Malfoy Manor
Aquila mounted the broom with her sister and the team flew off, separating from the launch ground. As expected, not even moments later, dark clouds surrounded the two sisters and death eaters surrounded them. Delphini steered as Aquila used Stupefy to take down several death eaters. She was tempted to use the killing curse but decided against it. She was surprised when many of the newly recruited death eaters (or death eaters who had been in service as Aquila grew up) were hesitant to curse her. Now, she would have felt mercy but that feeling was out the window, seeing as they didn't hesitate in killing her sister.
The wind hit her face, forcing her to close her eyes at some points but she quickly opened them, no time to rest. A familiar death eater by the name of Luca (They had known each other for a while) raised his wand and yelled, "Crucio '' at Delphini. Aquila quickly blocked it with her yule-wooded, phoenix-core wand muttering a Stupefy. Green met red midway for a split second as Delphini tried increasing their momentum. Delphini moved out of their way with a jerk, forcing Aquila to grab onto her. "Del! What are you doing?"
"Sorry!" Delphini yelled back. Aquila went back to taking the death-eaters one by one but there were too many. Malfoy Manor shouldn't be far but before Aquila could voice those thoughts, everything went blank and numb.

Albus groaned, his head throbbing. He and his aunt were heading towards the old burrow when the pesky Death Eaters caught them. "Oh good, you're awake," A familiar and calm voice spoke. Albus looked up and spotted Delphini- the real one- leaning against the wall, sitting down. Aquila was crouched into a fetal position a few feet away from Albus as Hermione comforted her. Albus knew instantly that they were at a prison in Malfoy Manor. The cell door creaked and a stout looking man, with a bucked tooth, like a rat, came in pushing two familiar people into the cage. "No," the taller whispered as he fell down. Draco and James had joined their company. James sat beside his brother and Draco looked around.
"Any means of escape?" Hermione asked the terrified Malfoy. He whipped his head around and observed the occupants. "You too?" Delphini nodded. Albus knew there were no means of escape, because if there were, Delphini would know about them. As soon as the door creaked shut, it reopened, this time, two more figures being shoved in. Ron and Scorpius. Scorpius ran into the huddle James and Albus had formed as the door creaked shut. But the figure who had shoved them in hadn't gone out.
This one wasn't a stout man but a taller woman with a curved wand in her head. "Well, well," she cackled in a high pitched voice. "Mother," Delphini spoke in a calm and collected voice. Bellatrix crouched in front of her older daughter and a loud smack rang across the cellar walls. Delphini's head and tilted from the impact, "Rebels are we?" Bellatrix spoke in a sickly sweet voice. Delphini looked straight into her mother's eyes, heavily breathing and whispered a deadly tone, "Do your worst mother, you will never get your daughter back you lying piece of shit."
Another smack reached Albus's ears and Aquila broke free from Hermione screaming a 'no'. "Crucio," Bellatrix shrieked, her wand pointing at Aquila. Albus rushed to her as her high pitched cry echoed. By the time it stopped, Aquila was cuddled into Albus and he could feel her muscles spasming all over. Bellatrix was suddenly by the wall, a strong force keeping her against the hard surface. Delphini's eyes were wide, a fire ignited within them. Her hand was stuck out, as if using it to guide her magic.
Their wand had been taken away so wandless was the only way to go. "HOw dare you touch her," Delphini said, almost in a snake-like voice, venom spilling out of voice. She was mad, so much so that even Draco had flinched. Once Delphini's spell wore off Bellatrix, she stood, a scowl permanently casted on her face. Within seconds she was out, the door slammed into place, the cling echoing through the walls. Aquila snuggled deeper into Albus, the pain still flooding her veins. "We're stuck here," Ron stated, pulling his wife and child close to him. "Thank you uncle, for stating the obvious," James grumbled, pulling Scorpius closer to his chest.
Albus quietly watched as Delphini looked around, trying to figure a way out. She picked up a few items. A worn out lamp and ew- "Look what I found," Delphini said a bit smugly, holding a limp figure- or rodent- by the tail. It was a dead rat! "Ugh! Gross!" Hermione shrieked trying to knock it out of Delphini's grip who just laughed and dangled it in front of different people's faces. "Look, it's dead Pettigrew!" she chimed when she reached Draco. They both laughed as Delphini threw the rat to the other corner of the room. Albus giggled along- until he felt Aquila shift. His grip around her tightened. Albus glanced at her, only to find her asleep, probably exhausted from the previous occurrences. Albus ran his thin fingers through her black mess.
Meanwhile, Harry and Draco were sitting side by side, watching their sons interact with questionable eyes. "Yup, they're in love," Draco muttered under his breath, clearing his throat. "Why did you name her that?" Harry asked, not taking his eyes off the boys, "Harrius? Why did you name her that?" Draco tensed and let out an awkward laugh, "Her eyes reminded me of yours," he whispered. Harry tore his gaze away to look at Draco and cocked a brow up, "You know what my eyes look like?"
"Who doesn't honestly," Draco replied, "I had a feeling she would get us out of this mess. You should have won. Not him."
"I thought you-" Harry started but was quickly cut off, "Thought I what? Liked it? Enjoy the fact that I am at top rank? No Potter. I hate it. Living under the same roof as him, eating on the same table as him. I hate it," Draco replied, with no malice. Harry sighed and observed the two boys once more.
