Lily didn't know where she was or what was going to happen to her. Everything at the Hogsmeade weekend seemed to be a blur. She was dueling Bellatrix and she had heard shouts from behind. She had glanced to see others rushing to her aid and for a brief moment, she thought things were going to be alright. That was until she was hit. She couldn't remember much from then, just shouts and other spells speeding by, but someone was dragging her and they had apparated...at least she thought they had. How else would they have gotten here? And where was here? As far as she could see she was in a room of some kind, filled with various artifacts and pieces. Bellatrix had tied her to a chair and gave that ugly cackle, telling her she would be back. But it had to have at least been a day and there was still no one there. What were they going to do to her? Each minute that passed made Lily feel more and more on edge and she had given up on trying to calm herself.

You brought this on yourself. She had cried, she had yelled, she had cursed. Of course none of it mattered as no one came to her aid and she was just left to sit there. Thousand of thoughts swirled through her mind, things she regretted and wished she could make right. If I get out of here in one piece I have to do them all. She wanted to talk to Severus, to truly forgive him for what happened. She wanted to tell James exactly how she felt. She wanted to help Sirius with a school wide prank. She continued to make this list in her mind, anything to get it off the torture of what was to come. She was sure they had a plan for her, but she didn't know if they would actually kill her or not. If that was the plan, wouldn't they have already done it? Stop, positive thoughts. You'll get through this and you'll be able to do all that stuff and more.

The sound of footsteps brought her out of her reverie and her head snapped up, looking towards the sound. "Hello?" she called, wondering if it might be a friend to help her. But she would not be so lucky.

That evening had been spent consulting with key members of the Knights of Walpurgis, organising his senior Death Eaters, and working on future plans to influence the Ministry from within. When Lord Voldemort had met with each of his faithful followers, he was pleased to be addressed with such respect and adoration from them. The night was going quite well, all in all.

Until he felt the pull of dark magic from somewhere all too close to him. His eyes had narrowed, his followers had stilled, and the room had grown cold. Without so much as an explanation, he turned from his followers and Disapparated with a loud crack.

Voldemort had known instinctively where the pull of Apparition would take him; he felt it like he felt the blood coursing through his veins, or Nagini wrapped ever so tightly around his torso. It was a comforting feeling, knowing where to go and what to do. The feel of the dark magic that pulled him to this familiar place surrounded him with the deafening crack that echoed in the room.

It didn't take long for his eyes to narrow upon the target of this dark magic. He walked slowly, purposefully, circling the room like a vulture eying its next meal. Hissing out a short command to Nagini, he watched as her lithe body wound through the blood, coating her underside and turning back toward her Master with an appreciative hiss.

"Bellatrix," he drew out long and sensually, his voice dropping to barely a whisper, "what have we here? A show of strength, of magic, against your Master's orders...?" It was a dangerous question that only a fool would answer to.

Bellatrix quickly turned, seeing her master there. Happiness and a great amount of fear filled her. She was... being a little bad. All the same she smiled at him. "My Lord!" She just about skipped over to him. "No no no! Not at all. Nothing like that. Your letter said to not act on feelings. Which I have not done. I've acted on principle!" As much as she should quell those giggles she could not. This was a serious matter. One that could get her into lots of trouble. She should watch herself...

"But... I can see how it might look like it was the other way around, but I assure you it was not." Bella took careful steps to her lord, trying her hardest to humble herself in his presence. But it was hard. He was here. Before her. Seeing her work. Her heart was all a flutter!!

"No... ill will was meant, My Lord, it was all for you and all your plans. No one will miss... one silly Mudblood."
