Harry Potter is not mine, This is a story from a fan.

As you can all see my two weekly updates are a little off. I'm trying but I just don't get it done in the last couple of weeks. I do not have a writer's block but I do seem to struggle a lot with the last couple of chapters. So Sorry for the irregular updates but as soon as I get it back the updates will be every two weeks. Until then I hope I won't keep you long from any following updates. Sorry for that but in no way will I drop this story. I'm in it till the end and I have more stories in my head. The next one is A helping hand new version.

(BSC 5 C24) C152, the first answer and the first day 2

After they all got out of the memory they all looked at the members of House Hogwarts. They had all seen how Harry had taken the fight to Voldemort by giving him an eye for an eye so to say. The one thing that did not surprise them all was that Harry had not joined into the demolition of Grabb manor. Minerva stepped to her grandson and had already asked in her mind what she was about to ask with real words. Harry just shook his head telling her it would be something for later.

Minerva gave a sharp nod and had to ask her next question. "We have all seen what you all have done and it was a wonderful piece of bundling your powers. We, however, would like to know why it took so long for you all to return here. Amelia had already been to the manor and came here before you all returned. So we are not accusing you of anything we were only worried and that is why we want to know". Minerva said the last part because she could see some of the faces starting to panic and she wanted to put a stop on it before it got out of hand in into a wrong direction.

Harry could answer the question but he let Tracy do it because it was clear she wanted to. "Well, as a member of House Hogwarts I followed our leader Harry Potter and his group of inner friends". For most of the adults, it sounded a lot like the inner circle, just like the one Voldemort had. "I know that it sounds a lot like the inner circle of Riddle. And that is what it is. We are calling our selfs that because it will put the fear in him and that is what we want". This time the adults all nodded as they understood why it was. "Now Harry had talked to us before we went and we knew that we only had to do what we did. After it, he took us to Potter manor where he showed us who we saved".

Some of the Adults didn't know what to think about it but Amelia knew. "That was a smart thing to do. You took them to who they saved and that told them why they did what they did". Sirius looked at Amelia and clearly didn't understand what she was talking about. "Sirius, by showing how they save somebody. They can understand that it wasn't just to retaliate but it also had a purpose".

It was at this time Hermione spoke up. She had been sitting by her mother and just had to do it. "We also buried the girl that has died in the manor. The other woman has told us that she wasn't the only girl who had died there. They themselves were Muggleborns but the girl came from a muggle orphanage. They told us that their Leader, (Voldemort) said she would not be missed if they get them from there. Harry had made a little spot on his land where we could bury the ones we lost. Remus was already placed there before the girl just like Harry's parents' will be moved later on. But we also thought it would be a good place for those who don't have it. When and if we find her family she will stay or be placed where they want her". It again told the adults that the friends had prepared themselves for everything.

It took another hour before everybody went away and to bed. It would be one of those nights that they all knew the kids would seak each other out for a little bit of support. The only ones left in the common room were Arabella, Isabella and Minerva. They were all sitting down looking at Bella, Daphne and Harry.

Now was the time for Minerva to ask what she wanted to ask the first time. "Harry why did you not join them all in the spell".

Harry looked down. "Well, I could have, but I did not want my peers to see the power I use when I'm mad. I'm not sure but we were afraid it would scare them all away. And I know that we will need them later on. They are mentally younger then we are but they will grow up when the war is here. Just like we have already done. Now I would like to go and play hide and seek with all of them. but that is not possible with the things that will happen in this war. Now by not joining them, I showed them what they could do and also why they do it. That was shown when we talked to the woman we rescued from Grabb manor". They talked a little more before they all said goodnight. Minerva went back to her office where she would have two people that would stay the night. You might never know the kids could need them if they had bad dreams.

Harry went to his bed and was soon joined by Bella and Daphne who just didn't want to be alone during the night.

Minerva had walked back to her chamber with the two ladies following her closely. In her mind, she had been thinking about what her grandson had said. The part of the young once fighting the war hurt her a lot. Still, at the end that is what would have to be done because the adults that were around here were either too scared or too stupid to do it. Albus wanted to give the Death Eaters second chances while he watched the Death Eaters killing everybody around them. The ministry workers were either too afraid or just to corrupted to stand up against it all. The Aurors wanted to do a lot but they too were held back by the rules they were supposed to follow. Then again there were a lot of Death Eaters that were actually Aurors themselves and they didn't follow them but used the rules when they were handy to use.

