"What were you thinking lucius?! Banishing our own daughter when you married her off to him, knowing well enough how much she hated him and now that she is finally happy you tell her to leave?"

I was fuming with anger at the way lucius was handling this. Given she had killed multiple death eaters but that was hardly something to kick her out about, it was rather something to be proud of.

"You wont understand." he replied, not even sparing a look towards me. This was not helping my anger.

"I have been quiet for so long, just going along with whatever you did but im not going to just sit back and watch this time. You are wrong in this lucius."

"AND I WAS WRONG TO HAVE EVER MARRIED YOU." He screamed at the top of his lungs, getting up from his chair and walking towards me.

I pulled out my wand and pointed it sharply towards him. He was taken aback and tried to look around for his wand. Little did he know I had it in my pocket.

I walked towards him. He took a step back with each of my advances. Soon he was against the wall and I had the wand digging into his neck.

"WHERE. IS. MY. DAUGHTER." I screamed into his face as he trembled underneath me.

"I d-didn't have a choice! The dark lord was adamant I do it!" He replied.

"You have always had a choice. Every. single. time, yet you always choose the wrong one. You are the reason our family is in this mess right now. If you had only listened to me for once" I said.

I backed away from him and started walking down the hall, my heels making clicking sounds with with each step. I was going to find my daughter, no matter how long it took. A small tear made its way down my cheek and into the floor. I quickly wiped it off and kept walking but before I could get closer to the handle I felt ropes being tied around my ankles.

I fell to the ground with a dull thud as my wand flew out of my palms which I had used to break the fall. I snapped my head back to see bellatrix standing beside lucius. Her wand pointed in my direction.

"MY DAUGHTER IS DEAD AND I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE YOURS PAYS." She shrieked.

"Bella, we both know that doing this is not going to help anyone at all. I know you are grieving but this is not the way to deal with it-"

"PUT HER IN THE CELLAR"

"TO HOGSMEADE WE GO!" bellowed Sirius as he took Remus's hand in his and walked towards the front door.

Two months had passed and their summer holidays were drawing closer to an end.

The baby had stayed healthy and it was Sirius and Remus's anniversary today. They linked each others arms and apparated over.

Mattheo had been surprisingly pleasant to Sirius and Remus. They had been sweet to him as well but not before having interrogated him properly. Y/N wasn't allowed in obviously but she heard talks about a dog at some point?

The streets of Hogsmeade were emptier than usual. The shops shone under the golden sunlight. The pathway in between shops was illuminated and the windows were plastered with summer sale posters. It was a lot warmer than the last time Y/N had been there and It was a pleasant change.

They settled in the 3 broomsticks and Sirius got some firewhiskey (it's never too early to start drinking) while the others got butterbeer. Y/N of course settled for some water. They laughed and had fun like they usually did. This was quite a change for Mattheo as he had never had what you could call a 'happy summer vacation.' He had always been either abused or sent off on various missions. When he wasn't doing this he buried himself in books. To others he would just look like any other child who liked books but to him they took him away from the current cruel reality of his world and transported him, even if for just a few hours, into a happy land of his imagination where none of his family could trouble him.

Y/N excused herself to get some fresh air as the various smells in the room really upset her and the baby.

She put her hands in her pockets and walked slowly along the path. She reminicised the time when she were here to get her dress. She never would have imagined something so beautiful would have stemmed out of the thorny bush she saw then. Roses after all always grow with thorns.

She knew this wasn't over yet though, there was a lot more to come but she was prepared for it all. She was going to protect her family at any costs.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she saw someone approaching. A smile spread on her face as she saw who it was. Y/N called out to her and she ran over when her eyes landed on Y/N.

"Valena!"

"Y/N!"

It was valena, donning her classic black suit with very high black heels. Her makeup was done flawlessly and she hugged Y/N as they met.

Y/N had always thought of Valena as a sweet person. She would have chats with her often at school and they sometimes shared a few tips with eachother but nothing more. She was way more pleasant than voldy at least.

"How are you doing?" Valena asked.

"I'm doing good and so is the baby." Y/N replied with a smile. She hadn't told valena yet and was excited to know her reaction.

"Oh I know my brother can be a big baby." She laughed in reply.

Y/N let out a lighthearted chuckle before saying, "That's not what I meant! Im pregnant valena!"

The expression on valena's face showed disgust for less than a split second before being covered with a fake smile. Y/N had failed to notice this but the thoughts going on in valena head were truly horrible.

"Oh my god that's amazing! I am gonna be an aunt!" She replied sweetly before making up an excuse and leaving in a haste.

Y/N was confused to say the least but also happy that at least someone else knew now. She started walking back to the pub as valena hid behind the wall of a store opposite to her.

She took out her wand and pointed it at Y/N's feet before murmuring a spell which made ice appear under. She was disgusted and all she wanted in that moment was to get rid of that baby. Pregnancy amplifies powers and Y/N would therefore become harder to kill.

Y/N's hands immediately flew to her belly as she felt herself falling forwards. She screwed up her face expecting to hit the floor. The only thing going through her mind at that moment were profanities and worry.

Valena watched eagerly as Y/N fell forwards but at the last second she was hoisted into the air by what seemed like an invisible force and put down on her feet again safely.

Y/N's magic was useful for more than just killing ungrateful death eaters.
