Chapter 6

Bellatrix Is Coming

Low murmuring could be heard in the mansion of the Malfoys drawing room as the Death Eater's muttered to each other over the table about their horrible day. All this was put to a swift halt as a dark robed, pale figure swept into the room. The dozen Death Eaters seated around the large table hurriedly scrambled to their feet in respect for their master. He completely ignored them and sat down with his back turned to them, his splitting red eyes staring into the fire intently.

They all sat down without a word, not daring to glance at one another.

"Severus" Voldermort whispered, his voice ringing in their ears, terrifying them.

Severus Snape a man with greasy black hair and a long hooked nose stood up, his face a pale colour that made him look as though he hadn't eaten in over a month.

"Yes, my Lord" he spoke his voice wavering.

"Is there anymore news on those fools, that align themselves with Dumbledore?" he reached out with his white skeletal hand an started to pet the long, dark green snake that was asleep at his side.

"None this time My Lord, Dumbledore remains secretive to all those surrounding him, not speaking for fear of letting something slip" Snape replied looking strait at the back of the dark chair.

"What of the Potter boy?" he said his eyes blazing as he said his most hated enemies name.

"He remains in Hogwarts as ignorant and fame seeking as ever, My Lord" Snape bowed his head.

"Alright Severus, be seated, we will just have to give those cowards a good jolt, wake them up" Snape sat down conscience of all the Death Eaters eyes on him, he glared at them all making them turn their attention back to Voldermort.

"My Lord" said another Death Eater by the name of Dolohav, he was big and muscle's with stunning blond hair that matched Draco Malfoys, he stood up pushing his chair aside with a dull scrape and was silent again, waiting to be addressed.

"What is it Dolohav?" Voldermort said after a few seconds.

"My Lord, I heard form Lucius, that the Ministry are siding against Dumbledore, thinking of your return is absolute nonsense in their opinion, and Lucius said that Fudge is looking for an arrest on Dumbledore because he's getting fed up of all the rubbish he's spreading of your return" Dolohav said cowering as his master swirled round in his chair.

"Where is Lucius?" he asked a defiant look spread out across his snake like face as he glanced around at them all, not spotting the long mane of blond hair that belonged to Malfoy. They all shivered as he glowered down at them all, his face resembled the face of a 6 month dead snake that it wasn't believable.

"Uh..my Lord..You see, he went to help Bellatrix on spying on those mutant muggle borns you ordered exterminated" Dolohav answered looking anywhere but at his masters face.

"And have they exterminated them yet?"

"They are on the job now and as soon as they return we shall-"

But he never got to finish his sentence for at that moment two figures kicked the doors to the drawing room open and hurried in a satisfied look on heir twisted faces.

"Speak of the devil" muttered Voldermort under his breath sitting back into the cushion of his chair.

"My Lord, it has been done" stuttered Lucius out of breath, his white knuckled hand still clutching his wand.

"Dead all of em, not a single piece of evidence" smirked Bellatrix looking Voldermort straight in the eye. The others glanced at her with admiration, how she could do that unnerved was a wonder, maybe she didn't have any feelings left at all to feel fear.

"Good, they deserved what they got, filth" called out one of the Death Eaters, and a chorus of phrases rang out as the other members cheered.

"That's well" Voldermort hissed, and immanently all the noise stopped as the Death Eaters took their seats again this time followed by Lucius and Bellatrix. They sat quietly waiting for him to continue.

"But now I have another task for you all" he stood up and started to pace back and forth in front of the fire, "well, not all of you, typically only the ones who a relation to this person." They all looked confused at what he was saying, but remained silent.

"The task invol-"

At that moment two more figures appeared at the entrance of the drawing room. Both had pale skin and blonde hair that shone against the green Hogwarts robes the teenaged boy wore.

"Narcissa, you're late!" Voldermort hissed.

"Sorry, My Lord but we got held up by Dumbledore at Hogwarts" said the black robed witch pulling her son with her as she sat down next to her husband. Her son Draco Malfoy only nodded.

"What for?" asked Bellatrix looking at her sister without expression.

"About basic school stuff, grades and other matters" she replied gazing back in the same manner.

"Anyway like I was saying, we need to get"

All of a sudden a large bang erupted from down the hall making everybody jump and a moment later Peter Pettegriew stumbled in and everybody gasped. His skin and cloths were burnt and his eyes were as large as plates. His wand was burnt in some places and his hair (or what was left of it) was sticking up all over the place as black as the night. He wheezed and a puff of smoke erupted out of him mouth making him splutter and choke.

"That potion for sore joins, supposed to refresh you, didn't turn out right did it" he muttered as best he could. And he fell to the floor knocked out by the fall.

Voldermort rolled his eyes as an eruption of laughter echoed around the room. It quickly died down and Voldermort resumed his talk like nothing happened.

"As I was saying, we need to shock them, right now Dumbledore and his little army thing are lying back planning, keeping quiet. What we need to do is give them a wake up call, start them panicking and propelling into action. And I was thinking…." He swooped to stand behind Bellatrix's chair, "that half-blood niece of yours Bellatrix and Narcissia?"

Bellatrix'es face hardened, and Narcissia's face lost all of its blood, her face full of panic, she glanced repeatedly at Bellatrix avoiding the gaze of her son and husband.

"She is no niece of ours my lord. We Narcissia, Lucius, Lestraige and myself have had nothing to do with her and have never seen nor spoken to her since she was born" Bellatrix replied coldly "her no good mother can rot in hell after what she did to Narcissia and me, if I ever saw that Half-Blood shame; all I would want to see her for, is to kill her myself, and cause her mother pain like she caused me and Narcissia pain the day she betrayed us" she was fuming in outrage but was soon listening to her master intently again.

"And Bellatrix you will get that opportunity soon" he swooped back over to his chair, leaving a hopeful Bellatrix sitting there paying full attention.

He looked around at them all, "You see a more, successful" he inclined his head in the direction of Snape, who hung his head "spy of ours, gave up the information containing a certain location uh…Nym- nymha-blast that name, how do you even say it!!!???" he looked around furiously at them all.

"You see my lord our sister" Bellatrix glanced at Narcissia "had a very active imagination, and decided to call that bundle of shame by the name of Nymphadora, foolish" she shook her head.

"Whatever her name is, is patrolling the Hogwarts station with her little werewolf friend Remus Lupin on Dumbledore's orders, she is probably there right now, what I need you to do Bellatrix, Narcissia, Lucius" he inclined his head to each one of them and one by one they stood up "is this."
