16th of December 1995
(slight mentions of abuse and neglect)

I woke up in my bedroom for the first time in months
I'm home for Christmas break
I begged my father to stay at the castle but he wouldnt hear me out
I got up and put on my clothing
Brushed my teeth and went to the living room
I sat down on the couch and watched the birds outside
For once it felt peaceful at home no screaming no threats
Just silence...
I felt myself tear up and I didnt know why
I didnt have a reason to cry I wasnt in pain or anything but I just started sobbing my eyes out
I curled up on the couch and cried all the stuffed away tears
All the times I wasnt allowed to cry all the times I made myself hold my tears so others wouldn't see my real emotions
They all came flooding out
I felt a cold hand on my shoulder
Narcissa
She sat down next to me and grabbed my chin gently and wiped my tears
"Delphini what's wrong huh?? What's the matter"
She pulled me into a hug when she saw I couldn't even respond
She never did this she had never hugged me before
But she did and I accepted it
I cried in her arms and for the first time I felt what a true mother's love could be like
She may not be my mother but she had always felt like one and my own mother had her mind set on different things
My own mother had had me for fame and for my father's appreciation
She had me because she wanted to prove she could
Narcissa had warned her and told her it wasnt fair to me
But she never listened and now here I was
15 years later in narcissa's arms crying my eyes out because my own mother and father couldnt be bothered to hold me like this
They had me for their own selfish reasons and now I existed to bare the suffering it caused
