The Marauder's heiress returns

Healing and last preparations.

The results of the trial appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet the very next day, with pictures of the five individuals who had been released from Azkaban due to being placed under the imperius curse in the war. The magical world was split in two, some sympathizing with them while others simply refused to believe that people who had caused such violence and harm could be anything but guilty. The prophet briefly mentioned Adelaide's statement towards Dumbledore, claiming Bellatrix as a member of her family, which also sent the world into a frenzy. However, what made the whole situation worse was when it was revealed that Barty Crouch Sr had not only taken his son out of Azkaban and replaced him with his dying wife who was polyjuiced to look like their son, but he Crouch Lord had kept his Barty Jr under the imperius curse for a long period.

The family who had attended the trial had to get the five newly released prisoners out of the ministry without overwhelming them, as well as avoiding the minister and Dumbledore who had been searching for the group, according to Mortem. Once returned to Potter Manor, they were all escorted towards the newly formed hospital wing where they received well-needed potions to help with their malnourishment and then dreamless sleep. Adelaide's papa had immediately called Andromeda, who had trained and worked as a mind healer for a few years before opening her law firm with her husband, Edward.

"How long will it take for them to be better?" Luna asked Narcissa as she hovered around Evan Rosier's bedside.

"It depends on the patient, Miss Lovegood" Cissa answered patiently while checking Evan's for any signs of changes.

"Lord Rosier will be the first" Luna spoke with such conviction it made the older blonde pause, looking over at the blonde with a raised eyebrow. "Uncle Reggie will be thrilled"

"Stop! No no no, please!" Narcissa immediately rushed over to her sister's bedside, concern written all over her face as she tried to calm the hysterical woman. Since they arrived a few days prior, they were plagued with violent outbursts that often resulted in Adelaide putting them into a deep sleep.

"Go and get Adelaide!" Luna nodded and immediately ran out of the room, returning a few minutes later with Adelaide, who calmly walked towards her Aunt Bella and began to slowly stroke her curly hair.

"Shhh, Aunt Bella. You aren't there anymore, you're safe" She placed her palm on Bella's forehead and pushed some calming magic, and immediately the witch stopped thrashing and calmed against the mattress.

"Her first session is tomorrow. I don't understand why she is a lot worse than the others" said Andromeda as she approached, looking down at her younger sister in concern.

"It's the black madness-" They turned and noticed Sirius and Regulus enter, making Luna slip away as she felt it was a family matter. "Bella was put under many curses growing up, it seems to have triggered it"

"Let's not forget about being under the imperius, that shit will drive anyone crazy" Adelaide nudged her papa, sighing at his nonchalant tone. They all knew he cared deeply about his cousin as the pair were extremely close before he arrived at Hogwarts, but he still struggled to express his emotions towards anyone except Regulus, Adelaide and Remus.

"He's right" a hoarse voice was heard from the next bed where Bella's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange lay. Narcissa rushes over while Regulus pours him a glass of water, helping him slowly sip it.

"Well, you've gained a few pounds which is a good sign, and your broken bones have been healed by our Adelaide. You had-"

"Whose Adelaide?" The man asked with a confused frown, looking around at the family that surrounded his bed, only to stop as he made contact with bright green eyes.
