A week and a half later Ynys Afallach time.

It had been a week and a half since she and Harry consummated their handfasting and at first nothing had changed; however, the first sign had changed was her overly sensitive nipples, followed 2 days later by light nausea and occasional dry heaves.

Bella herself was getting ready for the day putting on her brazier.

Did it shrink! Bella thought discarding it as she went to put on her dress only to find out it too was a bit snug in the chest area.

Making her way to the main area Bella found Morgaine and her daughter having breakfast."

"Morgaine." Bella called as a sudden cramp hit her. Rhian Wylit moved to catch her.

"Something is wrong with me." Bella said in a hard frustrated voice.

Helping Bella to a seat Rhian said, "Why don't you tell us"

"Well, first my nipples became really sensitive, then I started to get sink but never threw up, now the girls have gotten… bigger."

Mother and daughter gave each other knowing looks Morgaine asks Bella, "When was the last time you had your courses, Bella."

"I'm not sure, being in Azkaban really messes you up."

"Wait a minute, why are you asking about my per…", Bella thought, could I be… pregnant?

Reading her face Rhian said, "That is a distinct possibility!"


On the other side of Ynys Afallach, Harry was working with Myrddin.

"You make Magic so easy." Harry said, "My other teachers overly complicated things."

His willowy voice said, "Thank you harry… but I've had 20 millennia to hone my craft and I've found the simpler you make things."

"The better." Harry said honestly.

"That's enough for now." Myrddin stated, "Practice your meditation, the key is to remain centered, and keep the location you want to go fixed in your mind."

Harry nodded.


As they lay in bed that afternoon Bella said, "I think I'm… pregnant Harry."

"I don't regret what we did Bella, I never expected to live past the war" Harry said in a somber tone.

Kissing her temple he whispered, "This is where my growing up mortal can help you."

Bella's brow rose to a speculative arch as Harry said, "Be right back."

Bella watched as Harry faded out.

He certainly knows how to make an exit

Harry faded in a dark alley across from a chemist, as he ran into the dark alley he had one thing on his mind, Bella.

Appearing at her side Harry said, "This is a home pregnancy test."

Morgaine, Rhian can you come to our chamber, Harry thought, I will explain when you get here…

Both Morgaine and Rhian notice the box in Harry's hand asking, "Harry?"

Sheepishly Harry said, "It's a home pregnancy test, it measures hormone changes in a woman's"

With a light chuckle Rhian said, "We understand Harry, things haven't changed that much."


3 minutes later and 2 pink stripes later Harry is dancing around the room with Bella in his arms.

"Harry… laugh… Put… laugh… Me…Down"

Catching her breath Bella asks, "You're not mad."

The look on Harry's face said No.

"Do you remember that prophecy everyone was losing their minds over?"

Bella nods as Harry whispered, "It stated that, in order for one to live, the other must die."

"I never expected to live."

Bella held him close as Morgaine stated, "Molly is going before the high king tomorrow, Bella you will have to stand before Excalibur and speech your truth…"

"Alright." Bella said softly.

"Bella" Morgaine said, "No being possessed of the dark can stand in front Excalibur without feeling extreme pain."

"How do you know that." Harry asks.

"Because, I forged Excalibur, it's a sword of pure light Harry." Morgaine explained, "But the larger threat is The Sword of Truth."

A deep baritone voice said, "Only to those who lie, and deceive."

A Man standing 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds walks in stating, "How is my niece it's been ages."

Shaking her head Morgaine said, "You always were a charmer, Arthur."

"Harry… meet Arthur High King of Camlann, and my brother."

Arthur eyes Harry with a discerning eye and Harry got the distinct impression he was not looking at him but looking at his very soul.

"Your Fomóire." Arthur said, "When you come tomorrow, I will introduce you to Lugh, he is a kinsman of yours, and my right hand."


The following day in Camlann just outside the Kings Chamber, Lugh took everyone involved into a side chamber.

Taking in the gathered crowd Lugh states, "While you are guests in Camlann you are subject to its laws, once we enter The Kings Chamber no one may draw their wand without permission."

"If We Do?" Ron asked.

"If that happens Ronald Weasley, you will be summarily executed, as it will be seen as an attempt on the High Kings Life." Lugh said matter of factly.

"You will also be seeing someone you know to be a death eater."


15 minutes later as everyone files into The Kings Chamber Ron nearly attacks Bella.

Hermione Granger- Weasley grabs his shoulder saying, "Ron I don't feel like becoming a widow six months after becoming a bride."

A man takes out 2 swords, raising his right arm he said, "This is Excalibur, no evil may stand it its presence, and he puts it in place, raising his left arm he said, "This is the sword of truth, No one can bare false witness it its presence."

