The Potter who became a Black

Part 9

The two daughters of Black Blood stood along with their husbands on the curb of Grimmauld Place, and all four of them could feel the hostile Wards surrounding the properties. Bellatrix and Narcissa knew the reason for this; as far as the Wards were concerned, the Head of House Black had activated the emergency Wards which made all Black Properties activate their defences in case of attack. Lucius and Rodolophus had never felt such danger coming off a ward or property before. They both knew that magic was sentient but to truly feel it was another thing. 

All four of them cautiously made their way up the steps, before Bellatrix took Narcissa's hand and placed their joined hands on the wood of the door. "As daughters of the House of Black, we plus our spouses that was blessed by the House of Black, request sanctuary within your walls." The magic surrounding the house flared before the door swung open and both Black sisters let out a breath. The four quickly entered before the door slammed shut behind them, and the lights came on by themselves.

Both the Black sisters let out a gasp as the entrance way was unrecognizable. It wasn't their childhood home, but they had spent most of their time there with their cousins. Almost everything had changed, and for the better. "I know Emerald said that she was doing it up, but I didn't expect this." Bellatrix murmured to Narcissa, who just nodded still dumbstruck. Without another word, the two Blacks lead their husbands' to one of the drawing rooms, and took a seat waiting for further direction.

Both husband's were very confused, as this was entirely unchartered territory. Taking a seat next to each other, Lucius was about to speak when all in the room was startled when all of a sudden the sound of thick bars, both horizontal and vertical came down over all the windows and over the fireplace. Both the husbands were in awe of what was going on around them. Looking at his sister-in-law and his wife, he also noticed the same awed look in their eyes before Bellatrix got a hungry look in her eyes.

Bellatrix felt the townhouse being put into Lockdown at the same time the bars came across everything that lead to the outside, and once everything was in place, Bellatrix felt the powerful magical energy coming from the bars and she needed to know what it contained. Performing the spell that was only known to the Black family, and once it had finished she pulled the piece of parchment that it produced to her eye level and let out her crazy laugh while walking to her sister. "Cissy, look at this." Bellatrix handed the piece of parchment to her sister.
