Just a Single Life To Live

Chapter one/ Splah


A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. ~Albert Einstein


Summary: With all the whispers of a new Dark Wizard Draco Malfoy begins to run for Minister of Magic. His daughter Electra is sorted into Gryffindor with Potters, Weaslys and mud bloods. He always hoped his past would leave his children alone but even on the first day of Hogwarts it seems to catch up with Electra. Please read! I am awful at summaries!


Authors Note: I love writing future generation stories on Death Eater children, so this is one of those. Scorpius and Electra Malfoy are starting a year earlier than in the book. By the way Electra Malfoy is the OC character. I will only be sorting the children you have meet in this chapter. Please R&R! Enjoy…


Electra's POV:

"Come on Electra we go to Hogwarts next week! At least act excited…" Nikki Montague smiled at me. Nikki is a very pretty pureblood child like the rest of us. She has dark jet black hair with cherry red streaks. Her hair is about shoulder length, medium curliness hair. Her eyes are a deep grey color that make her a dark looking beauty. She is extremely skinny and petite just like me.

"We all know Electra has a hard time being excited about anything" Nicole Wilkes smirked. She has light brown hair with subtle blonde streaks with light ice blue eyes. Her hair is flat iron straight and down to her upper back.

"Splah we all know Desiree has no luck with being excited" Natasha Bullstrode teased as she filed her nails.

Natasha has blonde hair and sea green eyes. She has a wind blown do that is just at her shoulders. Her dad died before she was born and she just took her mums name. It doesn't really bother her considering her father was an asshole death eater.

"Hey, my mum said its not that great so why be excited" Desiree Rowel sighed boredly. She was also gorgeous as we all are. She was Blue/black hair that is curly as my great aunt Bellatrixs and has the same deep ocean blue eyes. She is truly a desire of all the boys… or so my brother says.

"Agreed I mean father said all the people are just pregidous because our parents were Death Eaters. I mean its kinda stupid really, that was like twenty years ago whats their problem" I said bitterly. Yes im Electra Malfoy, twin sister of Scorpius Malfoy. I have my fathers bleach white, iron straight, shoulder length hair. I have his grey sparkling eyes and high cheekbone, my mums full pink lips and full long eyelashes. One look at me you know im a Malfoy, you would really have to dig deep to see im a Greengrass too. It really upsets my mum sometimes because I never am I touch with my cousin Diana Nott. Aunt Daphney married Uncle Theo right after the war ended and they had Diana about a year after I was born. Diana is the image of Greengrass. Forest green eyes and chestnut brown hair.

"It really is stupid I mean it's not like our parents had a choice or anything, it was join or die." Natasha said softly.

"Yea, I really hope were all in Slytherin so we don't have to put up with their pregidous asses" Nikki spat. They all had high and mighty opinions, something I myself and guilty of. We believe in what we want to and nothing else.

"Well ladies even if one of us ends up in another house, even Gryffindor, we will stick together" Nicole smiled softly and sipped from her ice water.

"Agreed, we have to stick together, like forever" Desiree grinned her sly grin and we all murmured our agreements as we sipped water.

"Well are we ever going to get off our lazy arses and go to Diagon Alley or not…" Nikki demanded as she got up.

"Splah why don't you go" Natasha offered as she threw her feet in Nikki's seat and leaned back further.

"Why do you always say splah?" I said as I raised my eyebrow and smirked.

"Splah I say it to be different like when you ask Desiree a yes or no question and instead of yes she says 'for har shar'" She smiled wickedly.

"Or when you actually seem non depressed and you say 'hells to the yes'" Nicole grinned maliciously.

"Or when Nicole adds brilliant in front of every ok idea" Nikki smirked as she tossed a apple back and forth in her hands.

"Or when Nikki put bloody in front of every cuss word she can manage" Natasha offered viciously.

"Hello Ladies" Scorp said nonchalantly as he walked into the room with Daniel Rookwood and Ryan Dolohov. Daniel has slick black hair that is swept over to the side with purple eyes. Ryan has dark brown shaggy hair with deep forest green with hints of ocean blue.

