Chapter 14

A/N I don't own anything you recognize. Thanks for reading. Special thanks to Artorious and Megwar for following.

As the others and I followed the weirdest person I had ever met up towards the castle, I couldn't help but think about how our lives had changed. Up until recently, my whole world was consumed by fighting a mad man who was insane yes but whose goals were simple and defined. He just wanted to kill everyone I knew and cared for. It was a long and arduous task but one we had least had an idea about how to stop.

Now though, I was more lost than I had been since I entered the magical world. I knew that we were dealing with at least one mad and sadistic women with magic at her fingertips. Not only her, but if the strange alien who showed up to inform us of the problem was correct, then we had another crazy women to deal with as well. This one unknown to us, and so we had to rely on a newcomer to inform us of her. This did not sit well with me. Trust was hard to come by during the wizarding war and I did not want to start now. I believe I had to though.

We made our way into the hospital wing, and I watched as the school nurse lowered her new patient on to a free bed. I had to except the facts that were in front of me though. I knew as well as anyone what cruciatus exposure looked like, and the man in front of me clearly was suffering from it. He was pale and trembling even as he slumbered. The fitful tossing only subsiding as Madam Pomphrey advinistered the first dose of what I recognized as the first dose of cure.

Whether the man in the blue box was to be believed or not, we had someone using an unforgivable. Could be the women the Doctor described and Bellatrix, or maybe not. The fact remained that Bellatrix was not at the final battle. She still roamed and if there was any chance of bringing in to justice, then we needed to take it. 'What were we to do now?' I realized I asked this allowed as the others turned to look at me. "Well, come on. We need a plan and fast."

That was to close. I could feel the bonds to my past become shaky. I knew that had we not been able to rescue me when we did that I would have gone insane and the world well no telling what would have happened. Thankfully, my grip on reality was returning. I felt less shaky as time went on.

I watched as the younger me was lowered onto the bed and what I knew to be a potion administered. Yes, I felt better already. I paced a bit. I needed to do something. There was two mad women loose in the world. They would have to be stopped.

I looked up as Hermione said what was on mine and everyone else's minds. We needed a plan now.

"Quite right Hermione. Missy and Bellatrix need to be stopped immediately. They cannot continue to torture and ruin lives. Not only mine could have been ruined with this little stunt but others could have been as well. They need to be brought to a halt. We need to face them and stop them in their tracks. I assume that I was found at Malfoy manor?" Here I stopped my pacing and turned to Harry. He called for the house elf once again.

"Kreature where did you find him?" he asked pointing to my younger self.

"Kreature found him just outside the Malfoy's property as Master suggested he would be."

"Alright. Thank you Kreacher." He said dismissing him.

"So now we know where my younger self was kept. We know where Missy and Bellatrix are. How do we stop them." I resumed my pacing. " We need to draw them out somehow. We can't risk facing them on unfamiliar ground where they would have all the advantages. How to draw them out though?"

My pacing was interupted by Ron calling from where he was looking out the window. "Ah, Doctor, I don't think that is going to be a problem." He pointed outside as I came to look.

There was Bellatrix Lestrange stalking across the grounds as people fled from her. I opened up the window slightly and heard, "Itty bitty Potter! Where are you? Where did you put my toy Potter? You were naughty." She cackled. I heard the doors opening and turned to see Harry rush out with an exasperated Hermione and Ron following. Deciding quickly, I ran out after them.

A/N This is unbataed. Thanks for reading
