Shock filled the room at Voldemort's words. They stared at him unsure if they had heard him correctly or not. 

"She's your what?" They asked. 

"And my mother" Bella added, which confirmed Melino's suspicions, as she forced her self to stand up as she walked over to Voldemort. "Hermione was right in a way. He is my uncle. We have acted as husband and wife to throw off the death eaters and everyone else. We could not let them know i was related to him" She explained. 

"now i understand" Atem whispered. "this is why you were so persistent" He said. Bella only nods and bowed her head like a child caught in a cookie jar. "Why didn't you just tell us?" he asked looking at her. "we could have helped you sooner" he said. 

"I...I wanted to" Bella said sadly, her voice broke a little at the end. "I really did...i just...I couldn't let the others find out" She said looking up at him. "Pharaoh....Hermione...Granger cannot be trusted!" She exclaimed. 

"whoa...how did this get to be about Granger?" Marik asked. 

"Bushy haired girl, who is constantly trying to but into everyones business...know it all granger?" Melino says slightly surprised. 

"Granger is part of all this! she isn't a muggle born like it is believed. She is Lucius's secrete lover." Bella replied. "don't ask me how i know this." she added seeing their looks of disgust. 

"oh....that's just nasty" Melino says looking away looking like she was going to puke. 

"I don't want to know how you know that" Marik said looking like he was going to puke. 

"Is there anyone else that you know of that cannot be trusted?" Bakura asked. 

"Goyle and Crab. Draco's bodyguards...but i told you about them already" Bella replied thoughtfully. 

"Thats an obvious though" Melino says confused. 

"Lestrange" Voldemort spoke up. 

Bella looked over at him. "lestrange?" she asked confused. 

"Rabastan" Voldemort explained. "I've noticed him and Lucius have been getting closer" he explained. "Rudolphus not so much, he hates Lucius." he added.  "especially now that Bellatrix had her miscarriage." he said. 

"miscarriage" Atem and Bella said as they tensed. This was a very sore subject between the two.  

Melino flinched and looked away. Bakura unconsciously migrated towards Melino wrapping an arm around her as she leaned into him 

"that is troubling" Bella said looking down with a worried look on her face. 

"he has already started trying to get Bellatrix on her own" Voldemort said. "She quickly put him in his place" he added with a smirk. 

Bella smirked at the thought. "good, I'm tired of him getting everything he wants handed to him on a silver platter" she added. "what about...him" she asked looking towards the door. 

"Wormtail...he has outlived his usefulness" Voldemort said offhandedly. 

"who?" Melino asked. 

"traitor" Bella replied coldly. 

"good, then he is to turn himself into the ministry and clear Sirius" Bella demanded. Voldemort looked down with a sigh as he walked over and laid Marie down in her nest before turning back around and leaned against his desk as he crossed his arms in front of him. 

"that is do able" Voldemort replied. 

"you sound as if you don't really want that to happen" Marik commented watching Voldemort. 

Melino looked at Voldemort with a raised eyebrow. What's his problem with Black?

"I will admit i do not like that he will have easier access to Bella" Voldemort replied with a shrug. 

"It was a one time thing" Bella said with a scowl. 

"I don't care" Voldemort replied with a scowl. Atem gave Bella a questioning look. Bella sighed and shrugged. 

"It was a dare" Bella replied shaking her head a little bit. "Bellatrix and I got into the firewhiskey one night and decided to play truth or dare" she explained. 

Everyone's eyes widened at that. Barkura started laughing in amusement. "Oh how i wish to have been able to see that" he said. 

"I don't even want to know" Atem replied as Yugi nodded in agreement standing right next to him. 

"If what happened with Christine was anything to go on" Yugi said. 

"nothing like that...well...i wouldn't say not completely like that but at the same time there was some dancing involved" Bella said with a shrug. "I am not ashamed!" she added. "I got him for a horrid prank that he had pulled on me" she added. 

"well at least there is that" Marik said. 

"what was the prank?" Melino asked. 

"ill...tell you later" Bella replied reddening. 

"All you guys are assholes" Bella heard from Christine who apparently was suffering from a headache. 

"hey should we do something about the bird?" Marik asked. 

Atem nods. as the three of them walked over to the nest where Marie lay. "this might take a while" Atem said looking over at Voldemort. 

"Any progress is better than nothing" Voldemort replied looking anxious. Bella yawns. 

"i am going to go lay down while you guys work on her" She said looking over at them. Atem looked as if he didn't want her to leave their sight. "I'll just be over here" She said pointing to a very large chair. She walked over and climbed into the chair curling up.

It didn't take her very long to drift to sleep. 

~Bella was standing in front of a baby crib looking down at a young baby. The baby had a full head of black hair and vivid green eyes. She reached down and brushed the hair from his face as he sobbed. She could feel the heat radiating off of the child from a fever. She lightly picked him up. 

"hi Erus" she whispered as she cradled him to her. "aw. its ok" she cooed as she rocked him back an forth. "your mama should have paid attention a little better" she said as she picked up a medicine syringe. "i told her. yes i did" She said as she gave the baby some baby tylenol. 

"Rude"

Bella turned and saw a red headed woman with green eyes standing there. She smiled over at her sister. 

"You know its true Lily" Bella said in greeting as she sat the syringe down.

"how is he?" Lily asked with a worried look on her face as she walked up to them. 

"oh, He will be fine" Bella replied. "it isn't as bad as you thought it was" she added as she laid the baby back down in the bed. "he's gonna be just fine. Arnt you Erus" she cooed. 

Lily scowled. "his name is Harry" she said rolling her eyes. 

Bella stood up and looked straight at lily and gave her a look as if saying 'fight me'. "you can call him what ever the hell you want hun, but his name is Erus" she said firmly and pats Lily on the cheek. 

Lily rolled her eyes and shakes her head. "im going to go finish dinner. are you staying?" she asked. 

"if you want me to" Bella replied as she looked back down at Harry, who was playing with a toy snitch. 

"ill set another plate" Lily called back as she left the room to go down stairs. 

Bella reached into the bed and picked up the bottle from the bed and took it out. "Lily doesn't know what she is doing does she?" she asked. "that's ok...neither do i" She said laughing a bit.

hearing a scream she turned quickly and looked over at the room door. The bedroom door slammed open and there stood a man in a cloak. Bella immediately recognized who it was. "Master!" Bella gasped out in alarm. panic shot through her as she stared up at the taller man.

"step aside" The man demanded as he raised raised his wand. Bella's heart skiped several beats as horror rushed through her. 

"no...no please. What are you doing?!" Bella said quickly.  "i..I thought" she stammered.

"Get out of the way!" The man demanded again.

Bella refused to move. "Please dont! Master please. He's just a baby!" She cried. "you promised. You said you were going to convince them to leave!"

"Get out of my way!" The man snapped once again. Bella however refused to move as she used her body to shield Harry.

"You know I can't die" Bella said coldly glaring at him.
