Claire wept as she clutched a pillow to her chest on the floor of her room in Blackthorn Castle. Izzy stared at the girl with her tiny arms crossed across her chest. The elf was growing impatient with Claire' weeping. "Miss needs to forget about Master Snape and focus on the task at hand." The tiny elf snapped causing Eliza to be startled from her tears. "The Dark Lady is distracting Mistress and Mistress is letting her!" The elf's ears perked up suddenly then lowered as the elf grew with rage. "Izzy will not let Mistress sit here wallowing in self pitty while the Dark Lady has just murdered Miss McGonagal and kidnap Mr. Weasley!" Claire grew shocked and then furious as she rose, her eyes black as ink. Izzy realized her mistake. "Mistress can not! Mistress is not ready!" Izzy squeaked as she grabbed the hem of Claire's dress and pulled only to be dragged behind. "Eliza has to be stopped!" Claire shouted, turning on the elf that let go of Claire's dress causing her to fall on her back. "The Dark Lady will be stopped but Mistress is not ready to take her on. Mistress must wait."
"FOR WHAT?! Eliza could be torturing George right now!" Claire shouted frantically. Izzy scrambled to her feet. "Mistress could be killed!" Izzy argued. "I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE ABOUT ME! I WOULD RATHER DIE SAVING GEORGE THEN LET ELIZA TORTURE HIM!" Claire bellowed. To her surprise the elf beamed and clapped it's hands together. "Then Mistress is ready." The elf said happily causing Claire to be confused and then a look of understanding. "I wasn't ready until I realized the fate of others was more important then my own." Claire stated causing the elf to nod. Claire smiled and got into her bed. "Tomorrow Eliza will pay." Claire mumbled tiredly as she drifted off to sleep. Izzy smiled and snapped her fingers, changing Claire into her pajamas.
Eliza turned to the large group of Death Eaters that all stood outside of the the historical red phone booth. "Today is the day that history repeats it's self," A couple of older Death Eaters cheered. "As my father did before me, I shall kill the Minister.... Many of you will die but you are paving the way to our future! You ARE our future." She said causing everyone to cheer. "Lets take the Ministry!" She shouted. The first wave of Death Eaters Disapparated. Bellatrix stood beside Eliza. "Why don't we all go?" She asked impatiently. Eliza smirked. "You always send out the pawns to slaughter in the game of chess, Bella. That's how you can determine your enemy's strategy." Bellatrix crackled in delight as Eliza smirked, watching the remainder Death Eaters start to get antsy. Suddenly a Death Eater Apparated in front of them, out of breath and covered in blood. "Thousands of Aruars, my Lady! Some from other Ministries. They were waiting for us." He whispered histaricly. Eliza nodded. "Anyone else?" The Death Eater cringed at first before answering. "The remaining members of The Order of The Phoenix." Some Death Eaters gave looks of fear. "And my sister?" Eliza questioned. The Death Eater shook his head causing Eliza to smile. "Perfect." Bellatrix walked forward. "Lets go take us a Ministry!" She shouted. Death Eaters backed away cowardly causing Bellatrix to shout at them. Eliza sighed. "I will handle this then." Eliza Disparate.
She appeared in the legendary lobby of the Ministry of Magic and was faced with the Aurars the Death Eater had warned her of. The dead Death Eaters scattered around her causing her to tsk. "Pitty." She said before looking up at Kingsley Shacklebolt, who stepped forward with his wand at his side. "Eliza Salazar Riddle, you are charged with of the Responsibility of the London Massacre and the deaths of many Muggles. Turn your self over now and you shall receive a fair trial." Eliza sighed as she subtly gripped her wand tighter. "I expected more from you, Minister. I hoped you of all people would understand what I am trying to do." Eliza noticed some Aurars raise their wands. "What you have done and are doing is madness." Kingsley said calmly. Eliza pouted, made a noise of sadness, and then started to crackle histaricly. "She's gone mad, he has!" An Aurar shouted. Eliza thrusted her wand towards him and killed him with a non-verbal curse. That's when the chaos broke loose and Death Eaters started to Apparate in and aid their leader. A group of Aurars broke away with Kingsley guarded in the middle of them. Eliza saw and turned to Bellatrix who also noticed. "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" Eliza barked. Bellatrix nodded and a group of Death Eaters near her went off. Eliza blocked spells and fired curses as she fought off Aurars from left and right.