"Hullo Scorp, Danny boy and Ry. Why have you come and ruined our fine day" Desiree said coolly as she swept a piece of hair out of her eyes.

"We came to see if you planned to get off your lazy asses and go get your school supplies?" Scorp smirked as we all groaned and got up.

"Well bye-bye Scorp, Danny boy, Ry. See you three later" I smiled my fakest smile and waved. All five of us girls marched out of our room and flooed to Diagon Alley.


At Diagon Alley…

"Hullo Miss Malfoy, Wilkes, Montague, Bullstrode and Rowel. How may I be of service to you?" Mr. Olivander spoke kindly.

"We need wands, like now" I said demandingly, Nikki snickered. I flipped her off behind my back. We had gotten everything else and I bought a new broom for at home, you know me.

"Splah" Natasha concealed a giggle.

"Hells to the yes" I nodded my head up. The girls giggled. Olivander looked utterly confused.

"Bloody hell old man go get the wands" Nikki snickered. The old man ran to the back and was gone.

"How is he not dead" Nicole shook her head in surprise.

"Splah he survived torture and all that shit. I bet he's gonna last a while" Natasha said in a matter of factly. We all nodded our head in silent agreement. We sat there as we could hear the man rustling in the back looking for wands. All the sudden the entrance bell went off. We all looked up and saw Two guys and a girl about our age. The tallest had dark cherry red shaggy/long hair with a couple of freckles. The next boy had jet black hair and forest green eyes. The shortest had blonde pixie curled, neck length hair. She had crystal blue eyes and a petite form.

"Who in the bloody hell are you" Nikki demanded.

"Splah its kinda obvious…" Natasha sighed.

Nikki, Nicole and Desiree sat in utter confusion.

"Are you that dull Ladies?" I said coolly with an eyebrow raised.

"Splah the tall one is a Weasly, the other boy a Potter and the girl a Weasly also" Natasha said proudly. The three of them stood their awkwardly. The Potter child smiled weirdly and us five girls narrowed our eyes.

"Miss Malfoy, Miss Montague here are wands that may work for you" Mr. Olivander said kindly. I got up and grabbed one of the wands.

"Ahh Miss Malfoy, fine choice to start with. 13 inches, unicorn hair and a single phoenix hair, Oak a very rare and powerful wand. Almost as powerful as the elder wand." He smiled and handed the wand to me. I whipped it to the left and it glowed at the tip. He looked at the wand in awe. "That wand will do great things Miss Malfoy, could do great good or bad. All of your choice" He smiled softly and motioned for Nikki to come for her wand. My wand was a dark black with a flower stem wrapped up the side and a flower just at the tip. It was the prettiest wand I have ever seen.

I stepped outside the shop forgetting about my friends wondering about what Olivander said. What kind of great things, like Voldemort great or Harry Potter great? Could I be a world leader? Stop it Electra great things as in a spell inventor or potion creator…

"Malfoy" I spun around to see the Potter boy that had been in the Olivanders with us.

"Potter, what do you want?" I spat at him. Our fathers had been enemies one can only up hold a rivalry so well.

"One Desiree Rowell wants to know why you looked so flipped out and left" He smiled easily. Had I looked flipped out? Oh screw her she always looks to deeply into things.

"I wasn't flipped out and it was crowded, tell her I'll be at the Malfoy Castle. And for you Potter, see you at Hogwarts" I smiled my fake pureblood smile that I learned in Pureblood Etiquette 101 Pre and Middle school. Those schools taught me how to write in curly letters and cursive, how to sit and stand 'properly', how to talk properly and how to play an instrument of my choice. I can sing and play piano, im really good at both. I hadn't really noticed where I had been walking but suddenly everything was dark.

"Welcome to Knockturn Alley miss Malfoy, how can we help you?" Borgin, the only living storekeeper of Borgin and Burkes asked weezily.

"Well I came here on accident but how about some truth potion, two pints maybe?"

"Sure thing Miss Malfoy it will be my pleasure, do come with me" He guided us through the dark alley and into his store. It was murky and full of dust and faded foot prints of what was once a vivid store full of dark customers. He walked back with two water bottle sized containers holding truth potion.

