Belinda Lestrange is the daughter and only child to Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange. If there's one person Bellatrix is more loyal to than the dark lord, it's her beloved daughter she was forced to leave behind.
With both parents in Azkaban, Beli...
Two weeks later Belinda ignored her pending detention with her professor. She went to every class and passed her tests for the last week.
"You should eat." She told Draco as she offered him a bite of her eggs. He only shook his head. A few owls came flying into the Great Hall, dropping everyone's morning mail before Christmas break.
"Who's that from?"
"Slughorn invited me to a dinner, remember? Or were you in your trance then too?"
"How long is it?"
"Starts at seven. Shouldn't be too long. We can meet later."
"Don't worry about it I'm taking a break tonight." He said. "Think I'll just sit with Astoria for dinner if you won't be here..... Don't be too late."

As soon as she entered the door, she could see her fellow classmates settling in their chairs.
"Ah Ms Lestrange! Come in dear girl we're waiting on a few more."
The first person she noticed was Blaise. Then Harry and Hermione. Blaise pulled out a chair for her, waiting for her to go over and sit.
"Hey..... over here."
She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding when she heard Neville's voice. She sat right next to him with Blaise looking at them angrily. Thankfully, Neville kept her distracted the entire dinner. They weren't as close but when they talked they were always able to pick up right where they left off.
"How's everything at home?" He muttered.
"I don't know. We haven't stayed home since early summer." She lied.
"You're not leaving for holidays?"
"Probably."
"I am too...... I'll send you a baby Mimbillus I've been growing."
She blushed and continued eating her meal. Neville sure loved his plants. From across the table, Harry looked away as soon as she noticed him. She knew he was suspicious of her. The rest of the dinner was filled with Slughorn making odd small talk with each of the students. However he didn't dare ask Belinda about any of her life at home.
During desert, the youngest Weasley had just walked in.
"Sorry.... I'm not usually late...."
Harry stood up abruptly and froze, staring at the girl. Everyone was weirded out until she sat down and everyone continued eating. Belinda snorted once Harry sat down.
"Goodbye..... bye bye."
"Thank you for the meal professor."
"You're most welcome Ms Lestrange have a good night. I'll see you all for the party!"
