The three of them were there to meet with Molly and a group of press to question each other. Narcissa didn’t really think Molly would agree but they had received a letter from a lawyer the day after Bellatrix made the offer asking about when they could do it. Narcissa thought it was funny Molly hired a lawyer for this because there was nothing legal about it. No-one was going to be legally punished or legally held accountable for their statements. That is if they hadn’t committed any crimes. Even then the crimes would have to be investigated. Hiring a lawyer seemed like a waste of gold to her. Then again Molly was known for wasting gold. Narcissa looked at the front of the house and shook her head.
“She didn’t even bother cleaning the outside. It looks worse than when I came the last time.”Andromeda would have thought they would put in the effort to make their house look presentable.
“We have to make sure we add a special section in our book about cleaning the outside of your home.”Bellatrix had decided that she and Narcissa should be coauthors for Andromeda’s book. Bellatrix didn’t have much experience with cleaning but figured she would use examples of messes she made and how they were cleaned up by others. She thought the public would enjoy hearing her stories. Especially the ones about messes that were made when she was pranking someone.
“Let’s see what the inside is like.”Narcissa was prepared to clean all surfaces before she touched anything.
“Here we go.”Bellatrix raised her hand to the door and knocked. The door was opened by a flustered looking Arthur.”Hello Lord Weasley.”
Arthur blushed.”It’s just Arthur.”
“Aright then Arthur. We are here to see Molly.”Bellatrix could hear the sounds of people taking inside the house. They had limited the number of reporters to 17 so they would only have a small crowd.
“Follow me.”Arthur said as he led them into the house.
“You have a lovely home.”Narcissa lied. The house was a dump and the inside was as bad as the outside. It looked like someone had tried to clean but gave up halfway through based on the lack of dust and grime some places and the overwhelming amount in others. Plus the dishes were overflowing in the sink and there were stains on the walls and ceiling. Walking into the living room Narcissa knew that there was no way she wasn’t going to clean whatever she was offered to sit on.
Arthur smiled at Narcissa.“Thank you.”
“Good you’re here. I didn’t think you would actually show up.”Molly didn’t think the sisters would actually want to put themselves in the position to have to confess their crimes. She was just happy they did so the public would finally know the truth about the Black sisters.
“It took a while to get here from the manor due to you living so far away from civilization.”Bellatrix smirked when Molly’s face became red.
“We are living here temporarily. Soon we will be living at the Prewett Family Manor.”Molly just needed to get enough evidence that her brothers weren’t the rightful Head of Household.
“I’m sure Gideon will be pleased to hear that.”Andromeda was going to send another letter to the Prewett brothers. They had responded to her last one thanking her for sending the information and requested she let them know if she learned anything else about Molly’s quest to take over their family.
Ted made his way to the front of the crowd.“Can we please start?”
“What are you doing here?”Bellatrix didn’t understand why the idiot was in attendance.
“I’m here to ask my own questions.”Ted was going to make Andromeda admit that she still loved him and her sisters forced her to divorce him.
“Nice try loser but this is between us and Molly. If you want your own chance then schedule an appointment. That way you can also take a truth potion and be questioned.”Bellatrix wouldn’t allow Ted to ask any questions without taking a truth potion himself then answering their questions for him.
“Why should I be questioned?”Ted couldn’t let himself be questioned. It would ruin everything if people heard his answers.
“You should be questioned because you are a known liar. That is beside the point. You have no reason to be here nor are you allowed to ask questions. If Molly wants this to continue you need to leave.”Andromeda wasn’t dealing with Ted.
Molly weighed her options. She wanted Ted there to ask questions but she knew if he didn’t leave then the sisters would and her opportunity to force them to admit to their crimes would be lost.”Ted will leave.”
“Hey you told me to be here.”Ted reminded her.
“If you want your chance schedule an appointment. I’m not losing mine.”Molly told him.
Ted huffed.”Fine but you three will be hearing from my lawyer very soon.”
“I’m sure we will.”Andromeda had no doubt about it.
“Why you don’t you three have a seat on the couch.”Molly suggested.
Narcissa held her sisters back and performed numerous cleaning spells on the couch. When she was done the thing looked brand new.”Now you can sit.”
“Lady Malfoy are those some of the spells that are going to be featured in Andromeda’s book?”A man asked as the woman holding a camera next to him took a picture of the couch.
“Myself and Bellatrix have decided to help write the book so it will be all three of ours. As for the spells they will indeed be featured in the book however I am willing after the questioning to tell you a couple of them.”Narcissa thought it would be a good way to get people interested in the book.
Molly scowled watching the interaction.”If you don’t mind I would like to get started.”
