Peverell Beach House, Cornwall, 8/11/1982, 14:56
Harry sat on the deck watching a massive summer thunderstorm over the sea, the sky had darkened and lightning was flashing lighting the sky up for milliseconds at a time with flashes of bright white light.
Bellatrix was leaning against his side watching as the wind whipped the ocean up into massive waves.
The last week had been pretty quiet for the most part, it seemed that Narcissa had run out of tasks for him to do for her though she had sent word via owl that the Greengrass ritual had been successful.
Andromeda had developed an annoying habit of sending Tonks over in the afternoon so she could watch her soaps in peace, Bellatrix was starting to get annoyed at this and would sulk until And came to pick her up.
Harry didn't really mind that much as Tonks was pretty easy-going if not a little hyper though he knew this arrangement would eventually cause a fight between the two sisters.
Harry knew it was about time to sneak into Hogwarts to retrieve the diadem, he had been putting it off since he had learned Sirius had the invisibility cloak but it was starting to bug him that he knew it was there and hadn't gone and picked it up yet.
There was also the Gaunt family ring in Little Hangleton, he had no idea what protections were in place around the Gaunt shack other than the rotting curse set on the ring itself so he would probably need to take Bellatrix with him for that.
"What are you thinking about?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
"I need to get the other Horcruxes soon," Harry said softly after a massive crack of thunder that shook the windows.
"Can Bella help?"
"Yes, you know way more about dark magic than I do," Harry said thoughtfully.
"Yes, I do know a lot about dark magic," Bellatrix agreed happily as another fork of lightning lit up the sky.
"Harry!" a girls voice called from inside the house.
"Andy is going to have to quit sending the brat over here," Bellatrix said grumpily before a deafening crack of thunder shook the house again.
"She isn't that bad," Harry said as he got up and walked into the house.
When Harry stepped inside it was to find Tonks jumping over a jump rope and catching her foot causing her to fall onto the floor.
"Andy watching her soaps again?" Harry asked tiredly.
"No, mom had to go to grampa's she said I could stay the night here," Tonks said excitedly.
"That's it when I see your mother-
" Calm down Bella, we'll be fine," Harry said cutting off her angry rant.
"But she didn't even ask us," Bellatrix pouted.
"Why don't we go to Diagon Alley?" Harry asked hoping to distract her.
"Can we go to the ice cream shop?" Tonks asked hopefully.
"Maybe, after we eat dinner," Harry answered noticing Bella looked equally as excited about his answer.
"Can we go to the quidditch store?" Tonks asked hopefully.
"Why your mother won't let you have a real broom yet?" Harry asked with a smirk.
"I can still look," Tonks pouted.
"Alright sure, I might look around a bit myself," Harry said thoughtfully.
"I want to go to 'Twilfit and Tattings,' " Bellatrix spoke up.
"Alright then, let's head out," Harry said placing his hand on Tonks' shoulder and disapparating to the apparition point in Diagon Alley.
Diagon Alley, London, 8/11/1982, 15:38
Harry and Tonks appeared with a 'pop' at the apparition point, Tonks looking very disgruntled.
"Why didn't you warn me?" Tonks demanded as she stood there looking dizzy.
'Pop'
Bellatrix appeared beside him looking annoyed, " why didn't you wait for me?"
"Sorry, I wanted to surprise Tonks," Harry said with a grin.
Tonks still looked a bit dizzy and glared at him, "that was awful, why couldn't we take the floo?" Tonks asked grumpily.
"This way was quicker, don't worry the dizziness doesn't last long," Harry said cheerfully as he led them down the alley.
"Where are we going?" Tonks asked as they passed 'Quality Quidditch Supplies'.
"Your Aunt Bellatrix wants to get some clothes," Harry said making Bellatrix smirk at her pouting niece.
"But I hate clothes shopping," Tonks pouted.
"And I hate babysitting," Bellatrix returned.
"I'm not a baby," Tonks exclaimed as they entered the shop.
"Alright both of you behave or we won't be going to the ice cream shop," Harry said with finality.
"Fine," Tonks said sulkily as she went and sat down in one of the chairs by the door and picked up a Quidditch magazine.
"Take your time," Harry said before kissing Bella on the cheek and taking a seat beside Tonks.
Harry picked up a fashion magazine and started thumbing through it, he really hated clothes shopping but knew letting Bellatrix shop would put her in a better mood.
"Harry, why is Aunt Bella so grumpy?" Tonks asked after a few minutes of silence.
