"You are nothing but an instrument, Delphini. A dagger your parents have whetted over the years. You may believe your cruelty is saintly-righteous-but you are nothing but a vessel for possession. A scared little girl who foolishly believes she is in control."

"And what do you know about my bloodline, my lovely Saint?" Delphini asked. Her tone precariously velvety as she lifted the other witch's chin. "Believe me when I say I do not consider myself a Divinity. Speak what you want about me, Graves, but everything I have done is for you. If that does not prove to you that I am nothing but your devotee, then I do not know what it is that you crave."

She was close enough to summon holy flames against her skin and bones, and something inside of Willhelmena wanted to die for her lover's sins.

Hailing from the House of Graves, Willhelmena "Hell" Graves is a psychic medium that possesses the ancestral ability to see the spirits of the dead. Haunted by the grotesque, she grows frightened with each sleepless night, disturbed by the corpses that infest the corridors of Hogwarts, due to the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War.

With bloody cuticles and dark circles, Willhelmena is urged to seek assistance from the Head Girl and Heiress of Slytherin. Delphini Riddle claims she wishes to repent for her father's crimes and start anew with a sweet temperament, but little does Willhelmena know that the Dark Lord's daughter is not the holy noblewoman she claims to be.