"I am Arthur Pendragen, High King of Camlann." Looking at the Minister he said, "Minister Shacklebolt, I want you to say something you know to be false."

"I am not a wizard." Kingsley Shacklebolt said, no sooner did the words leave his lips than the man's body felt like it was on fire, and he was on his knees.

"Now, if you will Tell the truth." The High King stated.

In a hoarse and haggard voice Kingsley said, "I am a wizard."

"The Effects did no permanent damage." Arthur said, waving his hand and a servant came over with a goblet.

"Drink it, It's a restorative."

"As I have just demonstrated you cand fool The Sword of Truth." The High king said, "So don't try to!"

Bella stepped forward grabbing The Sword of Truth and holding it in her hands.

His voice became forceful and imposing as The High King said, "State your name!"

Harry nodded at her letting her know it was alright, as Bella thought, this is not how I wanted to tell people.

In her mind Bella heard Harry say, it's not how I wanted my friends to findout about us love, but there is no hiding it now.

Taking a breath Bella said, "Bellatrix Potter"

"YOU LIE!" Molly Weasley roared, her rant was cut off by Harry saying, "Fleur witnessed the handfasting."

"No worries, Harry." Molly said, "It can be undone."

"Actually, it can't, but more importantly I don't want it undone." Harry said in a low toneless voice.

"I don't see why I'm on trial." Molly said, "The Ministry should have put a stop to this."

"The Ministry of Magic holds no sway here." Lugh states unrolling a scroll he said, "I call your attention to section one, subsection 2B."

"And I quote:

In accordance with the International Confederation of Wizards, Ynys Afallach is a free nation not subject to The Ministry of Magic Rule of Law.

"In short Mrs. Weasley, you attacked members of The High Kings family unprovoked and with malice."

"BUT SHE IS A DEATH EATER!" Molly screamed.

"A former death eater, and it was not by choice." Bella said sharply

Lugh pulled The High King aside for a brief conference.

"Mrs. Weasley!" The High King said, ""If You can't restrain yourself, you will be restrained."

"As I was saying." Bella continued; "We were Handfasted almost 2 weeks ago Ynys Afallach time."

"I believe I have one of one of your Death Eaters in my dungeon, since Mrs. Weasley needs proof of Bella's Innocence have Mr. Nott brought here forth-with." The High King commanded

Mr. Nott entered the room, and the High King drew Excalibur, from its scabbard and is started glowing brighter and brighter still to the point where it was blinding.

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa"

Nott was forced to his knees and in a hard ragged voice said, "Get that away from me…. It burns."

Mr. Nott was taken away, standing Bella took The Sword of Truth in hand and said, "I swear I am no longer a death eater, and I was not one by my choice."

Nothing happens

She moves to the High King and takes Excalibur from him holding it for a full minute and nothing happens.

"It would appear you attacked an innocent woman." Lugh states looking at Mrs. Weasley, "Because they were members of the Royal Family, it is a matter of state."

Bella whispers something to The High King.

Arthur waves over two attendants and gives them instructions, moments later the two attendants along with six warriors clad in red cloaks escort her out of the chamber to an ornate room.

"This wing is reserved for The Lady of Avalon and her guests you may rest here undisturbed"

"What is your Name?" Bella asks

"It's Simon"

"Thank you, Simon, please call me Bella."

"These warriors will be just outside to ensure privacy save for your husband and family."

Feeling a wave of nausea Bella asks, "Simon, would you know where Morgaine is."

No sooner had she spoken the words than the lady herself was by her side.

"Morning sickness?" Morgaine asks.

Bella nods saying, "It's getting worse."

"Simon" Morgaine said, "I will need some hot water."

Bella watches as Morgaine crushes some herbs in her hands and added them to a cup, with the second attendant coming back with the hot water pouring into the waiting cup.

"This will help." Smiling Morgaine said, "Rhian is on her way to sit with you, and Bella no magic unless it's an emergency."

Morgaine gave Bella a hug and Bella whispered, "Love you great grandmother."

"Thank you Bella."

Rhian walks in and embraces Bella softly saying, "Everyone talks about the joys of pregnancy… no one tells you about the downside."


30 minutes later Bella walks back into the hearing room with her head held high and beside her was Rhian.

Molly caught one glimpse of Rhian thinking; it can't be she died in childbirth.

Taking the witness stand Rhian waiting for the first question.

Looking at her Lugh states "For the record state your name."

"As both my Madan and Married names are important, I will state them both."

"I was born Rhian Wylit daughter of Morgaine of Avalon and Myrddin Wyllt, by Marriage I am Rhian Wylit-Back mother of Lycoris Black."

"I am Tuatha Dé."