"She's not grumpy, she's just being a brat," Harry said with a chuckle.
"Mum says she's always been a brat," Tonks pointed out.
"You can be quite bratty yourself," Harry said.
"I'm nine, it's cute," Tonks argued.
"Ugh, when do you go back to school?" Harry asked exasperation heavy in his tone.
"September fourth," Tonks said looking unhappy about that.
"Thank heavens for that," Harry said with a grin.
"I hate school," Tonks pouted.
"You only have two more years in muggle school," Harry said cheerfully.
"Do you think mom will let me have my broom back soon?" Tonks asked.
"I don't know, are you going to try and fly unsupervised?" Harry asked as he turned the page in his magazine and found an advertisement for the Nimbus one-thousand with a pretty blond posing on the broom.
"No, or she'll just take my broom away again," Tonks exclaimed.
"Harry is that you?" a female voice asked from the doorway.
Looking up he saw Amelia Bones standing by the door.
"Hey Auror Bones, fancy seeing you here," Harry said with a smile.
"It's just Amelia, and I'm here to get a dress for a dinner with Sirius and his grandfather," Amelia said sitting down on the other side of Tonks.
"How did you end up watching Andy's sprog?" Amelia asked in amusement.
"She dropped her off at the house and left town," Harry said with a shake of his head.
"What's a sprog?" Tonks asked curiously.
"It means a child, in other words, you," Harry said with a grin.
"Ugh, grown-ups can be really mean," Tonks pouted.
"Bones, what are you doing here?" Bellatrix asked as she approached the group.
"I have a formal dinner and I need new dress robes," Amelia said getting up from her chair.
"Aunt Bellatrix, can we go now?" Tonks asked hopefully.
"Yes, my clothes will be delivered to the house now we can go look at brooms," Bellatrix said seeming to be in a better mood.
"Good luck with Sirius," Harry said to Amelia as Tonks grabbed his wrist and practically dragged him down the alley to the quidditch store.
Harry sat with Tonks and Bellatrix enjoying a double scoop ice cream sundae, the quidditch store had been fun though the broomsticks were like relics compared to his Firebolt, Tonks had somehow conned him into buying her a Gwenog Jones quidditch jersey much to Bellatrix's annoyance.
They had gone to a nice restaurant called 'The Winged Horse, that served very good Italian food, Bellatrix seemed to love their shrimp alfredo, Harry and Tonks had both gotten spaghetti and meatballs and the both of them cleaned their plates in record time.
"Thanks for the ice cream Harry," Tonks said between spoonfuls of her banana split.
"You're welcome," Harry said with a grin.
"Yes thank you for taking me out," Bellatrix said with a smile.
"Are you two going to get married," Tonks asked curiously making Harry snort into his ice cream.
"Maybe oneday," Harry said when he noticed Bellatrix listening to his answer intently.
"Are you going to have kids," Tonks asked making Harry cough uncomfortably.
"We haven't discussed it, are you finished yet?" Harry asked wanting to get off of this subject.
"Yes," Tonks answered.
"Then it's about time to go home," Harry said as he stood up.
"Do you have a tele?" Tonks asked hopefully.
"No, we don't have electricity," Harry said.
"What's a tele?" Bellatrix asked as she got upp
"A muggle form of entertainment," Harry explained enjoying the incredulous look on her face.
"We won't be getting one of those," Bellatrix exclaimed firmly.
"We couldn't get one anyway, they run on electricity," Harry assured her.
"Good," Bellatrix said happily.
Peverell Beach House, Cornwall, 8/11/1982, 22:36
When they had returned from Diagon Alley Harry had entertained Tonks by playing a few with board games while Bellatrix observed in between reading some book called 'The Pureblood and the Concubine'.
Harry made Tonks go to bed at nine much to her displeasure, it took almost an hour for her to finally go to sleep but he had checked her room about twenty minutes ago and she was sleeping soundly.
Now Harry was sitting with Bella on the outside porch which had become one of his favourite places in the house. The ocean had calmed a lot since this afternoon, the waves were crashing gently against the shore, the sky was clear now, and the moon was shining down brightly mixed in with the light of millions of stars.
"Are we going to get married?" Bellatrix asked pulling Harry back to the present.
"I don't know, do you want to get married?" Harry asked looking her in the eyes.
"Yes, but I don't want to push you into marrying me," Bellatrix said her tone was more serious than he had ever heard.
"I love you Bellatrix, if you want to get married then we will, just give a little time to do it properly," Harry said softly.
"You love me?" Bellatrix asked her voice filled with emotion.
