Belletrix laughed as she looked at Shayne sitting on the chair.
" So you do remember?"
Shayne nodded. " Why are you doing this to me."
Belletrix smiled. " I'm not doing anything. I'm just here to tell you where you're loyalty should lie."
" What is she talking about Shayne? " asked his Uncle."
" Nothing Uncle. She is a damn liar."
Belletrix grinned. She pulled out her wand and placed it against her temple where she extracted a long silver vapour , waving her hand a pensive appeared.
" Shall I show your uncle or will you enlighten us all? " she laughed.
" Show me what? " cried his Uncle.
" How Bryan Quinn really died."
His Uncle sighed. " My Brother was murdered by Voldemort. He must have betrayed him."
" Wrong " cried Belletrix. " My master had nothing to do with his death. Quinn was a loyal follower of my master. It was an enemy of the Dark Lord who killed him."
" A member of the Order " said his Uncle. " Well that's not surprising. But they would have told me."
" No " said Belletrix and she grabbed both of their hands and dipped them into the pensive. " Here let me give you a preview."
Shayne cried as they fell through the penisve and into thick swirling air. They landed abruptly on the ground. He shivered as he saw his sixteen year old self.
" AVADA KEDAVRA " screamed Shayne and his Father colasped dead.
His Uncle yelled in horror and gaped at Shayne. Soon they were taken back further to before his Mother was killed.
" No " screamed Mrs Quinn. " Please stop...dont hurt us...please I beg of you."
" STOP IT " cried Shayne to Belletrix. " I dont want to see this. Please I cant bear this." Shayne tried to drown out his Mothers screams , tears brimmed in his eyes as his memories continued to haunt him.
Belletrix smiled and soon they were back in the present. " Seen enough? " she asked.
His Uncle glared at him. " You...killed my brother. All these years of wondering...how? why? who? and all this time it was you."
Shayne sighed. " Uncle you dont understand...I...didn't..."
" Get out of my house " yelled his Uncle. " You are as common as they are."
Shayne cried. " He killed my Mother. The bastard killed my Mother."
" What?"
" Did you not hear her screaming. He ordered for her capture and then he killed her in front of me. I was sixteen Uncle. Can you blame me for what I did? Can you tell me you would have done it differently?"
" He killed...Kathleen."
Shayne nodded. " We ran for it and they found us...one of them stunned me and then he killed her...She begged for mercy Uncle. She begged for it and he killed her instantly. I couldn't let him get away. I couldn't let him go back to Voldemort and then kill someone else again. What would you have done? I was powerless." Tears stained his face. " I was so scared and then I saw his face riddled by power and devotion to that Lord of his and I knew Uncle" Shaynes voice reached a pitch. " I knew exactly who he was...a common Slytherin once a Slytherin always a Slytherin. There was no special interviews with former Death Eaters. It was when he went out with his pals on killing sprees. I picked up my wand and I pointed it straight in his face and I saw the look of horror come over him and I think he knew what I was about to do and I think he knew there was no bond between us anymore. That had been severed since the day I had gone into Gryfindor. I only have one regret Uncle and thats the fact that I commited murder , but I am not sorry that he is dead. He killed Mum and he didn't bat a eye lid over it.
Shayne sighed. " The lousy bastard won anyways."
" How ? asked his Uncle.
Shayne laughed bitterly. " By getting me to do the one evil thing. Kill someone , use an unforgivable curse. Now he's dead rotting in a grave somewhere and I have to live with this for the rest of my life. It's not fair. I'm sorry Uncle for lying to you but I was scared. I was only sixteen , Mum and him were both dead and I didn't know what to do. I know I have disappointed you and for that I am most sorry."
His Uncle patted him on the shoulder. " Bryan and I were not close Lad. But your Mum was a fine woman and a kind hearted one too. I would have done the same. I'm sorry you had to hold it in all these years."
Shayne nodded. " I am too."
