"Happy Birthday, little cousin," Bellatrix told me with a sneer.
"Thank you," I answered.
"Did you get your letter?"
"Yep." I replied proudly.
"Going soon enough then?" she asked. I nodded.
"Which house?"
"Slytherin," I answered confidently.
"Good," she smiled at me. "That's the best house."
"I know."
"And stay away from who?" she quizzed.
"Gryffindors."
"Good!"
I smiled again. She suddenly grabbed my throat.
"But don't you dare embarrass me," she growled at me. I stared back, starting to choke. "Got it?"
I nodded furiously, gasping. She let go.
"See you soon then, little cousin."
She walked away, laughing.
Somehow, I can imagine Bellatrix doing this...