"Yes, I love you," Harry said softly.
Harry had known for a while that he was developing strong feelings for her, he hadn't realized what they really meant until a few seconds ago when he had confessed his love for her, he had spoken without overthinking it and said what he must have known at some level that he felt, he loved her.
"I love you too," Bellatrix said her voice cracking slightly.
Harry pulled her to him, he could see tears running from the corners of her eyes, Harry ran his hand gently along her jawline using the pad of his thumb to wipe her tears then he pulled her lips to his, the kiss started off soft but slowly got heated and forceful.
Bellatrix threaded her hands through his hair and deepened the kiss, Harry was just about to pull her into his lap when he heard...
Crash!
They both jumped apart, there was a loud commotion coming from inside the house, Harry rushed into the sitting room his wand at the ready, what he found made him sigh in exasperation.
Tonks was laying in a heap in front of the couch, she was somehow tangled up in the drapes, not far away from her was the Comet broomstick he had brought from the future, the crash seemed to have been caused by her crashing into an armchair and knocking over a bookshelf covering the floor in books.
"That's it, I am going to tan her hide!" Bellatrix exclaimed angrily.
"So you were faking being asleep?" Harry asked calmly as Tonks finally untangled herself from the drapes.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep," Tonks said lamely looking at her feet.
"Hold her, Harry, I'll find the paddle," Bellatrix shrieked.
"Please don't punish me," Tonks sniffed out crocodile tears were running down her cheeks.
"Don't listen to her Harry, she needs to be punished for this," Bellatrix implored in her bratty voice.
"We are not going to punish her," Harry said looking at Bella who looked about to argue.
Really" Tonks asked hopefully.
"Really, your mother will be the one to punish you," Harry said as he raised his wand and cast a Patronus charm.
"Oh no!" Tonks exclaimed looking positively woebegone at this news.
"Oh that works," Bellatrix said seeming appeased by his solution and the miserable look on Tonks' face.
"So you snuck into our bedroom and stole my broomstick?" Harry asked.
"I thought I could fly around the house without you finding out," Tonks mumbled.
Whoosh
"What's going on?" Andromeda said after stepping out of the fireplace and looking around the demolished sitting room.
Harry turned to Andromeda and instantly knew that she wasn't at Ted's parent's house, she was dressed in a muggle style evening dress and her make up was done up as if she were on a date.
"Well, we put Tonks to bed, thanks for asking if she could stay over by the way, and we had just stepped out on the porch to talk when your daughter flew my broomstick through the sitting room," Harry said gesturing to the ramsacked sitting room.
Harry watched as Andromeda's face contorted in rage as the state of the room suddenly made more sense, she turned her head to eye her daughter who was staring determinedly at her feet
"I wanted to paddle her but Harry said we should let you deal with your destructive spawn," Bellatrix said grumpily.
"Fear not sister, Nymphadora will be getting a spanking for this," Andromeda said her eyes still focused on her daughter.
"But mom," Tonks whined pitifully.
"Quiet Nymphadora, you could have broken your neck flying a broomstick in the house," Andromeda said as she took hold of Tonks' arm and disappeared with a loud 'pop.'
"She still didn't apologise for dumping her brat on us," Bellatrix exclaimed irritably.
"Huh, I didn't mind having her around until about twenty minutes ago," Harry said with a shrug as he drew his wand and repaired the curtains.
"Well you like the little squirt," Bellatrix said with a shrug.
"You do too, you just hate her father," Harry pointed out.
"Do not, and of course, Bella hates her mudblood father," Bellatrix argued back in her little girl's voice.
"You like her and you know it, though I happen to agree with you that Andy is using us for free babysitting and we need to nip that in the bud," Harry said as he reared his hand back and smacked Bellatrix' bottom.
"Ooooh, Harry!" Bellatrix exclaimed breathily.
"I think I need to find another way to punish you," Harry said with a smirk.
"No NBella loves the way you punish her now," Bellatrix said emphatically.
"That kind of defeats the point of a punishment," Harry said as he picked the broomstick up and flicked his wand straightening the room after Tonks' crash landing.
"But I like you smacking my bottom," Bellatrix said.
"Hmm, it is getting late, want to go to bed?" Harry asked.
"Yes, will you punish naughty Bella before we go to sleep?" Bellatrix asked as they started making their way up the stairs.
"Maybe," Harry said pushing open their bedroom door and stopping.