Minerva hadn't said a word and only walked on into her room and straight to the cabinet where she kept her bottle of fire Whiskey. "You, know that Susan would say, See and again they go for the bottle".

Minerva turned around and smiled at Isabella as she held out a glass for her. "She would say that. But then again they don't drink yet and when they do I will throw it right back at her"

Isabella raized her glass and gave her a smile that turned sad. "I'm not sure if I like this thing Harry said. I know it will come down to them and I know that they will not back down. But did we really get that far off that the young once have to do what we adults don't want or can't do"?

"Yes, they have," Arabella said. "I know Harry can do it but he has to use the power he has inside of him. He is using some of it but not everything. The only time he really used it is when he gets mad. We saw it in the way he refused to participate in the spell. He was right to not do it because it would have scared a lot of them away".

"Not only that," Minerva told her. "Voldemort had seen the memory so he knows Harry means it. If he had seen the power he could repair himself for it".

Isabella nodded "Let us pray that the war will be quick and painless for everyone" as she held out her glass to Minerva to get it filled.

Narcissa had left Malfoy manor and appeared in the middle of Diagonally. She didn't know what to do. but knew that she had to get out of there. The next thing was what to do now. It was in the middle of the night and she had no place to go. Sure she could go to Potter castle but her attraction to Nolwenn scared her a little. She then thought about what she herself thought of it. She just could not see herself with a woman but then Again Nolwenn was something else. Still, it was all so confusing to her. If only she had somebody that could tell her about the love of another woman. Narcissa snapped her fingers and disappeared to the only spot she knew she could get some answers.

It was a couple of seconds later she stood at the side of the water waiting for the boat to take her to the one place she would get the answers she knew she had the questions for. As she stepped out of the boat and through the door. She did wonder if she was doing the right thing by doing this but she had come this far. She was guided to the top floor and made her own way to the back of the hallway to the cell she wanted to see. As she got to the bars Bellatrix appeared and scream. "GET OUT, GET OUT NOW. YOU DON"T HAVE TO BE HERE".

Narcissa took a step back and shook her head. This had been the last thing she thought would happen as she gazed into the evil eyes of her little sister. Slowly she took steps back.

"YOUR HUSBAND ORDERD YOU TO STAY AWAY AND NOW YOU ARE HERE, GUARD TRAITORS, TRAITORS".

Narcissa shook her head and started to turn around. She didn't know what happened to Bellatrix but something wasn't right. The only thing she wanted now was to get away from there and fast. Narcissa had bearly stepped from the boat when Snot appeared next to her and poped her away. She gazed around herself and was really confused at what she saw. She was in a magical tent and the only thing she wanted was to get out of there.

"The magical Potter tent stands on the left side of the cell" Bellatrix whispered into her ear.

Narcissa turned around as the impulse to flee went away. She turned around and saw her little sister standing next to her smiling widely. "What, how, why".

"My Harry takes good care of me. He gave me this tent after he learned about it at the Worldcup. He even gave me a wand a couple of years ago so I could place the Fidelius charm on the tent and a warming charm on the hallway so I know when the Guards are coming".

Narcissa was looking around and just could not believe what Harry had done. She could see everything her sister could need. It was now that she had a good look and saw how Her sister looked healthier than she ever had. She also remembered she had to keep hairs just to turn in to her unhealthy self. "Wait, if a house-elf can pop me in he can pop you out at any time. He could even pop any Death Eaters out".

"Good thing the purebloods are too gullible and to stupid to know that, or they would never stay in," Bellatrix said with a smile.

"Why do you stay".

Bellatrix gave her a smile as she pointed to a chair for Narcissa to sit in. "There is nothing more I want to do, But I just can't. My little me, Daphne and Harry are doing everything to get me back so they can kill the wanker. And I'm too afraid of Minerva when she finds out I did it".

