Chapter 8 ~ The Reaction

Disclaimer: read chapter 1

Looking up from the ground and seeing the look of complete shock on their face turn to disbelief then slowly to anger.

"How...how...how DARE you young lady! You are not my niece, my little niece who I saw as another daughter was taken 15 years ago! There is no trace of her! Get... get out of my house! NOW!"

With that being said to me, it made me realise that I'm not wanted now that they know who I am, and that no one will believe me. Tears streaming down my face as I was walking out of the gates of their manor I found the strength to apparate away, but I have no idea where to go.

To my surprise I'm sitting outside Hogwarts gates. I push them open and walk to the edge of the black lake and let the tears run uncontrollably down my face. What am I to do? If my own aunt and uncle don't want me then there is no doubt that my mother, father and sister would want me. I'm all alone and just wish that i could be with my family. But that is never going to happen, is it? Why can't I just be happy and with my family?

Hayley's P.O.V.

How could my parents be so cruel? They never even gave my cousin a chance to explain herself before they threw her out of our house.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" I screamed at them.

"It wasn't her darling we know for a fact it's not her or we would of been alerted by the family heritage file but we checked it the day before you went to school and she was not on it."

"It is her, im sure of it. I felt the connection instantly!" I screamed back

I can't believe them so i stormed up to the room in the east side of the manor where i knew my mother and father kept the family heritage file. I flipped it open and to my nonexistent surprise she was there. Our little Nikki, our little cousin, was there on the heritage file. I knew it.

"MUM, DAD GET IN HERE, QUICK!"

My mum and dad came running in the room.

"What is it? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, however my cousin may not be! LOOK!"

Mum and dad looked over my shoulder and looked into the heritage file and gasped.

"What have I done? Where is she? I need to find her" dad said

"I don't know where she is, but I know someone who might but she will probably not believe me if we tried."

"Who darling? Who can help us? We need to fix this." Mum said.

"Cousin Bellatrix"

Bellatrix P.O.V

Sitting at home, with nothing to do, I let myself think about my baby sister, one I miss dearly. I wonder if she has been brought up in our world and not with some filthy muggles. However I knew Dumbledore would make sure she was brought up with muggles, so that she was not raised like me, to be a death eater and loyal follower to our grandfather.

Boredom continued and I knew if I continued to think about her I would sink into a depression, one which would take me weeks for me to get out of. I shook myself out of my thoughts and stood up brushing the skirt of my dress off before deciding to apparate to Malfoy manor. With a tight squeezing sensation running through me I landed into the manor just as I heard

"Cousin Bellatrix" coming from my little cousin Hayley

"You called my darling cousin?" I replied with a smug look on her face

"How did you know I needed to speak to you?"

"I didn't, I was coming for a visit anyway" I replied.

Hales hesitated and I looked at her with a raised eyebrow

"Um well we found Nikki..."

"Where is she? Where is my little sister?" I demanded

"well the thing is she left after dad told her to leave as he said she wasn't his niece and we don't know where she is"

"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?! She is my baby sister!"

"I didn't know Bella, I'm sorry" said Lucius

"Sorry, SORRY? That's all you have to say? You're lucky i have an idea as to where she will be!"

With that said i apparated away to the place where I would go to when I was upset or needed a place to think, cause if she is anything like me then this is where she would got. To the Black Lake.
