Dark Roses

Chapter Five

At the moment the only thing Hermione could register were the screams from beside her from the other witches and the emerald light that wouldn't go away, Voldemort had put a huge amount of fury into that killing curse and it caused more green light then usual to appear as the aftermath of Avada Kedavra. Finally, the light faded and the Dark Lord smiled cruelly at them all, 'If you don't fight you don't win and Miss Chung here didn't put up a fight.' Casting one smirk at the lot of them, He-Who-Mustn't-Be-Named left the room, his ebony cloak trailing behind him. Clutching to each other the Dark Roses recruits were still all in shock of the death of their beloved older classmate, all except the three Slytherins however.

'Miss Chung? MISS CHUNG?! IT'S CHANG YOU HEARTLESS LUNATIC! CHO CHANG!' Ginny screamed raising her wand and casting the Bat Bogey Hex that nobody wanted to be on the receiving end of Ginny was on the other side. It didn't reach Lord Voldemort but it still sparked a war with Bellatrix.

'HOW DARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU TRY AND HURT THE DARK LORD? YOU FILTHY BLOOD-TRAITOR! CRUCIO!' Bellatrix screeched. Not only were Luna's, the Patil twins, and Hermione's sobs filling the room but also Ginny's screams. 'You deserve this you scum,' her tone filled with malice. Pulling out the knife that she kept in her robes Bellatrix grabbed Ginny's forearm and carved the word blood-traitor onto the ginger's flesh, the cruciatus curse she cast still in effect.

'Draco go into the Potions cellar and grab the Drink of Despair,' Bellatrix ordered. The pale wizard obeyed his Aunt leaving. 'Sit up! Cissy deal with this one I'll start with the mudblood.'

Narcissa kneeled down holding the potion full of dark magic, pushing Ginny's back upwards. 'Drink,' she ordered forcing the spoon into Ginny's mouth. Narcissa gave Ginny ten spoonfuls of the Drink of Despair.

'What is that? That drink you're giving her?' Padma asked Narcissa slightly worried.

'It is the Drink of Despair young Ravenclaw, it causes the drinker to see horrifying things, become dehydrated, and experience excruciating burning pain inwardly,' Narcissa responded laying Ginny back down.

'Do we all have to drink that?' Lavendar whispered.

'It's a part of the Dark Rose training, you will be forced to after torture. It is the Dark Lord's wishes,' she spat.

'So mudblood, have a good summer? Crucio!' Bellatrix cried slapping Hermione to the ground. Hermione was able to control her screams but she couldn't control the pain and fear that appeared on her face as well as the tears. 'Are you crying? You are weak mudblood, weak!' Kicking her in the head, Bellatrix cackled casting another curse at her. 'Sectumsemptra.' Hermione's delicate skin was suddenly torn apart by the dark spell, her blood spilling onto the wood beneath her. Dropping to her knees, Bellatrix leaned over Hermione like she did with Ginny, carving the word 'mudblood' into her skin. After the second impact of the cruciatus curse Hermione wasn't able to control her screams, the ballroom was filled with them. 'You are filth, you don't deserve to live. You have dirty blood, a muggle,' Bellatrix spoke abusing the witch, her tone filled with cruelty. 'Cissy she's ready, giver her twenty spoonfuls however for this one, she needs more than the average recruit. Nodding, Narcissa got up from beside an unconscious Ginny and rushed over to Hermione as Bellatrix started torturing Padma. Narcissa had done what her older sister had asked, giving Hermione twenty spoonfuls of the Drink of Despair. The golden girl drank every drop and after every swallow she felt as worse as the last one. Ginny was still conscious after her tenth spoonful but she slowly became unconscious, after her twentieth spoonful Hermione did the same. The last thing she heard was Parvarti's screams and the last thing she was Narcissa's shameful face and then it all went black.
