Saving You

Chapter 9

A/N:
A small correction. 
"This is parseltongue.~~" 

Harrison's POV
When we reached my study, Mathew stopped. 

"What is it? Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm okay. But I feel something bad is going to happen. I don't know what it is, though." Mathew said.

"Can you tell what you think is wrong?" I asked. "Maybe we could figure it out." 

Mathew nodded and closed his eyes to concetrate why he was getting this bad feeling.

"I think it is coming from my mate bond." Mathew said. He looked panicked. 

"Can you track Rodolphus through the bond?" I asked.

Mathew nodded. "He's in Hogwarts." He said.

"Then we'll go there. I'm Lord Gryffindor, and you are Lord Slytherin. Dumbledore will not have enough power to stop lords of two of the founding houses." I said as I held his hand and walked with him to the floo room as I summoned our cloaks.

"Shall we go to Lestrange Manor before going to Hogwarts? It would be better to have the parent with us." I said.

Mathew nodded. He was concentrating a lot on the bond to know that nothing was wrong with Rodolphus.

I threw some floo powder into the flames as I shouted for Lestrange Manor. When we walked out the flame, Reinhard was there. 

"We need to go to Hogwarts. Uncle feels that something will happen to Rodolphus." I said.

Reinhard acciod his cloak and walked with us to the apparating point in the manor and apparated to Hogwarts Great Hall.

That was one of the advantages of being the lords of the founding houses. We could apparate to any place we want in Hogwarts.

I let go of Mathew's hand. He started walking towards the Slytherin dorms. When we reached the entrance of the Slytherin common room, I knew Mathew was in no state to open the door. 

"Open.~~" I said. When the door opened, Mathew bolted in with Reinhard and me following him. 

Bellatrix was trying to caste a dark control spell on Rodolphus, but thankfully for her, he was able to defend himself, but his shield was getting weaker. If the spell was caste on Rodolphus, I don't think Bellatrix would be able to stay alive to see the sunrise tomorrow.

"Miss Black. May I know what you are doing to my son?" Reinhard asked in a warning tone as he walked towards Rodolphus. 

Mathew walked just behind Reinhard and kept an eye on Bellatrix as he walked to Rodolphus.

When Rodolphus almost collapsed due to magical drain, Mathew moved and caught him and adjusted Rodoplhus so that he was leaning on him. 

Bellatrix noticed that both were not looking at her and tried to separate them from Rodolphus. When she lifted her wand at Mathew, I disarmed her. 

"Looks like you forgot I was even here, Miss Black." I said as I caught her wand and walked to Mathew.

Bellatrix was glaring at me. "He is my fiancé." She shouted.

"I don't think so. My son has not accepted the contract, and I shall never sign the contract without his consent." Reinhard said as he gave Bellatrix a cold stare.

I was feeling glad that I wasn't the target of the stare. If he had the ability to infuse magic into his stare, he could freeze Bellatrix. 

"You are not the one I'm going to marry Bellatrix. Even if you are the last magical being on the planet, I would rather die than marry you." Rodolphus said as he tried to stand without Mathew's support but failed.

"You need to go to the infirmary." Mathew said as he looked at Rodolphus. 

Rodolphus nodded.

"Give me my wand." Bellatrix screamed.

"Not happening. I shall be calling for Lord Black and informing what curse you were about to caste on my uncle. Let him decide what your future is." I said as I walked to the floo in the common room. "Black Manor." I said. When Lord Black, Orion Black appeared, I said, "Can you please come to the Slytherin Common room?" I need to discuss what I would do to your niece, Bellatrix Black. She tried to hurt my uncle, Lord Slytherin-Lenoir, and Lord Lestrange. She was hurting Heir Lestrange when we arrived in the common room. I, Lord Peverell-Gryffindor-Gaunt, will not take this very lightly, and neither will my uncle." 

Lord Black nodded. He flooed into the common room and looked at Bellatrix, who realised just who she had attacked.

"Lord Peverell-Gryffindor-Gaunt, Lord Slytherin-Lenoir, and Lord and Heir Lestrange, I am truly sorry for what has happened today. I am willing to listen to what you want to do to her." Lord Black said.

"Shall we have this conversation in the infirmary. He looks like he needs the pepper-up potion and blood replenisher." I said as I looked at Rodolphus.

Mathew then noticed the cut Rodoplus had on his arm. He was bleeding quite heavily from the cut, but because he was still wearing the black cloak, it wasn't noticeable before. But now that he tried to shift, the blood was oozing out. 

Mathew put a little pressure in the arm. Rodolphus winced in pain. "I know it hurts, but you need to put pressure there, or you might bleed to death." Mathew said.

Rodolphus nodded. He leaned onto Mathew as they walked to the hospital wing. Reinhard, Lord Black, and I followed them immediately.

As we entered the hospital wing, Poppy walked out from her office and saw us. She showed us to the bed. Mathew helped Rodolphus to sit and sat beside him so that Rodolphus could lean on him. 

Poppy gave Rodolphus a pepper-up potion. After drinking it, she healed the cut on his arm and then gave him a mild blood replenisher. 

"Can I know what actually happened?" Reinhard asked Rodolphus.

"Bellatrix wanted to marry. She started spouting about how our marriage would look like as usual, and it was getting on my nerves. I told her that I was not going to marry her. She started firing curses at me. One of the curses hit me, and that was what caused the cut on the arm. Then she started firing the control curse on me. It was the imperius, but it was almost the same. I put the best shield I could, but it was draining my magic slowly. It was getting hard to hold the shield. That was when Father, Lord Slytherin-Lenoir, and Lord Peverell-Gryffindor-Gaunt arrived.

When she stopped the curse, I knew I was completely drained, I would've fallen on the ground if not for Lord Slytherin-Lenoir. When he tried to catch me, Bellatrix fired a curse at Father and Lord Slytherin-Lenoir. Thankfully, Lord Peverell-Gryffindor-Gaunt disarmed her and called you Lord Black." Rodolphus said.

"Lord Black, I know that Miss Black is still in her fourth year, so I wouldn't put a lot her. I would ask you to put a restrain on her if she tries for my son. And if you ask her father to stop sending the marriage contract to me, I would be glad." Reinhard said.

"Thank you for that, Lord Lestrange. I would see to it that she doesn't come near your son or harm him in any way. I would also warn her father." Lord Black said.

"Warn her. If she tries to hurt my mate again, she will not remain on the planet." Mathew said. 

I know that he was controlling himself quite a lot for him not to get up and go attack Bellatrix for what she had done to Rodolphus. 

Rodolphus looked at Mathew in shock. "Mate?" He asked.

In my story, Arthur, Molly, Rodolphus, Bellatrix, and the Prewett twins are of the same age. That is because I don't know when Rodolphus and Bellatrix attended Hogwarts.