“That’s my cue.”A well dressed witch stepped into the middle of the living room holding four bottles.”I am Lenore Witcome, potioner and here on behalf of Minerva McGonagall who wishes to see this feud end. I have prepared four bottles of truth potion that no one but myself has been in contact with.
“Thank you.”Bellatrix took the bottle held out to her then took a seat on the now clean couch. Narcissa following suite sitting next to her and Andromeda sitting on the other side of Narcissa. Every time the three of them sat together they usual kept Narcissa in the middle. That way she was easier to protect. Narcissa could take care of herself but she was the baby of the family and Bellatrix and Andromeda always looked out for her.
“Thank you.”Molly said when she took the bottle from Lenore and took a seat in an armchair.
“That said they will last four hours before wearing off.”Lenore told them.
“Let’s get this over with.”Andromeda uncorked the bottle and drank the liquid. The other three doing the same.”Who’s starting?”
“I will.”Molly wasn’t going to waste her chance to expose the sisters.”My question is for Bellatrix. How many people have you tortured and killed.”
“I have never tortured or killed anyone.”Bellatrix was of course lying but there was no way she was going to incriminate herself.
“You’re lying!”Molly knew that Bellatrix had killed lots of people.
“I’m going to pretend that you didn’t just insinuate that my potion doesn’t work because if I didn’t pretend I would sue you for slander.”Lenore told her.
“But she is lying.”Molly said.
“Don’t be a sore loser.”One of the reporters shouted out.
Molly tried to figure out how to turn this back around.”My next question is for.”
“Not so fast. I believe it our turn to question you. A question for a question was what we decided on.”Bellatrix wasn’t going let Molly hog all the time.
“Fine.”Molly huffed.
“Since you asked me the first question I will ask you the first question. Why did you marry Arthur?”Bellatrix asked.
“Because I wanted to have pureblood children that could marry into respectable pureblood families.”Molly slapped her hand over mouth.
Bellatrix and Andromeda laughed.”So not the love match you claim.”
“My next question is for Narcissa.”Molly ignored their laughter and the whispering from the reporters.”Why were you shopping in a baby shop with your sisters?”
“We were buying items for friends who recently had a baby.”Narcissa had no problem telling Molly that.
“You don’t have friends.”Molly knew that was another lie.
“I may have few friends but the ones I do have are very special to me.”Narcissa consider Denis and Jean friends.
“Who are these supposed friends then?”Molly was going to catch Narcissa in a lie.
“They are a young couple I’ve known for years.”Narcissa would never give anybody Hermione’s information.”Now it’s my turn. Why is your home so filthy?”
“Because I don’t clean it. I make Arthur do it.”Molly was now rethinking agreeing to this.
“The woman who recommends cleaning spells to everyone doesn’t clean her own home. She makes her husband do it.”Bellatrix was loving this.
“This question is for Andromeda. How many affairs did you have while married to Ted?”Molly knew that this question would expose the sisters.
“I had no affairs while I was with Ted. He however had a large collection of muggle pornography that myself and Bellatrix found when packing his stuff. Ted has a thing for big breasted woman with large asses. As I don’t fit that type I think you should be asking Ted how many affairs he had because unlike me he had plenty of time to have them. He didn’t have a job or have to watch his own daughter so he had many opportunities to have affairs.”Andromeda wouldn’t have cared if he did it’s not like she had sex with him and the times she went out of her way to make him think they did were very few. Especially when she started working so much.
Molly scowled. Ted told her he caught Andromeda having an affair.”You could have easily been lying about working all those hours.”
“I am not lying about the amount I had to work. It was the only way to pay for all the bills that were getting sent to me buy owl for me to pay for Ted’s purchases. The man didn’t even have access to the family vault and still drained it every chance he got. If I didn’t work I would have earned huge debts because of him.”Andromeda was being truthful about the debts. Ted spent more than she could ever make. It was only because of the gold Bellatrix gave her that the family survived.
“Andy it’s your turn.”Bellatrix told her.
“Why are you jealous of myself and my sisters?”Andromeda smiled at the way Molly’s whole face turned red with the effort she was using trying not to answer.
Molly found her mouth opening without permission.”I’m jealous because the three of you have everything I want. The rich family, the social status, you’re popular and you don’t have children.”
“It seems she isn’t jealous of you Andy. She is jealous of me and Cissa.”Bellatrix always knew it was about living in pureblood society for Molly.
“Bellatrix where are you hiding your Dark Mark?”Molly asked before the sisters could say anything else.
“I don’t have a Dark Mark. Nor have I ever gotten one from the Dark Lord.”Bellatrix told her.
Molly scowled again.”Then why do so many people say you have one?”
