A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. I hope you will enjoy this chapter a much as the last one.
A/N: Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.

(BSC 2 C8) C38. This needs to be done before we go to school.

When most of the people had left, Harry had told his story to his parents and some others who would stay the night.

David and Isabella were the most interested in his side. Especially when Daphne and Bella had told them what the world in the mind of Harry had looked like. It was a depressing place, according to both of them.

Unfortunately there was not much that could be done about it. Only if there were more pleasant memories then that world would get brighten up when time went on.

After they all told there story, David then told them how he had been afraid that Harry would end up just like the parents of Neville.

Lily, who had listened to the story, had an idea how Harry was able to lock himself up in his mind. She asked for their attention and started to explain. "When I was working at our rituals with Alice Longbottom that was when we were both with the unspeakable s.

While me and Alice were working on the research we had to do. We came across some undeveloped rituals. One of those rituals would enable someone to lock themselves up in their own mind for a period of time.

If Alice and her husband succeeded, then they themselves are now locked up in their own minds. Now we only have to find the one word that will open their minds a bit, with would allow them to come out of it. That word would tell them that its save to come out. Too bad it was so long ago".

Everyone was looking at everyone. Could it really be? Would they be able to bring back Frank and Alice Longbottom, just so that they would again be able to walk between us?

Minerva looked a little quizzically at Lily. "How can you do that if you are locked up in that painting, and what actually do you mean by rituals". Minerva asked.

"Mom, I've done a lot of preparations to withstand Voldemort, just like Alice did. We both made paintings and put all of our memories in it. You know that they had to be made before we were dead.

The other thing we did was to be locked up in our minds that way Voldemort could abuse us, but we would always keep our minds to ourselves, even when the outside world would think we were completely mad. The intention was that we then within a few days could be retrieved. It has been more then eleven years that they have been trapped in their minds and that is if they were trapped in their minds to begin with. So I don't really know if we can get them to comeback, but it could take up to years before they are fully awake.

With Harry it was a surprise. I know that Harry was in his crib when we did that ritual. I know this because he was standing and looking at us with interest. Neville had been lying next to him but he was fast asleep. And I never expected that he would know how to do it, but he did and is now happily back with us. It also proved that the ritual is working which will give us hope for Alice and Frank".

The question was how could they do it, how could they recover Alice and Frank Longbottom from there minds.

Harry stood up and ran upstairs.

Everyone watched as he ran away. A few minutes later he was back. He had two small frames in his hands.

"Yes, that's it. Well done Harry you're wonderful. Glad you have the mind of your mother" James exclaimed happily.

Everyone looked directly at James. No one knew what he really meant.

"Those are our additional paintings" James said. "We can go there so that we can be in another place. If we put the one from Lily at the bedside table of Alice, then Lily can try to get her back. If we do get her or Frank to talk then Bella or someone else can bring her back, although Bella will be our last resort to use".

They all thought for a moment and then nodded approvingly.

The first thing that Isabella did in the morning was to go to the hospital and put the extra frame from Lily at the bedside table of Alice.

Neville and Augusta were kept in the dark with a reason. They did not know if it would work after such a long time, and the one thing they did not wanted to give them was false hope.

While Isabella went to St Mungo's, Harry wanted to go to Azkaban. He wanted to see Sirius and Bellatrix again. Harry explained that he did not know why exactly, but it was very important, he could feel it in his stomach. Something told him that he had to go there. And it had to be today because it was only a week before they would be back on their way to school.

Later that day, Harry and Daphne were headed to Azkaban in company of one of the auror's from Amelia.

Bella had decided to stay behind. She did not want to scare her other self. It even sounded weird to her own self when she said it in that way. But it was also true; the Bellatrix in Azkaban did not know that she would be sent back, especially when nobody knew why it was she would be sent back.

Harry, however, felt very differently about it. They all knew that she would be sand back to kill him, but the reason why she had to kill him they did not know. But his mind had told him that he must help her to prevent her from killing him when she was sand back.

