Bellatrix was shocked to see Harry, Hermione, and Ron thrown on the floor when the snatchers walked in, but she forced herself to ignore them and act bored. Bellatrix walked past the trio on the floor, twirling her wand in her hair as she stalked towards the group of snatchers. She made sure that every click of her heels was as loud as possible. Bella giggled with glee when she saw the group move back nervously. She smirked at the group and pointed her wand towards them and cackled when she saw the entire group jump.

"You want your reward?" asked Bella in a false serious tone as she waved her wand carelessly at the group.

"Yes," foolishly growled Greyback, trying to hide his fear.

"How about this for a reward; I let you go unharmed," said Bella with a devilish smirk twirling her wand between her fingers, bored with the conversation, but taking pleasure in the fear radiating off the snatchers.

Two of the snatchers bolted out the door right as Bella finished talking, leaving the door wide open. Bella cackled loudly at the two snatchers sprinting from the Manor.

"Aw look at the poor ikle babies run!" mocked Bella as she watched them run from the Manor.

She continued to watch them silently for a couple seconds, letting the tension in the room build up. Suddenly without warning, Bella swished her wand and slammed the doors shut so that a loud booming echo was heard in the hall. The remaining three snatchers just about jumped out of their own skin when the doors slammed. Bella laughed loudly when the snatchers jumped, Greyback let out a loud growl.

"The posters said there was a reward!" snarled Greyback, stalking closer to Bella, close enough to where Bella could smell the stench of the filthy werewolf. He continued to stalk closer and only stopped when he was a foot away from Bella. Greyback tried to get Bellatrix to cave by getting in her face, trying to scare her into giving into him.

Bella, with a maniacal laugh, shoved her wand into Greyback's stomach,"That was a mistake, Wolfie, and now all of you are going to pay for it!"

Bellatrix cast one of her weaker stunners at Greyback wanting to mess with him a bit. He flew back a couple feet, crumpled on the floor trying to catch his breath. Bella began blasting curses at the other two snatchers, not holding back one bit. One of the snatchers ran for cover behind a pot. The pot was quickly blown to smithereens and the snatcher was hit hard by a powerful stunner, rendering him unconscious. Scabior made a run for the door, but before he even touched the door knob he was thrown backwards and forced by an invisible force to turn around and look at Bella.

"Where do you think you're running off to?" mockingly asked Bella.

Scabior let out a laugh as he stared at something behind Bella. She whirled around, her skirt swishing dramatically, Bella locked eyes with Greyback as he lept at her with his teeth bared and his sharpened nails out. Bella flourished her wand at him and transfigured her wand into a whip. The whip snaked around Greyback's neck and he was thrown to the floor with a devastating thud. The werewolf likely suffered multiple broken bones and he laid on the floor moaning in pain. Bella knew he was no longer going to be a threat and turned back around to look at Scabior.

"Now where were we?" smirked Bella, looking at the immobilized form of Scabior.

She smirked at him before releasing a volley of spells at him. Bella saw the fear in his eyes just before the first spell hit. Scabior fell to the ground once she released her immobilizing spell, he was either dead or unconscious but Bella couldn't care less about him, with one last flourish of her wand sent them out to a random forest. Bella smiled gleefully as she slid her wand back into her holster. Bella was so engrossed in fighting that she had forgotten that her coward of a brother in law was in the room. She turned around to look at the trio only to see her sister and nephew in a corner, wandless, being threatened by Lucius' wand and Lucius' finger hovering above his dark mark, about to call Voldemort.

"Do not call him," growled Bella dangerously, sliding her wand back out of its holster, into her hand.

"Or what? You'll kill me? My wife would never forgive you if you killed me."

Bella smirked thinking of a certain blonde witch that her sister happened to be infatuated with,"Something tells me my dear sister wouldn't mind very much," the blonde wizard had no time to react to the strong stupify that Bella had quickly launched towards him that sent him flying into the wall. A picture frame came crashing to the floor when he hit the wall. Bella only walked over to him to make sure he was unconscious and to grab Narcissa's and Draco's wands before turning to her sister.

"Cissa alter his memories so he won't remember this. We can't risk Lucius blowing our cover and the Dark Lord finding out," said Bella, handing the wands back to their rightful owners, "Draco I need you to get the bruise salve."

"Yes Aunt Bella," said Draco, rushing out of the room to find the salve.

"Bella, what do you want me to alter his memories to?" asked Narcissa.

"I don't know. Just something believable and something that will explain the bruises he no doubt has," Bella could've healed his bruises, but was feeling petty enough to want to see him suffer just a little bit more.

