Disclaimer! I still don't and will very likely never own Harry Potter. Until a miracle happens Harry Potter is the property of J.K. Rowling, and I am not getting my hopes up either so this fanfiction will have to do. x)

Chapter 2 Soul Mates

Narcissa returned to the ritual chamber to find her Revenants awaiting orders. They were still undressed so she conjured some modern muggle clothing, and instructed them to dress themselves. Harry now wore a pair of black cargo jeans, Black leather boots and a matching leather vest. He didn't bother with glasses he didn't need them. Bellatrix wore a pair of dark blue skin tight low cut jeans a pair of blood red converse and a black short sleeve stretch sweater that left her lower stomach visible.

Narcissa may not have cared much for muggles taste in clothing but she had to admit they allowed much greater mobility than typical wizard robes. Narcissa had also placed powerful and permanent enchantments on their clothing to increase their protection from spell damage.

Satisfied that her Revenants were properly attired she decided to get a full trial done to determine the extent of their powers. Under Narcissa's instruction, Bellatrix and Harry first engaged a dozen conjured training dummies designed to simulate a live spell fight. Bone Breaker Curses, Blood Corrupting Curses, Organ Shredding Hexes, Flesh Rotting Curses, sprays of lethal acid and conjured footlong steel spikes were rapidly thrown at the dummy death eaters by the undead pair within mere minutes a dozen dummies were completely destroyed.

Moving out of the ritual chamber, Narcissa set up a larger training area on the back lawn of Ravenhollow. Setting no less than 30 training dummies up and returning fire at Bellatrix and Harry. Bolts of lightning, gouts of cursed fire and deadly beams of highly pressurized air were launched into the dummies as the undead couple caused devastating damage with every attack. Narcissa noted that Harry and Bellatrix could fight wandless channeling magic through each of their hands.

As the dummies became more aggressive the Revenants used more and more of their unnatural powers. They didn't bother shielding or dodging incoming spells simply transforming their bodies into a black smoke like form the spells harmlessly passing through them. The training dummies made a final stand hurling the killing curse at the undead couple, but as they had no souls Harry and Bellatrix were rendered completely immune to the killing curse. Narcissa suspected they would likely be immune to the imperious curse as well.

Narcissa was pleased to see that Bellatrix and Harry seemed to have retained some measure of free will as well as their intelligence and emotions. As she observed the battle she thought back to when Bellatrix first told her that Harry had proposed on his seventeenth birthday.

~~ July 31st 1997 ~~

Bellatrix could hardly contain her excitement as she ran up to her sister on the front porch of Malfoy Manor, "Cissy!" she yelled. "Harry proposed to me this morning! We're going to be married on August 30th. This is the happiest day of my life!"

Narcissa rushed to hug her sister and threw her arms around her "I'm so happy for you, for both of you!" the Malfoy matriarch cried.

"We'll have to keep this a secret from the public. The Dark Lord would be most displeased if he finds out." Narcissa shuddered at the thought and was internally thankful that they had powerful privacy wards all around the Manor grounds. The sisters then entered the Manor and walked into the large open sitting room together.

Bellatrix grinned as she returned her sisters embrace "Harry has been saying he's grown tired of all the shit the old man and his meddlesome bird club are pulling. He wants me to take him for an audience with the Dark Lord, he's hoping the Dark Lord will grant him a place among our ranks."

Narcissa thought on this a moment, "It would be a good thing if this happened, then you wouldn't need to keep your relationship secret."

Bellatrix had a wistful look on her face before it was replaced with a scowl. "Harry blamed Dumbledore for Sirius' death last summer. Now one of his friends, a boy of the Weasley family was killed on a mission in Spain last weekend."

Narcissa sighed sadly, "I don't like that we have to keep doing this. I wish we'd never pledged our family to the Dark Lords service."

Bellatrix grimaced before speaking in a grave tone, "Like the Greengrass family we had no choice. It's been nearly twenty years since the Dark Lord approached our father with that damned offer of his. You know we work for the betterment of our kind."

Narcissa looked down to the base of the large fireplace in resignation "I know we do, I just wish we weren't directly involved. Hopefully the audience with the Dark Lord goes well for Harry."

~~ Present Day ~~

Of course looking back on that day now, it was easy to see that it wouldn't go well and indeed it hadn't. Narcissa had wished that she'd had the foresight to realize it was folly. But it didn't matter, the horrors of yesterday's events would soon be irrelevant. Finishing the training exercise for the night, Narcissa instructed the Revenants to rest for the remainder of the night. Though in the near future they would hardly ever require rest she knew they needed it after their first night back among the living

Narcissa sat alone in Ravenhollow's small dining hall and raised a glass of wine as she muttered "To Harry and Bellatrix Potter, may you have many nights full of fun, revenge, and murder." Narcissa was struggling to keep her eyes open grabbing her wand off the dining room table she muttered "Tempus" and was slightly shocked to see it was nearly 4 am. Narcissa stumbled off to the room she'd set up for herself muttering darkly about revenge. Not only had Voldemort killed her sister and soon to be brother in law but he had sent Draco and Lucius to their deaths and she had only found out about it three days prior.

As she stripped out of her clothes and settled into her bed (Narcissa had taken to sleeping naked after her late husband and son had been sent on that suicide mission in early August.) Her last thoughts before she finally drifted off to sleep were that revenge was at long last within her reach. Harry and Bellatrix had exceeded her hopes as they displayed the full might of their demon like abilities. Nobody would stand in her way, lest they joined the ranks of her enemies in death. Lady Malfoy may be in her late thirties but she was quite a beautiful witch, that beauty hid a dangerous and wrathful side behind it and soon the Wizarding world face that dark side in its terrible glory.

~ Harry and Bella's room, Ravenhollow Manor~

Harry and Bellatrix were quite eager to carry out their mistress' desires of inflicting hellish retribution upon Voldemorts ranks. Though at the moment they were exhausted, after undressing the pair slipped into bed together. Bellatrix was already asleep, her bare breasts pressing lightly into Harry's hard muscled chest as she lay with her head on his shoulder. He had his arms wrapped protectively around her as he slowly drifted off to sleep his last bitter thoughts were directed to Dumbledore. The words "You left me to die..." played over again and again in his head as he finally fell asleep.

Harry took comfort in knowing, that as painful as this second chance at life was it was worth the endless torment for the chance to right the wrongs done to him. Harry would be damned if he and Bellatrix were sent back to Hell without taking Voldemort and maybe even Dumbledore with them. As long as he had Bellatrix, his soul mate, he could handle the torment. If he was honest with himself sometimes he felt like he loved the pain.

(Note) I wasn't expecting to get many favorites and followers on this story this fast but I've noticed it's generating some interest so I decided to go ahead and write this second chapter. That being said Black Hearts will update more slowly than Serpent King which is my primary focus right now. I will also try getting another chapter out for Dead Echos soon. Stay Tuned for more.

(Note 2) I am toying with the idea of having a second pairing and am open to suggestions as to who to pair Narcissa with. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter or thinks I should leave it at just the one pairing (Harry / Bella) Leave it in a review.
