Twisted Fate

Summer Holiday

Belladonna packed her trunk for the summer holiday. She was excited about everything she was getting to do this summer. She heard a knock at her door and opened it. There stood Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Blaise smiles bright on their faces. 

"Did Snape say you could come to the manor for the summer and go to the quidditch world cup?" Draco asked with a smile, Belladonna turned towards her stuff taking out her wand. She said a quick charm and her things began packing themselves. Turning towards the boys she back her want in the pocket of her shorts. 

"Yes and no," She said with a smile crossing her arms. The boys look at each other then back towards the girl. 

"For heavens sakes what does that mean," Blaise said throwing his arms up in the air. The three other boys chuckle around them. The girl smiles shaking her head.

"It means no I can't spend the entire summer at the manor. I am heading to Bulgaria for a month for some dueling. Then when I am back I can join you at the manor," She said with a smile, the boys cheered excitedly that she was able to join them for some of it. They wished the girl well as she headed with her stuff towards her uncle's office. She was turning the corner when she saw Harry and Ron walking towards her. 

"Ah Belladonna, if you aren't quick you'll miss the train," Ron said to her, she smiled at them.

"Actually boys, I won't be taking the train home, but you'll see me on it coming back for school," She said as she adjusted her flannel around her waist. "I am heading to Bulgaria for some of my summers, see you next year," She smiled walking towards the office again, her things following behind her.

"Bloody Hell that girl is attractive," Ron muttered at Harry who was watching the girl walk away.

"She's brilliant isn't she?" He said as they headed towards the train. Belladonna on the other hand reached her uncle's office and slipped inside quietly. However, her uncle noticed right away. 

"Now dear, owl me once you get there," He said smiling as he went to retrieve the port key "I will visit you as soon as I can. Remember you should be at the top of this event." He said chuckling as Belladonna ran towards him hugging him.

"I'll miss you, Uncle Sev," She said looking up at him with a sad smile. 

"I'll miss you too darling, now go learn, have fun, and don't worry about your things I will send them along after you," He said handing her the port key, she smiled kissing her uncle on the cheek taking it in her hands.

******************************************************************************************

The month in Bulgaria flew by for Belladonna. She enjoyed seeing all her old friends again and watching the quidditch terminates just like old times. As for her dueling, she was the top of the students who partook in it. She had learned magic beyond her years and impressed everyone around her. She even bet Headmaster Karkaroff in one of the last duels. Karkaroff adores the girl, even though he despised her uncle. The girl had received letters all summer, one almost every day from Draco. She wrote him back as much as she could, even if it was short and sweet. She had also gotten letters from Goyle, Blaise, Harry, even a few from Pansey and Ron as well. 

Belladonna had grown a lot through the summer due to the rigorous training for dueling. She had lost all of her baby fat, she had developed tones and curves. Her cheekbones more prominent as well as her waist. Her dark curly hair was now longer. However, the girl still stood about 5'6 in height. Today was her last day of dueling, as she would head off to the Malfoy's Manor in the morning. She put on some athletic shorts and a tank top, placing her wand in her shorts, and headed towards the track with the other members. A few who had already started jogging around the track, she meets up with Victor on the track and started to run next to him. 

"So Krum are you excited for the world cup, you know you'll win right," Belladonna asked with a smile, Victor chuckled at the girl. 

"Yes, very excited. Now don't hurt me in dueling today little girl," He laughed out and Belladonna smirked as she jogs faster. After a few laps, they match up for their last duels. Belladonna was to face off against Karkaroff again as no student wanted to duel against her. She got ready for her duel, little did she know that Dumbledore and Snape had come to watch her last duel. Once everyone else had gone, Belladonna stepped up against the platform and met Karkaroff in the middle.

"Now child I won't go easy this time," He chuckled giving her a small side hug, he missed her as a student. 

"Wouldn't have it any other way," She said with a smile returning the small hug. Then they turned towards each other, Karkaroff bowing and Belladonna doing a small curtsy at the man. They then swiftly walked ten paces forward and turned towards each other, Belladonna light holding her wand in her left hand. The moment three was called the dueling started, Spells being cast back and forth without the two murmuring a single word. Belladonna gracefully dodging the spells coming her way. 

"Stupify," She muttered under her breath, this spell hitting Karkaroff straight in the chest. In a quick moment, Belladonna held up her right hand, Karkaroffs wand flying into it. She had put her wand into her shorts as she walked towards the man. Dumbledore and Snape both watch the girl in shock, she was well trained beyond her years. She smiled brightly holding her hand out towards the other headmaster, he took it and smiled.

"You are beyond incredible my dear," He said with a smile holding the girl's hand in the air. She did a slight bow as the group cheered around her. 

"She's incredible," Severus said to the headmaster, he looked at the girl worried. 

"Yes, let make sure her talents don't get into the wrong hands now Severus," Dumbledore said looking again towards the smiling girl. "She is just like her, you raised a fine young lady Severus," Dumbledore said disappearing. Snape made his way over to the girl. 

"Belladonna, well done," He said smiling pulling her into a hug. The girl smiles returning the hug. 

"I am so glad you got to see me duel uncle Sev," She smiled mischievously "Maybe I can bet you in a duel uncle, " This caused the man to chuckle.

"Don't get too cocky now Belladonna," He said with a smile as they headed off to get her things.
