Harry Potter and the Daughter of Azkaban's Embrace

Bellatrix's Legacy

Third Person

At Malfoy Manor, a party is packed with Pureblood Wizards and Witches, several Half-Bloods. A coming of age party is held tonight as everyone who was invited to see it. The Head of the Noble House of Black, Bellatrix Black, is in attendance, hosting the party along with the Malfoy family, including Bellatrix's sister Narcissa Malfoy, her husband Lucius Malfoy, and her son Draco Malfoy. The party is being thrown to introduce Bellatrix Black's daughter, twelve-year-old Druella Black II, as the Heiriess to The Noble House of Black. Druella is known for taking her owl exams early, moving up to Harry's term, and is the youngest in her term alongside her cousin Draco during their years at Hogwarts. They call her The Slytherin Prodigy, well known for her enhanced magical abilities. She is best friends with Harry Potter Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Despite her being in Slytherin they are the bestest of friends. Druella looks at the crowd, unsure what to think. She is nervous, as this is her first introduction to the Wizarding World.

Draco puts his hand on her shoulder, and she jumps. "Drake, don't scare me like that," she scolded softly. Druella looked at the crowd through the door, waiting for her cue. Draco grinned at her. "You're nervous, cousin?" Draco teased Druella playfully. "Without a doubt, Drake. This is new. I never had a party like this. It is nerve-wracking. I have to look nice for my introduction," Druella responded. Draco snickered, "Oh Ellie, you will be fine. Besides, Aunt Bella and Mother made you look decent enough." Druella rolled her eyes as she adjusted her emerald earrings and put her necklace on, the treasured heirloom that Bellatrix gave her on her eleventh birthday. Draco left Druella getting ready. "I have to get going. Mother is expecting. Don't fall on your high heels," he teased Druella, and she rolled her eyes.

Bellatrix chimes her drink and everyone falls silent. She starts her announcement alongside the Malfoys. Bellatrix gestures to Druella, who sighs and smiling as she makes sure she looks presentable before walking to her family. Her beauty resembles her mother, aside from her green eyes. Druella is wearing a black floor-length gown with intricate lace and silk, and her emerald earrings shimmer in the candlelight—a gift from her aunt Narcissa Malfoy. Her hair is styled in an elaborate flowing down on her back adorned with elegant silver pins. As she walks to her mother, everyone looks at her beauty. Narcissa Malfoy looks proud, but Lucius the head of the Malfoy Manor holding his staff he gives Druella a sneering look and whispers, "You better make us look good. Remember you the sole heir to the Nobel House of Black act like it." In response, Narcissa gives him a signal to drop the face and whispers, "Just wait till the party is over. Given what happened at school, and you're outside activities looks like we have to have another conversation."

Lucius dropped his face and gulpped. He knew what that meant another fight and beating from Narcissa. Narcissa has done it before but after The Chamber of Secrets incident and Dobby being given a sock. It's been worse than before Narcissa focused on Draco fixing his tie. Bellatrix grabs Druella holding her by her shoulders. "Behold my daughter Druella Black II!" Heiress to our noble house." Everyone started applauding as they saw Druella she looked posed "Thank you, Mother." She smiled at Bellatrix looking at her beaming with pride. Bellatrix say on her chair like it's a throne showing off her statues. Druella is by her side keeping her poster in check. Bellatrix is wearing her blossom pendent as she looks at Druella with pride. She touches her blossom pendent looking at her daughter. "Oh Black Blossom I'm so proud of you." She turned to her mother as she was touching her pendent. "Oh how you became the Slytherin Prodigy. Moving up to Draco's year I am so proud of you. I taught you well you excelled more then I thought." Druella smiles slightly at Bellatrix. She turns to Lucius as he is giving her a cold expression.

Bellatrix continues "You're loyalty to our family is unwavering. You're beauty shines tonight as the night reflects you're future beside me. As you are right now standing beside me at this moment." Druella glances at Lucius he is talking to a man at the party. "Druella." Druella turned back to Bellatrix. "Druella you really are the perfect daughter." She grasping her wrist "Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." They looked at each other gazing at each other. Bellatrix brown eyes and Druella's green eyes, they glance at each other. Druella's face is slightly red. While Bellatrix has her wicked look adoring her daughter. She stood up with a long black ribbon. "Druella turns around." Druella turned around as her mother ordered. Bellatrix fixes up her hair, pulling up part of her hair into a slight ponytail. Adding the black ribbon, it flows down on her raven hair. Cascading down Druella back she turns around. Her hands clasped together gazing at her mother. Bellatrix checking her work smiles "There you're gorgeous can you give me a smile." Druella listens and gives her a smile. Bellatrix sits back on her throne like chair crossing her legs. One hand grasped at the armrest, the other stroking her blossom pendent. Druella places her hand to her mother's hand, and her eyes cast forward. Showing her respect, mirroring her mother's posture as they observe the party.
