[HP] Alchemy and Love

After appearing in Godric's Hollow, Lorenthia immediately shivered from the cold.

She arrived in a hurry, she only wore a coat over her nightgown, she didn't bring anything except the wand in her hand, and she even had bare feet and loose hair - even fleeing would not be worse than this.The cold air in the middle of the night went straight to her bones, she was shivering from the cold, her first reaction was to go back and get dressed before coming back.However, as soon as she looked up and saw the scene in front of her, the thought completely disappeared from her mind - in front of her, the place where the Potter's house used to be was a pile of ruins.

Her body was shivering in the cold wind, but Lorencia almost forgot about the coldness of the night wind.Her eyes are wide open and her mouth is even slightly opened - so it's real?Voldemort killed James and Lily?Sirius had really betrayed them...how could that be?That's Sirius, how could he do that?

She rushed forward, there were still broken bricks and glass on the ground, Lorenzia's bare feet were scratched within two steps, she gasped, and stopped, at the same time, A figure emerged from the ruins—a person carried something out of the ruins, stepped over the collapsed furniture and bricks, and put the things on his back outside the house.He was only paying attention to his feet and didn't see Lorencia, but Lorencia could clearly see his movements through the moonlight - he was carrying a person on his back with long hair hanging down, clearly it was Lily.There was another figure lying where he put Lily down. Although she couldn't see clearly, Lorenthia immediately realized that it was James.She stared at the figure in amazement and fear until he straightened up—the moonlight illuminated the face she knew so well.

"Sirius!" she cried, pointing her wand at him immediately. "What are you doing? Get away from James and Lily!"

Her heart was beating wildly, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood surging in her ears.What was Sirius here for, had he found out that James and Lily were still alive?Was he planning to continue what his master Voldemort had left unfinished?She pointed at his wand, trembling slightly.Of course she had the upper hand now, but Sirius was very familiar with her, fully aware of her fighting abilities, and fully aware that she had no way of using offensive spells at all, and being pointed at by her wand was nothing to him.

But what else could she do?

To her surprise, Sirius didn't attack her directly, but turned around and took a few steps towards her.Lorenthia backed up following his footsteps: "Don't go forward, stop!" She shouted tremblingly.

Sirius actually stopped. "Listen, I didn't kill James and Lily!" he said impatiently, with a tinge of anger in his voice, "it was Peter—it was Peter all along, and he was the traitor! Damn, I should have known him Something is wrong - put down your wand, Loren, I am not your enemy!"

The ruins of Potter's house were still in front of her eyes, and Lorenthia couldn't believe a word of him. "Put down your wand! Get away from them!" she screamed, "or I'll send someone over!"

In fact, there was no way she could have called someone at all - she had come in a hurry, and she had brought nothing but her wand, including the communication card.And using the wand to notify the others would undoubtedly expose her completely to possible attacks from Sirius, something she secretly hoped Sirius would not be aware of.Fortunately, Sirius didn't know what the intention was, and it seemed that he had no intention of attacking her for the time being. "Listen, Loren," he said angrily, "I don't have time to explain it to you, you have to trust me! We've changed the Secret Keeper, and I have to find Peter right away—"

His eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled out his wand suddenly: "Get out of the way, Loren!"

Lorenthia bent down subconsciously, and a spell flew past her hair.When she turned around, she saw a black-haired woman standing behind her, with a wand pointed at her—Lorenzia had never seen her face to face, but she recognized her appearance, she was Bellatrix Lestrange.

It was her last thought before she passed out.

She was awakened by a scream.

It was a blood-curdling scream, a sound that Lorenthia hadn't believed human beings could make before, a scream that felt like it came straight from the stake in hell.Even though she was still in a semi-conscious state, she couldn't help curling up in fear, closing her eyes tightly to avoid the terrifying sound.After a while the voice stopped, replaced by a woman's voice: "Since you don't know, then I should try to see if other people have better luck."

"I told you she didn't know!" cried a hoarse voice.Even though the voice had been torn out of shape, and a sentence was broken several times, Lorenthia could still recognize that it was Sirius' voice.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and before she could locate Sirius, she heard a female voice above her head chanting: "Crucio!"

She curled up suddenly and screamed.

It was like being thrown into a huge meat grinder, and the whole world around her, together with her own limbs, fell apart in pain.What seemed to be flowing in every blood vessel was hot molten iron, and there seemed to be thousands of small knives scraping vigorously on every bone.Every nerve from the top of the head to the soles of the feet was writhing and burning.She heard screams of pain and a woman's maniacal laughter, but maybe that was just her hallucination.Her headache was too great to think about.Why can't even the feeling of pain be forgotten?

It felt like an eternity had passed, and maybe soon—the pain came and stopped.Lorenthia lay on the ground, panting heavily.Her regained body felt the cold floor beneath her, and the tightly bound ropes around her wrists and ankles, and gradually realized that she was shaking violently with cold, pain and fear.There seemed to be a crazy voice in that tone that sounded above her head again: "Why did the Dark Lord fail? Tell me!"

