(Victoria's POV)

Once again I stood on the rooftop of Malfoy Manor, and I have been since dawn. I couldn't sleep knowing I had found my father, or rather got captured by him. I thought if I wanted to actually talk to my father, I was going to be me. Not the assassin that I was brought up to be, just me. I was wearing a green t-shirt, khaki skinny jeans, and black converse. I also had on a black belt. For accessories, a simple necklace, a black sports watch on my left wrist and I had a dagger attached to my belt along with my wand in case something goes wrong.

So I wasn't going to let go all the assassin in me, which is why I took the rooftops instead of my motorcycle. At least I thought to take my cellphone with or else Scar would have destroyed me.

(Severus POV)

Victoria had been on the rooftop since dawn. I didn't understand why she hadn't bothered to come to the door yet. We were all waiting her arrival, along with the Dark Lord, who, unusually, was most anxious to see her again.

The Dark Lord came into the room as if he was looking for her only to see she was not there. "What is taking her so long?!"

The rest of the Death Eaters flinched at the Dark Lord's outburst.

"My Lord, may I?" I said, asking for permission to speak.

"Yes, Severus. What is it?"

"I just thought I should inform you that she has been on the rooftop since dawn."

The Dark Lord glowered at this statement. "Please go get her, Severus. She is most likely awaiting permission."

I bowed at the neck. "As you wish, my Lord." Then apparated to the rooftop.

The apparition was silent as I landed so I did not startle Victoria, but when I reached the rooftop, I saw she was not alone. One of her friends who was with her last night.

"You already know what's going -" he started.

"-to happen." Victoria interrupted. "Yes, Blaze. I do, but that's only if she finds out."

"Are you trying to make the master angry or are you just being stupid? This is ludicrous, Victoria! You are somehow going to get killed, the question is by who?" Blaze said.

"Blaze, leave." Victoria said.

"No." he refused.

"Why?"

"Because I am not going to let you go in there alone." He sighed. "I don't want you to get killed. I would miss you terribly."

Victoria looked at him. "Blaze, we kill people all he time, what difference does it make if we are one of those people? Now leave. I will not repeat myself." Victoria practically growled that last sentence.

To my surprise, Blaze actually bowed. "As you wish, commander." Then he jumped off the roof and disappeared into the shadows. How muggles were able to do that was beyond me.

Victoria sighed. "Enjoy the show, Severus?"

She was now turned towards me and had an eyebrow raised.

"Only the part when you told him to leave. Your father awaits your presence."

She smirked at that. "You act like he's the king or something."

I narrowed my eyes before holding out my hand, so that I may apparated her inside. But she started backing away from me and closer to the edge of the roof. Before I could stop her, she jumped back, doing a backflip and disappeared. I ran to the edge and looked to see if she landed but she was nowhere in sight.

I quickly apparated back inside and saw that she was standing in the room waiting.

"About time," she said just before the Dark Lord showed up.

(Victoria's POV)

I smiled as I walked into a room of Death Eaters, but only because I enjoyed the look on Severus's face before I pulled myself into the window. As soon as I heard a whoosh behind me, I turned around and saw Severus with that same look on his face. Once he saw me, he scowled.

"About time," I said.

"Hello, Victoria," someone said behind me. I turned around only to see my father.

"Morning, Father." I said. Then I hesitated. "Is it appropriate for me to call you such after a short time?"

Voldemort looked at me as he thought about it. "I would prefer that you do."

I nodded slowly at the though, but on the inside, I was happy that he didn't reject me.

Being rejected by my loved ones was one of my worst fears, because in my opinion, if you're rejected and disrespected by family then you're rejected and disrespected by everyone else as well. If Master knew this, she would tell me that no one disrespects a commanding officer but for me, it didn't matter what my rank was, it was about who I was, as a person. That was what I wanted as far as respect went.

As I came out of thoughts, I realized that my father was not anywhere in the room. I looked around to make sure he wasn't behind me or anywhere I didn't see him. I didn't see Voldemort but I did see Severus, Bellatrix, and the dude with long blonde hair.

"Okay." I said. I turned to the blonde. "No disrespect but, out of everyone in this room, you are the only person whose name I do not know. Might I ask, what is your name?"

"Lucius Malfoy." the blonde said.

The last name sounded familiar. I looked at him curiously. Lucius had long blonde hair and green eyes, but her looked like someone I've met before.

"Is there a reason I'm being made of a spectacle?" Lucius said.

I realized that I was actually staring at Lucius. "I apologize, sir, but you look oddly familiar, but I can't seem to remember where I may have seen you before." It wasn't long before I realized that it wasn't him that I may have seen but someone younger. "Do you have a son?"

"As a matter of fact-" he was interrupted.

A teenage boy walked into the room.

"Father, is someone here?" He looked at me. "Victoria?"

I looked at the blond boy. "Draco?" I looked at Lucius. "This is your son?"

"Father, what is this mudblood doing here?"

"Draco!" Lucius hissed. He turned to me. "I deeply apologize Vitoria, but, yes, this is Draco Malfoy, my son."

"Charming," I murmured. I turned to Draco. "I am not a mud-blood and I ask that you refrain from using such a word around me. It's a vile thing."

Draco scoffed. "That doesn't explain why you are here in my house."

Severus decided to say something. "Draco, I would watch your tongue for she is the Dark Lord's long-lost daughter." Severus let that sink in. "Now that introductions are aside, might I ask how you two came to know of each other?"

Draco sneered at Snape. "Why should we tell you, Snape?"

I turned to Severus. "Severus? Severus Snape? As in Professor Snape?"

"How did you know I was a Professor?"

I smiled at this. "From Hogwarts, at the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I was one of the Beauxbaxtons that went there to support Fleur at the tournament. That was my last year there before I got 'expelled'."

Bellatrix's high-pitched laugh cam again. "Expelled? By the giant?

"Her reasoning was lack of attendance."

"What did you do? Skip class too many times?" Draco sneered.

I smiled. "More like an entire two years."

Everyone gave me weird looks.

I was about to explain when I realized that Draco wasn't aware of my way of life, so I just said, "I was unavailable under certain circumstances."

"Got something to hide, Victoria?"

I thought about this while scowling at Draco. "Everything."

"There's a Muggle here by the name of Blaze, Father." Draco said to Lucius.

Lucius looked at me. "Is he one of yours? I thought you said he would stay inside the city."

"Bring him here," I said to Draco. When he left I said to Lucius, "Blaze is my second in command, but knows when to respect an order. Something's wrong."

We awaited Draco and Blaze. When the door opened, only Blaze walked through. Seconds later, as did Draco. Blaze looked livid. "Lucius, I ask that you make Draco leave, before he sees something I'd rather he didn't see."

I don't know whether or not Lucius made Draco or if he did it on is own, but once that door closed, Blaze struck.
