Bellatrix was laying in wait for Avery when he came out of the Manor. Bellatrix came out from the alcove to confront him.
“Well, still count Bane as one of our number after experiencing what he and his Disciples do first hand.” she said smugly.
“You know what I think?” He paused staring at her. “I think we need to get hold of those kids as quickly as possible.” He put his hand on the pillar behind her making her nervous. But she bounced back from it well enough.
“That will not be an easy task. They know were after them now. I don’t think that the boys will want the little Granger chit getting back in Bane’s grasp.”
“You know what the scary part of this is? It is how capable the little brats are. I was watching out. And I am the best at getting away clean. I know MacNair is bit off but Rookwood was watching out and warding out our path right on top of me and he’s no amateur either. Then for us to use a port key that is hard to follow, not impossible mind you, but very hard. Then we left a guard at the port key and flew quite a ways to the location. Through the woods to backward no where hundreds of miles of wards and nothing to leave a sign. If they can could trace us through all those precautions. What else are they capable of doing?” He seemed worried but continued “My wards should have at least detected any pursuit. How did they track us without us even knowing? I just don’t see how its even possible.”
“Maybe you did not do as good a job as you think given that you were distracted screaming at me the entire way. And then have you ever thought that your ward could have been traced back to us. Trace the wards one after another. Like a trail of bread crumbs right back to the ginger bread house!!! With you and Rookwood throwing them up you may as well drawn a magic trail. Merlin’s pants, you may as well sent them a map by owl mail!” Avery leans back into the wall. He screws his face into a grimace and hits the wall.

“Sneaky little Brats! Given what we have seen out of them so far that’s entirely posable. Difficult, very difficult to do with out triggering the wards but possible for a very sneaky talented wizard.That’s a trick worthy of Slytherin. Merlin’s hairy butt cheeks. I guess I do have to take that one to my shame. If it was not Potter I would not have believed it posable. I am sorry Bella I got us into this mess. I can’t explain how sorry I really am.”
“Screw up again and I’ll leave a scar on that hide of yours you’ll never be able to heal. But that is advanced stuff thinking of them as children will do us no good.”
“Yeah, I know. It’s what given us so much trouble. Next time no underestimating them. I don’t care if they are just kids they are old enough to die in my book. Last ministry report stated that Potter had trained the whole lot of them at a Hogwarts’s dueling club. We need to start thinking of this not as a dueling club but them being forged into some wizarding army. Well trained, disciplined, and combat prepared. Any way, how do I make this up to you and Rodolphus?”
“Nothing much you can do on that note. Because of what he has done I have no choice but to send him off for a while. He let his other head speak for him last night. I will have to talk to Lucius and Cissy about how to handle things. See where they are at before my next move.”
“Can I ask you a personal question?” Bella Stiffens. “You don’t have to say yes. I was just curious.”
“Go ahead and ask. If you cross the line you will know.” she smirks wickedly tapping her wand. Making Avery nervous. He proceeds with caution.
“I- have never seen you and Rodolphus. Well, display affection openly. When you were escorted out he cursed under his breath and nearly beat his gems into a woman that look a lot like you. He seems to care a lot. I-”
“Stop, tripping over yourself. You want to know what relationship I have with my husband.” she sighs. “Avery, I have been hounded by Bane for decades. I am not worth much in that department any more. I don’t feel pleasure from sex. I do it with him in the dark. I care about Rodolphus very much but I send him to brothels because I can’t handle satisfying his needs. I looked.

