My name is Cassandra Bellatrix Black. My mother's name is Bellatrix Black and my father's name is Fenrir Greyback. My predecessor's name was Elizabeth.

I was born on November 4, 1969. Eleven years before my first generation was born. When I was born, my mother was shamed by my grandfather, Cygnus, and cause my mother to leave my life until further notice. My parents were never married. After my mother gave me to my father, I ran with him and his pack. My father's Omega had a son my age so I wasn't very lonely. When I turned 5, my father turned me over to the Ministry and they had me go to school. This is where I begin to remember the most.
"Hello Cassandra." I was sitting in a wooden chair in a large dome-shaped room. The room was dark lit but royal in a sense that it had a lot of treasures.
"Cassandra, speak up." My father snarled. I sat up straighter and looked at the man in front of me. He was a middle-aged man with brown hair and black beetle-like eyes. He had a cold calculating stare. He was looking at me.
“Hello sir” I said. I cringed at how young my voice sounded. My father seemed to let out a breath he was holding.
“My name is Andrew Moonstone. I am the headmaster here at The Institute for Protective Skills. Mr. Greyback,” Moonstone said cringing. “Your daughter will be here everyday until she either finishes all her classes or her first generation is born. Also, she will be visited by her spirit mother, Elizabeth.” Moonstone explained. My father grunted then began saying “Do what you need to do.” Moonstone then stood up, shook hands with my father then my father left. No goodbyes, no tears, no hugs. Just the crack of apparating. I wouldn’t see him for four years. Moonstone sat back down and began to filling out a class schedule for me. I did not know that upon graduation, I would know 3 different languages, Dark magic( How to deflect it and how to do it), Spell casting, using my curse for fighting, occlumency,and legilimency. We had seven classes a day. I took Latin the first year for my Language 1. Moonstone gave me my schedule and walked me to my room where I would be living for the next 4 years. The campus was not like Hogwarts. It was similar to a muggle college. As there are few protectors in England, The campus was small. There were 6 buildings. 4 were classrooms and 2 were for boarding rooms. The campus was co-ed. The rooms were single gender but the buildings were not. Moonstone walked me first to one of the boarding buildings. We stopped in front of a room and he handed me my schedule, a key and left. I turned to the door. I didn’t know that the person on the other side of the door would be my life-long best friend. I knocked and the door opened. The first thing I noticed was that the curtains were drawn on the windows. And they were black. The second thing was the person who opened the door. It was a female with black hair and bright blue eyes. She was tall and skinny.
“Hello there. My name is Chrystal Lucatero. Who are you?” She said. Her voice sounded very young as well. I remember thinking ‘maybe she’s my age’.
“I’m Cassandra Black. I’m brand new here.” I replied. She looked very interested in me.
“Are you my new roommate? My last one had just found her first generation was born. She was a fifth year here. I’m in my first month still though so I’m pretty new. Anyway, are you a vampire?” Chrystal asked. I was shocked that someone had asked. She seemed very interested too. Normally, if somebody asked, my father wanted me to not say the truth and tell them that I was human. I did think that I could trust this girl though.
“I assume that I’m your new roommate and I’m Werewolf. Are you a vampire?” I asked guardedly. She nodded.
“Where are your things? Clothes, bedding and bathroom supplies?” She asked me. I shrugged. I didn’t have any. I only had one outfit and I never had a bed or any bathroom supplies. I used what I could find.
“Um, I don’t have any.” I said. I felt out of place and really awkward. Chrystal’s eyes immediately went soft.
“That’s okay. I’ll take you down to the campus stores and we will get you those things. Do you have any money?” She asked. I shook my head. My eyes were starting to sting. I fought the tears that threatened to fall.
“That’s okay. That’s how I was when I first got here. We’ll get you settled. It’s okay, don’t cry. I’ll help you.” She said. That’s when I lost it. That was the first time I ever cried. My mother said that I didn’t really cry as a baby. My father wouldn’t allow me to cry. He said that crying was a weakness. So I was never allowed to cry.
Chrystal walked over to me and held me as I cried. She hugged me and comforted me.
“Shh, it’ll be okay, darling.” She said. Eventually, I stopped shaking and crying.
“There you go, now let’s go to the stores. I will buy you a coffee or a hot drink and then we can buy you those things.” Chrystal said.
“How will I repay you?” I asked.
“We’ll get you a job as soon as you get settled and then you can do that. But for now, let’s go get you some necessities.” Chrystal said. She grabbed her cloak and guided me out the door. She turned and locked it. She walked with me down the hall and out into the courtyard. Two guys noticed us and walked up to us. One was tall and had black hair and dark brown eyes. The other was shorter and had brown hair and blue eyes.
“Hey Chrys! What’s up? Who’s this?” The tall one said.
“Hey Devon, this is Cassandra. She’s new and started today. We’re going down to the stores to get necessities. You guys want to come?” Chrys replied.
"Sure, we gotta run down there anyway. Someone used up all the shampoo last time he shifted.” Devon said.
“Hey, I didn’t use all of it. Just a lot. I didn’t realize that it was that much hair!” the shorter one said. Chrystal laughed with Devon.
“Calm down Justin, it’s okay. It was funny anyway.” Devon said. I was starting to calm down at this point. We walked to the center of the courtyard and I noticed that there were a lot of stores. There were a mix of stores also. There were muggle stores and Wizard stores. The muggle store was named Hot Topic. We first went to the coffee shop and Chrystal bought me a hot peppermint flavoured coffee. We all sat down at the table in the corner.
