=== February 22, 1997 ===
Bellatrix and Rudolphus Lestrange exit the servants' corridors. "The greenhouses are this way." Bellatrix says.
"Why go there?" Rudolphus asks.
"Draco said that's where the Longbottoms would be." Bellatrix answers.
"Draco was deceiving us. What makes you think he would be telling us the truth about that?" Rudolphus asks.
"Only one way to find out." Bellatrix says as she walks towards the greenhouses, Rudolphus follows behind her.
Soon they reach the greenhouses. Bellatrix opens the first one and finds it overgrown. "Look at this place." Rudolphus says. "It looks like nobody has tended it for years."
"All the better for them to hide in, no?" Bellatrix asks as she launches herself into the greenhouse.
Rudolphus sighs as pushes his way in. Immediately the overgrown foliage blocks his view of Bellatrix, he follows her based on sound alone. As he walks the vines rip his robes and catch on his mask, he eventually discards the mask and casts a spell to protect his robes.
Rudolphus continues forward until he suddenly comes to a clearing in the middle of the greenhouse.
"Rudolphus Lestrange, pleased to finally meet you." Neville says. Rudolphus' head snaps to the voice and he sees Neville. Without hesitation he fires a spell at him.
The clearing being too small to properly dodge the attack, Neville summons his sword and deflects the spell. "Aren't you going to ask who I am?" Neville asks as he pulls out his wand and fires a spell at Rudolphus.
Rudolphus silently uses a shield spell to block the attack. "I know who you are. I remember torturing your father." He smiles wickedly. "I wonder if your screams will sound like his!" He sends a barrage of spells in Neville's direction only for the plants to suddenly block them and his view of Neville.
Not to be deterred he starts firing spells randomly until suddenly he stops as he no longer feels his wand in his hand. As he looks down he sees his hand has been severed. Neville stands nearby, his sword slick with blood. "I yield!" Rudolphus says. "Return me to Azkaban!"
"Stupify!" Neville says, the spell hits Rudolphus and he knows no more.

Meanwhile Bellatrix blindly pushes through the greenhouse not caring that the plants tear her robes then start cutting her. Now bleeding in several places she comes to a small clearing. In the clearing she sees a very pregnant Hannah nestled in a hammock created by the plants.
Bellatrix laughs, "looks like I get two Longbottoms for the price of one." She goes to point her wand at Hannah and suddenly a vine wraps around her hand and lifts her arm into the air.
"That's not very nice." Hannah says as she moves to look at Bellatrix. "You were going to attack an unarmed pregnant woman."
Bellatrix goes to lunge at Hannah only for the vines to grab her other arm and lifts her off the ground. Then a vine grabs each of her legs and holds them tight. Bellatrix struggles against the vines. "Let me go!"
"I don't think so." Hannah says as she gets out of her makeshift hammock and summons Mujina in its wakizashi form.
Bellatrix laughs. "I see you're going to kill me with that muggle weapon."
"Oh, I have no plans to kill you." Hannah says as the weapon changes into a scalpel. "I'm going to do something much, much worse." Hannah holds out her empty hand and a vine puts a glass jar in her hand. Inside the jar is a black flower in the shape of a 5-pointed star.
Bellatrix thrashes against the vines. "Keep that away from me!"
"That's not how this works." Hannah says as the vines hold Bellatrix tighter. She raises the scalpel and cuts into Bellatrix.
"Don't… just kill me." Bellatrix begs.
"I bet Neville's parents begged you to kill them." Hannah says as she forces the wound open. She carefully opens the jar and vanishes Mujina before pulling out a pair of tweezers. She uses the tweezers to grab the flower out of the jar and shoves it into the wound.
"No." Bellatrix whimpers.
"Did you know Harry knows how to do muggle sewing?" Hannah asks as she pulls out a muggle sewing kit. "He wouldn't tell me who taught it to him, but he taught me." She stitches up Bellatrix.
"I can't feel magic anymore." Bellatrix says, her voice a bare whisper.
"That's the magebane." Hannah says. "You can't use magic anymore."
"Kill me! I can't live without magic." Bellatrix pleads.
"Oh, I don't believe that at all." Hannah says. "Especially since I have a necklace for you. It was found in the rubble after you killed Neville's parents." A vine brings over a necklace with a charm that looks like a broken dagger.
Bellatrix's eyes go wide. "I made that."
"That's right, and you put it in Neville's father so he couldn't kill himself after you drove him crazy." Hannah says. "And it just so happens that even with the magebane your own magic works on you." The plant places the necklace on Bellatrix. "Enjoy life as a muggle."