"Thank you Borgin how much is this going to be?" I said slyly. I narrowed my eyes as he looked at the price list.

"Twenty galleons fifteen for just one" He winked his eye and I shoved the twenty galleons at him and he grinned at he shoved the two bottles at me and I nodded. I walked over to the fire place.

"MALFOY CASTLE!"


The day of Departure…

"Electra dear we leave in ten minutes!" Mum yelled from our family picture.

The Malfoy Castle is consisted of four wings, North, East, South and West. Each wing has twenty rooms and ten house elves Malfoy Manor had been where I had grown up from ages one to five but then Grandparents, parents and my brother and I had been kicked out because of all the dark art objects so we had Malfoy Castle built. I live in the South wing, for it has the best garden and its got the best tower room. The kitchens is in the very center room and is surrounded by the Grand Hall where parties and balls are held. Then there is the family living area. Otherwise each wing has a living area and four stories. Its huge and beautiful.

"Yes Mother!" I yelled at the picture. I grabbed my truth potions and threw them in my truck and slammed it shut.

"Hopsy!"

"Yes Miss Electra" The small house elf said happily

"Take my trunk to the station and wait for me and do go fetch Humble from the Barn Owlery and put him in a cage then do wait at the entrance for us" I said sternly, if you show weakness and kindness to these house elves they take advantage.

"Yes Miss's would you like Hopsy to apparate you to the Mrs. Astoria?" I just nodded at the small elf and took its puny hand.

CRACK

"Oh dearest im so sad! My two children are leave the house for a whole two months! Then a whole four months! Uh I will miss you!" She wrapped me in a tight superficial hug. I let out a deep breathe and smiled weakly.

"Ill miss you too mum, is Cissa taking us or you?" Mum tends to use Grandma Cissa to get out of leaving the house since father is running for Minister of Magic.

"Cissa will be, I just hate the Daily Prophet so avoid them at all cost and write to us. Be a good girl" She kissed my cheek and Scorp walked in.

"You can only hope mum" Scorp smirked and I elbowed him,

Cissa walked in the room grinning with her hair re-dyed a blonde and half brown tied up in a half up half down in the back. Her pale blue eyes watered with tears as she pulled us into a hug. She took a potion that made sure she didn't look a day over forty and it worked like a champ. She is the prettiest sixty year old I know.

"Ok dears lets get going" She smiled and grabbed our hands.

CRACK

The crowd was loud and obnoxious. My house elf winked and put my luggage on the train. I gave Cissa a kiss on the check and went to the compartment where Hopsy had put my bag.

"Electra!" Four of my closest friends yelled at the same time as they tackled me in a hug.

"Hullo Ladies how are you" I laughed into their hair. We all stood up and sat in the compartment.

"We cant all be in Slytherin this year" Nicole gulped.

"Why in the bloody hell not?" Nikki yelled. Oh bloody hell… ahaha

"Splah the Zabini Twins are in our year ya know, Maleah and Kyara" Natasha said sadly.

"So where are the other two of us supposed to go?" I asked worriedly, I will most likely get disowned if im anywhere but Syth.

"I want Ravenclaw" Desiree said calmly. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Oh yea… RAVENCLAW!" Natasha screamed happily. We all laughed and sighed as we felt the train begin to move and I waved to a sobbing Cissa. I knew I would love Hogwarts, I just have this feeling.


About to go on Boats…

"Aww we cant all sit together" Natasha pouted.

"No problemo I can go sit with my brother and his idiot friends and meet you gals over on the other side" I winked and walked to find my brother.

"Hey Electra, sit with us please dearest sister" Scorp smiled pleadingly.

"Ahh sure, why not" I grinned at my brother and sat in a boat with him and his dummies

It was a relatively quiet trip over as no one truly cared about the scenery on our boat. As we pulled to land I ran to find the girls and we all hugged. The new Deputy Head Mistress is Tracey Davis.

"Hello first years, there are four house you can be sorted into Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor. All fine houses, all fine qualities. You will be sorted then you will sit with your table. You will remain in this house until you leave Hogwarts. Now lets go" She smiled and motioned us forwards.

