A/N: My readers make the world go round. I wanted to get this out sooner... Sorry it's REALLY short... But without further delay-

Chapter 7: The Spanish Inquisition

Sitting quite comfortably in a chair Dorcas Meadowes turned to face her once-allies.

"Playing judge, jury and executioner now, Dumbledore." She drawled out. "And to think, I once fancied you to be so much better than that."

"Good afternoon, Dorcas. The years have been quite kind to you dear." Dumbledore spoke with sincerity.

Dorcas rolled her eyes and got up to examine her guests more closely, stopping apprehensively as she reached the vampires. "Interesting company you're keeping, these days. No doubt the influence of young Isabella." She sneered with a look of disgust causing Jasper to hiss.

"Bitch." Bella said.

"Come on, Bell. You knew she was going to be. Wanna play our game."

"Sure." She smiled. "At least we can make this a little more interesting."

Dorcas let out a loud cackle turning to face Dumbledore once more. "And where is my dear Alastor? You haven't hurt him, have you?"

Molly, Remus and Tonks appeared with a POP, almost causing Bella and Harry to fall back.

"Why would we hurt Moody?" Sirius growled. "He's nothing but a victim in your sick little game."

"My game? Is that what he told you? I came here seeking help from someone I once considered a friend and he turnedon me? Are you all blinded by your sentimentality for that old fool or are you just that naive?"

Maggie hissed. "She lies."

"Oh what a tangled web we weave..." Bella sighed.

"Quoting muggle proverbs now, are we sis?" Harry said, mock punching her in the arm.

"And how would you know, young vampire? Have you been hanging out with the Order for long? I could tell you secrets that would make even your skin crawl. They are hardly innocent." Dorcas said flippantly, glaring at Maggie.

The four vampires instinctively leaned into a crouch. Bella saw Jasper smirk. "Certainly the big bad witch isn't afraid of four little old vampires." He laughed at her.

"What is the meaning of this Dumbledore?" Dorcas shouted. "We're on the same side and yet you bring vampires here to what? Frighten me into false confessions?"

Sirius grinned widely at Jasper, his approval apparent as Dumbledore laid a soft hand on his shoulder. "That's enough son," he told Jasper and the vampires straightened themselves. "Am I to understand Dorcas, that you wish us to believe you are innocent?"

"Of course I am innocent! Moody is a lunatic! Perhaps he is working for You-Know-Who."

"Another lie." Maggie proclaimed.

"What are you?" Dorcas grunted at Maggie.

"Ah, what a terrible host I am." Dumbledore said in some grand gesture. "Dorcas, you remember Sirius and Remus from the first Order. And these are our new members Arthur and Molly Weasley, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Tonks." Tonks immediately began protesting, stopping when Dumbledore raised his hand and continued. "Nymphadora Tonks who prefers to go by her surname only.

"I'd also like you to meet Jasper, he's a good friend from the States. And this is Siobahn, Liam and Maggie, a small coven from Ireland. Both Jasper and Maggie are very talented. You see my dear, Jasper can tell how you are feeling and sweet little Maggie can tell us whether or not you are telling the truth."

"She's afraid," said Jasper matter-of-factually. "But she doesn't entirely believe you either."

"She will," sang Tonks, the hate in her voice audible.

"Hate dresses well to please the buyer."

"Calvin Miller, Harry. And she's really not dressed that well."

Bella and Harry just stared, not missing the silent exchange between Sirius and Remus. They had been betrayed once before as well. If looks could kill...

"Why don't we start with what we already know and then you can fill us in on the rest." Kingsley said diplomatically.

Dorcas smirked. "Well in that case, please, let in inquisition begin." She folded herself back into her chair, crossing her legs and sighed, as if this had all been anticipated.

"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Bella thought to Harry, who had to cover his mouth to keep the laughter from escaping.

"Monty Python and perhaps we should refrain from quotes that usually make you laugh so hard you pee you pants."

"That never happened." Bella brooded.

"We have learned that you sought Alastor out sometime before the Dementor attacks in Little Whinging. You met him inside Borgin and Burkes and feed him a story about how you had to fake your own death to avoid Voldemort." Dumbledore gave her a pointed look to which she waved him on.

