Bellatrix
I have lived; I have died (figure of speech.) Azkaban is like dyeing. You feel soulless. But know I am out, and in a muggle (grrr) orphanage with Narcissa and Lucius. When we walked in the people looked afraid. Since the Azkaban is not a know prison to muggles they don't know I escaped. The reception lady walked up to us.
"May I help you?" she asked.
"Yes I would like to look at children, age four, girls." I said. She nodded and walked out of the room, we followed.
Samantha
I sat quietly while Jessica straitened my wild curly raven black hair. Then Mrs. King walked in.
"Samantha, Jamie, Sarah, all please get ready for a parent interview." Jessica wasn't even half done my hair.
"Sammie we need to wet down your hair to get it back to normal." She said and pulled me to the washroom. Since Jamie and Sarah are older they go first. I just turned four, well today.
"Sam- WHAT DID YOU DO!" she screamed because Jessica was pulling the brush threw my wet hair. "OH put it up and a ponytail and let's go!" she said. As we walked down the hall right when she opened the door I said.
"And it is elastic. Pony's don't have rubber on their tails."I looked in and saw two ladies and a man.
"This Is Samantha Aquila. She doesn't have a last name. She just turned four." Said Mrs. King. I walked in and sat on the chair.
"So when did you turn four Samantha?" asked the lady with blond hair.
"Today." I said. She nodded and smiled. The other lady smiled to.
"What do you like to be called?" asked the black haired lady, she looks like me! Snap out of it!
"Sammie, everyone here calls me that except Mrs. King but she doesn't understand me. She makes me get shorts and I hate them!" I said. The guy smiled in amusement.
"Well Sammie, why is your hair wet?" asked the blond lady.
"Because Jessica tried straitening my hair and it didn't work. I went more curly." I said. I loved my hair but I was hard to do nice things with.
"Hmmm… Mrs. King!" called the black haired lady. Mrs. King walked in.
"Yes Mrs. Lestrange?" she asked.
"We are staying in a hotel, I would like her to come for a few days." She said.
"Very well, Samantha please pack some clothes." She said. I smiled at her then ran off to my room.
Bellatrix
"Mrs. Lestrange I would like to let you know, Samantha can become a handful. If she doesn't get what she wants she throws a fit." She said, I rolled my eyes.
"Trust me I can handle a four year old." I said, she nodded then Sammie came back in with a small bag.
"Samantha too many clothes." Said Mrs. King, me and Cissy looked at each other. That was hardly any clothes, maybe like two outfits.
"Mrs. King this is all my clothes." She said politely. Narcissa gasped.
"Samantha!" yelled Mrs. King, I was starting to hate her, look at my daughter, (yes my daughter.) "You do not need that many, you will be back in two days time!" she yelled. Sammie looked like she was about to cry.
"It is fine, Mrs. King." I said and picked Sammie up. She tensed up at first then relaxed. Narcissa picked up Sammie's bag and we walked out.
When we got to the hotel, I was caring Sammie on my hip, she was asleep. She looked so peaceful with her black hair all over the place out of her elastic. I walked into my hotel room and looked in the mirror. We looked the same except she was little. The she stirred a bit. Then opened her eyes sleepily. She looked at me.
"Hi Mrs. Lestrange." She said. I bounce her up a bit.
"You can call me Bellatrix or Bella." I said, she nodded and rested her head on my shoulder. I walked over to the Queen Size bed and laid her down and laid down beside her. She cuddled into me and I wrapped my arms around her.
Samantha
I cuddled into Bella and fell asleep….
"Samantha nobody likes you," said Charlie the oldest in our dorm room area.
"She just feels sorry for you, you are a baby, she is a strong woman." I started to cry. Then she hit me and I screamed,
"Sammie wake up it's just a dream!"
"Samantha we all hate you. You are a miserable little child."
"Sammie please wake up!"
I opened my eyes to see a startled Bella looking at me, I sniffled and she whipped tears from my cheeks.
"Bella?" I asked. She smiled at me.
"Yes Sammie?" she asked.
"Bella do you love me?" I asked. She smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Yes I do sweetie." She said. I snuggled up to her.
"Good because I love you too." I said. And we fell asleep.
November 12
Bellatrix
I woke up and felt slow and calm hot breaths on my neck. I knew it was Sammie by the colour of hair. Last night was horrible; it took an hour for me to wake her up from a nightmare. She stirred and opened her eyes, when she saw me she smiled.
"Morning Bella." She said. I smiled at my daughter; oh I wish I was mommy not Bella to her.
"Good morning Sweetie, we need to get dressed if we are going out to breakfast." He face lit up so fast I could have sworn she thought it was Christmas.
