Belladonna Le Faye

A Visit

"I do not even want to know how backwards Magical Britain is if one of your classes at Hogwarts was called Defense Against the Dark Arts. Magic is neither dark nor light it is just magic."

"How about extremely backwards. Witches typically wear dresses if they are pureblood. Pureblood being from a completely magical family who has never had muggleborn or a muggle marry into the family or if the have the member who married them was quickly disowned." Blaise says.

"It is still called Wizarding Britain." Bella says, "the goblins are more advanced than the wizards and were the ones to get me a magical phone."

"Most forms of magic are outlawed as dark just because a majority of witches and wizards can't perform them, such as Necromancy." Blaise says.

"The British Magical Community is completely separate from the Muggle community." Bella continues. 

They hear the bell signalling the end of the lunch period and move to go to their classes. At the end of the day, Bella takes the floo to Pax Alley and heads immediately to Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes. She skillfully avoids all of the pranks around the door and picks her way through the shelves, smiling and humming along the way. She approaches the register with arms loaded with Forget-Me Smoke Bombs, Canary Canding, and Ferret Fudge. A brunette girl stands at the register and smiles at her as she approaches. “Hello, did you find everything you were looking for, okay?”

“Everything, but Fred and George.” 

“They are entertaining a guest upstairs at the moment.”

“Try we were entertaining a guest upstairs. He has stepped out for a bit, so we have come down for this reprieve. Which is going to get even better.”

“Hello, Fred, George.” Bella says, looking at each of them in turn.

“Hello, little sister, shouldn’t you be in school?”

“That is the beauty of American Magical Schooling, the students may come and go as they please. Outside of school hours that is. I actually floo and apparate to school on a daily basis.”

“That is beautiful.” They bag her items and drag her upstairs. “So you can visit us often?”

“I’ll visit as often as I can. So who were you entertaining when I first got here.”

“You’ll see soon enough, hopefully he’ll be back soon. He was just going to get a few things from his place before coming to stay awhile, apparently a nuisance keeps popping over to his place.”

“That is a very accurate way to describe her. She keeps complaining about how Hyacinth is an, and I quote, “ungrateful, wretched, little brat.” Honestly, who does she think she is. I got a copy of the letter Hyacinth sent out. She, Ron, Ginny, and Dumbledor were all stealing from her.”

“She didn’t ask us for anything,” Fred starts.

“And thanked us everyday she stayed at the Burrow, for letting her be there away from her muggle relatives.” George says.

“I did do that, didn’t I?” Bella says.

“Yes, you did, little flower.” George says.

“Hyacinth,” Charlie exclaims, running over and hugging her. “How? Why?”

"Second question first. My third potential guardian named by my parents lives here in the states. Won't tell you who for safety purposes with your mum poking around. How? Muggle transportation specifically an airplane not as nice as a broom but less conspicious. Also, I have undergone a name change. My name is now Belladonna.  I would tell you the entire name but again."

"Mum, got it. Still it is great to see you. I'm talking to the Goblins about getting a new place."

"Slytherin Cottage is located in Romania." Bella says with awave of her hand. "Your mother wouldn't even think that you might stay in a place with that name and apparently parseltongues can also converse with some species of dragon."

The twins and Charlie look at her. "Could we go talk to the goblins about me renting the Slytherin Cottage on Saturday?" Charlie asks. "I want to spend some time with the twins since they seem to have the only house Mum can't find."

"Or hasn't bothered trying to find." The twins say. 

"Sure, I'll see about setting up an appointment with my account manager for Saturday afternoon and I'll have to let my guardian know." Bella says. "I have got to stop just randomly stopping by to see you two. The next time I come by, Percy could be visiting."

"More than likely not, Percy hasn't really had anything to do with the family since he got his job at the ministry and moved out." Charlie says.

"Oh, well." Bella says with a shrug. "I should probably get going. I have homework to do, and I really don't want to disappoint at least three of my teachers. See you soon, hopefully."

"Use our floo."

"Thanks." She leaves.
