The world was going to hell in a hand basket, Elizabeth thought. The Dark Lord and his Death Eaters were killing everyone in sight, and here she was, cowering under her bed with her daughter Melanie, and a Death Eater just broke down the door. Melanie started to cry softly. Elizabeth tried to calm her down, while panicking herself. In the back of her mind, she knew it was the end of her life as she knew it. Just then, she heard the unmistakable laughter of Bellatrix Lestrange from down the hallway.
"I hear you little baby! Where are you and your mommy?" She spoke in a evil sing song voice. She walks into the room, looking around. Elizabeth can see Bellatrix's cloak dragging across the ground as the floorboards creak with her weight. She walks over to the closet and yanks open the door. There is nobody inside.
"Come out, come out! Come out to play!" It was then that Bellatrix bent down to the floor. Her eyes light up and she cackled with glee when she seen Melanie & Elizabeth cowering under the bed. She reaches under the bed and grabs ahold of Elizabeth's shirt, yanking on it and dragging her out from under the bed. She squirms around, trying to get free.
"NO! You can't do this!"
Bellatrix grins evilly, taking out her wand from her left robe pocket.
"Oh I can!"
She shoves Elizabeth across the room, then points her wand at her.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A bright green light bursts out of her wand, shooting across the room and hitting Elizabeth. She falls to the floor, her body void of life.
Melanie looks at her mother's lifeless body, confused.
"Momma?" She starts to crawl out from under the bed, completely forgetting that Bellatrix was still there in the room. All of a sudden, Melanie feels her feet leaving the ground and she gets picked up.
"Awe! Itty bitty baby is an orphan?"
Melanie begins to cry, a loud piercing sound. Just then, there is a loud swooshing sound as three people apparate into the room, all pointing their wands at Bellatrix.
"Give us the child now, Lestrange." A tall, brooding man spoke evenly and authoritavely to Bellatrix.
She smirks slowly and puts the child down. She then begins to pull out her wand.
"Expelliarmus!" Her wand flew out of her hand and across the room.
"You're coming with us, Bellatrix."
The last Auror stepped towards her and raised their wand.
"Immobilous." Bellatrix froze like a statue and her skin turned a light grey color.
"Alright, let's get her out of here. The sooner she gets put in Azkaban, the better off we'll be." The tall brooding man and the Auror that turned Bellatrix to stone helped pick her up and get her out of the house. The last Auror looked down at the little girl on the floor. A look of resentment showed on her face. She reached down and picked the child up.
"Hello, sweetie." She smiled weakly and bounced her in her arms, "What is your name?"
"M-melanie..." She stutters slightly as she tries to hold back her tears.
"Well sweetheart, I'm going to take good care of you okay?"
Melanie nods her head and wipes away her tears as the two leave the house.
