A/N: So my first chapter had some gross thoughts, sorry about that. It's pretty icky. But I need this background to create the basis of my story. I know the story title is about Teddy and he will show up soon, I promise!
Chapter 2: Birth and Abandonment
Nine months later. Nine long, painful months of fostering some thing in her womb. After all of the kicks, the screams, the torture, it will all be over soon.
Bellatrix has hidden from her Lord for months. She has been feeding lies to the Death Eaters.
"My Lord, Bellatrix has an awful case of Spattergroit. She refuses to leave her dark room," Yaxley had reported to Voldemort some months before.
The only person Bellatrix has been able to tell is her sister, Narcissa Malfoy. Bellatrix wouldn't dare let the Dark Lord discover this secret, she would take it to the grave if she needed.
Narcissa provided her with food, blankets, with anything Bellatrix needed. She had developed an immunity to Spattergroit as a child, so it was a small matter of informing the Dark Lord that she could take care of her sister.
Bellatrix was glad that she had a sister willing to comfort her, but she hadn't been able to tell Narcissa everything, especially not of that night in mid-June. She had to concoct some story of drinking too much Firewhisky and meeting some pureblood Auror. She pretended to not remember the name or any description of the Auror. She concluded with waking up in the morning and abandoning the man, she didn't want to be with anyone, aside from the Dark Lord. She left the last thought out of her false account of the child's conception, in order to prevent suspicion.
"Bellatrix, it's coming!" Narcissa practically fainted when the child was born. It was pale, as pale as the moon. Its eyes had the darkness of the ocean depths. It didn't start to cry, no it started to glare, as if everything in the world was deserving of hatred. The child, if it was indeed a child, had the stare of Medusa. Narcissa was paralyzed with fear and bewilderment. With whom did her sister get involved?
"Let me see it, Cissy!"
Narcissa held the baby in front of its mother. The mother and son stared into each others' eyes for a moment. Bellatrix was repulsed. How could she produce such a horrible child? She felt no affection, no love. The baby reciprocated those feelings one hundred percent. Looking at its mother was not a pleasant sight.
"Narcissa, we must rid ourselves of such a burden. I have no intention of keeping this child. But I refuse to kill a baby, unless it's a filthy Mudblood or Muggle, unfortunately this isn't either," she stated without the slightest hint of emotion for her son.
"Of course, sister," Narcissa was not at all surprised her sister didn't want the child. What self-respecting mother would?
"In the morning you will take it to St. Mungo's. Cast an Invisibility Charm around yourself and the baby and leave it somewhere that a Warlock will be sure to find. And most importantly, be sure not to be seen. We do not want any connection with this monstrosity."