He has not drained a knut from the account in months.” She looks down at her hands.
“That’s alright Dove. I am sorry. I did not mean to pry into that much.”
“You have been thrown into the mix. Lucky for you Bane did not pay much attention to you. He was too busy raping Cissy.”
“Mind Raping Lucius was more like it. The whole ordeal he catered to him. Trying to make him break. Lucius finally did snap enough to storm across the room. I was being buggered by the mudblood male and MacNair when it happened. The crowd quickly turned in on Lucius. He probably would have been hexed half to death if he had moved one more step closer.” He hung his head.
Bella placed her wand under his chin lifting it. “ You’d be right to hex me you know.” Avery retorted. “He- your husband wants you Bella. He was hoping for a chance to rape you he wanted you so much. They must of known that to because they had brought people with a similar look to you with them. Just one night and it was more then I could hardly stand. I keep telling my self I must have fucked up. Rookwood is almost nuttiers. Don’t know How MacNair is taking things he almost did not get his cloths spelled on before running from the Manor. I can’t image being put through this for years. The least I owe you is to have a talk with Rodolphus. He is not going to take this well. He was falling apart before he left and drunk as a honey badger on Halloween. He got into Lucius’s mugwort brandy and wiped out the bottle. and knowing Lucius it was the real stuff not a knock off.”
“Crap,” Bella muttered “Count on it being the real stuff, Cissy inherited the company from our dad. Rodolphus can handle his liquor better than any wizard I know, but if there was much left in that bottle ......No one can handle that much laudanum, spiked with mugwort mixed in alcohol. He’ll be hung-over for days.If he gets a hold of the real stuff again a few more times he’ll be addicted to it. I would not put it past Bane’s followers to hand it to him to get him under their control. There is some muggle stuff they are likely to give him after that. Simon Magus' Shaggy Shanks. Avery, if you really do want to make it up to us keep an eye of Rodolphus. Keep him drunk if you want but keep him off the mugwort Brandy and any muggle drugs that are liable to show up for him. If any muggle drugs start to show up start looking for Bane’s people they will not be far behind.”

Meanwhile The Weasleys are getting ready for Fleur and Bills wedding and The Trio had just escaped Mrs Weasley’s list of chores to discuss matters. The day before the book starts on : Chapter Six The Ghoul in Pajamas of Deathly Hallows.

Hermione Sat at the edge of Ron’s bed. “Ron when you said I would always be welcome here I was not expecting to become a chamber maid.” She wiped the dust off her clothes. Picking dust bunnies from her hair.
“What is up with your mother anyway?”
“She just worried 'Mione give her break.”
“I would like a break. I am worn out. I would head to the kitchen for some pumpkin juice but I am too afraid I will get assigned something else.”
“What have you been doing this whole time anyway?”
“Collecting dirty socks off the floor. And doing research.” Ron started pulling papers from here and there under his and Harry’s beds. The were scattered and some had spots of jam or other splashes of food or drink. He handed her a photo with a plop of something brown on it.
“Charming, do I even want to ask what is on it.”
“That would be treacle tart. But look at the parents in the picture they are in front of there kid like they are trying to protect them. They filed a rape report and later dropped it. In about a week after that they joined Voldemort. Look.” He handed her some other papers. Some with photos.

“All of them, the same thing. One of the big mysteries surrounding Voldemorts rise to power was how he got so many unlikely witches and wizards to support him so quick. Many of Voldemorts most fanatical followers in those early days were ideologically opposed to every thing he stood for.” Hermione looked over the papers.
“I have most of the Ministry reports. The more I look into to this. The more I am convinced that it is the real Elijah Bane.” at that point Harry had snuck into the room.
“If anyone asks. You did not see me.”
“Same here.” Hermione said.
“I just finished weeding the garden and then Mrs Weasley was talking about seeing Garden Gnomes near the back fence. I disappeared when Ginny asked her a question. The Gnomes will not stay out they keep coming back.”
“What have you two been doing?” He looked at the papers. Undeterred by Ron’s food stains and clutter.
“It’s research on Bane.”
“Well, I guess the question is do we go after Voldemort first or Bane? I think Voldemort is the biggest threat to the wizarding world. It may take us months, years really, to track down the horcruxes every day that the die. He already almost taken over the Ministry with his spies. Bane-” harry sighs.