Narcissa nodded in acknowledgement and quickly got to work on his memories. It was only then when Bella finally looked towards the group still sitting on the floor. Bella scanned them over for any injuries that she might've missed, she had already noticed that Harry's face was swollen, and that Hermione's face was slightly bruised from being thrown on the floor. Bella took the salve from Draco's offered hand. She knelt down in front of Hermione and began gently rubbing the bruise slave on her skin. Hermione sighed in relief as the salve began working. Bella hummed in approval as the bruise disappeared from her love's beautiful face.

Bella smiled softly at Hermione, "Long time no see."

Hermione giggled at Bella and launched herself into Bella's arms. Bella instantly wrapped her arms around the smaller witch and let her head rest in the crook of Hermione's neck.

Bella whispered into Hermione's ear quietly, "Oh the things I wish we could do right now."

Hermione blushed before whispering in a joking outraged tone, "Bella!"

Bella cackled before pulling away from Hermione, not wanting anyone in the room getting too suspicious, stood up and moved over to help Harry.

"Come here Potter, let me see that face of yours."

Harry stood up and walked up to Bella, "Hermione hit me with something."

"A stinging hex? Merlin, that was a strong one she used," Bella held up her wand and quickly healed Harry's face. Hermione sheepishly grinned, pulling Harry's glasses out of her pocket and handing them back to their rightful owner.

"Sorry Harry. I didn't mean for the hex to be that strong," apologized Hermione.

Harry laughed, putting the glasses on, "Don't worry about it Mione. It bought us a little time."

Narcissa had finished up with Lucius and staged his body in a believable fashion. She walked over and stood next to Bella with Draco standing right behind his mother. Bella pulled a bundle of wands out from a pocket in her dress and handed the Gryfindors their wands back that she had taken from the snatchers before sending their bodies away.

"How do you know each other?" asked Narcissa, as she took note of the friendly behavior between Harry and Bella, and the very comfortable behavior between Bella and Hermione.

"Er while I was at Hogwarts, Hermione had figured out my identity and helped me get into the Order. Harry and Ron found out about my identity about a year ago," explained Bellatrix.

Narcissa didn't look convinced by that answer, but there were more pressing matters at hand. Bellatrix quickly took charge of the situation, "Right, follow me down to the dungeon."

Bella led the group to the dungeon and quickly walked over to the line of cells. She pulled out her wand, much to the horror of the occupants of the cells, but instead of some form of tourture the occupants had expected, Bella quickly unlocked two cells. She walked into one of the cells and grabbed Olivander by the arm, shouldered most of his weight, and helped him out of the cell. She repeated the same process with Luna and Griphook. Once she had finished her task Bella quietly called for a house elf.

"Reedsy could you please take all these people to Shell Cottage?" asked Bella kneeling in front of the small being. Everyone in the room except Hermione was shocked at the kindness Bella had shown the elf rather than Bella yelling or hitting Reedsy.

"Reedsy can do that, Mistress!" cheerfully responded Reedsy.

The house elf grabbed Luna, Olivander, and Griphook first and Bella knew it would be a couple minutes before Reedsy got back. She walked over to the trio one last time.

"Stay safe and for Merlin's sake don't say his name again, I won't always be able to save you."

Harry grinned sheepishly,"I promise it won't happen again."

"Er, thank you Bellatrix for your help," said Ron.

"Anytime, Weasley. Oh!," exclaimed Bella, "The last horcrux is at Hogwarts."

Harry turned to look at her, "Do you know where it is?"

Bella sadly shook her head, "No I don't, but I know it has something to do with the founders."

Harry nodded his head, "That makes a lot of sense!"

Reedsy popped back into the room next to Harry causing him to jump slightly. "Reedsy can take yous now," said the elf holding his hand out. Harry and Ron grabbed onto the small elf. Hermione couldn't bring herself to leave the manor without saying goodbye to her love. She rushed over to the intimidating witch and threw her arms around her. Bella quickly brough Hermione in tight to her chest and much to her surprise she felt Hermione peck her on the cheek. Bella held her for a couple more seconds, trying to soak in the comfort only her love could bring her, before letting her go and taking a step back.

"I'll see you soon and please stay out of danger," said Bella trying to hold back the tear that threatened to fall.

"I'll try my best," promised Hermione as she walked back to the waiting group.

Hermione gave Bella a bittersweet smile and Bella managed a small sad smile as she watched the trio pop away. She had a sinking feeling in her stomach that the next time she saw them it would be under even worse circumstances.
