Bellatrix's accomplice

Chapter 36

Third-person point of view- Bill and Fleur's wedding

The air grew cold. An unearthly presence had just arrived, catching the attention of everybody. "Kingsley's Patronus" someone whispered, it can't possibly mean good news.

"The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming" it read monotonously as blue, terrified faces emerged from the Patronus. Everybody began to chatter but in a fearful way. What did he mean the ministry has fallen? And who is coming?

Many began to disapparate and the protective charm around the burrow was now broken.

Suddenly, death eaters flew through the tent, knocking people over relentlessly. Everyone began panicking and screaming. Ron and Hermione desperately tried to find each other.

Flames arose inside the tent as more death eaters arrived. Harry saw Y/N and Bellatrix at the entrance, hand in hand. He charged forward but was stopped by Lupin. "Not another marauder. Bella, I guess we are killing tonight" Y/N cackled.

Before you could say quidditch, Harry, Ron and Hermione apparated away. Where? Nobody knows.

First-person POV

We crashed their pathetic wedding to find the Potter boy. Our one task failed, again. He managed to get away with his two cronies.

The Weasley's put up protective charms around them all, meaning we couldn't hurt them but that didn't mean we couldn't interrogate them. They were trapped, surrounded. There was no escaping us.

Since they were all huddled together, it was easy to ask questions. "Where has Harry Potter gone?" I demanded. At the sound of my voice, many quivered into their friends but Arthur Weasley stood tall, hand in hand with Molly. "Arthur Weasley, we meet again" I smirked.

"Stay away from us. You are all deranged" Bella laughed sadistically, "maybe we are. But why does that matter when we enjoy what we do?" There was a glint of fear in his eyes but he tried not to show it.

"Such a pretty girl" I said, walking up to Ginny. I was inches away from her although, the protective charm still stood. "Stay away from her" Molly shouted, "or what Molly? What are you going to do about it" I laughed in their faces before backing away slowly.

"All we ask is that you tell us where Harry Potter is" they all stayed silent, as expected. I turned to Bella and gave her a bored look. She bit her bottom lip back and yelled "INCENDIO" before apparating away.

I watched as the tent began to catch fire, smirking before also apparating away. But, as I did my robes caught the fire so I had to land outside the house.

I accio'd some water to put the flames out but it reached my skin. "BELLA" I screamed, I was in so much pain, my skin was slowly melting off. "BELLA" I screeched again, she suddenly came charging out.

"What? What've you done?" she screamed through tears as I clutched my arm. "The fire got caught. Help!" I choked. The pain seared through my arm as I yelled for it to stop. She cast the spell, episkey and the burn began to disappear slowly. It was excruciatingly painful.

Once it cleared up, I could still feel the burning sensation in my limb. Bella pulled me into a hug as I cried into her chest. I'd never felt pain like it, and I've been crucio'd many times in my life.

"There, it's fixed now. Please Y/N, calm down. I'm here" I couldn't calm myself down, I just cried hysterically into her arms. We were still outside so the crisp air made me shiver. She took her cloak off and wrapped it around me. Urging me to stand up.

I managed but I was still traumatised so I clung to her for dear life. It felt like if I was to let go, she would disappear and I'd be all alone.
