FEBRUARY 19TH 1994 

(long chapter and mentions of abuse)


after dinner I just left the great hall when I bumped into professor black he wanted to talk to me together with professor lupin we walked to his office he was awfully silent I asked
"so how has life been going I heard you and remus...."
sirius stayed silent now in a dreadful almost angry way I was getting scared I did something we entered the defense against the dark arts class room and I immediately saw my family tree project standing on the table I must have left it there remus was sitting on a table with the same dreadful look in his eyes he started talking with a small but serious voice
" you left something in this classroom I would like you to explain this I hope this is a joke"
I sat down on a chair and calmly answered
"no it's not a joke"
and tried to grab my project of the table but Remus laid a hand on it first Sirius now sounding really angry
"I best hope it's not this is not a joking matter if this is true you have some explaining to do"
i started talking in a calm almost emotionless
"where do I start I mean at my birth before that where"
Remus now sounding almost understanding
"first of all who are your parents"
I looked Remus in his eyes not showing emotion
" my mom is Bellatrix lestrange and my dad is Tom riddle"
Sirius gasped and looked confused he said
"so your telling me my crazy cousin had a child with Voldemort"
I nodded and explained further

"my dad wanted to take safety measures for if he died and he came up with the idea of having offspring a child a boy to be exact that was in 1975 he choose his most loyal and female deatheater Bellatrix and tried having a child this kept happening until 1979 when bellatrix became pregnant with me but my mother couldn't reveal she was having a child because my father wanted to keep it under wraps so the ministry wouldn't get involved meaning she didn't find out i was a girl till my birth and the moment she held me and saw i was a girl and not the son she thought she was having she has despised me

my father came home that evening from god knows what and he was told Bellatrix had the baby she he immediately ran upstairs to meet his son and he was greeted by a little girl which made him so angry he left for 2 days before getting his shit together and taking on the responsibility of a father

well...kind of

remus and Sirius were now both flabbergasted and looked at me remus said

"so that was why your bogart was Voldemort your scared everone finds out"
I nodded sirius stud up walked over and hugged me saying
"oh dear God I didn't expect it to be real I thought it was a joke I'm sorry for reaction so angry"
remus said
"if it's not to rude to ask how is it living with Voldemort as your dad"
I answered
"not great their punishments are a bit rough that's why I use a charm"
Sirius looked at me with a sense of understanding he asked
"a charm why do you need a charm "
I answered
"because I have some scars from misbehaving and being punished ofcourse "
they looked at me weird remus asked
"huh why do you get scars from being scolded"
now I looked confused I said
"huh scolded no uhm I get punished differently"
Sirius said with a horrified look
"WHAT NO NOT SECTEMSENPRA RIGHT"
i shook my head and looked down
remus sprung up and pulled my other sleeve up and commanded I take of my charm I screamed
"NO IM NOT SOME KIND OF ZOO ANIMAL YOU CAN LOOK AT
"remus took a step back and said looking worried "I just want to help you if you have deep cuts or even stabs I need to treat the wound"
I now calmly answer
"sorry I'm just a little protective over my wounds I feel embarrassed about them"
I took of my charm I immediately felt warm blood start running down my arm where I had been slashed a day prior the charm holds at the blood until you take it off remus gasped and asked "how did you get that white eye by the way"
I answered
"when I was 2 I got on my mother's nerves and she did this"
and I pointed at the thick virtical scar going over my white eye remus slowly walked forward making sure not to scare me he slowly started pulling up my sleeve and I looked away Sirius who was also looking at my arms remus said
"oooh delphini! please let me treat these next time no they look infected look Sirius "
Sirius stud up and looked a my arm and he said
"no that looks like disinfectant gel! delphini did you put disinfectant on your arm?"
I answered now normally
"yes I did"
I dared to look at remus who asked me
"didnt that hurt disinfectant on a open wound "
I said
"yeah but pain is human concept if you ignore it its not there...at leats thats what father always said"
Sirius looked confused and asked "pain shouldnt be ignored delphini..."
I answered now talking in a very small voice
"the cruciates curse it was used on me for 5 minutes and 37 seconds once and thats when my father told me that" Sirius looked shocked and said very loud
"5 MINUTES 5 WHOLE MINUTES "
i nodded remus looked at me with pity and grabbed a roll of bandages and started wrapping my arm i started talking more about my childhood I said

"from the age of 4 to about the time I started Hogwarts I was drugged"
sirius sat down letting his head fall in his hands and said "how and why"
I answered
"wel whenever I misbehaved the would give me sedative shot every hour for a day then give me a day to sleep it of and if I would misbehave again they would do it again"
remus said
" do you have scars from that two"
I pulled up my skirt and showed my thigh which was covered in scars
"I dont know if you can see them but yes"
at that moment luna walked in and said
"oh good your getting your wounds checked out by someone it was getting late and Ginny told me your where going this way"
I stud up all bandaged up Sirius stopped me and said
"delphini I get what your going through"
I looked at him with pity
"Sirius I'm so sorry you can relate"
he said
"oh it's okay but if you ever need to talk I'm here"
Luna and I left and I and walked with her to the commen room and entered I thought
"I have more people to talk to now that's good"
and fell asleep in luna's arm on one of the maroon couches
