The Other Child

I sit in my apartment that I share with a work colleague, She is due home soon and then I won’t have to be alone or afraid for tonight. I hear a soft knocking at the door, she must be home. I pull open the door and a rough hand snakes through the opening pushing me down onto the floor and forcing his way in. He closes the door behind him and locks it. He casts a silencing charm on the walls and turns his cold grey eyes on me.

“Now my darling daughter” he pulls me off the floor and stares at me coldly. I try to bolt for the door but he grabs my arms and holds me with my back against his front. He snakes a hand around my side and places it on my belly.

“Is this mudblood filth you carry Amy?” he waits “answer me Amy!”

“n-no...It’s not father” I say trying to steady my voice

``is that so Amy? Which pureblood man has taken the Honour?” he asks me. I can feel his breath on my neck.

“I...a...Amycus Carrow” I choke in hopes I have hit a successful lie.

“Really? I happen to know otherwise Amy. Bellatrix told me of her Suspicions of you Fucking the Mudblood Severus. I questioned the elves of the house and they confirm her suspicions, they have heard you moaning with him, seen you writhing under him. He is fortunate that the dark lord has a purpose for him. Do you like the feel of filth inside you, the feel of his disgusting fluids inside of you, tainting you? Making you worthless? That’s what you are now Amy...Worthless” He hisses into my ear.

He takes his hand away from my belly and pulls a knife from his pocket and flips it open. I start screaming and trying to fight away from him. With all my screaming and fighting he just pulls me tighter against him and I feel him go hard against my spine”

“Mmm... perhaps you can have one last use before I rid the world of you and the filth you carry”

I feel his hand snake around me again and his knife stabbing hard into my swollen belly, the pain is excruciating and makes my head spin, I can feel him twisting the blade; feel my sin contorting with every movement of the blade. I can feel my skirt soaking with blood and fluid. He lets go of me and I crash to the floor, laying face down, and tears of pain pouring down my cheeks. I feel his knife drag down my back, cutting off my clothing until I am laying there for him to inspect. He flips me over to get a good look at me. He grabs my arm, dragging me to my bed and there he takes me, using all his force and anger to take me. He finishes, Kisses me roughly on the mouth and takes a minute to look over the scene.

I lay there under his eyes crying and bleeding, pain courses through every part of my body, bruises forming already from his attack, Shaking as my body starts to become cold.

“Look at all the blood! Simply intoxicating!” he says licking my blood from his fingers, and with that he releases the spells binding the house and is gone.

I hear my roommate yelling for me, but I can’t hold on any longer, the pain is unbearable, I let my body rest and become one with the darkness.

I wake up in the hospital in a dimly lit room, alone. It takes me a moment to remember why I am here. I lift the heavy blanket to look at my swollen belly. But it isn’t swollen anymore, only heavily bandaged. I begin screaming and sobbing hysterically. It can’t have died, I can’t lose his baby. Mediwitches comes running in to see if I am ok. I’m not.

“My baby, my baby is gone, what happened to my baby!?” I scream at them

“Relax love” coo’s an elderly nurse “she is in the next room over being examined by the doctor. You can see her when you are feeling better love, ok?” she smiles at me

I nod and she leaves me to rest. We have a daughter Severus, I wish you were here right now; I need to see you so badly. I feel the pain killers kick in and I fade into a dreamless sleep.

I wake feeling paper pushed into my hand. I open my eyes to see an envelope in my hand; I look up and make eye contact with Lucius. He places his finger to his lips to keep me quiet; he leans in and kisses my forehead.

“Be well Amy” he tells me before disaparating.

I raise the envelope and break open the wax Malfoy crest to see an elegantly written letter.

I have deposited a substantial amount of money into your account. It should be enough to keep you going for quite awhile. I am sorry for your loss, but it should never have been, Severus isn’t worthy of you Amy, Not just because of his blood, but because you are a better person that him and deserve better. Start over Amy.

Lucius Malfoy

I realize he doesn’t know that she survived; Perhaps it won’t be so hard after all. I get out of the hospital almost a month later. Still having complications because of the way I was stabbed. But much better nonetheless. I secure a house for my daughter and myself and a new job as a teacher at the Salem Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I sit in my bed cradling my daughter. Severus, I wish you could see her; she has your beautiful eyes and dark hair, with my soft features and cream skin, I named her Raven; I know how much you love ravens...
