Chapter five: Bellatrix

Harry took a deep breath has he pushed open the large oak doors in front of him, opening to the view of voldemort sitting behind his large desk writing in haste. He cleared his throat to make his presence known causing Voldemort to look up from his writing and gesture the chair in front of him. Harry smirked and strolled across the floor to sit where he was told.

"Well Harry how are you adjusting to your new room?" He asked shifting his crimson eyes to Harry's emerald causing Harry to shrug.

"It seems loads better then those filthy muggles had me in thats for sure." Harry commented brushing his hair from his face, then steeled himself he had come there for a reason. "Tom, I need to go to Diagon alley and Knockturn has well." He commented shifting his eyes outside the window to take in the scene of the still booming storm. There was a pause, Tom was probably thinking it over by his guess but he would wait has long has it took.

"Very well, you and ours may go." He began in a thoughtful voice has he looked over his now second in command. "And has well you will need to fill in the empty slots of your inner circle. Those who will prove the most loyal to you, even if the muggle loving fool should try to intervene." He finished still casting his gaze over the young man in front of him in total awe of how Albus could turn such a powerful wizard from his side.

"I was thin-" Though Harry's words were cut off from a loud crack beside him. A dark figure appeared on the floor next to him though at the same time Harry saw a green beam flashing from the side of his face. Tom was going to kill the person without even thinking it through, it seemed to Gyffindorish for his taste. So with reflexs born of quidditch he threw his foot under the chair next to him and kicked it upwards into the path of the beam causing it to burst into flames and slam into the wall over the figures head. 'what the hell' he said turning his attention next to Voldemort that was eyeing him curiously.

"Aww still the perfect Gryffindor young Harry." Harry said smirking looking at him which only caused him to snort.

"No, I was keeping a informative alive, while you were acting without thinking. So tell me who is the Gryffindor?" Harry replied with a sly smirk which caused a high pitched laugh from voldemort. He was quite sure had anyone one else attempted this Cruico would have been on them so fast it would have made thier head spin. Though has the two talked the figure squirmed and a female's voice emitted from behind the mask.

"Master... I'm back from the north." The voice replied though by this time Harry's blood had already frozen over. He had just saved the life of Bellatrix Lestrange. Harry whipped around to glare at the woman behind him instantly whising he had let the curse hit the wench. Harry glared at the form behind him and turned back to voldemort that chuckled at his expression before waving a hand at the female.

"Well well Bellatrix it would seem you have some explaining to do to my second in command." He said smirking before he nodded to Harry again. "I have something to do, I shall return within three days you may go to diagon alley but bring a distraction with you. " And with that he apparated out of the room leaving a very stunned death eater behind and a very pissed Harry Potter. Harry sneered at the now absent voldemort before he turned around to glare at the woman behind him.

"Well then, just what were your orders?" He barked glaring down at her with a flame in his eyes.

"My-my orders are none of your concern Potter." She snapped glaring back at him, she was wondering if she should pull her wand out but her master hadn't harmed the boy it would seem so she would hold off. But the boy seemed not to care about the woman because he stood now and walked past her to fling open the oak doors.

"Cho, Ginny!." He barked into nowhere which made Bellatrix giggle, surely this boy was crazy only her master's voice would carry with the heavy wards placed on the castle. And instantly two figures appeared in front of him with a loud crack bowing in front of him. In front of Potter. In her master's home. This was too much she thought to herself has she stood up and pointed her wand at the boy.

"What is going on here?" She screamed wondering which hex to throw at the boy though he didn't even flinch just turned and glared at her, but the girls behind him were a whole other story. Thier wands were locked on her with a demonic gleam in thier eyes almost daring her to move, normally she would have sneered at the girls and attacked anyway but the look seemed familair. It was the same look she bore that night in the ministry, the night she defended her master.

"You'll hold your damn tongue worm." Cho seethed causing her wand to spourt sparks has she glared at Bellatrix, but again Potter only sneered gently putting down the girls wands.

"I'll deal with her in a moment, you two how ever need to gather the Senior weasleys." Harry began causing the two's eyes to shift back to him which instantly shifted back to a calm and gentle tone. "Dropping them off in the alley will cause enough distraction for us to slip in and out of the shops well hiddened I'm guessing, go alert Draco, Cho. Ginny you gather your parents we will be departing soon so grab a two way port key along the way." He commanded in a even tone and with them vanishing at his command. When they were gone Harry smirked and wheeled around to face Bellatrix that was beyond confused now. "You should be more commending Lestange, after all I did save your life." Harry said lazily has he neared her making her take a step back. Bellatrix looked taken aback for a second before she looked at the ground nodding. The boy had saved her life that was certain, she would have died before she even opened her mouth.

"Why did you it..." She said still staring at the ground her dark violent eyes scanning for anything to focus on.

"Oh don't get me wrong I wouldn't have had I known it was you." He said sneering now grabbing her chin to force her to look him in the eyes, his own emerald sinking into her violet. She squirmed at his touch, she could feel the darkness growing within him. The power that was slowly swelling inside him, she wanted it. Badly. "But then again, I can use someone like you." He said still giving her a calculating stare, she wanted to respond but her lips and everything along with them stopped working. "Someone so intense into thier mission they'll let noone stop them..." He paused here letting her face go. "Even family." With that he took a step back and looked at her, she seemed conflicted has though she were thinking of something to fast to grasp it.

"I didn't.. I didn't mean to-" Though here she was cut off from Harry pointing her wand at her, with a low growl.

"Don't lie to me, you meant to the very depth of your black heart." Harry said with a sadistic look on his face has he watched her. "I replayed the night in my head over and over again, at first I thought it was merely a stunner, but something was different about it. Stunners are pure red, you'res on the other hand had more of an orange tint to it. And more to the point, you postioned him to that area you knew the veil was beind him. So don't you dare tell me you didn't mean to." Harry seethed glaring at the woman in front of him. Who looked back up at him with a demented smile.

"So you figured me out, I wanted him dead. He betrayed our family, he deserved everything he got." She retorted back her voice with a hint of madness. "So what now, my life is forfeit to you under wizarding bond and I," she sneered. "Unlike my cousin hold to my families beliefs. So are you going to kill me know Potter? To avenge your dear Sirius." She sneered knowing death was approaching her, but for at least the tenth time that night she was confused. The boy in front of her laughed, opened and darkly throwing his head back so his raven hair casaded freely.

"Avenge a soul who blindly fooled that muggle-loving fool." He asked throwing his emerald eyes back to her. "Sirius betrayed me just has he betrayed you, I have no need to avenge him. Why should I care? If he would have lived his own life that fool would still be here, so no. I will not kill you because of a fool, but offer you a place in my inner circle. Chose me or death, that is your choice. Decide." Harry declared staring down at her, one of his slender eyebrow's raised at her. Bellatrix just looked at the boy, no.. man in front of her. Something inside the man was different now, dark, much like the Lord Voldemort of the past was, not the scared man he was now. In an instant she had made up her mind.

""I swear my wand, soul, body and mind to you my lord, till Gryffindor take me they are yours." She calmly stated kissing his cloak. "All that I am I give to you, how ever you chose to use it." She smiled darkly has she said use, looking up into her new master's eyes. Who only smirked, again he felt the same warm feeling he felt when the other two swore to him. But before he could say anything else, three loud cracks snapped behind him making him turn to his other three servants.

"Well then, lets paint the town red."
