MY ARMS ARE PINNED BEHIND MY BACK AND I WATCH AS BELLATRIX HOLDS UP HARRY FOR DRACO TO SEE. I'm biting my tongue. If I do something, we'll all get hurt. But seeing Bellatrix hurting Harry, is making rage swarm within me. She's taken my father away from me, I won't let her take Harry too.
"Well?" She calls out to Draco, and the boy stares at Harry. My breathing is shaky, and I focus on projecting that none of them recognise him as Harry. "I can't be sure." I keep my eyes locked on the back of Draco's head. "Draco, look closely, son." Lucius whispers in his son's ear. They all want this to be Harry, for the reward given to them by the Dark Lord.
I can hear the rest of their conversation, my ears start to ring. Draco gets lead over to Harry and I make sure his vision isn't true, that it's a projection. "Give me their wands, let's see what their last spells were." I get pulled beside Hermione and I carefully reach my hand into her pocket and grab her wand. Her eyes trail down at my actions and I morph it into my skin.
The palms of my hands are clasping together, to hide the light blue glow they emit. My eyes start to blur and the ringing in my ears grow. I swallow harshly. The grip on my arms tighten and I grit my teeth. "We found it in her bag." The words pulse in my ears. I can't hear what happens next, but Hermione is pulling me with her and Bellatrix goes on a rampage. "Jupe, your eyes..." Hermione whispers out, and I catch a glimpse of their blue glow on the marble pillar beside me.
She's holding my hands, trembling. Bellatrix moves over to us and grabs Ron who stands nearby. "Put the boys in the cellar!" Her words finally register in my ears. Harry and Ron get dragged away. "I want to have a little conversation with these two, girl to girl." She gets up in our faces. Hermione is too scared to breathe.
"It was my bag. I found the sword." I croak out, and my eyes catch Harry as he's dragged down the steps. Hermione's eyes go wide, she tries to speak but I Project her to remain silent. Bellatrix lets out a laugh with wide eyes, before she glances over at Narcissa. The woman restrains me before shoving Hermione to the ground. A spell hits her, paralysing her. My eyes widen and terror spikes in me. "It was my bag! It had nothing to do with her!" I scream out and Bellatrix pins Hermione to the ground.
A wand presses into my throat and I keep my eyes on Hermione, mumbling healing spells under my breath. "Let her go!" I'm thrashing around, screaming. Hermione's screaming too. My heart beat is vibrating through me. "You'll want me more than her!" Bellatrix snaps her head up and looks at me, tilting it. She knows.
She hums before laughing again. "Reveal yourself!" My face goes numb. She can tell. "This isn't you!- Show me who you are." My heart is tingling in my chest. If I reveal myself, she'll leave Hermione alone. But my cover will be blown. I don't hesitate to allow my disguise to flicker away.
