Roast Rat Vol 1

Chapter 3

Bellatrix

Anxiety increased by the second as Harry, Ron and Hermione waited for the opportunity to attack. Harry was especially anxious though because he wanted his revenge. He put Bellatrix at the top for a reason; Sirius's death still rang bitter thoughts in his mind. By getting this over with earlier Harry hoped that maybe he could finally reach peace of mind with the death of his godfather's death.

There were no guards outside Bellatrix's hideout but that didn't make the place any less dangerous. None of them had seen any of these wizards except when they came to attack them. Roles were reversed in this situation: Harry, Ron and Hermione were the attackers and the evil wizards were on the defense.

Ron was looking through a pair of binoculars at the scene. "Okay so she's in that small house over there. Three people have entered since we got here and so far two have left. She seems to have a house keeper but so far I haven't seen anything else."

"Did you recognize anyone?" Hermione asked.

"No, their hoods block me from gettin' a good look."

"Okay so you understand the plan? I'll sneak in the back, give me five minutes and then you two assault the front door."

"I'm not too sure about that. What if there are traps? Harry we're better off going for the front door together, besides there is only one invisibility clo-"

"Shhh!" Ron interrupted and then whispered, "Someone's leaving the house, I think that third guy. Now's our chance."

Harry grabbed the invisibility cloak and gave Hermione a look before throwing it over himself. There was a popping sound as the wizard Apparated and Harry ran towards the house.

He reached the fence around the backyard and was about to hop over it when he took a closer look at the vines around it. Sharp spikes covered every inch of it's surface and he took a step back. A breeze kicked in just then and he could smell rotting flesh. As he turned he saw a dead rabbit, which made him believe that the spike were poisonous too. No spike could kill an animal that fast on its own. Harry walked to the front of the house now and grabbed the hilt of his sword. Damnit, he thought, why is Hermione always right? Isn't there a limit to that sorta thing?

Ron and Hermione ran to Harry's position a short time later.

"Ready Ron?" Hermione asked arming her wand.

Ron took out his pistol and cocked it. "Ready" he said taking aim at the doorway. Harry wasn't sure whether he should announce his presence or not but before he could really do anything Hermione blasted open the door. Ron started shooting at the dust caused by the explosion. Then they both ran in and Harry followed close behind.

Upon entering the door they could see a dead wizard on the floor, probably on his way out. No sign of the housekeeper or Bellatrix. From the doorway the hallway split in two directions. Ron and Hermione both went to the left and Harry decided to take the right one.

Harry entered a dinning room that was painted completely black with a long table and chairs that were made of a dark wood. Light came in from the creases in the windows covered by black curtains and the candles on the chandler so Harry could still see fairly well. On the floor he saw what was probably the housekeeper; an old, ugly lady that somehow seemed fitted to this house. She was out cold from the shock of the explosion, but Harry didn't pay much attention to her once he heard the blasting from another room. He quickly moved into the next room, a study, and could see the battle well. Ron and Hermione had backed Bellatrix into another dining area. She was blasting curses but at a slower speed then Ron's bullets and Hermione's counter curses.

Harry decided he would end this now. He ran up towards her undetected due to all the noise from the fight and once he was right beside her, he unsheathed the Hattori Hanzo blade. The metal sound instantly alerted her but just as she was turning around, Harry stabbed her in the stomach. The pain made her instantly drop her wand. She didn't wail or scream from the pain though, all she did was laugh.

"I like the pain!" she shouted out. "Who should I thank for this?"

She was mocking him, but Harry wasn't about to let her get the last word. He threw off the invisibility cloak.

"Remember me!" He shouted. She sharpened her glare on him and was about to speak when he pushed the sword further into her body. "I know you remember me! You killed him! You! This is for SIRIUS!" He twisted the sword and then pulled it out letting her intestines fall to the floor. She still stood there and began laughing again but then started coughing and fell to the floor. Blood poured from her wounds into the carpet.

"That… fuckin' traitor… he… deserved…"she said between laughter and coughing. Harry wasn't about to let her finish and with one blade stroke, cut off her head.

Ron and Hermione rushed to Harry and observed the scene but kept all comments to themselves. Harry grabbed a curtain and wiped the blood off his sword. He saw the housekeeper looking in from the study and before he could do anything she ran away. Harry started running after her.

"Ron! Hermione! We've got to get her!" he yelled at them.

When he reached the door it was already to late, she was gone.

"Damn, she must be a witch" Ron said. "She's probably telling them what happened by now."

"Damn it," Harry cursed.

"Well we knew it was bound to happen," Hermione said looking at nothing in particular. "What are we going to do with the bodies?"

"They don't deserve a proper burial, but I do have an idea." Harry said. "First let's see if we can find anything of value.

The three searched the house and found a few letters of value. Most of her furniture was cursed though and it was beyond their ability to deal with such items. Once they were done they stood outside the house.

"Are you ready?" Harry asked. Ron and Hermione nodded. They stood in a line and together cast the fire spell in unison. A huge beam of fire engulfed the house. The fiery inferno burned down the house in a matter of minutes and nothing but ash remained of the house. The fence in the back also burned down to nothing. Once this was over the fire immediately went out. Harry took out his kill list and crossed off the first name with a thick red permanent marker. Harry felt satisfied knowing she could no longer cause harm to anyone and then they all appariated from the scene.

It's over… so what did you think?

Soon to come: Chapter 4 with Moony! See ya then!