"Professor McGonagall is coming." Ron says. "Will you let her in?"
"Can't she let herself in?" Amanda asks.
"Hermione did something so the door can only be opened from this side once I activate the map." Ron answers.
Amanda nods as she walks over and sees runes on the door to enter the common room. "Damn." She whistles, "impressive." She opens the door and lets McGonagall in.
"Thank you, Missus Malfoy." McGonagall says. "How is it looking, Mister Weasley?"
"The Lestranges just entered the greenhouse where Neville and Hannah are." Ron answers.
"Should I send some backup?" McGonagall asks.
"I think they have it." Amanda says.
Suddenly a loud alarm pierces the air. McGonagall covers her ears. "What is that?"
Ron waves his wand and silences the alarm. "No, no, no."
"What is it?" McGonagall demands.
"The Death Eaters, they've found a way into the Daycare." Ron answers with barely a whisper.
"Missus Malfoy, open the window." McGonagall says as she casts a sticking charm on her hands.
"You'll never fit." Amanda says as she opens the window.
McGonagall jumps towards the window and shifts into her feline form mid-air. She easily catches the side of the window and takes off running her paws sticking to the side of the castle as she does.

A pair of Death Eaters exit the servant's corridors at the back of the Daycare. They see Maria and Shannon playing with Iris, Rose and Magnus. None of them are aware they're there.
They quietly walk towards them and when they see their chance one of them grabs Maria and lifts her off the ground. "Get her wand!" The one holding Maria says.
"Don't touch me!" Maria says as she struggles against her kidnapper.
"Stupify!" The other Death Eater says. the attack hits Maria and knocks her out, he paws at her clothes and finds her wand and puts it in his pocket. They both turn and walk towards the children.
"Don't come any closer!" Shannon says as she pulls out her wand and points it at the two Death Eaters. At the same time she uses her other arm out to keep the younger children behind her.
"Will you look at this?" The first Death Eater says as he drops Maria's unconscious form on the floor. "This one has a wand!"
The second Death Eater laughs. "I bet she doesn't know a single spell."
"I bet you're right." The first one says as she goes right up to Shannon. "See?"
"Lumos!" Shannon shouts, blinding the Death Eater. Who yells as he covers his eyes.
"Expelliarmus!" The second Death Eater shouts and Shannon's wand goes flying. "Clever, but fruitless." He walks up to her. "I recognize you, you were Wormtail's toy!"
"Toy?" Shannon asks, then grabs her head and groans in pain as the memories try to come through.
"Don't worry, I'll remind you of your place." The Death Eater says menacingly. "Let's start now." He undoes his robes and goes to do more when a small voice screams.
"Stupify!" The Death Eater turns and sees Iris holding Shannon's discarded wand right before the attack hits him.
The first Death Eater grabs the wand out of Iris' hand. "You're a naughty little girl, playing with things that don't belong to you."
"Not yours either!" Iris says as she tries to get the wand.
"Not so fast." The Death Eater says as he points his wand at her. "Now get over there with the others."
Iris walks over to the others. "Now, let's give the boy here a show, strip girls." The Death Eater commands. Iris and Rose look at Shannon, none of them move.
The Death Eater casts a cutting spell that severs the fabric on the right shoulder of Shannon's dress, and cuts Shannon ever so slightly. "Strip or I'll do it for you!"
"Not so fast!" McGonagall says as she casts several spells at the Death Eater.
The Death Eater turns his attention to McGonagall and the two of them duel, as they do Rose and Iris quickly go to the unconscious Death Eater and search his robes. Rose finds Maria's stolen wand and hands it to Iris.
The Death Eater raises his shield to block McGonagall's newest wave of spells so he's caught unaware when Iris points the wand at him and once again says: "Stupify!"
The spell hits the Death Eater stunning him. McGonagall looks over and sees Iris holding Maria's wand. "Good job." McGonagall says. "But who taught you that spell?"
Iris shrugs. "Just knew it."