The hat sang it gay ass song about unity and peace. Then they began the sorting…

"Bullstrode, Natasha"

"GRYFFINDOR, "

The look on her face, stunned, pissed off, confused, pissed off, sad AND pissed off. She stomped to the table. Crossed her arms and sat down.

"Dolohov, Ryan"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Potter, James Sirius"

"GRYFFINDOR" Natasha began banging her head on the table.

"Malfoy Electra" Natasha rose her head in hope.

Yes you have a sly mind, very ambitious. But you are very loyal, brave, courageous, yes I see it now… GRYFFINDOR" My eyes blinked open as Natasha looked like a monkey had jumped of her back.

"Malfoy, Scorpius"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Montague, Nikki"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Rookwood, Daniel"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Rowel, Desiree" Oh merlin, Gryffindor, PLEASE!

"GRYFINNDOR!"

"Weasly, Dominique"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Weasly, Fred"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Wilkes, Nicole"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Zabini, Kyara"

"Slytherin!"

"Zabini, Maleah"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"How in the hell are we in Gryffindor" Desiree whispered furiously.

"Splah, we're all loyal, brave and well stupid at times. We'll make awesome Gryffs " Natasha smiled, we just nodded and looked at our other two roommates, Dominique Weasly and Annette Thompson. So basically, blood traitor and muggleborn. Hope they like each other…. The guys are James Potter, Fred Weasly, Jared Wilding, Zack Skarr , and Kyle Parkinson. Kyle being the only Pureblood guy that our parents would approve we have decided no guys for us.

"Hello, im Annette." I turned around to look at the girl.

"Hello im Electra. Electra Malfoy" I nodded at the girl. I have no problem with muggleborns but they tend to listen to non purebloods.

"My great grandfather is magical, said to stay away from families like Malfoy, Montague, Parkinson, Wilkes, Zabini, Bullstrode, Dolohov, Rookwood, Rowel, Davis, Greengrass, families like that"

"Well then he's a pregidous old prune" I said with my words drenched in honey, false honey.

"Im sorry it is all just so new, im sure we can be friends" Annette smiled kindly. I half smiled and turned back to Desiree and Natasha.

"Merlin have mercy" Desiree whispered.

"On us, hell to the no" I offered.

"Splah should we miss Nik and Nic?" Natasha asked quietly?

"Nahh they were always they're own group. It was Lectra that has held us together so don't sweat it Tasha" Desiree smiled weakly.

"I only hung around cause mum liked them so much" I shrugged. Nik and Nic were always they're own duo they loved each other like sisters. Tasha and Siree are my sisters.

"Yea that was our deal too, at least we have each other" Siree smiled.

"Who do you three think you are" Potter said rudely. I snapped my head in his direction.

"Splah, who do you think you are Potter" Tasha said icily. Heat grew in his eyes.

"Im Harry Potters son which-"

"Makes you no better than any one else" I said icily.

"Yes it does-"

"No it fucking doesn't. Just because our parents joined the Death Eaters doesn't mean we totally suck." Siree finally spoke up.

"Splah, just because the boy who refused to die is your father doesn't make you any better than us. Our fathers had to rebuild their way to the top when your fathers had just been there because hells yea they know Harry Potter"

"So you three honestly think your just as good as me?" He spat.

"Oh for har shar" Siree said calmly.

"Hell to the yes" I said confidently.

"Splah" Tasha said stupidly.

"You threes parents are the trash of the wizarding world and should be in Azkaban." Tasha threw her food down and starred at Potter with a death glare. Only if looks could kill…

"My father is dead I spent my childhood with Desiree and Electra, we all had Electra's dad. He was great but I never had a dad to call my own. He turned against the last of the Death Eater Resistance and they murdered him. So even if you do the honorable thing, you die" She was in a mood you never want to see her in. We pulled her down back to her seat and she fumed on..

"Well what does Mr. Malfoys story?" He sneered and I threw pudding at him.

"Tom Riddle tortured my grandparents until he agreed to join, and then when he failed they murdered Narcissas unborn child" I whispered in pure hate.

"Im sorry to both of you, I really didn't know." He said halfheartedly.