With Daphne's hand in his hand, he first went to the cell of Sirius.

Sirius saw them coming and was already waiting for them and had a look of longing in his eyes.

Harry told Sirius all sort of things but he also told him that he loved living with his grandmother. And that she still remembered the lines he had to do.

Sirius became a little pale when Harry told him over the lines he still had to do and was almost wishing that Harry would never find a way to free him. After half an hour Sirius looked up towards the cell where Bellatrix was. "Harry, the last time I saw you, you were standing over there. What were you thinking, talking to my cousin like that?" Was his question to Harry?

"I just spoke to her and gave her a kiss on the lips".

Sirius's eyes widened. With a dubious Look he looked at Harry. "You know she's a Death Eater, she was one of the worst".

Harry looked at Sirius with a little anger and a lot of irritation. "Sirius you do know that Bellatrix will be my future wife".

Sirius was frowning at those words. "Are you crazy Harry, marry Bellatrix Lestrange that will be your death?" Sirius almost barked at him.

Harry smiled a mean smiled at Sirius and looked him strait in the eye. "No Sirius, I'm not crazy. And yes, I will marry Bellatrix. Why, well because your grandfather is the reason why. He made a marriage contract with my great, great grandfather, and there is also the fact that Bellatrix is no longer a Lestrange. Her deceased husband has completely disinherited her. And so Bellatrix is Bellatrix Black again which also reactivated the contract between the black and the potters".

Sirius was completely in the blank when he heard the story of Harry. He would never believe that his grandfather had made such a contract with the Potter's. Harry and Sirius together with Daphne talked a little longer.

Just before harry said goodbye he turned around and looked at Sirius "One more thing Sirius. Last time when I was with her she told me that you were innocent. Too bad not all of the family things the same of the other" and Harry walked towards Bellatrix.

Harry with Daphne at his side stopped in front of her cell and stood there with his hands resting on the bars.

Daphne was standing next to him and looked carefully into the cell. The woman who came to the bars looked different than the Bellatrix in the mind of Harry. She was unkempt and lean. Her brown eyes were empty and without feeling, it was as if you were looking into an empty soul.

Those eyes immediately changed with a single glance at Harry. Suddenly there was hope and affection radiating from those eyes. She put her hands on those of Harry and looked straight at him. A small smile appeared on her face. "You are the Potter, whom I should marry is it not". She asked a bit shy.

Harry, however, could only nod.

"But you also know that I'm a Death Eater do you not".

Harry looked at her and breathed deeply. "Yes, I know that and I also know that you have to kill me. Because that's something that Death Eaters must do for their Lord. You cannot save me from your master." Harry said it very quietly while he was looking her strait in her eyes.

Daphne knew what he was doing. He wanted to know if he could persuade Bellatrix to fight for him. He wanted to know whether this is the same Bellatrix as the one who was living with him, or if she was the bloodthirsty witch who was described in all the books.

Bellatrix looked at him and there was doubt in her eyes. Inside her there was a fight between anger and dilemma, Hope and longing. What was she to do, fight for her Lord or the love from Harry.

With a push in his back from Daphne, Harry took a step closer to Bellatrix.

She felt his breath on her face.

Harry leaned a bit closer to her.

A heavy breathing Bellatrix grabbed him by his robe and pulled him into a kiss. It was just like the last time and she became all week in the knees. She released him and told him to go.

Harry just stood there and kept looking at her. "I want an answer Bellatrix. I want to know if you'll marry me or if you're going to kill me".

Bellatrix knew she needed to answer him. "I'll have to go and serve my master again. That's because of this mark I have on my lower arm." And Bellatrix showed a faded tattoo.

"As long as I have this, I'm under his control. But if I can I will be with you. I do not want to kill you" she rolled her eyes and mumbled something while she looked at the floor.

