Adele's mom...
Once she had been the highest prize. The most wanted girl in all of Hogwarts. Only the most worthy, the most pure, could be seen with her. Could be near her. And she never let anyone forget it. Her arranged marriage suited her just fine. Two worthy households uniting through a marriage to combine there power. She knew what she was meant for and was content with it...it didn't hurt that her betrothed was handsome. She loved to play with him, with all the boys though. Letting them get just close enough, believing they might get somewhere; only to laugh at them when they made there move.
Parental love...
Addie stood there, the tears forming in her eyes as her dad leaned down and examined her. "Are you crying?" He asked the six year old. She stammered her reply,
"n..no sir..." but he knew as well as she that it was a lie. He turned and walked away from her, disgusted.
"What am I going to do with you Adele. No signs...nothing..what a dissapointment." He looked across the room and over to her mother with the same disdain as he had just shown Addie. "If only you had given me another child, a boy perhaps, then we could just hide her away..." His hand reached for the doorknob and he paused before turning it. "Do something with her hair will you Valerie..guests are arriving and she looks atrocious."
