A thunderstorm was roaring outside the castle and long gone was the love magic that occurred in the room, the memories of the most amazing thing they’ve done in their lives still remain in their mind, however, time was crucial and they needed to do the ritual before midnight.

So, now that they were back on their feet with their outfits just in the way they were when they arrived, Harry and Hermione shared one look as they finished the blood engravings on the floor for the ritual.

“Bellatrix Lestrange,” Hermione said as she wrote the name on the notebook.

This notebook was a good tool when it came to turning their enemies into squibs, however, just one name was enough to drain Harry and Hermione’s magic, so, this had to be used as a last resource.

This time they decided to put Bellatrix Lestrange's name on it because she has been causing chaos and mayhem since the moment she was freed from Azkaban, not even Voldemort was making such movements, or at least this is what she found out after taking a quick look into Tonks memories.

The Auror was a good person, she was dating one of Hermione’s favorite teachers, and frankly, she was happy for them, her professor was happier and Tonks was more cheerful than when she was chasing after Remus, but the point here is that thanks to the fact that they were dating, it was more usual to see Tonks at school.

During those few times they met when she came to visit the professor, Hermione found out that when people are in love, their mind shields are much weaker, of course, Tonks could suspect she looked at her memories but no one knows she’s practicing occlumency with Harry, so, they’re fine for now.

After taking a look into Tonks' memories, she found out that Voldemort was hiding for some reason, he hadn't made a key move yet, and he was acting like a snake, hiding and taking his time before he attacked and when that moment comes, things are going to get really ugly, but he wasn’t going to catch her and Harry unprepared.

This spell was going to change everything because Harry needed to fight Voldemort in public, yes, they could probably take care of him right now but the fight needed to be public, they needed to lure him out of the shadows in a place where everyone can see and realize their mistake for treating their savior like shit.

In different circumstances, Hermione would have forgave them and put everyone’s safety as a priority but if they didn’t care about the return of the dark lord why should Harry and her care about them? Yes, it was selfish but now they were only taking care of Voldemort because they wanted a future together.

They wanted a happy future with her parents, Sirius, and all their friends, they wanted their own family and they wanted them to be safe but with Voldemort and his followers out in the open that was only a fantasy for the moment.

“Are you ready Mione?” He asked before he grabbed her hand to get her back on her feet.

“Yes, I’m ready,” she said as she held the notebook and on the first page there was the code.

“Nulla magicae…” Harry said as he took a look at the incantation they were going to use for the spell, it was written on the first lines of the code.

The spell was going to take everyone by surprise, two words, the wand movement is based on a cubic function and the movement has to be performed between one and one point five seconds. But this is just the start, they plan on learning how to silently cast the spell, it was theirs and no one else’s, it was their secret weapon and not even their descendants are going to know about this unless the situation requires it, they’re going to make sure of it.

“Shall we start, love?” He asked with a warm smile and she nodded.

Soon, they were in their positions, and the candles were starting to move as they chanted some incantations in Latin, the thunderstorm on the school grounds was really setting the mood, their new spell was going to hit everyone like a thunder and while all this was happening Bellatrix was having her fun in another place…

Diagon Alley on an abandoned alley…

“It’s over Amelia, I’m sorry, we had fun back in school my love but you’re a threat to my lord's plans,” Bellatrix cackled.

Amelia couldn’t believe it, she was investigating a lead on the “serial squibber” as they call the person who’s been doing some terrible things in Hogwarts but turns out it was a fake lead, she should’ve gone home but she decided to put her duty above anything else.

“Susan…I’m sorry,” said the older redhead as she remained on the floor, she was completely soaked due to the heavy storm that was happening, the thunders surely reminded her of her childhood and how she feared them.

And speaking about thunders one of them roared just as Bellatrix laughed, however, that laughter suddenly turned into painful screams as Amelia’s former lover soon collapsed on the floor and started screeching.

Amelia was taken aback by the sight, however, her Auror instincts were faster, and soon, she had her wand pointed at the crazy witch who was still screaming on the floor, Amelia took the opportunity to take Bellatrix's wand and call for reinforcements and soon, Kingsley, Yaxley and Tonks were with her.

“What the…Aunty Bella?” Asked Tonks with disgust.

The crazy witch could only scream louder and soon, everyone stared at her with eyes wide open as some kind of white mist with her form started to come out of her body, at first they were worried her soul was being sucked by something they weren’t aware of like a pesky dementor, however, the crazy witch suddenly started to cry which meant that she still had her soul.

“Bellatrix Lestrange, you’re under arrest for escaping Azkaban!” Amelia said with an angry tone.

However, Bellatrix's cries suddenly stopped, and instead of what the redhead told her, she chuckled, she was surrounded and she had no wand but there was still something she could do.

“I’m sorry love but, you’re not going to catch me,” Bellatrix said with a mocking tone before sending a kiss to the redhead.

However, her eyes suddenly widened when she realized something.

“What the…Why can’t I apparate?” She asked with a shocked tone.

To say that the Aurors were taken aback by the sight would be an understatement; they knew what this meant, either the serial squibber was nearby or he found a way to use his powers from far away.

Amelia’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted as the crazy witch desperately tried to cast a wandless spell, only to fail miserably. Nothing was happening; if there’s something the Death Eaters feared the most was losing their magic, and it seems like Bellatrix had been cursed to experience that.

“Arrest her and take her to the headquarters, this is going to be a shitshow once the press knows about this,” Amelia couldn’t help but massage her temple.

She’s worried that the public might become paranoid about this situation, yes, Bellatrix deserved this fate, however, most people aren’t going to see a Death Eater being deservingly punished, they are probably going to start wondering if the serial squibber is going to attack them next.
