Chapter 2:a birthday

*Disclaimer crud goes here*

Kali's POV:

I am 8 now. It has been 6 years since I arrived here. Today is my birthday. Let us take a look into what they are like here. Rather boring, normally. But today is special. I have but 3 years until I can go to Hogwarts. Tom went there as a child, you know. But let us dwell onto that later.

I open my eyes up at precisely 7 o'clock. Precisely. I walk downstairs, Bella, Wormtail, and Lucious are there. Tom's most "devoted" followers. I walk haughtily into their presence. I noticed a small pile of gifts, in the corner. The corner of my mouth turned up the slightest bit. I sat down, well, more like ok, sat, but... ok, WELL, I sat down, and smirked slightly at Bella and the others. "So, what have we here today?" I did my signature raised eyebrow, which I took slightly from tom, although seeing as he didn't really… have eyebrows… anymore… He has been gone for 4 years, since shortly after my 4th birthday. Don't know what happened to him… But I am safe.. enough, for now. They will not suspect anything about me. I am an excellent actress, I am immune to torture and ways to make me tell the truth… Hmmm. And I will.. You will see when it happens I suppose. But back to the story. SO, It is my birthday. They all just love me here. Well, not really, But I can do wandless magic to now. I can hurt them, and what can they do to me? Nothing! I cackle. Then I notice them staring. I compose myself. "Wormtail, bring me one of my presents." He hurries to comply. I open it slowly. I notice it is from Bella, and none of them here are skilled at either occulemency or legilimency, so I read her. She is scared I will not like it, so I look at it. Hmm.. I do not let my self show any emotions. A… what is this? "What is this… Bellatrix?" I narrow my eyes into a glare, looking at her. She squeaks slightly. "A.. a satchel." She says.

"Well, yes, Bellatrix," I say sweetly. "I can… see that. But what is it, exactly? Why should I have a… need for it?"

"B-because it… It's a dragon hide wizard space satchel! And it has many wards and such on it, you can hide things in it, and they are undetectable, and it has unlimited space, and even has a room inside of it! You could hide in it, if need be, and it has a library in the room! It cost me a hundred galleons!" She nearly shrieked.

"I… See. Very nice." I put it next to me, giving her a nod, to show that I appreciated it. "Next one, Wormtail."

He scurried to oblige, and sets in front of me another, this one from Lucious. I open it, painfully slowly for them, I can tell. I see inside of it, and there is… a potion set, which includes Felix Felicis, and another that I am not quite sure of. "What is this one?" I ask him, emotionlessly.

"It is a very very rare potion. It gives you the ability to speak to animals. And you missed one. The anamagi potion." He says, shaking slightly.

My eyes open wide, delighted. "Brilliant! I love it!" He grins. "Wormtail" Before I finish another is in front. One from him. He delayed giving this one to me, he must not have gotten a good one. I could legilimency him, but I do not think I will. So I open it. This one has…

Someone runs into the room. "Mistress Kali, Mistress Kali!" The house-elf says, out of breath. "What?" I say exasperatedly.

"There is someone here to see you! Says they got you a present, they did!" The house-elf says.

"Who?" I say the one simple word everyone was thinking.

"A… what was his name?" The house-elf's eyes widened, not able to think of the name.

My eyes narrow, then I roll them. "Send them in."

"But, Kali, they could be anyone!" Bella says.

"And as you know, they can't hurt me. And you guys can protect me, can you not?" I ask. They nod.

The house-elf brings in… who is this? And my eyes widen in recognition. Narcissa and Draco. Hmm. Well, they always give good presents. Narcissa hisses something to Draco. His eyes widen in remembrance, and he bows to me. Good. He is after all, 3 years younger, and I deserve respect. Narcissa nods. Better then normal.

"So what did you bring?" I tap my fingers on the table.

