Meeting The Snakes

       "Go outside and play Estrella."  father commanded, I saw that there was visitors outside our door, I knew that if there was visitors that meant, they were probably ministry workers, they would come to our house every so often in hopes of catching my father guilty on being a death eater, your probably going to think that I would be sad and angry at my father for being a death eater because death eaters killed my mother, but actually I was relieved that he was a death eater because than I wouldn't feel so alone, don't forget I as well bore the dark mark upon my left forearm. My father gave me a cold stare and I realized that I hadn't left yet, I ran out just as he let the ministry workers in, I knew that one more mistake could get me cleaning out the basement, that's how punishments worked in our house like cottage, if I  did something wrong than I would have to clean put the basement, it was a dark and dingy room, with rats everywhere and it smelled like the armpit of a troll, for some reason it was super messy down there and sometimes he made me dust. Father sometimes gave me second chances though like today I had just stalled him from opening the for to aurors from the ministry and if I did anything else bad today then it would be the basement, this was much like detentions in Hogwarts and father said it would help me get used to that so I didn't have too many detentions, I had learned stuff like to not speak when not my turn, and to not ask silly questions and to not change conversations with adults, there was so much more but it would take hours to list all the rules. 

I bent down to the grass inside the fenced off lawn, there I saw. small garden snake, I was black like my hair and I really like it for some reason, "hello you," I cooed to it. 

"Hello Estrella." it replied inclining its small head to me.

"how do you know my name?" I asked shocked, "and how can I speak to you?"

"I know your name because I have been watching you, and you can talk to me because you can speak parseltoungue," I Nodded this seemed reasonable, I was about to say more when my father called mr from the house, 

"Estrella! come here!" 

"I have to go now -----?" 

"Rapsel"

"Well Rapsel I have to go now so see ya later,"I waved goodbye and then ran to the house in hopes of not getting in any more trouble. At the house I saw the two aurors  who were fond of coming to our house, 

" Hello dear, we would like to see your room and we need to talk to you in private." 

I looked to my father but his face was stoney, the only indication that he had even heard or noticed was him give a little nod, in that moment I knew that I would be dafe from these people. we walked to my room and they began asking questions left and right, 

"Dear why is there no windows?" one asked, I was about to say so I wouldn't escape, but that sounded really bad so I lied something I was pretty good at, "because I make potions in here and if muggles were to see, as we do live in a muggle street, if muggles were to see it would make more work for the ministry." I smiled sweetly, the aurors seemed to have nothing left to say, "Well what about the lock on the door?" that would be hard to answer because I had no idea what to say, "lock? what lock?"  I just played innocent, "why the lock right here." the auror gestured to my door, "never used it." I informed them, "must be there from the past residents."

after answering all their questions the aurors left. 

that night after my father had told me a story about mother, he told me what we would be doing tomorrow. 

"Tomorrow you will be learning Occlumency"
