Chapter 21: Cursed
The black haired woman with grey eyes had found that her head was feeling less foggy then it had before. It wasn’t until she read the Daily Prophet that morning that she felt her head clear even more and then she read something that pissed her off to no end. This wasn’t what she had wanted! This was slaughter! Genocide! If they kept up with this, their kind would all be killed off.
Getting up, the woman went to find her husband. She just hoped that he would see things like she did.
Both Severus and Lucius knew just who the group of people that were standing at the gates of Hogwarts late evening of the day the article had come out. For some reason, neither man was surprised that the group of people were standing at the gates.
Fawkes flashed onto Lucius’ shoulder and trilled. “They won’t be able to hurt anyone if you let them in, Light One. Take their wands and Hogwarts will bind their magic. Dark Snarky One has his own idea on finding out what they want.”
“Thank you, Fawkes.” Lucius said. “You have Veritaserum in one of your many pockets, don’t you, Sev?”
“More than one, Luc.” Severus said.
“Then how many?”
“Ten.” Severus said.
“Sev, I think you just may be more paranoid than Mad-eye Moody.” Lucius said.
“Normally, I only have seven on me, but things have been changing for us, Lucius. Soon Riddle will realize that we are against him.” Severus said.
“I see your point. How about we put your potion into good use?” Lucius asked.
Severus smirked. “Yes, let’s. I have wanted to ask a few of them some things for a while.”
Lucius and Severus walked down to the gates in silence. Fawkes sitting on Lucius’ shoulder was even quiet and at times the fiery bird was more talkative than some women are. Once at the gate and able to see the ten people right on.
“If you are going to enter these grounds, you will have to listen to the rules. You will hand over all your wands, even the spares. Once all the wands are handed over and you all have been checked over for no other weapons or potions, you will be allowed inside. Once we are in the castle and into a secure room, you will take Veritaserum and asked a series of questions. If any questions are not in our favour, you will be handed over to the Ministry.” Lucius said in a hard commanding tone in his voice that made you just want to listen and obey.
“We accept your terms, Headmaster.” Answered the only woman, Bellatrix Lestrange.
With that, they pulled out their wands and put them on the ground in front of the gate. As Lucius and Severus started to cast charms to check over the nine men and one woman, Fawkes flashed to the other side of the gate and started to pick up the wands one by one.
It surprised Lucius and Severus a little that they found nothing else on the ten people standing in front of the gates.
Lucius stepped forward and tapped the gates with his wand, opening the gate and letting the ten people into the grounds of Hogwarts. Once, all ten were inside, Lucius tapped the gates again and closed the gates. When the lock on the gate clicked closed, Lucius turned and moved to stand with Severus.
“We will be going down into the dungeons, so you better follow Severus. Hogwarts will not let you hurt anyone. She will only help us if you should change your mind.” Lucius said. “Ready, Severus?”
“Of course, Lucius.” Severus said.
“Then go on. Fawkes and I will be following behind everyone.” Lucius said.
Twenty minutes later, they were in a chamber not far from Severus’ rooms. The nine men and one woman sat on wooden chairs already sitting in the room.
“We will start on the left and go one at a time, questioning everyone one at a time.” Lucius said. “Severus, go ahead.”
Severus pulled a bottle of Veritaserum and moved over to the first person. The woman opened her mouth and let Severus put three drops of Veritaserum on her tongue.
“What is your name?” Severus asked.
“Bellatrix Lestrange Nee Black.”
“When is your date of birth?”
“February 28, 1951.”
“What is your reason for coming here to Hogwarts?”
“I read the Daily Prophet and found my mind clearing up. I was disgusted with what I read. Tom Riddle is wiping out our kind. Magical beings. All he is doing is genocide and I never agreed to that. It was more of what Lucius told the Prophet that I agreed to. But with all the dark magic Riddle did, he turned insane.”
“Then why did you and a few others attack the Longbottom’s on November tenth of 1981?”
“I wouldn’t have done anything like that.” Bella said. “Alice is my sister in-law and I would never harm her. All I remember besides reading the Prophet this morning is going to St. Mungo’s on September 18, 1979 to have my baby girl. Do you know where she is, Severus?”
“Baby girl?”
“Yes. She was born with black hair like mine, but has her Father’s hazel eyes. She was born early on the nineteenth. She would be seventeen now and in her sixth year.”
Severus looked at Lucius shocked. He never thought that it was possible that the Lestrange’s had nothing to do with the Longbottom’s attack.
“Bella, after you had your girl, what was the last thing you remember before this morning when you read the paper?” Lucius asked.
“I woke up in the middle of the night, someone was in my room. Rodolphus should have been with Rabastan getting some tea. It wasn’t either of them, I knew. I was still a little out of it from the pain potions I had been given and the lost of energy from having my Rhea. The person cast a spell at me silently and my mind went foggy until I read that Kathlyn Malfoy is alive.”
It was obvious to Severus that the Veritaserum was now out of her system.
“Bella, we will find your daughter.” Severus said. “I have an idea on where to look.”
“Thank you, Severus, so much. Ayden was always right when she said that you were a good person.” Bella said.
“What about Ayden?”
“Well, I had been in Hogsmeade visiting with my sisters and Lily, well, Ayden now, was with Severus there and I heard her say that Severus was a good person.” Bella said.
An hour later, it was obvious that the three Lestrange’s only memories went along with Bella’s. Rodolphus and Rabastan had just been returning to Bella’s room from having some tea. They walked into the room and were hit with a spell. The only thing that they remembered until that morning when Bella got them to read the article and their minds cleared.
Severus had decided that he would use a spell to check if the Lestrange’s had been cursed. Twenty-five minutes later and he had his answer.
“Bella, Rodolphus and Rabastan, you three have been cursed. An old dark curse at that. Nebulosus Mens.” Severus said.
“Misty Mind, that makes sense now. The curse fogs the mind and makes it easier for whoever cast it to do as they want to the cursed.” Bella said.
“I know one thing about this curse; it can’t make the cursed hurt someone they never would hurt.” Severus said.
“The cursed wouldn’t act like the Imperious curse.” Rodolphus said in a voice even deeper than Severus’.
“Then that would mean that you three really didn’t harm the Longbottom’s.” Lucius said. “Sev, can you think of one person that would want to get the Longbottom’s out of the way? You know that both Frank and Alice are strong magically and two of the best Aurors since Mad-eye Moody was in his prime and not so paranoid.”
“Yes, I can and thankfully locked up. I also think that I know where Rhea Lestrange is.” Severus said.
