"My name's Anna Fitzpatrick. I really like your hair! Can I sit here? I'm really exited! Are you exited? None of the rest of my family are wizards or witches! My letter was the first I heard of magic! Are you like me? Are your family all magical? What house do you think you will be in? I hope I'm in Hufflepuff! What's your name, by the way?"

The girl in the door way of my compartment was nuts, I concluded. Who wants to be in Hufflepuff?

Oh well, at least she was talking to me, having lived out of contact with the rest of the world with my mother and sister for the past 10 or so years of my life (which tends to happen when the rest of the world believes your mother to be in Azkaban...) I didn't exactly have any friends. Not to say that we weren't a very close family... but Cassiopeia wasn't here was she?

"Shouldn't you have asked my name first?" I said coldly before continuing. I didn't feel like being nice. She was a Mudblood and wanted to be in Slytherin. Did it get much worse?
"But if you absolutely must know: You can sit here if you don't bug me, no, I'm not exited, no, I'm not like you: I'm pureblood, yes all my family are wizards and witches thank Merlin, I KNOW I will be in Slytherin; why the hell would you want to be in Hufflepuff and my name is Andromeda Black Lestrange. Happy?"
She looked slightly put out for a minute before her little mind started working again. I could see her forming pesky little questions in her mind. Oh no...

"Any relation to Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange? You probably aren't. They sound like the most vile people! No wonder they got sent to Azkaban, torturing and killing people like me for no good reason! Hope they're miserable! I hope they never see the light of day again. People like that don't deserve happiness to be perfectly frank"

"They're my parents."

"Bet you're glad to be rid of them! I can't imagine Bellatrix having much of a maternal side"

That did it. I had my wand out within seconds, I didn't exactly know what I was going to do with it, but whatever I did, I was going to cause this Anna Fitzpatrick pain. Even if it meant poking her in the eye. Then an idea struck me, it was perfect.

"Crucio"

It wasn't the best decision of my life. I nearly got expelled and everyone avoided me. On the Brightside, my mother was so proud she cried and no one ever insulted my parents again.
As for Anna, she got sorted into Hufflepuff but as soon as she could contact her parents she asked to be withdrawn from Hogwarts. She was gone within the week.
