Daughter of Dark
Disclaimer: I only own Serena and the plot!
Chapter Five
Serena was understandably pissed off. She didn't want to be at Hogwarts but she didn't want to be living with Snape either. But what choice did she have? It was Snape's fault that she was there in the first place. Foul, lying, slimy, greasy-haired, overgrown bat-like creature that he was! God damn him to hell for getting her stuck there! Him and her scheming mother. It was her idea to send her here in the first place for whatever stupid reason she had!
And Dumbledore believed that she was in danger! Damn, if someone was in danger it would be him and all the other muggle-loving fools! Serena was danger!
Daughter of the dark, indeed she was…
September came and the castle was suddenly over run with people. Muggleborns, half bloods and a precious few pure bloods. Serena didn't want anything to do with any of them. But who would? They knew nothing about anything, all of them. Besides, even those who claimed to be tight with the dark side had no clue what the dark side was. So how could Serena talk to any of them? And who would want to talk with Voldemort's daughter anyways?
Not that Serena went by her full name. As soon as she had found out that Dumbledore knew her name, she had dropped the Riddle and stuck with Serena Black. But the name Black didn't have the same impression as it used to. And that was all because of the blood traitor, Sirius Black.
Soon after everyone arrived, it was time for the sorting. Serena was to be sorted along with the first years. She would have preferred being sorted earlier but Dumbledore simply refused to let her. So she had to wait.
And wait. Serena was the last person on the list, due to be sorted after all the first years were done. Luckily, everyone was half-asleep by then and could have cared less about the black haired girl that was clearly older than the first years. Finally it was Serena's turn.
"Serena Black!" called Professor McGonagall and everyone suddenly perked up at the mention of the word 'Black'.
Serena strode up to the stool and sat down while Professor McGonagall put the hat on her head. Instantly, she heard a voice in her ear.
"I see the Slytherin in you already… It is strong, very strong, but I sense something else, something stronger…" whispered the hat.
"And what the hell might that be?" replied Serena
"That is for you to find out, Miss Riddle…"
"What?"
"GRYFFINDOR!" called the hat out to the hall.
Serena almost collapsed when she heard the hat call out Gryffindor. There was no way possible that she could be a Gryffindor! That was utterly ridiculous! And everyone at the Gryffindor table was staring at her in shock. Serena swore and angrily walked over to the table and sat down in the only available seat. And it was next to the last people in the world that Serena wanted to be around. The trio.
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley could all feel the evil coming from Serena. And when the sorting hat called out Gryffindor, they were all shocked. They had all been sure she'd end up being a Slytherin. But she hadn't. How was that possible?
"Harry?" asked Hermione when she saw Harry grab his scar as Serena Black sat down next to them.
"What?" he snapped back, in a mood.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Sorry for asking," muttered Hermione as she turned to face the new girl. She put a smile on her face and spoke to her. "Hello, my name is…"
"Mudblood," was all that Serena said, showing that she knew who Hermione was.
"What the bloody hell did you just call her that for?" asked Ron, angrily jumping to Hermione's defense.
"Blood traitor!" she said to Ron, shooting him a death glare.
Everyone at the Gryffindor table turned to look at Serena. She had just insulted two of the most well known people in all of Hogwarts and also their own House mates. And she didn't seem to care what she had just said. And then, she got up and walked out, leaving the table and the Great Hall behind.
Serena wasn't about to be caught dead around the Gryffindors. So she just got up and left. And as soon as she walked out of the Hall, an owl dropped a letter at her feet. Serena bent down and picked it up, staring at it a moment before she opened it. Inside was a letter from Bellatrix.
My Dearest Daughter Serena,
The Dark Lord wishes that you be-friend Potter and his friends. I understand that this might be hard for you so make them believe that you have changed sides. I don't care how you do it, but it needs to be done. By the end of the school year, you will deliver Potter and his friends to our hands. We need to destroy them and we need your help to do so.
Then, my daughter, you shall join us in defeating them. Hopefully once we rid the world of them, the Order will fail. Without Potter, they stand no chance against us. The Dark Lord shall then reign and you will join me at his side. Do not disappoint me, Serena. More orders will follow.
Bellatrix Black Lestrange
Serena sneered after she finished the letter. Then she blew it up with her wand.
"Of course I will not disappoint you, mother," said Serena, an evil smile upon her face.
Author's Notes:
Serena isn't really as evil as she seems, it's just the influence of Snape. And today is a double post!
