A/N Honestly, I've had this chapter written for at least a week now... Sorry!

Disclaimer: Didn't put this last chapter... I do not own Harry Potter! Or Sweeney Todd...

High heels clacked through the halls of Gaunt Manor. It was late. Maybe two or three in the morning. Every light in the house was turned off, having the illusion that no one was home. That's what any ordinary witch or wizard who happened to pass by at this late hour would be thinking.

Andromeda Black knew better. The Dark Lord had requested a meeting with her and Rabastan after the average Death Eater meeting. He needed his information. He'd given her enough time and now the plan needed to be put into action.

She knew what she would say. It had been crucial when she found the news out from the Tonks family. Andromeda knew that she had to report the news to the Dark Lord as soon as she saw him next. It was her duty.

She reached the same dining room she had been in when her and Rabastan had received their marks. There was a small Lumosfrom someone's wand hanging from the ceiling, casting the entire table in light.

Around the table were four hooded figures. One was at the head of the table, and his hand was gripped tightly by his side. Presumably the one who casted the Lumos charm. To the right of said figure was a hunched over man with a muscular build. On the side of the table were two adults, speaking in hushed whispers.

As soon as her heels stopped clacking, the entire table glanced up quickly. The Dark Lord was at the front with Rabastan at his right side. The two adults who had now turned to face Andromeda were her parents, Cygnus and Druella Black.

"Ah. Thank you for joining us, Andromeda. Sit. Sit. I trust you have information for me." The Dark Lord spoke with a mock smile.

Andromeda took a deep breath and seated herself in the chair next to her parents.

"I have."

"Anything worth my importance?" He leaned forward on the table.

"Well, I've heard something a few weeks ago that needs to be said to you. It could destroy us." By the time Andromeda was done speaking, every occupant at the table had been hanging on to her every word.

"Well? Out with it." He spoke carelessly.

"Dumbledore is gathering others. Tonks included. Some sort of Order consisting of Aurors, and Dumbledore is the head, " She started, taking in her surroundings. "Well, there's a prophecy. I heard the Aurors talking of it. It's causing quite the scandal. A boy born in five years at the end of July is supposed to have the power to defeat you. It is said that his parents have defied you thrice."

Druella looked positively horrified. "This-this isn't- cant be correct! There's no way."

"I have heard of this Andromeda, but not as many details as I'd like," He nodded approvingly. "Yes, yes. I shall search for this boy. Is that all?"

She nodded hesitantly.

"Well, I have brought you all here for a reason. Madame and Monsieur Lestrange happened to be on a particular mission for me, so they are not present at the moment. However, I would like to speak to you all about... An heir," He smirked. "You see, Andromeda, you are to be wed to the Tonks boy, but we need a Lestrange heir. I would like for you two... To get working on it... Soon," His smirk widened. "Considering the unfortunate circumstance, the child will be raised as Andromeda and Tonks's child. The child can't know who his or her biological father is until it is time. Any questions?" He asked sharply, daring any person in the room to question him.

"Very well. I must be going." He said as he pushed in his chair and walked through the empty door frame without another word.

"Rabastan, son, I'm so sorry," Cygnus whispered so as not to alert the Dark Lord. "I didn't know it would result in this."

Rabastan chuckled bitterly. "There's
nothing we can now, can we?" Rabastan sat up and pushed the chair in. Cygnus and Druella followed.

"We'll leave you two to discuss." Druella said quietly as they apparated with a pop.

Rabastan grabbed Andromeda's forearm and apparated right afterwards.

Andromeda fell face first againsta a certain hard wooden floor.

"Shit," She moaned and rubbed her forehead out of agony. "Work on your landing, Rab."

"Shhh!" Rabastan clamped his left hand over her mouth. "You'll wake them!" He whispered.

"Wake wh-" Andromeda took in her surroundings. Dark velvet curtains hung majestically over French windows, large paintings adorned the walls, and a large cloak with the Black family crest engraved on the side hung over a lonesome chair. "That cloak," She whispered. "That's Bellatrix's cloak!"

"Shhhhh! Muffliato!" He waved his wand quickly and silently.

"You brought me to Lestrange Manor? Lestrange Manor? Are you mad? If either of those two see me, my throat'll be slit faster than you can say Sweeney Todd!"

"... What the hell is Sweeney Todd?" Rabastan asked curiously.

"Damn Muggles... So," Andromeda placed her right hand on her knee and pushed herself up. "How's life treating you?"

"Turns out I'm one hell of an actor. How are the Muggles?" He flashed a joking smile.

She rolled her eyes. "Tonks is at least tolerable. The family... Not so much." She sighed.

"If you want him killed, let me know. I know someone." He chuckled a bit. "Well," He turned serious again, "Should we get working on that heir?" He blushed.

"Always had a way with words, that one." She mumbled under her breath and laughed.

Rabastan's eyes widened.

A creak was heard from the staircase.

"Fidelis!" He whispered grabbing a hold of Andromeda's forearm.

"Rod, I'm telling you I heard a crash. Your grandmother's portrait came up and told us she saw two people! She didn't get a real good look at their faces, but she saw them in this very room!" Bellatrix spoke in front of the now hidden Rabastan and Andromeda.

"There's no one down here, Bella. It's probably just Rabastan. He hasn't come home yet." Rodolphus spoke, wrapping a blanket over his bare chest.

Andromeda scowled. Great, she thought, we interrupted them.

"Great Merlin, Rod! Can you not count? The blasted woman said two! Did you happen to fail Arithmancy in your N.E.W.T.S?" She spoke vehemently.

"It's no one," He spoke. "Let's get back to be bed." Rodolphus said motioning towards the staircase taking a few steps.

"I bet it's Aurors..." She spoke distractedly dazing around the room distractedly.

Rodolphus sighed and thumped his head against the wall, "We're to see the Dark Lord in about three hours. Let's sleep. We'll put a charm over our bedroom if we have to." He spoke never taking his head off of the wall.

Bellatrix humphed and began walking towards the staircase once again, "Fine but- Ow!" She rubbed her shoulder, "I just hit something!"

"There isn't anything there, Bella! Maybe Narcissa is right, you 'have' become unhinged."

She narrowed her eyes. Rod shrugged and hustled up the stairs.

"Where the bloody hell do you think you're going? Come back here!" Bellatrix chased Rodolphus up the steps, forgetting completely about her sore shoulder.

"She bumped in to me." Andromeda spoke softly.

"I could tell."

"That was a close call." Andromeda whispered sitting down on the couch.

"I wish they could know." Rabastan muttered, not making eye contact.

"It'd help, wouldn't it?" She said as the couch sunk a little deeper, signifying that Rabastan was sitting on it with her.

She smiled a bit and he leaned closer, "Do not defy the Dark Lord's wishes," Rabastan spoke in his best impression of Bellatrix, "How about that heir now?"

She smiled and kissed him.

A/N I was a little rusty on the charms. I had to do a little research, but I'm still not sure they're quite right. Didn't want to write a smut scene, especially now with this new fanfiction rule. Don't feel like getting ejected from the site. Sorry, loves! Let me know what you think. Review!
