Chapter 19- He's always watching
It had spread through Hogwarts like a wild fire. The thought on everyone's minds were what happened to Lily? It didn't take many long to figure it out. The black owl the tears. Her parents had been killed by Voldemort. But no one knew how she got better.
Lily was sitting in the Heads rooms reading. The Marauders and Marauderettes came in and sat around her. She knew what they were going to ask her. She had been expecting it, waiting for it to come.
Frank opened his mouth to speak but Lily started talking. "I know you want to know what Dumbledore and I spoke about. I guess it is only fair to tell you. Well he said he could be a father like figure to me. Not my guardian just someone who I could go to when I am down…" Lily seemed to be thinking then she turned to James.
"Also James if you ever throw me over your shoulder and carry me like that again I will have to kill you."
Everyone smiled, Lily was threatening James, everything had to be back to normal.
"Why would you want to kill me Lilykins? I am the handsome, ravishing boyfriend."
"Who happens to be a prat." Emilie said with out thinking.
James mocked looking hurt, forcing Lily to roll her eyes. Sirius started up pretending to be Lily. "and this is what is going through her mind…" Sirius said before starting up in a high pitched voice. "Must I love him James Potter and not the great Sirius Black." Christine smacked him in the head.
"Hello what about me Sirius? Or was I just a fling?"
"You? Fling? Never!" Sirius replied.
"Sirius get over yourself." Emilie said.
"ME over myself? I believe not! OH Emmy won't you change your hair color for us? Please? Oh oh oh predict something,"
Suddenly Emilie's hair went from Light brown to pitch back. "I predict that Sirius Black is soon going to very hurt."
"How do you know?"
"Because I do." With out a moment's hesitation the Marauderettes conjured up pillows and started hitting Sirius in the head.
"Not Fair! Not Fair! I surrender!"
"Thought you would Sirius." Alice replied as the Marauderettes poofed their pillows away.
"I would not! I resent that! How dare you trick me!"
"Sirius darling would you like to become a girl again? I think you would remember the beginning of last year."
Sirius's eyes grew in horror, the faint memory of Christine turning him into a girl because he wanted to know what the gossip was about grew in him mind. "NO no no no no no no no."
"I'm sure Jimmy would love to see the Sirius Black as a girl again." Alice said.
"I'm sure Jimmy never wanted to see him as a girl in the first place, actually I don't think any of us wanted to see Sirius as a girl. Or we never want to see him as one again." Emilie rebutted.
Voldemort looked through the cauldron. He had one of his Death Eaters create a potion that allows him to watch James and Lily.
"Yes my dears go on happily with your friends. Try and forget what happened to Miss. Evans's parents. But I am watching you always watching you." Voldemort laughed evilly.
His Death Eaters around him joined in. Voldemort cut them off. "Go now and get the supplies I want. WE have some work to be done!"
Sirius was begging Christine not to turn him into a girl. "Please please please."
"Well since you asked so nicely." Christine whispered a spell she hadn't said in some time. Sirius was suddenly a girl again.
"HEY NOT FAIR! I didn't want to be a girl and I am not as hot as last time."
The girls rolled their eyes. "May be this will teach you a lesson Sirius Black." Emilie said.
Voldemort was back watching the teenagers. "Black? Goyle get me Regulus and Bellatrix."
Goyle scurried off to get the two other death eaters. When they approached Voldemort he didn't waste anytime asking them questions.
"You have another family member who is friends with Potter?" Voldemort spit out.
Bellatrix looked at the ground, "Yes master, he made friends with him first year. We tried to change him back but last year he ran away from home. He ran away to Potter's house."
Voldemort stared at one of his most trust worthy Death Eaters. "What do you mean he ran away to the Potter house? What do you mean he ran away from home? And why isn't he on my side!" A plan started to stir inside of his evil mind. There are more than just Miss Evans who can get to Potter. Oh course there is Mr. Sirius Black… but if I got them both. Captured them if I may…hmm then I could get Potter. Kill of the youngest and work my way up.
Christine had changed Sirius back into a guy. Sirius was dancing around singing about being in boxers again. The Marauders were laughing their heads off and the girls stopped paying attention. Christine kept looking over at Sirius then turning back to her friends.
"Do you think that he remembered?"
"Chris you expect Sirius Black, the one who is currently singing about his boxers, to remember something like that." Emilie said.
"I guess your right."
"I think that he might remember you will never know, I mean they all have matured a little bit. Well except Peter. I'm not sure why we still hang out with him." Alice interrupted.
Sirius had stopped singing about his boxers and walked over to Christine. He kissed her on the cheek and asked how she was doing.
"Sirius honey, do you remember what tomorrow is?" Christine hopefully looked up.
"Um Sunday?"
Christine's expression fell, "yes it is Sunday but what else is it?"
"Your birthday?"
"No."
"Someone in your family's Birthday?"
"No"
"I KNOW MY BIRTHDAY!"
"NO!" Christine stormed into Lily's room.
"What is it?" he asked to no one in particular.
"Think about it Sirius what happened a few months ago tomorrow."