The room was a mess, the trunk at the foot of his bed's contents was strewn everywhere, the bed was ruffled as if Tonks had been jumping on it and Bella's perfume bottles were laying all over the bed, they looked to be empty.
The room was thick with the smell of her perfume and Harry could almost hear Bellatrix's blood boiling.
"I'm going to get her for this!" Bellatrix exclaimed angrily.
"I'll buy you some new perfume," Harry said soothingly.
"Buy me a new sister while you're at it because I am going to murder Andromeda," Bellatrix said in a calm cold tone.
"I don't think that's necessary," Harry said leaning down and placing a kiss on the nape of her neck.
Harry waved his wand over the room putting everything back into place and vanishing the perfume that was spilt on the bed and the carpet.
"Oh ah you can't distract me with sex," Bellatrix said breathily.
"I think I can," Harry said as he lifted her robes over her head and tossed them on the floor leaving her standing there in her matching black bra and panties and still wearing her knee-high black dragonhide boots.
Harry pulled her to him placing a rough kiss on her lips before pushing her backwards so that she fell on the bed with her legs hanging off of the side.
"Harry!" Bellatrix exclaimed excitedly as he kicked off his boots and quickly undressed.
Harry stalked towards her coming to stand between her legs, reaching down he hooked her knicker with his fingers and roughly pulled them down her legs and over her boots.
"Aren't you going to take off my boots?" Bellatrix asked as he knelt between her legs.
"No, you look sexy in only your boots," Harry said before he lowered his lips to her mound.
"Ohhh," Bellatrix exclaimed as he ran his tongue over her wet quim and did his best to distract her.
Harry loved how sexual Bellatrix was, he was practically a virgin when he met her but he was really starting to like taking control, Bellatrix loved it when he took charge and had his way with her, they both loved the role playing but Harry loved doing it this way even more, having his way with the most feared death eater from his time was a real turn on.
Bella's thighs squeezing around his head bringing his thoughts back to the present, he continued in his mission to bring her to release before he sought out his own.
Gaunt Shack, Little Hangleton, 8/15/1982, 01:59
Harry and Bellatrix were making their way down the overgrown path that led to the forgotten home of Marvolo Gaunt.
"This decrepit hovel is the dark lord's grandfathers house?" Bellatrix asked incredulously when they stepped into from the brambles onto a small cluster of trees with a rundown shack built in between two large yew trees almost completely concealing it from view
"Yes, his mother lived here until she love potioned a wealthy muggle who lived nearby. She ended up having his child but died giving birth, so Voldemort was raised in a muggle orphanage in London," Harry explained as they approached the door.
"She slept with a muggle, that's disgusting," Bellatrix exclaimed.
"That's why he hates muggles, his father abandoned his mother and he spent his childhood in a muggle orphanage," Harry explained pulling out his wand and started scanning the door for traps.
"You had better let me do that," Bellatrix said drawing her wand and casting detection spells he hadn't seen before.
"The door can only be opened by a passphrase but it's not a human language," Harry said as he watched Bellatrix work.
Finally, Bellatrix lowered her wand and said, "there aren't any curses on the door but there is a cluster of dark magic in the room I think that's the Horcrux."
"Makes sense, the Horcrux is the Gaunt family ring, it has a nasty withering curse tied to it so you're probably picking up on that too," Harry said with a shrug.
"So how do we open the door?" Bellatrix asked looking at him expectantly.
"Speak to me Salazar Slytherin greatest of the Hogwarts four," Harry said and smiled triumphantly as the door swung open, the sweet smell of rotting wood hit them in the face.
"Oh parseltongue, but I could understand what you were saying," Bellatrix said sounding confused.
"Probably because of your animagus form," Harry suggested.
"No, I completed the animagus transformation when I was sixteen and I never understood the dark lord when he spoke to his snake," Bellatrix said looking flummoxed.
"We can figure that out later, let's get this over with this place is giving me the creeps," Harry said as he lit the tip of his wand and stepped into the room.
"Okay, follow me", Bellatrix said casting a detection spell and following the reading to the large cluster of dark magic in the back corner of the room.
The inside of the shack looked worse than he remembered it from Bob Ogden's memory, there were cobwebs everywhere, the room was wet from the massive holes in the ceiling and the furniture was rotting away.
Harry followed Bellatrix to the corner of the room where her detection spell was leading her, staying prepared for any hidden traps.
"Be careful," Harry warned as he watched her levitate a section of the floor away revealing the foundation of the shack and a tiny golden box laying on the stone below.
