A Cousin

"Hello, so you are cousin Sirius' daughter?" a girl with bright bubble gum pink hair, and crystal blue eyes.

I nodded.

"How old are you? You look too young to be a student." She asked.

I looked around for more parchment and ink but could find none. I took a wild shot and signed, 'I am seven, I want to be a student, but I'm still too young.'

I looked at Nymphadora, and she was looking pensive. Then she said, "Why are you here, didn't you live with the Malfoys?"

'Yes I did but they don't want me anymore, Cissia, said that I am too much trouble and I'm not worth it. That because I don't talk I am some big annoyance, it's not like I don't do as I'm told either. They are probably just mad that I refuse to call Him, my leader, my lord. I wont, he is just a power hungry half-blood, that's afraid of death.' I signed.

"Oh, well, I don't think you are an annoyance, I think you are a smart, very smart, seven year old with a bright future. You want a chocolate frog?" she asked with a huge smile on her face.

My head seemed to be nodding on its own, I never got chocolate, Draco always got it. She handed me a frog and kept one for herself. As we ate we talked, and got caught up on each others lives. After an hour and a half Poppy came in to check on me and she asked how I was feeling.

I signed to Tonks, 'I feel much better, thank you.'

"She said that she feels fine and thank you." Tonks said to Poppy.

"Alright dear, Professor McGonagall is setting up some guest quarters for you. She will come get you from here. Miss Tonks, I believe you have class in ten minutes." She said then waved her wand so parchment and crayons were on the table.

'Thank you' I signed again.

"You are very welcome. Good bye Nymphadora." She said.

"Don't call me Nymphadora!" she groaned.

I giggled at her because her hair turned red.

"Well I have to go, so I'll see you later. Have fun colouring kiddo." She said to me.

'Don't call me kid o' I signed to her.

She laughed and left for class.

I sat in the hospital wing for the rest of the day and drew on the parchment.

A/N: ok Harry is coming in, in the next chapter!!! woohoo! I know this is short but it's just a filler chapter. Anyway, I changed where I was going with this, but it is still on track!

FYI; Dumbledore is mean and quite cruel towards Delilah, you'll see how in the next chapter.

Tah tah 4 now!