With a finger under her chin Harry brought her head back up, and looked her deep in the eyes.

"What was it you just said"? Harry asked her in a whisper.

Bellatrix turned her face back to Harry. "I think I love you, Harry Potter." She was a bit shy when she said that.

And now Daphne saw it too. Her eyes were the same eyes as their Bella had. The little Bella was still buried deep down in her heart, and for Harry, she would come out again.

"And I love you". With a big kiss that curled her toes he walked away.

Bellatrix let herself lean back against the wall and sighed deeply.

Harry quickly looked over his shoulder, and saw a wide smile on her lips.

On the way in the boat back to shore Daphne leaned against Harry. "Glad that she will be send back and that she will be the Bella that we now know. I'm really sorry for what she went through Harry."

Harry nodded and pulled Daphne close to him. "Me to Daphne, me to" was all he could answer her.

*#*

Meanwhile, Bella had her own plan to perform.

In the middle of the night Bella had secretly talked to Harry. She had persuade him that she could discuss something about themselves with the others. What that was exactly, she had left in the middle.

Harry had not asked what it was that she wanted. He felt that it was not his place to do that, but most of all he trusted her so he was okay with it.

She had also asked him if she could show his memories to Andromeda and Tonks. She was now his sister and there for she had a right to it.

It didn't take Harry long to agree with her. He also knew that Bella wanted to share her story with her own sister.

Isabella had quickly gone to the hospital and had put the extra portrait of Lily down on the bedside table of Alice. When she came back, Harry, Daphne and an auror had just left for Azkaban.

Bella sat in the side room and was ready for the others with the Pensieve in front of her. Minerva. Arabella, Lily and James were waiting impatiently.

Tops and Andromeda sat on the bench with weeping eyes. The two of them had just seen the memories of Harry. They were the same memories as the others had seen the Christmas before. Tops wanted nothing more than curse that so called Uncle of Harry into oblivion.

Now it was Bella's turn to do what she wanted to do.

The others did not know what Bella had planned but they all knew that it was important to her. When Isabella sat down, Bella became a little nervous.

To the astonishment of Isabella she saw that Andromeda Tonks / Potter were allowed to stay.

"Thank You all for being here. I want to show you some memories. One is of Bellatrix as we saw her in Azkaban. I know that you already know this one, but something important happened in that memory. And the others are from inside the head of Harry.

Last night I talked to him about it and he knows what it is I want to do. I want to show you the world in his mind.

I want to do this because it's much worse than we have told you all. How and why I do not know but I do know that I know it and that I'm right about that".

The adults looked at her and nodded slightly. They did not know what Bella wanted to show them, but it was about Harry so they followed her. The first thing Bella showed them was what Bellatrix had said after the kiss Harry had given her.

"It was Andromeda who pointed it out to us. And it's also why Harry wanted to go to Azkaban. We are both of opinion that the key to the survival of Harry begins with the Bellatrix who is in Azkaban at this point in time.

When they had seen the images and had heard the reaction of Bellatrix. They could do nothing else than agree with her.

The next part was the hardest part for Bella. She did the first Memory from the head of Harry in the pensive and started it. The memory was again projected above the pensive, just like the other memories before.

All of them gasped at the side. The gray street was worse than they had imagined.

Lily did however recognize it as Privet Drive. But that was all she saw in the memory that was familiar to her.

Bella then went to one of the memories she and Daphne had seen. This was the one in dull colors. It was a memory of one of her nightmares where Harry had saved her.

Everybody was looking at the Memory but nobody got what Bella was getting at.

Only Isabella seemed to know what Bella mend. When the memory stopped Isabella looked questionable at everyone ells. "I understand you Bella. Shall I explain it to the others, because they don't seem to understand it"?

Bella nodded.