“No offense Hermione. You may not want to here this but...He is just a rapist and a killer. Like many other rapist on Voldemorts pay roll. ” Harry asked.
“I agree we should go after Voldemort. And the best plan is to lay low until we find all the horcruxes.” Hermione said she was looking at her hand and rubbing it. Then looked anywhere but the two young wizards.
Ron’s neck went red. He total lost it. “This is Hermione we are talking about! How can you just pass that over like it’s nothing! Mate! We can’t let him get away with this!” Ron had automatically grabbed up his wand the tip blazing red
“Ron! Calm down. It does not make a difference. So I was stupid and got caught. That does not make me any different then anyone Dolohov or Grey Back have taken. We have to look at a bigger picture”
She jumped when Ron rested his hand on her shoulder. He lifted her chin looking into her eyes. He has calmed down and wants to know were she is at. She made a small grin and hugged him.
“You going to be alright?” Ron asked.
“I will be okay.” she said in a proud voice gaining her composer.
“Alright, we need to talk about this matter. I for one think your wrong. Don’t take it the wrong way but your two did not grow up in the magical world. Look at these people.” He issues to the many papers in piles in the room. quickly bringing him up to speed on what Hermione and him had said “This explains a lot. Voldemort rose to power too quick. Even for a dark wizard as scary as he is. He obviously has more in his pocket then the imperius curse and much more affective too. I say we take Bane out of the picture then we cut much of his support. Others will then follow. With Bane out of the picture with every horcruxes we destroy more and more of Voldemorts support will evaporate as his people become demoralized without the threat of Bane. I really believe Many of the death eaters will start running out on him like rats fleeing a sinking ship.”
“Ron I think you are making too big of a matter of this. I think it is the real Bane too but that does not mean he is any more important then any of the others in Voldemort’s camp. Of course he uses other means to coerce people into joining besides the unforgivable curses.”
Harry broke into the conversation. “I have my doubts that it is Bane. Besides There have been plenty of others pretending to be The Bane from Hogwarts. I had talked with Lupin about it. And I trust him.”
“I have that information also mate. But you don’t get it. The people pretending to be the Phantom Bane never measured up. They were drooling trolls. This Bane is smart and wicked good at putting a hurt on you with out making a mess, they were not. The other Phantoms also used way too much magic. The real Bane is shadows and ghost stories. It’s not his method. Not the real Bane. He has been here before Voldemort. You can’t grasp him. It’s just shadows and wisp. All these people raped no evidence of magic tampering or hexing in the mediwizard report. Most of Voldemort’s men... still use both wands if you know what I mean.”
“I think it is the real Bane also. I will be back.” She exits the room. Ron and Harry argue about Ron being to out of things because of the matter involving Hermione.
Hermione returns she opens her hand flicking her wand to produce two thick files. One read ' Miss Milligan’s Home for Wayward Boys’ The other read ‘Magical Connections and Contacts‘
“Elijah Bane was the last member of the noble line of Bane. His muggle mother and he were thrown out of the magical world and the estate which was fairly fast was looted by other noble houses.” She takes some neatly spello taped papers from the Magical Connections and Contacts file handing it over to Ron. She also handed him a blue slip out of the other file.
“Samuel Bones was the only one to speak up for Bane’s mother but in the end handing a noble magical estate handed over to a muggle and her half blood child of 6 years was considered to be an outrage.”
“A large chunk of Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange aka “Blacks” wealth are from major holdings of the Bane’s Estate to this day. It’s Really not significant other then the Blood lust Bane has for them.”
Ron held up a picture. It was the same happy family that he himself had in his papers. So, this is how such a happy family and the boy smiling and waving in the picture had turned to be such a horror. They, the other pure bloods, possible even his own family; had taken everything the family owned and turned them out in the gutters of the muggle world until the boy had reached school age. By the report the mother had been found dead with her child with her at the time. Bane was nine years old when this happened. There was also a report about possible fowl play with the child. Abuse, neglect, prostitution charges, solicitation of a minor, and a few other charges. The child was Possibly involved in the death of the mother because of abuse to the child. The death report read drug overdose laudanum. Possible head trauma. The officers were uncertain if she was hurt in a fall or was bashed in the head while passed out. It was the 1930‘s muggle forensic science was rather limited at the time Hermione pointed out.
“I wondered what could happen to turn that child into a monster.” he handed the Quidditch paper to Hermione showing the family laughing and very affectionate. “What had changed beside the fathers death in a Quidditch match. This is horrible. Especially given they loved each other so much. There is even a book based on their love story.”
“Bane is a perfect storm as far as I can tell. He has had many things leading up to what making what he is today. But something was there already it just had to have a situation to bring it out. And did you say book? I have never read anything like it.”
“Yeah I said love story. A wizarding love story. It’s on my mother’s night table.It was a Best seller. Now its considered a classic. “The Emerald Forest. “Two worlds, Two hearts, One arrow” Hermione looks at him questioningly. Ron continues. “ It’s a romance between a pureblood wizard and muggle. What they go through in magical society to keep together.”
“Yeah I have read it. never realized it was the same Bane till now.” Harry said. Hermione looking at them like they both gone blarney.
“And how did you two come to read this-- Romance Novel?” She asked trying to repress a smile.
“It’s like the muggle equivalent of Lady Chatterley's Lover. You know.” Harry blushed.
“Yeah, I know what Lady Chatterley's Lover is.” She sighs. “Do you have a copy of this The Emerald Forest?”
“Yeah, sure.” He digs out a ear ragged worn out novel. Paper back with a torn spine. “It’s starts out when they meet from his point of view. They meet in a forest she had run away from her Step father. At first she thinks he is going to hurt her. He has a weird air about him and she is young and lost. Which according to Dodge Wick the author he meet her just as was described in the book. He is the last of an old respected wizarding family and the seeker for the Applebee Arrows, they fall madly in love with each other. The wizarding world gets all offended because this prestigious wizard marries a muggle. Well it goes through his trying to get her accepted. Fights over her honor. Then it ends as they get accepted after the Applebee Arrows famous 16 day game against the Vratsa Vultures in 1932.”
“32“ Hermione mumbled deep in thought. She was scanning over the novel. “He died in 33.”
“Let me get this straight. The wizard and woman in that book was based on the Ghost of Bane’s parents. He had been the last of the line in a large Wizarding empire and he fell in love with this muggle. They...” Ron interrupted Harry.

