Today is September 2nd, school starts again in a week. Today is my birthday.
My father has something planned today, but I don't know exactly what. I went down to breakfast and this time my father was there too. I sat down in my chair and received lots of congratulations.
"Thanks guys"
“Come on Y/N we have to go now”
I got up and my father and I apparated out to a large lake and a small hut in the back.
"Y/N I brought you here to show you how to fly" He took my hand in his hand and slowly flew up into the air.
"Oh wow I can fly"
My father smiled and slowly lowered me back to the ground.
"Now you try on your own. You have to believe and be confident. You can't feel afraid. Try"
I took a deep breath and whispered again and again that I could fly. My father gave me a ring and I put it on my finger.
I can do it.
I lifted off the ground a bit and then flew unsteadily, but I flew.
" This is my daughter"
We tryed it oftens and after many trys I flew confident.
He started flying again and took my arm. We flew over the lake together. I touched the water with my fingers and smiled.
We arrived on the other side.
An animal was standing there, waiting.
" Y/N this is a Thestral. You have to treat him with respect and he will treat you back with respect. You can  go towards him. Take a step forward and bow and then he will give you the same respect back."
"We must always be respectful of creatures we want on our side"
I took a step forward and bowed. He did the same to me.
My father lifted me onto the Thestral's back and he immediately flew into the air. High up into the sky.
It was nice up here.
Quiet, happy, no sadness, just freedom. We few over the mountains and over the lake again.
When we got back my father smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, my sweet Daugther"
I smiled.
"By the way, I agreed with Snape that you would come home twice a month and then we would practice all sorts of spells together. Agreed?"
" Yes, definitely"
It was soon evening again
My father got up the mountain without saying a word. I followed him.
" Where are we going ?"
"You'll see soon enough"
When we finally got to the top of the mountain the sun set.
I sat down on the cliff.
“ Be careful, Y/N, that you don’t fall.”
It was so beautiful, so quiet here.
"Come with me for a moment"
My father opened the door to the hut and went in. I quickly followed.
The cabin was so beautiful, there were pictures everywhere.
My father when he was young with my grandparents.
Then my father with his friends who are now Death Eaters, his most loyal friends. Then me in small.
1 year old in the hut with my father and many Death Eaters.
2 years old also in the hut.
It was clearly my birthday I had a little broom in my hand and in the next picture I was flying on the little broom.
A picture of Draco and me when we were 3 and many more.
I turned away from the photos and saw a cake sitting on the table.

Next to it were Nagini and Penney. I stroked both of them.
I looked at my father
" Thank you for everything"
We ate a piece of cake and sat on the sofa and opened a book. There were so many family photos.
At the back were names of fallen Death Eaters.
After 1 hour my father said "Come on Y/N we must go now. "
We apparated into the night and emerged in a meadow. You could see the stars particularly well here.
I sat down and watched the stars. We came home very late and the whole house was quiet.
I went to bed immediately.