"Yay!" she cried but then went silent. "Bella, I don't have any nice clothes to wear." She said and started to cry. Stupid tears.
"Nothing a little magic can't fix." I say and she smiles. I use magic to fix her dress into a pretty black dress with pink sparkles but she makes a face.
"No pink." She says. "Green!" she cried. I like the way this girl thinks! Pink is a horrible colour! I changed the colour to green then took her to Narcissa and Lucius' room. I knocked.
"Come in Bella." She said and I walked in with Sammie. Narcissa looked at Sammie and her face lit up. "How's little Sammie?" she asked and walked over.
"Good." Said Sammie as she cuddled closer to me.
"Bella, do you want me to take care of her while you do get ready to go?" Cissy asked. I nodded and she took Sammie, she looked frightened. I looked her in the eyes.
"Sammie, this is Cissy and she will take care of you till I get back, I will only be a few minutes." I said. She nodded. I walked out of the room.
Samantha
I watched the blond people talk and drink tea, I never cared for tea. Then Cissy looked over.
"Sammie, what do you want to do?" she asked me. I was shocked. Nobody ever wanted to do what I wanted since I was four.
"Colour?" I asked. She smiled.
"You want to colour? Ok then lets colour." I nodded, and she pulled out some paper and felts. She set it down in front of me. A few minutes later the door opened and Bella walked in but I didn't notice because I was too happy colouring. She walked over and sat on the couch with Cissy.
"Are you sure that's safe?" she asked. I giggled but didn't turn around. Then I got an idea. I pulled a green felt out of the pile and opened it with a struggle. I put the felt down on my skin and it felt weird. When the guy walked out and looked at me he saw me drawing on myself.
"Girls I think you forgot she is four and need constant attention because she, like other four year olds draw on skin. Cissy and Bella stopped laughing and looked at me. I was paying attention I was having too much fun.
"Sammie," Bella called I looked over at her. "Come here." She said. I forgot what I was doing and crawled over. She picked me up and set me on her knee and bounced me. I giggled. Then she stopped.
"More!" I cried and looked at her. She pulled me back so I was leaning against her.
"Well do you want something to eat?" she asked I nodded. "Okay, all we have to do is clean the marker off you." She said and stood off with me and took us to the bathroom. She set me down on the counter and turned on the water, and then she put my hands under it and rubbed them with soap. Then she rinsed the soap off and dried my hands.
"Bella?" I asked. She looked at me. "Do I have to go back to the orphanage?" I asked.
"Only for a few days when I have to sign the papers saying that you will be my daughter." I smiled.
"Bella?" I asked again. She picked me up.
"Yes sweetie?" she asked me. I put my head on her shoulder.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too." She replied. She walked back into the other room and we all left to go eat.
Bellatrix
I want to go back to Wiltshire right know, with my daughter. And of course Cissy and Lucius. I put Sammie on my hip as we walked out of the café. Then I saw Cissy look at some muggle stores and I knew this was an idea of shopping, and Narcissa loves shopping.
"No." I say and we get into the cab. Sammie twirls a piece of my black curly hair on her finger. She looks like this will entertain her for a while. "Sammie." I say. She looks at me and puts her small hand on my cheek. I smile. "What do you want to do today?" I asked. She thinks.
"Play." She says.
"What do you want to play?"
"I don't know." she says. I laugh and we walk into the hotel. When we get up to the room I walk in, close the door, and lay Sammie down on the bed.
"Bella?" she asks.
"I'll be right back." I say and walk into the washroom. I grab an elastic and walk out. Sammie sits up and watches me. I sit down behind her and start brushing her hair.
Later around lunch was time for Sammie to have a nap. And this is something she put up a fight for.
"No, don't want a nap Bella." She said.
"Sammie you are having a nap." I say, she doesn't move.
"No." she says.
"Samantha you are having a nap." I say, and then she burst into tears. I ran over and knelt down to her height.
"Sammie, I'm sorry." I say. She sniffles and looks at me through tears. "Can you please have a nap for me, I will stay beside you." I say. She nods and I pick her up. We lay on the bed and she falls asleep fast. About half an hour later, she spoke in her sleep.
"Mommy," she said. My attention went right to her. "Stay mommy, please don't take me away please." She said. I felt bad. I shook her awake. She looked at me. "mommy." She said. I smiled.
"Right here baby, I'm not going anywhere don't worry." I say, she smiled and I lay on my side, she curls up next to me. Then falls asleep again.
Samantha
I quietly woke up, and saw Bella asleep next to me. I cuddle into her, and rest my head under her chin. She stirs a bit but I don't move. She strokes my hair and her nails lightly scratch my head but it feels good. I relax and close my eyes. She pulls me closer and hugs me. I feel safe. I kiss her neck and hug her.
