Part 2

Paulien: *Comes home* Mum, dad? Anyone?

Astoria: *Calls from the kitchen* In here, dear!

Paulien: *Runs to the kitchen* Mum, mum.. Remember what I told you about Fenna? Well.. She says that her mums last name's Black. Do you know anyone who has a daughter called Fenna in our family?

Astoria: *nods* The Blacks are a close relation to the Malfoy’s, why do you ask?

Draco: The Blacks are my cousins, doll. *Comes into room behind them*

Paulien: *Turns around* But why can’t she tell anything? *Confused*

Draco: Because that would break her Vow, she’d die. What do you want her to tell you?

Paulien: Because I want to help her!

Draco: Yes, doll. But WHAT do you want to know? *Stands behind Astoria*

Paulien: I want to know who her parents are and why she cries a lot and why she acts so mysterious...

Draco: *sighs* Best not to meddle.

Astoria: *shakes my head* The Blacks have always been a mysterious family.

Draco: *shudders thinking of Bellatrix* Don't like to think of the Blacks if I'm honest.

Astoria: *looks at Draco and nods* The Blacks are a different breed of Witches and Wizards.

Paulien: Why?

Draco: *eyes go cold* The War.

Paulien: But... *Silent*

Astoria: *shivers thinking about the war* It’s better that way.

Paulien: But I want to help her! I want to know why she's crying! I want... *silent*

Astoria: *Grabs Draco’s hand feeling him tense behind me* You can't know, death is almost certain if you do.

Paulien: But I WANT to! Don’t you understand? I'm the only friend she got! I'm her BEST friend! I HAVE to help her!

Astoria: *sighs, looking at Draco* How do we make her understand?

Paulien: *looks at Draco*

Draco: *shrugs* I don’t know, doll. *looks deep into her eyes* Tell her about Bella.

Paulien: *looks at Astoria*

Then they hear something running away from the house.

Paulien: *turns around quickly*

Draco: *glances out window* What the hell was that?

Paulien: I don’t know... *looks scared*

Than they heard somebody Apparating.

Draco: *grabs Astoria’s hand* Why was someone in the garden...

Paulien: *is nervously pacing* I'm really scared now...

Draco: *rolls eyes* Don't be scared. Astoria and I can handle whoever it is.

Paulien: Don’t roll your eyes! I’m really scared! *angry and scared*

Draco: Look, doll, we can handle this.

Astoria: *Looks back worried*

Paulien: *looking out the window*

Astoria: *looks back nervous* Draco, what’s there?

Paulien: What is that?

Draco: *sighs, drawing wand and opening door* Wait here, everyone.

Paulien: Ok.... *looks out the door*

Astoria: *carefully peaks through the door, watching nervously*

Draco: Lumos! *lifts wand high, and searches garden* Can't see anything.

Paulien: Strange... *looks at Astoria*

Astoria: *nods looking back* This is odd.

Draco: *sighs, coming back inside* Lets just forget it.

Paulien: Ok... but you wanted to tell me something about Bella??

Draco: *sighs and looks at Astoria* You should tell her. I can’t bring myself to.

Astoria: *holds Draco’s hand* We can't tell her for her own safety.

Paulien: NO!! I have to know it! *looks sad* Why can’t you just tell what happened?!

Draco: Why?

Paulien: 'Cause I have the right to know it! *angry*

Draco: *sighs* I was put through a lot, during the war. Your mum escaped to France.
Astoria: *looks down, trying not to yell, says through clenched teeth* You can't know! That’s final!

Draco: *nods a hand on Astoria’s shoulder* Yes, that’s final.

Paulien: It's not fair! You're just cowards! *trying to run away*

Draco: *narrows eyes slamming door and shutting you in the room* We are NOT cowards. How DARE you.

Paulien: Why don’t you tell me anything then?! You're just cowards! *angry* *crying*

Draco: *grabs her arm* *hisses angrily* I am NO coward, how DARE you? *loses temper and pushes himself away from her to stare at Astoria* Explain to her.. I'm no coward..

Astoria: *Eyes widen sighing softly* We are trying to keep you safe.

Paulien: Then don’t! I can handle it! I'm a pureblood too! I can do magic, I can... *silent*

Draco: *slams table* It’s got nothing to do with your blood status you foolish little girl..

Paulien: Then WHAT is it?! I'm old enough! You just have to tell me! Please!!! *crying*

Astoria: *looks at Draco* Please, handle her.

Paulien: You don’t have to handle me! You just have to TELL me!! I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT! *angry*

Astoria: *raises an eyebrow* Who exactly are you talking to, Miss?

Paulien: I’m sorry, mum. But I want to know it!
Draco: You are too young, you are being a nasty little brat, accusing me of things you have no concept of.
Paulien: *crying* *wants to walk out of the room...*

Draco: *hisses* Sit the hell down.

Paulien: *cries louder* What is it?! Do you want to tell me the story? Oh no.. Sorry I'm to young!!

Draco: Hush your mouth, young lady.

Paulien: I'm sorry... but I'm a bit nasty... *brutal tone*

Draco: *voice is low and dangerous* Astoria. I'm going to totally freak in a second. Take my wand.

Astoria: *narrows eyes* Draco calm down dear she doesn't know any better.

Paulien: MUM?!

Draco: *rolls eyes, tapping table* I'm trying, doll, but she's being a bi-brat.
Paulien: Mum... what's he going to do?! *scared, still tears on my cheek*

Draco: *takes a deep breath* Don't cry.

