Virginia stepped back in shock as she walked towards her Mother in Azkaban. She sat oposite her , her face blank.

" Mother?"

" What do you want?" hissed Belletrix. " Come to gloat...come to tell me I told you so."

" No."

" Yeah well ... you can go back home ... because I dont need anyone... I'm ..."

" Doomed to die... yes I got the jist of it back in the court room."

Belletrix smiled faintly. " I suppose you're happy now. All of these years of torture you claim I caused you... all this pain and bad parenting I inflicted upon you. I suppose it's all worth it now... seeing me like this... knowing that tomorrow I'm as good as dead."

" I've never celebrated the death of anyone."

" Well you can start here ... go on Virginia. Say you're glad... I know you want to... I can see that look in your eyes. Daddy would be proud."

" SHUT UP " Virginia slapped her in the face.

Belletrix didn't flinch even as Virginia saw a red mark appear across her pale skin.

" I upset you."

" What do you think?"

" I could never understand how you cared for that man."

" You mean my Father. Blood is blood Mother. Surely even you know that...isn't that the motto of your dear Dark Lord?"

" He wasn't pureblood."

" Not many of us are anymore."

" We are. He was a traitor ...scum... filthy muggle lover..."

" HE WAS MY FATHER " screamed Virginia. " And I loved him. And nothing you can ever say will change that."

" If I had known what he was..."

" Spare me the details Mother , because I dont care."

" Your blood..."

" I dont give a damn what my blood is... you betrayed your blood Mother."

" He wasn't..."

" Not him... me...you betrayed my Dad and I too share his blood. Are you going to kill me too."

" Thats a riddiculous question."

" It's fact."

" It's stupid Virginia. I'd never kill you... the Dark Lord needs us pure..."

Virginia picked up her coat and turned to leave.

" The Dark Lord can do what he pleases Mother , maybe I will join him."

Belletrix's eyes brightened. " Really?"

Virginia laughed dryly. " Yeah " she sneered. " When Hell freezes over."

" You turn your back on the Dark Lord Virginia. You turn your back on me."

" That already happened a long time ago Mother. So save your guilt for someone who cares."