Isabella gave another look at Bella and began to explain. "The world of Harry is gray and at some points it is almost black" Isabella began. "This means that Harry had nothing but misery in his life, whenever there is a little bit of color in a memory. Then it's a sign of a good memory. Color radiates love and hope. Black and white represents misery and sorrow. Now in the last memory we have seen some color. There was love and hope. Still in that memory, Harry was placed under the Cruciatus curse, so how can that be love and hope for him".

It took a while before they really understood what Isabella had said.

Bella threw another memory in the pensive and let it play. It was a memory of how little Harry had saved Bella from Dudley. He had been hit with a stick for that.

"This was the second time he was hit with that stick. The first time was when he played tag with the other kids in their class".

The strange part was that this memory was also in some color.

Bella then showed many memories that she had seen with Daphne while they were in his mind. Eventually they came to one of her last memories.

That last memory was almost radiating light. Here they saw Harry tell Bella that he had recognized Minerva. And that he then saw a woman holding him while she was singing something with Danny in the song. This was the happiest memory that Harry had. But the memory of Harry as a baby with Minerva had been the happiest for him.

After a strong cup of tea, they still had one memory to see. It was the one of an adult Bellatrix who told Harry what he did out of love. And what he already had done out the name of love without him knowing it. The slap she gave him at the end did go a bit too far they said but they understood why she had done it.

Bella looked at Isabella and started the memory again. Now she pointed to the back of the memory and over the shoulder of Daphne.

Daphne who had been week in the knees from the kiss Harry had given her, had noticed nothing for what Bellatrix had seen.

Bella pointed in the distance of the memory and showed that there was a big black hole in the back. That is the hole of corruption. Again it appeared as if no one really understood the meaning of it.

Isabella looked around the room and after a nod from Bella she began to explain. "The hole of corruption is something of pure hatred. It was probably left by the soul piece of Voldemort, when it was banished from his had by the love he feels for Bella.

Everybody has hatred in their life. But for the most of us it's spread around between love and happiness. For Harry it was just hatred he felt so love is very thin and spread out here and there.

So the hole of hatred can turn Harry into a dark lord, and it could happen overnight. The more love he gets, the less hatred there is. The more errors there are the greater that is hate will become.

Last year there was nothing that helped with the happiness. The way Dumbledore took the stone and hid it in the castle. And as we all know it, it was Harry and Bella who had to solve it all. This has only fuelled that hatred even more. If something like that were to happen again this year it could bring Harry over the edge. And with the power that is within Harry, you'd better hope it will not happen".

Bella looked at the ground and in a soft voice she said. "I did not tell Harry about the hole of corruption. If I did he would only be thinking about it. It could make him go dark even faster than it would in a normal way. So by not telling him i might have bought us some time".

It was clear to everyone that they much do everything they could to keep Harry safe, and he had to have as many lovely memories they could give them. Because if there was one thing he did not have, than it was love for himself.

Andromeda told Bella that she was proud of her sister. The adult Bellatrix in the world of the mind was the sister she always thought she would become.

Bella let the others talk further about it because she herself could do nothing more than love Harry and give him the support he needed. A task she would perform with pride and dedication along with Daphne at her side.

While the adults were talking Bella went upstairs and started packing her trunk for the next school year.

*#*

Everybody had come to the Potter castle the day before they were to go to school. Mini and Maxi had prepared the breakfast. All the trunks were standing in a row in the hallway packed and ready to go.

When it was almost time that the port keys were to be activated everyone took there place and were ready to go to the Hogwarts express.

At half past eleven they port keyed on the platform. Everyone said goodbye to everyone and went inside the train.

The hardest part for them was to say goodbye to Astoria. She had to wait one more year before she too could go to Hogwarts.

There was some noise at the end of the platform. Daphne and Susan hung with their heads outside the window.

"You will not believe it" Susan said. "Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley are again fighting with each other. They are standing at the entrance to the platform. There seems to be something wrong with the entrance at the Muggle side of the platform, and I can't see Draco or Ronald anywhere. Lucius is blaming Arthur for something that has to do with Draco.

