Arc Two: Chapter Twelve

Ophelia had slipped into her house through her back garden. She had used the Floo Network to get to Borgin and Burkes. Ophelia stroked the new velvet black bag. Now that she had a good look at the bag, it looked very fashionable. All the young ladies from Witch Weekly loved the shoulder on bags in black. They said it would fit the autumn vibe that was going to come.

Ophelia slipped into her room as quietly as possible and shut the door closed. Ophelia slipped in her bed where she found Bella already laying down. "Did you finish what you needed to," Bella said, exhausted from waiting for Ophelia to show up.

"Yeah, everything has been set we only need to teach the small beast to recognize us as it's parents or friends," Ophelia smirked.

"Okay, now sleep we will work on the plan tomorrow while Andy, Cissy and Solar play with Warly," Bella muttered.

"Of course, "Ophelia said and shuffled to sleep closer to Bella.

"Bellatrix, as the oldest we expect you to be the best of the best academically. Your father and I want you and Ophelia to be studying all day," Druella Black said strictly,

She and her husband were leaving to go to America for an important business meeting. Of course, all the children had asked for which present they wanted once they got back. All answers differentiated. Solar asked for all the best candies, Cissy asked for the newest fashion magazines and Andy asked for a magical music set, from any of the popular brands in America, Bella asked for duelling books and Ophelia gave an exact list of things she wanted.

If she was from a rich family she might as well make use of it. The list looked very dangerous if it was not for a child asking it.

Ophelia's list of things she wants from America:

Books on raising magical creatures

more specifically Nundu

historical books on American Witches and Wizards and their lifestyles.

more specifically wandless magic and rituals

games from America to do with spells.

Spell crafting books

Dress robes of the finest quality

Dessert books of the best bakers from America

etiquette of American wizards and witches

treats for a Nundu

Cures for Nundu bites and poising attacks

Ophelia's parents knew better than to question her sudden interest in Nundu's after all Ophelia did have a phase where she would ignore them for days when they questioned her. Even after punishing her by putting her away from her siblings, it was no use she just used her metamorphosis abilities to entertain herself.

In the end, they had given in and never asked again. "Father and Mother, I truly hope you could get everything on that list for me as it would help my studies quite a lot," Ophelia said slyly.

Ophelia had been using her studies as an excuse to have her parents give her books or other resources she needed. After all, they did not really go into her studies and all she needed to do was cunningly change the study topics to those that pleased her. then if her parent would question it would be all covered.

Ophelia stood next to her siblings while they waved their parents off. They disappeared in the garden with a portkey, Ophelia turned to Bella and smiled cunningly. This was going exactly as followed.

"Ophi, do you and Bella really have to study," Solar asked while tugging at the end of her dress. Ophelia bend down to his level. he was now a bit older and able to mostly speak without mispronouncing words. "Sorry Solar but Bella and I need to study if we want to do well at Hogwarts. If we do not do well we will disappoint Mother, Father and all of you," Ophelia said while pointing at all of her little siblings.

"YOU WON'T LET ME DOWN EVEN IF YOU FAIL, I PROMISE," Solar yelled with pride. Ophelia giggles softly but shook her head signalling that she could not do that. Solar looked down at her his shoes and Ophelia knew he would cry and try to convince her with tears, so like the 'kindhearted' sister that she was she quickly said goodbye with Bella and then left to their basement. Andy and Cissy knew better than to disturb them.

"So Ophi, did you get everything," Bella asked once they were in the basement. The basement was dimly lit but had a fresh smell to it. "Of course who do you think I am," Ophelia said arrogantly.

Bella snickered before giving Ophelia a turned up look. "Shall we begin sis,"