Narcissa pushes Draco forward. He pulls a large object behind him, and carries a small object in his hand. He sweats slightly, and puts them in front of me, then hastily backs up. I open the smaller thing first, and my face shows shock, then delight, then it is composed and blank. It is a potion bracelet! It carries 100 vials, and 10 spaces. The vials contain potions(most of them do, at least), and it is charmed to be never ending potions. Half of the spaces are filled. The other five…. Well, are not. So I put my wand in one, (Of course this is charmed for extra space, you know) and save the others for later. In the five that were already filled, there are a healing paste, never ending of course, a rolled up piece of parchment which upon opening shows to have spells on it, plenty of useful ones, another parchment which shows to have nothing on it, but I know it is actually a way of communication, a port key, and a quill. The potions are Felix, Amortentia, (I narrowed my eyes at that one, but then they return to normal at the next) draught of living death, sleep potion, a potion that proves to be an obedience potion, short lasting though, but undetectable. Better then imperio, if you can get it to them. Veritiserum, blood-replenishing potion, draught of peace, pepper-up potion, polyjuice potion, wound-cleaning potion, wolfsbane potion (why? I wonder), ageing potion (again, why?), a youth restoration potion, an all-curing antidote, mandrake restorative potion, a memory potion that allows me to implant false memorys, swelling solution, deflating draft, an undetectable poison, wit-sharpening potion, an anti-paralysis potion that should keep me safe if taken every 24 hours, bruise removal paste, boil-cure potion, befuddlement draught, babbling beverage, calming draught, cough potion, dreamless sleep potion, love potion along with the antidote, murtlap essence, photograph developing fluid, a potion that would allow limbs to re-grow, a health potion, a vitamin potion and… Elixir of Life? My eyes widened. But it was! "I.. do not know what to say! This must of cost a fortune!" I stared at her. Lucious did too. She winked. "Not if you know the right places, and have connections. Now open the other one!" She seemed quite excited. I opened the other one. It was a… trunk?

"It has rooms in it, and it is quite good quality. It has a fake bottom for those, of course. It looks like a normal trunk to anyone, and it is quite undetectable!" She was obviously delighted, beaming like a child. Bella's eyes were wide, and she looked about to cry. She kept back the tears of course, not wanting to seem weak, but I could tell she had thought she would be the best.

"And of course, Kali, they both open only for you, or someone you have given a password to." Narcissa said. "The rooms are a library, a bedroom, a kitchen, a potion lab, two guest rooms, a safe room, in case you need it, although it is probably more likely to be used as a prison, seeing as it is impossible to get into or out of unless you know the password, which only you will know. And, the last room is a storage room." She giggled.

I beamed at her. I hurried to write something on a slip of paper, and gave it to her. "This ought to take care of the price." I said.

"But, I wanted to buy it for you!" She said.

"But I am repaying you. It is for 2,000 galleons, that ought to pay for it. Besides, I have several accounts with millions in each." I said.

"Of course." She smiled at me. "And I almost forgot, it came with 5 house-elves. They have their own small room connected to yours."

I smiled at that. Wormtail made a small noise. I rolled my eyes, I had forgotten about his. I looked at it, to discover that it was a kneazle. A wonderful gift really, rather cute, still a baby. And it liked me, obviously, seeing as how it jumped into my lap and started.. to purr? And then I heard it.. speaking into my thoughts. Interesting. "May I become your familiar?" It asked.

"Of course." I thought back. I smiled. "Everyone, I love all of these. They are simply… Shall I say, brilliant? Especially yours, Malfoys. And Bella, love, yours is very thoughtful. Wormtail?" I said.

Wormtail whimpered, scared that I did not like it. I smiled at him, and he relaxed. "Come here." I said. His eyes widened, and he started to shake, scared again. Nevertheless, he walked to me, and knelt bowing in front of me. "Y-yes, K-kali?" He asked.

