The Devil's Daughter | D.M

35 - Horcrux

" Severus i didn't think you'd make it" Father laughed as Snape came in late, his cloak flowing behind him as he sat down.

" Apologies my lord i had to take care of.. things" His hands crossed over the table with his posture very sharp.

" What news do you have of the boy" Father asked about Harry, he was being moved soon but we didn't know when.

" The day before his 17th birthday my lord" Snape's monotone voice responded. Father nodded until another death eater spoke up.

" I've heard different, he's being moved next saturday" I rolled my eyes, always trying to kiss my fathers ass.

" They are picking him up from privet drive my lord, the day before his 17th birthday" Snape repeated again with much more confidence.

" Then it's settled, we catch him the before his birthday" He smiled at his followers, i laid back on the chair really wishing to be in bed, my legs were still extremely weak.

A scream erupted from the other room making fathers smile disappear, " Wormtail what did i tell you about keeping our guest quiet, bring her here" He roared to Peter who was in the other room.

Soon Peter came out with the muggle studies teacher. I never took that class, if i did i wouldn't be here alive. My head would be hanging from the chandelier above us.

" She thinks we should allow muggles to know about our world, she's pathetic isn't she" He laughed as she cried floating along the table.

" Severus" She said bring me deja by of what Dumbledore said, i think it also hit him too.

Father didn't let her speak another when he shot the killing spell at her making her fall onto the table with a loud thump. I noticed Draco slightly jump looking horrified at one of the teachers he used to see around school. Her face no longer had any life, a single tear rolled down her eyes towards the table.

" Nagini, dinner" Father smiled proudly as Nagini charged to the woman. Her mouth stretching to fit her inside her body. My face scrunched up into disgust.

" I'll see you saturday" Father spoke before dismissing everyone. My eyes still stuck on Nagini who had a body inside her.

" Fucking disgusting" I spoke to her parselmouth. She hissed and launched herself at me but i shot a spell at her sending her across the room, wishing i really had killed her.

" Stupid snake" I hissed again before going to my room, which Draco was already in.

" Hey" His leg bouncing up and down and he played with his hands. He looked pale and almost sick.

" Draco, are you going to me sick" I told him as i inspected his face that was completely drained of color. He was a pale boy but he was paper white at the moment.

" Mhm" Was all he said before he stood up suddenly rushing towards the restroom emptying his stomach on the toilet seat. His face gained back some color but he still looked sickly.

" Is this because of the meeting ?" I question passing him a towel to clean himself up. He just nodded not wanting to remember the sight of the professor dead on his dining table. He probably won't be eating there anymore.

" Can i ask you something?" I said remembering he saw me killing before. I wonder if he became this sick when he saw me.

" Yeah, go on" He said standing up to brush his teeth at the sink.

" Did you get this.. sick when you saw me killing that one time" I asked standing in the door way. He stopped brushing his teeth looking into the mirror avoiding my eye contact.

That was my answer. The silence gave it away.

" It was my first time seeing someone get killed in front of me. I was honestly worst than this time. I didn't eat for a while or sleep remembering that lady's face" He spoke truthfully putting down his tooth brush onto the holder. That hurt.

" I'm sorry you had to see that" I looked down to the floor as i walked towards the bed.

" I know you didn't want to, you don't have control over your mind or feelings. I know it's not you. I'm not scared of you Cassiopeia" He grabbed my shoulders looking at me straight in my eyes. His eyes soften as he looked into mine.

" Calm down Cassiopeia, your eyes are turning black" I quickly pulled away from him walking towards the mirror where i saw my eyes, they had no color in them only black.

" Fuck, this hasn't happened in a while, i'm not even mad why are they turning black" I rubbed my eyes trying to make the black go away. I looked only the mirror and the black was spreading throughout my eyes. The white around my eyes slowly turning black.

" I need to see my father" I said rushing towards the door, rushing down the stairs towards the office.

" Father it's me Cassiopeia" I said from the other side of the door anxiously as my hands started to make the black smoke.

" Come in" I heard from the other side , i quickly opened the door finding him looking through some papers, probably about the ministry.

" Father my eyes, they usually turn black when i'm angry how they did when i was a here in 3rd year but they are black, all of it" I told him frantically as more smoke came out my hands.

" Ah, i see your soul is finally picking the right side" He smiled proudly, what was he talking about ?

" What do you mean ?" I asked i complete confusing of how my soul had to do with any of this.

" I split your soul into two when i took your humanity away. You have a dark and light side but i blocked out the light side. It seems now that the light side is turning dark. When it gets fully dark, my dear daughter you will never be able to get your humanity back. Your powers will also become stronger" He said calmly, completely opposite of what i was feelings.

" I'll tell you a secret Cassiopeia, you are a horcrux, a piece of my soul is inside yours causing what's going on. If you were ever to die it would also kill a part of me" It was always the horcrux part that made me feel like this. That's why why when i used to sleep i used to be able to see in my fathers head. Those weren't nightmares that was my fathers thoughts.

" Who did you kill to make me a horcrux" I asked him, i knew about horcruxes, you need to kill someone in order to make one.

" Your mother" He replied
