Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, London, 6/14/1982, 10:15
Andromeda had been having a strange morning, she had been called to the ministry early this morning by Alastor Moody.
Since she didn't have a sitter she had brought her daughter Nymphadora with her, the girl had just turned nine last month and was an absolute menace.
Upon arriving on the second floor of the ministry she was directed to head to head Auror Moody's office. Once she arrived there the aged auror had led her down to the holding cells where here cousin was waiting seated on cot in the first cell on the right looking completely at his ease.
After they had exchanged pleasantries Sirius had explained his situation and requested that she go to his mother's house to inform his friend about his situation so they would worry about him.
So here she was waiting in the entrance hall of her aunt Walburga's home waiting for Sirius' friend to come down.
"Nymphadora do not touch anything, Andromeda admonished as her daughter was about to open the door on an old grandfather clock.
" Mum, I told you not to call me that," Tonks exclaimed.
"Your mother's right, everything in this house will try to kill you," A male voice called down from the top of the stairs.
"Hello, I'm Andromeda Tonks and this is my daughter Nymphadora," Andy said politely as the man descended the stairs and came to a stop in front of them.
"Good morning, I am Harry, it's a pleasure to meet you both," Harry said shaking her hand.
"Call me Tonks," the pink haired girl demanded.
"Why, Nymphadora is a pretty name?" Harry asked innocently.
Andromeda's first impression was this man was dangerous, he wasn't outwardly aggressive but something about him screamed danger, which she very strangely found attractive. He was a very good looking man, tall and had eyes that made her regret being married.
"Because it's a dumb name," Nymphadora pouted bringing Andy out of her treacherous thoughts.
"So what can I help you with?" Harry asked as he led them into the drawing room.
"I got a call from the aurors this morning, my cousin Sirius needed to see me. He asked me to come here and fill you in on his situation," Andromeda said after taking a seat on the sofa.
"So I take it they were successful in catching Pettigrew last night?" Harry asked taking a seat across from her.
"Harry I want ice cream and Kreacher won't get it for me," Bellatrix said as she stalked into the room.
"Oh bugger," Harry said when Andromeda and Bellatrix froze upon seeing each other.
"What is she doing here?!" They demanded in unison making Tonks giggle.
"Kreacher," Harry called out.
"Yes, what does master want of poor Kreacher?" the little elf asked from the doorway.
"Please get Bellatrix and Nymphadora an ice cream cone, and whatever Andromeda wants," Harry said.
"A mint chocolate chip cone," Andromeda said distractedly.
'pop'
"Now there is a child here so there will be no drawn wands," Harry said firmly looking pointedly at Bellatrix.
"Fine, Bellatrix said sitting on the arm of his chair and glaring at her sister with her arms crossed under her chest.
" So what are you doing here?" Bellatrix demanded.
"Sirius asked me to come and fill Harry in on what happened last night," Andromeda said stiffly.
"I knew the little worm was behind this somehow," Bellatrix exclaimed.
'pop'
Kreacher appeared in the room with two chocolate and one mint chocolte chip ice cream cones floating in front of him, after everyone had their treat Kreacher left the room grumbling about blood traitors in his mistress' home.
"So not to be rude but who are you? I have never seen you before," Andromeda asked delicately after a few moments.
"All I can tell you is I met Sirius in Azkaban and helped him find Pettigrew," Harry said simply.
"You were in Azkaban?" Nymphadora asked between bites of ice cream.
"I was," Harry said simply.
"Are you another one of those pureblood fanatics like my sister there," Andromeda asked pointedly.
Harry put his hand on Bella's thigh cutting off her angry response before answering, "Nope, we all bleed red as far as I'm concerned."
"Then why were you in Azkaban?" Andromeda demanded.
"I am afraid I don't know you well enough to tell you that," Harry said bluntly, makng Bellatrix look very smug perched on the arm of his chair licking her ice cream.
"But you'll tell that evil bitch," Andromeda said incredulously.
"Mum!" Nymphadora exclaimed, having never heard her mother curse before.
"Harry trusts Bella, he shared my cell with me for months," Bellatrix said in her childish mocking voice.
"What?!" Andromeda blurted out before looking at Harry.
Harry shot Bellatrix a glare but she seemed unbothered by this and continued to lick her ice cream with a victorious smile playing on her lips.
