Double Deuce: A Tale of Twin Destinies

In a darkened alley the skittering of tiny feet and claws could be heard. A small squeak and the sound of trashcan's being knocked over was all the warning passersby had before a small rat and tabby cat came racing out of the alley.

The rat ran towards another empty alley, keeping the cat as far back as possible. The cat hissed and caught up, catching the rat by I tail and holding it under it's paw. The cat's tail was flickering back and forth, but it had yet to eat the rat.

A woman came out of the shadows, petting the cat and glaring at the rat.

"Show yourself Peter. Don't make me chase you down again."

The cat stepped back to its mistress as the rat began to change form. After a moment a short balding man was sitting on the cold pavement. Some of the rat remained in his beady eyes, "B-bellatrix, I wasn't running away. I, well y-you see, I didn't recognize-"

The woman, Bellatrix, held her hand up, silencing the stuttering man. "I don't care for you're excuses. Did you find out anything?"

The fear disappeared from the man's eyes as he nodded, "Yes…Lupin and Black are here in New York. Just like I had said before."

Bellatrix rolled her eyes in annoyance, if Peter's Animagus form was not so valuable she would have little qualm about killing the sniffling coward.

"What about the Pair? Have they found them yet?"

Peter winced and nodded, "Yes. A pair of muggles, they work for the police. But they looked skeptical."

Bellatrix pursed her lips tightly; this was not good. Especially since she was the one to inform The Dark Lord. She turned on her heels, the cat following closely behind her, beginning to walk towards the end of the alley she glanced back at Peter.

"Keep a close eye on them. Every move. Should some unforeseen begin to happen come to the manor at once."

Peter nodded dumbly before transforming back to the rat form and scurrying towards the precinct.

Bellatrix sighed and, with a loud pop like a car backfiring, she was gone. The cat remained for a moment before running along the roofs and out of sight.

Bellatrix appeared inside a dark manor, away from the bustling city of New York. Shivering a bit from the cold that seemed to follow her master. Regaining her composure she walked into the parlor.

In front of the roaring fire was a tall backed chair, a figure silhouetted against the flames. Bellatrix drew nearer to the chair.

"Master." She whispered, not to keen on waking him should he be dozing. "I've news of the Pair."

The figure shifted and looked at her, red eyes glowing eerily in the dim darkness. A soft hiss escaped the lips before the figure spoke, "Is it good news? Have they been located and captured?"

Bellatrix stiffened at the hiss; she shook her head, "Not captured but identified. Two muggle policemen, and it seems…that Lupin and my dear cousin have located them as well." She had regained the venom in her voice at the mention of her cousin.

The figure stood and looked at her, causing the woman to flinch at the thought of punishment, but he merely laughed. A high cold laugh that sent shivers down her spine, worse then the fear of pain had caused. The laughter died down to a chuckle before The Dark Lord spoke again, "Then everything goes as it should."

"Master?"

"We need both pairs or one of each for the power to be harvested. I have planned this too long Bellatrix, to let a half-breed and a traitor to cause me failure."

The woman nodded, half understanding what the evil man was saying. She bowed in respect, "As you wish it will be done."

Voldemort waved his hand, signaling she could be dismissed. She quickly left the cold parlor and went up to the rooms she was occupying.

He still didn't trust her, not after what had happened at the Ministry earlier that year. She had almost killed one of the Pair. Her cousin. She'd been ecstatic of course; killing Sirius would be a feather in her hat. Then Voldemort had found out. She winced at the memory of what had been done to her.

The Dark Lord had been able to pull the Dementors from the veil. A human was not so difficult. Voldemort had used Sirius to find the other half of his pair: Remus Lupin. However they hadn't counted on the fool werewolf to realize his mate was back, nor on the rescue mission that had taken place. Apparently Lupin only looked defenseless. She sighed and laid down on the bed, they had all suffered after that. Though something had come from that failing. The two pairs had been activated, the bond between them beginning to grow in power.

Now all they had to do was capture the muggles, who held Osiris and Isis. With the power of the King and Queen Voldemort could realize his dream.

Lying back more comfortably and snuggling despite herself against the warmth of the blankets Bellatrix Lestrange fell asleep, visions of a successful revolt leaving a smile on her worn face.

A/N: Wow that was short. Sorry about the shortness, but villains aren't really my strong point ; Anyways, I had originally planned to ignore the ending of book 5, then thought it would be ironic if Voldemort had revived Sirius for his own wicked gains. But I had to have the rescue, it would be cruel (and against the plot ) to leave Sirius in the clutches of the evil Snake man. :P So I was nice and had Remy saveth him. But since this one is so short, I'll post another one to compensate

Lady Insomnia: First off thank you so much for all your reviews! And as for the Hathor/Hawthor, that's how it was spelled on the website I got the names from. It sounds the same though, maybe it's a phonetic spelling?
