"Wake up, Mistress Evangeline! Your Mother is calling you." Bonnie, the house-elf told the sleeping eleven year old girl.

"Five more minutes, Bonnie go away." Evana grunted turn onto her left side, she was dreaming about Quidditch and the warmth she was promised in Hogwarts- where she would never go hungry or be left on her own.

"But, Mistress Bellatrix ordered me to wake you." Bonnie pleaded.

"Well I order you to go away, you little squirt!" Evana hissed, Bonnie was hurt, usually the young mistress was kind to her. Evana instantly felt a punch of guilt in her stomach.

"But, Mistress Evana you are going to Diagon Alley to buy your school supplies. Master Draco and his family are going too, you surely do want to miss it." Bonnie pressed on.

"Diagon Alley?" Evana sat straight up in bed.

"Yes Mistress, you shall get changed now, I will leave." Bonnie says, exiting the room.

Evana gets changed, her usual clothes choice, all black. Evana prefers the surname Black, but her Mother never allowed it. You see Bellatrix married into the Lestrange family, and of that she was proud. Her husband was nothing to be proud of but her name was. She thought it was important Evana had the family name before she made an acceptable marriage too. Although Bellatrix knew her husband wasn't the one she truly loved, she did care for him and did her best to honour him as a wife.

Walking down the stairs, she saw Draco, Narcissa and her mother talking, she jumped down behind Draco and scared him.

"Evana!" Draco cries.

"Aw, is little Draki-poo alrighty?" Evana teases.

"Evangeline!" Bellatrix scolds. But her face cracks into a small smile, as does her younger sisters, it was as if they were looking into their past.

"Come on you two let us get a move on, Bella I've brought the floo powder." Narcissa says handing Bellatrix a pot of grey and emerald ashes.

"Evangeline, you first." Bellatrix says handing her the pot. she takes a hand full, the grans tickle the bare of her palm, she throws it onto the rather large fire place and yells:

"DIAGON ALLEY!" She screams, her jet black eyes shut , her midnight hair whirling everywhere. she tucks her elbows in tighter as she sees several houses run past her very eyes. Ash collects on her black blouse and skirt. She lands on her back gasping for air, seconds later Draco arrives soot in his bleach blonde hair. Next Bellatrix and finally Narcissa who tuts about Draco's hair. As Bellatrix shook herself off, she began turning into a brown haired tall woman who had blue eyes instead of green. Evana noticed but her mother gave her a harsh look before nodding her head. Evana stayed quiet and exchanged a look with Draco who rolled his eyes, ignorant to the danger they were all in.

"Where to first?" Evangeline says. She's looking around in awe, her eyes glistening in the warm atmosphere, she's never been to Diagon Alley before. 'Too many Mud-bloods'. That's what her mother always told her.

"Ollivanders?" Narcissa suggests, she had finally stopped fussing with Draco's greasy hair.

"Yes, Cissy. I've got all the money, Evangeline needs, have you got some for Draco?" Bellatrix asks, she wanted to show that she had the means to support her daughter by herself. Narcissa produces a large bag of gold and silver coins only. Both sisters grin. The small family walk to Ollivanders, no one is in there, well it seemed that way.

"Hello, Ollivander?" Narcissa says impatiently, a tall but skinny man slides to them on a long ladder.

"Draco Malfoy," He smiles at Draco, Draco feebly smiles back. "And is this Evangeline Lestrange?" He beams at Evana.

"Yes sir." She says, quite confidently. She makes Draco and Ollivander laugh.

"Who first?" The aged man asks.

"Can I, Evana if you don't mind?" Draco says, Evana smiles at him warmly, and Draco walks up to the front desk, it was very much like Draco to want to be first.

"Master Malfoy could you give me your Quill arm?" Ollivander says fumbling for a measuring tape. Draco holds his right arm out, it gets measured and the wand maker bustles off down to the shelves.

"12 inches, Dragon heart sting, Oak?" Ollivander says holding a wand down to Draco, he takes it, and flicks it, two books fall down from a shelf., thudding on the ground.

"No, not that one." Ollivander mutters, he goes off again. And Bellatrix rolls her eyes. "Who about this?" He hands Draco another wand. He flicks it and green and silver sparks escape it, Both the Black sisters clap.

"Well done Draco." Narcissa smiles, pride in her voice, although she sounded rather sinister.

"10 Inches, Hawthorne and a Unicorn hair center." Mr Ollivander hands Draco a grand green box to put his sleek black wand in it. Draco smirked at Evana looking very proud of himself, as always.

"Now Evangeline your turn." Bellatrix says, in a hushed voice. Evana nods. Before Mr Ollivander can ask she lifts her left arm up for him to measure, he laughs a little. In seconds he darts down the shelves and brings four boxes, one green, one yellow, one blue and one green. Evana smiles at them.

She picks the red one first. She flicks it. An ink bottle spills, she shakes her head and puts it back.

She picks the yellow one. She flicks it the same as the first. Nothing happens, she flicks it again, still nothing. She shakes her head once more.

She picks up the blue one. she flicks it harder. A plant pot quivers. It may be the wand for her she thinks, she flicks it again, the plant pot breaks.

Finally she picks the green wand. Once again she flicks it hard, a snake slithers out of it in ash form and develops into flames resembling a pheonix, this is the wand.

"Yes, yes. 11 inches, Elder, Phoenix feather. that will be 14 galleons please." Mr Ollivander smiles at the young children. Evana's wand has prints of spider webs. They hand over the money and continue the shopping.

"Well that was a long day!" Draco says, they have finally got all the things they need for Hogwarts, both are equipped with pets, Draco has an impressive eagle owl while Evana has a Silver looking kitten. "Mother I'm exhausted." He pouted.

"Yeah." Evana agrees yawning. Diagon Alley is nearly deserted. only few people left. "But a good day." Evana smiles up to her mother, who gives her a short smile back.

Suddenly the air around them grew cold and dark, the happy feelings felt between the two children had slipped away. The black sisters shared a look of dread, Narcissa held onto the children tightly who both looked up at her concerned, both of them unaware of what was about to happen.

"Run!" Bellatrix snaps at the three.

"What?" Narcissa says white with shock, she didn't want her sister to meet the same fate as her brother in law.

"The guards, the dementors they are here for me!" Bellatrix cries. "They must have gotten a tip, I don't know but they've found out!" She looked menacingly around the alley and no one could be found, no one to blame.

"Mother!" Evana whimpers.

"Go,." Bellatrix shouts. "Get out all of you!" She brandished her wand and looked ready to fight.

"Why mother, why now?" Evana asked, crying.

"Narcissa, tell them." Bellatrix pleads. She casted a spell at the trio which pushed them away.

"Bella, can you fight them, the dementors?" Narcissa says scared for her sisters life. Bellatrix nods.

"Eva, darling, Draco go, now." Bellatrix hissed. The children run behind a shop. they see Narcissa follow them.

"Evangeline it will be alright, stay close." Narcissa says, quivering with fear. Evana watches her mother been taken away by black coated skeletons, not before putting up a fight. Her mother tried many times to produce a silver whisky thing but she failed.

"MOTHER!" She screams she tries to follow her, it's too late.