"Yes, there was a clerical error and I was placed in an occupied cell," Harry said delicately.
"And the guards never did anything?" Andromeda asked.
"No they didn't, Harry did keep me warm at night," Bellatrix said happily.
"I'll bet he did," Andromeda muttered quietly, feeling somehow annoyed by that statement.
"The situation was complicated," Harry answered in an exasperated tone.
"So are you two... together?" Andromeda asked.
"No, now what happened with Sirius," Harry said wanting to get away from this subject.
"He will get a trial in a few days, Pettigrew was captured and interrogated under veritaserum so the trial is more of a formality. Sirius insisted I come here as early as possible and fill you in," Andromeda answered, taking joy in the disgruntled look on her sister's face.
"I knew he ruined our shower time on purpose," Bellatrix pouted, making Harry blush.
"You shower together?" Nymphadora asked innocently.
"Yes, we have to conserve water," Harry answered hastly, shooting another glare at a smirking Bellatrix.
"Is that why you and daddy share a shower?" Tonks asked her mother curiously, causing Harry to snort outloud at Andromeda's reaction.
"Yes, that's why," Andromeda replied quickly, her cheeks flushing pink.
"So you're still married to... him?" Bellatrix asked coldly.
"Yes, I love him. You and the rest of the family never understood that," Andromeda said quietly.
"You deserted us, because of you father entered me and Cissa into contracts with those blubbering morons!" Bellatrix screeched as she jumped to her feet.
"You should have left too, instead you followed the family line and joined that raving lunatic!" Andromeda countered angrily, also rising to her feet.
"And what be disowned like you were, I would rather die than bring shame to my family!" Bellatrix exclaimed.
"You were always a bit mad, why did you except fathers decision those contracts are not magical, if you had run away then father would have had to pay compensation to LeStrange and that would have been the end of it," Andromeda said tiredly.
"And then grandfather would have struck me from the family like he did to you," Bellatrix argued.
"No he wouldn't, the only reason I was disowned was because I eloped with a mudblood," Andromeda replied.
"I did my duty to the house of Black," Bellatrix replied stubbornly.
"And then joined that madman," Andromeda quipped.
"He wanted to purge the mudbloods from our world, and after you ran off with that Tonks boy I was eager to help with that," Bellatrix said with a shrug.
"Come on Tonks let's go get some lunch," Harry said, thinking it best to give the sisters some privacy.
"Are you sure about that Harry, she can be quite a handful?" Andromeda asked, sounding a little unsure.
"Yeah we'll be fine, you two need to talk this out," Harry said as he walked out of the room the pink-haired girl following behind him.
"So that's mums Sister?" Tonks asked when they entered the kitchen.
"Yep," Harry said going to the cold cupboard and digging out supplies for sandwiches.
"Why are they so mad at each other, mum doesn't yell very much?" Tonks asked taking a seat at the table.
"They had a big fight years ago," Harry said putting a sandwich on a plate with some crisps and placing it on the table in front of her.
"She doesn't seem to like my dad very much, what is a mudblood anyway," Tonks asked before taking a crisp and popping it in her mouth.
"A mean word for a muggleborn," Harry answered.
Harry poured her a glass of pumpkin juice before making himself a sandwich and sitting down across from her. They ate in silence for a few minutes before Tonks spilled her juice all over the table.
Harry waved his wand and vanished the juice before it could run onto the floor.
"I take it you're a bit clumsy," Harry said as he poured some more juice in her glass.
"Mum says I am," Tonks said with a shrug before picking her sandwich back up and taking a bite.
"I think she's right," Harry said thoughtfully.
"So are you one of those purebloods?" Tonks asked curiously.
"Nope, I'm a halfblood like you," Harry said as he poured himself some juice.
"Oh, cool but I bet you cant do this, Tonks said before changing her nose into a pigs snout.
"Your a meatamorphmagus?" Harry asked with a grin.
"Yeah, I am still learning how to control it but I can do loads of stuff with it," Tonks said proudly.
"How old are you?" Harry asked.
"Nine," Tonks said through a mouthful of chicken sandwich.
"It's rude to talk with your mouth full," Harry said in amusement.
"Quite right, Nymphadora use your manners," Andromeda said sternly as she walked into the kitchen followed by a sulking Bellatrix.
