"Stop." The man called from the shadows.
In spite of the man's threats, she continued running. For if she was caught it would be the end of the world. As she was in labor, and the rain came pouring down, she felt the most pain. Both physical and emotional. It was hard for her to stop her tears from running down her cheeks because she feared she wouldn't survive. There wasn't a thought in her head other than getting to the Orphanage.
Seeing the man close behind her, the woman had to turn the corner. She drew her wand and twirled it in a spiral motion. She managed to make herself invisible by casting this disillusionment charm. The man slowly. walked. around. the corner.
The man wore an all-black fedora, suitcoat, and pants. The shine from his shoes were so clear that you could see the tiniest mole on your face.
"You can't hide forever..." The man said.
She knew that he was trying to scare her, but not even his wit could outsmart her. She looked down at her hand realizing that the charm was starting to wear off. So, her eyes followed his shiny shoes down the alley and once his back was turned towards her, she slipped away.
The charm spell didn't help since the man heard her splashing in the rain as she ran. So, he dashed after her. It was no use because the woman was too far away. That's when he pulled out his wand.
"Confundus!" The man said missing the woman completely.
When the man cast a spell towards her, the woman blocked it, even if he managed to aim the spell directly at her. However, the woman was able to see the port key that would transport her to the Orphanage. Usually, she isn't a very emotional person, but everything happened so suddenly and so fast. It was all hard to digest. Now, she had to do what was right for the baby and for the magical world's future.
"Avada kedavra!" The woman shouted at the man.
The man had no chance and died right at the spell hit him. The woman leaped for the port key and transported right in front of the Orphanage. She ran as fast as she could to the back door and knocked relentlessly on the door. Opening the door was a nurse in her late 40s, with black hair (worn in a low bun), average height, pale skinned and wore a white nurse outfit.
"Delphini, are you-" The nurse, Euphemia Rowle, said with concern.
"In labor, yes." Delphini said hastily.
"Come in, Come in!" Euphemia said, motioning her to lay on the table.
Delphini has sliver hair with blue tips, fairly tall, and a large tattoo of an Augurey on her back. Augurey is a small greenish-black bird that resembles a vulture and can emit a distinctive low cry. The bird reminds her of her childhood. No, she did not spend her time at Hogwarts, but that doesn't mean she didn't go to a school for magic.
It all started in 1987 secretly at the Malfoy Mannor when Bellatrix Lestrange gave birth to Delphini. Euphemia was there, who helped Bellatrix through childbirth. With a heavy heart, Bellatrix passed her newborn daughter to Euphemia. She looked in her baby girl's eyes and saw Lord Voldemort's, but Bellatrix could only hold her for a second before she was told to let go. Narcissa Malfoy told her it was impossible to bring the baby on their search for the Dark Lord.
So, Narcissa devised a plan to give Delphini to Euphemia Rowle. Euphemia was initially hesitant to take on the responsibility of caring for Delphini. However, once she was offered a generous compensation for her services, she was more than willing to take on the responsibility, with the understanding that she would return the baby once the Dark Lord was in power.
Euphemia took Delphini to Rowle Mannor and gave her own room. The room had a dark, mysterious atmosphere with its black walls and dark grey floor. The bed was a perfect representation of this theme. Decorated in gold and black curtains that gave it the feel of something a vampire would sleep in. Additionally, there was also a dresser lined with gold accessories. In the corner, a cage containing an Augurey was present. It appeared to be weeping, suggesting that it was aware of the unfortunate fate that had befallen Delphi.
Delphini was lying down on the table in distress, feeling pain throughout her body. With hands clenched by her side, she made a fist and started to claw at her palms. Her fingers left deep marks in skin as she fruitlessly searched for something that wasn't there. The memories of her mother's decision to give her up at birth weighed heavily upon her and forced her to make a similar decision; relinquishing her own child to the individual she despised.
"PUSH!" Euphemia yelled at Delphini.
In reaction to Euphemia's comment, Delphini abruptly got up to push and then fell back down. Shortly thereafter, the sound of her baby's crying filled the room.
"It's a boy." Euphemia said neutrally.
"He was right." Delphini uttered softly so Euphemia wouldn't hear.
After delivering the baby, Euphemia quickly cut the umbilical cord and washed the baby. Then, she carefully swaddled him in a large washcloth before giving him to Delphini. Following this, Euphemia assisted her to walk over to the dark green accent chair and then began to leave.
"Where is it you are going?" Delphini asked.
"There are things that are needed to be tended around the house." Euphemia said.
"That's a lie and you know it."
"What is it you would like me to do?" Euphemia said with a rotten attitude.
"Please sit. There is something I must tell you." Delphini spoke as Euphemia sat down, in a chair, next to her.

"Please sit. There is something I must tell you." Delphini spoke as Euphemia sat down, in a chair, next to her.
"What is it?" Euphemia asked.
"I am in a lot of trouble and so is my son," Delphini said gazing at the newborn cradled in her arms lovingly. "I know you were paid to take care of me-"
"How did you-"
"I know you don't like me, but I need your help."
"Delphini, I don't understand why you'd think that of me," she put on.
"Euphemia, I don't hold resentment or ill will towards you," Delphini said honestly, "But I do need you to do it again."
"Get money so I can take care of you again?"
"No," Delphini said with a chuckle. "Not me, him."
"Your son. No, I cannot do that again."
"But after the way you treated me!"
"No, I cannot!"
"Fine. Then put him in the orphanage, but you will still have to watch over him."
"Why is this so important to you?"
"Because unless proactive steps are taken, the entire wizarding world will fall."
"All because of one boy?" Euphemia said truly concerned.
"Yes, he must never go to Hogwarts, he must never know that this magical world exists, and he must never draw any attention to himself. Promise me you'll do this?"
"Despite my personal opinion, I will accept it," Euphemia said.
"Thank you! Thank you, Euphemia. But I need you to do an unbreakable vow," Delphini said joyfully as she handed her baby to Euphemia. Euphemia setting the baby on the table.
The two kneeled and clasped the other's right hand. Delphinium pulled out her wand. She placed the tip of her wand to their hands.
"Do you promise to keep Ven away from the magical world and from the prophecy coming to pass?"
"I do."
Then a thin stream of fire emitted from Delphini's wand and weaved around their hands.
As soon as it was over, Euphemia got up to leave, but she remembered something suddenly.
"What is it you wish him to be called."
"Ven. I wish his name to be Ven."
