Chapter 47 - The Breakout
Once inside, Bellatrix grabbed Harry's hair and pulled him up to face Draco, "Well? Is it him?"
Parker and Draco had talked over the summer, before all this happened. They wanted to be good, let's just hope Draco kept up with his side of the deal.
"I can't be sure." Draco told her, all the eyes watching him.
Lucius walked up to Draco, holding the back of his neck, "Look closely, son. If we, were the ones to hand Potter over to the Dark Lord. All will be forgiven, everything will be as it was."
"Yeah, we won't be forgetting who actually caught him, I hope Mr Malfoy." Scabior stated, hands on his hips.
"You dare talk to me like that in my own house?!" Lucius raised his voice.
Narcissa pulled him away to calm him as Bellatrix held Harry still as Draco drew closer.
"Don't be shy sweetie, come over. Now, if this isn't who we think he is and we call him, He'll kill is all. We have to be absolutely sure." Bellatrix reminded him.
Draco looked at Harry, "What's wrong with his face?"
"Yes, what is wrong with his face?" Bellatrix asked the snatchers.
"He came to us like that, something he picked up in the forest, I reckon." Scabior answered.
"Or maybe he ran into a stinging jynx." Bellatrix suggested before turning to Parker,"Was it you, dear?"
Parker didn't even look at Bellatrix, she just kept her hands behind her back.
"Give me her wand, let's see what her last spell was." Bellatrix ordered as Draco and Harry looked at each other knowingly.
That's when Parker looked up at her mother, Bellatrix knew by the look on her face that Parker did something.
"Haha, caught you." Bellatrix then froze as she saw a snatcher with the Sword of Gryffindor,"Where'd you get that?"
"It was in her bag when we searched her, reckon it's mine now." The snatcher shrugged.
Bellatrix shot him back with a spell, catching the sword in her other hand before sending more people flying and wrapping a snake around Fenrir's neck.
"Get out! Get out!" Bellatrix yelled.
Fenrir and Scabior quickly followed their instructions and left.
"Cissy, put the boys in the cellar! I want to chat with these two, girl to girl!" Bellatrix yelled again.
Narcissa took Harry and Ron and pushed them towards the cellar, giving them to Peter Pettigrew.
"Now, let's talk shall we?" Bellatrix asked them.
Parker quickly stood infront of Hermione, not wanting her to get hurt, "Mother, leave them alone. They have nothing to do with any of this."
"Really? So all of this is just your plan?" Bellatrix asked before looking around,"Didn't you have a ginger 'friend'?"
"No." Parker quickly shook her head.
"Strange, I liked the little Weasel." Bellatrix shrugged,"It would've been fun to have her as leverage."
"None of my friends will be used for leverage, just let them go!" Parker looked up at Bellatrix.
"Aw, are you upset?" Bellatrix teased, poking Parker with her wand.
Parker quickly grabbed Bellatrix's wand, pointing it at her, "Cru-"
She began to cast one of the Unforgivable Curses.
"You're learning, I'm so proud." Bellatrix cheered as a rock flew in the window.
Everyone in the room all turned to look at the rock, but Parker took this as a distraction to disapparate away to somewhere. Meanwhile Erica ran back to her original position and waited. After a minute or two a servant walked past by herself and Erica took her chance. She grabbed the servant girl and held her around the neck with her left arm and used her right to aim her wand at her.
"Please don't hurt me! I haven't did anything wrong!" The girl closed her eyes.
"Chill, I just need to borrow your outfit so I can break out my friends." Erica told her,"I couldn't risk you running."
"Will- Will I get it back?" The girl asked.
"That depends. If you don't, you can keep my clothes." Erica shrugged, starting to let her go.
"Do you know how many people are in their right now? You could get caught." The girl turned to face Erica.
"Rather me die than my friends." Erica sighed, looking at the Manor.
The girl hesitated before pointing to an entrance the servants used, "You can get in through there."
"Thanks, now, time for an outfit swap." Erica announced.
Once the two girls had swapped outfits, Erica then headed inside. She looked around as she pulled her hair into a bun and that's when she was handed a tray with a silver dagger on it by a man.
"Take that up to Miss Bellatrix." The man told her, walking off. Oh, and make it fast. You know she doesn't like waiting." The man added, quickly going back over to the kitchen.
"This is my chance." Erica thought to herself, climbing up the stairs quickly.
Although Erica had no idea where she was going, the Manor was that huge. But eventually she found where everyone was. She passed by Lucius, sneakily nabbing his keys as she knelt down, the dagger ready for Bellatrix. Bellatrix took the dagger and brought Hermione closer to her.
"Run along." She told Erica.
Erica did as she was told, giving Hermione a sympathetic look as she walked out. Now all Erica had to do was find the boys and Parker, get Hermione and get out of there. Simple... Right? She walked around looking for where the others were so she could break them out, pushing open basically every door she saw until she pushed open the door to Parker's room. Was Parker even in here? Her room was as expected, just as dull as the rest of the castle. But one thing really stuck out to Erica, she could see that on one of Parker's cabinets had pictures of her and Draco, all the way from when they were young to now.
"Now, that's adorable." Erica stated, looking at the cupboard before looking around.
After looking around for a bit, Erica found some spiral stairs in the corner of the room, leading up to another room. Being herself, Erica decided to climb up this mystery staircase. When Erica walked up the staircase, she seen Parker with her back turned, facing a window.
"Pardon me, are you alright?" Erica asked, pretending still be a staircase
"Erica?" Parker turned, hearing her friends voice, "You got my note, thank god."
"Yeah, where are the boys?" Erica asked her.
