The Other Side of the Story~~~Book 3~~~

I Am In HUGE Trouble

We walked outside. I started talking to Draco.

Remember a couple of summers ago, one of the nights.... we went out and we tried some of the spells with Mom and Dad's wands.... we caught your clothes on... wow... blurry....."

I calasped. I was losing consciousness.

"Good job, Draco. We were about to head into the school."

"Father, was it wise to use the spell first?"

"You are talking to me about wisdom?"

"I am just saying.."

"No! You are thinking about your weakness! You are her weakness as much as she is to you! Now, let's go home and let her rest. We need her to be alive for the next parts of the plan to work."

***********************************************************************************************

I woke up in my bed. I looked around. No wand. I sat up. Too quickly. I grabbed my side and leaned against the wall. My bedroom was exactly how I left it. Stacks of books to my left, my closet in front of me across the room, the desk on the wall next to it, and the wall of notes look like one piece. I slowly got out of bed and walked to the stack of books. I walked slowly. I would not be able to run away. In case anyone was outside, I walked without making a sound. I felt the wall, the chest inside the wall hadn't been open in a while. That's good. They didn't find the extra food or potions. I had a couple of Muggle tools in there too like a rope and a knife. I wouldn't be able to escape with my condition. I got back into the bed and made some sounds. Grunts, moans, rustles... anything that would make someone know I am awake. I heard some chatter outside and the rushing of feet.

A few minutes later, someone opened the door. I was sitting up. It was someone I didn't know.

"Hello, Molly."

It was a woman. She was wearing all black, had messy hair, and a crooked smile. She enjoyed torment.

"Hi."

"I am Bellatrix Lestrange. I have come to.... prepare you."

"Ya, I don't think so."

"Oh, honey. You don't have a choice."

She was sitting on my bed. Inching closer with each second. I was inching away from her.

"Don't be scared. You won't feel a thing."

"I don't believe you."

She frowned.

"I would believe me either. BRING IT IN HERE!!"

One of the servants walked in with a tray. Bellatrix Lestrange got up. 

"I would eat. We have wonderful plans for you."

"Like what?" I demanded.

"Oh. Where should I start? You will see soon enough."

She left without a backward glance. The servant looked up and I saw it was Emily. She was a good friend.

"Hello, Molly."

"Emily!! It is so good to see you."

"You too, I wish in different circumstances though."

"Don't we all."

"Here. Eat. I made it for you."

"I feel better eating it if you made it. What is going on here Emily?"

"Well. They have been ever more secret lately. We have had a lot of visitors. A couple of young ones. Like right out of Hogwarts young. They come out a couple of minutes later with white faces. Then we give them medicine. Over the semester, we had about 150 come. I think they are planning to do the same to you and Draco in a year or two. Maybe you before him. I don't know. We have a lot of people here 'visiting.' A lot of them I recognize from the Wizarding War. I think they are trying to bring You-Know-Who back."

I finished eating and we sat there in silence.

"I should go before they suspect something."

"Okay. Keep me updated?"

"Anytime. Also, Snow is in Draco's room."

I nodded and she left.

***********************************************************************************************

I stayed in my room for a couple of days. No one visited me and I didn't see Emily at all. Meals were brought up. I could now move around with no difficulty. I read a lot about the war. Bellatrix Lestrange was a Death Eater and Voldemort's most trusted servant. Maybe that was what they were doing. Growing their empire again. 

I heard a knock. The door opened and there was Draco. I smiled. It was so good to see him. I ran up and hugged him. He hugged me back.

"It's so good to see you, Draco."

"I am just glad you are okay. Father wants to see you in his study."

He looked at me and there was worry. We walked to the study. We stopped outside the doors.

"Draco, what is going on?"

"I can't tell you. I just have pieces of information. I don't know enough to tell you."

He knocked and a small "Come in" was said. We entered. My heart skipped a beat. There was more than enough people to see. Behind each row, there seem to be more rows. There was an isle in the middle and Draco walked down it. I followed after him. These people made me nervous. When we got to the desk, Draco's father was sitting there with his mother to the left and Bellatrix Lestrange to his right. Draco walked around the desk and sat behind his mother. I stayed where I was. People were shuffling behind me. There was no escape. I waited. They waited.

"So, we warned you through Draco to come home. Why didn't you?"

"How about because I didn't want to? How about because my brother doesn't live here? How about because I don't fear you?"

"You don't?"

He lifted his cane. His wand was the cane. I toke a small step back. That proved his point. Bellatrix smiled.

"Now, for the rest of the break, you will be under the... care of Bellatrix Lestrange, whom you already met."

"Oh ya. We met."

"She will gather the information that she needs and is free to punish you in any way she sees fit. Then you will return to school and hang out with Draco a lot more. You are not allowed to tell Harry anything that happens during the break. You are dismissed along with Draco. Bellatrix will be with you shortly."

We walked out.

"Draco?"

"I am sorry, Molly."

"For?"

"For everything. For changing."

I hugged him.

"I love you, Molly."

After a couple of seconds, I said, "I love you too, Draco."
