Voldemort's Return: A Family Reunited

Chapter 4

There was a crack as someone apparated into the dark, damp room. She could hear the hiss of a snake and rattling of chains against the wall. Zelina reached down and pet the Frosty Blue King Cobra that curled around her feet affectionately.

"Hello, Frostbite. It's been so long hasn't it? Have you been keeping our guest company?" Zelina greeted.

She walked over to the figure chained up against the wall and tilted his head up towards the light.

"You will not get away with this Zelina," The boy exclaimed "She's bound to notice sooner or later."

"Oh trust me, my sister is falling for my little trick perfectly," Zelina replied "And once I've gotten to her, there will be no one left to stop me."

Zelina released the boy and stepped back a few paces.

"Now let's have a bit of fun, shall we? Crucio!" Zelina shouted pointing her wand at him.

The boy screamed as the flash of red light collided with him.

Amy woke up on the couch, slowly blinking out he light. As her vision came into focus she could see Aaron talking to one of the Azkaban guards by the door. His face looked like he was worried but, Amy couldn't tell what he was saying. Slowly she sat up wincing at the pain that struck in her ankle. Aaron looked over at Amy and rushed over to her hurriedly.

"Are you okay Amy? You were thrown against a wall pretty hard." Aaron asked.

"I'm fine, its just my ankle. I think it might just be sprained." Amy replied.

Amy looked over where the guards were to see that they had already left to locate where Zelina was hiding.

"Don't worry Amy, I've made sure that they won't hurt her," Aaron assured "Can you walk?"

"I think so." Amy replied.

Amy swung her feet over the side of the couch and slowly lifted herself into a standing position. She tried to take one step but collapsed under the weight on her ankle. Aaron immediately caught her and sat her back down on the couch.

"Stay here. I'll be right back I'm going to get your father. He's good with potions so he may be able to help your ankle." Aaron ordered.

Amy watched as Aaron walked out of the room. Soon after, Aaron came walking in with Snape following close behind them. As they got closer Amy could see that Snape was holding a small vial in his hand. Snape held out the vial to Amy. Amy took it and looked at Snape expectantly.

"It's a basic healing potion. Drink it and your ankle will heal faster. It may not be much but, its something." Snape explained.

Amy opened the vial and drank the potion. She potion was foul tasting as she gulped it down.

"That tastes awful!" Amy exclaimed as she spat out the taste.

"Sorry, the taste can't be helped." Snape replied.

Amy held on tightly to the arm of the couch as she stood up. She then started walking, with a slight limp, up to her room.

"Here let me help you." Aaron offered.

Aaron helped Amy up to her room. She stopped at the door and faced Aaron.

"I got it from here Aaron." Amy explained.

"Okay...but stay off that ankle. " Aaron replied.

Amy opened the door and hobbled into the room.

Amy sat at the bay window in her room. She gazed out at London absent-mindedly. Thoughts started flooding into her head about how Lilian had looked at her when she revealed that Zelina was her sister. Her mind felt as if it were flooded with memories buried deep within her. Amy thought about when she had first met Aaron and how he had helped her. She then thought about when he was returned to her. Amy was then sucked into a flashback of that exact moment. She observed the scene, paused at the moment she first saw him. Amy walked over to Aaron but, noticed something about his eyes were different. She looked closer and found that they were not Aaron's eyes.
