HARRY'S P.O.V
Never had I seen a rage just like Delphini's.
I was right - we were enemies by blood. But, the last thing I had ever wanted to do was hurt her. Or send her into this anger.
She was her father, the hatred built up inside of her was directly from him and I now realise that she alone should be feared just as her father had been.
After she stormed out of the dining hall, I took my seat next to Hermione and Ron.
"What just happened?!" Ron exclaimed, a chicken drumstick halfway into his mouth.
"Do we really have time for Harry's love life right now?" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh shut up Hermione. You can be so irritating sometimes!" Ron grumbled.
Hermione looked on the verge of tears, and gathered her things before running out of the dining hall.
"Ron, that was harsh."
"Oh well. She is such a know it all!" Ron cried.
We finish our lunch and set off to our next class, Ron still mumbling under his breath.

Delphini's P.O.V
I had avoided all classes with Harry. That stupid, annoying... ugh! 'Enemies by blood'. What a fucking baby!
My blood was boiling, but I was starving. I walked past the 3rd floor girls toilets on my way to dinner in the dining hall, and heard crying.
I pushed open the door, and crept inside.
"Hello?" I whispered. "Are you okay?"
Hermione comes out from one of the stalls, her eyes red and bloodshot and her frizzy hair crowding her face like a mane.
"I hate boys." Hermione sobbed.
I hurriedly walk up to her and wrap her in a hug.
"Don't cry! It's okay. Boys do suck." I laugh, and Hermione giggles.
"Wash your face and calm down, okay. I'll meet you in the dining hall." I smile.
Hermione smiles back and I hurry down to dinner.
I sit alone in the dining hall, barely eating anything but waiting for Hermione to arrive.
As I am waiting, the door to the dining hall burst open, and Quirrell comes running inside. I worry as it isn't Hermione.
"T-T-TROLL! TROLLLLL IN THE D-DUNGEONS!" Quirrel screamed, his stutter making his mouth quiver.
Everyone turned to look at each other, and instantly panic set in.
I just have one thought; Hermione!
While everyone rushes to their common rooms and dorms, I run as fast as I can to the bathrooms.
As I arrive to the 3rd floor girls bathroom, I hear a grunting noise and the sound of what could only be enormous footsteps.
I peer into the bathroom, and see Hermione crouched underneath a sink with her head in her hands.
The troll realises she is there and raises its club above its head.
I shout as loud as I can to get its attention.
"LOOK OVER HERE YOU BIG BUFFOON!!"
It turns its ugly head, and I raise my wand.
"Imperio." I whisper, as it is the first thing that pops into my head.
The troll looks at me, it's eyes glazing over. Hermione stifles a gasp.
Using my wand, I make the troll drop carefully to his knees, away from Hermione. Just as I am about to make it drop its club, the door bursts open and Harry and Ron rush in.
"Step. Away." I growl.
I sense that anger seep into my mind. I feel powerful. In control.
Harry realises what I have done.
"Delphini," he gasps. "You can't... that's an unforgivable curse!"
I raise the trolls club above it's head, preparing to strike.
Then, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Quirell and Snape rush in. I immediately release the troll of my control, and let it fall to the floor in a heap.
"Oh my days." McGonagall cries.
Everyone in the bathroom turns to me.
A tear rolls down my cheek.
"I.. I'm so sorry." I cry, the troll quivering on the ground.
I slip past them all and run hastily down the stairs.
