(Ophelia's POV) (CW: child abuse)
It's been a month since I came home, Draco Pansy and Blaise have been sending me letters non-stop since we've gotten home. Of course, I had to answer.
Today I was eating breakfast when the sound of the mail slot was heard, followed by Pilsey, the house-elf, walking in and handing me two letters. One from Draco and the other from Hogwarts.
Naturally, I thought the Hogwarts letter was only the supply list "May I be excused?" I ask father and he shooed me away with his hand.
Quickly I go to my room and open Draco's letter.
Dear Phelia,
You'll never believe what happened, you are now dating a Slytherin prefect! I got my letter this morning. Still don't know who the other Prefect is yet though. I miss you.
-Draco L. Malfoy
Next, I open my Hogwarts letter. The first thing that I pull out is the acceptance letter, the one from every year. Then the supply list that I'll need to give to Mobley, the other house-elf, later. Then another letter. With a badge labeled 'Prefect'
Dear Ms.Mendoza,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to serve as Prefect for Slytherin House. Your school record shows that you have exhibited improvement from your first year, the ability to lead others, and the resourcefulness that Slytherins have long been lauded for.
We are certain that you will continue to be a model for your peers and will take your new responsibilities seriously. Enclosed please find your Prefects Badge, which should be worn on your school robes at all times. Congratulations.
Sincerely, Severus Snape
Head of Slytherin House
Quickly I go downstairs to find father in the sitting room.
"Father, I uh...I got a Prefect acceptance letter. With a badge and everything." I quietly say
"Good" he says
That's it? Good?
"Just ask dear old daddy" Barty's voice echos in my head
"Uh...father? Do you know anyone named Barty Crouch Jr?" I ask
"I do" he says
"Is it true...that you asked him to put my name in the Goblet of Fire?" I ask
"It is true," he sighs as he gets up
"So you just let that man enter me into a competition knowing I could've died?" I ask
"You wouldn't have died" he scoffs
"Oh yeah? Then what happened to Cedric? He's not just sleeping. He's dead." I say
"Well you know I had to, it's what the Dark Lord wanted, that's why he killed your-" he quickly stops
"Killed who?" I ask
"Nevermind that" he shakes his head
"That's why he killed my mother? Is that what you were going to say?" I ask
"No, no forget about it" he mumbles as he starts to walk away
"How did mum die?" I say with tears in my eyes, he quickly stops
