A large bang of the door flying open made both me and Regulus shoot upwards from the bed in a panic. I'm walked through his cousin, Bellatrix LeStrange with a wide grin plastered on her face.

"Come along cousin, and you too, Riddle. Don't want to keep our dark lord waiting" She laughed menacingly.

"Merlin, what time is it?" Regulus questioned as he got up from the bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Just passed mid-day, love birds" Bellatrix muttered as she waltzed around the room, picking at objects to be nosey.

Regulus passed me my cloak that was hung at the end of my bed. I pulled the fabric on, getting up from the bed groaning. I reached into my draw and pulled out a pair of black flared trousers and a black knit jumper.

"Shouldn't you be, I don't know, chasing my father around like a little lost puppy?" I questioned as I emerged from the bathroom to find the fuzzy haired woman still snooping around my belongings.

"You won't have such a smart mouth once you see what the lord has in store for you!" She spat back, glaring at me with narrowed eyes.

Once we got deep enough into the forbidden forest, Bella took Regulus' arm in her hand as he didn't let go of my hand with his free one. We apparated in front of a gloomy three-story house, if it weren't for the sound of chatter coming from inside I'd of thought it was abandoned. 

We traveled up the mossy stoned pathway and Bellatrix knocked on the door in a sequence, in response it had swung open on its own. We made our way through the bottom floor and followed the sociopathic woman up an iron staircase.

She opened the third door along the corridor and with a large creak our sight was met with a large room, containing a group of about five people dressed in cloaks chattering away.

"Finally, took you long enough" My father spat as he turned around in an office chair, looking us over.

"What is the meaning of this, Father?" I questioned as I held my head high and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Well, daughter, I'm going to teach you a lesson and maybe you will understand better on why you should never defy my order!" He responded, lifting himself from out of the chair and walking towards the door.

He exited the room and Bella pushed both me and Regulus out to follow. We filed down the iron stair case and down another set of cobble stairs leading into what I presumed to be the Knott's basement.

We entered a large concrete room and an iron gate shut loudly behind us. Nerves had started to rise and I started to feel panicked as to why we were now in this dimly lit basement, locked in.

"Greyback!" My father called out as a large hairy man stepped into the light from the shadows.

My eyes widened at the sight. Fenrir Greyback was a stocky unshaven boy who was thrown out of Hogwarts in his fourth year for attacking several students. Gossip spread like wildfire about how the boy was a werewolf and that's why different students started to disappear from school.

"Father, what is the meaning of this?" I argued, hiding my fear very poorly as my voice trembled.

I grasped Regulus' hand tighter than I already had been, he sensed my fear which resulted in him snaking a hand around my waist and pulling me closer.

The second my fathers eyes laid on Regulus' position he flicked his bone-like wand which thrown us to either side of the room, smashing into the concrete walls. My vision had blurred and my head felt as if it were being crushed.

"How dare you mock me!" He yelled in fury, shooting glares between Regulus and I on either sides of the room.

"Bella, bind your cousin" My father ordered which made the girl scramble towards Regulus.
