"So Avana, what do you do in your... time?" asked Rodolphus breaking the awkward silence.
"Draw... read. And I am starting to write." she said as her mother combed her fingers though Avana's long curly hair.
Bellatrix looked down at the girl. Her hair was black, like hers, curly, like hers. Eyes brown like hers, again! She looked like a mini Bellatrix. She didn't even think there was one thing about her like her dad.
"What's your favorite subject?" asked Bella, Avana thought for a few minutes.
"Probably orchestra or Transfiguration." she said quietly. She was acting shy around her parents out of all people!
"Why not Defense against the dark arts or Potions?" asked Rod. His daughter hated his and his wife's favorite subjects when they were at school!
"Because Professor Snape scares me in class and just plain hates me. And because we learn nothing in DATDA" she said adding a 'T'.
"There is no 'T' sweetie." said Bellatrix. Avana shrugged and looked at her purple nails with green vines painted onto them.
"There is, it is Defense against THE dark arts. Hence DATDA, the acronym has a 'T'." she stated sounding like a textbook. Rod laughed while Bellatrix rolled her eyes remembering why she hated Ravenclaws, but also at her daughters statement.
"Well I guess you will be scared tonight." Joked Lucius, Avana looked at him curiously while Bellatrix and Rodolphus looked at each other sad that they couldn't stay with their daughter.
"Why?" she asked in her usual 'is there a bomb going to explode?' voice.
"Because Severus is coming." he said, she giggled. Bellatrix pulled her daughter into her.
"Any friends?" she asked and Avana shrugged.
"Two, one in fifth year and one in fourth year." she said, Rod and Lucius shared a look, not very happy.
"Any in your year?" asked Rod. She shook her head.
"No sir." she said and he laughed at being called sir. She giggled too and looked at her purple (One of the only colours she liked) snake skin watch, she sighed unhappily.
"What time is it?" asked Narcissa, Avana burrowed closer to her mother and a frown went on her porcelain face.
"Five to." she said, Narcissa looked sad, but big girls don't cry, especially Malfoy's. Do. Not. Cry.
"Oh." she said, Bellatrix held her tighter. Avana held in tears.
"Oh Avana."
~I KILLED SIRIUS BLACK~
"Hello godfather." Avana heard Draco say. She sighed, her hair had been pulled up into a curly bun and she was wearing a blue dress. She hated this. She wanted to be wearing her jeans and pretty shirt. But no, must be formal.
Dinner with death eaters, she called it. All of the, and their families (minus Voldemort thankfully) got together for dinner. And Avana being the youngest either had to be target practice for Draco and friends or had to sit through the adults talking.
So she hid in the attic till it was dinner. Well, that was her plan. Most of the death eaters scared her bur somehow knew all her hiding spots! Probably because she had been hiding from them since the beginning of time, well since she had been old enough to walk.
"Avana? We're going to play a game. Want to play?" Draco used his oldest lines. Avana wouldn't fall for it though. She stayed in her spot quietly. Drawing a picture from dreams she had.
The attic was her newest spot. Finding it a few hours before she had to make the elves swear they would not tell anyone and put the blankets and pillows up there.
So there she sat drawing, well colouring the picture she had drew. She had her back to the door, facing the little circle window. It was snowing at dusk, the time she loved. Going from the restless day to the restful night.
"Avana!" she heard Narcissa yell from downstairs. She ran to her bedroom and yelled from there;
"Yes Aunt Cissy?" her voice echoed through the large house. She smiled but hid it as Narcissa's voice came closer.
"Avana Kadavra Lestange where have you been!: she exclaimed in annoyed at the little girl. Avana thought for a second. She had to been a sneaky Slytherin though she was Ravenclaw.
"Drawing." she said, Narcissa gave the girl a look as Alecto Carrow came into view. She decided against running from the female Carrow twin. All of the sudden she felt hands on her shoulders...
In result she screamed and she heard Draco laughed. She looked at Narcissa and she nodded. Avana turned around and punched Draco in the stomach, in result to that he stumbled back a bit staring at his small cousin in shock. She smirked back at him smugly.
"So much Like Bellatrix." she heard Alecto whisper to her Aunt. Narcissa nodded in agreement with the red head.
"Holy shit!" yelled Draco, Avana smiled innocently. "Where did you learn that?" he asked her as his friends walked up wondering why Draco was screaming.
"Well" she drawled "A class you never thought of started this year about hand on defense just in case you don't have your wand." she said smiling.
"Draco scolded at the little monster but smirked at the idea forming in his head.
"Avana want to come hand out with us?" he asked. Narcissa and Alecto turned and started to walk away expecting her to say yes, but she suppressed them.
"No thank-you, I'm going to keep drawing." she said to everyone, literally EVERYONE's surprise. Draco and his friends stared at her in shock while Narcissa brushed the hair off her forehead and felt it.
"No fever." she muttered looking at her niece like she was crazy. Avana giggled and it sounded like chimes as she went back into her room waiting for everyone to leave she ran back to the attic. Just as she finished colouring she heard a voice.
"New hiding spot Avana?"
Who is it? No seriously, I don't know who it should be! Either,
A) Lucius
B) Snape
C)Alecto