Astoria: *rolls wand in my hand, sighs* Stop crying, please.

Draco: I can't stand crying. Merlin, Tori, I can't take this.

Paulien: Give me one good reason WHY? Why can’t I know it?

Astoria: Well for one it could mean your death!

Paulien: Why? Did you make an Unbreakable Vow too?! *confused*
Draco: Girl are you retarded? *rolls eyes* YOUR life. Not ours.
Paulien: I know, but mine is not so important as your life!

Draco: Your life isn’t as important as mine? What ARE you on about?

Paulien: I love you dad, and I love you too mum. But I just want to help Fenna!

Draco: *rolls eyes* You can help her without acting like a two year old.

Paulien: What?! *angry*

Draco: You're being immature and running your mouth about something you know nothing about.

Paulien: But…

Draco: *sighs* But, what?

Paulien: Nothing. *sighs* *walks out of the room*

Draco: *lets her go*

Paulien: *going to her room* *crying*

Draco: *stays in the kitchen* 

-A Few Minutes Later- 

Astoria: *sighs grabbing Draco's hand* I'm not sure if she will ever understand, dear.

Draco: *squeezes your hand* I don't like to remember.

Paulien: *Walks into the room**dries her tears*

Astoria: *sighs dreading the possible argument squeezing Draco’s hand*

Paulien: What’s wrong?

Draco: I just... *sighs* I don't like talking about the war, Paulien.

Paulien: Ok… but what has Bella to do with the war, if I may ask. *shy*

Draco: *looks at Astoria* Is she serious?

Paulien: Yes, I'm serious! You won't tell me anything, remember?! *angry again*

Astoria: *still gripping Draco’s arm* Bella was *sighs* a part of the war we all try and forget.

Paulien: But…

Astoria: *shakes head speaking louder* She is part of the war we'd all like to forget!

Draco: *nods slowly, looking at table*

Paulien: I'm sorry... I'll figure our myself what happened... *irritated*

Draco: *sighs* Astoria.. you should tell her about Bella. But not the girl.

Astoria: *narrowed eyes* She isn't part of my family, Draco. If you want her to know you tell her, I will have no part in telling her about the involvement of the Bella and her.. *looks down falling silent*

Paulien: Her what?

Draco: *looks at her* She's old enough. It's history. She should know. And Astoria, you're Pureblood. You're related to her.

Astoria: *rolls eyes* I keep trying to disown her remember she's pure-evil I'm Pureblood there’s difference.

Draco: *rolls eyes looking annoyed* OH, because I reaaaaly want to claim her as my dear darling auntie!

Astoria: *sighs heavily* I don't think anyone wants claim the mistress of evil Draco.

Paulien: Auntie?!

Astoria: *flails hands* Evil that’s what she is! She was the Dark Lords go to woman before and during the war. She's killed tortured innocent Witches and Wizards! *sits down covering her face* There now you know.

Draco: *rubs your back* Sorry, Astoria. Yes, Paulien. She's my aunt. But she is no relation to you and she’s dead and gone now. She killed Sirius Black. She tortured the Longbottoms. And she tortured Granger.

Astoria: *holds my stomach and head in pain and knots from remembering the war* She is was terrible.

Paulien: I'm sorry... *crying* I'm so, so sorry.... *sobs* *falls down on the floor**confused*

Draco: Why are you sorry?

Paulien: For asking... *tears rolling down her cheek*

Draco: Why are you on the floor looking confused?

Paulien: Because I can't imagine.. that.. that she's your aunt...

Astoria: *waves my wand for a glass of water and tissues hover next to you* Don't cry sweetie, please…

Paulien: But.. *sobs* why did she do that? Did she tortured you too?

Draco: Yes.

Paulien: *hyperventilating* I.. can't...

Astoria: *stands up quickly**goes to Paulien* All of us, it didn't matter who you were, her evil sadistic behaviour. *breaths heavy*
Paulien: *crying* But how can it be that Fenna is so nice then?
Draco: *frowns* What has Fenna got to do with Bella?
Paulien: Well... I think that she's her.... *sobs* daughter.... *swallows*
Draco: *shakes head* Bella never had children.
Astoria: *my head jerks up* Draco, if she had a daughter… how, when, with who? *covers mouth* Oh my Godric.
Paulien: So.. she had a daughter? *confused*
Astoria: *shakes head* That’s impossible, she was never with child to my knowledge.
Draco: If she's a Black she could have been Sirius', Regulus', my mothers.. or Andromeda's.
Astoria: *giggles* Well she clearly isn't your mother's, Draco. Though Sirius… I remember reading that in Rita's column, that he had a child on the way but then was sent to Azkaban. *nods tapping my finger*
Draco: *smirks* Sounds very Sirius to be honest... *sighs* Well. From what my mother told me, I would say it sounds like him.
Astoria: *nods slowly*
Paulien: But dad... maybe she DID kept a secret. And has a child!! It's possible right?!
Draco: *shakes his head* Not really, doll.
Paulien: Oh.... *looks down*
Astoria: *smiles softly* Go talk to Fenna, Draco and I have something we need to discuss.
Paulien: *confused* Should I write a letter to her?! What do I have to ask her then? She can’t tell me anything!
Draco: She cant tell you anything? At all? Why don't you leave the girl be?
Astoria: *sighs* She can tell you now, you know about Bella we have to go talk to Narcissa.
Paulien: Ok... *walks out of the room*
