Trixie's Heir

Leveling Up

An- this is after the baby grew up to be 13 and still lives with Bellatrix in knockturn alley. Also Sicilina's name is pronounced sis-a-lina.

Sicilina Black stepped into the apartment that she lived in with her caregiver, Bellatrix. She had always known that Bellatrix Lestrange was not her real mother, so calling her anything Mom related has never felt right. So, she came up with her own nickname.

"Trixie! I'm home" she called out while hanging her overcoat.

"Excellent! I'm just making dinner" Bellatrix responded. Sicilina wandered in the vague direction of the kitchen, seeing Bellatrix at the stove, making soup. Her wild black hair was tied up in a messy bun.

"Anything interesting in Homemade today?" She asked, while pouring the soup into bowls.

"Not really. The stupid ministry is still trying to gather the last death eaters. It's kinda hard for them though, they don't know who's dead." Sicilina pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

"This is who they're looking for." She flattened the paper on the table.

"It's a short list, but you're not on it." Bellatrix nodded in response as she placed down the bowls. As they ate, Bellatrix broke the silence. Similar to Sicilina, Bellatrix also had a nickname for her.

"Sicile? I wanted to ask you about something."

"Oh? Is something wrong?"

"Not really. Its just that ... The ministry files of muggle born witches and wizards were destroyed before the battle of Hogwarts. Because you were born around then, they didn't have a record of you. However, they have been slowly sending out a kind of probe to find teenage witches and wizards who were unaccounted for. Thanks to some of my spells, the ministry knows you now as Sicilina Telenaro, the orphanage-raised daughter of a muggle and a witch, who grew up in a muggle world." Sicilina nodded in understanding.

"However, because you are thirteen, you are of age to join Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. The same place I went. You received this at the fake address I set the orphanage to." Bellatrix pulled out a Hogwarts letter, giving it to Sicile.

"Headmistress Minerva McGonagall. That's the woman that can cast three patronuses at once, right?"

"Yes." Bellatrix nodded. "We were on opposite sides of the war. But, I will cast that aside if you wish to go to Hogwarts."

"Yes! I've always wondered what magic school is like." She read the list. "I think I'm going to need some supplies though."

"Of course. We shall go shopping tomorrow morning." Smiling, Sicilina hugged Bellatrix and practically bounced off to bed. Smiling sadly at the girl, she cleaned up from dinner and headed off to bed herself.
