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."
