"Evana, Evana?" Draco said lightly prodding his cousin. She didn't move but grunted. "Come on, we need to go, get changed!" Draco tried again, Evana turned over and started to snore. "We're going to see your mother!" Draco bellowed and Evana gave in, slowly sitting up.

"No need to shout, Dragon." She yawned sleepily.

"Believe me I did!" He left the room shouting. "Get changed!"

Evana wanted to make her mother proud, she got changed into a long lacy black and grey dress, her grandmother made her for her birthday. She walked down the stairs to see Draco and Narcissa, Draco in a smart suit and Narcissa in a sleek dark blue dress, sweeping the floor.

"You look beautiful darling! Your mother will be so proud!" Narcissa smiled.

"Thanks, where's uncle Lucius?" Evana said politely.

"He won't be able to visit today. Unfortunately he has a very important meeting at the Ministry, about the Triwizard torn-." She stopped herself mid sentence and held a hand to her mouth.

"WHAT?!" The children said, both Evana and Draco have heard of the competition before and amazed to find out more.

"Alright you've got to promise not to say anything until your father comes back, Hogwarts is holding the Triwizard Tournament, you won't be able to compete, you are both too young!" She said seeing their faces.

"why!" Draco snapped.

"It's dangerous, and you two, although you are both talented and smart it is was too risky, I don't want you hurt!" Narcissa hugged the squirming pair. "Come on let's go Bellatrix will be waiting."

They took the floo powder and made their way to Azkaban, they were greeted coldly by two men in smart suits, similar to Draco's.

"Who are you here to visit?" One grunted in a low voice.

"Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange." Narcissa said, holding a piece of parchment.

The men walked for a while "Here." The second one said.

"Thank you." Narcissa waved them off, they left after a while.

Evana looked to see four large cages, all of which contained skinny figures, the first contained Evana's uncle, he was in a corner scratching the walls, the next was a young boy with straw hair, two people were visiting him, speaking quickly and looking scared. The furthest two showed Evana's parents both reaching through the bars to hold hands.

"Mother?" Evana whispered, she ran to her mothers bars. Bellatrix Lestrange dropped her husbands hand and shuffled to her daughter.

"Evangeline?" She said eyes watering.

Evana nodded. "It's me mother." She said, in tears to.

"My baby girl, I missed you so much, I love you. I'm sorry I haven't looked after you like a proper mother, I would do anything to turn back time and look after you" She sobbed cupping her face.

"It's alright mother! Draco, Aunty Narcissa and Uncle Lucius have been looking after me since first year." Evana cried into her mothers hands.

"Cissy, Draco?" Bellatrix looked up to the gaunt faces of her younger sister and nephew.

"Hello, Bella." Narcissa sat beside Evana and stroked her older sister hair with one hand and hugged her niece.

"Cissy thanks so much, Evana is so happy with you, you are the best sister I could have ever asked for!" Bellatrix cried again.

"Evangeline?" Came a cold voice, Rodolphus. There was silence and Evana slowly looked at the gaunt man. She walked over to him, she didn't smile.

"Father." She sniffed.

"Darling, don't be mad at me." He said smiling weakly.

"Alright." Evana said. This was probably the most awkward thing for her.

"You know I love you." Her father said, reaching out to her hair, she flinched at his ouch, it was rough.

Evana knew this was a lie, when she was just a child he got himself in danger with Evana. He was cursing someone, with one year old Evana behind him, giggling with her toy dragon. An auror, Mad-eye moody caught him and dueled. The Gryffindor won and gave him a choice. He was joking to push the new father over the edge.

"Give me the child and you don't have to go to Azkaban." He laughed.

"Alright." He handed over the now crying baby, Moody was astounded.

"How could you Lestrange!" He roared and cradled the girl, she instantly stopped crying and started to giggle. "I'm disgusted, I will take both you and the child to the ministry."

Lestrange was then taken to Azkaban and Evana to her mother.


"You can't love me." She whispered before joining her mother again.