“Actually the book is supposed to be a true story Bane Sr. authorized it being written but died before it was published.”
“Given some of the scenes in the book I doubt it.” Harry looked at his hands chuckling a bit. Hermione looked over and shook her head punching him lightly on the shoulder.
“Well like I said it was published after he died, mate.” Ron chuckled.
“So, like I was saying. The Ghost of Bane’s Parents were heir to one of the richest financial empires of the wizarding world but when his Father died in a Quidditch match the wizarding pure bloods turned on them because his mother was a muggle who married a wealthy wizard. They then looted the Bane estate. ---It’s interesting and all but what does this have to do with wither or not we go after Voldemort or the Phantasm that is Bane?” Harry stated.
“If this is the real Bane and I am convinced that it is. He will be easy to trace down.”
Hermione rolled her eyes. “If it IS the real Bane. He will be subtle and try not to leave a trace. How are we going to find him?”
“That’s just it he is going to have very limited places he can go. I have listened to my father for years talking about work. He’s been excommunicated that means he will have to go to very select sources to get supplies cauldron, potions supplies, books, restaurants and pubs to get magical food. All of that is very limited to a person in that position. especially with him trying to not be noticed or remembered.”
“Ron you have to be daft there are so many places, hidden places that he could go to.”
“I agree with Hermione. There would be lots of places he could go. The muggle world and the Americas. Now that his best mate has practically taken over he probably runs more freely now. Look, I have done my own research. He takes out a black journal and a few papers. Sirius said That Bane had been a student at Hogwarts that went crazy. He went into hiding on the Hogwarts grounds. He had started raping people that were alone in the school. When they finally found him they broke his wand. They debated about sending him to Azkaban or even giving him the kiss but because of his history a couple of people in the Bones family spoke up for him said the child had been tormented enough. Later because the incident was so horrific it created a legend that Bane was still haunting the lower corridors and not to go alone into the bath rooms. Well eventually this lead to a copy cat rapes and murders. Many were copy cat rapist. Then there were the people that went hysterical claiming they were haunted by Bane. Most of which were using it as an excuse to release pent up sexual fantasies. Here is a folder that contains profile’s of people that went mad and thought they were being haunted including notes and papers Sirius filed on Bellatrix to get her commented to St. Mungo’s. He’s just a boogie man. even if and i really doubt that it is, the real bane it would be like chasing a shadow in the dark.”
“I’m sorry but you just didn’t grow up in this world. The wizarding world really isn’t that big. Everybody knows everybody. Its just a courtesy to look the other way in certain parts of town. Listen its damn near impossible to be that invisible if someone is hunting you. If it is the real Bane we can track him. Mate and when we get rid of him. I’m telling you You know Who’s support will evaporate. You two did not grow up in this world. I am telling you. It is not as big as you think.”
“Yes and as for Voldemorts support of Bane there is little that Voldemort cares about even an old friend.” Hermione stated.
“Your chasing a ghost. It’s not going to work. He is no different then Dolohov or Grey Back. In the end he’s just a rapist. even if we did find him and stop him what's to stop Voldemort from just using some other sick monster to achieve the same ends? People get hurt. If we wait to find the Horcruxes Voldemort will grow in power and more people are going to die. Every extra day it takes us to find the Horcruxes more people will die.How do you expect to get to Bane? He has followers from what you said Hermione. That and being a shadow. The longer we wait the more chance of people around us getting hurt and killed. What if you had been taken by Dolohov would it have made a difference? ” Hermione shuttered. She took an intake of breath at this. Harry thought he was going to hear a lecture against his arguments but what was really going on inside was a nightmare. A night mare about getting back into Bane’s hands again. The fear over took her. She could not cope with ending back with Bane, She had to put some distance between her and him, Ron had turned red as a beet.
“Your right, I am sorry Ron but I have to go with Harry on this one. We are just chasing after Crumple Horned Snooks.” She looked over at Ron. His will to fight drained in her eyes. He pulled her close to his chest stroking her hair.
“Your wrong, but alright we go after Voldemort first.”
“I promise as soon as we stop Voldemort we will go after Bane or who ever he really is with everything we’ve got.” Harry said.
To follow our heroes turn to page: p86 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows keep reading until Chapter Eight The Wedding were we will pick up in the next Chapter of this story. With a appearance from Lord Voldemort the day before the wedding at the first of the chapter.

