Slytherin Heiress ☑

-1-

"Mother! Breakfast is ready!" I called and waited. It seems she is still not up. I went up to the window and opened the curtains which she hates the most.

She groaned covering her face with blanket.

"Mother!" I pulled her blanket.

"Master! There's someone at the door," when our house elf, Teeny said, mother sat upright on the bed as if she was faking the sleep.

"Is it August going on?" she asked.

"My birthday is coming soon, so yeah," I said happily. Suddenly, I heard knocking sound on the window.

I was freaked out because it was second floor but it was an white owl carrying a letter in its claw. I always wondered why did letters never got claw marks on them.

I opened the window for the owl to come in. It rested on the lamp table beside the bed while mother examined the envelope.

"I knew this day would come..." she sighed and tore it open while I went to the kitchen and got some biscuits for the owl.

I fed the owl while it growled happily. These animals are just so cute and adorable!! But as mother put down the letter, the owl opened its wings and flew back through the open window.

"It's time, you will attend the school from this September," mother said gritting her teeth. She was never happy with me. I never knew what bothered her about me but my mother never even liked me. I was treated just the same way as Teeny. I wondered why but sometimes I thought, may be daughters are treated this way. But I always felt bad when she was not happy with me.

Did I do something wrong?

"You mean Hogwarts? Finally I'm attending school!" I said happily and danced around with Teeny who said, "Delphini is happy! Teeny is happy!" and put her cutest and sweetest smile on her face which made me even more happy.

"It's time to open the vault. If it wont open, you're not attending school anywhere, I am not wasting any more money on you," mother said bitterly, coming out of the bed to her drawer.

She enchanted something and the locked drawer came out of its place. She took out something - a partially rusted gold plated metal key.

"Take this, keep safely. We are going out after the breakfast," she handed me the key and went to the bathroom.

The key had a unique antique shape with nearly 3 inches in length engraved 666 at the top. I got sudden goosebumps when I remembered that 666 was the symbol of devil. Why would anyone particularly choose this number when you have many more options?

I got ready with my favorite outfit and went down to wait for mother. She came down with her car keys and tossed to me. "Just get the car ready, I will be there in a minute,"

I drove the car till right in front of the driveway. Is it okay for a 10 year old to drive the car? But actually the truth is I never drove it technically, what I do is just use magic. I know, magic needs wands but I don't know how does this happen with me, it just happens.

Mother came in the car and I went to the passenger seat and mother started the car and it flew off to the bright sunny morning light.

Gringotts gave me a feeling that I had been here before. When I came in front of the vault 666, I remembered one incident. I was too small at that time, but I partially remember that scene.

It was I guess nearly 5 years back when I came to the same place. I remember my mother carrying me up to fit my hand under a flip open panel and tried casting some spell. But I don't remember anything more than that. I don't even remember what happened after that.

I touched the square part which was supposed to be the flip open panel and I was not mistaken. The shape of the hand had increased as my hand right now. Mother handed the key to the goblin who took us to the vault and he inserted the key in the key hole and told me to put my hand.

I did as I was told but nothing happened.

I removed my hand and put it again but still nothing happened.

Is it possible that it stopped working? But this is not of muggles, its a wizard bank. How could that be possible?

"May be there's a code?" The goblin said. "Code? What could it be?" Mother thought. "May be your name?" Mother said.

"Delphini. I am Delphini. Hello? Please open?" I tried but it didn't work either.

Mother sighed. Then suddenly something struck my mind.

"I am Delphini,"

I repeated. I don't know why did I say that. But it made some change. There was a scattering sound of metallic things all around the door. When the sound stopped, I pushed the door a little and it opened.

"It worked!" I turned to smile at mother and noticed that she was frozen with shock along with the goblin.

"I should have known this could be possible..." mother whispered.

"Parseltongue..." the goblin whispered after her.
