Dora sighed. "They aren't," she agreed, but neither was she, either. If it were her parents that had been taken...she didn't know what she'd have done. "It's more...I'm worried that Remus is going to do something stupid, too." If something happened to him or Sirius or her dad because of this, because of her - the guilt was bad enough knowing it was her fault her mum was here.
She shook her head fervently. "No, I don't leave without you, 'cause if I escape and you're still here, she'll kill you. And that's just it - unless she gets whatever it is she wants, she isn't going to let me go. So either way..." She trailed off, fighting the urge to kick and scream and hit the wall. Why was this happening? What had they ever done to deserve this? What had her mother ever done? Was this karma? Were they being punished somehow? Or was it just her residual bad luck rubbing off on her mum?
"Next time the House Elves come in, I can morph into Bellatrix," she offered. "That might work."