"I want a sandwich," Bellatrix said as soon as she saw what Harry was eating.
Harry smirked and flicked his wand at the counter, a sandwich literally made itself before landing on a plate and floating over to land on the table in front of the chair to Harry's right.
"Are you hungry Andromeda?" Harry asked politely.
"I'm starving, we skipped breakfast this morning," Andromeda said gratefully.
With another flick of his wand a plated sandwich floated onto the table beside tonks.
The two sisters took a seat and began eating, after a few minutes of silence Harry asked, "did you two get everything sorted out?"
"More or less," Andromeda said between bites of her sandwich.
"Good, I think Sirius sent you here just to stir the pot," Harry said candidly.
"That sounds about right," Andromeda agreed.
"So have you talked to Cissa lately," Bellatrix asked curiously.
"No, not since Her husbands trial. I can't believe he bought his way out of Azkaban," Andromeda said in disgust.
"Lucy was always a slippery one," Bellatrix said in agreement.
"We might have to pay Narcissa a visit soon," Harry said thoughtfully.
"Really?" Bellatrix asked sounding almost excited.
"Not for a few days but yes, you said your sister can get that mark off of your arm didn't you?" Harry asked.
"Yes, if anyone can its her. She is a runes prodigy and I believe that short of cutting my arm off, a runic array is the only way to remove it," Bellatrix said sounding very serious.
"You want to remove your mark?" Andromeda asked sounding surprised.
"Yes, Harry doesn't like it," Bellatrix said with a shrug.
"I thought you were his most faithful?" Andromeda pressed.
"At one time maybe, but Harry is more powerful than the dark lord," Bellatrix said as if that explained everything.
"Hmm, I find that hard to believe," Andromeda said skeptically.
"In terms of raw power, me and Voldemort are pretty evenly matched. He has decades on me so I imagine he is more skillful with a wand," Harry admitted.
"He's dead, so it doesn't matter," Andromeda said dismissively.
"True," Harry said not wanting to scare the pink haired girl who was listening to their conversation with rapt attention by revealing Voldemort was still out there.
The grandfather clock in the entrance hall started chiming signalling the change of the hour, Andromeda looked at her watch before standing up.
"I have to meet Ted for lunch, thank you for the sandwich and the ice cream," Andromeda said as she waited for Tonks to get ready.
"Don't mention it and don't say anything about Bellatrix," Harry said looking at Tonks who nodded her understanding.
Bellatrix sat quietly and matched her sister and niece leave, she and her sister buried the hatchet but they were still on shaky ground with each other.
It didn't help that Andromeda interrupted her plans with Harry this morning.
Still, she was secretly happy to see Andromeda again as she hadn't seen her since she was nineteen.
Bellatrix was still going to give her the frosty treatment but she was secretly hoping Andromeda visited again, preferably without her spawn.
For the time being she had other plans to make, her pet was playing hard to get but she had no doubt that she would get what she wanted in the end.
Number Twelve Group mmauld Place, London, 6/21/1982, 09;34
Harry was seated at the breakfast table enjoying a plate of bacon and eggs while waiting on Kreacher to return with the 'Daily Prophet'. He was honestly surprised that nothing about the escape had been published yet.
Sirius' trial was scheduled for today and Harry suspected that the ministry was going to wait until Sirius was cleared so the number of escapees was cut in half. Politicians were predictable, they always tried to protect the public from the truth especially if the truth could hurt their chances of reelection.
"Good morning Harry," Bellatrix said as she entered the kitchen.
Bellatrix had been trying harder than ever to get his attention over the last week. She hadn't joined him in the shower since the day Andy visited but she had gone back to teasing him like she had at Azkaban.
"Good morning Bella," Harry said looking up from his breakfast.
"So what are we doing today, I am starting to get bored stuck in this house?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
"Sirius' trial is this morning so I believe it would be a good time to visit Narcissa," Harry said thoughtfully.
"Really?" Bellatrix esclaimed as a plate of food appeared in front of her.
"Yes, Lucius will definitely be at the trial, I don't want to deal with the sanctimonious bastard unless I'm standing over him with a knife," Harry said with a shrug.
"How many people have you killed?" Bellatrix asked between bites of her breakfast.
