The Cursed Girl

The Funeral

God, I'm such an idiot! UGH, I hate life! I hate everything!

I get to the funeral and I see Nymph and Edward, she looks a little too excited to be at a funeral but they are seeing me and Remus for the first time in 2 or 3 months or something. I hop off my broomstick and Edward runs to me. I pick him up and hug him.

"I needed a hug, especially from you." I whisper.

"I missed you." Eddy whispers back.

"Me too." I put him down and hold his hand. Nymph comes up and hugs me. I hug her with one hand, and that's when I notice a letter in her hand, a familiar-looking letter. 

"I got something in the mail today. It's for you darling." Nymph holds out the letter. I let go of Eddy's hand and grab the letter to open it.

It reads; "To Cyrus Trixy Cia Lestrange, I, Madame Olympe Maxime, Headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, would like for you to consider my offer of coming and joining my Academy, we have a dorm and a schedule ready for you, please write back to me within this week. Your headmaster Dumbley-door has already been informed. I hope you accept my offer." I fold the letter back up and swallow.

"I'm considering it." I sigh.

"You're really considering leaving Hogwarts?" Remus hops off his broom.

"It's a thought." I put the letter in my white bra that has tiny caterpillars on it. "Let's get this over with." I sigh with a roll of my eyes.

We stand around a grave Edward latches his hand around mine, a bunch of other witches and wizards are here. Mostly all old death-eaters. I couldn't help but think I would probably be a death eater if Voldemort was alive... but then someone starting speaking; "We are gathered here today because someone we all love has passed on. We cherish the little moments we had with her. Bellatrix's' daughter is here with us today. If you'd like to say a few words. You may." The man looks at me.

Everyone then looks at me. I gulp and let go of Edward's hand. I walk up to where the man was standing. I nod and everyone nods back. "Uh, so, I didn't know my mum. I was born in Azkaban and only my mum wanted me, not my dad. So naturally, I was given away to my dad's friends. But I did hear wonderful stories of my mother. I heard she was extremely powerful and strong. Maybe one day I'll become just as strong and powerful as her. When my father saw me for the first time in... 14 years. He said I looked exactly like my mother just without the curly hair. Then he showed me some pictures and I carry one around with me all the time. It's like she's always with me in a way... Anyway, I will miss her, even if I didn't know her. Thank you for letting me talk...I guess." I nod and walk back. 

"Thank you for those words, Miss Lestrange. She would be very proud to see her daughter be such a beautiful young witch. Bellatrix was always proud of her family. Even if she didn't show it. Bellatrix was an amazing student and a hard worker. If she weren't in Azkaban she would try everything to put her family together, she did hear of her daughter's accomplishments through mail. From our very own Nymphadora Lupin." He smiles proudly. 

"Tonks." Nymphadora corrects. 

I smirk and look down at my feet. "Sorry, ma'am. Now, to honor her death. Wands up." The man says. I look up and everyone has their wands in the air besides Eddy. 
(Sorry I don't know for sure if they do this) 

I grab my wand and point it up to the sky. A single tear falls from my eye burning my cheek. My wand lights up and marks the sky. Everyone gasps, including me. 

I put my wand down as fast as possible. "Cyrus?" Remus says.

"Sorry, everyone...I don't know why my wand marked the sk-"

"She's cursed." A lady says. 

"Oh, poor thing." Another lady says. 

I look up at the mark in the sky. "It's like a reflection of my scar." I shake my head disapprovingly. 

"Ok, everyone. There is food in the gathering room." The man says and walks to the gathering room. It's a single room in a tiny building. 

~~~

We all eat inside the building. "What you thinkin' about?" Nymph says, sitting down with Remus and me. 

"Thinking about my mum. And that mark in the sky. And the single red tear from my eye before the mark happened. But mostly my mum." I answer. 

"That was strange. I'll read up on that when we get back to Hogwarts." Remus says. I look at him and gulp.

"I'm not going." My voice has an assured but deep tone. 

"What?" Remus says. 

"I'm going to Beauxbatons, I've considered it. And I realized how much fun it was there. I always said 'if I get a chance to go back there I would' and here's my chance! So I'm going. Plus they have a wonderful library. I could find more answers about my scar and how to get rid of it." I smile. "Plus I just sent the owl with my acceptance letter to Madame Olympe Maxime." I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I reopen my eyes.

"When." Remus sounds mad.

"I said I will attend this coming Wednesday." 

"That's in two days! Today is Monday!" Remus shouts. 

"Yeah I know! It's already done! It's my choice, if you actually loved me you'd say 'ok I support your decision' but none of you love or care! I'm going to pack and say bye to my friends, then I'm going home to Nymph and Eddy and staying there until Wednesday."

I burst out of the gathering room. I get on my broomstick and say bye to Remus, Nymph and Edward. "See you both later, see you, dad." I ride away.
