AN: this is my first story, and I appreciate all constructive comments. Honestly, make fun of me. I don't take anything seriously. If you have any suggestions, please comment on them.



3rd person pov:

Today was Cassiopeia's 11th birthday, July 31st. The day she has been waiting for. As the sun rises, she jumps out of bed and prepares for her special day. She was never big on parties. Instead, she liked spending time with her close friends and family. Tomorrow, she will see her *2nd* cousin Draco and her aunt Cissa. Every morning on her birthday, Regulus would make her a cake, not a very good one, and sing happy birthday to her when she would walk down the stairs of 12 Grimmauld Place.

This morning, instead of just her father and cake waiting for her, there was an addition. As she walks down the stairs, regulus walks up to her and embraces her in a hug. "Happy birthday, princess," he tells her as he kisses the back of her hair. "something came for you this morning", he hands her the letter labeled in fancy writing:

Ms. C Black

The biggest room on the top floor to the right

12. Grimmauld place

London

As she rips open the letter in pure joy, she finds just what she has been waiting for. Her acceptance letter into Hogwarts. Once she starts thinking of all the possibilities of what could happen at Hogwarts, the question arises in her mind. "what if I'm not placed in Slytherin" she asks in fear.

"Don't worry about that, no matter what house you are in. I will always love you" her father replies attempting to calm her worries. Attempting to lighten the mood a bit, "Ready to stuff our faces with cake?" She nods in agreement as they start eating cake. "You ready to see your cousin and aunt tomorrow?"

"I am. Didn't Draco get his last month on his birthday?" she questioned. Regulus nods confirming what she thought. "wait. He will definitely get sorted into Slytherin, what if i don't and he stops talking to me, what if i ruin every family connection tarnishing the black name. Dad, will i ruin everything?" She rants in fear.

"Princess don't worry about it. You could never ruin anything. If Draco stops talking to you, thats his loss. Don't worry about family connections i'll deal with it all if it comes to that. I will always protect you." He comforts her as someone enters from the floo network.

"Aunt Bella!" Cassiopeia greats Bellatrix. Even though Bellatrix is crazy to everyone and Voldemort's pet, as soon as she escaped Azkaban 3 years ago she went to see her favorite cousin regulus before her own sister. Then she found out that she had a niece and a soft spot in her heart grew for Cassiopeia. "I've missed you so much. Today I got my Hogwarts letter"

Bellatrix embraces Cassie in a hug as she responds to her, "and you will just be placed in Slytherin and be the perfect Black princess, wont you". Ever since Bella met Cassie she has always tried to make her into the perfect pure blood to one day present to Voldemort. Even though this is the opposite of what Regulus wants he doesn't want to take Cassiopeia away from her aunt. He trusts that one day she will make the right choice and that she can defend herself. "I got you something" Bellatrix hands her a neatly wrapped box.

As Cassiopeia opens the box, she gasps as she finds a dainty silver snake necklace and a pair of silver studs. "Bella this is too much. I cant accept this." Bellatrix shakes her head insisting for her to keep it. "Can you help me put this on? I'll never take it off." As she puts the necklace and earrings on she hugs Bellatrix one more time.