"Less than a dozen," Harry said thoughtfully.
"You didn't count them?" Bellatrix pressed.
"No, I don't really like to do it unless I have to," Harry admitted before asking, "how many people have you killed?
"Two and that was to earn the mark," Bellatrix confessed.
"Hmm, with your reputation I figures the number would be a lot higher," Harry commented.
"My specialty has always been interrogation, I am a natural legillimens and have an affinity with the cruciatus curse so the dark lord would use me to get information from tight lipped prisoners," Bellatrix explained.
"So you were never part of the raids?" Harry asked.
"A few, but most of them were boring, the people we attacked were usless with a wand and couldn't duel there way out of a paper sack," Bellatrix pouted.
"Are you sure you're okay with removing the mark?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I would rather follow you now," Bellatrix said matter of factly.
"I don't need a follower," Harry said.
"How about a wife?" Bellatrix asked hopefully.
"I like you, but we're not there yet," Harry said seriously.
"Yet?" Bellatrix questioned hopefully.
"Yet," Harry repeated.
"Then yes I want the mark removed," Bellatrix said smiling at her breakfast plate.
Malfoy Manor, Whiltshire, 6/21/1982, 11:15
Narcissa had been very surprised when Dobby entered the kitchen ten minutes ago to inform her her sister was here to see her. She was completely puzzled as to what Andromeda would be doing here and was still trying to figure that out as she entered the greeting room.
That surprise was multiplied by ten when she saw her other sister, Bellatrix, accompanied by a tall dark haired man with emerald green eyes that seemed to almost glow with power.
"Please take a seat," Narcisa said gesturing to some chairs off to the side of the greeting room
"Thank you Cissa, you look well," Bellatrix said as the all took a seat.
"Thank you, now not to be rude Bellatrix, but how is it that you are you here?" Narcissa asked getting straight to the point.
"I escaped Azkaban over a week ago, to be honest I'm surprised they haven't announced it in the propher yet" Bellatrix answered, the last part sounding like an afterthought.
"Well at least introduce me to your... friend," Narcissa demanded eyeing Harry warily.
"Ah how rude of Bella, this is Harry, Harry this is my youngest sister Narcissa," Bellatrix said happily.
"Pleasure to meet you Lady Malfoy," Harry said politely bowing his head slightly.
"And you, how is it you're aquainted with my sister?" Narcissa asked her curiosity getting the better of her.
"We escaped Azkaban together," Harry answered simply.
"Oh," Narcissa said looking very nervous now.
"So Cissa, how is Lucy these days," Bellatrix asked.
"He is doing well, why are you here Bella?" Cissa demanded not liking the fact two escaped criminals were in her home especially with Draco in the next room.
"I need your help with something," Bellatrix answered matter of factly.
"Dare I ask?" Narcissa asked warily.
"I need you to remove my mark, I'm pretty sure the only way to remove it is with a runic array," Bellatrix said showing her sister the faded mark on her left forearm.
Narcissa took out her wand absentmindedly and began casting spells over the mark her brow furrowed in thought.
Harry couldn't help but admire Narcissa's beauty, she was tall like Bellatrix with long straight platinum blonde hair that fell down her back, her icy blue eyes were scrunched in concentration as she analylized Bellatrix mark and she was nibbling her bottom lip as of deep in thought.
Shaking himself from those thoughts Harry waited for her to give them the verdict rather she could remove it or not.
"I think I can remove it but I will have to check a few sources to be sure, if I do this I want something in return," Narcissa said in a business like tone.
"What?" Bellatrix asked not sounding the least bit surprised.
"I need Lucius to have an accident," Narcissa said looking at Harry pointedly.
"A fatal accident?" Harry asked trying not to sound too eager.
"Yes, he is already trying to ruin my Draco, if something isn't done he will become just like his father," Narcissa answered calmly.
"Isn't that a tad extreme?" Harry asked taken aback.
"No, he's already encouraging my son to ignore me and I will not let him grow up to become a clone of that pompous bastard, my father forced this marriage on me I despise the man and will not watch my only soon become him," Narcissa said heatedly.
"Very well, when you remove the mark I will arrange some tragedy to befall Lucius," Harry said holding out his hand for her to shake.
"We have a deal, how can I get in touch with you?" Narcissa asked shaking his hand.
