Emulator (Twilight/Harry Potter Crossover) - Book 7

Chapter 20

Lexi's POV

We were dragged off to Malfoy Manor by the Snatchers. I think I would've much preferred being sent to the Ministry. I mean, who knows what's going to happen?

Once we reached the creepy-looking mansion, I then realised how rich the Malfoys must be. Rich and narcissistic.

As we came to the gate, one of my favourite people (note the sarcasm) came to greet us.

"I see you've caught them," Bellatrix stated, looking at each of us, resting her gaze on me when I gave her a death stare. If looks could kill, she'd definitely be six-feet under right now.

We were taken inside and faced with the Malfoys, including their son. But was surprised me was that Draco wasn't cheering that we had been caught and may even be killed. He looked quite depressed. 

Draco was forced to analyse Harry's face to check if it was him. The first thing he asked was,

"What's wrong with his face?"

"What is wrong with his face?" Bellatrix questioned, turning her gaze to Hermione and I standing on the other side of the room, still held by Snatchers. "Did one of you do this?" She asked

She started to slowly walk towards us, smiling devilishly, when she stopped, eyes widening. I turned to see she was eyeing the sword of Gryffindor, which one of the Snatchers was holding.

"Where did you get that?" She asked. When she received no reply, she shouted, "Answer me!"

The Snatcher holding the sword jumped a little, answering that he found it in Hermione's bag when he searched her. Bellatrix fired a charm at the Snatcher, making him fly backwards, catching the sword as it flew to her.

"Out! All of you!" She shouted at the Snatchers. When none of them moved, the turned to the lead Snatcher and choked him with a snake that flew out of her wand. When she reluctantly stopped choking the guy, the Snatchers ran off.

Her next instruction was to send the boys down into the dungeon while she chatted with 'us girls'. Chills ran down my spine and my stomach recoiled as I started to feel nauseous.

"Lexi!" Harry shouted, being dragged down the stairs.

I looked at him forlornly, unable to change anything, as he disappeared downstairs.

Harry's POV

"What are we going to do? We can't leave Bellatrix alone with Hermione and Lexi! That's like leaving a troll to babysit!" Ron shouted.

"I don't know!" I shouted at Ron.

"Harry? Ron?" A familiar voice asked.

"Luna?" I asked back, instantly recognising the voice.

I stopped, flinching when I heard feminine screams. Agonized screams mixed with crying.

Lexi's POV

"Let's have a chat, shall we? Girl on girl," Bellatrix stood in front of us, mere inches away from our faces. I flinched away from her, knowing how sadistic she can be.

Bellatrix suddenly cast a spell over Hermione and I, one which I didn't know. She saw my confused look and explained with a sadistic grin on her face.

"The spell I just cast, it's quite handy as when I harm this mudblood--" I growled at her, but stopped as she ran her sharp nail down Hermione's arm. My arm started stings and throbbing and I looked to see an identical nail mark down my arm, even though Bellatrix hadn't touched me. "--it also harms the other mudblood,"

I could feel blood running down my arm. I realised that Hermione and I were screwed. With that spell, Bellatrix could, and would, inflict a heap of pain on Hermione and I would also feel it.

She grabbed me around the neck and chucked me across the floor, so I was laying on my back on the ground. My head was now also throbbing as Hermione was thrown to the ground as well.

"Now, how did you find the sword of Gryffindor? It was supposed to be in my vault in Gringotts!" She yelled, pacing back and forth at me and Hermione's feet. 

My breathing sped up as I grew more and more terrified. I could tell Hermione felt the same way.

Bellatrix suddenly stopped at my feet and climbed on top of me, grabbing my face in her hand. Her nails were digging into my flesh. I could hear Hermione wincing and gasping to my left as she felt my pain as well.

She moved her face so that it was less than an inch from mine and started questioning me again.

"What else did you take from my vault, thief?!"

I burst out in sobs as she dug her nails in further.

"We didn't take anything!" I sobbed.

"I don't believe you," Her sadistic grin grew as she lent over, holding my arm. I felt her wand touch my arm, but squeezed my eyes shut as her wand cut into my arm, like a blade was attached to the tip of it.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, the pain in my arm was more painful than anything I'd ever felt. Hermione was screaming next to me too, both of us writhing in pain, the only difference being that Bellatrix was holding me down, still carving something into my arm.

Ron's POV

"We have to do something!" After hearing Hermione's scream, I was shaken to the core. I was willing to do anything to stop that sadistic bitch from hurting Hermione any further. And I was certain that Harry felt the same way about Bellatrix torturing Lexi.

The only thing that confused me was that Hermione and Lexi were screaming at the same time, like Bellatrix was torturing them both simultaneously. How was she able to do that?

I didn't dwell on that too much as I look to Harry, Luna, Ollivander and Griphook.

"There's no way out of here. We already tried everything! It's enchanted," Ollivander answered.

"Please, please stop!" Lexi cried. "Please!"

"Shut up!" Bellatrix shouted.

She sobbed, but her sobs cut off and blood-curdling screams took their place.

We all heard it; it's not hard when Lexi was shouting, and then both Hermione and Lexi were screaming. Harry was just as tortured as I was; hearing your girlfriend being tortured and not being able to stop it.

Lexi and Hermione were still screaming, but we were alerted when someone started walking towards the dungeon door.

Pettigrew.

He opened it, telling Harry and I to back away.

"You, goblin, come with me," 

Griphook walked forward silently and out the door, as Pettigrew shut it, locking it with an enchantment.

Suddenly, an unlikely friend showed up, apparating into the dungeon.

"Dobby, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.
