Ok no one get too confused! Bella is the daughter of Bellatrix LeStrange. Lily is Harry's sister. Ginny is Draco's sister. James Snape and James Black are both adopted! Stick with me on this story because gets really good later!
"The child will live with," The courtroom was silent. It was the verdict the whole room had been waiting for. Would the child of Bellatrix LeStrange and Rodolphus LeStrange go to Narcissa Malfoy who the parents preferred. She had the money. Her husband had the influence but Lucius was potentially involved in Death Eating activity. Or would two year old Bella go to live with her mother's other sister Andromeda Tonks?
"Narcissa Malfoy will hold full guardianship of Bellatrix Halle LeStrange,"
"BELLA!" I hear Ginny's voice screech across the hall, "Bella! It's Hogwarts! Today!"
Hogwarts. Finally, I can get out of this mess I call "home". I stumble out of bed and attempt to put a brush in my mat. After making myself somewhat presentable II walk down stairs and sit in the center of the table.
"Now before you go, we need to discuss some guidelines," My uncle begins his lecture. I can only imagine how long this is going to take. "I expect absolutely perfect behavior. Everything you do and say will come back on me and the rest of this family." With this he looks at Ginny. He expects perfection out of his little angel, and let me tell you she's very close to achieving it.
"I expect no teachers will contact me regarding behavior, grades, or anything else, Bella," I bite my lip. I already have a bad reputation Snape. When my Uncle gets really really mad at me, he sends me up to the school to help Snape clean this or wash that. "If either of you break my expectations there will be consequences. Understood?"
"Yes sir," Ginny says absorbing each word that comes out of her father's mouth. I simply nod only half listening and not caring.
"Bella come here," He beckons me over to the study. I roll my eyes. What special rules do I have to follow this time?
"Under no circumstances, Bella, are you allowed to become friends with a girl with the last name Potter," That's stupid. I don't know any Potter's.
"Why?" I question.
"What have I said about questioning the rules? You do not have to know why they are in place, young lady, you simply have to follow them,"
"Not in politics," I retort. "This isn't politics! This is my house! Now stop back talking before I get angry!"
"I will take you both to the train station, now," My Aunt comes bounding in the room. "Tell Draco and your father good-bye! "She smiles at Ginny. I stand awkwardly as Ginny hugs her father. It's like when you go to your friend's house and everyone is having a moment and you are just there.
"Bella, not one toe of line... Not one toe!" Lucius glared down at her.
"I get it!" I spit back.
"Watch your tone, young lady. You sound extraordinarily like your mother when you talk like that. You look enough like her. Don't act like her, too,"
"Lucius..."
"Miss you too," I glare slamming the front door as I leave the house not to return for an eternity.
