"Azrael is that you dear?" Voldemort called as he walked down the stairs, my father was dressed in good robes, that means that a Death Eater meeting was about to happen. "Good, your back. We have a meeting to go to come, you look good enough." Voldemort said, he placed his arm around my back and walked my into the large meeting hall.
"Welcome everyone, you all know my daughter" Voldemort asked everyone who nodded and agreed with him "Good, good. Our first order of Business is that we have to get Fudge to resign. I have one of our own In the Perfect position to take over the ministry after he resigns. Lucius I want you to convince him to start thinking about it. Azrael has gotten herself into the Order of the phoenix just like our dear old Severus Snape."
"Excuse me father, but I haven't done anything. Dumbledore asked me to join, next year" I said unenthusiastically putting exaggeration on the word next.
"That is as good as being in the Order Azrael" Severus said calmly to me, he was the only one besides Lucius and Barty allowed to talk directly to me; It was a sign of complete trust to be able to even look at me. I nodded my head to Severus.
"Perfect, Azrael you also must get a job at the ministry after you finish school. Now you may go, you have a birthday party to get to after all" My father said he looked extremely excited about this party.
"Whose?" I ask cautiously I couldn't remember being invited to anyone's birthday party.
"Yours you silly girl" Said my father he chuckled happily at my stupidity, of course George was throwing an impromptu birthday party. The Death eaters around the room shifted uncomfortably at their Lord Voldemort's genuine laughter. "Go you wouldn't want to be late to your boyfriend's party" I'd completely forgotten that the Weasleys were throwing a party for me. I looked at my watch and saw that two hours had indeed passed. I was going to be late! I ran out of the meeting and headed up to my bedroom. I threw in a pair of Pyjamas and anything I needed for Hogwarts since the train to go back was tomorrow morning. I carried my large trunk out of my room and ran down the stairs. I couldn't see where I was going so just my luck I tripped over a stray mouse that stood on the stairs. It was probably part of Nagini's meal.
"Nagini!" I yelled in parseltongue. The large snake roamed up the stairs towards me, I had managed to kill the mouse when I tripped over it "you let the mouse roam free! I need to go, but get rid of it!" I said again in parseltongue. I stood up and ran my luggage down the stairs and outside the house. I apperated with a soft pop and was almost instantly at Sirius' house standing in the entrance way. The hall was decorated in beautiful balloons; it looks like they went all out.
"Hello!?" I called to the seemingly empty house "Kreacher? George?" I called, the short grumpy house elf appeared and grabbed my bag, as quickly as he came he was gone.
"Hello love, fancy seeing you here" George said coming down the stairs with his signature smirk
"Yeah totally... hey you cut your hair" I said pouting I loved his long hair, but I must admit his short red hair reminded me of a campfire, I could get used to it.
"Yeah mum made Fred and I cut it, come on let's get something to eat" George said, I kissed George slowly, steadily. We had all the time in the world, behind this kiss was the key to eternity. I must admit, Eternity with George did not sound like a bad thing, I loved him and he loved me. We broke away from each other and walked into the open dining room and kitchen.
"Surprise!" Everyone yelled this was sweet of them, I still felt sad about my sister but I could learn to forgive and forget when I spent my birthdays with friends. We had cake relatively early and It was very good. I had just a simple black forest cake with happy birthday written on top. I danced with George and we kissed, everyone laughed at me multiple times when I fell over while I tried to dance after having a few Fire whiskeys with George.
"Alright love birds; off to bed you're going back to Hogwarts tomorrow. Not in the same bed though!" Molly screamed after us as we giggled and ran up the stairs. I was drunk and I knew it, even if George refused to accept it. I took him to his room and kissed his forehead
"Goodnight George. I'll see you in the morning" I say, George pouted and put his arms round me he kissed me urgently as if, if he let go I would disappear into thin air. I pulled myself away from drunken George and kissed his fore head again. "Goodnight" I whispered and then left to go sleep in Hermione and Ginny's room. It was a good night but now I'm tired. I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
The train to Hogwarts has been mostly uneventful, except I was asleep half the time because I had a nasty hangover from my party. Harry had a nightmare though, that was about it. It was the same old speech Dumbledore always gave when a new year started except this time he introduced a member of the Ministry of Magic as our new defence against the dark arts teacher, Professor Umbridge.
"Great our first class is with her" George said to me after the speeches were over
"Haha we don't have her until second" Ron said gloating I looked at our 7th year timetables and realised that Gryffindor's don't have class until third
"We don't have class until third Ronikins" Fred said making fun of Ron. I ignored everything and went back up to the dorm; I decided I wanted to sleep. George was walking with me and the Common room was full of 7th and 6th years, most of us were talking about our vacations. I felt the Familiar tug of a prophecy
"George... George I'm having a prophecy." I say starting to panic all of a sudden I could see anything it was black as if I was suddenly blind.
"Someone go get Dumbledore! Or at least Professor McGonagall" George yelled over the top of all of the chatter; I could feel every one's eyes on me wondering what was going on, all I could do was grip Georges shirt and try to hold off the Prophecy until a teacher got here.
"What's going on Mr Weasley?" Said a voice I recognise as professor McGonagall's.
