Chapter 75: Regulus Arcturus Black

~ Mathilda POV ~

We landed in Knockturn Alley, it was currently half past eight and the others were hiding behind a little shop next to Borgin and Burke's. I quickly pulled my hood over my head, took two deep breaths, before Sirius kissed my cheek and I set out for the shop.

Before entering I took another deep breath and stepped into the building. Only Burke was there at that moment and I nodded towards him, a grin appearing on his face, while he greeted me.

I quickly pulled my wand out, when he looked down onto the counter and-

"Petrificus Totalus!" I said and he immediately froze and fell onto the floor, a loud bump following his fall. Borgin stormed into the shop, his wand ready and I turned towards him.

"Expelliarmus!"

He just stood there, wide eyes, eyeing me up and down.

"Petrificus Totalus!" I also said, pointing my wand towards him. He tumbled and fell and I quickly ran out of the shop, signaling the others that they could come.

The quickly left their hiding and walked towards the shop. "Great job, Bell," Alastor said while patting my shoulder and I smiled. We all walked into the shop and took the stairs to get upstairs to where the meeting was held. I was shaking because I was so nervous. My wand nearly glided out of my hands because my hands were sweating so much.

"We attack on three! No one goes in before or after. All together on three," Alastor instructed and all of us agreed, nodding our heads.

We heard voices from the inside. I could make out Bellatrix' voice, also Evan, Goyle and many other voices.

A male voice.

Was it his voice?

Would I meet him?

Would I meet him for the first time in my life?

I was not prepared to look into the face of Lord Voldemort. I was not prepared to see him.

But I had to be! I needed to concentrate. Not only my life depended on it, but also the lives of my friends.

I took a deep breath when Alastor started counting.

"1"

"2"

.....

It felt like hours, my heart sank into my stomach, I was sweating, shaking, breathing heavily, the walls around us felt like they were moving towards us and an enormous heat started to rise in my body.

"3!"

Alastor slammed the door open and we were met with shocked faces.

Without much thinking spells were fired. The man who I supposed to be Voldemort, apparated immediately after we stepped into the room.

"Expelliarmus"

"Stupefy"

"Avada K—" "Stupefy!" I shouted at Goyle who pointed his wand at me, trying to send me to my death.

"Crucio" I heard Bellatrix shout, followed by a bone-shattering cry from Lily. James and I immediately turned towards Bellatrix and fired spells at her.

"Serpensorita"

"Avade Kedavra." This spell was thank Godrick, fired into thin air and no one got hurt.

After fighting for some minutes we could take control over them, I pointe my wand towards Goyle who was lying on the floor in front of me. I had no idea what to do now. But the others were in similar positions. James stood over Avery, Remus had Crabbe pinned to the wall pointing his wand towards his neck and Sirius confronted Bellatrix, pointing his wand to her head.
