Chapter 5
The next moment two men could be heard shouting in the corridors of the castle. The pain was unbearable draco felt as if hundreds of hot swords pierced through his whole body falling to the ground he tried to get air which also seemed to be taken away from him and next to him his father didn't look even better and you could see sweat pouring down his forehead. Looking at the two, Voldemort had a sadistic smile on his face, he liked how others scream in pain, it's like everything the best music to his ears, satisfied with what the new spell can do, but not really knowing how far he can go with this spell and not wanting to kill them both and with the next one the finger pinch spell stopped and you could hear both of them breathing loudly in the hall where even if you dropped a needle you could hear it.
"I hope this is a lesson for the next time" waving to his soldiers, both of them were dragged out of the hall. Then a woman came out of the shadows and bowed to him.
"I hope you won't let me down like they did Nagini" Voldemort turned back to the throne without turning to face her.
bowing and raising her head looking at him and woman answered "Of course Emperor" bowing once more and turning the woman returned in the shadows to fulfill the task assigned by her emperor.
For these 2 months cassandra trained in swordsmanship together with her uncle, the very first days were the most difficult for the girl, there were tears and sweat, but cassandra did not give up and now slowly the time and effort invested is starting to pay off, as already every morning, cassandra was on the training ground of the villa with Sirius who watched with a sharp eye all the movements that Cassandra made while waving the wooden sword at the mannequin.
"extend your left leg for better stability and don't strain your shoulders so much otherwise you won't get a powerful stroke" said Sirius slowly approaching his sister's daughter.
Stopping what she was doing, cassandra looked at her uncle, inhaling and slowly exhaling, she obeyed and the next stroke of the sword was stronger but still a little clumsy.
"Okay that'll be enough for today" said Sirius taking a towel from the maid and handing it to Cassandra who took it with a grateful nod and began to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Looking at her niece, Sirius said "I'm very proud of you and your parents must be proud too" Cassandra put her head down and looked down and fighting with tears that threatened to flow down her cheeks she blinked her eyes Cassandra raised her head in the air and looked at the clouds thinking that now her parents can look at her from there and be proud of her.
"What do you think, uncle, when will I finally be able to avenge my parents and get back what belongs to me" the girl lowered her gaze from the sky and focused it on the same eye color as her mother and her, born between the Potter and Black families, Cassandra inherited most of her appearance from mothers with their long black hair that flutters in the wind like a veil with gray-blue eyes that shine like the brightest star in the sky and lips that look like the pinkest rose petals.
"Don't worry my dear princess as long as we are together everything will be fine and for your sake I am even ready to walk over corpses so that I will no longer see sadness in your beautiful eyes but only joy" her uncle came closer to her and pulled the girl into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"Okay enough to be sad, tomorrow is a big day" Sirius pulled away from the girl and said with a raised eyebrow and a big smile on his face.
Cassandra blushed a little and smiled at her uncle, tomorrow will be her 15th birthday, it was supposed to be her best day in her life with a ball, laughter, music, dancing and maybe even her first crush, but all that was taken away from her, but Cassandra won't let someone disgusting a man who wants power to disrupt her life.
"after all, it's nothing that important," the girl said, turned around and went to her room to change.
Then pandora "How is she doing" appeared Behind sirius's back.
Sirius, slightly bent, quickly turned towards her, holding his hand to his heart, which was beating like crazy, "I would be very happy if you didn't do that again."
Pandora giggled and said "Sirius, just watch me so you don't fall down here with a heart attack". Removing his hand from his heart, Sirius proudly raised his head and said "If you stop scaring me, nothing like this will happen" and then they both turned their eyes to Cassandra.
"Do you think tomorrow will be that day" asked the Sirius thoughtfully
Pandora bowed her head thoughtfully and answered "we'll see what happens tomorrow, but I have a good feeling that we can not worry and just trust fate".
