bellatrix malfoy (sequel to dracos little sister)

chapter 10

to keep a log story short professor flitwich was anythig but happy when he found out I had fallen asleep in his class. how he found out?. turned out I had apparated out of the classroom and into the library. I gave madame pince quite a fright.

anyway.  I ended up with a detention with professor mcgonnigal. which was where I was heading now. I enter her room to find I was the only one there. oh brilliant.

"miss malfoy" she nods "you will be helping me turn this pile of failed assesments back into cups"

she pulls out a huge box and places it on the table.

I nod knowing I had gotten off lightly. I sit down on the seat next to her and take out my wand. we begin wordlessly hanging the cups which had either a fluffy cup or a tail or sometimes both.

"you gave madame pinch quite a surprise" mcgonnigal says.

"yeah" I say quietly.

"professor flitwich tells me you fell asleep" she says.

"yes" I say again. 

"and you apparated within hogwarts whilst asleep" she asks

"yes professor" I mutter.

"and your dream what was that about" she asks.

"dream?" I lie "what dream?"

"now bellatrix we both know that isnt true" she says.

I sigh. "I was standig in a dark room. it looked like the shrieking shack. there was only a single chair in the room and two masked people stood guarding the door. there was someone on the chair. he was talking about some letter I had recieved. I asked him who he was. Not very plesently.  he said I shouldnt be talking to him like that especially when he had draco. they brought draco in. he looked like he had been tortured.  the man started saying I was important for their cause because I was part of a number of old and powerful families. the first female to be born from them. he said I was important but draco wasnt. he sent a curse at him and thats when I woke up in the library"

she stares at me a moment before returning to the spells.

in the silence I have time to think about everything. the first thing that pops into my mind was why I kept popping up in random places. with a jolt of shock I realise they werent random. the clearing I had woken up in had been the one where harry hadd been 'killed' in. I had landed next to freds grave. not anyone elses. the library. their had to be somethig there.

I drop the cup I had finished transfiguring as the realisation hits me.

"bellatrix" mcgonnigal asks "are you alright"

"maybe?" I ask. 

"are you comig down with somthing" she asks.

"no no. I might have just figured something out though" I state "about why everyone thinks im so powerful"

"youcan go as soon as we have finished these" she nods to the box. I was in too mich of a hurry so I quickly nodded and the cups changed back.

she stares at the box in surprise

"bye professor" I say already racing off towards the library.

for the next few weeks I rarely leave the library. I only have time to grab some food and race back to the library. I had been searching the books row by row and so far I had found nothing.

I was in the library one saturday when draco found me.

"trixie" he says "where on earth have you been."