“Because they wish to discredit me so the evidence I provided and my testimony won’t send them to Azkaban.”That was actually the truth. Bellatrix was likely going to be accuse of being the Dark Lord’s follower for the rest of her life due to people wanting to stay out of prison.”My turn again. Why did you steal the gold from your brothers?”
“I thought if I took it they wouldn’t be able to get it back and I would finally be able to live the lifestyle I deserve.”Molly was really rethinking agreeing to this. She couldn’t back out though no matter what because it would ruin her chance to bring down the sisters.
“I’m impressed. When I was disowned all I took with me were my personal belongings and some bottles of alcohol. I wasn’t brave enough to take gold.”Andromeda said.
“Andromeda who is the real father of Nymphadora?”Molly knew this was the question that would show how disgusting the sisters were.
“Edward Tonks is the father of Nymphadora.”Andromeda lied. The truth would never be revealed to anyone but Nymphadora when she was old enough to understand why Andromeda had to lie in the first place.
“Then why doesn’t she look like him?”Molly challenged.
“My daughter looks like a typical Black family member. Also she changes her features constantly. The only time she truly looks like herself is when she is sleeping.”Andromeda and her sisters had picked a sperm donor that look like Andromeda as well so that Nymphadora would look like her mother. That way no one would question why she didn’t look like Ted.”How many affairs have you had while married to Arthur?”
“Four.”Molly shot panicked eyes to Arthur who was looking at her in shock.
“Are the children mine?!”Arthur shouted.
“I don’t know.”Molly replied without thinking.
Bellatrix laughed as the cameras started flashing again trying to catch pictures of Molly and Arthur as they started fighting.”This is better than tv.”
“I didn’t expect that to come out.”Narcissa said watching Molly start to cry.
“I think those are fake tears.”Andromeda didn’t know anyone who would believe Molly was actually crying.
“How did you know?”Bellatrix asked Andromeda.
“I didn’t. I was just asking because she asked me.”Andromeda didn’t actually think the woman was cheating on Arthur.
“Do we have to stick around any longer?”Narcissa wanted to go home.
“You promised the press you would give them some of those spells.”Andromeda reminded her.
“Let’s do that and go home.”Narcissa stood from the couch and addressed the press.”I will be showing you the spells I promised then we are leaving.”
“Narcissa do you think that this will be the end of your feud with Molly?”A male reporter asked.
“I think that after everything you have just heard and witnessed it should be obvious that myself and my sisters have no issues with Molly. We never have. This grudge or feud or whatever you want to call it is one sided. We could care less about Molly. It’s her that keeps dragging us into it by taking every chance she gets to attack us in some way.”Narcissa would prefer if Molly kept her and her sisters’ name out of her mouth.
“Even now she will likely accuse us of tampering with the potion and blame us for causing trouble in her marriage. Even though she was the one who admitted to cheating on her husband and not knowing who the father of her children were.”Andromeda expected Molly to shout far and wide that the sisters made her say everything she said.
“If she tries to attack the potion I will sue her.”Lenore said.
“She will start attacking you next then.”Bellatrix knew that Molly would target Lenore if she sued her.
“I can handle Molly. The real question is can she handle me?”Lenore asked.
“Just make sure to stock up on headache potion when dealing with her.”Bellatrix joked.
“It’s one of my best sellers so I always have large numbers of it on hand.”Lenore told her.
Bellatrix pulled Lenore to the side away from the press and left her sisters to deal with them.“Do you have your masters in potions.”
“I do.”Lenore confirmed.
“In the future would you be open to taking on a student?”Bellatrix thought Lenore would be perfect for Narcissa to study under.
Lenore raised an eyebrow.”Why are you asking?”
“My sister Narcissa has always wanted to get her masters in potions but couldn’t while married to her husband. Now that he is in Azkaban she has the freedom to pursue it. She just doesn’t know anyone who she would be able to study under. I’m not just saying this because she is my sister but she is brilliant in the subject. Just recently she created a potion that will regrow parts of the body. It’s been tested and it works.”Bellatrix bragged.
“Is that the one Gideon Prewett used?”Lenore asked.
“Yes he used it to regrow his hand. At the time Andromeda had gotten the recipe for the potion from Narcissa and brewed a batch herself to use for anyone who would need it in the Order.”Bellatrix explained.
Lenore took a second to think.”Has she created other potions?”
“Yes, many but like I said she couldn’t do anything while she was married to her husband. Not only because he would have forbid her from doing it but she didn’t want the Dark Lord to know about her skills for fear he would want her to work for him.”Bellatrix was afraid of that as well.
Lenore nodded.”When your sister is ready have her send me an owl. I am interested in teaching her but will need to at least talk to her before I agree.”