A day later at Malfoy Manor:
“Lucius you been up since last night. It’s early morning now come to bed.” He had the house elves running around cleaning and destroying some items in the dinning area Bane had been in. The clean up was going on for days and it still was not rid of the stench of him and his followers.
“Alright. I’ll be up in a minute.” he averted his eyes from her.
“That’s what you said many hours ago Lucius. Darling look at me.” Narcissa went up to her husband placing her hand on his cheek. She poured him a glass of Liquid Courage Scotch handing it up to him and backing away.
“Thanks. I am not sleeping today. So, I will not be drinking this.” he swirled the glass in front of him. He had saw his wife slip the sleeping draught into it.
“You know I have been thinking. Come lets go to your study.” She held out her hand. He took it.
“Keep cleaning up this mess.”He hissed at a house elf with one ear half missing “And get rid of that table!” The table had been a family heirloom. Handed down from Simon Magus himself, but now to Lucius it was defiled to the point of not even being saleable.
“Yes em sir.” The little elf squeaked back.

They entered the study. She pushed him back into the chair at his desk.
“What is this about?”
“We need to find a more permanent solution to Bane. I have been thinking recent events have shown that the Dark Lord will not be enough.”
“What would we do other wise.” Lucius scoffed back.
“Maybe it’s time we think about making plans just in case the Boy wins. The Dark Lord has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory over and over again when facing that boy. We maybe on the wrong side.”
“And do you think that accursed Boy is going to help against Bane. I would not put it passed Bane to have aided the Boy just to get close to us, to discredit us and to have the rest of the Blacks handed over to Him. Have you ever thought that that maybe the reason?”
“Never less we need to make plans. With you disarmed maybe we can stay out of it and if things go badly we will still be able to fight later. Instead of having our hands tied.”
“What about Draco? He has already been called in.” Lucius gowned.
“I know but if the Boy does win we must find a way to change sides. We will just have to wait and see what opportunities arise. Its time we make plans to play both sides to our benefit.”
Lucius smiles and takes her hand kissing it. “I knew there was a reason I married you.”
