Chapter 13

I awoke the next morning with a sore head, wondering whether all of last nights events actually happened. I scratched my head, for some reason I could not shake the image of Voldemort making coffee whilst munching on TimTams. I shook my head couldn't of happened. I was dragged from my thoughts by the sound of an owl scraping at my window. Sighing heavily as I forced myself out of bed and opened the window, the owl came bursting through and rammed straight into the chandelier hanging above my bed causing it to pass out.

"Stupid owl" I breathed leaning down to detach the letter from its ankle

I glanced at the seal, at first sight it appeared to be the hogwarts seal but as I looked closer I came to the realisation that it was Dumbledore's. I paused confused, why was Dumbledore writing to me? We'd never been close and I was far from his favourite student. I slowly began to break the letter open but didn't get the chance. Bellatrix burst through my bedroom door

"Mysti breakfast! We don't want to be late" she said hurrying her daughter

"Of course not mother, I'm coming" I said gripping the letter behind her back

I ran to breakfast shoving the letter under my mattress as i went. When i arrived almost all the seats were taken. Voldemort smiled at me not even acknowledging my lateness, he gestured to a seat I walked towards it. When I realised who was next to me my whole body turned to a scowl. Barty freaking crouch bloody Jr. I could feel his eyes on me so I forced myself to think about other things. I looked to Voldemort for a moment silently pondering about the coffee and biscuits, was that why he had been nice to me? I shook the thought. I saw Snape smirking from across the table. Great I thought. Not. A. Dream.

As breakfast ended I could feel the tensions in the room rise. Voldemort was whispering things to his creepy snake, nagini. Which made everyone feel right at home.

"Are you sure this must be done my lord?" Narcissa whispered staring at Draco, Scabior, Pansy, Blaise and I as we were huddled together

"Yes it must! Tie them up" Voldemort yelled. Death eaters began to ascend on our group. I felt someone grab my hand  and I quickly reached for my wand.

"It's me" Scabior breathed in my ear

I let out a sigh of relief and gripped his hand tighter. I looked up and my eyes caught Bartys almost immediately. He gave me a sick smile before grabbing my waist with both hands and pulling me away from Scabior.

"Don't touch her!" Scabior growled at Barty as another death eater attempted to drag him off

"Sorry lad dark lords orders" he laughed throwing me over his shoulder as I tried to break free.

He put me down in the dining room, I could see Pansy across the room I tried to give her a reassuring smile. I watched Barty as he threw down some ropes next to a chair.

"Now Little lestrange if you behave I won't have to use those" Barty said simply

I looked down at the ropes and then met his gaze, fast as I could manage I brought my hand up to meet with his face slapping him as hard as I could.

Barty put a hand to his cheek

"Oh little lestrange, you'll regret that"
