Chapter 407: So, Where is it?

"I don't see anything but trees..." A burly man clad in black robes muttered while pacing in circles, his eyes scanning the dense forest.

"Are you sure it's here?" asked another equally large man, mirroring the first's movements.

"Yes, I'm sure!" A third figure, crouched low to the ground, sniffed the air and the grass in frustration.

"Crabbe, Goyle, shut your mouths and let the rat work," snapped Bellatrix Lestrange, her icy voice cutting through the air.

Instantly, silence fell.

Despite their thick-headedness, even Crabbe and Goyle Senior knew better than to irritate Bellatrix when she was in one of her moods. And right now, her mood was downright murderous.

"Ahh!" Bellatrix let out a shriek of frustration, flinging her black umbrella to the ground before smashing a nearby tree branch with her bare hands. "Nothing but grass, flowers, and trees! What a disgusting place!"

"Miss Bellatrix!" Goyle yelped, panicking as her discarded umbrella left her exposed.

The sun in this part of Britain was mild, but it was still daylight, and vampires were notoriously vulnerable to sunlight.

"The sun!" Crabbe shouted, pointing skyward. "The sun!" He scrambled to retrieve the umbrella, fearing she would burst into flames at any moment and attempted to return it back to her.

"Do you two think I'm an idiot?" Bellatrix hissed, her sharp yellow eyes narrowing dangerously.

She pulled back the black robes covering her arms, revealing pale, glittering skin. With a flick of her wand, her flesh shimmered as if made of diamonds.

"Don't look at me like that!" he snapped. "I'm trying my best!" He could feel the noose tightening...if they failed to locate Potter Manor, their deaths at Bellatrix's hands were all but guaranteed, and even if the Dark Lord would likely scold her for that...that was not going to help them right now.

Bellatrix's patience finally snapped. She raised her wand and began hurling fireballs in every direction. "That's it!, I had it!"

"Lady Bellatrix, please stop!" Goyle ducked behind a tree, narrowly avoiding a blazing projectile.

"You traitorous fools!" she shrieked. "Get over here! I'm going to rip your skulls out and turn them into a necklace!"

Wormtail, trembling, was about to transform into a rat and flee when something caught his eye.

One of Bellatrix's fireballs exploded midair as if it had struck an invisible barrier.

"Wait!, Wait Lady Bellatrix!." he cried, pointing. "There's something there!"

Bellatrix's eyes gleamed with predatory delight. She had not missed it either. "There is something there!" She stalked forward, wand raised.

"Did we find it?" Crabbe asked hesitantly.

"Is it finally over?" Goyle added.

"What do you mean we?" Bellatrix sneered. "I found it. If you imbeciles were more useful, we'd have done this hours ago! " Why didn't we do this from the beginning?"

" Well, that would have completely given away our intentions to the ones inside the house," Wormtail said without thinking.

"Silence!" Bellatrix snapped, her gaze sharp enough to cut steel. "So what? Do you think I'm afraid of a pack of cowardly traitors hiding behind wards?"

" No... of course not. " Wormtail hurried to say. " As long as My Lady is with us, there is no enemy to fear!"

Ignoring him, Bellatrix approached the spot where her spell had collided with the invisible barrier.

"Now... let's get in there." Her voice was brimming with eager anticipation.
