Chapter 7

Hey. Its me! So after looonnnggg consideration, I have decided the name for Delilah. I am really sorry for short chapters in the past. I am going to try my best to make them longer. So... Enjoy!


"Mr. and Mrs. Inkswell."

Delilah stood there, staring. Mrs. Inkswell was a short, plump (but not too plump) woman. She was middle-aged, about mid-30s, had short, curly, brown hair, and large blue eyes, which looked at Delilah, welcoming. Mr. Inkwell, however, was in his mid-40s and rather lean. He had straight blonde hair, green eyes, which showed the anxiety of meeting their new daughter.

Delilah took a few steps forward. "Hi, I'm Delilah. Nice to meet..."

Mrs. Inkswell grabbed her in a tight bear-hug. Delilah was startled. She felt something she had not felt in a long time, love, from real parents. Ones that will feed her, clothe her, protect her, and have fun with her. She hugged Mrs. Inkswell back, as if she would never let go.


Moments later, they were sitting in Flitwick's office, talking and getting to know each other. Mr. and Mrs. Inkswell asked about her life before Hogwarts, what quidditch teams she liked, games she played, grades (of course) and other miscellaneous personal things.

"How many friends do you have?" Mrs. Inkswell asked.

"Well, um... I have two. Lily is in Gryffindor and Severus is in Slytherin."

Mr. Inkswell shifted uncomfortably.

"Don't worry. He's really nice..." Delilah reassured. She felt awkward then, as she sensed Mr. Inkswell disapproved.

She looked outside and noticed it was getting dark. "Oh! It's almost dinner! Time flies, huh?" Delilah chucked, "It was really fun getting to meet you! I can't thank you enough!"

They both gave her good-bye hugs. "It's no problem. I look forward to seeing you when school ends." Mrs. Inkswell said.

"Stay safe, okay. Listen to your teachers and do your homework," Mr. Inkswell warned.

"Don't worry! I've managed to do that all this year. I think I can manage another couple of weeks,'' Delilah chuckled. "Bye!"

"Good-bye!" They bid her farewell as Delilah walked out of the room, waving, "We love you!" They called after her, after she exited the classroom.

Delilah froze in the hallway. Those simple three words meant so much to her. She could feel tears welling in her eyes. She waited for so long to hear them. She wiped away a tear as she began walking to the Great Hall, smiling.

How is her last name, Inkswell? Is it too cliché? But anyway, I can't think of anything to have them do for the 2nd through 4th years. The only eventful thing that happens during their school years is where Severus calls Lily a mudblood, so ideas PLEASE! Please R&R! Thanks. The next chapter should be here soon, hopefully (no promises).
