Chapter 33

"Hello, Dorea." 

Dorea squinted her eyes slightly to see where she is and what's happening? She looked around and tried to stand, but found herself tied to a chair making her panic. Her eyes looked around once more, but it's so dark that she couldn't see anything or anyone. 

"Who is there?" She asked the person who said her name.

"Ah, you wound me, dear girl." The voice said in a fake-hurt tone. 

Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice. She heard a chuckle as the person understood her reaction. She tried to calm her racing heart and think about what happened for her to be here in first place. She groaned slightly when her head started aching for some unknown reason and then she remembered why she is here.

She was feeling sick and didn't want to worry Charlus or James and left the manor silently without informing anyone to go to St. Mungo's. She met the healer who knew about her illness and was about to return back through the floo when Molly stopped her by accusing Dorea's son of stealing her children. Dorea is very protective of James and her temper flared when she heard Molly's accusations. 

Dorea's headache increased due to Molly and she started talking to Molly or more like shouting back at Molly for accusing her son of things he didn't do. She didn't notice someone behind her who stunned her and when she opened her eyes she is here at this dark place. 

"Now that you have recognized me, let's talk properly." The voice which she recognized as Dumbledore's said to her and she had to close her eyes when the room lit up so bright at once. 

"Now, you have two options, Dorea." Dumbledore said sitting in front of her.

"Never. " She snapped angrily. "You can just kill me." 

"Now where will be the fun in that?" Dumbledore chuckled like the maniac he is. "Either you tell me what's going on or I'm going to force open your mind and find out what's happening."

Dorea controlled her emotions using her powers as empath that Dumbledore seemed to forget that she has and grinned at him making his smile drop for a moment. He smiled back at her ready to invade her mind when she frowned at the new emotions hitting her suddenly making her loose control over her mind. Bastard, she thought angrily. He is trying to invade her mind using her own skills. 

Dorea fought hard to try and control her mind from spinning as the emotions hit one after the other in succession without a gap. How is he doing it? How is he sending various emotions without anyone around them? She was trying so hard to not loose the battle with her own mind. Dumbledore chuckled at her stubbornness and stopped his attack after what felt like an eternity. 

"That was a new spell that my dear Lily invented to weaken your defenses. She was always smart." Dumbledore gushed proudly before leaving her alone in the room. Dorea almost sighed in relief, but the door opened again making her stiffen in her chair.

"Did anyone see Dorea?" Charlus asked when he sat for dinner. 

"No, isn't she in the room?" Sirius asked him. 

"No." Charlus shook his head and Sirius frowned.

"When we went to see her, she said her head was aching and we just sat a few minutes with her and left the room to not disturb her further." Sirius said and Regulus nodded his head. 

James entered the room slightly distracted due to a nagging feel at the back of his mind that about something going wrong. He looked at the table and frowned when he didn't find his mum. Merlin, don't let anything happen to her, he thought as his eyes met his dad's.