"Its not like you asked before you came to conclusions" Desiree said coldly. No one knows what happened to her father, he just kinda… disappeared when we were five. He just banished, never seen again.

"What happened to your father, Rowel?"

"No one knows… he just kind of disappeared out of the blue. Never seen again." She picked at an orange trying to act nonchalant. Tasha and I could see the hurt though.

"Hullo sister, sisters friends" I turned around to see Scorp.

"Hey Scorp, whats up" I said quietly.

"You looked slightly upset and I would like to know per say why?" He said in a know it all voice/

"Splah Potter over there was talking some serious smack, don't worry we put him in his place" Tasha smiled up at Scorp. He smiled at her for a split second and he turned to James.

"Hurt my sister ever again, physically or mentally, I will beat the living shit out of you" James eyes widened and Scorp smiled. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he rubbed it off. We smiled for a split moment and he left.

"I love your brother, he is so good at shutting people up" Natasha whispered.

"Nah he is just good at accreting himself, there is no way in hell he could beat the crap out of anyone" I said teasingly, merlin I wish my brother was here.

I looked up to see a good looking guy with dark blue hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"Tell your brother to cool it, kay?" I glared at the boy and nodded sternly.

"Splah, its not his fault James was talking bad bout our parents" Natasha spat at him with hatred.

"You will speak with respect to your head boy" He narrowed his eyes at the three of us girls.

"Hey, you said in your lovey dovey speech up there to treat you as we treat others" Desiree said calmly as she twiddled her fork.

"Just watch it" He said grimly and walked away. I would love to use a potion on him tonight. So many great things from the ever generous Borgin.

"God dammit!" I said loudly.

"What" Desiree said concerned.

"I left all my potions except my Truth Potion, so I repeat god dammit" I huffed as I checked my watch, any minute now and I could go check to see what I had in my bag.

"Just mail order some stuff from Borgin, you're a top customer. Or get some stuff from the Weasly shop." Desiree offered.

"Yea Borgin said maybe I could have his shop one day, I really hope I can. I would just hide some of the darker things in the back." I may only be eleven but im a top customer at Borgin and Burkes. Borgin loves how I seem to know everything about his shop, told me I can have the store one day.

"You know Borgin?" A startled James said.

"Yea, family friend you could say." I sneered to piss Potter off.

"Oh, well I thought I had seen you in my uncles store the other day.." He trailed off, something was bothering hi. I scrunched up my nose.

"I shop at both" I smiled a quick smile when McG finally took the podium.

She did her dumb ass speech and we all stood up following Mr. Obvious, Teddy Lupin.

"The password is courageous for now it will change regularly but there will be notice girls dormitory to the left, boys to the right." He walked of to the older version of Dominique, Victorie.

"Splah I hate this" Natasha said close to the edge of tears.

"Aww honey you go lay upstairs, im going to yell at Potter for a second" I smiled and Desiree grabbed her hand and took her upstairs. I want to set Potter straight. I stomped up to him and he raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you such an asshole?"

"Aww that's not fair, you don't know me" He said like he was top shit.

"Your right I don't, but you were being a total ass when you brought up our past" I said sternly.

"Hows about this, we hang out for a little tomorrow, it being Sunday. We go down to Blake Lake and we go from there" He smiled easily.

"Must I?"

"See you in the morning Princess" He winked and walked to the boys dormitory stairs. I just groaned and went to sit down.

"Hey, see you met my cousin" A blonde boy said kindly, looked like Dominique, but a boy.

"Yea he infuriates the shit out of me, ive only known him like two hours" I rolled my eyes, he just laughed.

"Im Louis Weasly, Dominique's elder brother. Second year, still have to listen to Victorie but I have power over Domi. Even if its just one year" We shook hands.

"Well I assume you know who I am, but if you don't. Im Electra Malfoy who will be receiving a howler tomorrow" He smiled and I smirked.

"You any good at Quidditch?" He asked curiously.

"I would say yea, but again that's my opinion"

"I play on team, just wondering if ill be seeing you next year. What position do you play?"

"I play chaser, whats about you?" He is really good looking. Dad says he is part vela, see if I care.