"Tell me about it. Last time she gave that look A stumbled over my words and said Sorry Professor" Narcissa told her little sister. The next thing she saw was Bellatrix rolling over the floor of the tent. "It isn't funny" Narcissa outed.

"Yes it is, Grandmother Mini is just hilarious when she looks at People like that. I even think she could give Voldemort detention if she had to". This time it was Narcissa who was rolling around the floor by the thought of It writing lines.

After a drink and some memories, Bellatrix took the hand of her sister. "Now tell me, sis, why are you here and not with your deadbeat Husband or Harry".

Narcissa started to rub her hands together and as she looked down. Bellatrix smiled and placed her forehead against that of her sister. Narcissa looked down and kept on looking down. After five minutes Bellatrix punched her shoulder. "Why does it only work with Sirius and not whit me," Bellatrix said as she frowned. "Now tell me what is wrong".

Narcissa gave a deep sigh as she again started to look at the floor.

In the morning Harry left the common room and started to make his way to the great hall followed by the rest of the members from House Hogwarts. Most of them looked like the walking dead as they stumbled behind him, they were all too tired to stay on their feet but they knew they had to. When they got to the doors of the great hall Harry stopped. He turned around and gazed at every one of them. "As I said last night. Thank you all for coming whit us. The downside of it is the night and the morning after it. Still, we have to do like nothing happened and that will be helped by the coffee we will drink in a minute. So again thank you all and just do like nothing happened". They all gave him a nod and walked after him and into the great hall.

Everyone looked up as the students started to walk to the table. Some at the head table had never seen the unity they formed as they walked like that. But Minerva and Zanita could see the fatigue they all had and also knew why they had it. "I hope the Coffee in their Goblets will help them," Zanita said to Minerva.

"I'm sure it will. The kids never have it so they will be bouncing off the walls for a couple of hours. After it, they will be ib their Common room and be knocked out as the get down from their coffee rush". Sure enough, after a couple of sips, the kids started to look better and more alert as they started to look around. It was now that Minerva looked to her side and saw the pink toad looking at her Harry glaring Daggers at him. "I wish I could be a fly on the wall when she is teaching House Hogwarts," she told Zanita.

"Well, I think I could arrange something for it. But we have to look at it in a pensive".

Minerva just smiled and nodded for Zanita to do it.

#*

Bellatrix hugged her sister as she said goodbye. Her advice had been sound but her sister was still doubting everything she had said. But then again she would have been really surprised if she had taken it and just excepted it while she said it. As she watched Snot pop her sister away she went to the living room of the tent and plopped down in the chair.

Slowly she started to think about the time that was to come. Daphne and Bella had told her that one of these nights Voldemort would break her and all the others out. Then she would be placed in a warehouse where they were allowed to get back to health. They have told her she would get a room that was the same as this tent. Separated from the others and under a Fidelius charm that only she would know about. In that way, she could be with them whenever she wanted to. She placed her hand above her heads and her legs out in front of her as she started out giving a sigh of pleasure and longing as she thought about her little Harry doing wicked things with her.

The coffee did the trick as the House of Hogwarts got up to their feet and started to make their way to their first class that was with the toad. They didn't enter and only stayed outside in front of the door. Somehow they knew this would not be a fun lesson but then again nobody said they would be the fun students.

While they were standing there they heard something and it only was a second later that the house of Griffindor stepped around the corner. Ronald Weasley was walking in front of them all. "Potter" He screamed. "My mom wants her daughter back". Harry wanted to say something but Bella kept him from it. Harry just looked at her and then at the spot she was pointing at. Harry gave a sharp nod as he saw Umbridge standing in the doorway.

"Don't worry Mr, Weasley. We at the ministry are working on it. We know that thee is no way he could have done the thing he said he had done" She told Ronald while she never took her eyes from Harry. It took another couple of seconds for her to see that Harry didn't react at her words and she gave the smallest huff before she walked into her classroom telling them all to follow her inside. Mr. Potter, please take the seat behind my desk, you to Miss Greengrass".

Daphne looked at Harry and shrugged her shoulders. She knew that she too would be in for some of what the bitch wanted to throw at Harry. Slowly she took his hand and looked at him over her shoulder. Harry just gave her that smiled that said, let's have some fun.

