A change in life

Madness

Voldemort screamed, outraged that this Potter brat dared to break into his home, stealing his only chance to get a new body and his familiar.

The wixen beside him ducked their heads, trying to make their bodies as small as possible. They knew as soon as Potter disappeared and their master screaming, that they would suffer terrible.

"This damned brat.", roared Voldemort and threw one hex after the other, not caring if he hit someone.

"How dare he. Crucio.", without looking he cursed the next person standing nearest to him. Voldemort didn't stop until the person stopped screaming, immediately pointing his wand to the next and the next until they all lied moaning on the ground.

"M-My Lord. Please. We will bring Severus back.", said one of his minions, but Voldemort just cast the killing curse on him in his madness.

"Of course you will bring him back. And not only him, bring me all of them. I will kill the girl in front of Severus. Even Nagini won't stop me this time.", still screaming the Dark Lord didn't see the shocked faces of some of his followers; someone might be surprised to see Bellatrix among this people.

As Bellatrix saw the little girl for the first time, she was smitten. She had always wanted children, but couldn't conceive herself. She tried often enough with her husband, but it was always fruitless, no matter what they did. She wasn't around when Lucius and Narcissa got Draco and due to her time in Azkaban she had never had the chance to build a connection to her nephew.

What no one knew, except her sister, Bella isn't mad as everyone thought she is. No, she was one of the last spies the ministry had, only one person besides her sister knew about it, but would never talk about it. It was a promise, made a long time ago before the ministry decided never to send another spy. Bella was also not the kind of spy who would gather information. No, her only job was it to wait for the right moment to kill Voldemort once and for all, though maybe the better word for her was assassin.

It was Regulus who told her and Narcissa about the Horcruxe. After he died, both sisters made the promise that the Dark Lord would pay for destroying their family. After all, it was his fault why most of her family members died, like her parents who didn't die in a fight, but at the hand of the Dark Lord himself. How many died already due to his madness? Even now, he killed one of them, just because Potter broke into his manor and took Severus, Silvana and Nagini away. Wasn't it his own fault that the boy could do it?

"Lucius, we will go to your manor immediately, I want to see Draco. I have a mission for him. Should he fail then you know what will happen.", ordered Voldemort.

Lucius swallowed, but doesn't reply, just nodding his head before they all head back to his home.

It took Bellatrix a little longer to understand that his nephew would be the next victim. She knew very well, how much the boy loved his godfather and hated his own father, therefore he would never betray Severus and bring him back. Bellatrix and Narcissa already talked how they could take Draco out of the Dark Lord's reach. It seems it was time for Draco to stay at Hogwarts and never come back to Malfoy manor.

Now that Harry had Severus, maybe they could help Draco and keep him safe. She just hoped the old fool wouldn't intervene somehow.

When she arrived, she played her role perfectly like always, mocking the others, praising her master almost the whole time and using one or two spells on others. When Narcissa arrived with Draco, Bellatrix ignored her, only giving her a sign as the others were distracted. Her sister understood immediately.

"Ah, Draco. I have a mission for you. I'm sure you'll be eager to learn about it." Voldemort gives the boy an evil grin, knowing very well how much he liked the Potion Master. It is the perfect opportunity to prove his loyalty to his Lord.
