Iniquity Approaches Book 2 of Iniquity Series~Complete~

Ch. 51

I could feel everybody's eyes on me as time ticked away.

As it did, I felt my annoyance increase while they watched my every move.

'Why is everybody looking at me?' I thought, sighing tiredly while keeping my eyes on the scenery as we flew past it.

'They're waiting for you to divulge on what occurred outside before you walked in with the guys and I.' Tom replied amused, keeping his eyes on the book on his lap.

I could feel the scowl begin to pull on my lips as I let out an exasperated sigh.

Finally, after another few minutes of the same thing, I heard Bellatrix let out a  frustrated groan.

"Alright, out with it, woman! What did you do? What happened? Why did you come back in with the boys trailing behind you? Where did you go off to?" She babbled, bouncing in her seat from the anticipation.

"I find the word boys quite offensive." Bastan said put off. "We're men." He muttered, pouting and crossing his arms over his chest like a petulant child.

"Pfft. Men? Right, well... A true man doesn't complain about anything. You complain about everything." She scoffed, rolling her eyes towards the ceiling.

Seeing this was going to become one of their annoying squabbles, I quickly cut them off.

"Alright, that's enough...Nothing happened. You all know, how I hate when people who wail on others just because they think they're superior, throw in the mix of blood status and it'll piss me right off." I replied, looking at her, watching as her eyes widened.

"But Warren is a mudblood, she did deserve what Hornby did to her." Rodolphus interjected.

I set my gaze on him for a second, before quickly putting an impenetrable spell around the small compartment, and a silencing spell.

Without even looking at him I flicked my wrist, listening as he fell out of his seat.

"You'd think that one would wait before interrupting so rudely." I said, exhaling dramatically as I watched him twitch.

"Well, go on. Out with it...!Finish telling us what you were saying..." Bella said, looking at me impatiently, as she was practically bouncing in her seat impatiently.

"Hornby was running her mouth. When she saw me, she automatically turned her attention towards me, and tried to keep running her mouth once more about blood status and all the other stupid things she could think of. I haven't the least idea on how she found out about me growing up in an orphanage, but she crossed the line." I said, trying to calm down.

Tom, who was sitting next to me, grabbed my hand squeezing it, willing me to calm down.

I took an extra-long breath before continuing, but before I could utter anymore words, Bastan noticed me struggling to keep calm, and decided to finish explaining himself.

"She started insulting Anna, here, who in return told her that she at least knew who her parents were." Bastan informed them, growing amused.

"Then she proceeded to say that her father must be a muggle because no sane male wizard would willingly touch, let alone fuck her mother." He finished, letting out a howl of laughter as he did so.

Everyone in the compartment began laughing, loudly. As I felt Tom poke my arm, nodding his head towards Rod, who was still twitching on the floor, lips clenched tightly. I nodded, as my fingers twitched and he stopped twitching, laying there for a second before he got up slowly.

"It was rather entertaining watching Hornby fly back and land on her dimwitted friends." Tom mused, as he looked at me with a smirk on his lips.

"Tell me about it. She didn't even move as Hornby flew back." Bastan said.

I rolled my eyes at them before turning back to stare out the window, I could see as the sun began to change from a bright illumination to bright oranges, yellows, pinks, and purples as it began to set once more.

I felt as my eyes begin to grow heavy as the trip continued.

Before I knew it, I was being shaken awake by Andromeda.

I looked around to realize that we were now pulling into King's Cross Station in London.

I slowly gathered my things before exiting the train after Andromeda.

Tom was waiting for me by the portal as I exited the train. He inclined his head, to show me that he had gather my trunk along with his onto a trolley. I smiled in thanks before adjusting the handle on my bag on my shoulder.

"I'll see you sometime this week if not the next. Take care." Andi said, pulling me into a fierce hug before heading back towards her family.

I could still feel the smile spread on my face as I reached Tom.

He shook his head in amusement before pushing the cart out of the platform, before we headed towards the exit of the station.

I carefully pulled my trunk off from the trolley, and Chloe in her cage, careful not to jolt the cage too much; then proceeded to follow Tom carefully out the door, trying to keep his pace without falling splat on the ground.

I was so concentrated on keeping up with Tom that I didn't notice when the sound of his steps disappeared.

I stopped for a second to figure out where he went, when I was suddenly yanked to the side, causing all my things to splay on the ground.

Poor Chloe was twittering angrily, nipping at her cage erratically.

"Sorry." I mumbled apologetically, slowly straightening out her cage.

"Quit messing around, Anna, we have to leave before we attract unwanted attention." Tom said in annoyance, from behind me.

I rolled my eyes at him before, straightening up and picking my things up from the ground.

I then let Chloe out of her cage, smiling as she swept into the sky before coming back and landing on my arm.

"Go to Malfoy Manor. I'll see you there." I told her, giving her a snack before I watched her as she flew away.

"Shrink her cage, and your trunk and dump them into your bag, we need to apparate quickly." He said, as he let out his owl and did the same thing.

I quickly set to work, putting Chloe's cage into a plastic wrapper before lowering it into my bag, and then putting my trunk into the bag. I could hear Tom grumbling about my pace, as I lowered my trunk into my bag, and before he finally grew tired of my pace and grabbed my arm roughly straightening my body before apparating.

I felt as the floor disappeared from under my feet, and the pull at my navel.

Everything seemed to swirl around me, I could feel my eyes wanting to roll to the back of my head at the unexpected feeling.

My stomach going into a fit of nausea.

When the floor appeared beneath my feet again I felt the floor suddenly appear next to my face, as my head unexpectedly slammed into the ground.

The last thing I saw was Tom's figure as it rushed towards me, before blackness seeped into my line of vision. Rendering me unconscious.