"Come to Aunt Walburga's that is where we're staying," Bellatrix answered sounding pleased.
"Very well, I will be in touch the day after tomorrow," Narcissa said after a moments thought.
"Very well, I suppose we had better leave before Lucius comes home," Harry said leading Bellatrix towards the fireplace.
"I will be by around noon, have Kreacher prepare a light lunch this Wednesday," Narcissa commanded as they were stepping into the floo.
Number Twlve Grimmauld Place, London, 6/21/1982, 12:58
"I have to admit Cissa surprised me," Bellatrix said when they stepped out of the floo.
"Me too, I didn't see that coming," Harry agreed as they headed towards the drawing room.
"So I never did ask, did you kill Rudolphus and his brother?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
"Yes, I didn't want to risk the vow, you getting poisoned caused me to overload my bracelets so technically you held up your end of the bargain," Harry answered honestly.
"Good want to go take a sh-
" I'm free!" Sirius exclaimed bursting into the drawing room, Andromeda walking in behind him.
"Wonderful," Bellatrix said sourly, Sirius had inadvertently thwarted her plans, again!
"They sentenced Peter to be kissed this evening at sundown, he was convicted of all of my charges plus he was charged with framing the heir of an ancient and noble house," Sirius said plopping down on the couch between Harry and Bellatrix and grinning happily.
Andromeda had to stifle a giggle at the look her sister was giving Sirius when he sat down between her and Harry.
"So how was your morning?" Andromeda asked looking at Bella with an innocent smile.
"Good, we went and Visited Cissa. She will be coming over for lunch Wednesday," Bellatrix said looking at Sirius with a smirk.
"Oh hell, I'll make myself scarce, she was always the scariest out of you three," Sirius said with a shudder.
"I highly doubt that," Harry said with a laugh that died in his throat when he realized no one else was laughing.
"Don't let the angelic features fool you, Harry, she is vicious when she feels she has been wronged," Andromeda warned.
"That might explain why Lucius is on her list," Harry muttered.
"I am going out tonight to celebrate, I might not come home until tomorrow morning," Sirius told Harry not catching his last comment.
"Good, make sure you cast the spell so the poor girl doesn't get knocked up," Harry said seriously.
"Oh don't worry I always do," Sirius said dismissively.
"He already has a date tonight," Andromeda said with a smirk.
"With who?" Harry asked surprised.
"Amelia Bones, I gave her wand back to her when they arrested me, she gave me mine after I was cleared this morning and I asked her out for dinner tonight," Sirius said proudly.
"You do realize she's the one who poisoned Bellatrix?" Harry asked coolly.
"No I didn't but that doesn't sound like Amy at all, usually she's as by the book as the come," Sirius said looking shocked.
"She poisoned Bellatrix?" Andromeda asked sounding shocked.
"Yes, she gave her a chocolate bar that was loaded with belladona," Harry said quietly.
"That bitch!" Andromeda exclaimed.
"My thoughts exactly," Hary said nodding his head.
"Did they ask any questions about us?" Bellatrix asked changing the subject.
"No, Andromeda kept them from doing so when Crouch questioned me under veritaserum," Sirius replied.
"You were his solicitor?" Harry asked looking at Andromeda.
"Yes, I am a certified solicitor in the mughle world," Andromeda answered proudly.
"Muggle," Bellatrix sneered.
"The degree carries over to the wizarding world," Andromeda defended.
"Hmm," Bellatrix replied losing interest.
"Be careful around Bones," Harry warned looking at Sirius.
"No worries, Now if you'll excuse me I need to get ready" Sirius said getting up and leaving the room.
"Did Cissa agree to remove your mark?" Andromeda asked.
"Yes, that's hopefully why she's coming over Wednesday," Bellatrix replied.
"Good,I might can petition to have your case thrown out, or at least have you retried after the mark is removed," Andromeda said looking deep in thought.
"How, I still went there willingly and used the torture curse more than once," Bellatrix asked sounding doubtful it would change anything.
"Ah, but you were tried before there was an imperius defense," Andromeda said smugly.
"You have got to be joking," Harry said incredulously.
