This choice: Bellatrix's clique join the Death Eaters/Removes any evidence of her deeds • Go Back...Chapter #24Bellatrix cements control first by: Aaa   (Sorry about the delay. I've been moving house, as well as deal with nagging injuries. Things have just been frustrating, and doing chapters hasn't been my top priority. I'm starting to get back into it, now that I've taken some time and found some newer ideas. I found a image for a Dark Fleur, from some abandoned evil Fleur roleplay account: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/116...)
Bellatrix had her followers line up in front of her, and altered their minds. She had so much fun corrupting each and everyone of them, having lured them here under her old identity. Of course the real Bellatrix could never interfere with her plans again, and she planned for no one to interfere with her plans. She was erasing traces of their old lives, of anything that fit in, that would make them question whether they really served Bella. Whether they served the dark and wished to be Death Eaters
Her 'daughters' were first. Cassiopeia, Lysandra and Dorea had any knowledge of being anyone but who they were erased, new memories taken in. "Should anyone question you on the names Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood or Ginny Weasley, you are be vague, and lure them into a secluded area. Make sure they are brought into the fold, and bring them to in Hogsmeade on weekends, and I will complete their re-education."
To Fleur and Nymphadora, she had them keep their old lives, but new memories added, and old memories removed made them believe they were her loyal apprentices, having been living lies as double agents. She planned to get them jobs at Hogwarts, to keep an eye on her developing flock, and to help them corrupt others. "You must play the act of Order members still my girls. Protect my daughters, guide them, and when possible, have reasonable excuses to punish Gryffindor and reward Slytherin."
"It shall be done Aunt Bellatrix. Your wish is my command." "Ce sera fait ma sombre maîtresse" They responded. She, Fleur, and Nymphadora began altering the appearances of each girl. Nothing to radical, a few facial structures, noses like her own, gorgeous grey eyes, and jet black hair, or rather black roots in Lysandra and Dorea. Once that was done, she had Nymphadora and Fleur travel to Diagon Alley with her daughters, for she couldn't travel herself.
Dora and Fleur took the young girls into Diagon Alley, leading them into Gringott's first, then Ollivanders. "Wotcher Gerrick!" 'Tonks' said, as if greeting an old friend. "Got a few girls here, mostly home schooled, and we needed some proper wands for them, their old ones were stolen." She said, Fleur nodding and going along. Ollivander looked over the girls, hadn't he seen them before somewhere? But he couldn't place it, and assumed his mind was playing tricks in his old age.
"Very well, let us see." He said, testing various wands in the hands of the girls. He went through quite a few, before taking three triplet wands he had in the back of his store, wondering if they would work. Each had Dragon Heartstring as the core, one was Red Oak, one was Pine, and the last was Yew. He had long ago suspected they would end up in the hands of dark witches, and only could hope he was wrong, about the wands, about them being the ones for the girls. The dark smirks on each of their faces when the wands chose them sank his heart. But what could he do? The Aurors wouldn't accept hearsay, and perhaps he was just paranoid.
"You never told me what the names of these young ladies are Miss Tonks." Upon hearing the name Tonks, a dark, furious look passed Nymphadora's face, but was gone so quick Gerrick Ollivander was sure he was going senile. "Private information, sorry Mr Ollivander, it's Auror business." She said, leaving quickly. The rest of the trip was mostly quick and no nonsense, taking the girls to each and every store, and buying them proper, high quality supplies. Only the best could do for a member of the House of Black. Once everything was handled, Nymphadora and Tonks gave the girls some spending money, and let them roam Knockturn Alley. With their clothes and new look, they fit right in with the scenery, nobody suspicious of them.
Meanwhile Bellatrix was arranging other matters. With Minerva McGonnogal under the Imperious Curse, getting her daughters into Hogwarts was easy, and planting the idea into Dumbledore's mind to hire Nymphadora and Fleur would be child's play. Now she only had to get ready for the Dark Lord, and prepare an excuse as to how she had raised her daughters while still being in Azkaban.
The day finally arose, and dressed in black robes, the five traveled to Malfoy Manor to meet the Dark Lord. "So Bellatrix, you say you have been raising these young relatives of yours as your daughters, and have garned two young apprentices. Impressive for someone supposedly locked away in Azkaban until a few years ago." The Dark Lord said, searching Bella's mind. She of course had shields, but the Dark Lord was led to believe he had been let inside and privy to all her secrets.
Voldemort smiled at Bellatrix's genius, looking at her with snakelike eyes. "Impressive indeed. I have gathered enough to know you speak the truth Bella, but please, educate the rest on your resourcefulness." He said. Bellatrix pretended to look at him with affection and lust, though all men, especially the serpentine Voldemort disgusted her. This disgust was passed onto her subjects, but they could not reveal such disgust right now.
"I was not foolish enough to let myself be locked away in Azkaban. I let some foolish mad woman take the fall for me, it made no difference to Dementors. She was a filthy muggle, forced to believe completely that she was really me. She was captured a second time, and I still have her ready. I would have searched for my lord, but my cousin Sirius left the House of Black destitute. I have more daughters, but only these three are truly ready to join you." She said. No one questioned where Rodolphus was in all this. While she couldn't admit to cheating, it was well known their marriage was a sham.
At the mention of Sirius, Lysandra growled furiously. In her twisted mind, Sirius was her biological father, who had left her to go on the run. She had never known her biological mother, but that didn't matter, for her Aunt Bellatrix eagerly took her as a daughter, a sister to Dorea and Cassiopeia. "Do mind Lysandra. Sirius was her father, and I have been all to happy to stoke that anger at him inside her." She said with a cackle. The Dark Lord waved his hand, meaning to get things over and done with. "Form a line, and come forth and receive your marks."
Dorea was the first, accepting the pain gladly ."I live to please my lord." She said in a sultry tone. Next was Lysandra, who stared at Voldemort the entire time, not even flinching. "I am yours to command my lord." She said, in a cold tone that indicated she would not flinch at even the most brutal of tasks. After that, Cassiopeia stepped up, not even seeming to notice the pain. "I obey your every word my lord." She said, eager to torture someone. Lastly, Nymphadora and Fleur took their places, kneeling before Voldemort. They said nothing, only returning to Bellatrix.
"Welcome to my new followers. I hope that you will serve with pleasure and utmost loyalty. Our young 'daughters' of Bellatrix has a assignment, they will be attending Hogwarts soon, and their role, along with a few other young Death Eaters, will be bypassing Hogwarts' defenses. By the end of the year, we will have Death Eaters inside Hogwarts." And with that, the meeting ended, and Bellatrix and her brood returned to their manor. "You played your roles well my darling girls. Have your fun, and get some sleep, we have some work to do in the coming days!"
Of course, she wasn't just going to send them into enemy territory by themselves. "During your time at Hogwarts you will meet a girl in your year named Loraine Inkwood. She will be my representative, and you treat her as a friend in public, in private as my representative." She said cackling. She had thought of many disguises, including ironically disguising herself as her former self, Harry Potter. But she decided a random Pureblood disguise wouldn't raise to many questions.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
