bellatrix malfoy (sequel to dracos little sister)

chapter 12

the owl lets out a squak as it flies in. I look up and my food drops from my hand and my smile drops. it was the same owl as before. the letter is dropped onto my plate and the bird flies away. again the room is silent. I dont move to touch the letter. I just stare at it a moment.

my hand is shaking as I reach out and take the letter. all eyes are on me as my hands shakily take the letter. I rip open the envelope and take the letter out.

time is up malfoy. its either you or your brother now. you know how easily we can kill him. get to the last place. NOW!.

my mind is blank as I get up from my seat stepoing far enough away from everyone and apparating away.

I land in the shrieking shack and instantly someone grabs my arms apparating us away. what in merlins name had I gotten myself into.

9 months.  thats how log trixie had been missing.  draco had woken up the day after which meant there was someone in in st mungos working for the black parade.

there had been no trace of trixie since she disapeared 9 months ago. everyone was still searching but most of them werent searching because they cared about her. word had gotten out that she was powerdul and could destroy the whole of the wizarding world and now. families were scared for their lives.

her dissapearing was hard on her friends. hardest on me and draco though. she had grown distant from the others as she got too wrapped up in this whole thing.

I would sit in the joke shop half expecting her to apparate into the shop and land ontop of one of the stands laughing her head off.

she never does. as spring turns to summer and harry ron hermione and ginny leave school the likelihood of us finding trixie get slimmer and slimmer.

my team and I stood gathered around a map.

"you see voldemort had the right idea" I say. people wince at his name. "attack hogwarts first and you get everyone fleeing to their rescue. but they werent thinking big enough. we have to split our numbers. whilst a large group attacks hogwarts another attacks st mungo's which would make everyone leave the ministry at which point the final group can take the ministry"

a nod of agreement goes up and the team begin to dissapear to get ready.

I rub my head in frustration.  every time we talked about attacking hogwarts I always got a headache. it was as if it was something I shouldnt be doing.

someone enters the room and I look up.

"headache cat" tyler asks.

"yeah" I grumble. "I just cant seem to shift it"

"you should prepare for battle" gmhe encourages "we dont have long now"

I nod and leave the board room and head for my room.

I slip out of my clothes and put on other ones that were more suitable for battle. as I do I stare at the number of scars and bruises all over me. I didnt know where I got them. the scars looked old. atleast a year or so old but the bruises looked fresh.

"come on cat" tyler calls knocking on the door.

"just coming" I yell grabbing my wand and exiting the room

"ready" he asks.

"ready" I reply