"I'm sure your little gutter friends will tell you that's true." She spat, earning several growls.

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

"Oscar Wilde, Bella. A challenge please?

"How soon after Alastor invited you into his home did you begin to administer the amorentia?" Remus asked.

Dorcas looked floored. She looked nervously between Dumbledore and Maggie and hung her head. "Almost immediately."

Maggie nodded and Sirius fielded the next question. "When exactly did you betray us, Dorcas? When did you turn your back on everything you said you believed in?"

"The night Dumbledore lied to us. The night he told us that Isabella had been killed." She turned her full stare on Dumbledore. "I was there the night you found her, Albus. I watched from a nearby house as you sifted through the wreckage of the house and lifted the hidden baby out from underneath the rubble."

"I had my reasons for not telling you, Dorcas."

"Oh, you had your reasons," she taunted. "Just as I had mine."

"Did it ever occur to you Dorcas, that Dumbledore was being purposely secretive? Or had you forgotten the betrayal that left the Potter's orphaned in the first place?" Sirius was beyond angry. He began advancing on Dorcas, screaming profanities and threatening curses.

The witch flinched at his words, as if that thought had never occurred to her. Nevertheless, she held her ground.

Sirius' short temper spiked. "Jasper," Bella whispered to low for human ears. "Please help calm him down."

Jasper gave her the tiniest nod and flooded Sirius with waves of peace. His breath came out in pants as he slowed his advance.

Remus guided Sirius into the kitchen, mouthing a hushed "Thank you" to Jasper.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Sirius is correct in his reasoning, Dorcas. I knew the danger to Isabella and Harry should she be discovered alive. The prophecy-"

"Ah,yes" Dorcas interrupted. "The prophecy. 'Neither can live while the other survives.' Blah blah blah Dumbledore. You don't know the half of it." She grinned menacingly.

Dumbledore stood looking uninterested.

"You see things and you say why? But I dream things that never were and I say why not?"

"George Bernard Shaw. What is it with this prophecy, Bells? Why does everyone seem to know but us?"

"I dunno, Harry. Dumbledore promised us answers though."

"Did you know that Sybil gave a second prophecy regarding the Potter twins? Can you even imagine the lengths that the Dark Lord will go through to get his hands on that?"

"Of course I knew, Dorcas. And I'm well aware of what your Dark Lord will do."

Obviously not the reaction she expected, Dorcas pulled her wand from the nearby table. "Well since you seem to know everything Albus, perhaps you wouldn't mind explaining it to some friends of mine."

And then chaos seemed to break out.

It seemed to happen in slow motion, like Bella and Harry were watching some old movie where the bad guy was about to get away. In a flash, they tore the invisibility cloak off of them.

"NOOO!!" Bella screamed out as she ran toward the witch.

"Expelliarmus!" Yelled Harry, as Dorcas' wand shot out of her hand and was quickly snatched up by Jasper.

Bella laid her hand on Dorcas' shoulder, a silent communication taking place for several minutes. Time seemed to freeze as everyone was too shocked to move. She stepped back, weakly, Maggie at her side in an instant and bent down to look in Dorcas' still distant eyes. Bella pulled her wand from her coat and placed it on top of the Dark Mark.

"Bella, what do you think you are doing?" Mrs. Weasley asked, panic evident in every syllable.

Saying the spell silently, she removed her wand from the witch's skin and glanced up at her once again.

"Welcome to life as a double agent, Dorcas Meadowes." Bella said with a smirk.

A/N: Big apologies for such a short chapter, but it's been a crazy night and I wanted to get at least this much up.

The game that Harry and Bella are playing, is a game my family plays. You name a quote and try to guess who said it. It's funniest when you are doing movie quotes and great for long boring car rides when you need something more intellectually stimulating then I Spy or Slug Bug =) Just wait until Emmett decides to start playing it in a couple of chapters.

Good stuff coming up, tons of mischief and I promise a much longer chapter by Thursday.

I love reviews, but would understand if you didn't for this chapter.
