Delphini: "Wizards used to believe that the Augurey's cry foretold death. When I was growing up, my guardian kept one in a cage."
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."
Delphini explaining her Augurey-shaped mark[src]

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]
