Betrayal all over again

Rotanev

My dearest Rigel and Rotanev,

It's me, Aunty Bella. No, I am not your actually aunt, but I am Draco's, so I will treat you as I treat him. You two bear a gift that only I will ever see as a gift. The Dark Lord sees it as a threat, but you my children, bear a gift.

The sweet Greengrass girl did an amazing job seeing how you two would defend me. Rigel, thank you for your kind words. I would never kill an family member. Well, maybe. Depends on who they are, but never you two.

I swear on my life that The Dark Lord, does not know of what I have done to see how you feel about me. Even with the stories you have heard, I am still your Aunty Bella. I am your family. Take care of my dears.

Love,

Bellatrix Lestrange

"I'm going to kill Daphne." Rigel seethed through his teeth. Before I could even get up from the bed, he was already out of the dorm. I raced down the stairs to find him.

We had gotten the letter, along with the early birthday gift from our father and Uncle Regulus. It was two daggers, one for the each of us. "R.A.B." was craved into the handle of the dagger, along with the Noble House of Black symbol. It looked much like the one everyone in the family had.

I heard a scream come from Daphne as I reached the bottom step. Rigel had her pinned against the wall beside the fireplace. Looking around I could see everyone's eyes filled with fear, "Out. Every one of you! Our friends stay."

Everyone ran to their dorms, while Jaden stood up and walked over to Rigel, "Mate, I need you to calm down. What did Daphne do?"

Rigel pushed her harder against the brick wall, "She's working for Bellatrix! She lied about why she broke up with me and now I see why. She's trying to get into my head to unleash what's inside Rotanev and I. She wants us like the first Monroe Airson. She wants even Tom to worship us in fear. Just as Grindelwald did to Grandmother Airson."

Jaden looked at me for answer, as Theo, Blaise, Draco, and Pansy did as well. I handed the letter to Jaden, "It's all in there. I don't know what game she's playing at, but Rigel could be right. She went against her master's own will. If she was caught, she could pay a lot. Not to mention, getting blondie involved."

"You were our friend!" Rigel screamed, "We trusted you! We told you our secret. I loved you for fucking sake! Was that not enough! What more was she offering you, than what we did? We offered you a true family, for when you didn't like yours!"

The common room door sung open to reveal Remus running into the common room, with Regulus beside him. Right. Order stuff to keep an eye on Dumbledore and Professor Umbridge.

Regulus slowly started to walk towards Rigel and Daphne, "Someone tell me what the bloody hell is going on? Remus gets a quick letter from a student saying Rigel is trying to kill someone. Now I see that that student did not lie."

I looked at Jaden, "Hand him the letter." He did as told, and I watched my uncle's face drop as he started reading it, "She's found us, Reggie. She's found a way around everything."

He passed it on to Remus and I watched his face fall as well, when reading it. Regulus looked at Daphne, "Well I don't see why she should live. Rigel, continue your business."

Regulus went to walk out, but Remus stopped him, "We are not going to allow him to kill Daphne. Sirius would want to see that anyway. We turn her in for working with a known deatheater and we will allow the wizarding council to handle it."
