There was a distinct crackle of burning firewood, and soft padded shoes tapping away at the ground gently. In the mostly empty mansion of the Lestrange family, Kagome was holding onto a wall-mounted ballet barre and practicing the five positions. "First...second...third..." she slid her foot in front of one, bringing one arm in at a slight angle while the other remained outstretched, "fourth..." she lifted the bent arm over her head in a curve, "and fifth." She brought the second arm up to mirror the other before she repeated the motions. This continued for another thirty minutes before she switched to her leg extensions and toe taps.
It really was rather quiet at home.
When she finally stopped doing her exercises, she called out for her house elf. "Jipsy, I'm hungry..."
Jipsy appeared not a second later before Kagome, "Does missy wish something light, is hot outside, too much Jipsy thinks to be eating anything heavies."
Kagome nodded, "I'll eat what you make,"
Jipsy perked up excitedly and disappeared. Kagome wandered to her mom and dads' room; she was looking around at the dark artifacts with curiosity, though she never touched any of them. Walking to her mom's mirror, she looked at her reflection and smiled. She looked like her mother, that's what her father always said. She had wild black ringlets mingling in with her waves, though her hair was short, only falling as far as her shoulders. Her eyes were her fathers, though; his blue eyes had on more than one occasion been a topic of discussion amongst the Muggles at her Ballet school. She did a small pirouette in the mirror, the black leotard and white tights she wore with a chiffon wrap skirt, was her normal ballet wear. She was learning the basics still, but her teacher said she picked it up quickly enough and was likely to be moved to the Intermediate youths' class by no later than March next year. Practicing her form and stance in the mirror, she did the five positions once more where she could see herself and smiled a goofy grin as she stopped in fifth.
"Didn't we tell you not to wander in here on your own?"
Kagome jumped and turned around to see her dad watching her from the doorway. "Daddy!" When he crouched down, she ran into his arms and laughed as he lifted her. "I didn't touch stuff; I didn't!"
"I believe you..." he chuckled, "if you had, you might not be standing here. I bet your mum would be most unhappy if something happened to her little dancer."
"Me?"
"Of course, who else is spinning in circles in front of your mum's mirror?"
Kagome brought a hand to her hair, bringing her locks up messily as she smiled, "where is mum?"
"Mum is visiting with Aunt Cissy and Uncle Lucius."
"Us too?"
"Not today, my little bird," Rodolphus stood up and carried his daughter out of the bedroom and to the dining room just in time for Jipsy to appear with some food. "Jipsy, prepare food for Bellatrix and I."
"Yes, sirs!"

December 24th, 1985
On the night before Christmas, Kagome was sitting by a large grandeur tree that was gaudily decorated by Jipsy. She looked with wide eyes at her presents, her parents were still out working and would probably not be home Christmas morning. They had told her to go to sleep early, that way when she'd be well-rested for when they woke her up early to open presents. "Jipsy!" She called out loudly, "Jipsy~!"
"Y-yes misses!? Is everything okay, misses?" Jipsy asked worriedly after appearing beside her.
"Wake me up as soon as mummy and daddy get back!"
Jipsy smiled, "yes, misses. You should go, sleep misses, go-go."
Kagome looked one last time at the glowing fireplace and smiled widely before running upstairs to throw herself into her bed and force herself to sleep.
Christmas Morning came.
Still asleep in bed,
warm fingers brushed wild black bangs aside.

"Kagome...my little bird..."
"...hm? D-daddy?"
Rodolphus smiled down at his daughter, looking towards his wife, who was looking out the window in trepidation. "Bella..."
Bellatrix turned wild eyes to her husband before moving to his side, kneeling beside their daughters' bed. "You woke her,"
"I couldn't help it, love."
Chuckling, Bellatrix looked into her daughters' sleepy blue eyes. For a moment, her eyes darkened. A look of sadness flashed before her eyes as she brought her arms up and around her little girl. "Kagome look at me, love," Bellatrix said as she pulled back a bit. Once her daughter was looking her in the eyes, she smiled, "Daddy and I are going away for a bit..."
"What? Why?! It's Christmas, right?"
"I'm sorry, my little bird," Rodolphus frowned, "the Ministries Aurors will be here soon for us, and you must stay in your room. No matter what, stay in your room."
"But, mum...mum no. Why are they taking you?!"
"Well, if you really want to know~" Bellatrix chuckled cruelly, "mummy and daddy were trying to find their Master, and they found a lead...the Longbottom's..."
Rodolphus grinned in a twisted way, his eyes locked with his wife's' as she recounted their torture of the Order's Auror and his wife. To his utter amusement, his daughter hung onto Bellatrix's every word as if it were a story from a book, her eyes lit up as she momentarily forgot that her parents were being taken away from her. A loud pop sounded from outside of their home, and Rodolphus stood quickly and walked to the window. His eyes were darting around the garden outside as he looked to their new guests. "Bella!"
As she glanced towards Rodolphus, fear was substantial in her eyes. She turned back to her daughter, brought both hands back behind her neck and unclasped her necklace before bringing it to her daughters. "Stay here, love. Jipsy!"
Jipsy appeared a few seconds after her name was sharply hollered, "yes, misses?"
"You stay in here with Kagome, no matter what, you protect her! Shield her from the Ministry, and protect her so long as she lives, swear it!"
"...yes misses, always misses!" Jipsy cried out, "Jipsy will protect the young miss and keep her safe! She swears it!"
Bellatrix and Rodolphus gave Kagome a final hug before the two apparated out to the front of their house to meet their guests. In the early morning, on Christmas Day, Kagome cried out for her mother and father with a broken heart as she clenched the bird skull pendant tightly. She curled up in Jipsy's arms as she listened to her mother cackle from outside while the Auror's surrounded her parents. Jipsy rubbed circles on the little girls back as she performed a shield charm on the room until all was said and done.
She would protect Kagome...no matter what, she would.
