Bellatrix's daughter in love with Neville Longbottom.

Chapter 9-Sweet determination

~Neville's POV~

"Yes Thorne's initiation ball" Coraline said as she sat with me by the windowsill of 'my room' "It's to celebrate her becoming a death eater" she said softly and I scowled darkly. "The dark lord will be there to give her a task to complete before she gets the mark" she whispered.

"What's the task?" I asked curiously, she shrugged softly "I have no idea...but from what mistress has been saying, I think it involves you"

"Me? Why me?" I ask in shock feeling my stomach churn "I have no idea" Coraline admitted "so I'm not just here to be Thorne's plaything am I?" I asked, the feeling in my stomach telling me that maybe playing bloodtraitor was better than what was in store.
Coraline didn't answer, she just stood "if you're okay to walk I can show you what you'll be doing to prepare for it and how to act around her so that this-" she said nodding to the bed and touching her own bruise "-doesn't happen again"

I sighed, I didn't care about me, they could torture me all they wanted it wouldn't stop me. However Thorne's threat to Coraline made me stop and sigh "alright" I finally agreed. Coraline smiled softly and took my hand leading me out of the room and down the corridors "well, first off, your master dresses you" she said "the purebloods use these balls to show off their slaves...uh, usually with very m-minimalistic attire" she said with a bright red blush "Mistress Bellatrix is quite decent though, sometimes" she said softly "I don't know what Thorne is like...she hasn't had her own slave before" she said softly. I frowned at that "That's disgusting" I muttered. "Well, at least you don't belong to Greyback" she said with a shiver "his slaves arrive practically naked" she said.

"This is where the ball will be held, we will have to clean it up a little later" she said softly.

I nodded and sighed looking at Coraline softly "how long have you been here?" I asked gently. "A few months" she said quietly, "It could be worse". I failed to see how any of this could be worse; I had lost my friends to either death or the same fate, I now 'belonged' to a sadistic, mental witch who was the daughter of and even more mental killer....yes, my situation was peachy. "I don't know about that" I reply and look at the huge ball room. "We have house elves to help, Bellatrix still has a few, though I heard her t-talking about replacing them with muggleborns" she said sounding hopeless.

"Coraline, I am going to get us out of here alright? I'll find a way" I promised in a whisper, with harry gone someone had to take charge, and I would do what I did at hogwarts, fight.

"No no no no no" Coraline said quickly, the expression on her face looked horrified. "Coraline we can't stay here and sit by while they destroy our world" I said and took her hands looking at her "it will all be okay, I'll figure something out" I promised and Coraline simply nodded her head, looking pale. "Shh" I whispered and quickly hugged the trembling small girl.

~Thornes POV~
I turned the corner and froze in shock, I felt my face go red and my fists clench by my side as I cleared my throat loudly. Coraline jumped high in the air and stepped away from the embrace she had shared with Neville. "Mis-" "shut up" I snapped harshly with a hiss "Go to mother, tell her what you have done" I said simply and this time she turned green "Mistress please" she whispered weakly and Neville stood in front of her which made my nails dig into my palms "move.pet." I ordered through gritted teeth. Neville simply glared "leave her alone" he said boldly.

I snapped.
