I’ve never let anyone come with me to Azkaban. It’s not a place for children. Not a place they can just go to. I don’t feel safe there. I don’t feel happy. I don’t know how people can last as long as they did and come out with their minds intact, well more or less. I have to go for work purposes. It’s part of the requirements in magical law enforcement and in the department of mysteries.

The Dementors still bow when they see me, still look at me with an understanding glance. The strange thing is that they are not the worst part. The prisoners are. I go to visit and be with Delphini but there are screams and cries from other prisoners, all begging to be let out, set free, given warmth, shelter. I hate to see her like that. All I know is that the Dementors are treating her well. As well as they treat me at least. And she can stand up to them just as well as I can.

For her knowing that Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange were put through the same torment that is one thing. For me it is Sirius Black and Lucius Malfoy that went through it. It’s dark foreboding and cold. It sends chills down your spine. I sent Umbridge there and she is still paying her time.

LOUISA: Delphi? Are you ok?
DELPHI: Ok, I guess. You coming in?
LOUISA: It was Charlie’s Birthday the other day… and Christmas Day.
DELPHI: with the Weasleys? And Boxing Day with the Malfoys? You coming in or what?
LOUISA: *Lou walks through* It’s not the same without you. *Hugs Delphi* If you could just transfigure yourself into something, anything! We could get you out. That’s how Sirius did it.
DELPHI: I don’t think they’ll let me do that.
LOUISA: Yeah coz you're really one for sticking to the rules! I could transfigure you! I’m speaking with law enforcement next week. They should get you out. Lucius got out.
DELPHI: Yeah, well, *rolls her eyes*
LOUISA: I’m serious father wouldn’t want you in here. He’d go crazy if he knew you were here. Let alone your mum.
DELPHI: She already was crazy. You really think you can get me out?
LOUISA: I’ll pay the ministry if I have to. I brought you this. *Hands her a package.*
DELPHI: What is it?
LOUISA: Now that would be telling, just open it. *Smiles.*
DELPHI: *Unwraps the parcel and takes out a book.*
LOUISA: It’s nothing special but I thought it might cheer you up a bit.
DELPHI: *looking unimpressed* Thanks, I think. Who else was at the Malfoy’s?
LOUISA: The usual crowd, Me, Charlie, Sevie, Bertie, Lucius, Narcissa, Nana-dromeda, Teddy, Draco and Scorpius. But Scorpius wasn’t his usual bubbly-self.
DELPHI: No thanks to me I’m guessing.
LOUISA: For the most part yes. You had a hand in it. But I don't think it was all that.
DELPHI: I just wanted things to be returned to their rightful place. For father, Cedric, your uncle Severus. But nothing I did worked.
LOUISA: I know you did. And I know that your heart was in the best place. But time truly is time and you can’t change that no matter what. Some things we have to learn the hard way. *Hugs her again*. I love you Delphi I have to go. *Walks out.*
