Bellatrix didn’t know what was happening right now, it didn’t make sense for her to be called by Harry Potter in a different part of the country when he was supposed to be standing right in front of her.

The one who was in the same room as she, was claiming he wasn’t the real one, he told her that he was under the effect of the polyjuice potion to look like Harry Potter, and if that was the case, she could easily kill him and get her hands on the real one who was currently calling for her in the other side of the country, however, there was a little voice in her head telling her to not do to that, there was also the possibility that the one in front of her could be lying, there was a high chance he could be the real Harry Potter, but she was finding it hard to accept that because that's something he claimed too.

If she decided to kill him, there was a high chance that she could destroy the last remaining piece of the soul of her master, and if she did that then everything would be over for her side because even though death eaters have no restraints as they can do whatever they want when they fight as they don't care about fighting fair and square.

Despite all the power they possess, Bellatrix Lestrange is not stupid and she knows that without Lord Voldemort, there’s no way for them to defeat the ministry in case they get serious, of course, they have some people working there, but she knows that won’t be enough for the day when death eaters officially get declared as enemies of the ministry which is something that is going to happen soon after what they did to the Potters but especially what they did to the so-called hero of the world: Henry Potter.

“I know you’re confused Bella…We can find a way in which the two of us can benefit,” Harry said with a smirk on his face.

He was loving having this monster in this position, she was scared as fuck, her plan has been completely ruined and Harry could see that she was starting to panic, he needed to be careful as she could do something stupid.

And then, it happened, she suddenly panicked and saved the crystals with the souls on her clothes before she ran outside but not before casting a restraining spell on him which completely paralyzed him.

“Shit!” Harry said with an angry tone and soon, it seemed like she was planning to get the other Potter and have them in the same room, if she did that then this whole operation would be over.

Harry thought there was no escape from this, however, something amazing happened, the restraining spell suddenly disappeared and once he gained control of his body he ran as fast as he could, he knew it was impossible to catch Bellatrix now and when he finally managed to get outside, he tried to check everywhere as this place was located in the middle of nowhere for a reason but there was no sigh of the woman, it seems like he has failed.

“Ah…Get away from me bitch!” Harry’s eyes widened when he heard the Bellatrix complaining while she was on the ground while someone was restraining her.

Harry couldn’t believe it, the person who captured Bellatrix before she could escape was someone he didn’t expect to see so soon, he was fighting so hard to not cry, but he couldn’t resist for too long.

“Dora!” Harry screamed and the woman suddenly looked at him with a soft smile on her face.

“Oh, hey Harry…You’re Harry, right? That other Harry I found outside the room where I was staying in St. Mungo’s told me to get my ass here as soon as possible, I heard the little argument you had with my aunty, so, I waited for her to come outside, and in the end, this is what happened,” the metamorph said as she had her so-called aunt in complete control.

“Yes…I’m Moody, Bellatrix Lestrange was with Harry Potter this whole time,” another person joined the trio.

He looked like Harry but he was acting like an old bitter man, but he wasn’t alone, there were a bunch of dark-cloaked Aurors walking behind him and more of them were apparating there and others were searching in the area with their brooms, they were searching for potential death eaters hiding in the area.

“Good work there Potter…You too Tonks,” Moody as Harry's double said with a slight smirk on his face. “Bellatrix Lestrange, you’ve been in the run for more than twenty years, but your time has finally come, we got you,” the fake Harry said with a wicked smile on his face.

Anyone who knows Alastor Moody is aware that the man has been clearly obsessed with catching this crazy witch, he has always regretted the fact that he couldn’t capture her the night she and Voldemort attacked the Potters, he was so close to doing it, but the moment he caught her, turns out she was using an illusion, not a surprise though, being a master illusionist is just one of her many characteristics.

“Moody, are you sure it’s her?” Asked a tall older man with a raised brow.

“Yes Kingsley, if she weren’t, she would've already disappeared, just like that time when her master died and she just toyed with me…You look like shit Lestrange,” Moody laughed before he grabbed her by her hair to make her face him.

But the moment she faced him, she decided to spit on his face.

“Oh come on, we just met after more than twenty years, at least invite me a coffee before you spit on me,” Moody told her with sarcasm and she was beyond furious.

But there was nothing she could do, Nymphadora had her wand and she used a special restraining spell only Aurors are taught and not even with her power was it possible for her to break the spell, least of all while she was surrounded by so many Aurors, even if she found a way to escape she knew her life would be over, and she needed to be alive, as long as she's alive she can revive her master.

“I’ve been told so many stories about you Aunty…I've always thought Mum was exaggerating but turns out she was right,” Nymphadora said with a shocked tone as she looked at her crazy aunt who had a murderous look.

Tonks suddenly faced Harry with an embarrassed expression but he didn't hesitate anymore, he decided to hug her tightly, he thought he would never see her again and she was the one that came to his rescue, this nightmare was close to being over.

The Aurors alongside Moody decided to give Tonks and Harry some time alone, after all, they’d been through a very traumatic experience, and when the hug ended they realized they were alone.

“I saw everything from the soul container Harry…I saw how cool you acted in the bathroom with Bellatrix, I even got scared the Horcrux might’ve taken over you,” she said as she caressed his face.

“Not yet…I needed to save you guys before that happened, I’m not that strong, this plan was Moody’s idea, he's the one who deserves the credit, and even though we were expecting someone to be revived at first, we were lucky you were the one revived, Bellatrix wanted to hurt me by using your soul but that was her worst mistake,” Harry said completely relieved.

Dora nodded, and she was on the verge of tears, but those tears were happy ones, and soon, there was a silence but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence, they were staring and smiling at each other, but then, it finally happened, they couldn’t contain themselves any longer and they decided to kiss.

The kiss was full of emotions, this wasn’t just because they were attracted to each other, this kiss was full of love and passion, it’s clear that the two of them had missed each other, and when the kiss ended, they couldn’t help but smile as they close their eyes.

They decided to not say anything else, they wanted to share more moments and do more things, but this wasn’t the right time, they needed to focus on getting back the souls of the members of the order of the Phoenix, so, they joined the Auror group and got back to the ministry with them.

Harry was surprised by how quickly news traveled, they had just arrived at the ministry entrance and there were already dozens of journalists taking pictures of Bellatrix and them while asking questions at the same time, the situation was too chaotic and it made sense because it's not every day that a death eater gets captured, especially not one of the caliber of Bellatrix Lestrange, she was Voldemort's right hand, her capture is a huge hit to the death eaters, but luckily, they managed to get inside and a few minutes later they were already in the Auror department offices.

“Harry…Tonks!” Suddenly they heard the voice that belonged to a witch with a French accent.

The woman couldn’t hold her tears and she threw herself at them, Harry and Nymphadora were a little surprised but they smiled and hugged her back.

“I’ve been here the whole day, I want to hear what happened with you Harry, L also want to know how Dora managed to get back!” The blonde said with a desperate tone and both of them nodded.

The re-encounter with Fleur made Harry feel better, he knew the French witch felt guilty because she survived the attack, so, knowing that they were going to get the souls of their loved ones soon made him feel better, they just needed to wait because he knows that the crystal balls are going to be used evidence for the case.

Harry was surprised by how good things turned out in the end, but he couldn't stop himself from feeling like this wasn't over, and the slight smirk Bellatrix gave to him in a fraction of a second as they stared at each other's eyes for a brief moment, made him question if this was truly over.
