Hello, Dear Reader.
I am Izar Marvela Snape, 'Firewhisky Child' of Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black after Snape was given the Dark Mark, along with many others. I was born on the 13th of September in 1977 to Bellatrix Lestrange and her new husband Rodolphus Lestrange, who was foolish enough to believe that I was his. From what I can re-call from the age of four Mother took me almost everywhere, including the Death Eater meetings.
When Voldemort was brought down Mother went off the deep end, she kept me at her side even more than normal, I now know that this was paranoia setting in but I was just confused at that point in time.
One night Mother dresses me in my traveling cloak and put my hair in a braid and says that we were going to find 'our lord.
When we arrived at the Longbottoms home Mother and the others weren't subtle when they blew open the door and and stormed into their home,
Mother shoved me under a stand and stood in front of it, I peaked around her dress to see the battle. Frank and Alice put up a strong fight, Alice managed to send off her patronus before being captured, Frank Longbottom followed suit fast.
When they said they had no idea what had happened to the dark lord in only served to anger my Mother more. "Izar come here." I stood and did as she said.
"Now be a good girl for Mommy and help me." I knew that look, it was the same one when she was about to curse others. "Give me your hand dear."
I was confused at this point but did as she said, Mother put her wand in my hand and helped me hold it steady at Alice Longbottom. "Say the Magic Word sweety." She whispered in my ear, I did as she said. "Crucio" an eerie coloured shot at Alice Longbottom and she flinched for two seconds. "Good first try sweet heart, here let Mommy help you this time. on the count of three. One. Two. Three. Crucio!""crucio!" I said it with her and Alice screamed and Frank Started yelling and begging for us to stop. Mother let up on the curse. "You have to want to inflict the pain Izzy dear, anger doesn't last long. Here, I'll show you how it is properly done." She kissed my cheek and smoothed my hair.
Frank and Alice Longbottom lasted nearly and entire half hour before the went silent, and five minutes more before the stopped twitching. They were still breathing when Mother stopped though. Just as Mother bent over to pick me up there was a least a dozen cracks and then there were spells and curses flying all over, I ran into another room, watching through the key hole. Mother was like a wild animal with her attacks and was the last one to go down,
cursing and screaming the whole time. Strange people were surrounding my Mother and I panicked.
"Mommy!" I screamed and bolted out of the door and flung my arms around her. "I'll be fine sweety, Aunt Cissy will take care of things." No one but myself heard her words to me. I was balling my eyes out when someone tore me away from her, that's when I showed them just whose daughter I was, I kicked as hard as I could, screamed as loud as I could till it hurt and even tried to bite the arm that held me away from her. "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!" I left scratches on the one who was holding me back. "Alastor, take Bellatrix Lestrange away." "NO!" But they were gone and I was let loose, I just crumpled to the floor sobbing.
Eyes blurry with tears I looked up to who had held me, long white beard and loud robes and half-moon glasses. "Dumbbeedoord?" Even in this situation Dumbledore couldn't help but smile a bit. Mother had said to avoid him at all costs. I started to run for the door but found that I couldn't open it and I whimpered. "Lemme go now!" I tried to look mad and much bigger than I was but I knew that it was useless. A sad look crossed his face. "I'm sorry Miss Lestrange but I can't do that. You'll be going to your Aunts home." My eyes darted looking for and exit. "Aunt Cissy?" I asked hopefully.
"No, you'll be going to your Aunt Andromeda Tonks and her family until things can be legally settled."
Like the child I was I crossed my arms and flopped down on my rump. "I'm not goin' to that blood-traitor! Mommy says shes a disgrace." Dumbledore closed his eyes and appeared to be avoiding a memory."You will go and that is that. Now come with me and the quicker we are out of here the quicker you might go to your Aunt Narcissa Malfoys home. Until then come with me." He held out his hand and I took it, then there was a babies cry. "Oh dear..."
