Its been days since Dumbledore's death, seeing my mother for the 'first' time. These past days had been draining me out. Just the thought of being in the same room as Fiona haunts me. She's been wanting to spend time with me lately, my father would interfere and stop her whenever she had the chance.

Lucas, my father and I were in his office, having a moment together. I slouched on the chair while the two men leaned against the walls. We all need a break from her, she had been bossing us around, getting in my father's last nerve.

"She requested that Daphne and her have a bonding day." Lucas sighs.

"Absolutely not. Not that im still alive." My father walks back and forth.

"What is she going to do? Turn me bad? We all know that I would never." I crossed my legs. "I couldn't even kill anyone, you expect me to listen to what she says? If I do, kill me."

"Dont say that. I had it, I'll take you, send you with Katherine, somewhere, just so we can leave. I just cant have you here with..." my father turns his head, he didn't even say her name. What did he see in her? She did manipulated him into falling in love with her.

"So Voldemort can come for us and kill us all? Sure. Be my guest. I just want a fast killing, thats it." I said sarcastically, rolling my head back. "Like you said father, we can't go behind Voldemorts back." He looks at me. He knew that I was right. "We have to deal with Fionas nonsense for now. Either we like it or not."

"Not going to happen." I clapped.

"She bugs me more than the two of you. Lets just get her want she wants, me. Just let me spend one day with her, it'll be all over."

"No! Thats final." My father quickly turns to me.

"You and uncle Lucas will be by my side. Im not going anywhere. I promise."

"This isn't a good idea." Lucas shakes his head. "She will manipulate you, just like she did to everyone." He looks at both of us. "Is it me or is Fiona too nice? When has she ever been this happy? No offense niece, she has never been this happy."

"Its one of her tricks. She gets all nice and gets on your good side." My father turns to me, holding my arms. "You have to be careful around her. You must promise me this. Dont let her fool you. Sooner or later you will see her bad side. Its not pretty."

"If she is making us play her game, why wont we make her play ours?" They both looked at me. "What? I can be very pervasive." I hummed. They hated this. "Fine, i'll drop it." There was a knock on the door. Fiona. We stood up and my father went to open the door, she was standing there with a dress. It was burgundy with black detailing, lacy.

"Was I interrupting?" She acts so innocent.

"No, I was just leaving." I swiftly swayed to the door, walking out and to my room. I sat on my bed, grabbing a book from my stand. I heard footsteps coming from my fathers office and into my room. I looked up to see him and Fiona.

"Put this on, we are having a family portrait." She tosses me the burgundy dress. My fathers face looked defeated. He did say no but I know she said something to let his guard down.

"Why? We're not even a family." Fiona was mad, she calmed down by closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

"We can start being one." She looks at me and my father. "Ill be outside to help you tie it up." She turns her heels and heads out. My father and I sighed. Just to get her off our backs for a while. One day, that's all. I closed the door behind my father and got dressed. I hated it. I looked so ugly in it. It something Katherine would wear if she needed to go somewhere fancy. I called Fiona in, she was at aw. "You look so beautiful." She comes behind me and starts tying the dress. Her being close me was uncomfortable. She has meet me for like a week and she thinks she knows me, as if she didn't leave my side. I grunted as she pulled the lace tighter. "Beauty is pain."
