Children Return and Letter from Daddy
As I looked into the mirror I silently scolded myself to calm down. Today was the first day of school. And the first time I meet my students. I had on normal black robes on with a heavy black scarf around my face covering my nose and lips down. My green eyes glistened out from the black martial that I wore. My hair was tied back into a tight braid with my bangs framing my face.
I looked at myself and nodded. I looked good but not to good. I looked as good as it was going to get. I did not know why I was so nervous on meeting these kids. But I still could not help but fidget all the way down to the Great Hall.
Just when I was about to walk in the hall I could hear the voices of all the students that were there. I knew the moment I walked in they would stare at me. I knew also that I was bit late and that the new students were about too get there. So I had to hurry and get to my seat.
I squared my shoulders, held my head high, and took a deep breath then pushed the doors open. I quickly walked into the room my robes bellowing behind my like a pair of wings.
The moment I stepped into the room it went silent. Every pair of eyes turned to me and watched me as I made my way to the Head Table. Quickly I took my seat next to Snape and Poppy. When I sat down I glared at all of those who were staring at me.
Quickly all the eyes went looking in other directions. The only people who were now looking at me were Harry and Draco. They both had smiles on their faces.
During the rest of the summer both boys seemed to have gotten over their past revelry and became quick friends. Of course they had to hide the friendship but still they were great friends. But at the ways they looked at each other when they thought that no one was looking made me think they wanted to be more than just friends. And Hermione and I were already thinking of a way to get the two shy boys together.
Dumbledore's voice broke my train of thought when he began to speak.
"Welcome students to other year at Hogwarts..." and his speech went on about the new rules and such. I almost dozed off. But Snape kicked me from under the table to wake me up when Dumbledore started to introduce me.
"And this year I am glad to introduce our new Defense of Dark Arts teacher. Her name is Professor Delvasa" he said the nodded for me to stand. So I stood and glared at the students. I knew I looked imposing and that was the point. I wanted them to know that this year was not going to be a walk in the park.
With my father being back they had to be ready for the war that was so close. The only people clapping were Harry and his friends, along with the teaching staff. I quickly sat down and my glare did not waver.
Dumbledore quickly finished his speech with some ridicules line with something about tucking in. But I was not paying attention. My eyes were on the black shape flying to the table. And by the scent in the air it was Shadow.
I knew that he had the letter from my father. I knew that the letter was coming soon; I had been dreading on it the whole end of the summer. My father had a wonderful way of carrying cruses in his letters. I could not even think of what cruse he had sent me.
When Shadow was almost to the table I could tell that all eyes were on him. I tensed when he landed on my shoulder and changed into a black snake the slithered around my neck as if the hug me.
"Are you alright?" I asked him in Parsletounge as I stare at my letter in front of me. The sickly scent of blood and dark magic coming from the letter. "The best I can be from seeing your father", he said with sarcasm. I nodded as I reached for the letter.
Just when I was about to open it a strong hand clasped mine. I turned to see Snape shacking his head and turned his head to the door. He was right I should not open the letter here. The cruse that was on it could hurt the children.
Quickly I stood from the table not even asking to leave. Both Snape and I left the Great Hall in a near running pace. As walked we threw the hallways to my room Shadow and Snape stayed oddly silent the whole way.
By the time I made it to my room I was shacking in fear. I stuttered the passwords and we walked in. When the door was firmly closed I pulled the letter out of my robe.
With a glance at Snape I opened it. The letter was written in blood and by the scent I knew whom it belonged to. I silently petted Shadow. I did not dare ask him how my father got his blood. He would be too proud to answer.
Just when I was about to read the letter I felt the cruse surge threw my veins. It was the Crucio. I shivered in pain not letting a scream fall from my lips. My vision blurred with unshed tears of pain as I fell to my knees. And I could not stop the pain. Finally when it felt like hours of enduring pain it stopped.
With a sigh I slowly tried to stand and I tripped. Again I found myself in Snape's arms as he led me to the sofa. When he sure that I was all right he sat in the chair across from.
When he sat down I looked at the letter and all it said was:
"Never Order Me. Now your punishment is to take your mask off. You are no longer aloud to wear it. You will me unmasked at a death eater meeting soon.
Love, Daddy"
I re-read the letter five times before I crushed it into a ball and threw into the fire. "The Bloody Bastard" I screamed as I felt tears stream down my face. I knew that in about an hour that he will call a Death Eater meeting to officially have me take my mask off.
I could not help but feel helpless. I have not seen my face in so many years that I did not know what I looked like. I knew I had to be hideous for my father to ask my to hide my face. How could he ask this of me?
I know what would happen as well. Snape would recoil away from me in disgust at my face. Why would he want to love a hideous demon? This is probably the last night he will ever talk to me. I looked over at him in the corner of my eye.
He was staring at the fire allowing me to cry without him seeing me. He knew that I was a proud person and that I would hate it for anyone to see my cry. Sighing I looked over at the man I could never have. As I was looking at Snape, Shadow came over and slithered around my neck.
I could not help but smile at his kindness. He usually never did such things. I must have looked very upset. Stroking my cheek against his scales I stood.
"Snape" I said trying to get his attention. He turned to me with a blank look on his face as if we were just about to have some tea. Which now that I think about it would be nice. "Would you like some tea?" I ask him as I start to bring some over to us.
He blinked first and nodded with a slight smile across his lips. His eyes began to look around the room as I had some tea made for him. As I looked at him I realized that it was the first time he has ever been in my rooms.
I smiled at the thought of this not being the last time either. Then I quickly stopped such thinking he would never want anything to do with me after this night. So I was going to spend as much time with him as I could.
When we both had cups of tea in our hands I turned and stared at him. I did not stop looking at him until my look made him start to wiggle. I smirked at this. Holding my tea up to my neck I allowed Shadow some of it.
When the silence was more than any of us could stand he spoke "So what was the letter about?" he asked as I looked at the fire.
I sighed I knew he was going to ask. But that still did not mean I wanted to tell him. "My father wants to teach me a lesson. So I am to remove my mask in front of the death eaters," I said with my voice blank.
His eyes widen in surprise. Before he was could say anything else the dark marks on our forearms began to burn. I turned sad eyes to him and stood. "Lets get this over with," I said and I made for the door.
(Well that's for that chapter. I know that is a cliffy. (Evil laugh) I just could not help it. Also sorry I know I misspelled some words. Please forgive me (Puppy dog eyes) You will find out next chapter what will happen. It will be in Snape POV and Delvasa POV. I know you will want to know what Snape is thinking when he finally sees Delvasa face. But will he truly still want to know her when he sees her face and then finds the whole truth about her? Well will find out. So write me and tell what you want to happen. Well please review. And also please no flames. P.S. I do not own Harry Potter. All I own is Delvasa. If I did own Harry Potter I would be rich. But sadly I am not and I am just a poor, broke Puerto Rican Chica (sadly sighs)