Lorenthia panted and opened her eyes, and saw Sirius lying beside her, also tightly bound.His face was pale, and the hair on his forehead was completely wet, looking as if he had been fished out of the water.She suddenly realized the source of the scream that had woken her up. "Why torture Sirius?" she blurted out. "Isn't he with you?"

Bellatrix laughed hysterically, as if hearing the funniest thing in the world. "Sirius Black, my dear cousin, on the side of the Dark Lord?" she laughed, and spat on Sirius with hatred, "a man like him never deserves such glory! Now Tell me, why did the Dark Lord fail? What did the Potters and their child do?"

"I don't know..." Lorenthia said, but Bellatrix didn't even let her finish the sentence. "Cruciate!"

Once again she was engulfed in pain.

Who the hell invented this spell?Who the hell would invent such a spell?She thought desperately when her body was being eaten away inch by inch by countless blades, and her muscles and nerves were being roasted in the raging fire.Merlin, God, if there is any god in this world—please help me.Death is better than this pain.Why can't Bellatrix just give her an Avada Kedavra?She really couldn't bear the pain.Whatever it is, let this pain stop.

After an eternity of time, the pain finally stopped.Lorencia lay limp on the ground, her face covered in cold sweat, her body was too tired to feel the cold around her.She was vaguely aware that her face was wet with tears. "I told you she didn't know!" Sirius yelled from the side. "She doesn't even know who the secret keeper is. How do you think she knows how Voldemort stupidly killed himself?"

"Shut up! Cruciatus!" Bellatrix roared angrily, and Lorenthia subconsciously closed her eyes, only to find that the spell was directed towards Sirius. "How dare you - insult - the great Dark Lord like this!"

Every few words she said, Lorenthia could feel the power of the spell piercing the air like electricity, making her hair stand on end.What would be the effect of stacking several Cruciatus Curse?How is it possible for humans to endure such a spell?No matter which side Sirius was on, she couldn't see a man being tortured like this. "Stop--stop!" She struggled, but her hands were tied behind her back, and the posture of her whole body lying on the ground made her twist her body in vain, "Stop! Don't do this--you will kill him of!"

But she doubted that Bellatrix had really heard her cry.In the small and dark room, Sirius' screams, her own screams, and Bellatrix's crazy shouts and laughter occupied all the space, making her eardrums ache, and she couldn't hear herself clearly. sound.All she could do was cry over and over in despair: "Stop—please! Stop!"

When the screaming and wild laughter finally gradually stopped, Lorenthia felt that she was about to suffocate.Then she discovered that Bellatrix had stopped torturing not because she was tired, but because Rodolphus had opened the door and walked in at some point. "Wormtail came over and said that everything on the two of them must be destroyed. Any photo folders, necklaces and rings must not be left behind."

Bellatrix made a disgusted sound. "That dirty and cowardly little thing, how dare he order me?"

"There's no harm in checking again." Rodolphus glanced at Lorenthia with a disgusting gaze. Just seeing his gaze slowly sweeping over her body, Lorenthia felt a kind of Feeling stripped naked, she couldn't help shrinking back. "By the way, also, he said this guy is an Animagus."

Bellatrix snorted, "You suspect I didn't check carefully enough?"

Rodolphus seemed a little afraid of her, so he didn't answer.Bellatrix raised her wand, and a blue-and-white spell hit Sirius, which Lorenthia recognized as the anti-transfiguration spell.Sirius lay lifeless, motionless.Rodolphus glanced at him: "Is he still alive?"

A panic rose in Lorenthia's heart.She turned her head eagerly to stare at Sirius, but the room was too dim to see if his chest was still heaving.Can the combined power of three or four Cruciatus Curse kill a person?She didn't know, but after experiencing the power of the spell firsthand, she dreaded the possibility.Bellatrix snorted coldly with disdain: "It's too cheap for him to die. We can also catch other people, such as the Longbottoms. Maybe they know something."

"What didn't come out?" asked Rodolphus.

Bellatrix let out a horrible laugh. "There's plenty of time to mess with them later."

She dropped this sentence and left with Rodolphs, not knowing whether to catch the Longbottoms or not—Lorenzia secretly prayed that Frank and Alice would not be caught by them.Immediately after they left, the room was completely dark, without any light source. Lorenzia only remembered seeing some old furniture and broken cardboard boxes in the corner, and there was a musty smell in the air—— Appears to be an abandoned basement.

Now that her body recovered from the panic and pain a little, the cold immediately came back—the thin nightgown and the coat that was thrown on indiscriminately could not resist the climate of this season.She twisted her body, propelling herself with her shoulders and knees, groping forward on the ground until her shoulders hit another body.As soon as she exerted herself, she put her shoulders on Sirius' shoulders, leaned her head on his chest, and listened quietly for a while, until she was sure that his heartbeat and breathing were still there before she let out a sigh of relief. "Sirius," she whispered eagerly, pushing him with her shoulder. "Wake up! Sirius!"