Umbridge waited and gazed through the classroom. She looked on while every student was looking back at her. She knew she was way out of her comfort zone by being here but someone had to do it. In her mind, she could not see Fudge doing it himself. Then again if he knew what she wanted to do to these kids he might not approve. Then again what you don't know you can not tell. "Why is none of you getting out their textbooks".

She had hoped that Harry or Daphne would say something but she was surprised that it was the Bitch that had dared to go against her at the Witenagemot. "Miss Davis, what is your question".

Tracy had raised her finger and was staring right back at her. She remembered the threat she got on that Witangemot day and she was ready for a fight. "Miss Umbridge, It is not that we don't trust you". Stacy stopped for a second while everyone was watching her. "Well, to be honest, we don't trust you at all. But that can't be a surprise to you".

"HEM, HEM".

Stacy stopped as Umbridge hem hem't at her. She knew that she had hit a nerve but not which one. After a couple of seconds, Umbridge didn't say another thing so she went on. "Now what I wanted to say is we all know you can't teach us the difference between a dragon and Hippogriff dung. So what is it you are going to do here".

Umbridge looked at her and didn't know what to tell them. She didn't really want to teach any of them. She just got a book that she wanted them to read and that was it. She could stand her own in a duel but that was about all she could. Her best work was stabbing people in the back while she climbed the ladder. The only step left was the seat of the minister himself. "I'm here to teach you Defence Against the Dark Arts".

"And how are you going to do that. Stand up, look up and look us in the eyes, while you do as if you are all that".

Umbridge snapped her head to the other side. Davis had been the one that she had been speaking to but this was another voice. As she looked at the other side she saw red hair and a smile. She gave a sigh as she saw Susan smiling back at her. Sure where there was one pest there will always be another one not far behind and yes, it was the one she also hated.

"Why are you arguing with the Professor. Headmaster Albus knows what he is doing" Ronald Weasley said.

"Sure he does" Susan sneered at Ronald. "We have seen how good he is in picking Professors. First, we had a stuttering Imbecile, who was carrying Voldemort in the back of his head".

"Stop, it" Umbridge screamed. "He is not back".

"No, he didn't come back because Harry stopped him. There, however, was no ministry who wanted to help him. Just like now they are screaming, huffing and Puffing that he isn't back".

"He is not back" Umbridge screamed again.

"I believe you," Susan said making Umbridge gape at her like a fish.

"Albus is the one who is saying it, but then again he knows what he is doing because he is Albus Dumbledork," Tracy said.

Umbridge snapped her head back and immediately started to scream. "No, Potter is saying it".

"There we go again if we don't have the answer we say Potter is doing it or saying it" Susan said again.

"But he did he said it after the tri wizard tournament" Umbridge started foaming at the mouth while she was pointing at Harry.

"Yes he said it after the last task, and after it, he started to rethink his words and didn't know if he had seen it correctly. And like Amelia always said. By doubt, don't say it because it could be wrong" Tracy said the name of Amelia, and immediately saw the eye of Umbridge starting to twits. If there was anyone the toad hated more then Harry It would be Amelia. But none hated Umbridge more than Susan and her.

It was now that Umbridge started to sweat a little bit, as she gazed for a second time at the students that were in front of her. The only one that had helped her, How pathetic it was, was none other than the blood traitor called Weasly. Then again it was also the only Weasle that was hanging around the son of Lucius. Maybe there was a little hope for the boy but now he was of no help. She might have to start to train them in her own way. For now, however, she had to give an answer or the two girls will get her out of here before she could start her first lesson. "You all have a book and you will all start to read the first chapter. You will do it in silents and after the lesson, you can ask a question if you do not understand anything".

"That is it, read a chapter ask a question, nothing more," Susan asked as she looked at the book.

Umbridge wanted to react but it was Stacy that spoke first. "Realy a starting guide for the Defence against the Dark Arts. Are you really going to teach us about magic from this book? Are you a squib or something".

"It would explain why she is so respectless. she is still sitting down behind her desk, doesn't even have the manners to stand up" Susan said whit a smile. She had used the line before but it always rattled her up.

