Chapter 7:
Bellatrix Lestrange pulled me into a tight hug.
"Hi…mom…" I gasped out.
"Izzy!" She screamed into my ear. "You're back!"
I laughed and pulled away. I looked at her, taking in her wild, curly black hair and her glittering black eyes. I smiled as I realized at how much I missed her and at how much we look alike. I lookedpast her shoulder and saw Voldemort, my father, sitting at the head of the table in his snake appearance, smiling softly at the reunion between mother and daughter. I patted mom on the shoulder and started towards my father, but someone pulled me into another hug. I saw a flash of blonde hair and smiled again.
Draco.
"Hi, Dra-" He cut me off by pulling me into a kiss. I moaned at the feel of his mouth on mine.
We stayed like that for a few minutes before someone, most likely my father, coughed very loudly. We pulled apart reluctantly and we stared into each other's eyes.
Merlin, I've missed his sparkling grey eyes. I thought before turning to the person who had interrupted us. Dad was looking at me, his red eyes holding amusement, but his face remaining impassive. He raised an eyebrow. I blushed lightly and then once again started for him.
When I finally reached him, I dropped to one knee and bowed my head in respect.
"My lord," I said formally. I didn't want any of the lower DE's (A/N DE= Death Eater) to find out that I'm his daughter. I don't care if I had knocked them out. I didn't know when they would wake up and I didn't want to take any chances in case they were faking being knocked out, in hopes of gaining any useful information for the Light side.
I sent to everyone in the Inner Circle that to not release any important information. They all nodded to show me that they understood.
"Rise, my child," Voldemort said to me. "You bow to no one. We bow to you."
After he said that, everyone who was awake got down on one knee and bowed their head, just like I had done.
"Rise," I told them after a moment or two.
They did and we all sat down. I sat next to my father on his left, while mom sat on his right. Draco sat next to me, considering he was my boyfriend.
"So, what have I missed while I was in hiding?" I asked. Mom and Dad filled me in on the basics of what happened in the almost two years since I was gone.
Evidently, right after I left, Sirius Black, supposed mass murderer, escaped Azkaban, the wizard prison that was surrounded by water for 50 miles on all sides. Other stuff happened. For fourth year, the Triwizard Tournament was held at Hogwarts. Cedric Diggory, who was Edward Cullen's look-a-like, was the Champion for Hogwarts, Victor Krum from Durmstrang, a Dark Arts school in Bulgaria, and Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, a pansy ass French school. Somehow Potter was chosen as well and there was a big uproar about that, the other heads of the schools complaining that it wasn't fair that Hogwarts had two champions and they only had one each. They had an argument with Dumbledore and then finally dropped the matter. The first challenge was to get a golden egg from a dragon. They all were able to do that without getting killed. The second challenge was done in the lake nearby the school. The champions had to get something from the bottom of the lake. Delacour lost, having been attacked by the mer-people in the lake. Potter, Diggory and Viktor were all able to get their people; Potter brought up both his person and Delacour's, which earned him high marks, unfortunately. Then came the last challenge; a maze that held the trophy in the middle of it. Delacour lost within 10 minutes of entering the maze; Viktor was told before the challenge started to make sure that Potter made it to the trophy. He attacked Diggory and then was stunned by a spell. Diggory and Potter saw the trophy at the same time and both ran for it while fighting off the monsters along the way. They touched it at the same time and were transported to a graveyard. Wormtail, who was covered in a robe, instantly killed Diggory and tied Potter against a gravestone. He brought out my father, who looked like a sick baby, and dropped him into a cauldron that had appeared in the middle of a clearing. He then used ashes and bone from my dad's dad, blood from Potter's arm, and his own right hand to bring back the Dark Lord. Voldemort then called all his followers that could come and then proceeded to explain his fall from and rise back to power. Afterwards, he challenged Potter to a duel. Potter was able to use the disarming spell, Expelliarmus, on Dad just as he had done the killing curse, Avada Kedavra. Somehow, the light from the two spells met in midair and remained connected. Dad's past victims emerge from his wand and protect Potter once the connection broke. Potter managed to escape by grabbing Diggory's body and the trophy, which took them both back to Hogwarts.