“So, Cassandra. What are you? Human and what? And what’s the language you chose for the first year?” Justin asked me.
“I’m human and werewolf. I chose Latin for my first language. What about you?” I asked. Chrystal and Devon were flirting. I wondered how long Justin and Devon had been at the school.
“I’m werewolf also and I decided to take Latin also. Do you have your schedule with you?” Justin asked. I shook my head.
“Are you Chrystal’s new roommate?” Devon asked. I nodded.
“You don’t talk all that much do you?” Devon asked. I shook my head. He chuckled.
“Any reason or just because?” Justin asked. I shrugged.
“I don’t know.” I replied. After coffee, Chrystal took me into a couple different stores. The first was a wizard store that had cloaks and robes. Chrystal bought me black robes and an emerald green cloak. Next, she took me to Hot Topic. Hot Topic was amazing. It had a lot of band t-shirts and t-shirts from muggle television shows. I fell in love with the coloring and layout of the store. It was black and red but it was really tight in space. I noticed that everyone else was watching me to see how I’d react. I faked a gasp and turned around with a smile on my face.
“Do you like it?” Chrystal asked. I nodded.
“C’mon. Let’s get you some clothes.” She said. She took me to the jeans and the jeans were very different. They had normal colored jeans and then they had 2 different colored jeans and then they had jeans that had different styles and different patterns. Then, Chrys showed me leggings. The leggings were so weird. Some were based off muggle movies or muggle video games and others were like galaxies that you put on your legs. She then took me to look at shirts. Now these were very interesting. There were so many shirts. Shirts for different bands. Shirts for muggle television shows. Shirts for muggle video games.
“What would you like? You need a jacket, at least 5 shirts, 2 sets of pyjamas, 3 pants and 1 change of shoes.” Chrystal told me. My jaw dropped. The clothes here were so expensive and they didn’t accept wizarding money. The shirts were at least 17 pounds. I couldn’t imagine what the jackets and shoes were like.
“Are you sure? That’s a lot of money. Maybe just 2 shirts and one pair of jeans? That’s it. Nothing else.” I responded. She shook her head.
“No, it gets hella cold here during winter and your shoes are falling apart. And you need at least 5 shirts to get through the week and 3 pairs of jeans so you can change them out. Pyjamas are needed too but we can find that at Night Life Robes. So, what kind of music do you like?” She asked me. I didn’t know what music was at that time.
“Music? What’s that?” I asked. She gasped really loudly and I knew that I said the wrong thing.
“You don’t know what music is? Where have you been? Under a rock?” She said all panicky. I felt a sting at her words.
“I haven’t been under a rock, I’ve been in the forest where the only sound is nature and animal noises and the constant whine of my pack. So, I’m sorry that I’m not as civilized as you thought I was.” I said in a hurry. She shut up after that.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just, forgot that you just got here and I’m sorry. Wait, pack? Who are your parents?” She asked. I looked away.
“If you really insist on a pair of shoes, I like these.” I pointed out a pair of black slip on shoes that had a pentacle on it with sigils in between the star points. She looked at them, then back at me, then began saying “Those are from Supernatural. Some Muggle television show where two siblings hunt monsters” I nodded in comprehension. She grabbed a pair after figuring out my shoe size and then to the shirts and pants area. I chose 5 shirts that were different bands. I kind of trusted Chrystal on the choosing. She got me a shirt that said ‘Linkin Park’ and had people on them, which I assumed was this link in park group. Then she chose a shirt that said ‘Pierce the Veil’. It was tie-dye and had no faces on it so I liked that one. Then she chose a plain black shirt and a plain dark purple shirt. The final shirt was my favorite and it was a picture of the fuzzy green guy who was tall and it had the words written on it “Naughty, Nice,” and “I really tried” with check boxes next to them. I thought it was really funny so I really like that one.
After choosing shirts, she took me to the pants area. She chose one pair of normal colored jeans then a pair of checkered purple and black jeans and then a pair of black leggings. She also bought me a belt that had bullets on it and suspenders that were black and white checkered. The jacket she chose for me was a plain black jacket that said Collide With The Sky across the front and Pierce the Veil on the back. After she checked out at Hot Topic, she took me across the way to Night Life Robes and bought me plain black sleeping robes. She also bought me a pair of dress robes against my will. I did like them though. They were black and green but a dark green that complimented my hazel eyes.
After the shopping trip, Chrystal said goodbye to Justin and Devon and we went back to our dormitory. We got dressed and ready for bed and as we were laying down Chystal asked me again who my parents were.
“So, are you going to tell me who your parents are or am I going to be left in the dark?” She asked. I sighed. I guess I kind of owed it to her for buying me all of my clothes and cleaning supplies.
“My mother’s name is Bellatrix Lestrange. She just got married. My father’s name if Fenrir Greyback.” I responded. Chrystal was very quiet. I got very nervous.
“You don’t seem like them at all. At least Fenrir. I don’t know who Bellatrix is. Wait. Why is your last name Black instead of Greyback or Lestrange?” She asked.
“Rodolphus Lestrange isn’t my father and my mother never married my real father so I took my mother’s maiden name, Black.” I explained.
“Oh, okay. Well, goodnight Cassandra.” She said yawning. I said goodnight and promptly fell asleep.
