A/N: poor, poor Lockhart…*clicks tongue* he will be missed…NOT! So in this chapter I've got more of Bellatrix and Lucius than anything else and they…find out things…Oh and Dramatic-Demon, I know the Dursleys are evil but I really don't think they deserve what Bellatrix is gonna do to them…*shudders*

Chapter 17

Bellatrix banged on the front door of Number 4 Privet Drive.

"WHAT NOW?" Vernon Dursley screamed.

Bellatrix had her wand out before the man could say Quidditch. (not that he even knew the word existed, but still,)

"Where…is…Harry…Potter?" she growled, pointing her wand at him and making sure the man knew she wasn't playing.

"I-I don't know! I already told your blonde friend that I have no idea where he is!" Vernon said; Vernon might've been an idiot, but he wasn't stupid enough to ignore the fact that this women meant business.

"Lucius, search the house, and if you're lying, Dursley, I'll kill you, and if Lucius doesn't find him, I'll still kill you," Bellatrix growled.

Vernon said nothing; he'd been a dead man the moment she'd apparated onto his front lawn.

Lucius took a good half hour in the house before heading back out to the front door with Petunia and Dudley Dursley.

"This is all I came up with Bella," he said apologetically.

Bella screamed in frustration. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" she screamed, her wand still pointing at Vernon. "Kill the rest of them, Lucius! NOW!" she'd finally lost her temper.

Lucius did as he was told, if Bella had wanted to Crucio any of them, she would've already done so.

Once all of the Dursleys were dead on the front porch, Bella sighed. "We need Severus for this kind of work; he'll know how to find Potter. Come on Lucius, let's go."

"Number 8, Spinner's End," Lucius said coolly, and then he was gone, Bellatrix following just behind him.

Severus felt the ripple that meant someone had crossed into his wards. He stood up, wand in his hand. Harry had gone to bed a couple hours ago, but there was no way Severus was going to take chances. He headed upstairs and quietly began putting up protective charms over Harry's bedroom door before heading back downstairs. There was a knock on his front door. "Who is it? Severus hissed.

"It's me, Bella, and I've got Lucius with me," Bella's high-pitched voice called.

Severus sighed and opened the door. Bellatrix swooped in, looking very upset indeed. Lucius looked much calmer.

"I'm so glad you're home, Severus. To be quite honest, I thought you'd be out." Bellatrix said.

Well?" Severus asked, "Why have you come, Bella?"

"Lockhart couldn't even do his job right! Turns out Potter's not at his aunt and uncle's, and we need his blood to bring the Dark Lord back to power," Bella huffed.

Severus tried to keep his face neutral. "Well, Potter's always been one to run off and get into trouble," he said, as indifferently as he could, "What did you do with his aunt and uncle?"

"Killed them all; Lucius was very helpful," Bellatrix said, with a nasty smile on her face.

At that moment, Severus heard a voice that made his heart run cold.

"Severus? What's going on? I thought I heard voices," Harry said.

Please let this all just be a bad dream. Please don't let anything happen to him. Severus thought.

"He's here," Lucius said incredulously.

Bellatrix seemed to have put two and two together. "You're Dumbledore's spy!" she screeched.

"Yes, I am," Severus said coldly. He pointed his wand at her, "and you're not getting anywhere near my son!"

He had no idea where that last word came from, but he didn't care. Nobody was going to hurt Harry, not if he could help it.

A/N: Don't hate me for leaving it at a cliffy! Don't worry guys, Harry's not gonna die! Neither is Sev so just chillax!
