House guests 3.

The other people I would be chatting with were in my little medical area. My house had just about everything I would ever need from dueling rooms a massive library, personal workshops, ritual rooms, medical bay, all sorts of different rooms with magic I could literally add on anything i wanted.

Amelia was still talking with Sirius about what had happened back then so I went to go and see bellatrix. She wasn't doing very good. Being mind controlled for the greater part of your life and committing atrocities will have that kind of effect on you.

I started waving my wand over her to get accurate reading of her body condition. Starvation, malnutrition, muscle decay, vitamin deficits, mental issues from dementor exposure, she had lost the ability to have children, there were innumerable problems with her body. Some of it was slowly being healed by her magical core and being freed from so much magical bindings.

She was kind of just laying there staring blankly at the ceiling. From the mental connection I could pick up sorrow, despair, grief, anger, regret, loads of mostly bad emotions that will take a long time to heal and some may never go away. But I'll do my best to help her as she is technically my Bella the one who I grew up with and her are basically the same she just got dealt a worse hand.

I gently float her up before setting her in my lap she's super lightweight mostly skin and bones. The nutrient potions will help with that but she still needs proper food. The house elves had made some potato, bacon and cheese soup which they could eat without getting sick and it would help them out on a bit of weight.

I slowly start feeding the dazed older woman. "You know life has dealt you a pretty horrible hand. But there's a plus side to all that tragic loss. Your now free. If I was in your position instead of thinking about all the wrong I did to others what I would do is try to make it up to them. I'm sure they know it's not your fault. I don't blame you that's for sure. It's the people's fault who did this to you." I start talking while feeding her and her eyes focus a bit on me.

"Not my fault?" She mutters.

"Of course not. It's the fault of the ones who put you under the contract and the one who held you under spells and forced you to do things. That can't be blamed on you at all. What you can do is live your life to the fullest and if that isn't enough." I say with a grim smile. "Become vengeance! Tear apart the people who struck you down in the first place. Make them fear your very being."

Her eyes focus a bit more. "Vengeance?"

"Yes the beautiful Bellatrix Black I know wouldn't take this and just mope about. No she would scream and fight back wand blazing in fury ripping through her foes." I say with a smile pouring a bit more soup into her mouth. "You have all the tools to get revenge right at your fingertips. The information on all your targets. A new wealthy caring husband to nurse you back to full power and guard your back while you flat your enemies alive. Powerful new allies including one who just so happens to be a younger version of yourself. Who could you trust more than yourself?"

"You'll help me?" She chokes out.

"Yep if you wanted to burn down all of Azkaban with fiendfyre I'd apparate you right to the doorstep and hand you my wand." I say with a smile.

She just lays her head against my chest. "I believe you."

"Well I mean it after all I did technically waltz right on in and grab both you and Sirius. I also doubt the guards will report anything since their memories have been altered." I tell her. "However no casting fiendish hellfire until your properly healed up."

I spoon more food into her mouth. Her thoughts have cleared up a bit there's still regret but it's masked by gratitude and the desire to go on a murderous rampage.

"However if you don't want to do any of that you can sit here and just relax maybe learn to knit or something." I say with a smirk.

"Pfft a lady of the black family learning to knit? Ridiculous." She snorts.

"I have actually learned how to knit. Except it's knitting flesh together." A voice almost identical to hers but a bit more musical comes from the door.

Her gray eyes lock onto matching gray eyes of her younger counterpart.

"Welcome back love." I tell Bella who puts some papers on the hospital bed and sits down looking at us.

"You know it's a really odd sight seeing you feeding a older version of me who now shares the same husband." She says looking at us.

"Well I did promise to always take care of you so this counts." I joke.

"Indeed it does however I'm a tad jealous I want to be hand fed too." She says making a cutesy pout.

The elder Bella just smirks. "Sorry dear but he's mine for now." Before lightly kissing my neck in a teasing manner.

"As much as I would love to see a naked cat fight between you two you have to get better first." I say lightly pinching her butt making her jump a bit.

"Oh someone is greedy." Young Bella says smirking and walking up to me grabbing my collar and planting a very deep kiss on me making sure to give my tongue a nice massage with hers before winking at the other Bella who is now pouting and walking away shaking her hips exaggeratedly.

"Make sure your not late for dinner." She says walking out of the room.

I just chuckle before continuing to feed Bella. "This could turn out to be really fun." She says in a more happy tone.

"Just don't destroy the house." I tell her.
