The summer after Aquila's first year was different from her previous summer. Instead of visiting her parents in Azkaban she was kept at home all summer. This was because shortly after school let out her mother's cousin Sirius Black escaped Azkaban.
For the entirety of the summer she stayed in the manor as her uncle once again trained her in the dark arts although she was beginning to rethink the whole pure blood supremacy ideology she was raised with. Of course she wisely stayed silent.
Narcissa once again spoiled her rotten and coddled her much to her uncle's chagrin. According to him the Dark Lord will not want a spoilt and dainty princess he'll want a warrior as ruthless and bloodthirsty as her mother.
Before she knew it it was a week before her birthday and her aunt took Draco to Diagon Alley and bought Draco and Aquila's supplies. Narcissa was afraid to allow Aquila out in public any more than usual.
Aquila's birthday passed with a small party and a family dinner.
Soon the two cousins were sitting on the Hogwarts Express and in their way to Hogwarts. Halfway through the trip Aquila paled and felt very cold and weak. The train came to a sudden stop as the train filled with freezing air and utter dispair. A dementor entered the compartment and crept towards Aquila. She passed out as she heard her mother's manic laughter ringing in her ears.
She woke up several hours later in the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey was talking with her aunt and uncle several feet from her bed. She sat up in the bed and rubbed at her eyes. Narcissa saw her and quickly went to her side. "Are you alright dear? You gave us such a fright! You'll be coming home in the morning love." Narcissa said in one breath with tears in her eyes. Aquila stared at her wide eyed. "No! I mean I want to stay here at school Auntie please." She bit her lip nervously as she cradled her left arm nervously yet patiently. Narcissa sighed. "Aquila Kira you are coming home." "No Aunt Narcissa. I want to learn and be a great witch like mother." She said knowing that mentioning her mother would stop all objections. Narcissa sighed defeated. "Fine you may stay just be safe and keep away from Dementors." Aquila offered her aunt a rare smile. "I will Aunt Narcissa I promise." Narcissa and Lucius bid their niece farewell before flooding back to the manor.
Madame Pomfrey gave her some dreamless sleep potion to help her get a proper nights sleep. Aquila was released the next day.
School went on as it had the year before. No one knew, not even Madame Pomfrey, that she was a death eater.
Before she knew it the school year had ended and Sirius Black was still at large.
As she entered the manor she felt a strange sense of foreboding. Little did she know her life was about to change dramatically. Whether for better or worse that is for her to decide.
(I know this has been boring and very short but the rest of the chapters will pick up.)
