Crucio!" Laura yells, Vance is lying on the floor, couldn't say a word. "Still not telling?" A deep voice behind Laura asks, "you..." the figure on the floor says weakly, "you..." Voldemort closes by, curious what is Vance talking about. "You are not like this, Laura, you..." "Avada Kadavra." Before Vance could say anything wrong, she bellows. "Who's next?" Laura asks Voldemort, with no expression on her face, she already learned how to swift off her emotion when killing people. "Bones, Amelia Bones." Emmeline Vance, Amelia Bones, being the killer for the lord Voldemort, Laura's hands are covered by blood, sins, and guilty, the order didn't know that they get no news from Laura since she left the order that night, only Dumbledore and Snape know, and everything is going on very well with the plan.
"Can't sleep?" She is now staying in Snape's house, on the street called Spinner's End, most of the people living there are muggles, it's wet and dirty there, a small place, but at least a good place to hide from the order, if they ever try to find her, it's not safe to stay in Swift Maison. Laura couldn't sleep as usual, but she doesn't feel tired at all. She walks downstairs to the living room, where Snape is sitting on the sofa, drinking wine. "Want some?" He asks, "I'm underage." Says Laura, it's funny to hear that since Laura is already doing many things, not her age. "Vance and Bones?" Snape asks again. "Yes." Laura nods, she knows what Snape is asking, "he wants me to move in with Malfoy." Laura tells him what lord Voldemort had told her, "I think, he is going to punish them, for the failure." Laura pauses, "he is really angry, Severus, I'm afraid he might..." Kill them, all of them. "You could stop him, you know, only your advice matter," Snape says after a while. "I'm not sure about this time, but I'll try, I don't want Draco to...he is innocent." Laura stops talking, thinking about what should she do if the worst happens. "The dark lord will send someone here to assist you, he will talk to you, and..." "Lead them to me, if you can, Laura," Snape says, he means them as Malfoy, not what she had just talked about. "Dumbledore wants me to." He explains when Laura doesn't look understand, "he will tell you after the term start, it's too dangerous now." Laura understands, it's not Dumbledore who doesn't trust her, but it could explore her if he contacts Laura. "And be careful," says Snape, and he stands up, going back to her room, "good night, Laura." "Good night, Severus."
The next day, Laura left Snape's house, she goes to Malfoy Manor before Snape woke up, Voldemort is already waiting there, and Draco, Narcissa Malfoy and her sister Bellatrix Lestrange are all standing there quietly, waiting for the 'hearing'. "You've come, Laura." Voldemort greets her, like she's arrival is the only pleasant happens in the house. "My lord," Laura greets back, doesn't look at any other. "Lucius is in jail, so tell me, what do I suppose to do with you, Narcissa, I'd warn him that I allow no mistake last time!" Narcissa Malfoy is shaking, "my lord...?" That is the only thing she can say, and Draco looks terrified too. "My lord, allow me to say..." Bellatrix Lestrange, who stands beside her sister, trying to save them, "shut up, Bellatrix, or I will kill you as well!" Voldemort shouts, "but..." Bellatrix Lestrang says. She is only making the thing worst, thought she is 'still' her master's favorite. "I would shut up if I were you, Bellatrix," Laura says coldly, she doesn't like her, as she doesn't like her either. Bellatrix stares at her angrily, but shut her mouth, she isn't stupid, she knows whose words matter. "My lord," Laura says, she doesn't want to see any kills today, "If I could say a word?" Laura asks first, and Voldemort doesn't stop her, "Lucius's failure worth a punishment, I can't deny it," now Narcissa and Draco look at her unbelievable, "but, I would say, they're still quite useful, not to mention that Lucius's help when..." "I wasn't there, yes Laura, I remember." Says Voldemort, then he starts walking in the room, thinking about his final decision. "Kill Dumbledore for me, I think." He suddenly says, everyone in the room now looks nervous, "my lord?" Laura asks, she doesn't know who he is talking to, "Draco?" He calls, Laura turns around and sees Draco, who looks half nervous and half with excitement. "I will,...I ..will kill him, my...lord." Says Draco, her mother's face becomes pale, but on the other hand, her sister looks proud. "And I will assist him," Bellatrix says proudly, "and so am I." Laura knows this is the punishment to Lucius, Draco will fail and he will be killed. Laura knows that "no, Laura, no." "my lord?" "I didn't kill them, only because you show your worth to me in the past two months, I give them a chance as a reward to you, but only that, you can not help him, that's Draco's task, is it, Draco?" Laura looks at Draco, he nods, but quite doubts himself about doing his job. "Swear, you can't help him." "I swear," Laura has to swear. Dumbledore saw it coming, therefore he asks Snape for helping him, that's what Snape told her last night. After the dark lord leaves, only Narcissa stops crying, Draco goes back to his bedroom without saying anything, not even greeting Laura as he usually does. Laura notices that he see her differently since he knows Laura's secret of all time. "Narcissa, I'm sorry." Laura says, "sorry? What for, it's an honor, and with my help, Draco will succeed." Says Bellatrix. "No he won't." cries Narcissa. "Your help, and could you tell me what help exactly, just walking directly to Hogwarts?" Laura mocks, "It's not your business, Swift, you can't help." "Mind your attitude, Lestrange." "No, you already save us, Laura, thank you, thank you." Narcissa had fully aware that they could not be standing there still if Laura didn't stop Voldemort. "I can't help him, Narccisa, but I know someone can go for him." "No!" Bellatrix knows who Laura is talking about, she doesn't trust Snape either, but not for her sister. "Severus Snape." "We can't trust him, Cissy, listen to me!" Bellatrix says, but Laura could see hope in Narcissa's eyes, she knows she will find him. "Think about it, Narccisa, it's the only way could save him," Laura says, and then she goes back to the guest room.
