Once Harry gathered everybody in the living room. He put his hand in his pocket.

He dramatically put an ornate box on the table and opened it. The box contained two crystal vials of silver liquid.

"Tada! Elixir of Immortality. One of the most wanted items in the world"

...

Everybody was watching him silently and judging him. Hope just facepalmed

"Really Harry?" Melinda sighed, what was wrong with Harry's brain.

"Was there even a need for a dramatic reveal?" Andi said with an amused expression. 'Harry might be insane, but he is still just eleven. Moments like these is where he shows his true age. And I'm glad to see that he isn't completely cold on the inside'

Sirius looked like it was offended by Andi's remark "Is there a need?! Andy how could you ask that. Cool reveals are an important part of revealing treasure. Its a man's romance. How boring would it be just to place it on the table"

"I thought i was interesting" Astoria said with her hand raised to her face

"Yeah Mum. Haven't you seen any movies" Dora was beside Sirius with her hands on her hips " I can't believe you are actually my mother. So uncultured."

"I know right." Sirius shook his head "So disappointing"

Smack. Smack

Andi smacked them both on the head with an annoyed expression on her face. "That's enough out of you jokers"

Tori instantly hid behind Ophelia. Andi seeing this leaned a bit "Oh sweety. I'm not going to hit you. You are far to precious for that"

Dora was outraged " You won't hit her but you will hit your daughter! This is domestic abuse!"

"I say we sue her!" Sirius protested with his fist in the air.

Andi just waved her wand at both of them and cast a Silencing Charm. "Please continue with your explanation Harry" She left Sirius and Dora pointing at their mouths and trying to get rid of the charm.

'Idiots' Bella scoffed internally as they continued to point their wands at their mouths then they tried casting the spell on each other, only for that to fail as well.

But despite the chaotic situation, Bella was very excited. After months she was finally able to return to her original age. No more waking up and looking at an old and withered face. No more will she cry to sleep at night. Bellatrix Black will be back.

Harry ignored Sirius and Dora. He pointed at the Elixir. "I have already made sure they are safe. So now all that is left for you two to do is to drink them.

Bella turned to Melinda who just smiled warmly at her "You can go first child. I'm old but I'm not about to croak just yet. Break the chains that bind you and be free"

"thank you" mumbled Bellatrix softly, but it was obvious how grateful she was.

"Now Bella. I tested this out on a few people and each time they had different ages. So for now I can only theorise it brings them to the 'peak' age they imagine themselves as.

So it might turn you back to seventeen or it might be twenty-something. Just keep that in mind as you drink the Elixir"

Bella nodded at Harry as she took the flask and drank it in one go. ' Return me to seventeen. I want to be seventeen again' she repeated over and over in her mind.

Then finally the potion started working. Bella gasped as she felt the vitality, the lifeforce course through her body. It spread out everywhere, revitalizing her cells.

"Well this is something you certainly don't see often. In fact for ordinary mages you would never see this in your lifetime. Time being reversed on a person." Melinda watched with a smile as she watched Bella's sunken face return to normal. Even with Harry's potions fixing the years of malnourishment in Azkaban would take a while and there was always going to a permanent mark.

But now it was all gone. Her figure filled up, skin unblemished hair returning to silky black.

Andi and Narcissa stood there dumbfounded as they looked at their sister. She looked exactly like she did when they all went to Hogwarts together.

Even Harry was surprised by how beautiful Bella was.

'Well, I already knew how she looked from her memories. But seeing her like this. I understand why people even now talk about her beauty... Depends on which timeline this is but... if Voldemort truly ignored Bella when she was in the prime of her life.

Then he is either gay or asexual. Which I find hilarious. It must have been so tedious for him to seduce women.'

"Wow she is pretty, she looks so much better now" Astoria's thoughts as always were the most kind. As children have no filter on them. They will say things good or bad without a second thought.

"Yes she is honey" Ophelia looked at Bella with a strange expression. She was younger then Bellatrix Black. Joining Hogwarts when Bellatrix was already in her sixth year. She didn't have many chances to talk to her, but no matter where she went, Bella was always at the centre of attention.