Remus and James's faces lit up because they knew. Sirius still looked dumbfounded.
Voldemort turned to the Blacks. "Go get me wormtail."
Moments later Bellatrix and Regulus returned with Peter. Peter was shacking as if he had a fever. "Wormtail, I need you to do something for me."
"ye- yes master."
"You will bring me Black…Potter's Black. You will bring him to me. Trick him; do whatever you have to but get him to me with out Potter noticing."
"But why master."
"That does not concern you Wormtail."
"yesss master." Peter turned and left Voldemort. He returned to Hogwarts and to his 'friend.'
"Hey Wormtail where have you been?" Sirius asked.
"Um wandering around the castle. You know I still get lost there are so many passages."
"Ya I know but really we should put a tracker on you so we know where you are…oh wait we already have."
"You have?"
"Yes it is called the Marauder's Map."
Peter seemed to calm down a little bit. "Padfoot."
"Yes?"
"I need your help."
"Don't you always? Should I go get the rest of the Marauders?"
"NO! I mean no it's fine I just need your help."
Sirius looked at him skeptically but nodded. "So why do u need my help?"
"I want to surprise our friends you know what I mean? They have been so good lately I want to give them something back."
"And you don't want to surprise me is that it?" Sirius laughed.
"No it is just that I can't pull it off with out you." Peter led Sirius down a dark hall way. The talked about the party and Sirius started to wonder why Peter was leading him down this section of the school.
"Well; Well; Well; who do we have here? My cousin and his little friend." Bellatrix Black stepped out of the shadows.
"Bella what are you doing here I thought that you swore never to come back to this muggle loving school when you left."
"OH cousin, How silly of you to think that. I came to do your mother a favor and get rid of you for good."
Peter stayed cowering in the corner. He watched as Sirius and his Cousin fought.
"You can't get rid of me Bella and you know it. And I thought you didn't know anyone by the name of Sirius Black?"
"I don't cousin. But I have heard of someone by that name."
"Well at least I'm well known." Sirius reached for his wand. But Bellatrix was quicker.
"Exeriaumus." Sirius's wand flew out of his hand. Peter's eyes grew; the Dark Lord didn't trust him enough to let him do this on his own. He knew that but watching Sirius and Bellatrix fighting made him jealous. He heard someone coming but didn't say anything. Even if he tried he wouldn't have been heard.
"What is going on here?" Christine asked. Emilie, Remus, James, and Lily fallowed behind her.
Sirius turned around. "You guys get out of here my cousin is here."
"Oh look my cousin has brought his friends to play with Bella."
"Bellatrix how nice of you to come to us." James exclaimed, "All the easier to dispose of you."
"What has my cousin brought here? A half-blood, A blood traitor, a mudblood, two nothings and a Potter. What my luck. I can get rid of you all at the same time."
"Don't try Bellatrix your out numbered." Lily lowered her voice to a dangerous whisper.
"The power of the Dark Lord is greater than any power that any of you could posses." She cackled.
"You wish." Emilie but in.
"Don't worry I don't."
"There is no way you could conquer us all Bellatrix."
"Didn't anyone tell you? I'm a pureblood with more power than any Mudblood could have."
Lily glared at Bellatrix. No one had noticed Peter but he noticed all that was going on. HE looked at everyone. He thought he was seeing things. He swore that Remus had come with them. He counted again, no he was right Remus had disappeared. Hr> Remus saw Bellatrix and Sirius. Little Peter was in the corner, they needed Dumbledore and he knew it. As James started to tell off Bellatrix he snuck out. Lily watched him go quizzically. He ran as fast as he could. He saw Alice and Frank not too far away. He told them what happened and the three of them ran to Dumbledore's office. To their luck he was just walking away from the Gargoyle.
"Professor Dumbledore." Remus called out. Dumbledore turned around. He watched as the three seventh year Gryffindors bounded up to him.
"Bellatrix Black….Friends…..Hogwarts." Remus was able to say between breaths. Dumbledore gave Remus a confused look. He tried again. "Bellatrix Black in Hogwarts fighting with my Friends. Fallow me."
Remus started to run again. He had Dumbledore, Alice and Frank fallowing him.
Voldemort watched as Potter and his friends appeared. He cursed allowed that Peter couldn't do the simplest of things. He didn't blame Bella her job was just to bring Black to him. He cursed again as he watched the half-blood sneak off. He knew that Dumbledore would be on his way any minute now. Knowing what he needed to do he called Bellatrix to him. Away from Potter and Dumbledore.
"Did your Half-blood Friend go off and desert you? See what good friends Half-bloods make." She felt her arm burning; she pulled up her sleeve to see that the dark mark on her arm was turning Black. Quickly she pulled her sleeve down and disappeared. The group looked confused. You couldn't Apparte in Hogwarts and they didn't hear her apparte.
They heard footsteps and turned around to see Dumbledore, Remus, Alice and Frank coming up. "Professor she disappeared." Lily announced upon his arrival. Remus looked down at the piece of parchment in his hand. A Little dot moved through on of the secret passages and into Hogsmeade. A little dot labeled Bellatrix Black.
