Chapter 5
"The Plan"
Tom and Katrina returned back to Hogwarts. Katrina was still in a gloomy state. Her parents were dead. She was an orphan. She was the only living pureblood Smith family member remaining.
Classes were already out. The sun was dipping low into the sky, painting everything in a hue of deep red. Tom led Katrina up an unfamiliar flight of stairs and into what Katrina thought was an empty classroom. Inside was the group Katrina recognized as Tom's group. All of them had their wands out and were looking very busy. All of them stopped the minute Tom and Katrina walked in.
"My Lord." All of the people said as they bowed.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like for you all to give a warm welcome to our newest member, Katrina Anne Smith." said Tom as he pushed Katrina in front of him.
The group began to talk amongst themselves. Many threw dark glances at Katrina while others glanced at her curiously.
"I know you all are wondering why I have made Katrina a member. Well, I can sense a power, so dark, so powerful in her that is intoxicating. Her parents were killed by muggles and her thirst for revenge is like our own. Everyone will help in training her." Tom said smoothly.
Katrina was introduced to a girl named Bellatrix Black. She had long, dark hair and menacing eyes as black as coal, yet very pretty and tall.
"Come, I will teach you a few curses you must know." said Bellatrix.
Tom went over to the others while Bellatrix led Katrina to a corner.
"Okay, the first curse you will be learning is called the Cruciatus Curse. This curse was a little something we worked up. It inflicts pain on your victim." said Bellatrix.
She reached into a box and pulled out a rat. The rat squirmed in her grasp as Bellatrix put it into another box in the corner. She then took out her wand.
"Now, you point your wand at the victim, really mean that you want to hurt him, and say "Crucio!"
A ray of red light erupted from Bellatrix's wand and hit the rat. The rat squeaked and twitched in pain. Katrina watched in shock. How could a curse like this ever have been invented? Bellatrix stopped. She pushed Katrina forward.
"Your turn." she said.
Katrina looked at the rat and took out her wand. She though of her parents, the man on the front paper, then screamed "Crucio!".
The rat once again was inflicted with pain. Katrina saw the rat as her parents' murderer. Avery touched Katrina's arm to stop her.
"That's enough darling." said Bellatrix.
Katrina was taught another curse called the Imperius Curse that allowed the person to control every action of their victim.
"I'm quite astonished." said Bellatrix. "It took us months to be able to get a hold of those curses."
Katrina smiled faintly. Her parents kept on floating through her mind. She could see their shocked faces as death gripped their souls and ripped them out. She saw that man dancing in her mother and father's blood. She saw him laughing at her for being an orphan. Everyone in the room was watching Katrina. They could sense her anger. Katrina looked at the box of rats nearby. She remembered how her parents said that they had ancestors on both sides of the family who were physicians. She was even given a book of all the healing spells. She searched her mind for one particular one. All eyes were on her as she walked over to the box of rats and pointed her wand at it.
"Avada Kedavra!" she yelled.
A bright ray of green light shot out from the wan and hot the rats in the box. There was only a quick second of squeaks before the light hit the twenty or so rats. Then, there was silence. Katrina lowered her wand in a bit of shock. Tom walked over to her and peered down into the box.
"They're dead. They're all dead." he said.
The rest of the group walked over and peered into the box.
"My God." said Bellatrix as she looked from the dead rats to Katrina.
The room was full of whispers.
"How did she do that?" asked a boy.
"Exactly what I'd like to know." said Tom as his emerald eyes peered into Katrina's cinnamon ones.
