Chapter 7

She walked down the hall her heals clicking against the floor alerting the people that she was there. She smirked at the men who dared to give her lustful looks. Her eyes filled with glee as she saw a man leaning out of his office trying to see her. Her dainty hand rose and she tossed her long dark curly hair over her shoulder exposing her frail and delicate neck.

Bellatrix loved the attention. But she was here for a reason it was time for her to collect a small bundle of joy. After all her Lord was being careless she needed him to understand that and what better way then to get hold of the object of his obsession. Bella paused tilting her head and placing a finger to her lips in wonder.

"Excuse me miss but can I help you?" she turned looking over the boy in front of her he was young with a faint blush forming on his cheeks. She smiled at him and moved closer.

"Ah yes you see I'm here to see my cousin would you happen to know a Sirius Black by any chance?" she slid her hand up and down his arm as she leaned in close making him shiver.

"I know Sirius, I can show you to him if you like?" Licking her lips she pressed her body to his arm and smirked eerily.

"I would love that." He didn't hear the sarcasm behind her words and gladly turned the other way leading her to where she wanted to go.

~O~

One whole day after the Moody incident and Harry had stopped talking, eating, and even sleeping. The child just sat there, eyes big and watery traumatized from what he had seen. Sirius didn't know what to do he was worried and Remus was at a loss too. They didn't even know what happened to Moody after Sirius had been ripped away from the other man. They had only seen that his desk was empty and no one had a clue.

Remus sat down a juice box in hand he placed it in front of Harry who flinched in his seat. Sirius let out a long drawn out sigh then went over to Harry and knelt down so he could look into large green eyes.

"Harry?" all that answered him was a whimper. "I need you to drink the juice, it's not good that you haven't eaten anything, I promise that he will not be getting anywhere near you." He went to reach out but stopped when he saw that Harry was shaking his hand dropped to his side and he looked over to Remus who only frowned.

"Tom." The voice was quite they had almost not heard it their head snapped to Harry seeing the tears build up. "Why did you take me away from him?" Harry let out a sob his hands rising and wiping at his eye trying to stop crying it was all to much for him he wanted Tom, he didn't need anyone else.

"Harry, Tom is a bad person."

"What do you know about bad people!" Harry screamed surprising Sirius and Remus they watched with wide eyes as Harry glared at them before promptly bursting out into tears again. "You don't know, you don't know I want Tom." Harry shook his head trying to stop crying but his sobs became worse his breathing coming out in choked gasps. Sirius reached out placing his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"It's alright Harry." It was good Harry was talking it was only heart breaking that he was a sobbing mess and demanding for a killer to take him away. Harry let out a shaky breath it was doing no good to cry green eyes sharpened and Harry forced him self to stop he held back his sobs. He then raised his hand and pushed Sirius's hand away looking up into cloudy eyes.

"I don't trust you. Keeping me here makes you the bad guys." The words echoed in the room Remus hung his head in shame and Sirius gaped in horror.

"We're trying to help you."

"I didn't need your help!" everything became quite both adults stared at Harry not sure what to say or do. Sirius's raised his hand wanting to hold Harry try and make the child see all he wanted to do was protect him just as he was about to place his hand on Harry's shoulder there was knock on the door startling them all. Sirius hesitated to stand then went to the door opening it to a very familiar face. Green eyes went impossibly wide and Harry nearly jumped out of his seat it was the woman! The scary one he had met with Tom before he was taken away.

"Bellatrix what are you doing here?"

~O~

He couldn't believe it. Moody had known what he did was for the good. He had needed to get Harry to speak no matter what. And what did he get for his hard work suspension, demotion and worst of all he was now being forced to move departments. His superiors had suggested for him to retire and then seek help if he thought showing a child the age of ten horrendous photos of murdered people was a good idea.

Raising his glass full of scotch Moody downed it in one gulp then motioned for the bar keep to keep it coming. The man frowned but filled the glass back up it wasn't his problem if the man was drowning in his sorrows so early in the morning.

