A little later Ursa walks into the Burrow as Arthur and Harry speak. "As for Draco Malfoy," Arthur says. "I know a bit more." Ursa pauses and secretly listens.

     "Go on." Harry says.

     "I sent an agent to Borgin and Burkes. I think from what you described, the object that Draco is so interested in, is a Vanishing Cabinet."

     "A 'Vanishing Cabinet'?"

     "They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power. Should the Death Eaters come knocking, one simply have to slip inside and disappear for an hour or two. It transports your practically anywhere. Tricky contraptions, though. Very temperamental." Ursa pretends like she just walked in and heads to the stairs.

     "What happened to it? The one at Borgin and Burkes?"

     "Nothing. It's still there."

     "It better be or I need to skin a werewolf." Ursa mumbles to herself as she walks up the first stairs.

     "Ursa, why is your brother interested in a Vanishing Cabinet?" Harry asks.

     "Harry this is the last time I am going to tell you this nicely." Ursa says. "You don't need to know everything that is going on. Dumbledore will tell you what you need to know."

     "Does he know?"

     "No idea."

     "I deserve to know."

     "Why? Because you're the 'Chosen One'? It has nothing to do with you and even if it did, there is some information that you are not allowed to know. You are no where near a strong enough Occlumens to know some things. You pissed off Severus and he ended your lessons. It is your own fault you aren't allowed to know somethings."

     "And you are?"

     "Yes I am." Ursa says as she walks towards Harry. "because unlike you, I have managed to keep the Dark Lord out. One of the greatest Legilimens. You are such a weak Occlumens projecting myself into your 'Panic Room' was easy. Yes 'The Panic Room' is a Legilimency spell. Your skills are so weak I could probably get in your head right now without a wand."

     "No you couldn't"

     "Don't test me. You don't need to know everything Harry."

***

     After dinner, Ursa sits in the living room and works on the knitting Hermione and Mrs Weasley are teaching her. "Are you sure you can't stay a little longer?" Mrs Weasley asks Tonks and Lupin.

     "No we should go." Tonks says. "The first night of the cycle is always the hardest."

     "Remus?" Arthur questions as he notices something is wrong with Lupin.

     "Sweetheart?" Tonks asks. Fire shoots down from the sky and surrounds the Burrow. Ursa sees it and instantly knows who it is.

     "Shit." Ursa stands and grabs her bag from next to her. She runs out the front door and the adults try to stop her.

     "She's probably here for me." Ursa says. "I'll get her away."

     "Who is?" Mr Weasley asks. Ursa doesn't answer and runs out, putting her bag on as she runs. She runs through fire before the circle closes and as Bellatrix lands.

     "Get back here you little brat!" Bellatrix yells before running after Ursa. Ursa runs through the reeds as fast as she can, trying to get Bellatrix away from the Burrow. "Get back here! You are in so much trouble!" Ursa trips and falls as Harry catches up to her. Ginny quickly follows and they all block off any spells, Ursa wandlessly. The adults arrive a minute later and join in the blocking.

     "Get over here you little bitch!" Bellatrix yells as the adults try to surround Ursa. Ursa fights past them and blocks an incoming spell. "Come with us Ursa and no one will get hurt."

     "You are not taking her." Lupin says.

     "Do you promise?" Ursa asks.

     "Ursa don't!" Harry yells.

     "I promise we are only here for you." Bellatrix replies. "Come on now dear."

     "I have to Harry." Ursa says.

     "She'll kill you." Harry says.

     "No she won't. But she will kill you."

     "Now Ursa!" Bellatrix snaps.

     "Yes Auntie." Ursa says as she walks over to Bellatrix.

     "Good girl." Bellatrix grabs Ursa's arm and disapparates. They land at the manor gate and Bellatrix drags Ursa towards the door.

     "Let go of me!" Ursa snaps.

     "No. You will run the second I let go and do not dare try to transform." Bellatrix drags Ursa into the manor. "Now shut up or I will make you wish you were never born."

     "Who says I do not already wish that!"

     "Shut up you little bitch." Bellatrix drags Ursa to her room and pushes her to the floor.

     "Fuck." Ursa hisses as she hits the floor.

     "One runaway as requested." Bellatrix says to Narcissa before leaving.

     "Bitch!" Ursa yells after her, not noticing Narcissa. "Yes Bellatrix, being rough with me totally isn't going to make me leave again," Ursa says to herself. "when it is the reason I fucking left in the first place." Ursa walks to her windows as she mumbles. "Fucking bitch." Narcissa clears her throat. Ursa jumps and spins around. "Fucking hell how long have you been there?" Narcissa walks over and grabs Ursa's shirt.

     "Stop cursing." Narcissa hisses. "I told you not to leave this house or there would be consequences and you leave us on Christmas again." Ursa rolls her eyes.

      "I honestly do not care. Like I said last year, I would rather spend Christmas where I am wanted. I almost did not come home this year." Ursa pushes Narcissa away from her and walks over to her bed. "So what are you going to do? You already have my wand. What else is there to do?"

     "I have not decided what I am going to do with you yet. Go to sleep, I will deal with you tomorrow. Do not try leaving again or I will let Bella deal with you herself."