"It is nothing bad!" I rolled my eyes, as he relaxed at my words. "I just wanted to thank you for my new familiar. Stand up." He stood up, staring at the ground. I did a maneuver of my hands, forcing him to look me in the eye. I smiled, and conjured a vial, and opened my bracelet to pour a healing draft into the vial I had conjured. "Here, for the next time you get hurt, because knowing you, it will be soon. Just don't use it for something I do, without my permission." He nodded, and made to raise his hand to take it, hesitating until I nodded, then he took it, and beamed. "Thank you, Kali!" He said.

"Dismissed." I nodded to Wormtail, and he made out of the room, to go to his. "Bella?" She walked to me. "yes, Kali?" She asked.

"I love your gift, it's amazing, it will be easier to carry then my trunk, and it could even carry the trunk, you know. Thank you." I said, conjuring a vial, then shook my head and conjured up two more. I then poured Felix in one, pepper-up in another, and sleep potion in the third. She smiles happily at me.

"Lucious?" I ask next. He starts forward, stopping in front of me. I smile at him. "I love your potions. Keep the felix however, seeing as I have the one in the bracelet. Now, I would like you to have…" And I conjured up a vial, pouring into it calming draught. "I know how jumpy you have been lately." I winked.

He grinned, something actually rather strange to see. He does not do that often, you know. "Narcissa?" I said, and she stepped forward. I accio-ed something out of my room. When she saw what it was, her eyes widened in shock and happiness. "I want you to have this." I said to her, handing her the Anti-Avada potion. "And don't seem so surprised, I mean, I am already immune. You may need it. Besides… It will also protect you from the dementors kiss." At that, her eyes widened even more, rather strange looking really. "And don't think I cant kill you now. I have my ways." She nodded. "Go join your husband. Draco?" I said, and Draco came forward to me, slightly nervous. I smiled gently at him. "Thank you, I am sure you must have helped with the picking of the gifts, correct?" I asked, and he nodded eagerly. "Very well, now, I will be very nice… What would you like?" I asked him. His eyes widened, and he tentatively spoke. "May.. I have" He stopped, rather confused.

"What? I assure you, the answer will almost certainly be yes." I said, slightly annoyed, but smiling.

"Your.. friendship?" He asked in a small voice. My eyes actually widened in shock. He wanted… my friendship? A tear actually started in my eye, but I banished it quickly. I hadn't cried… for as long as I could remember.

"Sort of, I suppose. You can be… my advisor. Once you are older, of course." I said. And his eyes brightened. "Now, go fetch your parents so we can talk about this."

He nodded, then ran out of the room.

I polished my finger nails with a quick spell, waiting for them to come in. Soon they came in, and I glared at them. "What took so long?" I demanded.

"Draco could not find us… Kali." Narcissa bowed her head slightly. I rolled my eyes.

"Well then, did he say why you all are here?" I asked. She shook her head no, along with Lucious.

"Very well. Draco, here." I said, and he hurried to my side, kneeling next to me. I smiled, he already knew how to do this type of stuff. My smile was of course, a half smile, the corner of my lip turning up ever so slightly. "I allowed Draco to choose his gift. He wanted my friendship." Their eyes grew wide, but I shook my head ever so slightly. "I denied this of course, but I would like him to become more of an advisor, so to speak. My closest follower." I smirked at them.

"Yes, of course!" Lucious found his voice first. "We would be honored." He said.

"Brilliant!" I grinned, not quite maliciously, but definitely not a happy beam. "You realize he shall stay here with me for most of the days, but you can take him up to twice a week, up to 24 hours worth. On holidays, he can have up to a week, except on Christmas, where he can stay two weeks, except for the two days of Christmas you will be here." I smiled.

"Of course, we know. You must teach him how to be a follower of course… just… don't crucio him, please?" There was a slight note of pleading in her voice. Narcissa was speaking, of course.

"Yes. Or at least, not too much." I smiled. And that was the end of my birthday. Draco was to stay with me most of the time, and consequently with Bella and Wormtail, who stayed with me.