"Not at all, Lucius Malfoy and his friends set precedence with that defense, I just have to swing it to where if they pick apart her case they also lose credibility in their own cases and risk being tried again, the wizarding world doesn't have a double jeopardy law," Andromeda said with a smirk.
"Not bad, I guess we could give it a try, the worst-case scenario I have to break you out again," Harry said thoughtfully.
"I agree, I would like to be able to go to Fortescue's without being arrested," Bellatrix said after some thought
"I will start the process then, I will be in touch soon," Andromeda said before standing up and striding from the room.
"I hope she can pull it off," Harry said.
"We'll see," Bellatrix said as if trying not to get her hopes up.
Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, 6/21/1982, 23:45
There was something different about tonight, though Harry couldn't explain what it was.
After Sirius had left Harry and Bellatrix had a quiet evening before turning in, Harry could feel a tension in the air he couldn't quite explain.
Right now Harry was laying in bed his eyes closed and was just about to dose off. Bellatrix said she wanted a bubble bath and had gone over to the master bathroom that had a full bathtub.
The door opened and Harry didn't even open his eyes as he felt the bed dip as Bellatrix climbed under the covers and snuggled up to him.
"You've kept me waiting long enough," she whispered in his ear as her hand plunged under the waistband of his boxers.
"Bella, ugh what are you oh my doing?" Harry asked as her soft hand stroked his hardening member.
"Seducing you," she whispered before capturing his lips with her own.
Harry groaned as her lips pressed into his and her hand continued to stroke him, Harry returned the kiss moaning into her mouth as she pulled his cock out of his boxers and pulled them down with her other hand.
Harry didn't know how it happened but it seemed like a second later she was on top of him kissing him with her chest pressed into his, her slit pressed against his shaft, he could feel how wet she was which drove his own arousal to new heights.
Bellatrix sat up high on her knees and reached behind her grabbing his shaft and rubbing the head against her entrance, she then dropped taking a few inches inside her.
Harry groaned and had to fight the urge to not thrust his hips upwards and bury himself deeper, He looked up to see her violet eyes locked onto his.
"Your mine now," she whispered as she leaned down to capture his lips again.
Harry groaned as she took him deeper inside of her warmth, she slowly sank down further and further until he was all the way inside her.
" Does that feel good? Do you like being inside your Bella?" She asked as her hips slowly rose.
"Yes! it feels ah amazing," Harry panted out.
Bellatrix didn't answer in words instead she captured his lips again and started rocking her hips much faster making her pant and moan into his mouth, they built up a steady rhythm moving in tandem, their bodies sliding across each other as they were both chasing their release.
After some time she sat back up and placed her hands on his chest and started rocking back and forth so hard the headboard was banging against the wall.
Harry watched entranced as the moonlight shone over her body, her breast were bouncing with every gyration of her hips and her head was thrown back as she moaned and panted, Harry was on the edge he knew he would not hold out much longer with the way she was riding him.
Harry felt her walls as they seemed to tighten and pulse around him and she let out a loud wailing shriek, he couldn't hold back any longer and gave in, he thrust his hips upward and released deep inside of her with an audible groan leaving his lips.
Bella leaned forward and rested on top of him sighing happily.
"I have never had a shag like that before," she said breathily.
"That makes two of us," Harry said with a chuckle.
"Next time I want you to shag me," she said softly.
"I don't know that had to be the sexiest thing I have ever seen," Harry said with a grin.
"It would be just as sexy to bend me over the kitchen table and shag me silly," Bellatrix assured him.
Harry felt his cock twitch which was still inside of her and he couldn't deny she had made a good point.
"Alright, I guess it's only fair," Harry said before rolling them over into the missionary position and began to move his hips making her moan in approval.
The rest of the night was a blur as Harry and Bellatrix took care of a lot of pent-up sexual tension that had been building for months now.
Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, 6/22/1997, 08:42
Harry woke up to a high pitched scream coming from the other side of the bedroom door.
"I knew he would try again, go back to sleep Harry," Bellatrix muttered sleepily.
"What was that?" Harry asked.
"Sirius just tried to barge in here and found the wards I set up," Bellatrix replied sounding smug.
"What does it do?" Harry asked already drifting off.
"It gives anyone who touches the doorknob a good zap," Bellatrix mumbled.
"Serves him right," Harry thought as he fell asleep Bellatrix already snoring lightly on his chest.
