Bellatrix had left the comfort of the school grounds with the obnoxious creature bundled in the blankets in her arms. She fell from the sky, this time a little more graceful than the last, just outside the mansion where she was to meet the Dark Lord. The infant had screamed itself hoarse and was now silently crying, gasping for breath as if it were choking. Bellatrix didn't know what to do with it, she hated children and was never around them. She held the child awkwardly in her arms as she approached the front door and stepped inside. Her eyes took a minute to adjust to the dim lighting as she scanned the room for the handsome figure of the great wizard.

Voldemort's wards alerted him to one of his deatheaters entering the manor. He stood from his tomes that he had been reading and walked out of his room to his great room, down his stairs. He smiled as he heard the whimpering of a small child. "Ah Bella...You wonderfully devious woman you. He said as he entered the room

She bowed as the Dark Lord entered the room. As she did so the child was able to reach some of her dark curls, and began to pull at her hair. "You stupid brat," she said, untangling his fingers from her beautiful hair. She held the child in one arm, and pushed her hair behind her shoulder with her free hand. She sighed and looked at the man before her. "I agree with Rodolphus. There's no logic in having one of these willingly."

Voldemort smiled genially and said "Ah but there is a reason, He will serve his purpose, much like any other creature for the slaughter. He will grow and I know it would rip the hearts out of the wretched traitors to know their son sees me as father, as lord. " he said taking the child from Bella, placing it in a bassinet that was dark green. "Now, for the easy part, blocking any spells that could track him here... Ah this!" he pulled a small chain off the baby, snapping it as he did so. "Throw this away Bella dear." He turned and began muttering a spell in a sibilant tongue and made a seal in the air above his head. This would lock the ward into place, keeping away any spells that would track the child, above his already layered wards, his head quarters now was up plottable, and safe.

Bellatrix was relieved when the infant was taken from her, although as the tall man took the child, it cried and reached for Bella's hair once more. Luckily, her hair was behind her shoulders. Voldemort dropped the little chain into her hand, and Bella nodded, tossing it into a dustbin in the adjoining room. By the time she returned Voldemort was casting a spell above the screaming infant.

Voldemort sighed and summoned a bottle with milk for the child. He then charmed the blanket to cradle it as if it were in someone's arms and popped the warm bottle into the child's mouth. it was promptly spat out. "It seems this child doesn't like bottles..." Voldemort frowned. This was an unforseen problem. "I believe I might have use of a wet nurse." he said his eyes narrowing, a new problem.

Bellatrix nodded, wishing to make herself as useful as possible in her Lord's eyes. "I'll fetch a proper one, my Lord." She bowed and turned to leave, glad to no longer be in the same room as the screaming brat. Once outside she apparated to Diagon Alley.

Voldemort smiled. He cast a silencing spell over the child and said , sitting sitting in a near by chair. "What a smart girl, ruthless too." he was pleased with such a terrible young woman.

Bellatrix reappeared a few hours later with the woman from Diagon Alley. The new mother's eyes were blank and she only moved when Bella ordered her to bow in front of the great dark wizard. Bella bowed her head as she stood behind the kneeling mother. "I hope this pleases you, my Lord." Bellatrix knew very little about raising a child, or even sitting on for that matter, and she was quite thankful for her master's suggestion. She had been hoping it wouldn't be her duty to watch the brat.

Voldemort smiled and took the hand of the woman, Transferring Bella spell out for his imperious spell. "Very good My dear! Five brats, she'll know very well how to handle this baby." He removed the silencing spell on the baby, who's hoarse crys were finally heard. The woman sprang into action, cooing and caring for the child all at once. "Oh my dear Bella, Devious and resourceful." he summoned another trinket for the child, she liked such things, showed that he doted on her.

She smiled broadly as he praised her and gave her yet another lovely piece of jewelry. She still wore the silver necklace he had given her as a port key. It was so lovely that she wouldn't be taking it off for quite some time. And now this bracelet! "Thank you my Lord," she said, bowing in front of him. "I'm not worthy of your gifts." But she wanted it, worthy or no.

The child rejected the mother's milk at first, but he saw that hunger made a good incentive for the small child to eat. "Yes you Deserve it for now Bella. Just always remain so faithful." he smiled darkly. "Go and join Your Fiancee, you can't been seen long out of public eye. Go and dance with him, be seen."Voldemort didn't want any loops for anyone to suspect that she had been the one to steal a child for him.

Bellatrix stood straight, an obedient smile on her face. "Yes, my lord." Her eyes shot quickly to the child in the arms of the wetnurse before turning and heading for the door. She prayed no one would discover it was her who had taken the child. She had been as careful as possible. Bellatrix left the mansion with a light heart and a heavy wrist. The bracelet she had been given was beautiful and she couldn't wait to show Rodolphus - if she could ever find him.

Voldemort made the woman walk out of the room vanishing the bassinet that he had tansfigured. He climbed the main foyer stairs to the first landing. He opened a door to a bedroom, comfortably furnished and another bassinet. The woman laid the child out on the bed, changing the child's nappy expertly, vanishing the old one and replacing it with a conjured new one. The thought occurred to Voldemort that children were difficult. so many layers and small squishy disgusting limbs to put into place. He left the woman to continue her task, He'd feed her only to keep her long enough for the child not to need such intense care.