Harry carefully levitated the box and set it on the floor, both of them got down on their knees as Bellatrix slipped on some silk gloves and opened the box, Harry was a bit surprised when he didn't feel any compulsions to put the ring on, he had always assumed that had been the reason Dumbledore had put it on.
"Oh this really is a nasty one, give me a minute and I can break it," Bellatrix said as she scanned the thick gold ring with her wand.
"Go ahead just please be careful," Harry said worriedly.
"I will," Bellatrix said as she waved her wand over the ring muttering an unintelligible string of Latin making the ring glow a bright purple as Voldemort's curse fought to stay tied to the ring.
Harry watched as Bellatrix continued to cant as sweat started running down her forehead, suddenly the ring flashed with a bright purple light, there was the sound of glass breaking, the ring jumped in the box as Bellatrix finally broke the curse.
"Is the curse gone?" Harry asked curiously.
"Yes, but I still wouldn't put it on," Bellatrix said only have jokingly.
"I know I can feel the Horcrux pressing on my mind," Harry said as he closed the gold box and pocketed it.
"I can too, can we get out of here?" Bellatrix asked hopefully.
"With pleasure, we need to go by Grimmauld and drop this off," Harry said as he stood up and offered her his hand.
Bellatrix took his hand with a grateful smile and let him help her to her feet, "can we disapparate from here?" Bellatrix asked.
"Yes, I admit I thought there would be more protections here," Harry said before his eyes widened and he spun on the spot Bellatrix's hand still held tightly in his.
Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, London, 8/15/1982, 03:36
Harry and Bellatrix appeared with a soft 'pop' right across the street from Sirius' mom's house.
"My niece was right, a little warning would be appreciated," Bella said grumpily getting her bearing after the unexpected apparition.
"Sorry, I just realized I might have tempted fate with that last comment and got us out of there before I triggered some hidden trap," Harry said sheepishly.
Same time at the Gaunt Shack
Back at little Hangleton the hidden trigger under the stone where the ring box had rested activated after the five-minute delay timed out, wards slammed down around the shack sealing it shut as the floorboards ignited into a blazing inferno releasing deadly vapours from the potions Voldemort had saturated the floorboards in fifty years ago.
Back at Grimmauld Place
"Fine, let's get rid of the ring and go home," Bellatrix said still sounding grumpy.
Harry led her up the steps and pushed open the door holding it open for her, Bellatrix stalked inside and led the way up to the library.
Once they entered they made their way to the back corner of the library, they approached a seemingly innocent section of the wall where a small safe was located.
Bellatrix placed the palm of her hand on the wall and watched as the illusion faded away turning into a two-foot by a two-foot steel door, Bellatrix removed her hand and the handless door smoothly swung open revealing the other three Horcruxes laying innocently on the floor of the tiny safe.
Harry reached into his pocket and removed the box containing the ring, he quickly tossed it inside the safe before he slammed the door shut, the feeling of four Horcruxes pressing against his mental Shields was intense.
"When are we going to destroy them?" Bellatrix asked as she pressed her hand to the safe causing the illusions to activate concealing the safe from view.
"I am waiting to hear back from Gringotts about a vial of basilisk venom," Harry said as they began making their way to the basement kitchen.
"I thought there was a thousand year old basilisk under Hogwarts?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
"I really don't want to tangle with that thing again, I think it's best to just leave it be," Harry said holding the kitchen door open for her.
They soon stepped through the floo both feeling a sense of accomplishment at having captured another fraction of Voldemort's soul.
Peverell Beach House, Cornwall, 8/21/982, 10:37
Harry sat at the table munching on his bacon, Bellatrix was humming happily in between bites of her porridge as she read the paper.
After Tonks borrowed his broom and trashed their bedroom Andromeda had been keeping tonks home, Harry kind of missed her but Bellatrix was over the moon about it.
Harry had sent Sirius a letter asking him to meet Harry at the shrieking shack on the twenty-third, Harry had picked this day because there was an ICW conference in Geneva and Dumbledore was required to attend.
"I think I will go visit Cissa today," Bellatrix said looking up from her paper.
Harry hadn't seen Narcissa since the ritual and was actually starting to wonder about that.
"Okay-
Harry was cut off mid sentence as a large eagle owl flew in through the window and landed in front of him before offering him its leg.
Harry curiously untied the scroll from the bird's leg, as soon the letter was free the owl turned around and flew back out the window.
"Who is that from?" Bella asked curiously.
