Chapter 10

Alya was sitting on the floor of their house with her parents.

She was laughing when the door to their home blew open.

Alya's parents stood and brought out there wands as Alya went to hide behind a couch.

She heard someone laughing like a maniac.

Alya smiled as Bellatrix walked through the door.

"Bellatrix?" her mother said.

"Auntie Bella!" Alya cried before running over to Bellatrix.

"Alya no!" her father yelled.

Bellatrix drew out a long silver knife and slashed Alya across her stomach with it.

Alya screamed and went to her knees.

Bellatrix turned to her parents and raised her wand. "Avada Kedavra."

"Mummy, Daddy!" Alya yelled as her parents dropped dead as they were hit by the spell.

Alya looked to Bellatrix and started crying.

Bellatrix turned to her and grabbed her by her hair.

Alya screamed in pain.

"Shut up you little wretch!" Bellatrix said as she pulled at her hair tighter.

Alya started crying again.

"Stop crying. You're annoying me. I might as well kill you as well." She raised her wand towards Alya.

Alya's eyes went wide as she looked at Bellatrix's wand.

"Auntie Bella no."

"Shut up!"

"Expelliarmus!" came a voice.

Bellatrix's wand went flying out from her hand and landed on the ground.

Bellatrix whirled around to see Sirius Black standing behind her.

"Get away from her!" Sirius said.

Bellatrix grinned. "Well, well. Sirius Black."

"I said get away from my niece."

Bellatrix realised Alya who landed on the ground.

Bellatrix smiled. "Disapparate."

Bellatrix vanished.

Sirius turned to Alya and kneeled down beside her who was still crying.

"Hey it's alright. I'm here now."

"Uncle Sirius." Alya said as she hugged Sirius tightly.

"Let me take a look at that wound." He lifted her shirt up and pointed his wand at her stomach. "Tergeo." The blood slowly began to vanish. "Vulnera Sanentur." Her wound slowly turned into a dark scar across her stomach.

Alya wiped away her tears. "Thank you Uncle Sirius but what about my parents?"

Sirius sighed. "We can't do anything for them now."

Alya started crying again.

"Hey don't cry. I promise that I will protect you for now on."

'I swear that I'm going to hunt her down and make her pay for this.'

Alya woke to Celeste shaking her.

"What?"

"You've been tossing and groaning in your sleep. Are you alright?"

Alya looked at Celeste and started crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"I had a dream. It was a memory of when I saw my parents get murdered by Bellatrix."

Celeste's eyes widened.

She leaned over Alya and hugged her. "That was all in the past Alya. It's not going to happen again."

Alya sighed. "I feel like it's going to happen all over again. I have this weird feeling that someone is going to die soon."

"Trust me Alya. No one is going to die. You have my word."

Alya smiled slightly. "Thank you Celeste. Can you keep this from Harry? I don't want him to know about my past."

Celeste nodded. "I will."