"Fucking kid, I'll show them." He swigged the drink eyes narrowed and slammed the glass to the counter demanding a refill. "They'll be sorry."

~o~

Tom sat in a seat his legs crossed one over the other and his hands holding onto the arms of the chair. His foot bobbed up and down as he watched the news they were still gushing over the fact that Harry, his Harry had been founded and unharmed. They would then proceed to show a photo of him calming Tom for brief second before the anger of them taking the small boy from him wrung it ugly head and he felt the over whelming need to kill everyone in site. His hands tightened on the chair and he let out forced even breath.

He did not do well when things were taken from him. He knew it showed and the police certainly knew what with the huge killing spree he was engaged in. He was positive that he was swamping them and to add fuel to the fire he even acted out of his M.O. He pressed his lips together and crossed his legs one over the other to change his position from on angle to the other.

He heard clanking from the other room just as a woman walked into the room her eyes wide and a tray of tea in her hands. She shook so hard you could hear the scarcer and teacup clanking together.

"Here i-is your t-ea Vo-lde-mort." She trembled her voice stumbling over her words. Tom's hand went to take the tea his red eyes watching her she gulped and his hand moved away.

"Drink from it first." Her eyes went wide and her shaking got worse.

"I-I."

"Drink from it!" he snapped out scaring her so bad that she let go of the tray it crashed to the ground braking the glass and spilling the tea all over the carpet. Tom shot up and grabbed her arm flinging her into the chair he grabbed her neck and squeezed. "Should I take this out on your children?" her eyes filled tears as she gasped for air.

"No plea- no." Tom smirked he knew it was cruel but it was meant to be cruel. What made it even more twisted was that the leverage he was using to make the woman obey him her two kids were already dead snuffed out with a pillow the other night while they were sleeping. The only one that the woman had confirmed dead was her husband who lay in the bathroom his head bashed in. As far as she knew her kids were trapped in the basement gagged and tied. Tom was watching her gasp for breath when he heard the t.v.

'Police are now asking that if you had seen Harry with anyone to please contact the number below. Head officer Sirius Black is looking for any leads…'

Tom tuned the rest out letting go of the woman he grabbed the pen and paper from the side table jolted down the number then looked to the woman who was only regaining her breath her wide eyes red and puffy.

"I think." He smirked. "That you can make it up to me." She shook at his glee tears falling and her future unknown. "Just do as I say and your children shall not be harmed." She nodded willing to do anything for her kids. Tom would have chuckled at her but thought that might be too much for her to handle turning from her he began to write on the pad of paper, plans forging in his head quickly. This was going to please him.

~O~

Bellatrix sauntered into the room her curly hair bouncing with her steps she spared a short look to Harry and smiled.

"Why dear cousin with that type of greeting people would think you are not happy to see me." Remus frowned and scooted closer to Harry it was never good when Bellatrix decided to drop in.

"Could it be that I'm not happy to see you?" she cackled her eyes flashing.

"Everyone is happy to see me." She snapped her gaze to Harry. "Oh is that the child on the t.v. You know the one associated with that Voldemort?" She went over to the table and reached out to caress his cheek Harry leaned far back into his chair green eyes wide. "Well aren't you just precious." Harry's mouth shut with a click and his body went tense Remus looked at him in worry knowing that Harry was withdrawing within him self again he shot a look to Sirius.

"Bella-" the door slammed open reveling a disorderly man his hair sticking up in all angles and his clothes rumpled from sleeping in them.

"Sirius there is a woman on the phone she refuses to talk to anyone besides you." Sirius blinked at him before looked at his partner.

"You watch Harry I'll be back." He glanced at Bella eyes narrowing. "Keep an eye on her." His head tilted to his cousin Remus nodded and Sirius left the room hoping to keep the call short so he could get back to the room.
