I woke to noises and an argument.
"Wormtail get him NOW!"
"my my lord where do I find him?"
"in Greenland now GO"
there was a crack, and Wormtail disapperated then there was another crack, and I could hear my father's voice
"Olivander it is nice to see you" he said in a fake cheery voice.
then there was whispering. Nagini sided into my father's room
"ssserenity wake up"
"mmm?"
"your father wisshessss to sssee you"
"okay Thank you Nagini"
I got up and walked toward the living room.
"Your up good I have decided that since you are now thirteen, as of twelve o'clock last night. You need to learn more magic then you know at the moment. I have gotten you various books and items you will need. But what you still require is a wand so Mr. Olivander shall give you one." He said
I almost fainted with excitement. I tried so hard to hold my anticipation.
"thank you very much father" I said my voice shaking
his lips curled into a slight smirk
"Mr. Olivander if you will"
we went through so many wands, none seem to want me. I started to get a bit unhappy then Olivander said:
"I am going to try something new hold on'
He disapperated, when he came back he was holding a wood box, with all sorts of engravings on it. he took out his own wand and murmured something the box opened.
"this is a wand from Ancient times, when wands were most powerful. This is my prized possession, I wonder if the time has come for me to let it go" he said handing me the wand.
I took it. Instantaneously I felt power serge thought out my body. I felt like a whole new person the room seemed to glow.
"that is indeed your new wand the wand of Merlin himself"
"WHAT?!" I said shocked
"you seem to be the new keeper of Merlin's wand. The funny thing about this wand, is that it contradicts its self. It has the hair of a werewolf representing power, boldness and aggression, the hair of a unicorn representing peacefulness and purity, and the hair of a centaur representing knowledge. It is 12 ½ inches, and it is made of yew with a mix of willow. This wand will give you power only if you can harness and control it."
"thank you Mr. Olivander I really appreciate you giving me this wand"
"my pleasure" he said bowing before he disapperated.
"Expect to see great things from you and I expect you to study lots" father hissed
"you may take your things outside and practice in the backyard"
"thank-you" I said
Grabbing six of the thirty books. I walked out into the back yard; I sat under a tree and began to read in the windy weather.
"My birthday, midnight, on Halloween night." I thought
I picked up the book called Charmed on charms beginners and intermediates guide to charms by Theodoras Capinatal.
Accio: this charm is used to summon objects to summon them you must say Accio and then the objects name. you must clearly visualize the object and focus on it coming towards you Grade level: 4
"Accio rock" I cried pointing my wand towards a rock, it came zooming to my hand.
After a couple days, I asked my father what I could use to practice stunning and confundus charms on. When I asked he looked slightly amused, and then ordered Wormtail to be my "dummy" I could barley contain my laughter.
A couple weeks went by; I started to feel more confidants in performing magic; learning it made me feels free and powerful. Christmas had come and we had got a report from Barty JR, that everything was going as planned. Father didn't get me anything; I didn't think that he would, but did he asked me to show him what I had learned so far. I showed him a couple of hexes, curses, charms, and my patrounus. (It was a dog) He was pleased, but told me to learn some healing spells, and more curses. He gave me some more books; to my surprise. I thanked him, and left. I went into the kitchen, to make myself some food. When I walked into the kitchen, there were so many owls I couldn't count. There was letters, boxes, and packages of all sizes. I started my rampage, I whipped out my wand, pointed it at the packages, all the wrappings came off, then I pointed my wand at the wrappings, and they disappeared. I sat there looking at all the presents.
"Wow if only I could be that popular"
There was a really nice quill, it was purple and black. I picked it up and went into the study. I sided in while father was talking to Wormtail, I grabbed a book, that father had given me. I started copying down notes on potions, I studied potions, it is my favorite I find so interesting. I was learning how to make Veritersurm. I couldn't start making it because I had missed the crescent moon, and it didn't come for another two weeks. My father didn't know I was making it, I was going to give it to him for Christmas, but I had missed the moon, so I'd give it to him for father's day or something.
"WORMTIAL!" a voiced screeched
"you incompetent fool"
I jumped, being in the same room, my father's voice echoed across the walls.
"my- my lord I did not mean leaving you I just-"
"DO. NOT. LIE. TO. ME." his voiced seethed
"M-master" he said on his knees
"I was just hoping to get you in health faster I mean-" he looked up at my father
"you are r-right my lord I will not bring it up again" he said
"you better not" he said in a deadly voice
"I wonder why Wormtail didn't try and find father the 13 years he was a rat or why he came back if he is so scared of him?" I thought
"that is why he is punished constantly"
I flinched I had forgotten that my father could read minds.
"sorry father I did not mean to inquire" I said putting my head down in shame.
"that is alright for now my child but any further questions on my ruling and death eaters and you will also be punished"
"yes father"
"good"
"Nagini" I called
"yesss"
"can you do me a big favor?"
"dependsss – what?"
"could you keep father away from me for a couple of hours please" I pleaded
"why.."
"I am trying to make him something but I want it to be a surprise please don't tell him"
"I will try my bessst" she said and slithered out of the room.
