Chapter Four:

Hogwarts Express: June 2015:

Delphi was happy, truly happy. Seven years had gone by so quickly. She had made many friends and had not made a single enemy. She steered clear of any dark arts and focused on her studies and doing all in her power to not be like her birth parents. She had Harry and Ginny and so many others in her family. When she felt down she could always go visit Fred and George Weasley-Prewett at their shop or at the Burrow. She loved to hear the tale of Fred the most.

Fred should have died, he thought he had died as did his family. But somehow he was here and he swore that it was professor Snape who saved him. He had lost the ability to walk without magical aid but he was alive and married to Angelica while George had married Alice and all were very happy. Fred and George talked most to her aside from her parents about darkness and how they had nearly been sucked into it. They told her how they stayed away and how turning their talents to jokes and a shop kept them on the straight and narrow. They even roped Ron into helping them run them and he was very happy overseeing the warehouse they used now with sixty employees to make their goods to send around the world.

Delphi had never been a prefect or head girl and she was glad. She would have been unhappy with that and her head of house and headmistress knew that. Her friends of course thought she should have been both but Delphi did not want that. Instead she studied very hard, learned all she could about life and her part in it and her destiny. She had heard a prophecy about her and believed she was to help the world and that was how she was to change it. She was still small, she had not reached her final growth spurt but was sure she would in the next year. She still looked so child-like at seventeen but was not really worried about that. The boys left her alone, though that could be due to them being afraid of her.

"So, you ready for the wide world out there?" Rosemary her very best friend asked.

"Yes, scared a bit but ready." Delphi replied.

"You are going to set the world on fire, Del." Martha said using her pet name for Delphi, "you will see."

Eva was not here, she had left England when her father got transferred to Japan for work. So Eva went with her family and loved Japan and wanted to stay there forever. So the four had become three and they were very good friends. Delphi got along with all the professors but Lucius Malfoy and the less she said about him the better. She did not like him at all and found his son dull, she did like Rosemary's family and Martha's and was going to be named the Black heiress in a few weeks time. Harry was the head of the Potter, Black and Fleamont families now and had named James as heir of Potter and Albus heir of Fleamont. As Delphi was the daughter of a married couple on her mother's side and her father was a bastard, she got her mother's inheritance as she was the only remaining direct line to house Black left.

"So you going to do a world tour?" Martha asked, "I would but I am going to uni to become a healer."

"Yes, I am I wish you could come with me, both of you."

"I wish I could, I am getting married." Rosemary said, "he is everything I could want in a man, you will come to the after?"

"I still cannot believe your parents are letting you elope." Delphi said.

"Either that or a huge wedding neither of us wants." Rosemary replied.

It had come as a shock but a good one when Rosemary had fallen into true love with Bartholomew Carrow, he was only two years older than her and was part of the good Carrow family, the evil Carrow twins did not count. He doted on Rosemary and though young it was clear they were meant for each other and were going to have a wonderful life. The train pulled into Kings Cross and Delphi got off. She bid her friends goodbye and got in line to Apparate home. Once done she walked up to the cozy three story Rosewood Cottage with attic and basement that she called home. It was a five bedroom four bath home and she loved it dearly. Her siblings poured out the backdoor and mobbed her.

"Delphi you are back!" Lily squealed.

"Sis so good to see you!" James said hugging her tight.

"I am glad you are home!" Albus said next.

"Sorry we were not at the station, the press this year." Ginny said hugging her. "They got wind of your inheritance and it was a chore to keep them off the platform, your dad will be here soon."

"Sorry about that." Delphi said.

"Don't be, you have nothing to be sorry about, just a few feathers will be ruffled but once you take over, well things will be much better." Ginny said, "I made your favorites."

Delphi walked into the house and smiled, she was so loved and cared for and knew she had lucked out in having the best parents ever. Harry came in clad in his Auror uniform, muggle style navy fatigues and grey dragonskin armor over this. He hung up his armor, gave everyone a hug and sat at the head of table. Everyone else took a seat a their spots, Ginny was at the foot of the table. Delphi smiled as the food was on the table courtesy of Kreacher. He was smiling at her and had really warmed up to her more than usual as she was going to be head of house Black. The meal started with a salad of fresh garden greens and tomatoes. Then roast beef roasted over a fire, jacket potatoes and summer squash were added and after a large treacle pie was served.

"So you looking forward to Hogwarts?" Delhi asked James.

"Yes, I want to be Gryffindor, like mum and dad, sorry sis." He said.

"That is okay, each house has it's good points." Delphi said, "I did not see much of the rivalries that you described mum dad."

"That is because the school is set up different." Ginny said.

"Good thing that." Harry replied. "And if you end up in Slytherin it is not a big deal, that is where your sister went."

"True, and she is fine, still speaks to snakes." James said smiling to show he was teasing.

"You all do now." Harry said, "I thought, well I guess I gained that somehow and passed it on."

"Yea, and the curse-breakers really want to see me with the." Delphi said, "I think I might join them."

She was very happy to be here with her wonderful family. Harry and Ginny knew she had been recruited by the unspeakables and was going to join them. The cover for that was she was going to be a curse breaker, like her uncle Bill. Instead she was going to be an unspeakable. It was only fitting as she would do great there. A few weeks later she did go and publically take over the head of house Black. Draco Malfoy was there and made it a point to show genuine support for the new head of Black house and offer his aid if needed. His mother was there as well but not Lucius, he was in the muggle world doing his duty there as required every summer. Delphi loved her live, her parents and the fact she was going to do good, not evil in life.

No need to really go over Hogwarts years. She had a great time, only her family at this point knows that she is the biological daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix.

Anyway, do review, that is really the only way I get paid.
