THE REVENGE

TW: VIOLENCE

A homemade bomb with glass shards and gun-powder wasn't hard to build, especially when one had revenge and anger as a fuel for the very attention-demanding job. So, it really was no surprise that Anne, who had seen Hermione and Ron building it under Nymphadora Tonk's instructions before, had managed to build it as well. She had used it before and had been caught in the middle of an explosion as well. The feeling of blindness was certainly disorienting at first and the noise made ear-drums ring for minutes, the glass rarely caused anything other than annoying cuts, but it had blinded Amycus Carrow in her own timeline, so she threw it on the meeting with confidence that Regulus would be smart enough to step back from the new object just rolling into his parlour in the middle of a meeting.

The noise had made her cringe as she walked into the parlour.

The sight was chaos.

The sofa the Lestranges and Cygnus had been sitting had been turned over and Cygnus was slowly getting up from the ground, intending to move to the corner of the room and leave the fighting for those who actually believed in their cause. Roddy was on his knees, face bleeding from the glass and Rabastan whimpered on the ground, but Bellatrix was already standing, wand up and pointed at the door, but still blind through the light. Regulus and Mister Crabbe had their backs against the wall, with Yaxley with his hands in front of his eyes in clear pain and distress. Lucius Malfoy had fallen to the ground, chair following him and was scrambling to get back up. Augustus Rookwood was trying to make his forehead stop bleeding as he blinked strongly and Mister Nott was helping Tom Riddle get up from the ground. It was, however, the sight of Amycus Carrow screaming and trying to take a shard of glass from his eye that made Anne laugh as his sister, Alecto, screamed for help.

"Hello," she greeted with a smirk.

"It seems we don't have to hunt for you wherever you are hiding, you came to us," Voldemort said, standing on his own now. His nose had a cut, but he seemed quite unharmed.

"Hunt me? Hiding?" Anne said, she scoffed. "I'm right here. I've never hid from you before, Tom. I was always right under your nose," her smirk grew into a grin. "And you never saw me."

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Alecto screamed.

She jumped out of the way, clicking her tongue in annoyance.

"I NEED HER ALIVE, YOU STUPID WOMAN!" Tom screamed.

"Yes, he needs me alive, you hysterical bitch!" she said in return, falsely offended.

Stuppefies and other hexes came flying towards her and her shield held, though she did stumble back at the strength of the attacks. Either she liked it or not, the Inner Circle was mostly powerful wizards and witches that knew how to duel and how to kill. Attacking alone was reckless, but revenge is reckless and she care little of the consequence this would bring – she was blinded by anger, like they were blinded by the bomb.

She attacked back, a Stupefy hitting Yaxley straight in the back of his neck, making him fall face first to the ground already unconscious. Mister Crabbe held the man by the coat, but allowed him to fall once she tried to attack him as well, raising his shield just in time. Tom's Crucio hit the wall right behind her, a few centimetres above her head. She ducked, throwing another one at him, but he reflected it with a shield.
