Alone: The First Few Years

Prologue

"Make sure that there is no evidence, I don't care if she was your wife. The Aurors will be here shortly and they will arrest you. I will take the child to Lucius Malfoy, where you can find her when you are released." A menacing voice said from under a dark hooded cloak. The man to whom she was speaking, nodded quite reluctantly, for the child was his own.

This man had just followed orders from the closest Death Eater to the most powerful sorcerer of the time, Lord Voldemort. The orders had been to kill his wife. She had been threatening to go to the Ministry of Magic to give away the whereabouts of every Death Eater and in-turn, turn herself in. But then again Lord Voldemort couldn't stand to be defied, let alone by a woman. Oh no, and because he enjoyed cruelty, he sent her husband to murder her.

"I think they are here Bellatrix, you must go. Please I request that you take care of my daughter, Kavendra. She will serve the Dark Lord well someday." The man said this as the door was blown open. Bellatrix, holding the two year old child, apparated just as the seven Aurors entered the home.

'Ding Dong' The doorbell sounded at the Malfoy Manner at around 1:30 in the morning. A slight shuffling could be heard from the inside.

"Bella, I have been expecting you." A rather disgruntled looking man said opening the door wide for Bellatrix Lestrange to pass through. "Narcissa has prepared the infants room, in the basement. She however requests that the child come in no contact with our son. Draco is asleep in his bedroom at the moment." Bellatrix thought that this last bit of information was quite irrelevant to the current situation.

"I have brought your orders Lucius as well as the child. You are to take her to Ollivander's and buy her a wand. Her father left her an entire volt at Gringotts. The key is around her neck. But you buy her any supplies you need to teach her everything you know. The dark arts, potion making, spells, poisons... and everything and anything else you can muster. I do not believe that the Dark Lord is dead, but only cast into hiding. I order you to not lose faith." With this Bellatrix handed the sleeping child over to Lucius.

"I'm sorry my dear Bella, but… I have been discovered and had to exclaim that I was under the Imperious Curse…" this he said quietly, "They are here for you. I had no choice."

"What are you talking about, Lucius?" She said as she heard a loud bang from behind her. Four Aurors came bursting through the door, blasting it to pieces.

"Right on time." Lucius Malfoy said quietly. Narcissa took Kavendra and quickly made her way down to the basement. She ignored the screams of her sister being dragged from the house. Amongst all this noise, Kavendra began wailing, but with all the commotion it had gone unnoticed, until of course Narcissa and Kavendra were alone in basement. A torch burst into flame as Narcissa gave a slight wave of her wand.

"There now child, shhhh. Calm down and go to sleep." Narcissa said once again waving her wand.

"How is she?" Lucius questioned his wife.

"She's fine but, Lucius… have you seen her arm?" Narcissa said with a hint of caution and rejoice in her tone.

"No, why? Is she… a… Is she one of us?" he asked looking toward the now sleeping girl.