Looking at the scroll he saw it was sealed with a red ribbon, after untying it he unfurled the parched and saw the Gringotts seal stamped at the bottom of the missive, Harry quickly read through the short letter before looking at Bellatrix.
Harry James Peverell,
I have acquired the item you requested, please come to the bank at your earliest convenience so we can complete your transaction.
Best regard,
Senior Account Manager Longblade
"It's from Gringotts, they located the basilisk venom," Harry said as he read through the short letter again.
"Oh good, we can finally destroy those horrific trinkets," Bellatrix said happily.
"Exactly," Harry said getting to his feet.
"Wait for me before you destroy them, I want to help," Bellatrix said to his back as he made his way to the fireplace.
"I will," Harry said before stepping into the flames.
Gringotts Bank, London, 8/21/1982, 11:13
Harry stepped into the main lobby of Gringotts and approached the nearest free teller before he placed the letter from Longblade on the counter.
"I need to see Longblade, please," Harry said politely when the goblin looked up.
The goblin took the letter and read through it before nodding and sliding off of his stool, "Follow me, Mr Peverell," the goblin said before leading him down the same hallway as the last time he was here.
The walk was fairly short and soon they were standing in front of the door of Longblade's office.
The teller goblin knocked twice before he stuck his head in the door and spoke in goblin tongue for a minute. When he pulled his head back out he turned to Harry and said, " you may enter."
Nodding his thanks Harry pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"Ah Mr Peverell, we were able to acquire the venom, however, the supplier refused to sell any quantity lover than a half ounce," Longblade said as soon as Harry had closed the door.
"How much is a half ounce?" Harry asked as he took the seat Longblade gestured his clawed hand towards.
"Seventeen thousand galleons," Longblade said after looking at a piece of parchment.
"That sounds fair, I'll take it," Harry said after some thought.
"Very well, there is also a five per cent fee for any transactions carried out in Gringotts," Long blade said as he drew up a transfer slip.
"That's acceptable, I also need a goblin made dagger with a trough in the blade, nothing ornate I just need it to be able to absorb that venom," Harry said after mentally crunching the numbers.
"That's easy enough, I can have one pulled from the armoury but it will cost three hundred galleons," Longblade said pausing in his writing waiting for his answer.
"Okay, I'll take it" Harry agreed not concerned with the price all that much.
"That comes to eighteen thousand one hundred and sixty-five galleons," Longblade said as he slid the transfer slip and a blood quill across the desk.
Harry read it over before signing the slip and sliding it back,
"Here is your venom," Longblade said sliding Harry a tiny vial of black liquid and then filling out a slip of paper and sliding it into a slot in his desk.
"I sent the order for your dagger, when you die make sure it is returned to Gringotts," Longblade said in a serious tone.
"Okay, I will place it in my vault in a couple of months, in the event of my death feel free to take it," Harry said unconcernedly.
There was a knock on the door and. small goblin walked in carrying a small wooden box and placing it on Longblade's desk before turning and leaving the office.
Harry watched as Longblade opened the box and took out a plain black handled dagger in a dragonhide sheath, Longblade looked it over for a moment before sliding it across the desk.
Harry took the dagger out of its sheath and noticed the silver blade was polished to a mirror like sheen, the bade was about six inches long and an inch wide at the base, there was a quarter-inch by two-inch wide trough in the blade and both of its edges were razor sharp.
The handle had a sturdy hilt made of Damascus steel and the handle was wrapped in black dragon hide that matched the sheath.
Harry took the dagger and set it on the desk before uncorking the tiny vial of basilisk venom and carefully poured it into the trough of the blade. Harry watched as the blade literally sucked the thick black liquid into it. Once he was satisfied that the dagger had sucked up all the venom Harry carefully sheathed the blade and tucked it into his belt.
"If I might ask, what do you need a weapon like that for?" Longblade asked curiously.
"We have confidentiality in here?" Harry asked.
"Yes as your account manager anything you say will not leave this room," Longblade assured him.
"I have five Horcruxes to destroy," Harry said honestly.
"What?!" Longblade asked sharply.
"Voldemort created five Horcruxes, I'm hunting them down and destroying them," Harry clarified.
"I see, well may god be with you in your task," Longblade said looking highly distressed at the news Voldemort made five of the abominations.
"I have to go, thank you for your assistance Longblade," Harry said getting to his feet.
"Good day Mr Peverell," Longblade said before going back to some paperwork on his desk.
Harry took his leave making a beeline for the door, when he walked down the steps of the bank he spun on the spot and disapparated away.
Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, London, 8/21/1982, 17:58
Harry stepped out of the fireplace in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place and ten seconds later Bellatrix stepped out behind him.
Harry had been looking forward to this since he got home from the bank today.
"You've done this before, is it dangerous?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
"It can be if you're weak willed, they try and defend themselves by messing with your head," Harry admitted as he led the way to the library.
"I am a very good occlumens," Bellatrix assured him as they entered the library.
"I'm decent at it though I had to train my mind it never came naturally for me," Harry admitted as he watched Bellatrix place her palm on the hidden safe.
Once the door opened Harry reached in and grabbed the diary, as it was the first Horcrux it was also the strongest.
Harry dropped it on the floor and shut the vault door, The vault was specifically designed to contain dark magic, in the unlikely event the house was searched it assured that no one could locate it by trace magics from its contents. Harry was thankful for this as it prevented the other Horcruxes from protecting the one he was destroying.
Harry knelt over the Horcrux and drew the goblin made dagger from its sheath and plunged the tip into it, a black cloud burst from the diary and an earsplitting shriek filled the room before the black mist dissipated into nothing leaving only a faint sulfur smell behind.
"That was very loud," Bella complained as she opened the safe and removed Hufflepuff's cup before shutting the door.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about that, they all scream," Harry said as Bellatrix knelt beside him.
"I want to do this one," Bellatrix said holding out her hand expectantly.
"Okay, just don't nick yourself on the blade you'd be dead before you hit the floor," Harry warned as he carefully passed her the dagger.
"I know," Bellatrix said as she scrunched her face up in concentration.
Harry watched as she held the dagger in both hands and raised her hands about a foot above the cup before she stabbed the blade into the cup. The same black cloud burst from the cup, what Harry hadn't noticed last time was the cloud formed into a familiar face, there was the same earsplitting shriek before the cloud vanished into the air.
"The next one is mine," Harry said as he got to his feet and offered Bellatrix his hand.
Once Bella opened the safe Harry removed the locket, he could still remember toting this metallic horror around for three months while on the run from the death eater controlled ministry.
"This one was a real bitch last time around," Harry said absentmindedly.
Harry went back to where he had destroyed the diary, kneeling back on the floor he set the locket down, then he reached over and grabbed the dagger from where Bella had set it down.
"Open you piece of shit," Harry hissed out in parseltongue.
There was a tiny click and the locket opened of its own accord and an eery voice spoke before the locket had even opened.
"Harry Potter I have seen your heart and it is-
Harry stabbed the dagger into the locket as soon as it opened completely cutting off the familiar voice of Tom Riddle midsentence Harry remembered how it got worse the longer Ron hesitated the last time he had destroyed the locket.
There was the same scream as before and black mist burst out of both halves of the locket before fading into the ether leaving the same sulfuric scent behind.
" I get the last one," Bellatrix said as she opened the safe and removed the golden box with the ring in it.
"Just avoid the capstone," Harry told her as she knelt beside him again.
" Okay," Bellatrix said as she opened the box and dumped the ring onto the floor.
"Here," Harry said as he carefully passed her the dagger.
Bellatrix took the dagger in her right hand and hovered over the ring before stabbing the tip into the thick golden band, she quickly leaned back as the black cloud rose from the ring, they both covered their ears as the Horcrux sang its death song.
It still hurt their ears even though their palms were pressed tightly over them, when the black smoke vanished into thin air they both let out a sigh of relief.
"That's finally over with," Harry said as he picked the dagger up from the floor and slipped it back into its sheath.
"Only one more now," Bellatrix said as she started scooping up the broken Horcrux vessels.
"Well technically two, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get that one out of my younger self," Harry said as he picked up the Gaunt ring and pointed his wand at it popping the resurrection stone free from the ring before standing up.
Bellatrix was already on her feet holding the other three items, "I guess we should put these back in the safe," she said.
"All but the locket," Harry said as he tossed the ring into the open safe.
Bella put the cup and diary in the safe before handing him the locket.
"Kreacher," Harry called out.
'Pop'
"Master Harry, what can Kreacher do for you?" Kreacher asked after appearing in front of him.
"Here Kreacher, Regulus' final order has been fulfilled," Harry said handing Kreacher the mangled locket, there was now a nasty blackened hole through the back half of the locket.
Kreacher took the locket and stated at it in shock for a moment before he burst into tears of joy,
"T-thank you master Harry you's too good to poor Kreacher," Kreacher exclaimed emotionally.
"Regulus died trying to destroy Voldemort, he should be honoured," Harry said patting Kreacher on the shoulder as the elf slowly composed himself.
