S H E waited until the sun had just set. After thirteen long years and a few months, it was finally time.

Her time.

"So you're finally leaving?" Bella's voice echoed off the cold, dark walls. 

"Yes, I do believe it's time for me. As I believe my dear uncle Sirius will be escaping too," she said, looking into the cell, seeing the Death Eater grin maliciously.

"He will, won't he?"

She turned to look at her uncle's cell. "Are you ready to do this, Sirius?"

"Of course, Eva. I will get out my own way, but I want you to know that you'll make a fine lady of House Black. Everything is yours."

He smiled sadly, looking at his niece whom he watched grow up in a prison with tears in his eyes. His heart ached thinking of everything she missed out on in her childhood.

"Well, I believe it's time for us to show the world why we Blacks aren't to be messed with. I thank you all for what you've done for me. See you on the other side when destiny calls for it."

"Make us proud, Evanora; you've grown into a fine witch," Bellatrix complimented as she, along with her husband and brother, watched her walk down the hall with an elegance witches worked their entire lives to achieve. Yet she looked like a goddess even in the dark.

"Albus Dumbledore, you will be first. Next, Mister Tom Marvolo Riddle himself."

Her steps slowly became lighter before she Apparated away completely. Shortly after, she appeared in Diagon Alley.

"This certainly looks like Diagon Alley. Now to find the Leaky Cauldron; Sirius said I should get a room there until I can claim ladyship."

Evanora wandered in the shadows, keeping herself hidden from the few people who were around. She was aware she probably didn't look her best currently.

Reaching for the door of the building, she slowly walked in. "Excuse me, sir. I'd like to get a room for the night, and if you have any toiletries available for purchase."

"Of course, ma'am. It's a free room just down the hall. Room 115. Some toiletries will be in the room," the man smiled at her.

"Thank you."

Evanora turned, walking down the hall the man pointed at. Soon she came to room 115; she turned the knob and entered.

She ran a steaming hot bath and poured flower-scented soap into the water. She stripped herself of the clothes she had and lowered herself into the bath, cleansing herself multiple times from top to bottom.

After a while, she was prepared to go to bed. Pulling back the covers and tucking herself in, she drifted off to sleep.
