Dark Blood

Chapter 23

"Lets make this clear... You messed up!?" A voice hissed in the dark room as a woman's whimpers filled the room. "I... I'm sorry my lord they put me under veritasirum I tried so hard... I would've never willingly betray you!!"

The woman swore as the man nodded. "I know but that doesn't change what happened!" The woman nodded "I know my lord, I'm so sorry! I swear I will do whatever it takes to make up for my mistake." The woman was weak with blood dripping from her fingers but her voice was filled with conviction.

"I know that is why you will pretend to be on Dumbledores side. You will spy on him and tell me everything that happens. You will if needed marry someone to prove your loyalty but you will tell me everything. I don't care what you have to do you will do it!" The man ordered and the woman nodded. "I will my lord I promise."

Suddenly the tourches lit up to reveal a man with raven hair and red eyes, and a woman with crazy black hair and soft brown hair. She could have passed off as Bellatrix Lestrange but her eyes didn't hold the craziness that Bellatrix's did. Her body was covered in blood and her dress was torn in places. It was obvious she had been tortured.

"My dear Andromeda I wish to not do this you are a dear friend but I need someone on the inside. You haven't publicly spoken your loyalty to me therefore it will be easier for you to sneak in under the public's eye. I don't want to do this to you but you know that none of the others would rest until you have some sort of punishment. Just know I do this with a heavy heart I am sorry but it's the way it must be."

" I understand my lord and I will do the best I can. Just please let my sisters know that I have not betrayed them and I will always follow the Teachings of the House of black. Toujours Pur."

The man nodded to Andromeda and with a wave of his wand healed her wounds. Andromeda stood up conviction shining in her eyes. " may I have today to say goodbye my Lord it may be some years before I can see my sister's again." The man nodded " I will grant you that but by 9 o'clock you will flu to Hogwarts and swear your loyalty to Albus. Tell him I tortured you tell him anything he needs to know you may even tell him of several bases as long as they are not in you the main ones it will look suspicious if you do not know anything."

Andromeda sighed she did not want to portray her Lord even upon his commands but this is what he had told her to do and that is what she would do. "Thank you my Lord I swear I shall not fail." With that she bowed and left the room to tell her sisters the news and to reassure them that no matter what she had to do she would always be loyal to the dark lord and to her family.

The man side running his hand through his Raven hair as a woman with hair the colour of fire walked into the room. "It is ok my love you did the right thing we need to know what is going on she may even learn some leads about Cynthia." A man took the woman in his arms just holding her gave him comfort. " I know but it still pains me to do so. I know she would never willingly betray me and I know that those bastards would have done anything to learn even a scrap of knowledge." The woman kissed cheek.

" Tom it feels like a huge part of my heart has been ripped out I don't know how much longer I can pretend that I'm OK. I'm breaking apart I can feel it and it hurts to see Narcissa and Lucius with Draco. I don't know if I can stand being around people Tom I feel like I'm going to just flip and kill everyone. May be best for me to just stay within our rooms. I... I can't take living in this manner without her." Tears began to fall from her beautiful saphire gold eyes heartbreak and pain was so strong that the room practically cried in agony.

"My love I don't think I can do this without you by my side I'm not as strong without you." Tom told woman as she shook her head. "Tom Marvolo Riddle you are stronger than you know." She told him smiling softly. "As are you Rosalie Riddle."

Rosalie smiled sadly "You have always been the strong one while I was the weak one, Merlin we that because you save me from my bullies. If that doesn't make me weak then what does?" Tom laughed "You would have taken care of them anyway. Besides I think we should spend time with Andromeda, Narcissa and Bellatrix before Andromeda must go." Tom took Rosalies hand and lead her out the room into the livingroom where all three sisters were sat down intertwined with each other.

" I will miss you dear sister but if it's what our lord commands then I believe it is what's best. Just... just promise you'll come back to us still our sister don't let them change you!" Narcissa's voice broke at the end of the sentance and Andromeda smiled softly. "Toujours Pur."

"Toujours Pur." Bellatrix and Narcissa chimed back. " I'm not a filthy traitor of a cousin Sirius! I will never do that ever! Family is the most important thing in the world I'd never turn that away for friends!" Andromeda declared and her sisters smiled. Tom and Rosalie slowly walked away not wanting to disturb the sisters. They would say goodbye later. They needed the time together as they didn't know how long they would go without seeing each other.

Hermione woke up the dream circling her mind. Why did she dream this? It meant nothing to her!

You dreamed it because you need to remember that your family miss you. Poor Rosalie locked herself away after Andromeda had to leave. Your own mother locked herself away.

The voice told her but Hermione brushed it off. She was not Cynthia Riddle and that was the end of it! Tomorrow she would go to the hospital wing and get herself cured of whatever mental affliction she suffered from. Then her life would once again go back to normal.
