Just You And Me [Theodore nott]

safety

After meeting Cassiopeia was left alone with the dark lord , she had a question in her mind that she wanted to ask from him " where's uncle regulus ? He is not writing that often , I haven't seen him the whole break , I know he is busy with something but I just wanted to know if he's okay " the dark lord nodded understanding and told her " regulus is out on a mission for not only me but the order " cassiopeia's face visibly paled

" He's not going to betray you father , he knows the consequences and I assure you that he's your most loyal confidant " the dark lord nodded again and continued " long ago I trusted someone like you trust regulus , I put my whole faith in her I worshipped her , I loved her , but the moment she realised what was actually happening she left me she went away and never came back ,I needed her and I felt pathetic that i depended on her for so much , since then I have been very careful with whom I trust and I suggest you the same , for regulus he will be punished if his loyalty is questioned but I know that it won't come down to that " Cassiopeia simply nodded understanding his statement

" I also wished to talk about other horcruxes father " the dark lord nodded

" Of course , my journal from my school's days was destroyed as you know , I made nagini a horcrux last year , the diadum of ravenclaw , Hufflepuff cup , Salazars locket and the gaunt ring are safe as of now " Cassiopeia spoke up

" Why seven , why not less or more " he answered " it's a number I consider powerful , lucky anything you'd like to say , I created the dark magic no one could , and I can see that you inherited it I suggest you to make a horcrux too as your lord , but as a father I don't want to see you rip your soul apart , I didn't ask Artemis to take Love potion for the same reason i never wanted to see my daughter go through the emptiness I went through , I didn't realise it untill I found your mother how empty of emotions I have been , and I'd never want you to experience that " Cassiopeia smiled at him, she knew that he hasn't been there for her forever but he loved her like his daughter not just a weapon .

" Love is not a weakness delphini but making it a distraction is , your love for Theodore is pure but your mission is to serve me as my daughter , as for him he'll attend to his duty , I won't mark him yet and I don't need to mark you because we are already connected and we both know dark magic to connect to each other at any time , the engagement ball is as soon as you finish the task at ministry , I won't pull you out of hogwarts I have some work for you ,but I'll make sure you are safe " Cassiopeia stood up from her seat

" Thank you father , I'll look for the time turner and other possible allies , I'll always remember your wise words "

With that Cassiopeia made her way out of the room , she saw Draco and took him to her room at the dark manor ,

" Hey Draco , how are you , you don't look good these days" Draco said nothing but just stared at the floor , his eyes were brimming with tears as Cassiopeia hugged him " hey hey , I am here dray it's fine " Draco hugged her back and sobbed into her shoulder

" I can't do this , Avery told me that if father won't complete his task then I'll have to pay for it , he'll initiate me Cassie , I don't want to I am scarred " Cassiopeia pulled back a little and wiped his tears
" I am not going to let anything happen to you dray , you are my brother , my best friend and I'm here okay I'll handle everything " Draco looked up to Cassie and nodded
," Let's get downstairs yeah , everyone's waiting for us "

Cassiopeia and Draco reached the bottom , when she was encountered by Bellatrix , she bowed towards Cassiopeia
" My lady "

" Aunt bella , how can I help you ?" Bellatrix smiled at her in a wierd manner and said " Reggie told me that the wedding arrangements are left to be dealt with , considering there's less than an year left , I would like to help you, with your consent of course "
Cassiopeia didn't want Bellatrix to help her , she didn't want to have a black gown instead of white she groaned internally and said

" Of course aunt bella I would love you help , I have something in mind and I'll have to ask father first and as soon as uncle regulus gets back we'll start the preparation " with that Bellatrix nodded and went away .

Far away she saw rabastan , lost in his world focused on the door to somebody's room , she decided to go over to him and ask if he was fine.

" Rabastan ?" He didn't turn his head but a hint of smile appeared on his face " Cassie , did you know that your mother loved to dance ?" Cassiopeia gently shook her head as the smile on rabastan's face grew a little more

" She used go out in the rain hiding from walburga , and danced and laughed , in school once I had the privilege to witness it the first time after she won the quidditch match over Slytherin , I just stood there until she looked at me and gave the most beautiful smile " almost a rush of sadness hit Cassiopeia looking at the heartbroken man who was standing next to his lover's daughter who was not his

" I have never been mad at art , I tried and tried , to just say what she did was wrong , I can't , I just can't , the same way Cassie I can never hate you for not being my daughter , instead I love you for being a part of the most beautiful memory of my life "

Cassiopeia hugged rabastan , he was taken back a little but held her firmly , finally they broke out of the hug as Cassiopeia and Theodore went back to nott manor .