It was not just her beauty that captured the attention like the Vella. It was the way she carried herself. Like a lioness walking through a clearing filled with herbivores. Right now as Bella regained her youth she was hit with the strangest sense of Déjà vu.

Bella looked at her hands in disbelief before touching her face, feeling the soft and smooth skin underneath her palms.

Harry smiled once he saw her expression. He summoned Mirror Alice and floated it in front of her.

Bella finally got a good look at herself. For months every morning she would wake up to a hollow older version of herself. She would put a glamor on her face. But if you touched the skin it would still feel older and dried out.

Now she remembered the old sensation of her skin. The way she looked the usual sarcastic smile that she was used to seeing was now a smile, a bright smile with an expression of pure joy 'Harry did it. He actually did it!'

She turned around and threw herself at the boy who saved her. Since she was seventeen she was quite a bit taller than Harry but she didn't care how awkward it was. She cried her eyes out as she burred her face on the crook of his neck

"thank you. thank you. thank-" She just kept repeating it while sobbing and crying.

Harry was stunned for a second before he chuckled and patted her on the back. "You are very welcome. I guess I'll be the first one to say it. Welcome back to the land of the living. Bellatrix Black"

After hugging the life out of Harry. Andromeda and Narcissa both grabbed Bellatrix and started to laugh and cry.

The mood in the room was infectious. Many people were happy and giddy.

Harry turned to Melinda " Your turn old hag"

"Who are you calling old you midget pyro." Melinda said as she raised her staff

"Who are you calling a midget?! I'm eleven and I'm already taller than most thirteen year olds!"

"Ehem" Hope coughed into her fist, breaking the two up. They had the strangest relationship. It was hard to tell who was actually in charge.

"Right. Well then, lets see how you do. Or are all of those stories from when you are young fake as hell"

Melinda got tic marks on her forehead but calmed down 'Damn this brat and his sharp tongue. I know he is trying to keep me distracted so I can be less nervous. But even when he is nice he still shows no mercy'

"I'll show you fake" Melinda grabbed the flask and drowned it in one go. After a moment she started to change. Her hair got longer and more pink in colour. Her small hunched frame grew. She was taller, fuller. Her body and beauty returned to her prime. She was a badass sexy 25 year old mage.

"Damn girl" Andi complimented her with a smile. The others were also stunned. An old granny with wrinkled skin turned into this incredibly attractive young woman.

"Ahhhh" Melinda sighed in relief as she stood up "Yes! No more back pains. Hahahaha. Take that old age!." She then paused and looked down at her big chest "Actually I take that back. Forgot about this. How is this fair? Young or old busty women will always have back pains!"

"Tell me about it sister" Andi said as she looked at her own chest.

"Hehehehe. Feel free to be jealous peasants!" Dora yelled out as her breast size started to change. From her normal C-cup to A then to double D. "I shall never have back pain in my life. Muhahahaa"

Andromeda silenced her again

Ted facepalmed "Honey you just got rid of the spell and thats the first thing that comes out of your mouth. Where did i go wrong"

"Hmm! Wmm wngm wtmm mm?" (Hey! What's wrong with me?)

Dora started talking only for some mumbling noises to come out. Andromeda changed up the spell, so instead of a full silence she could now mumble. But it was more complicated to remove it.

"You look beautiful Melinda" Hope hugged the now young woman. Which Melinda gladly returned, she patted Hope's head with a gentle smile on her face "Thank you dear. And thank you Harry."

Harry just smiled "Thanks between family members is unnecessary."

"Good" Melinda rolled her shoulders "Then you won't mind going out for a quick workout" she started to stretch

Harry just grinned "Are you calling me out for a spar?"

"Yes. I need to check if there is any problems with my mobility and my magic" Melinda nodded and Harry looked happier than ever. He raised his hand and started to move his fingers. The joints on his finger bones popped as a fireball appeared on his palm.

"I have been waiting for this day. Payback for the torture you put me through as a child"

Melinda scoffed "Oh don't be such a drama queen. I just made you try on some clothes before you burned them all."

"There were girl clothes in there!"

"Same thing" Melinda said offhandedly

"You are on old hag!"