     "Yes Mother."

***

     Ursa looks up from her book when Narcissa and Bellatrix walk into her room. "What do you want?" Ursa asks.

     "What is with the attitude?" Narcissa asks.

     "Well I assume you are here to punish me so why be happy?"

     "What have I told you about having an attitude with me?" Bellatrix growls.

     "What have I told you in response? The more you piss me off, the more of an attitude I am going to get."

     "Why did you leave?" Narcissa asks.

     "I told you. I wanted to be somewhere that I wanted. Besides Auntie gave me a reason." Ursa gets off her bed and walks to her vanity.

     "Bella I told you not to hurt her!"

     "I did not touch her!" Bellatrix replies and Ursa rolls her eyes.

     "Did it ever occur to you to ask if you could go?" Narcissa asks as Ursa picks up her hairbrush and brushes her hair."

     "Would you have said yes?" Ursa asks in reply.

     "Of course not."

     "My point exactly. What is the point of asking if you are going to say no anyways? And if I asked, it would have tipped you off that I would be going no matter what."

     "How did you get out?" Bellatrix asks.

     "I have my ways."

     "Did Dra-" Narcissa starts.

     "No Draco did not help me. He is too scared of you."

     "You are not?"

     "No I am. But I also do not care at this point. I am done with life." Ursa sets her hairbrush down. "Are you going to get to punishing me or are we just going to stand here and talk?"

     "How the hell did you get out?" Bellatrix asks. "Cissy has your wand and the manor and the sitting room were locked."

     "As I said, I have my ways." Ursa walks away from her vanity only to be pushed into the wall next to it. Bellatrix pins her to the wall, hand at her throat.

     "Answer. Me."

     "It is not like you can stop me." Bellatrix slaps Ursa and Ursa glares at her. Ursa looks to Narcissa and Narcissa just shrugs.

     "Last chance to answer me the easy way." Bellatrix draws her wand.

     "Fine, I do not need a wand to do magic. I can lock and unlock doors without a wand." Bellatrix does not move so Ursa pushes her away, hard. She walks towards her couch only to fall to her knees in pain before she can get there. Behind her, Bellatrix has started hexing Ursa. Ursa cries out as it gets worse. She looks up to see Narcissa hexing her too. She looks at Narcissa and stares her in the eyes. Ursa's irises turn black and green flames shoot down her arms as she screams. Ursa shoots her hand out towards Narcissa and the fire rushes towards Narcissa. Narcissa jumps out of the way before it hits her, cutting off Narcissa's hex. Narcissa and Bellatrix quickly back out of the room, Bellatrix keeping her hex going until the door is closed. Ursa rushes at the door, arms still covered in green flames. Ursa tries to open the door to find it locked and she pounds on the door. "Open the door! Open the fucking door! You did this to me!" Ursa sits against the wall next to the door and cries. Draco steps out of his room.

     "What is going on?" Draco asks. "I heard screaming."

     "I am not entirely sure. Something is wrong with Ursa." Narcissa says.

     "Was it just me or did Ursa seem to be on fire?" Bellatrix asks.

     "Not just you."

     "Green flames?" The women nod. "Did you hurt her Mother?"

     "I do not see-" Narcissa starts before sighing. "Yes."

     "She finally had her final event."

     "What are you talking about?" Bellatrix asks.

     "I will let her explain, but she is more powerful now."

     While Bellatrix and Draco go off to do things, Narcissa waits outside Ursa's door for Ursa to calm down. She carefully opens it and sees Ursa zoned out. "Ursa?" She asks softly. "Ursa?"

     "You want to know why I left." Ursa says while continuing to stare off into space. "I don't want to be here. Haven't you figured that out by now? If that wasn't a punishment then I don't know what you are going to do. You still have my wand, Auntie will probably hurt me the second you leave me alone long enough. At this point I'm pretty sure I have been hexed enough that I am resistant to a lot of the pain." Ursa stands and walks over to her bed.

     "Draco said you had your final event. What did he mean?"

     "Dumbledore found the diary of someone who was like this too. They had four events, the first was the first time I transformed. The second was before 4th year when Draco accidently scared me just after turning back. Third was last Christmas when you discovered it. This was the last one. I am the most powerful I will get now. Each one gave me increased power and the second and third ones gave me the ability to talk to magical birds and the ability to control my transformations.

     "What caused the one last Christmas and this one?"

     "Last Christmas was extreme anger. This one was being betrayed by the one I love most."

     "Me hexing you?"

     "Never thought you would use harmful magic on me."

     "So you were not originally planning on coming home?"

     "You said it yourself that the only reason you had not disowned me and kicked me out was because I wasn't 17. Now I am. What is the point of coming home if you are just going to get kicked out and disowned?"

     "I promised you I would not do that. Even if I would that was before you did the right thing and took the Dark Mark."

     "Do you realize how fucked up that is? That joining a hate group is what is keeping me from being kicked out. One that I do not really want to be a part of."

     "Then why-"

     "I have told you. To protect us; Draco, you, and me. Nothing else has changed. I still do not want to be mean to dirty blood. I still do not want to kill Muggle-borns. I am just trying to keep our family alive."