Dumbledore lead me into the room I had taken cover in and inside it was a baby room, and inside the crib was the source of the cries. "Hey, isa baby."
"Yes, this is the only son of Frank and Alice Longbottom. We will need to take him to his Grandmother." I was confused at this. "Why can't he be with his Mum and Dad?" Dumbledore picked up the baby and sighed."You don't understand yet do you? That curse made them insane, they can't even take care of themselves now." I still didn't quite understand but now understood that the spell Mother loved was bad.
I held onto Dumbledores hand for the trip to wherever it was we were going to. When we arrived inside the home a lady was on the couch sobbing.
"Albus! What has happened! What has happened to my son and Alice?! Why do you have Neville?!" Dumbledore set the baby in the playpen and I stayed behind his loud robes the whole time. "Frank and Alice are at St. Mungo's...I'm sorry but I don't think their recovering from this one." "What. Happened?."
The lady had a very demanding voice. "Death Eaters raided their home, trying to gain information on what happened to Voldemort. Bellatrix used the Cruciatus curse, we don't know how long they were under." "A half hour I think, the stopped screaming and twitching at that point." I said it like I was stating the weather as I looked out her window at the bright sunny day."Albus who is that girl! Why would she know that?!" I turned and faced her, and her eyes widened. "You dare bring that...THING in here Dumbledore!" "Now now calm down please, she was only there because her Mother brought her. It was not her fault for what happened to Frank and Alice..." We were there for about fifteen minutes longer, and then we left with a pop and arrived at what I assumed was the entrance to my Aunt Andromedas home. I was right.
Dumbledore then lead me to the front door and I hid behind him. "Oh hello Professor! What brings you here today?" The voice sounded like Mothers but it was off a bit, it wasn't...I didn't know, but it was different. "May we come in first?" Dumbledore said that and I knew I then had to step out and face my Aunt.
My eyes widened. "You look like Mommy." Her eyes were wide as well but she moved to let us inside.
"Is she who I think she is Albus?" She asked once the door was closed. "Perhaps we should sit down first?" She nodded and lead us into the living room and motioned for us to sit where we pleased. "Andromeda, were you aware that Bellatrix had a child?" Andromeda stared at me for a moment. "No, I was not aware that she had reproduced. Why is she with you? Bella would never let her out of her sight I would imagine." "Your quite right, Bellatrix, Rudolfus and a few other Death Eaters raided the Longbottoms home. Bellatrix tortured them into insanity, I'm afraid that they shall never be back to how they were."
Andromeda was speechless, her sister had driven two of her good friends insane."No..." "It appears that they wanted information on Voldemort, and when they failed to give information that they clearly didn't have the Cruciatus Curse was placed upon them by Bellatrix."
Andromeda wouldn't stop staring at me, like I was the one who drove them crazy. "I'm four, she only twitched when I tried to do it by myself." I folded my arms and scrunched my nose like something foul was in the air. Looking back I had probably picked that little trait up from Aunt Cissy. Anyhow, back to where we were. This statement immediately drew Dumbledores attention to me, there was no twinkle in his eyes. "Did you just say that you used an Unforgivable curse on another human?" I nodded "Mommy says I need to practice, she help me the second time and it worked more." I smiled, I was proud that I had made Mommy happy, but they didn't look happy at all. My smile turned into confusion and I tilted my head like a puppy. "What?" Dumbledore shook his head sadly.
Dumbledore didn't answer me, but instead started to speak to Aunt Andromeda in a hushed voice, I sighed and started looking around, there were moving portraits with Aunt Andromeda and a Man and Child that was a few odd years older than myself with bright pink hair. "Who's that." I asked pointing at the pink haired girl in the picture. "That is my daughter Nymphadora, and the man is my husband Ted. They are at a Quiddittch match today, they will be back in about two hours." Dumbledore stood up and straightened his hat. "Well I should be going now, Izar, behave for your Aunt Andromeda and Uncle Ted, okay?"
I nodded. "Okay." I went back to looking at the pictures.....
