A/N: Now do you understand why i have been dying to write about that since i first had the idea over a month ago?!

Wasn't that evil of me? Why do I enjoy making Larissa's life hell? I don't know, but I do...

But for now,

Enjoy : = / (any ideas for a mouth for Voldy?)

Chapter 37 – Silent Tears

Larissa saw Sirius talking to Professor Dumbledore, who, had no doubt showed up at some point during the battle. She then watched as he came over, and took her aside, she saw Professor Dumbledore taking the others to a fireplace to floo back to Hogwarts.

'Larissa, honey,' Sirius began, she frowned, noticing the use of her full name,

'Dad, I need to go back to Hogwarts, they're leaving,'

'You're coming with me, back home.'

'What? Why?'

'I'll explain when we're there, Dumbledore suggested it, come on,'

'But Dad!'

'You are coming with me young lady, and that is the end of it.' He looked at her sternly, and she sighed, but went with her dad to one of the fireplaces.

'Grimmauled Place!' she said, throwing some powder into the fireplace, and stepping in after it. She soon arrived back home, and her dad came through after her.

'Where's mum?' she asked

Sirius was silent for a moment

'Dad, where is mum?'

'About that...'

'Is she alright?' Larissa asked worriedly,

'She's fine, come with me,' he lead her into the drawing room, and they sat down. 'This might come as a bit o a shock, who am I kidding, this will be a shock alright.'

Larissa looked at him, she was very confused

'Your mother has re-joined the Death Eaters,' he said simply,

Larissa just stared stupidly at him. She then got up from the sofa, and walked up the stairs calmly to her bedroom. She sat down on her bed, and took a deep breath, as she let what her father had just told her sink in.

Her mother had re-joined the Death Eaters, after only just coming back to them almost four years ago, she was gone again. A single tear slid silently down her cheek, followed by another. She continued to stare at her walls, silently crying. Not batting an eye lid, not wiping her tears away. Her mother, was gone, and would not be coming back.

She didn't understand how Bella could have done this, had she never really loved Larissa or Sirius at all? Had she merely been biding her time, waiting for when her master would return? Had she never even cared, not even slightly?

She wished that Snowbelle was there, Snowbelle always comforted her when she was upset, but even now, nothing could comfort her.

Larissa then thought of Draco, her own boyfriend had turned them into Umbridge. Had he never cared either? Was that all just some trick? Over nearly five months, he had been her loving boyfriend, but then he just turned them in at the first chance he got. He didn't even look at her once he'd done it, the coward.

Larissa wasn't sure how long she sat there, thinking, and still crying, but only a little, when Kreature came in.

'Mistress, Master Sirius says that dinner is ready, and you can have it up here if you wish, or you can come down and eat it with him. He understands.'

'Thank you Kreature, Tell him I'd like to stay up here please.' She was always nice to Kreature, and in return he was almost nice to her, well, he wasn't horrible.

'Kreature?' she asked, a thought coming into her head.

He apparated back into her room, 'Yes Mistress?'

'Why did Harry think that Dad was at the Ministry?'

Kreature hesitated, before answering 'Kreature told the Potter boy, that Master was out,'

'And was he?'

'No Mistress,'

'Why did you tell him that he was out?'

'Because Mistress Cissy told me too.'

'Aunt Cissa would never tell you to do that!'

'Her husband told her, to tell me to.'

'Do you know why I couldn't contact dad on the mirror?'

'Yes Mistress,'

'Why?'

'I blocked it with Elf magic.'

'I order you to unlock it, and keep it unlocked until I say otherwise.'

'Yes Mistress.' He then disapparated, and Larissa had lost any fondness she had ever felt for the elf.

A little while later, there was a knock on her bedroom door,

'Come in,' she said, thinking it was her dad, but to her surprise Tonks walked in,

'Wotcher Lissy,' she said quietly, coming over to give Larissa a hug,

'Hey Tonks,'

'How're you doing?'

'Okay I guess, are the Order here?'

'Mmmm, Sirius is arguing with Mad Eye, since he wants to change the wards on the house just in case, but Sirius is saying that Bella was never secret keeper, he was so she wouldn't be able to tell anyone anything anyway.'

'Oh, is Remus here?'

'Yeah, do you want him to come up?'

'Can you stay too?'

She nodded and then went back down stairs to get Remus, a moment later, Remus was coming into Larissa's bedroom along with Tonks, Larissa gave him a hug, and they sat down on the bed.

She laid down and closed her eyes, Remus stroked her hair, she liked knowing that they were there, and soon she fell asleep.

A/N: So that was just a cooling off chapter after the last one... And don't worry, I have lots of other tricks up my sleeve for the future...