"The cellar. They put them there. I've tried apparating in, but I can't." Parker shook her head.
"Well, I've just been down there. It would look suspicious." Erica crossed her arms.
Parker sighed, "We need to work something out."
That's when Erica heard.. A baby crying?
"Baby?" Erica tilted her head as she turned her head towards the crying.
"Shit." Parker muttered, quickly walking over to the crib near the corner of the room.
She then picked up the baby, holding them to her chest as she tried to calm them down.
Erica walked over to her,"I'm good with babies if that helps. Wait, who's kid is this?'
Parker shook her head, "I.. I can't say. But I've been landed with her."
"Does she have a name?" Erica asked her.
"Yeah." Parker nodded, "She is."
That's when they heard footsteps climbing the steps.
"I think we're in trouble." Erica muttered, freezing up.
Parker looked towards the steps, putting Delphi back in her crib.
"Try and hide." She whispered to Erica before she walked over to the stairs.
Erica nodded as she pulled a musty blanket onto herself and hid under the crib.
Parker walked over to the staircase and crossed her arms, "Hello?"
It was some random Death Eater.
"I believe there's a spy in the castle," He informed her.
"A spy, huh?" Parker raised a brow, "Where are you getting that idea from?"
"I saw her." The Death Eater stated.
"Care to elaborate on who 'her' is?" Parker asked.
"She's ginger and she's wearing Elizabeth's clothes. I recognized the dress." The Death Eater crossed his arms.
"Well, the only ginger I know, is down in the cellar. So it's obviously not him." Parker tilted her head.
"This is my room, you can't order me to move." Parker didn't move from her spot.
The Death Eater pulled out his wand,"Move aside or I will hurt her."
"What makes you think she's here?" Parker asked.
"I'd been watching her for a while just walking around like an idiot and she walked in here and hasn't come out." The Death Eater explained.
"The only people in my room is myself and Delphi." Parker stated.
"I don't buy it." The Death Eater told her, looking around.
"You're going to upset Delphi." Parker walked over to the crib, standing in front of it.
On one hand, she did this to keep Delphi calm, and on the other, to hide Erica.
That's when Erica revealed herself,"I'm caught, take me."
Parker looked at Erica, sighing, "Oh look, you found her."
Erica was then grabbed, pulled up and escorted out. Parker quickly followed after Erica and the Death Eater, not knowing that Erica had keys. Then they were flung into the cellar with the boys.
"What are you wearing Erica?" Ron asked her.
"It's a servant's clothes." Parker answered, "She snuck in."
"That's not all I did." Erica winked, pulling the keys put of her pocket.
"Erica, you're a life saver." Harry smiled.
"Dobby's already gotten Olivander and Luna out of here. It's just us right now." Ron stated.
"Lucius really sucks at being a Death Eater." Erica chuckled, unlocking the door.
"He really sucks at being a parent." Parker muttered while they all walked to the door, but they soon heard footsteps coming down.
They all stood at the side so the person couldn't see. As they walked by, Erica hit the back of their neck which caused them to fall down into the cell.
"Yes Erica." Ron high fived her before they walked up the stairs, careful not to get noticed.
Erica locked the door before running up after them. Once upstairs, Parker went first, taking Peter Pettigrews wand since Bellatrix had hers. They seen Hermione on the floor, bleeding from her arm.
"Liar!" They heard Bellatrix shout and cut the goblin, Griphook's cheek with the dagger Erica gave Bellatrix.
"Right, I am so done with this woman!" Erica shouted, taking out her wand.
They all ran up and began fighting with the others in the room.
"Stupefy!" Parker flung Lucius back before the others began dueling Narcissa and Draco.
To which Parker didn't know who to side with. Her family? Or her blood family?
"Stop!" Both Parker and Bellatrix shouted at the same time.
They looked up and Bellatrix had the dagger at Hermione's neck.
"Drop your wands." Bellatrix told them before yelling,"I said drop them!"
"Go on Draco, now." Narcissa nudged Draco who quickly took everyone's wands from the floor once they'd been dropped.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. It's Harry Potter. He's all bright, shiny and new again, just in time for the Dark Lord." Bellatrix whispered to Hermione before looking at the Malfoys,"Call him."
Lucius looked at the others, pulling up his sleeve to reveal his Dark Mark. He then raised his hand over it and went to call Voldemort.
"Come on and do it. If I'm going to die, let me die quick. I don't want to sit here and wait for my death, what do you take me for?" Erica started joking, mainly as a distraction.
That's when everyone heard a squeaking from above them. Everyone looked up to see Dobby unscrewing the chandelier above Bellatrix. Then it started falling to the ground. Bellatrix pushed Hermione away from her, screaming. Hermione landed in Ron's arms while the chandelier smashed. Parker quickly ran up to Draco.
"The wands, Dray, please." She held out her hands.
Draco nodded, handing them to her quickly and backing away as Lucius approached the others.
"Really?" Erica rolled her eyes,"Stupefy!"
Parker took the wands, running over to the Herd.
"You stupid elf! You could've killed me!" Bellatrix shouted at Dobby.
"Dobby never meant to kill. Dobby only meant to mame or seriously injure." Dobby defended himself.
"I can get behind that." Erica nodded.
Narcissa went to fire a spell at Dobby but he snapped his fingers and her wand went to him.
"How dare you take a witch's wand! How dare you defy your masters!" Bellatrix yelled at Dobby.
"Dobby had no master. Dobby is a free elf and Dobby has come to save Parker Lestrange and her friends!" Dobby quickly held on to everyone's hands.
As they teleported, Bellatrix chucked her dagger at them and it disappeared with them.
