Tonks smiled at her friend as she walked out the door of Grimmauld Place. Deciding to go through with the deal, she apparated to her mother's house and knocked on the door. Letting herself in, she wasn't surprised to see her mother Andromeda in the kitchen.

"Hey Mom," Tonks began approaching her mother. Andromeda looked up slightly to meet her daughter's gaze.

"Hello Nymphadora, what did you need?"

Tonks giggled nervously before speaking.

"Well… Bellatrix wants to talk to you. She defected from Voldemort and bonded herself to Harry somehow. She's really sweet and said that even though she knows you hate her, she wanted to check on you to make sure you were alright. I said I couldn't promise her anything. What do you say?"

Andromeda was shocked, She defected? There may be hope for Bellatrix yet. And I do want to see her…"

"They can come by tomorrow. How are you going to get Bella here? She is still on the most wanted list."

Tonks nodded, "We're know. She's going to use her animagus form for a disguise. That way, muggles think she's a pet and magical think she's a familiar. Nobody should recognize her."

Andromeda nodded to her daughter.

"Okay. Tell Harry what I said. Goodnight Nymphadora."

Tonks visibly winced at the use of her first name.

"Don't call me that. Please? I don't know why you named me that in the first place."

Andromeda smiled at her and gave her a brief hug before leaving Tonks to apparate to her flat.

Well that was easier then I thought it would be.

Thought Tonks as she returned to her home, unaware of the earful Harry was getting from Hermione.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER HOW DARE YOU TAKE BELLATRIX LESTRANGE OF ALL PEOPLE AS A SERVANT! SHE IS NOTHING MORE THEN A LOW LIFE DEATH NIBBLER! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! AND THEN HAVING HER SLEEP AT THE FOOT OF THE BED! I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THEN THAT! GET RID OF HER!"

Harry snapped at the last bit of Hermione's rant.

"No."

Harry said calmly, looking the bushy haired girl in the eye.

"What?"

Hermione asked, shocked at his answer.

"No. I am not going to give her up. She's been through a lot Hermione. And she may have information that can help us in the war. So...no. You can say you won't be my friend anymore,and I don't care. Now, if you don't mind, I am going to check on Bella."

Proudly, Harry turned on his heel and walked up to his room. He wasn't surprised to see Bellatrix sound asleep in his bed. Deciding to let her sleep, he crept into bed beside her, mildly amused when she rolled over and cuddled into his side.

"Tomorrow, we go to Gringotts and see if we can visit Andromeda. Then, I figure out why all those death eaters knelt to me."

Smiling at his final thought for the day, Harry held Bellatrix close and drifted off for the night. Allowing sleep to claim him.

The next day, Harry woke up to get ready to go to Gringotts, not surprisingly, Bellatrix was snoring soundly against his chest.

"Come on Bella. We have to go to Gringotts. Then, I have a surprise for you."

Bellatrix nodded happily at her master.

"Okay master."

I wonder what master planned for me?
