All summer Avella wrote in her diary. Things about fourth year and about Tom. Until her mother burst into the room.

"Avella! Get your finest dress on now we are going to the Black house. And stop writing your baloney in that book of yours" she slammed the door shut

Black house? That means I'd be seeing Walburga,Pollux, Dorea and Lucretia, let's not forget Orion.

She didn't really mind the family, Orion was her favourite. Apparently, Irma Crabbe is to be wed to Pollux Black. So she'd be there, she is already pregnant with a baby boy along with Pollux. But she's not even seventeen. They plan to name the baby Cygnus.

Avella sighed and left the diary unattended, waltz to her dark ebony dresser and pulled out her best dress. It was a dark blue one, it was plain. It wasn't a formal event.

She apparated with her mother and father and came to Grimmauld Place, soon the two houses moved along the dimly lit street. Soon a gloomy dark house appeared and her father knocked. This revealed Orion's father who greeted the father of Avella merrily.

The Black and the Lestrange family were close. They all stepped in, Kreacher the elf with a tray in his hand giving up pumpkin juice and rum.

Avella was the only one to regard Kreacher like he was a wizard. Which Kreacher liked a lot. She knows what it feels like to feel inferior to everyone.

Walburga was a year younger than Avella. But she saw the Lestrange girl like a sister. Orion came up to Avella and tugged the sleeve of her blue dress

"Come on Avella! Let's go to where the fun happens!"

They rummaged upstairs, opened the door to the right to see everyone there, the room went quiet as they saw Avella.

Her blood ran cold. When she saw the dreaded face of Tom Riddle, Abraxas, Rosier and all the others there.

"I thought it was only our family here" Avella whispered to Orion

"No no. My mother just wanted everyone privileged to come and discuss who we should marry" he shrugged

"Why is Tom here? He's a Halfblood." Avella guiltily says

"Well..there's something you should know." Orion took her outside to another room

"Well?" She looked expectantly at Orion.

"Well, we have a group, well a cult. Tom is the leader, we are his army. We do what he says." Orion looked helplessly at the girl

"So that in there, was a meeting?"
She pointed to the wall connecting the two rooms

He nodded

"What are the group called? What do you do?" She asked

"Well, Knights of Walpurgis. We erm, do Tom Riddle's dirty work." He gulped

"So like if he asks you to kill someone, you'd do it?" Avella looked perplexed when Orion nodded his head

"Or we will be killed ourselves" he shakily replies

"Why did you join?!" Avella whisper-shouted

"I had to. He threatened my family." Orion choked up
