Chapter 2:

Celia Lestrange woke to find Neferti wasn’t by her side. She was sure he hade been there last night. She pulled up the covers and dressed into her usual black dress and left her hair un-brushed, like usual. She made her way down the hallway on the third floor looking for her slithery companion. She found herself making her way to Draco’s room. She heard a large bang and then a hiss and went running towards her cousin’s bedroom.

When Celia opened the door she found her cousin whimpering on the floor and Neferti towering above him.

“What are you doing?” she hissed in parseltounge and both Neferti and Draco looked at her.

“The boy annoys me!” hissed the snake. Celia looked from Neferti to Draco and then to back again and burst out laughing.

“What are you laughing at, your bloody snake tried to kill me!” Draco spat but this only brought more laughter from Celia. Neferti didn’t move so neither did Draco. After for Draco what seemed like forever Celia stopped laughing,

“What happened?” she asked.

“YOUR SNAKE TRIED TO FUCKING KILL ME!” shouted Draco. Celia glared at him and turned to Neferti

“what did he do?” she hissed. The snake looked away from Draco.

“He attempted to hex me”. Celia looked at Draco

“why did you try to hex Neferti!” she spat. Draco couldn’t believe it; his cousin was choosing a snake over him! Draco turned to Celia angrily

“He tried to kill me!” said Draco a little more calmly, trying to plead his case.  Celia shook her head

“I’ll leave it up to you two” she said starting to walk out.

“Celia!” Draco said angrily, she looked back at her cousin and Neferti and sighed,

“Come Neferti, find someone else to play with”. At this the snake slithered out the door after it’s master giving what Draco saw as an evil glare just before it slithered round the corner.

Meanwhile Bellatrix was with her sister Narcissa walking through the hallways on the first floor.

“Bella, do you think our children are safe at Hogwarts this year?” asked Narcissa. Bella looked at her wild-eyed

“of course they are Cissy, they are with our kind and serving the dark lord, they should be proud!” she replied viciously.

“What about those auror’s children, they could attack Celia or Draco”, Narcissa was worried for her son but her husband Lucius wasn’t concerned the slightest, at the moment he was more concerned about himself.

“Celia and Draco are perfectly capable of protecting themselves” replied Bellatrix

“but...” started Narcissa before Bellatrix interrupted

“you worry to much Cissy, are you not honored that your child is serving the dark lord!” she spat. This seemed to shut her up so they continued on their way in silence.

Celia went to her room to collect her suitcase because she and her cousin would be leaving for the Hogwarts express soon. She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked to much like Bellatrix Lestrange, she would never get Potter to trust her if she looked like one of the enemy. She cast a spell and altered a few of her facial details; she turned her black eyes green and made her face more round. And as a final touch her Black messy hair turned light brown and straight. You could still see that it was Celia but the Bellatrix in her didn’t stand out as much. She checked that everything was ready and made her way downstairs to the fireplace.
