Virtue
I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter Two
She didn't scream as the mark was burnt onto her. She barely opened her mouth as the creature held the wand to the back of her neck. Not so much as a whimper of pain escaped her.
She instantly wondered why Regulus had been crying when he'd gotten the mark. Then again, not many of the Black family had her tolerance for pain.
A low moan of pleasure escaped her lips. Suddenly she remembered where she and Bella had gotten their craziness from.
"Ow!" Serena turned an expecting eye to Bill as he hit his knee on the table. "Where's Charlie?"
"He's talking to Tonks." With that, she turned her eyes back down to her book. Bill frowned, looking at her.
Serena was sitting in a kitchen chair, leaning back on two legs with her tennis shoes hooked under the ledge of the table. Molly had given up trying to talk any sense into Sirius and Serena since they'd shown up.
"You're not careful you'll fall." He said, she didn't even blink. "I'm not as clumsy as Nymphadora, you know."
Bill opened his mouth, but closed it. "And pouting doesn't do anything for you, Bill."
This time the mouth stayed open.
"You don't get it, Remus! We have to do something about this!" Nymphadora started, ignoring Charlie as he looked at her.
"Andromeda said Bellatrix was at her house, and acting sane! You should know that Bella only acts sane when Satsuna's around!" Sirius growled.
"Merlin's Sake, the last time I actually saw Aunt Bella sane was when she and Satsuna where over for my nineth birthday!" Nymphadora said. "Isn't it possible that Serena's plan had a flaw in it!"
Remus looked skeptical. You wanted someone to doubt Serena's plans, Remus wasn't the guy to go to.
"Isn't it! Messing with the Cosmic Balance is something serious, it could have brought back Satsuna due to her being practicly fused to Sirius' soul." Four heads turned to stare at Serena, who'd picked up on their conversation. She was looking at Sirius with an apoligectic look on her face.
Bellatrix Lestrange giggled with glee as she bounced from one heel to the other. She stared down at the face of Satsuna.
"The group's finally back togather!" She giggled, watching Satsuna look up from her book. "Bella, please calm down."
Bellatrix obliged, plopping down next to her cousin. "My brother died, didn't he, Bella?"
Bella nodded, not thinking about the fact that she'd been the one to kill Sirius Black. She knew that Satsuna would be able to smell a lie, and if she'd told that Bella had killed him, then Satsuna would surely try to go against the Dark Lord the same way Regulus Black had tried to.
But then, Satsuna wasn't as weak as her little brother, she'd defy Voldermort and live to tell. She'd have the mark burnt off her body and it would not kill her.
Bella couldn't let that happen.
"That's it then, we'll have to go to my mother's." Nymphadora mummered, glaring at Sirius.
