Solving the Nott

Chapter 4|

The old stairs leading up to the Lestrange Manor were creaking at every move the Death Eaters made. They reached the gates which squeaked loudly at the sudden movement. The Dark Lord's followers stepped inside the broken down house, the woman breathing in the air of her old home.

Her eyes glistened wildly and she rasped, "Home sweet home!"

"Right you are, Bella!" A man praised.

Bellatrix smiled wickedly, "Aren't I always?"

The man didn't answer to her, instead he levitated the prisoners shackled to each other. Every single one of them looked to be very malnourished and beaten. Some even looked close to death.

"Lock 'em in the dungeons, Yaxley!" Rabastan grunted, waving his hands towards the stairs leading down to the dungeons.

Another man walked over to the long, broken table. He repaired it in an instant, "Reparo!" The dusty old table turned into a mahogany, clean and shiny one. It looked as if it had been bought the day before. He ran his long fingers along the table till he reached the end, where he sat, taking out a piece of parchment.

"The plans, Rudolphus?" Bellatrix drawled, lazily.

Rudolphus Lestrange smoothed the parchment which showed the detailed plans neatly labelled on the parchment. "Where do we begin?"

Theodore was searching frantically for his wand, he always had it, no matter what. He slept with it, ate with it, even had it next to him in the loo, everywhere! Where is it! He thought, panicking. How daft can I be! Wandless magic you idiot!

"Accio wand!" He bellowed, his deep voice echoing throughout the walls of Nott Manor.

His cherry wood wand came flying towards him, nearly hitting him straight in the face. Theo groaned and cleaned his teeth with his wand, utilising it as a muggle would a toothbrush. Although, he had no idea what a toothbrush was.

He flicked his wand effortlessly and the water started in the shower, he jumped in the shower and cleaned up. Soon enough, he was done, in the living room of his manor with no shirt and his hair wet.

Theodore walked to the kitchen and waved his wand, all the ingredients needed were now neatly lined up in front of him. "Thank Merlin it's Saturday!"

Then, he was notified that someone had come though the floo system. He hastily picked up his wand and ran over to the fireplace, forgetting that he didn't have a shirt on. Theodore saw a woman with bushy hair pop out of the fireplace, "Granger! Don't do that on Saturdays! You gave me quite a scare there!"

"Sorry! It's an urgent matter!" Hermione apologised, blushing due to Theodore's lack of clothes.

She looked down, ignoring his well built chest and six pack. "Do put a shirt on though!"

Theo looked down and smirked, "Nah, I'm good."

"Theodore! Please! It's very unprofessional!" Hermione stammered.

Theodore winked at her and stepped closer, "But, I don't need to be professional on a Saturday, do I?"

Hermione looked up, face red, "Oh, whatever! Do what you want!"

    "Anyways, I think I may have found the place that the Death Eaters are staying at, while I was viewing memories of different people, I managed to get the location. Although, I'm not sure it is correct," Hermione explained, searching for a file.

    Theo looked dumbfounded, she had been working her arse off while he was sulking in his bedroom. "That's great, Hermione!" He lightly took the file from her small hand, their fingers accidentally brushing against each other.
