Cursed Child?

"Mal-Foy?"

Celia repeats after him. The train slowly started to move away from the station. But Celia and the man standing at the station were still enchantingly staring at each other. Celia tried to recall but no! She can't remember anything. Why does this name seem so familiar to her? In the middle of her thoughts, she did not notice that the boy sitting on the opposite side was looking at her with a puzzled expression. Suddenly his eyes widened as if he realized something, he gasped and curled up a little. Celia remembered that she was ogling her student's father shamelessly. She was very mortified by her absurdity. The man might think she's crazy, that's why he was also staring at her, she tell herself.
To lighten up from such an embarrassing situation she glances at the boy. But all she can see is that the boy's eyes are red and his lips are quivering. She asked nervously
"Dear, what happened to you? Why are you so stiffened up? Are you angry with me? Did I do something wrong?"

The boy faintly said no without looking at her. Celia did not comprehend anything, what happened to him? A few times ago this boy behaves normally.

"Are you missing your parents?" She asked again. Now the boy slowly lifted his head and looked at her. His eyes are red and puffy, and tears have fallen over his cheeks. She asked politely, "If you want you can tell me,"

The boy asked with a trembling voice, "you also think of me like others, right professor?"
Celia suddenly became uncomfortable at such a question. "What do I think of you dear?"

"Like others." Saying this, tears started rolling down again on his cheeks.

"Oh! Hey! Don't cry." Celia crouched in front of the boy and wiped the tears with her thumbs. "What do I think of you, dear?"
And then she remembered his father's statements.
"Oh, honey! Are you upset because I heard your father's words? Don't be upset. My father still babysits me in front of my friends. I promise I won't tell anyone. ok? Here's that pinky promise. " Saying this, Celia pointed her pinky finger towards the boy.

The boy stared at Celia for a few seconds and chuckled. " Professor you are so nice, you are very different from others."
He paused and held Celia's finger and said "you are the only one who did not misunderstand me."

Hearing his words, Celia looked a little surprised. "did not misunderstand you, what do you mean?"

Hearing Celia's question, Scorpius said in a slightly painful voice, "You're the only one who doesn't think I'm a cursed child."

"What does the cursed child mean Scorpius?" Celia gasped in surprise. How can a child have the name of a curse? She thought.

"you don't know?" Scorpius stared at her. Celia shook her head slowly.

"Actually, the cursed child is what everyone thinks... "

But before Scorpius could explain anything, Celia felt someone move behind the window. So Celia indicates Scorpius to halt what he was saying, pulled the window glass, and took a good look in the direction.
No! There is no one around here. And not anyone supposed to stroll here. Who will roam next to the window of the running train? No matter how great a wizard he is, he is not immortal. But then what was it? She felt that there was someone besides the window. And it's not the first time today. It has been occurring with her for the last few months.
She did not tell anyone at home about this. Already they are worrying about Celia and Rolf. Saying these things, mom will start worrying too much.

But the recent events are bothering her a lot. She felt that such illusions have started since the arrival of Stella.

It happened on Christmas day, seven months ago. Both Rolf and Celia went to their father's house to spend the holiday. It was late in the afternoon. Celia gets up to finish some pending schoolwork. After finishing everything she started to select jewelers to wear to the evening party.

But suddenly she hears a pop sound and turned around to see Rolf was standing behind her. He indicates her to be quiet and warned her "Elly, listen to me, you will do whatever I am going to ask you again. Do a favor, please."
Celia looked at him perplexed. He shoved back his hair with one hand in frustration and said "Ohk! We don't have time to elaborate on things, So aunt Stella suddenly came here and I am going to give you a small portion of the draught of living dead. And you are going to occlumence your mind. I know this is very much hard to do but we don't have any choice. "

She nodded and tried to clear her mind and Rolf gave her a drop of living dead. After some time she started to faint and went into a deep slumber. Rolf carries her to the bed and covers her with a bed sheet. By that time he heard some noises in the corridor and again apparate.

"Stella no don't go there ... "

"Why sisy? I'm here to meet my sweet little niece for the first time. How mean you are! You haven't told me about her. So I am going to introduce myself. "

Two women shouting outside of her room. Though Celia can't move she can hear everything. All of a sudden her door was opened and the new voice shrieked
"My little niece where are you? Come to your aunt -" but then she abruptly stopped squealing.

Flidius said "See, I am telling you she is sleeping. She was doing paperwork all night that's why she is exhausted, now LEAVE."

"Flidy?" Stella called her sister.

"Wh-what?"

"She is your daughter?" She asked in astonishment.

"Ye-yeah! "

"Interesting!"

"What? What do you mean by interesting?" Flidius snapped angrily.

"Hey, Sisy! Why are you shouting, I mean she is as beautiful as you! Look at her."

Celia can feel a cold hand roam around her cheeks and it pinches them harshly.

"STELLA! DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!" She yelled.

"Oh! I'm her aunt why I can't touch her? Are you hiding something from your sister?" Stella asked.

"What Stella? If I am hiding something I believe I am not bound to tell you! NOW GET OUT OF HERE!" Flidius shouted.

Celia never heard her mom like this much angry.

"Baby, you don't know how much your cousin will become happy after hearing about you!" She heard Stella murmuring and left their house. And after that incident, She always feels that someone is watching her.
