CHAPTER FIVE: Part Three; Unsuspecting Events
Scorpius's PoV
I stood there like an idiot, gaping at the spot where my dead great-aunt and invisible best friend had vanished. I whirled to face the two strange men, "Who are you? Who was she supposed to rescue? And where the heck does my great aunt fit into this equation?!"
They looked at each other, then the one on the left (I made a mental note to find out their names, if they had any) said, "The rescue mission is for her....."
"How the heck could it have been for her if she wasn't kidnapped before you got here?" I snapped at them irritably.
"We have our orders, we were just carrying them out," one of the men said.
"How do we get her back..my aunt is a murderer! She'll kill Bethany if she finds out she's there!" I yelled at them, now not caring who heard me yelling at thin air...
One of the men (I really needed to figure out their names...) said bitterly (Hey! He showed emotion), "Bellatrix knows alright. She knew along that Bethany was here. She knew that you could see her. She knew how to get her." At my blank expression the man drew a long deep sigh of frustration. "She was the cause of her disappearance in the first place!"
Again, I blinked in confusion. I must've seemed pretty dumb, but what they were saying made no sense. "How? Bethany told me that an old Witch at the train station in her first year cursed her because she bumped into her."
One of the men grumbled under their breath, I didn't know what he said, but I'm sure it wasn't nice. "Okay I'll put it slowly," the more talkative one began, "the old witch was Bellatrix, probably using Polly Juice Potion. She was intending to take her right then, but then something happened, we aren't sure what, that made Bellatrix leave."
"Why the heck would Bellatrix do that?!" I called wildly, now I was panicking, knowing that my friend was in the hands of a crazy, sadistic, murderer.
The men answered at the same time, "Because she wants to finish what You-Know-Who started."
I swayed on the spot, she wanted Bethany to...kill?! "She would never do that," I stated defensively.
The one on the right answered, "She will if she is persuaded correctly."
"How is that?"
"Being able to be seen again."
I opened my mouth, then closed it. Well, maybe he was right. I probably would have taken the deal myself. But she was different, she didn't like violence...well, actually, I wouldn't quite know, if she wanted to hit people, her hand would have gone right through them..except for me. And she only hit me once, but I deserved that... "Well how do we rescue her?" was what I asked instead.
There was silence, "We think Bellatrix took her to Malfoy Manor. You used to live there. Therefore, you know the place better then any one we could possible ask. You need to rescue her Scorpius. That and, if Bethany is still invisible, then you are the only one that could help her."
Translated, I needed to break into Malfoy Manor, and if Bethany was too beat up to do anything, it was my job to carry her out. I was non too thrilled with my assignment.