"You bitch I'm standing".

"Really, I would not have believed it, if she didn't say it," Tracy said as she looked to the side trying to look behind the desk of Umbridge to see if she was really standing.

"Stop it or you are all in detention" Umbridge screamed.

It was later that week while Bellatrix was sitting in her tent in the corner of her cell when her ward was activated. She knew that someone was at the start of the ward so she had to get out just to see if they came for her. When she got to her bars she started to laugh like a madwoman. She calmed down after two minutes as her eyes became big and looked at the guy that was now standing in front of her cell. Her finger went to her bottom lip as she gazed a little closer and made her eyes a little bigger. "Look at what the cat dragged in. I hope that you are still treating my sister for the woman she is or I will have to do something about it".

"Bella".

"Ah, Ah, Ah. Never speak to me with that tone of yours. I might be locked up but I will get out. You see we the inner circle will be welcomed back with open arms. Yes, Lucius, I know that our Lord is back I too have seen the mark. I have also felt it burn when he called you to his side. Now it won't take long before he will get us out of here and then we will be standing next to him. Where are you standing now because I do not think you are his right hand any more".

"Stop it," Lucius said.

"No, I think not. I do wonder if you still have that gift Our Lord gave you. You know that book when he gave me the cup. I wonder what he would say if you lost it". Lucius turned white by those words. "I still wonder what it was, you know. He only gave me a goblet but it had to be something more, why else would he give me a simple thing like that".

"I said stop it".

"No, I bet you went back on your hands and knees begging for mercy while you were lying through your teeth. You and what is his name the butcher and that Auror who works at the ministry. I even bet you even gave him the Malfoy fortune just to save your own hide".

"Shut up, Shut up, SHUT UP".

"No that is not it. There must be something else. Now if my sister would come and see me, Maybe I could find out what it is and how you are back with him. Where is he anyway? Does he has his own home or does he live with one of you"?

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU MANTEL BITCH".

The eyes of Bellatrix snapped to the eyes of Lucius. Her hand shot through the bars and her claw-like hand grab his robe. She pulled him against the bars with his nose between them. The next thing she did was bring her face to his and placed her teeth on his nose. As she slammed her jaw shut she bit as hard as she could. Lucius screamed out loud and after a minute he was let go and stumbled to the floor. Blood was dripping from her chin as she smiled a sadistic smile at him. Tut, Tut, Tut. Wittle Lucie does not know, he can't call Wittle Bella bad names. If Wittle Lucie is bad to Wittle Bella, Wittle Bella will hurt Wittle Lucie". Slowly Bellatrix licked her fingers clean from the blood she had spilt as she saw Lucius crawling backwards and away from her.

"You, Fucking, Mental, Bitch. I only came here to tell you to prepare because the Dark Lord will break you out shortly. You and the others". After those words, he got up to his feet and rushed out of the ward and straight to the boat to get away".

Bellatrix watched him go and the moment he was out of sight she spet the blood of Lucius on the ground. "Why the fuck did I do that. You never know where that pig keeps his nose or where he puts it in". Bellatrix rushed to the tend and straight to the bathroom. She went to the mirror and held her wand in front of her face. "You stupid woman, you know that this is going to hurt right". Slowly she placed the tip of her wand in her mouth and held it up. She closed her eyes and soundlessly said.

Narcissa walked back into Malfoy manor she was called to appear in front of It. She didn't know why bud she always had to smile when he did. Normally he only had to point at his mark and summon the one he needed. She, however, did not have the mark and he always had to send someone to find her. So the moment she heard he was looking for her through one of her listening charms she got out of the manor and back to the hotel where Lucius was still paying for. Now, however, she thought he had waited long enough and made her way into the manor.

"Mum, our Lord has been waiting for you. why do you wait so long before you appear in his person? Don't you know it is rude to let him wait?" Draco told her as he watched her walk in.

"How am I suppose to know" she snapped at her son. Inwardly she had a hard time doing it but her talk with Emma told her she had to.

Flashback to just a day after Harry had held out his hand to Draco.

