August 5th 1963 part one

Bellatrix had awoken early to get herself ready. If she had been close to her mother she would have asked for her mothers help.

Bellatrix wanted to look respectful for two reasons one she didn't want to look like she had no class in front of Tom and two if she didn't look respectful it'd embarrass her father and he'd never take her with him to see Tom again.

Tom was becoming an obsession for Bellatrix and she knew it, she didn't understand it, but she as sure as the sky was blue knew it.

Bellatrix had picked at her breakfast that morning to nervous to eat, both Narcissa and Andromeda had sensed it And did not ask their usual million questions . Cygnus and Druella were too busy silently glaring at each to notice their daughter nervous state.

Bellatrix and Cygnus left the Black manor at noon to see Tom. They didn't go by floo like they would if they were visiting the Malfoys or Parkinson's, but instead travelled by Portkey .

It was the first time Bellatrix had travelled by Portkey and she swore it was going to be the last.

Bellatrix didn't know why they even had to travel by Portkey, but wasn't going to question her father on the matter when she was so close to seeing Tom.

The first thing Bellatrix noticed when her stomach stopped churning was that she was outside and was in front of a graveyard.

'Father I thought we were going to see Tom?' Bellatrix asked as she walked beside her father following a path.

'That's why we're here' Cygnus said as if it should have been obvious to his daughter.

'Why are we meeting Tom in a graveyard?' Bellatrix asked curious to why Tom would pick a graveyard to meet her father.

'Bellatrix I wish you'd stop calling the Dark Lord Tom it's disrespectful' Cygnus told her.

'Tom doesn't mind' Bellatrix said her voice laced with arrogance.

'I know the Dark Lord has shown a special interest in you, but don't get cocky' Cygnus warned his daughter.

'You still haven't answered my question about why we're in a graveyard' Bellatrix said completing ignoring what her father had said.

'Because at the end of this graveyard is a statute which given the right password lets you through unseen shield to a secret safe house that belonged to Salazer Slytherin' Cygnus told her in a hushed tone.

'Why are walking there when could fly a broom there and why didn't the Portkey just takes us there?' Bellatrix asked beginning to get annoyed that it was taking so long to get to Tom.

'You can't Portkey or Floo into the house and we are in Muggle graveyard we'd been seen if used a broom or even we used Apparition' Cygnus explained.

It took thirty minutes before Bellatrix and Cygnus got to the statue that Cygnus had told Bellatrix about.

The Statute was of a young boy who had a snake wrapped around his wrist.

Bellatrix heard her father whisper the words Viridis Contego from the corner of her eye she saw the snake nod its head.

Bellatrix felt her father grab her wrist and pull her past the statute.
