Note: This little drabble was inspired by a drabble my best friend wrote on her tumblr of Delphi and Bella years after Bella's death. Thankies darling

"Delphi.. There was..an accident.. Bella, your mummy, she won't be coming home..", for long moments the tearful blonde looked at her niece as she stroked a finger down one pale cheek. It was just after the battle had ended and she had been told of her sister's demise. "No! NO!", screaming at her aunt and making crockery in the kitchen where they were shatter into a thousand pieces the little girl ran out of the room and up the stairs.

Smashing open the door of her room Delphi flew in like a tornado and within seconds her raw magic had completely destroyed her room from windows to the carpets, even the picture of her with her mother, laughing and twirling as they danced in the rain just a day ago. Mother..

As the anger subsided within so came the bitter tears, sliding down over her face until all she could see was the salty mist of water. Wiping at her eyes with her fists she threw herself onto the bed and screamed, her little feet and fist pummeling away at the mattress. Even her little house elf, after repairing the damage the room and that picture could do nothing to soothe the distraught child.

It wasn't until midnight fell and her screams had turned long ago into whimpers that she felt a brush of a hand against her curls and a vice, her mother's voice, talking to her; "my little dolphin, i'm sorry I left, I had no choice but i'm not gone, i'm still here with you and will be with you every day". Looking up Delphi blinked back a fresh burst of tears as her gaze went right through her mother, "Mummy.. Aunt Cissy.. She said you were dead..". As the child again gave into her feelings and sobbed so Bellatrix took her into her lap as she always had and held onto her tightly, rocking her and soothing her as only she could.