Narcissa was called by the friends to come to Hogwarts. She didn't know why but she thought it would to see how the Darklord had reacted on their attack. When she got there Harry didn't ask her anything about it but told her he had held out a hand to Draco. This was the story she brought to Emma.

"And Narcissa what else is new" Emma asked.

Narcissa sat down next to her and gave a little sigh. "I don't know. Harry just told me that he had said to Draco that if he wants out he could help him".

"Really and what did he do".

"He said Draco didn't react at all. He did not go against or along with it. Now he did tell me he saw Draco thinking but what does it mean".

Emma smiled. "It means he is starting to form his own mind. he could go for the hand of Harry or slam it out of the way, but he didn't and that means he is thinking".

"Should I tell him to go to Harry or not".

"Don't, whatever you do it will only backfire. How are you reacting to him now".

"I... I.. ignore him for the most part. If not then I just snap at him".

"It is harsh but keep on doing it. You are snappy because he is doing what Lucius is doing. that might be the reason why he is doubting himself and paying a little interest in the offer of Harry".

End Flashback.

"Well, you could get the mark so he can call you at any time," Draco told her.

"And then be a puppet, like you all are. Just come when he calls and say yes dear, alright dear. Whatever you wand dear".

"We are nothing like that" Draco said while his eyes turned a little doubtful.

At first, Narcissa didn't know if Emma was right about the way she had to react to Draco. Now that she did it she could see what Emma meant. It made her smile from the inside. Hermione might be a Ravenclaw by all she knew. But Emma would be a clear Slytherin by the way she played people and what she knew about it. This time she could see how her words affected Draco and how it made him think. "Sure you are right he treats you all as his friends". This time she didn't wait for a response and walked on to the room It had made into his throne-like chamber. As she stepped into the room she knew that It wasn't happy. It wasn't that she cared about it, but it told her that she had to be on guard just in case.

"Ah Narcissa, where have you been," Voldemort asked the moment she walked in.

She could not tell him that she had gone away the moment she knew he was looking for her. So like always she had to lie. Most of the time it was a lie built on the truth just like this one. "I have looked at the building for your followers. It is almost done. One more week and it will be ready". De building the Goblins were remodelling. She head heard from Bogrod that they were almost done and only had a day or two left of work. Now she didn't know what had been done but again Voldemort didn't know that and only knew Narcissa was handling it.

"Good, good so you can take me there in a couple of days and see it for myself".

Shit, shit, shit. were the first words Narcissa thought off. Still, she had to bring him or he would get suspicious and that would be the last thing the friends and family wanted. So she said yes and knew she had to get to one of the Family or to Harry to tell it. Before Voldemort could say another thing Lucius stumbled into the room. his face was covered in blood. So much blood that it was still dripping from between his fingers of the hand he kept on his nose.

Voldemort looked at him and gave a sadistic smile before he asked what happened. The eyes from Lucius went from his wife to Voldemort and back to his wife. To tell the story that Bellatrix had bitten him was something that was hard to do. His ego could not handle it and nighter could the idea of the laughter of his wife. The one thing he forgot all about was that Voldemort could read his mind.

"So Bellatrix told you how stupid you have been and you thought you could insult her. She showed you that she didn't lose her touch and would do anything to get back at you. It will be nice to have her on my side again".

Narcissa looked between the two of them. She could not keep the words from coming out of her mouth the moment she heard It say it. "Are you sure you want Bellatrix next to you now that you have that little bitch of Parkinson doing all the things you want her to do".

The eyes of Voldemort closed a little and gazed at her. "Bellatrix is my servant just like Pancy is, so she will do as I tell her".

"Sure she will. Be sure that she will be much tougher then Harry if she ever turns at you. See what she did to my". And the eyes of Narcissa went over Lucius from top to bottom "Husband". Now she turned back to Voldemort. "Do remember she did this without a wand and only used?" Now she turned to Lucius "How did she do it anyway".

Voldemort started to laugh hard "She bitten his nose off" And Voldemort lost it.

Narcissa didn't know what to thing and stumbles a little for words as she thought about the things she wanted to do. "My Lord I will see you in three days when I take you to the save place for your Death Eaters" and she turned on the spot to right rush out of the room straight to the one place she wanted to be.
