Snaring the wolf

Damian Didulus is pissed off.

Just before few days, ministry informed him of a change in caretakers of one Marriet Dolcow. A change by it self wouldn't have bothered him.

It's who it's changed to that bothered him.

It's changed to Bellatrix Black.

When he initially he saw the girl, he written her off for a bimbo. It would have been okay if he stopped there.

He went ahead and tried to strong-arm her.

He realized his mistake exactly two sentences in to the strong arming.

"Are you telling me that because you are more powerful wizard than me, you are going to be in charge of Marriet's affairs, Mr. Didulus? " the girl asked with a Cheshire cat grin.

"Ofcourse not, Miss Black." Damian tried to smooth over immediately.

His survival instincts told him that this girl shan't be crossed.

Then stupidly, he tried to trick her.

She knew law far far better than him.

He told her she couldn't enter Marriet's vault with out Marriet's presence or with out an ministry employee.

She pointed out that rule only applied to withdrawals. She can enter any time to review contents of a vault.

He did not realize the full extent of her reach till he went back to child care office, Bellatrix got all of his bosses to acquiesce with a simple raise of eyebrow.

He snarled at her, and let it be for now.

Then he went home and inquired about her.

What he heard definitely did not bode well for him. After all, she is fairly famous in pure blood circles. She has sent about ten wizards to hospital wing in a match box, so to speak.

He definitely did the right thing stopping to strong-arm her.

He knew rich girls like her. They take up a cause on a whim, leave it up when they are bored.

All he need to do is stay low for awhile, till this black girl looses interest in his niece.

After all, he got an invincible insurance on her.

He had no idea how wrong he was about this particular rich girl.

Bella received the letter from Marriet just as she concluded business at childcare office.

She did not know this Snape fella, but he couldn't be all bad if he has been able to teach Marriet some thing, right?

So, she told Marriet to go ahead and ask Snape to let her spend holidays with him.

In fact, she expressly advised Marriet to press on even in case of refusal.

She told her she will meet her before they get on train to give her further advise.

Bellatrix needed to make some plans.