"Thank you, Master Harry, is you needing anything else?" Kreacher asked his voice croakier than normal.
"No Kreacher you may go," Harry said gently.
'pop'
"That was very nice, of you," Bellatrix said with a smile.
"Thanks, let's go home I'm ready for bed," Harry said leading her out of the library.
"Is it too late to visit Professor Peverell?" Bellatrix asked hopefully.
"No, but he won't be spanking you tonight," Harry said as they entered the kitchen.
"What do you mean?" Bellatrix asked as they arrived in front of the fireplace.
"Meet me in my office in thirty minutes and you'll find out," Harry said as he stepped into the fireplace and vanished in a flash of green flames.
Peverell Beach House, Cornwall, 8/21/1982,19:32
Bellatrix approached Professor Peverell's office door, she was wearing her white button up shirt tucked into her plaid knee length skirt, she had on knee high white socks and polished mary janes. She was wearing her Slytherin tie and her hair was in pigtails, she was currently sucking on a lollypop.
She knocked gently on the door and heard Professor Peverell call out, "enter" from the other side of the door.
Absentmindedly she noticed the placard on the door as she pushed the door open.
Professor H.J Peverell
Headmaster of Hardbrooms School of Female Discipline
Bellatrix opened the door to find her professor leaning against the front of his desk looking grim.
"Come in Miss Black," Harry said sternly as he eyed her hungrily.
"Professor, what is this all about?" Bellatrix asked confused as she shut the door behind him.
"I am afraid that your professors are fed up with you, I don't have a choice, I am going to have to expel you," Harry said regretfully.
"No, please I can't be expelled, sir, my parents will be furious," Bellatrix begged.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have a choice, you are a distraction for the other students," Harry sighed as he loosened the tie on his professor's robes.
"Please sir, I'll do anything just please don't expel me," Bellatrix said desperately.
"Anything?" Harry asked curiously.
"Anything Professor," Bellatrix said her eyes shining innocently at him.
"Very well, put your palms on my desk," Harry said stepping away from his desk and indicating where he wanted to stand.
"Okay," Bellatrix said nervously as she approached the desk and placed her palms on his desk before she looked back at him over her shoulder.
"Stay there, if you take your hands off of my desk you can consider yourself expelled," Harry said as he came up behind her.
"Yes Professor," Bellatrix said sounding very nervous.
Harry flipped her skirt up revealing her cotton white panties, he hooked his fingers in the waistband before jerking them over her bum and watching them slide down her legs.
"P-professor," Bellatrix exclaimed in a high pitched voice.
"You want to stay inthis school don't you?" Harry asked as kneeled down and lifted her leg.
"Y-yes Professor," Bellatrix stuttered out.
"Then no more questions," Harry said sternly as he unbuckled her shoe and slipped it off.
Harry peeled her sock off before sliding her knickers over bare foot and letting her place it back on the floor then he lifted her other leg and removed her other shoe and sock before sliding her knickers all the way off.
"Spread your legs wider, Miss Black," Harry said standing back up and unbuttoning his outer robes.
"Yes sir," Bellatrix said as she widened her stance.
Harry finished unbuttoning his robes and let them slide off of his shoulders leaving him wearing a button up shirt and slacks.
Harry reached his hand between her legs and ran his fingers over her slit making Bellatrix squeal in surprise.
"Oh, my Miss Black you're very excited aren't you?" Harry taunted as he wiggled his fingers through her folds.
"Yes Pr-professor," Bellatrix whimpered softly.
Harry removed his hand from her slit and unbuckled his belt before he unbuttoned his pants and freed his cock from his boxers.
"Are you ready to earn your place in this school?" Harry asked as he guided the tip of his cock to her entrance.
"Y-yes professor," Bellatrix said sounding equal parts nervous and excited.
Harry pushed his hips forward burying his shaft in her, Bellatrix threw her head back and moaned.
"You are ah so tight," Harry groaned as he slid deeper inside her.
Bellatrix fell forward to where her cheek was pressed into the surface of his desk, Harry pulled his hips back before thrusting forward pushing himself even deeper inside her
"Oh, t-that is so deep!" Bellatrix exclaimed as Harry pulled back again.
Bellatrix had been a lot of help today so he decided to suffer through another one of her dirty teacher fantasies.
He had to admit that shagging her while she was bent over his desk with her schoolgirl skirt flipped up was really hot.
Harry focused back on the present and got back to making her earn her place at Hardbrooms.
