- Scorpius Malfoy: "Your... guardian?"
- Delphini: "She used to say it was crying because it could see I was going to come to a sticky end. She didn't like me much. Euphemia Rowle... she only took me in for the gold."

Euphemia Rowle was a witch who raised Delphini following the end of the Second Wizarding War. According to Delphini, she did not care much for her ward, only taking her in for the gold. Rowle kept an Augurey in a cage, and said that the creature kept crying because it could see Delphini was going to come to a "sticky end".[2]
