Daughter of the Dark
Disclaimer: I only own Serena and the plot!
Chapter Four
Serena was furious with Bellatrix. What the bloody hell did Bellatrix think she was doing, sending her to Hogwarts? Bellatrix hated Hogwarts, as did Snape. They could never stop complaining about it! Why on earth would she want to send her there? Unless Bellatrix had some thing sinister in mind. That would be the only reason.
Serena headed back up towards her room but was stopped by Snape. The slimy overgrown greasy bat had grabbed her by her wand arm and pointed his wand at her throat. And he didn't look happy.
"You are going to Hogwarts you brat! So don't even think about trying to get out of it! Cause you are going!"
"I never said I wasn't, asshole!"
"Don't you dare use that tone with me!"
"What tone?"
"That one!"
"Shut the hell up, Snape!"
"How dare you speak like that to me? How dare you!" cried Snape as he grabbed Serena by her shoulders and shook her.
"Stop it!" cried Serena as she began to lose her balance.
"How dare you!"
Snape shook her harder and Serena slipped on the edge of her robe and fell backward. Snape released her and Serena screamed. Serena fell down all the steps before landing at the bottom. She lay unmoving there, eyes closed, blood dripping from a tiny cut on her forehead.
"Good riddance!" cried Snape as he swooped away to his dungeon.
Serena felt dizzy. Everything was spinning. She tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt so heavy. And Serena was sooo tired. Maybe opening her eyes wasn't such a good idea. Sleep sounded really good, yes sleep. Sleep was good…
"Serena… Wake up…" called a voice.
"Go away Snape! You slimy piece of shit!" yelled Serena, ticked off.
"Serena…" called the voice again, soft and reasuring.
"Go away!"
"Serena Lestrange!" the voice exclaimed, without showing angry.
"What the bloody hell do you want?"
"Serena, I wish to speak to you."
"And who the hell are you?" asked Serena.
"Albus Dumbledore."
"What the hell do you want?"
"Serena, you were hurt. We found you at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Snape was the one who told us."
"Snape's a bloody asshole."
"Serena, what happened to you?"
"Like you really care?"
"What?" asked Dumbledore, shocked.
"You don't give a damn about us purebloods. Everyone knows that all you care about are the mudbloods and the blood traitors," Serena said, disgusted.
"Who told you that?"
"Who the hell do you think?"
"I do care Serena."
"Go to hell and leave me alone!"
"Serena! What's wrong with you!" Dumbledore asked, concerned by Serena's behavior.
"I'm the daughter of two people who because of your Order are in prison. You could care less about me and the others like me. So just get the hell away from me."
"I can't do that."
"Why the hell not!"
"You are now at Hogwarts, Miss Lestrange. So…"
"Why the hell am I here?"
"For your safety. Bellatrix Lestrange has escaped from prison along with several others."
"And that means what?"
"She escaped a while back but only recently has Snape brought you to my attention. And after your fall, it seems like a good idea to keep you here."
"I didn't bloody fall down!" cried Serena.
"Something made you slip without a reason. Snape believes that it was magic."
"Snape's a slimy bastard."
"Watch your mouth Serena."
"Why the hell should I?"
"You never know who might be listening."
"And I care why?" Serena asked sarcasticly.
"I never said you had to care but, even the walls have ears."
"Ha ha, very funny. Besides, Snape was the reason for my fall. He was pissed at me and caught me on the stairs. He shook me and I slipped and fell down. That's all that I remember."
"You need protection Serena. Your life is in danger."
"Why the hell would it be in danger?"
"Bellatrix Lestrange is serving Voldemort and he is certain that you are a traitor. And he wants you taken care of."
"Why the hell does he think that?"
"A prophecy foretold of two who would bring forth the fall of Voldemort. One is the daughter of the dark, which is believed to be you. And other is already being hunted by Voldemort."
"What makes you think that I'm the daughter of the dark?"
"You are the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and the Dark Lord Voldemort. You know this. And that would make you the daughter of the dark."
"How did you know?" Serena asked, surprised and worried at the same time.
"Snape told me."
"He's a…" Serena began to say.
"Serena," Dumbledore cut her off with a warning tone.
Serena scowled at him but closed her mouth.
"Anyways, your name is not Serena Lestrange. It is Serena Black Riddle."
"Is that supposed to be a joke?"
"Your name?"
"Duh, asshole!"
"It's not a joke. And by the way, welcome to Hogwarts," said Dumbledore with a smile as he got up and left the hospital wing where Serena was currently staying.
"God damn it all to hell!" cursed Serena once Dumbledore was out of earshot.