"She's having a prophecy!" George said his voice practically dripping with concern. With a sharp intake of breath I felt the prophecy start; my body fell limply into George's arms, I relied on him to hold me up
"Blood Quill torture the students of the prestigious school,
The half-horse outrage takes the woman in pink,
The Army formes to protect the students
The Red haired father attacked in the ministry... he's back"
When the prophecy is done I regained my sight quickly and blinked away the cloudy tears that had formed in my eyes. I could see that George and Professor McGonagall had moved me to McGonagall's office. I looked around the room to see that McGonagall was writing down everything I said. George was leaning over me with a worried expression; he seems to always be worried about me. I sit up and kiss him; I look at my wrist watch to see that we were about to be late to Defence Against the Dark Arts and I did not want to open that can of worms.
"Good bye Professor McGonagall, George and I are going to be late to Professor Umbridge's class" I say. I stand up and grab Georges hand; George and I run as fast as we could to Umbridge's classroom. We got into the classroom to find that Professor Umbridge wasn't there yet.
"Hey guys, you too look puffed" Fred smiled at us, we walked over to where he was sitting and placed our books down, I sat in between the twins. The thee of us and the rest of the class sat and waited for professor Umbridge to enter class, when she finally did we were all talking and relaxed.
"I am here and we may now start the lesson" Umbridge said with a smile plastered over her face. "I am truly sorry I am late I had to serve a detention to a 5th year." Umbridge said still smiling a sickeningly sweet smile, she started to call the roll and It wasn't long until she got to me.
"Azrael... Riddle?" Mrs Umbridge said looking up her fake smile faltering for a second; It was weird that she was calling the roll no one ever has from memory.
"Yes Professor Umbridge, I'm here" I say raising my arm so that she could mark of my name
"Who is your father dear?" she asked... Is she daft?
"Tom Riddle ma'am, The Dark Lord" I say I've given up on being secretive about it; everyone in the class was giggling because Mrs Umbridge couldn't comprehend that.
"Perfect Dear, a child in my class from 5th year has said that your father is back..."
"He is ma'am. My father and I had breakfast together just a few days ago" I say calmly. Professor Umbridge spun around with a concerned smile, she was angry, I could tell
"Detention Miss Riddle... I will not tolerate lies. You will serve your detention after my class is done." Professor Umbridge said with a small outburst George looked like he was about to kill her but I gave him a small smile and he calmed down. George looked at me sadly. The class was done quickly and I walked out into the halls to head to the dungeons to serve my detention.
"Are you sure you're okay? I can walk you there if you want?" George asked me, I leant against the wall with George leaning over me.
"I..." I started but I was interrupted by Umbridge clearing her throat loudly behind me. George moved away from me and we both looked at Umbridge.
"Azrael, you will be serving your detention in my office. Please come back in here with me" Said Professor Umbridge In a sickeningly sweet voice, I waved goodbye to George and walked briskly after Professor Umbridge. Her office was very, very pink, enchanted cat plates lined the walls.
"Sit down dear, you're writing lines" Umbridge says gesturing to the chair pulled up next to her desk. I sat down and started to take my quill out of my bag when Professor Umbridge gently put her hand on top of mine to stop me
"No, no dear. Use my quill. Write I must not tell lies, as many times as it takes for it to sink in." Professor Umbridge says handing me a quill. I know these quills. Their used by the ministry for torture! Fine let's dance. My father trained me against the use of these quills, The Quill writes all over your body until you stop writing and give up on the pain. I start to write and immediately feel the pain on my hand but I ignore it and keep writing. I mustn't give into the pain the quill causes. I feel the pain spreading around my body faster and faster until it reaches my neck, this is the hardest place to ignore; The quill makes it feel like it might cut to deep and kill you, but I know that's not how it works. I keep writing feeling the pain of the words being seared into my skin move around my neck and the pain is soon over before It reaches my face, this part freaks me out. I keep writing until it's filled up the entire left side of my face and then when the quill had finally stopped running across my skin I continued to write on the page until it was full, both sides of the parchment were completely full, I could feel hot, wet, sticky, bright red blood trickling down my face. Let Dumbledore Ignore this.
"Professor Umbridge, I ran out of room on the parchment you gave me" I say I try to act as if I didn't notice the pain at all
"That's not possible dear, everyone gives up befo... You little brat!" Umbridge cries out when she sees my entire body is covered in the cuts from the enchanted Quill. "Fine, that's all you've served your detention." Professor Umbridge says begrudgingly. I stand up nod my head and walk out, I feel a little woozy from blood loss but I have to get to Dumbledore, or at least Professor McGonagall. I walked as quickly as I could before I bumped into someone; I kept my head down and tried not to cry.
"Azrael?" asked the person I bumped into, it was Severus.
"Severus... I need to see Dumbledore... or McGonagall." I say still looking down at the ground, Severus would be furious.
"That won't be possible; the Headmaster is out right now. Azrael, look at me" Severus said, I was getting mad now. I looked up at Severus; the blood stained blonde locks that were once covering my face were now rolled to the side stuck to my cheeks. "Azrael, what happened? Are you okay? We're going to the headmaster this instance!" Severus said, he was getting very mad now I could see it in his eyes. I was getting even dizzier now, barley able to stand up. Severus grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hall to Dumbledore's office, the pain in my arm was so great my vision blurred and I started to fall. Severus caught me and we sat on the floor together while I tried to refocus myself it didn't work very well. Soon enough everything was black and I could only faintly hear Snape calling my name and begging me to hold on. I felt Severus pick me up and run where to I wasn't sure but I do know that after a while I just blacked out and then... nothing.