Molly Weasley is also screaming about her little Baby Ronald. She's like a howler when she does that".

The others were laughing in the Compartment. They had not forgotten that Draco and Ron had been very annoying the past year. Susan then told them that they were screaming about how Ron and Draco are left behind. It was at that time that the train Began to move.

Harry sat back on the couch. There was no Draco or Ronald in the train so the ride would be nice and quiet. Bella crawled as close to him as she could, Daphne saw her doing it and did it on the other side of him. Hermione did the same with Neville.

Susan said that she would just go through the train to look for Hanna who was one of her other friends. Slowly the train went along fields and the surrounding countryside.

After about an hour Ginny Weasley stood in front of the door. "Harry?" She asked gently.

Harry looked at her and gave her an encouraging smile.

"Harry, I warn ... Eh ... Mom... look out" the words came out of her mouth, her eyes grew wide and she ran away.

Harry shrugged and looked at the others. He sat back again and closed his eyes.

The old lady with the trolley was the next too come by and Harry treated everyone to some of everything.

When the door opened again it was Crabbe and Goyle who stood in the entrance. With fiery eyes, they watched the six friends in the compartment. "We know that you kept Draco away from the train and we will prove It." they cried almost simultaneously.

Harry wanted to go against them, but Neville was already on his feet. "We do not know where that spoiled brat is but he is not here. And we would not touch him with a ten foot pole. AND GO AWAY, NOW". With a bang he closed the door in front of their nose and sat down again.

Susan was laughing hard when she walked back in. "What have you done with Crabbe and Goyle" she asked.

Everyone shrugged their shoulders and Susan sat with them. The rest of the ride was quiet. With some coaches they went to the castle. It was a romantic ride and well liked by the ladies under them.

Above them they could hear a murmur of a small motor. What it was they did not know but they could hear it getting louder?

Neville with Susan and Hermione were in a coach in front of them, and were pointing to something that was behind them.

Bella was the first to turn around. "Look over there" and Daphne and Harry immediately turned around when they heard her shouting.

High up in the air, there was a small car that flew towards them. Now everyone was looking in the direction of the car.

From a distance it looked like the car was out of control. The lights flickered and the car shook. With a bang it dropped on the ground and bounce back up in the air. With one blow the blue car slammed against the side of the castle.

Everyone rushed to the car, and were talking loudly.

Draco Malfoy crawled out of the car on the right side. Ronald Weasley did it out of the left side.

Before anyone could say anything Snape stood beside the pair. He looked even angrier than he had ever done. "Both of you come with me, you two have an appointment with the headmaster" he almost screamed.

Harry could not suppress a chuckle, neither could Bella, and the two of them laughed it out loudly when they were out of hearing distance.

By now everyone had heard about the incident, so while the speculations were growing everybody went into the great hall.

They were expelled from school, and they had to sweep all day all year long, were some of them.

Therefore it was with great surprise that they all looked on when Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy came walking into the great hall laughing together like they were the oldest friends.

Draco sat down between Crabbe and Goyle.

Ronald Weasley went to sit down by two third year Gryffindor's.

Bella was watching Ronald with eagle eyes. Something was wrong, but she did not know what.

Ronald boasted that the teachers had loved how he had found another way to school, and that they were both awarded with 20 points by none other then Albus Dumbledore himself.

Bella immediately looked at the hourglass and there it was Gryffindor and Slytherin had both received 20 points.

She looked back at Ron and heard him say the following. "This year I'm going to tell my sister that she must seduce Harry Potter. She does not want to do it but she has to. If she does not do it, my mother has another way for me to do it".

Bella looked startled at Harry. "Harry where is Minerva. I need to know now."

Harry looked confused for a moment. "Last year she came walking through those doors with the hat in her hands" he said with a shrug to Bella.

Before he could ask why she needed his grandmother, Bella had already jumped to her feet and was on a run to the doors of the main hall.
