Okay not sure what sort of AN… my timeline is really goofy, I don't hold constant so the chapters are really parts or arcs… It'll be noted when you read the beginning of the chapter, if a week or month or so has been skipped…. Really, who wants to read what happens every single day? Besides, important things don't happen every single damn day. At least in my life.
I don't own Harry Potter or any character belonging in the canon (OOTP spoilers kids!); J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. And a bunch of other people hold that claim, and I don't think they're going to give them to me any time soon. Original characters and OOC ness is allll me. ;)
Prologue
Belldani Cirasada, age two, was being carried back to her nursery by Nana, her nursemaid, when it happened.
A scream rose from the downstairs parlor, the room where her big brother, Judas, had been laying for two and a half weeks now. It was some incurable disease - a Muggle virus, perhaps, but eight-year-old Judas was stricken with it, and no cure the family Healer could think of worked.
Belldani didn't know this of course, all she saw were the other servants rushing to the fancy doors with their magically designed glass plates, the fairies on them continually danced, making them a great amusement for the toddler. Nana held Belldani closer and rushed her to the nursery, depositing the now squalling girl in her crib.
"Hush love… here's Baa, now be a duck and hush…" Baa, Belldani's beloved stuffed frog, was placed beside her as the nurse left the room.
Judas Cirasada passed on that night, despite the best efforts of his grief-stricken parents, Marcus and Magdalena Cirasada. The official cause of death was listed as pneumonia - a Muggle infection of the lungs, which the best Healers money could buy were unable to cure. The Cirasadas, in mourning of their loss, turned to Marcus' cousin for help… help, which Lucius Malfoy was delighted to give.