“Perfect. I’ll let her know.”Bellatrix was excited for Narcissa.
“You do that and have a good rest of your day. I’m going to head out. I’m no longer needed here.”Lenore said.
“Thank you for your help.”Bellatrix watched Lenore leave before turning her attention to her sisters who had joined her.”Where did the press go?”
“They went outside to watch Molly and Arthur fight on the back lawn.”Andromeda told her.
“Can we go home now?”Narcissa wanted to be done with this whole debacle.
Bellatrix made her way to the door. She held it open for her sisters.“Yes let’s go. Denis mentioned to me that he was hoping for a chance to take Jean to a concert tonight as a surprise if we got done early enough.”
“You should have told us that. We would have left sooner.”Andromeda wouldn’t have even bothered coming at all if she had known.
“We still have a couple hours until he needed to tell her.”Bellatrix wasn’t going to miss out on babysitting Hermione. Walking towards the wards she looked back at the house.”Do you think they even notice the press are still there?”
“Molly is probably purposely keeping them there to sell whatever story she made up for why she cheated.”Narcissa said.
“It’s to bad she still has two hours left before the truth potion wares off.”Bellatrix wondered if Molly realized that.
“The morning papers are going to be interesting.”Andromeda bet that they were going to be all about Molly.
“Molly will finally have gotten the attention she always wanted.”Narcissa didn’t think Molly would appreciate the type of attention she was going to get.
“I’m going to go out in the morning and buy a couple. It will be fun to see how the press spins this.”Bellatrix was preparing herself for laughing a lot while reading the many articles.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a whole section dedicated to what happened at this meeting. One of the papers might even put together a special edition after they spent some time researching her various claims and consequences of her many answers.”Narcissa thought there was enough drama to fill a special edition.
“I’m excited to find out who the father of her children are.”Andromeda hoped at least one of them weren’t Arthur’s.
“We should have asked that question while we could.”Bellatrix was kicking herself for not doing it.
“Arthur might ask it in front of the press.”Narcissa would have asked who Molly was having an affair with if she was Arthur.
“I really can’t wait for tomorrow.”Andromeda felt like Christmas came early for her and her sisters.”Do you think Lenore will really sue Molly if she bad mouths her potion?”
“Lenore made it very clear to me she would make Molly regret the day she was born if she spoke badly about the potion.”Bellatrix had no doubt that Molly would be made to pay through the roof for bad mouthing the potion.
“Good. She gets away with saying too much. It’s about time someone holds her accountable.”Narcissa said.
“Oh Cissa before I forget I talked to Lenore about taking you on as a masters student. She told me she was interested and when you are ready to send her an owl to set up a time to talk. I told her about your potion that regrows limbs and see seemed eager to talk to you about it.”Bellatrix had seen the way Lenore’s whole face had lit up when she told her Narcissa was responsible for the potion.
“Thank you Bella.”Narcissa hadn’t even known where to start with finding a teacher. Lenore seemed like the perfect option because anyone willing to take on Molly was someone worth knowing in Narcissa’s book.
“I don’t think she expects to hear from you for a while since the trials are still going on but she was still very interested. She knew about Gideon’s hand regrowing.”Bellatrix told her.
“I get people asking about that and the arm of the man that regrew it due to the potion all the time. I hate having to deny them access to it but I can’t legally give them a potion that hasn’t been patented.”Andromeda knew a lot of people would benefit from the potion.
“We will get through these trials then think about the potion. I want take some time to relax after the trials are over though.”Narcissa deserved a break after everything she had gone through.
“It will be nice to just stay in our pajamas, ignore the rest of the world and spent an uninterrupted day with our friend.”Bellatrix would love to spend a lazy day with Hermione.
“Jean and Denis go back to work next week. We need to figure out a schedule.”Andromeda was predicting she was going to be Hermione’s main babysitter while the trials were going on. Not that she minded.
“Let’s think about it later. Now I want to go home and cuddle with our friend.”Narcissa just wanted to be with Hermione. Walking out of the wards she held out her hand for Bellatrix. Her sister was the only one of the three of them who could magically travel twice in a short period of time without hurting herself. Bellatrix was also the only one who could do it while bringing other people along. Giving one last look around the area Narcissa wondered what was going to happen to the Weasley family. Arthur may be an idiot but he was a nice enough person. He didn’t abuse Molly in any way and from what Narcissa had seen he truly loved his children. It would interesting to see how this situation unfolded. Narcissa was pleased that she got to witness it. She was also pleased that the press got to witness it as well. Feeling her sister’s hand in her own Narcissa took a deep breath with her last thought before leaving being that she hoped she and her sisters would be written about in a positive light.
