Chapter 3: Unbound and United.
Severus stared defiantly as Nott raised his wand, Severus, shot a blasting curse that ripped through the man and forced Dumbledore to shield. Severus darted to the edge of the wards and apparated to Malfoy Manor…
Bellatrix ran outside at the crack of apparition. Immediately she saw; Yaxley had arrived with Lily's wand in hand and her cradling young Harry, keeping him as far from the Death Eater as possible.
Bellatrix called for Narcissa and made a hasty plan, she didn't want Lily or Harry hurt. They both walked down to take Lily from Yaxley.
'The man isn't the smartest but all it takes is one stray killing curse…' Bellatrix thought.
"Where's Lucius!?" Yaxley demanded.
"He's off at Potter cottage, I don't remember you being assigned there." Narcissa sneered at the man. She hated all of her Husband's fellow Death Eaters, she had even hated Bella until about an hour ago, she had just gotten her sister back.
"You don't bear our Lord's mark! Be quiet about any plans your poof of a husband let slip."
"Back off Cissy, can't you see he's brought a present for the Dark Lord?" Bellatrix asked in her sickly baby voice. Bella thought to herself, 'Ugh how did I manage this for all these years it's sickening!' and mentally cringed.
"Yaxley!" she snapped, "Give Cissy the boy! Now!"
Yaxley did as he was told, not wanting the raise the ire of the Dark Lord's highest lieutenant.
"Get the boy inside Cissy the Dark Lord will be most pleased." she ordered.
Lily was sobbing through her silencing charm and struggling to free herself of the bind on her legs and arms.
"Let's take this one to the cellar Yaxley, been awhile since I tortured a Mudblood!" Bella exclaimed and forcibly cackled afterwards. Something Yaxley noticed as Lily was taken by Bella and marched to the cellar of the Manor.
"Listen carefully Lily. The Longbottoms live and their heir is safe, I'm releasing the binds on you and I'll push you down. DON'T get up until you have your wand..." Bella uttered in a deathly whisper.
Lily barely nodded as not to tip off Yaxley. She felt the binds come off and she was walking on her own without being marched.
"Filthy Mudblood!" Bellatrix yelled as she pushed Lily to the ground.
Yaxley laughed, before Bellatrix rounded on him, fire in her violet eyes as she summoned Lily's wand from him and tossed it to the fiery haired witch.
Yaxley gulped, he knew there was something wrong. Bellatrix broke through the added clauses on the marriage contract that he'd suggested. Now he was squaring off with the most feared Death Eater in their ranks and Lily Potter, and both women looked ready to kill.
Lily fired off a chain of piercing and cutting curses before Bella followed up with several Black family curses, nasty looking ones at that.
'Damn! Damn! Damn!' Yaxley thought as he was immediately on the defensive. 'What's this!? I can't apparate out of here!?"
He heard an elegant laugh from the manor steps. Narcissa Malfoy had cut off his only escape, she changed the ward stone to allow apparition into the Manor but not out.
Suddenly Narcissa drew her wand as well, and threw ice magic at the Death Eater.
Yaxley was doomed and he knew it.
The three women overpowered the man within seconds. Yaxley lay dead; impaled by icicles, his arms missing, was still being devoured by Blackfyre, a Black family curse that varied off of Fiendfyre.
Narcissa led Lily inside as she again began weeping.
Bellatrix looked at her own left arm to see the Dark Mark upon it and it filled her rage and grief. She cast Blackfyre upon the mark and shrieked as it burned her flesh. She canceled the spell as a dark mist rose from her arm.
To her shock she no longer felt pain. She looked to see her arm a perfect pale white as her right arm. Not a single blemish. She was redeemed in the eyes of Magic.
She rose to her feet, but was quickly knocked down again as she heard a pop. She grunted and rolled the person who apparated into her onto his back. She gasped, "Severus?"
Severus Snape turned his head and said, "Bella…"
Lily and Narcissa sat watching Harry and Draco sleep in Draco's crib. Lily done crying, her tears turning to a fiery resolve, and she vowed to get her justice. One way or another.
"Dobby watch the boys for us?" Narcissa asked her house elf.
"Dobby be watching little masters, mistress Narcissy! Dobby be watching them like his own little elveses." the little elf said happily. His demeanor changing from scared and quivering to his now bright and jumpy attitude. Lucius Malfoy's bond with the elf had been severed once landing in Azkaban.
