I don't own Ranma 1/2, KHR, HP, Sherlock, or any Marvel Characters!

Quick Note: It's a bit warmer today than it has been in a while, but still in the cruddy negatives. I didn't write yesterday, due to a migraine. I'm 98% sure it was due to the cold temp and windchill. I had to combine Dr. Pepper & an Advil Cold & Sinus to get rid of it completely. I haven't had caffeine in two weeks, so I know for a fact that it's not caffeine withdrawal. Still have a bit of a headache today, but it's more under control.

foxchick1: Thanks! Glad you're still enjoying it.

Shinigami: He did. Don't get me wrong, as I am not a Snape fan, but I do think that if Dumbledore had better managed the school and didn't focus so much on his schemes... Well, you see it all leads back to Dumbles. He could have made sure that Sybill wasn't overheard by having it in a more private meeting space or privacy charms. He could have stopped Snape's bullies as a kid. He could have stopped the segregation of Slytherin House. He could have stopped Snape's bullying of the students. Stopped Harry's Aunt from abusing Harry. Gotten Sirius out of jail. Stopped Snape's dad from abusing him... It's a never-ending cycle. Double Agents usually choose their masters, and in this case, his is Dumbles, for now. Nana may be able to get him to see reason to become a triple agent, but we'll see. I agree that he shouldn't be a teacher, but once again this is Dumbles doing. Dumbles will get what's coming to him.

FANactic Writer: Yep, Nana has set her sights on taking down Dumbles. It's only a matter of time.

Freedom

While Snape was dealing with his shock in the Chamber of Secrets... Andromeda, Narcissa, Nymphadora Tonks, Shamal, and Fon made a trip to Azkaban. It wasn't a pleasant trip, but since Amelia had sent along a trusted secondary Auror, Josiah Warren, they made it through with little fan-fare.

"Are you sure that we should be doing this?" Narcissa questioned Andromeda nervously.

"It can't hurt to try," Andromeda stated calmly. "Just don't expect anything to change. She may be too far gone."

"Exactly what are we doing here, again, Auror Tonks?" Josiah Warren winced as they passed an area where a trio of Dementors were hovering.

"Seriously?" Auror Tonks snorted, "Expecto Patronum!"

The Dementors scrambled to get away from their little boat, and they continued on their uneventful way to Azkaban and Bellatrix's cell.

"I'm not surprised Sirius didn't want to return here. It's also a security tactic, in case the Ministry tries to pull something on House Black," Andromeda rolled her eyes.

"Exactly why was I to bring so much chocolate?" Fon asked as he handed everyone present a bar of chocolate, pretending he didn't see two extra bars of chocolate disappear from his satchel.

"The chocolate helps battle off the feeding of the Dementors," Narcissa informed Fon.

"I see. So, they feed on what, exactly?" Shamal questioned.

"Happy thoughts and memories," Josiah informed them. "Oh, and if they get close enough, they can devour your soul."

"So, the chocolate is used to increase endorphins," Shamal nodded in understanding. "That's rather fascinating. Has anyone ever studied these Dementors properly?"

"No one is foolish enough to try," Andromeda raised an eyebrow at the Doctor, as they unlocked Bellatrix's cell, stunned her, and left Fon outside the cell, along with Auror Tonks.

"Bella?" Narcissa tried to get her sister's attention.

"Bellatrix Black," Andromeda stated the name and showed her the cursed mirror. There wasn't much of a response, from Bellatrix, as she was stunned, but if one was looking, they'd have seen her eyes widen in surprise. "We have come to free you of the Rosier Curse."

Narcissa couldn't wait a second longer, and snatched the mirror from her elder sister's hands, and smashed it on the ground. Then she let out a spell that made Andromeda shocked at her speed, "Reducto!"

"Finite Incantanum," Andromeda cast the spell at Bellatrix, releasing her from the stunning spell.

Bellatrix stayed frozen, and it was only when she started loudly sobbing that they realized that she wasn't under the Stunner anymore, "No. No. No. No."

"Bella?" Narcissa tried to go towards her sister, but Andromeda stopped her.

"Trixy?" Andromeda questioned gently, "Do you remember us?"

The sobbing stopped, and a weak reply of, "Romy?" came from the heap that was once the insane Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Yes, Trixy, it's your Romy. Siri found out about the curse mother put on you with Aunt Walburga. Narcissa broke it for you," Andromeda motioned for Narcissa to keep back, still.

"Cissy? Cissy broke it? Siri found it? Truely?" Bellatrix slightly uncurled from her sobbing mess and her startling grey eyes appear to pop over her knees to see them. "She made me do such terrible things, Romy. Cissy. I tried to stop it, but I could barely do anything..."

"You saved Neville Longbottom, and Kodaichi and Tatewaki Kuno," Narcissa informed her softly.

"Did I save the other kids? I can't remember. Do you know what happened to Reggie's kids, Cissy? Romy? Where's Seiji?" Bellatrix's eyes rolled back into her head as she fainted.

"Regulus didn't have any children," Andromeda turned a stunned look to Narcissa.

Shamal brushed past the witches and quickly scanned her over with his Flames, "She's going to need a lot of time to recover, but her soul is no longer fighting for dominance. We should get her to Healer Tyler as soon as possible."

"And we will, just as soon as we ascertain that she's no longer Bellatrix Lestrange the psychopath who murdered..."

"Young man, we are taking her out of this place, and you and Nymphadora will be keeping a close eye on her," Andromeda ordered the young Auror Warren. "Is that understood?"

"Yes ma'am," Josiah winced at her tone.

"Why didn't she ask about us?" Mukuro and Chrome appeared next to Fon and Auror Tonks.

"You two! What are you doing here?!" Andromeda gaped at the two children before her.

"It was us or Tatewaki and Kodaichi. We're quieter and calmer," Chrome smiled sadly at Andromeda.

"Nana is not going to be pleased that you two snuck out to come with us," Narcissa warned the two teens.

"Shamal knew we were here," Chrome informed Narcissa.

"It's fine, Mrs. Tonks, Ms. Black," Shamal sighed as he lifted up Bellatrix's body. "These two are trained for combat and knew that they had to stay outside the cell. It was a stipulation to their coming for Nana and Tsuyoshi."

"Lovely," Andromeda groaned sarcastically. "Are there any more children hiding from us?"

"Nope, just us," Mukuro snorted at her. "We weren't hiding, per-say, you just aren't that observant. Fon even knew we were here."

"Mukuro. Chrome," Fon warned the two to remain silent, which they both did, reluctantly. "We will find out why she didn't mention you two, later. I promise."
