The Darkest Star

Chapter 22: Andromeda Walburga Black

          as I entered the astronomy tower from below in the secret passage, I was on the hunt for potter although I didn't have to look far he was right in front of me. I immediately fired a spell,

          "reducto!" he was fast he pulled out his wand

          "protego!" suddenly I saw Draco and Lyra above us I hissed irritated

         "immobulus" I hissed, he froze, now was my chance,

         "crucio" he writhed, unable to scream or move I smiled, finally letting him out of the curse, walking over I drew my swords from my back, dragging one across his face.

         "Never forget who is in charge potter, you will lose, so I suggest you give up now before we slaughter everyone you love" I giggled, I could clearly see the anger in his eyes. 

         "Andromeda!" Bella called me, I let out a laugh and ran in the other direction. I stood beside her, my blood-drenched sword in one hand, the other on my back, my wand in my other hand. Draco dropped his wand I hissed stepping forwards raising my own towards him, but Bella held me back, "no, they have to do it!" she hissed, I huffed stepping back. only to find that Severus had stepped in and taken my moment, I snarled. but soon I was laughing hysterically as he fell, down down, off the tower. Bella let out a shrill laugh as we ran through the halls once more, Draco and ly in the center of our little huddle, hidden out of harm's way. I continued to spew dark curses at passing students. my sword still in my hand we entered the great hall, Bellatrix and I both jumped up on a table, I pulled a dazed Ly up behind me. I kicked plates, goblets and cutlery around laughing, once I had reached the end of what was the Slytherin table I used a knife to carve my name into the table, I slammed it down wedging the bloodied metal into the wood. Bellatrix shrieked a spell, causing all the windows to break, raining glass down, the candles all went out. Dolohov grabbed us each by the arm dragging us out once we had reached the fields we were almost at Hogsmeade, little potter and his stupid pride thought he could stop us.

        "Harry, don't," ly said,

          "ooooooo lookie here Lyra Malfoy protecting little old potter!" I shrieked we all cackled, ly hid. harry started shouting curses and yelling at sec.

          "oi! potter, I don't have time for this shit so take you and your filthy self away from my presence! unworthy bastard" I hissed, Bella grabbed me to stop me from charging at him, I was already holding a blade, we apparated away in a puff of black smoke.

           I sat in the Malfoy manor library reading my potion book and stirring the bubbling cauldron, my hand on my hip, my hair tied into a perfect ponytail. I was surrounded by vials and supplies, I had been given the task of making Voldemorts potions, I was brewing constantly, my hair had turned to a greasy blood-matted mess after my days work. I was currently brewing my fifth batch of draught of living death of the day. I was wearing a pair of black faded mom jeans and a tucked-in Beatles t-shirt, my leather jacket was thrown on my chair behind me, I groaned in frustration as my arm started to cramp. ten minutes later I poured the potion into several vials, groaning as I collapsed into my chair, my cat rubbed against my foot, purring. I patted her head lightly. Bella stormed in, Yaxley, peter Pettigrew and an anxious-looking ly following. 

          "ah, there you are, I have a mudblood and a special mission for you two!" she pointed to both ly and I. I jumped up excited,

          "ooooo what is it! is it murder!?" I smiled darkly

          "well, you need to torture this muggle boy, no info is needed from him and you and Lyra-Bella need to go with the snatchers to find the spottings we have seen on the Potter boy," Yaxley said bored. 

          "well, shit lets go" I stood pulling my jacket on and walked out, shoulder checking Yaxley on the way out,

          "who does she think she is?" Pettigrew whispered I stopped, turning around slowly

            "who am I? I am Andromeda Walburga Black, of the wealthy noble house of black, pureblood Slytherin, death eater, known murderer and killer" I was slowly stalking closer to him, I walked over to my worktable, I grabbed my sword, glancing over my shoulder. "and I. am better than you in any and every way imaginable, so if I were you I would recommend, shutting your fucking mouth" I pointed my sword at him, Bella cackled as we both walked out, ly tailing behind. 

           "arse, who am I!? little shit" I growled, ly wrapped an arm around me, I roughly shoved her off, walking away briskly. snarling at passing people. I walked into the basement to the cells spotting a muggle boy about the same age as me, I snarled grabbing him.

          "you're coming with me little shit" he whimpered

           "Please, I didn't do anything, I don't know who you people are but I didn't do anything, I don't know anything I swear!" he kept pleading 

          "oh trust me I know very well of your obliviousness, that's why this will be so fun for me" I replied darkly, I shoved him to the ground of the ballroom, which had become a temporary torture space for me. I pulled out my swords setting an array of knives on the table. the boy shook in the corner. I stalked towards him

          "I would explain what's going on but all things considered there's no point you'll be dead" he started crying

           "pathetic" I hissed I flipped the knife I held in my hand before I plunged it into his abdomen, he screamed loud and echoing. I let him bleed out for a while before healing his wound only to stab him again in the same spot this time, twisting the blade hooking it a little. this continued for an hour, stab, heal, stab, heal, stab, heal. by the end, he was white in the face, covered in blood, crying to hysterics, he had multiple healed and unhealed wounds on his body, some still bleeding out. he passed out I left him to bleed out for a while longer, he woke up half an hour later to find me with a knife held to his neck, my matted hair shrouding my face. he let out a scream before I slit his throat. the blood oozed onto my hands. I heard someone enter the room, I turned to find ly looking tiered and unamused,

          "feeling better now?" she said dryly I let out a happy sigh as I wiped my palms on my jeans

          "much" I left the room to change. 

~~~~two hours later~~~~

          I ran through the forest, away from sight before grabbing Ly by the arm as I apparated us away. we entered the manor to find everyone in a panic, I walked till I found Narcissa pacing in the entryway,

          "what is going on!" I shouted enraged

          "he's coming, he's coming here! oh, Andromeda how did you manage to get covered in blood again!" Ly ran to her mother

          "who!? who's coming here!" she looked at her an absolute look of fear on her face

          "Voldemort"
