Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 - Bellatrix Lestrange

Standing in the cold as he waved to his two friends leaving on the Hogwarts Express. Felix who was bundled up had a sad look as he headed back up to the castle. The excitement of leaving was now dashed as he received a letter yesterday. William had suddenly come down, caught a very nasty flu and was hospitalized. So he was told to stay at school where very few stayed during the break.

The amount of teachers and students combined staying were around two dozen give or take a couple. Which left the once lively castle empty and lonely as there were more ghosts than people inside. Especially in Gryffindor where there was only a seventh year boy outside of himself staying at school.

Feeling the wind blow across him, Felix was glad he lightly enchanted his robes to block the cold. Felix followed his compass back up to the castle as the morning sun shined brightly on the fresh snow fall. An idea soon formed in his head as he didn't feel like sitting inside the empty castle without anyone to really talk to.

Taking a detour towards the spot where his automatic chain was destroyed. The space around was empty and a perfect spot to practice magic without destroying or causing trouble for others. So pulling out his English Oak wand that contained a Phoenix Feather, Felix gave it a gentle wave.

Following his wave the area before him turned into a thick ice sheet that was about six inches thick. Solid ice that upon looking at didn't hold many uneven thickness or air bubbles inside. Gentle giving his wand a flick, the ice sheet vanished as the snow shown through now patted down by the ice.

'Still needs a bit of practice.' Felix thought to himself.

Over and over, Felix began to turn the area into ice and dismiss it. Each time he would check the ice and size of the ice sheet. For each time he did so, the ice expanded and issues in his opinion vanished. The sheet became more evenly thick and air bubbles didn't form inside.

"Ok, now let's begin the fun." Felic smiled to himself.

Then underneath his wand, the ice before him rapidly began to shift. Felix is like a conductor of an orchestra as his wand moved so did the ice. From towering ice spikes to various animals made of ice, he moved to a rhythm of a beat inside him.

When his wand raised, ice birds rose, when his wand came down spike would sprout. The sight gave a sense of harmony before he finished off with a swirl of his wand. Then all vanished before him as a replica of Hogwarts stood before him.

"Mr. Grindelwald, detention."

Suddenly a voice shattered the joy Felix was feeling. Turning around, he found Professor McGonagall behind him. Her stern expression is evident as her piercing eyes seem to hold a fiery tempus inside. Even at the corner of her lips were lifted a bit into a smirk that he felt was full of maliciousness.

Instead of lowering his head, Felix gripped his wand as his inner anger turned into fury. He has had enough with her targeting him. No matter what he did, she seemed to like to target him and now he reached his limit once more.

In a very chilly voice and no emotion, Felix glared at her as he said one word. "Why."

The temperature began to sharply drop as his anger continued to increase. His magic seemed to be fueled as it continued to rise which in turn fueled his fury. If no good reason comes out, he will give a reason for detention or probably being expelled.

McGonagall seems to take a couple steps back, which just fueled his anger more. That is when Felix frowns as his vision seems to shift. Professor McGonagall seems to shift as her aging wrinkles seem to vanish. Her hair turned midnight black as it grew longer and slightly messier. Her features shifted like her skin was bubbling as gray eyes appeared. To his slight confusion, a contempt like some sort of noble seemed to radiate from her as a beautiful woman in mid twenties appeared.

When Felix's vision shifted back, Felix soon understood what had happened. In an instant, his wand moved as did the McGonagall before him. The red light that shot out from the end of his wand clashed against her green when they collided head on. A small ball that continued to expand between them.

His fury burned bright again as he figured out that he was probably being assassinated again. Clearly, Voldemort was growing impatient as he sent out one of his higher rank followers. So flicking his wand to the side as he flicked the collusion away, Felix went on the attack.

'I don't know who this fool is, but they shouldn't have picked Professor McGonagall. It should be considered their bad luck since I will be a bit heavy handed.' Felix grinned happily inside.

His wand moved quickly as it twirled in the air as one spell after another was casted in quick succession. No words left his mouth, but anger could be seen in his eyes as he glared at the woman before him disguised as Professor McGonagall.

Various ice creatures and pikes quickly appeared. Due to practicing ice magic just moments before, Felix began to bombart his attacker with various ice spells. Clearly she felt overwhelmed at the amount of ice spikes and creatures surrounding her.

Felix grinned as he coldly watched her cast various spells at his ice creations and spikes. Yet as quickly as she broke the ice, under Felix control they quickly reformed as more appeared following. Thus like a small avalanche of ice, the woman wanted to escape, but soon found herself unable to move. Even her wand was knocked from her hand which Felix picked up.

"Stupefy." Felix softly said.

The captured woman was quickly knocked out. While she was knocked out, Felix didn't move to check her in case she had partners waiting to ambush. Yet, even after nearly ten minutes nothing happened. So question marks appeared above his head as surely there were more than just one high ranking Death Eater wanting to assassinate him.

"Where are her partners?" Felix looked around the silent area around him.

--

After twenty minutes, no one came out to attack him or rescue the woman. Felix frowned as he knew that she would be waking up soon. So throwing an illusion charm on her so she would appear as materials. He dragged her to the castle behind him, so even when he passed by painting and even the real Professor McGonagall, they all thought he made a trip to Hagrid again.

Upon reaching the classroom where he and his two friends do their magic projects. Felix cancelled the illusion and soon moved some desks around. Placing the unconscious woman on the table, he first peeked into the Paths and looked for a way to cancel her disguise. Quickly finding it, Felix cast the spell where the woman changed into the young woman he saw in his vision.

"You have quite the figure." Felix muttered to himself.

To make sure she didn't have a portkey or some hidden weapon or wand. Felix went to work removing her clothes. There might be a better way but this was probably the most efficient way. He didn't have much time before she woke up, so while it might be a bit embarrassing sometimes being simple is best.

Unsure as he moved quickly, he even removed her undergarments as well and quickly patted her body and head. He felt quite embarrassed for this was the first time he saw or undressed a woman like this outside of a screen. Once he was sure, he found some fabric scraps Angel left behind. After making some simple undergarments that really only covered very little, Felix tied her up.

"I feel like a villain." Felix muttered to himself.

There was little he found on her, for besides a wand, she also held a couple throwing knives. He also found a marriage ring, but he also discovered another thing while checking for weapons. Due to being overly cautious and probably his teenage phase of his body influencing him a bit. Felix who checked everything discovered she has little or no experience in a night life aspect.

"Well, I can probably guess your identity." Felix sighed softly.

Due to not being in Azkaban for over ten years, she wasn't as crazy or gaunt looking. Instead she was quite beautiful and had quite the figure with nice hips and bust size. The woman is Bellatrix Lestrange.