Couple hours later
"oh man I hope it's strong enough well I guess I'll have to test it myself I'll just put a drop on my finger then I'll take it and get Nagini to question me I guess" I said to my self
"Nagini" I called
"what now ssserenity?" she hissed she was obviously agitated about something.
"I need to test out my Veritersurm –"
"you are not ussing it on me" she hissed
"no of course not Nagini I meant I need you to ask me one questions then the potion will wear off but only ask me this questions what was the first spell you learned okay?"
"fine"
"okay here we go I hope this works" I licked my finger there was only a drop on it.
"what wasss the firsst ssspell you learned?"
"Accio"
"GREAT! It works thank you Nagini" I said. Nagini left, just as Wormtail walked in holding my father, Wormtail put my father down by me, and then left closing the door behind him.
"yes father" I said
"Where have you been all day I haven't seen you once" he said staring me in the eye looking curious I was pretty sure that he thought I was trying to escape.
"I have been in here all day father"
"why?"
"because I was working on a potion" I clapped my hands over my mouth
"why did I just say that!" I thought
"I see…." He said a bit menacingly
"and why were you making a potion all day?"
my hand were still over my mouth I didn't want to tell him about the surprise until tomorrow.
"remove your hands from your mouth Serenity now" he hissed
I slowly moved my hands from my mouth I really didn't want to tell him but I knew he would stop at nothing till he found out what I was doing I suspected that is why he came in to where I was to question me by any means necessary.
"again why where you making a potion all day?" he said with a smirk
"because… because.. I had to finish it today" I said stammering
"why did you have to finish it today?" he asked I could tell in his eyes that he loved this dominance he had over me at the moment and was toying with me because it amused him.
"I had to finish it today because it was the crescent moon last night"
"why serenity were you making this potion?" I just about wanted to cry I knew he was going to ask this and I could not lie and I didn't know why. His face wore a very smug and over powering smile.
"be – because I - I wanted to give you something in return for all the things that you gave me, have done for me in the past, you help me, and – and" I was dreading saying this because I knew he would punish me very badly I took in a deep breath and said "and because I love you"
"YOU STUPID LITTLE GIRL LOVE IS FOR THE WEAK!!!!" he screamed
"I'm sorry I'm sorry" I repeated over and over again
"CRUICCIO"
pain seared through my body I screamed the pain stopped father had lifted the spell.
"do you still love me" he sneered at the last words crying I looked up
"ye-yes"
"pity on you serenity it seems that my cruiartous curse isn't working I guess we will try a different approach" he said he waved his wand and a small dagger appeared in his hand I whimpered he just smirked
"give me you hand Serenity" I paused "give it to me now!" he cried trying to hold back tears I held out my shaking hand he grasped the dagger in one hand and held my hand steady in his other he plunged the dagger into my hand and twisted it I screamed
"do you still Love?"
"ye-yes"
"pity" he dug the dagger deeper into my hand I couldn't help but keep screaming then my father realized that the neighbors would probably hear so he put a silencing charm on me I still screamed tears running down my face but no sound would come out. He finally pulled the dagger out he laughed a hard cold laugh he removed the silencing charm and then asked me again
"do you still love?"
I looked into my father's cold hard eyes he was enjoying every moment of this I started to feel hatred towards him how every other person had parents that loved them and the one parent I had was enjoying seeing his daughter suffer at his hand and he was doing this all because I loved him. i started to say no but then I looked into those eyes past the hardness of them and i could tell that maybe hurting me was really hard for father but he was trying to teach me how to be strong and not to give into weakness.
"nn- yes"
"nothing I do seems to change you mind my dear daughter so I will just have to have better control over you" he paused "show me your mark"
I hesitated but did as I was told I lifted my hair from around my neck to reveal an eye with a snake around it. My father had told me what this represented the snake represented him the eye represented my soul what it was saying is that I am my father's child and that he always has control over me and that I am his property. At first he stared at it and then he out lined it with his finger, I shivered I remember how painful it was when he put the mark on me. He got out his wand and pointed at the mark and it vanished I was surprised and grateful at first but then I saw the look in his eyes and I knew that this could be good he looked at me a laughed then he put another silencing charm on me and a full body binding curse on me. It was almost like the last time except last time father had wanted to hear my screams. With a wave of his wand my cloak was gone and in it's place was a dress with the back opened. He started making very complicated wand movements then he took his wand and traced up and down my open back. once he was done the pain started, my back started to sear it felt like acid being poured on my skin while I knife carved every detail in I tried to scream and move but I couldn't I knew that if I could move I would being having a seizure like fit the pain was worst then the crusiartous curse. After what seemed like an eternity the pain started to die down I laid there breathing heavily my father undid all the spells he put on me I sat up breathing hard every breath was painful he said:
"go back into my room Serenity and I will see you tomorrow" I got up to leave but he called me back
"one more thing what potion were you making?" he asked
"Veriterserum" I said
"I see how much did you use to test on yourself?"
"one drop"
"I will want that potion tomorrow"
"yes father" I said my eyes filled with tears because of the pain.
