Then he stiffens and turns to me. I stare at them.

"Get out." I point at the door.

"You too, Draco. I know that you have been eating." I snap. They all slowly leave and I stare out the window, not touching the food that slowly turns moldy.

Then Narcissa starts sitting with me, telling me about her day, Draco and the dog she's gonna get me when I get healthier. She's gonna take me on a shopping spree so Voldemort doesn't torture me again.

She gets me to eat at least one sandwich per day and she smiles when it happens. Other than that, it is the most I eat. Then she adds an orange and I eat it to make her happy.

"I wanna teach you how to knit." She says. I slowly nod and she teaches me to knit.

Day after day after day until I have made 2 rainbow colored blankets. One for me and one for the elf that watches over me when Narcissa can't be there.

The elf, Izzy, loves it.

"Now I has a blanket so I's don't get cold." She smiles and makes me drink a cup of orange juice.

"Good girl." Izzy says as I finish every last drop. Then Volde-- my father and Bella--- my mother walk in and sit in the chairs across from me.

Izzy watches my hands.

I've taken to digging my nails into my skin and making myself bleed. Somehow, I manage to make my nails sharp after they cut them.

"How are you doing Mariella?" Father asks.

I say nothing. Oh, I don't speak anymore, so Izzy and Narcissa have been teaching me sign language.

I shrug. "Okay." I sign language. They glance at each other.

"Elf, how is my daughter?" Bellatrix asks Izzy. I glare at her.

"She has been eating and she made me a blanket." She says, smiling. Draco walks in and when I glare at him, he walks right back out.

"What is going on there?" Voldemort asks.

"He made her very angry." She tells him. I hold my hand out, staring at it until the egg reappears. The snake egg. I hold it close and it starts to move.

I smile at it and it hatches, my baby basilisk looking around until it sees me. Then it slithers out of it's egg and around my arm until it touches the center of my palm.

My palm burns for a second before I see a silver mark on my palm.

The baby snake then falls asleep in my hand.

"You shall be called Mercy." I whisper.

The snake smiles in her sleep. Bellatrix comes closer and looks at the snake.

"Basilisk. Very dangerous. Will be like the one we found a long time ago, in the Chamber of Secrets." She looks at my father.

"Mariella, do you feel like-" Narcissa stops when she sees my parents

"My Lord, Bellatrix." She curtsies.

"I was coming to ask Mariella is she wanted to go shopping today." She explains when they look at her.

"I would love to." I whisper softly.

They all stare at me until she smiles.

"Let's get you ready then." She pulls out her wand.

It is pretty. Black Wood with silver designs.

"What to wear?" She asks me.

"Jeans. Black Vieled Brides Sweatshirt, Black Heels." I whisper. She waves her wand an I am instantly dressed.

An aquarium filled with snake things appears. I carefully set Mercy down and put the lid down after I open the lid for the mouse to come out of it's box. Then I take Narcissa's arm and she takes me to the alley she told me about. Diagon Alley.