"Same here, does either of your friends play?" Splah , Natasha doesn't trust broomsticks, she is utterly terrified of flying. Desiree is amazing but I don't have a clue if she will play for Gryffindor.

"Er, Desiree does but she may not play for Gyrff " I smiled a cheesy smile and he laughed.

"Everyone calls you three the ice queens due to you giving everyone the cold shoulder at dinner, I understand why you may be uncomfortable here when all of your family heritage points to Slytherin" He hugged me lightly. At least someone understands me.

"Thanks you for understanding Louis, you seem like the only one that does." I smiled at him for a few seconds when I saw Teddy walking towards us. Bleck…

"Hello Louis, ice queen" He nodded at us as he plopped down next to Louis.

"Teddy" Louis and I said at the same time, I blushed a little. BAH im a Malfoy, I don't blush!

"You two friends" Teddy asked with a eyebrow raised.

Just as I was about to say something "Yea, you would be surprised how kind she is" Louis smiled at Teddy. Teddy nodded his head.

"Sorry I was quick to judge Malfoy"

"No problem Lupin, you would be surprised how often it happens" I smiled gently and he just nodded again.

"So Malfoy, do you plan to socialize with my cousins" Teddy asked.

"Erm James is making me come to Blake Lake tomorrow, so sure" I said uncomfortably.

"That's nice, he can be pushy at times. What can I say, cant we all" He smiled, I felt like I had to, too.

"Yea, it's a malicious Malfoy treat" I smiled a weak smile.

"Im afraid it's a treat of every poor soul walking " Teddy said as he pushed an arm as motioning 'everyone'.

"Well fellas I must be going to bed due to the hour" I got up and stretched out.

"Night Malfoy" Teddy nodded.

"Night Electra" Louis said softly as he got up and hugged me.

"Night Lupin, night Louis" I smiled, and waved as I walked up the stairs.

"YOU BITCH" I heard Desiree yell at someone, oh dear merlin who pissed her off this time.

"GO TO HELL ROWEL!" Oh dear merlin, Natasha and Desiree were fighting . This isn't good.

"Hey just calm-" I heard Dominique attempt to talk.

" Splah bitch I would shut up and get the hell out, you too mud blood" I heard Tasha say icily. She vowed she would never use mud blood. We all did.

"What the hell are you two fighting about" I said as I slammed the door open and put on my best mum look.

"This bitch suggested my hair coloring is fake" Desiree growled.

"Oh my bloody merlin, why in the hell does that matter?" Are they really that immature?

"Because she said that maybe Im not really Desiree Rowel, that im just some freaking phony!" She yelled as she tackled Tasha and began to slap her. I jumped over and pulled Desiree off Tasha.

"You two just calm down for the next few days and stay away from each other take the two beds farthest away. Think about what you could both do better and make up later" They glared at each other and stomped to opposite beds. Dominique and Annette were hiding in the bathroom. Pathetic.

"You two can come out" I called to the bathroom. They came out quivering, wow how dumb.

"Night friends" I yelled out . I got no reply, how rude. I grabbed a nightie and jumped in bed. I really don't want to go to Black Lake tomorrow…


James POV:

"Hey Freddie mate" I called to Fred .

"Yea Jamie" He said from his bed.

"Come here"

"Fine" He grunted as he squabbled out from his bed .He finally sat down on my bed and I cast a Silencio spell around the bed.

"What do you think of Electra Malfoy?" I think she is really pretty, she seems nice enough if we were to be friends. But I want Freds opinion.

"I don't know, she seems cool. She had a point at dinner, just because our parents are famous doesn't make us any better. I mean she cant be all that bad, she is in Gryffindor." He half smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Yea, she is really pretty isn't she?"

"Yea, you noticed too?"

"Yea, maybe we should try to become her friend then see if she likes either of us more" I suggested.

"Well it wont be you, your fathers hate each other a lot. Plus you royally screwed up today at dinner" He said with a look of disgust on his face.

"Whatever, I guess its on" I challenged, im thee one with a hang out time with her tomorrow.


Authors Note: Ok I know it's a lot crammed into one chapter, and I know a fight seems a little early on but im just trying to show how much the past will effect this story. Electra is turning some heads already… uh oh! Please review!