She and Narcissa withdrew to the dining room table, as the door burst open. Bella was levitating Severus into the Manor and laid him onto the sofa before rushing to get some potions from the cellar.
Narcissa and Lily rose to check his vitals casting several detection charms. He had several bruised ribs and was magically exhausted he also managed to splinch his arm while apparating.
Bellatrix raced to the sofa with all manner of healing potions and salves following behind her. She began rapidly asking her sister what ailed Severus. Once she was told, she magicked the necessary potions into Severus' stomach, then began to rub the salve onto his ribs.
Severus groaned at the contact and realized where he was.
"D-Du-Dumbledore…" Severus began then winced as the potions began to take effect.
He looked to Bella, "Bella send a patronus to your cousin and get them here, now!"
Without pause, Bellatrix sent her patronus, a serpent, to Sirius Black.
As it left Narcissa changed the wards to add her cousin and her wolf.
'My wolf!?' Narcissa thought. She shook her head and looked at the gold ring that signified her marriage. In disgust she took it off and melted it.
Within two minutes Sirius and Remus apparated outside the manor, and bolted into the large double doors. Sirius raced to Lily as Remus was knocked backwards as Narcissa ran into his embrace.
"Black…" Severus began as Bellatrix, Narcissa, and Sirius looked at him. Severus groaned. "Sirius Black." he amended.
"What happened to you Snape?" Sirius asked.
"Dumbledore!" Severus spat the name in hatred.
Severus went into detail on what happened at Hogwarts as well as suffered their berating for summoning Death Eaters to a school full of children. The unknown fate of their ally Kingsley Shacklebolt caused worry into who to trust. No one from the Order of the Phoenix, the Longbottoms were driven to the brink of insanity according to Bellatrix.
Severus pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
"There are those in the Potter Family Alliance that owe loyalty to their fellow Houses. Longbottoms were one of them." Lily began. Speaking up finally. No trace of sorrow just determination.
"The Families on the charter include Longbottom, Bones, Greengrass, Abbot, and Davis. Two out of those families are Grey." Sirius said. "And of course with Regulus with us the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Black will back you."
"Regulus is Alive!?" Narcissa screeched. "Lucius said he'd gone missing and was assumed dead."
"He is very much alive. And if you could add him to the wards I'm certain he will tell you himself."
As if on cue, Regulus Black emerged through the fireplace via Floo powder.
"And I thought you Marauders had left me in that decrepit townhouse…" that was as far as Regulus got before Narcissa and Bellatrix hugged their cousin.
"Nice to see you too girls…" he breathed. "Now, onto business."
Regulus pulled out several sealed scrolls from his robes and sat on the dining table. Summoning a quill and inkwell he began to unseal the scrolls.
"What are you up to Lord Black?" Sirius asked.
"Reinstating the family, big brother. Andromeda Tonks, Daughter of the House of Black is hereby reinstated to the family by will of Lord Regulus Arcturus Black in the sight of the Gods and Magic so mote it be. Narcissa Malfoy Daughter of the House of Black your marriage contract to Lucius Malfoy, I find in breach of contract as he has been sentenced to Azkaban, the contract I declare as Head of House Black, null and void the dowry paid to Malfoy will be returned to Black vaults and your marriage annulled you will now be able to marry whomever you wish. So let it be written so let it be!"
As Regulus was speaking Narcissa pounced on Remus kissing him deeply whispering. "I'd better see you on one knee before Draco starts speaking…"
Remus went scarlet much to Sirius's amusement.
Regulus continued writing and speaking to the magic of the House. "Bellatrix Black, I find the marriage contract between yourself and Rodolphus Lestrange to be invalid and the man unable to consummate a marriage. I deem it null and void in the sight of Men and Magic so mote it be. You will be free to marry as your heart desires. By the same trait, I hereby declare Blood Feud on the Elder House of Lestrange for the insult and assault to the Most Noble and Most Ancient house of Black!"
Bellatrix was shocked that Regulus would not only free her but declare Blood Feud on account of not what had, but what could have been done to her.
"As my final order as Lord and Head of House Black, I Regulus Arcturus Black hereby reinstate Sirius Orion Black, rightful Heir and Scion of the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and relinquish Lordship and Head of House Leadership to him. So I have said, in the sight of Family and Magic so must it be!"
Sirius fell to his knees in tears.
Lily knew what all of this had meant, and she knew with all the support that Regulus had just opened. She could take on Dumbledore on the Political Field and take what he loved most.
His control...
