Prologue: Life and Death

The baby wailed as she entered the world. Her distressed cry added to the chaos and nervousness around her. The doctor abruptly handed her off to an old man whose moon spectacles reflected the were light. The old man looked at her with love in his eyes and sadness crinkling his face, his long silver beard tickling the top of her tiny, blonde haired, head. Her mother was dead, had been dead before she was even born. The killing curse hadn't given her a chance at life. It stole away one of life's most precious things, a mother's love. The baby girl wailed as the old man continued to hold her, safely in his arms.
"She didn't survive." The old man's voice was flat with grief. The doctor and the two others looked at him in concern.

"O' course she didn't survive, Albus. It twas thee killin' curse." The doctor replied slowly and cautiously. Albus looked to the doctor and then to the two others in the room in turn.

"Not her mother. Of course, Delilah is dead..." Tears welled up in the old mans eyes as he spoke the words. However, he continued to speak. "I meant her daughter. She shall be buried with her mother. We will tell everyone that they both perished." Albus finished. His three companions looked confused and concerned at his words.

"Albus, do ya mean to say yir going to bury the child with her mother?" The doctor inquired in a low, but shocked voice. Albus threw a glare at the man.

"No! You idiot." Albus paused, sighing heavily. "I'm sorry. How could you even think that? No, You will tell everyone that she died and that we buried her in her mother's arms. Understood?" Albus demanded. The doctor and two others nodded their heads in understanding and Albus turned and left them, taking the still crying baby girl with him.

~~~~Later that night~~~~

The doctor carefully prepared Delilah for burial. His wand moving delicately through the air, commanding the white silk that would cradle and protect her in death.

"Ya poor gel. Don't even get to hold yir lovely babe within yir arms. Albus will not let yir death go unpunished though, I can assure that at least." The doctor softly spoke to the pale young woman within the cocoon of silk. Glistening tears slid down his wrinkled, freckled face reflecting the moon light from the window. "How coulda person do such a thang to thur own fleesh n blood?

~~~~a few days later~~~~

As the last visitors filed slowly away from the grave, only one remained behind. Albus, cloaked in mourning black with tears streaming down his cheeks, still stared down at the grave. It read:

Delilah Ann Rookwood

Born: January 15, 1951

Died: June 6, 1978

Death doth embrace both you and your daughter, within your arms.

Baby Girl Born dead: June 6, 1978

Albus apparated home to find the baby girl wailing again.

"Shhh, my dear. It'll all be alright, It'll all be alright." He coaxed. His hand gently caressed her tiny cheek. The baby quieted almost instantly. The infant looked up at him intensely, her blue eyes held intelligence greater than they should have. "Whatever shall I name you?" He mostly pondered to himself, though the question sounded directed at the babe. The girl smiled at him, her eyes twinkled with mischief and suddenly she disappeared. Albus gasped and a few seconds went by before she suddenly reappeared, in the same spot. She let out a giggle. "Death has woven something special in you my dear..." Albus mused before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. She yawned widely and drifted to sleep.

As Albus left her room, turning out the lights with his deluminator, he stared back at the precious sleeping baby.

"Oh, my dear Delilah, such a beautiful wonder you have left me with." He whispered.
