A/N – okay, I actually made it to the second chapter. I'll try and update if people want me to, so let me know. It will be a haphazard schedule due to the fact that my father is retiring after 26 years in the US Navy andI'm supposed to help plan the ceremony.
Disclaimer – I own nothing, else the Harry Potter series would be inappropriate for young eyes.
Chapter 2
Adyn lounged against a wall, looking for someone. She was gathering many stares with her outfit, and hoped he would come soon.As if on cue, he stepped up next to her.
"Adyn, I got your letter."
"Draco. Nice to see you."
Draco Malfoy nodded. "Father's waiting. We're taking you to dinner."
Adyn smiled. "Thank you. How are you?"
"I'm fine, but I should be the one asking you."
"I am about as good as can be expected now." She followed Draco, limping a bit. Her walking stick hit the back of his shoe.
"A walking stick? What happened?"
"The old Bumblebee sent his cronies to give me a message. Bloody Aurors threw a cutting curse and a potion at me before I could duck."
"You've got to be fucking kidding me!"
"Language, Draco. Adyn, so good to see you."
"Hello Uncle Lucius," Adyn said with a small smile.
"We're heading home to get dinner Adyn, so you get to see the Manor again!" Draco's grin broke out, and he took Adyn's hand.
"Draco, is anyone around?"
Draco closed his eyes and then shook his head. "No sir."
"Good. Both of you grab hold." Lucius held out a piece of parchment and Adyn and Draco grabbed a piece of it. Adyn felt a sharp tug behind her navel before the three of them disappeared.
They were instantly transported to the hall of Malfoy Manor. Draco, still holding Adyn's hand, pulled her immediately to the library. Lucius just smiled and chuckled softly before walking into the sitting room.
In the library, Adyn sat by the fire, careful not to get her trench coat too close to it. She wore baggy black jeans, a black long sleeved shirt, and her ever-present black trench coat. Draco sat next to her, ignoring the fact that it was August and they were right next to the fire.
"If I don't get the whole story right now, I swear to slytherin that I'll shave your head."
Adyn smiled and started talking. "Last year, you know how your father was almost arrested?"
Draco nodded.
"It goes a bit before that. Harry bloody Potter had a fake vision and went to the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries to try to rescue his godfather, Sirius Black. Which is bullshit, of course. My father did not need rescuing from anyone. That's a different story. Anyway, the Dark Lord appeared with his cronies, along with Rookwood polyjuiced as your father. Bellatrix Lestrange, my second aunt and a total bitch, decided to go after her own flesh and blood, making it so that he fell through the veil after a bit. I found out this summer."
"How?" Draco had leaned forward a bit. Obviously, this interested him.
Flashback (Adyn's POV)
It was a warm summer night in Cairo when I heard some tapping on the kitchen window. It was a screech owl, one of the most irritating breeds, with a large bundle in its beak. I let it in and, thankfully, the bloody bird flew away.
"You were in Cairo?"
"My mother owns a small house there and I have stayed there most of my life. No more interruptions or I won't tell you the story."
So anyway, I let the bird go and Niko, my fox, decided to take it and rip it open. It had a dead rabbit in it for some reason, and then some hate mail. I thought the rabbit was poisoned, but under further investigation, it was clean. Niko had his breakfast and I decided to go out. I met up with Patrick, a friend of mine, who said a man had tried to find out where I lived through him, but that piece is irrelevant. It had to be around eleven that night when aw barn owl came at me with a formal letter. It was followed kinda closely by an eagle owl. The barn owl informed me of my father's death and asked me to attend his will reading in a week. I went there, but that's a different story too. The eagle owl was cool; he hung around for a little while so I could get him some of the best Cairo goat meat that he shared with Niko. It was a letter from the Dark Lord, offering an explanation in one day's time at my house in Cairo. I, being ever curious, agreed to the meeting. He brought a Pensieve and then showed me the entire deal of what happened at the Department of mysteries from multiple perspectives, all of them from Death Eaters or himself. He offered me a deal I later accepted.
"What deal?"
"I'll show you later."
"Show me?"
"It's nothing bad. Not in my way of thinking, at least."
Lucius popped his head in the fire. "Thank Salazar I found you in this room. I'll need the two of you to come to the sitting room before all three of us retreat to the library for dinner."
"We'll be right there, father."
Adyn and Draco stood and headed downstairs, both running as fast as they could without running into anything.
Once in the sitting room, Adyn took a step back before staring angrily at Narcissa Malfoy. "Hello, Narcissa."
Narcissa looked at Draco first, a smirk on her face. "Your father needs to speak to you in the kitchen, Draco. It is quite urgent."
Hesitantly, Draco nodded. "Yes mother."
Narcissa them turned her cold blue eyes on Adyn. "I heard my cousin died this summer."
"What of it?"
"So it is true then? Sirius has finally gone to hell?"
Adyn let out a small growl and clenched her walking stick, determined not to resort to violence unless necessary. Unfortunately, it appeared her temper was getting g hold of her.
"You are now without parents, am I correct?"
"What is your point, Narcissa?"
"My point, dear niece," Narcissa spat as she stood. "Is this. I understand the only recipients of my cousin's will were you and that werewolf."
"You were after his money then?" Adyn's voice came out as a low growl, no longer able to hide her anger.
"Not only that. I was to inherit the Black Manor from him. What would convince Sirius to will everything to you?"
"Could it perhaps have something to do with the fact that I am his daughter? You know, the fact that he considered you an incompetent, money –grubbing, gold-digging whiny bitch of a whore might have had some influence on his choice on inheritants. I must request that you leave Uncle Remus out of this."
"You little bitch! Bellatrix should have killed you along with your useless father!" Narcissa screeched and ran towards Adyn, throwing vases and urns her way.
Adyn ducked all of them and, with a ferocious growl, slammed her walking stick in to Narcissa's stomach. Narcissa staggered back, giving Adyn the chance to summon a black ball of raw magic and fling it her way.
Right before it hit Narcissa, it dissolved almost immediately. Voldemort stepped out of the fire. "What have I told you about using that much raw power, Black? You'll demolish the entire Manor and everyone in it, including yourself."
Adyn pulled a sword out of her walking stick. "Then let me finish her off slowly. She insulted my father."
"You will not get blood on Lucius' carpet. Do have any idea how irritated he would be?"
"I really don't care at the moment, Tom."
"Shall we go into the kitchen and speak to Lucius and his son?"
"I suppose."
A/N - let me know if I should continue...
