"Time to get up Mistress." Dobby, the house elf of the Malfoy Manor, said happily to me before making my breakfast magically appear in front of me.

"Thanks Dobby. You're the best mate." I said sincerely to him with a smile on my face before eating some of the breakfast that he made for me; crispy bacon, thick grits with butter and salt, buttermilk pancakes with butter only, and one hard boil egg and butter toast.

"I hope you're awake my dear." I hear my father's voice from behind my bedroom door as I finished at least half of my breakfast in bed.

"I am Father." I replied quickly before cleaning myself and my bed up a little before my father, Lucius Malfoy, opened the door.

"Get ready once you're done eating breakfast. The family shall be leaving at 10:30 sharp." My father told me before kissing me on the forehead and leaving my bedroom so that I am eat my breakfast and get dressed. Grabbing the piece of toast off the tray and stuffing it in my mouth, I ran over to my vanity table grabbed my brush and began to brush my long wavy locks of black while munching on my toast, once done I raced over to my wardrobe. Grabbing a royal purple robe with silver and black lining I quickly threw it on me, stuffed my feet into my shoes, checking to see that I have my bag, put my birthday ring on, and flew down the stairs as gracefully as one could without falling face first.

"You barely made it, Lyra." My older twin brother, Draco Malfoy, whispered to me before standing straight up. I watched as my parents walked down the stairs together like they ruled the world, which they probably thought that since they did considering that, including my brother, pure-blood were the best. Smiling I walked over to our family fireplace were Dobby was holding a bag of floo powder for us to use.

"Now remember Lyra" my father said in a caring yet firm voice, "just pronounce the name clearly and throw the powered into the pit. We'll all meet up at Gringotts Wizarding Bank at 2. Whatever else you didn't get from the Hogwarts School List, Dobby shall get it for you the day after tomorrow. Be safe, now off you go."

Hugging my brother and waving to my parents I smiled as I climbed into our fireplace. Grabbing a hand full of floo powder, saying 'Diagon Ally' clearly, and throwing it down. Eyes closed and hands and feet pressed together I felt the air around me swirly around me, finally I felt the air go back to normal. Eyes opened I saw that I was indeed in Diagon Ally. Smiling to myself yet again, I walked quickly to my favorite store in the whole wide world, "Flourish and Blotts."

"Good morning Miss. Lyra. Is there anything that I can get for you today?" The owner of the shop, Mr. Taylor, asked of me with a friendly smile on his face.

"I need the school books for the first years at Hogwarts and a few other books." I replied sweetly to him.

"Of course Lyra. You are my biggest reader I must say. You've already purchased over 31 books this summer. I'll tell you what I'll get those books for you and you'll pay half price for those books if you buy 5 more books at regular price?" Mr. Taylor said to me.

"Of course!" I practically screamed in his face before rushing towards the towering book selves filled thousands of books. After what felt like several good 30 minutes I came back from my cave of books with my pickings: 'Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs' by Dylan Marwood, 'You & Your Owl' by an unknown author, 'Self-Defensive Spellwork' by an unknown author, 'A Guide to the Beginners of becoming Animagus' by Y.C.C., 'A Collection of Above Three Hundred Receipts in Cookery, Physick, and Surgery' by a wizard, 'A Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions' by Y.C.C., and 'Magical Drafts and Potions' by Arsenius Jigger. I guess I'm what people call a book worm. The fastest I've read before would be about 500 to about 450 pages a day. This also including me doing all the other things that I normally do during the day; taking a bath at night, eating dinner with the family, music lessons, dance lessons, Dobby time - a time during the night when me and Dobby talk about things and sometimes eat snacks -, and the time that my mother and I spend on learning the edicate and manners of being a women of noble blood or the lessons on our, the Malfoy, history, and of course my own personal time which I spend either reading even more or ridding my boom with my brother. Overall I guess you can say I'm a well shaped girl.

"Already Miss Lyra? It took you a shorter amount of time choosing your books today." Mr. Taylor stated to me while adding the prices of my books together.

"Yes sir, Mr. Taylor. Am kinda in a hurry today, plus I already knew what I wanted to read about." I replied while pulling out my money from my bag. Now my bag was not a normal bag, my father putted a undetectable extension charm on it so that I can place as many things as I want in it- having only have to carry a small bag that has heavy as a cloud - and it was a gift from a 'distant' aunt of mines that my mother hates. Father never told her and instead said that a teacher from Hogwarts, that I've meet before, had gotten it for me since I threw a fit when he thought about throwing it away.

"Well if thats the case do you want me to send this to your house?" Mr. Taylor asked hurriedly of me.

"Oh no, Mr. Taylor. I'll just put them in my bag if you don't mind?"

"Of course, Lyra. Now the total will be 4 gallons 2 Sickles and 7 Knut." Mr. Taylor said to me while I fished out the money. Once the books were safely inside my magical bag and the money given to the book owner, I waved goodbye to Mr. Taylor and walked out of the store only to run into somebody.

"So-so-sorry about that." I quickly said before reaching out for my bag and standing up only to see that whom I ran into was still on the ground. He had a round-face and was somewhat short, with a chubby build and brown hair. Feeling horrible and crappy for bumping into him the I offered my hand to which he took gladly.

Helping the poor boy up he began to tell me his name; "Hey my name is Neville Longbottom. Sorry about that I guess I wasn't looking where I was going."

"It's fine Neville. The name is Lyra. Lyra M. Say are you going to Hogwarts as well?" I asked while shaking his hand.

"Sure am. Can't wait but I don't think I'll be all that great. Family almost thought I was a Squible." Neville explained to be as we both moved to an empty bench in front of Flourish and Blotts.

"Well I wish you the best of luck Neville. Guess I'll see you at Hogwarts!" I said to Neville, both of us standing up, before shaking his hand and heading towards the other shops that I wanted to go to that is until I ran into yet another person. What with me running into different people?

"Sorry about that." I hear a strong young male's voice say to me. Looking up I saw that it was a well built and lean teen with a commanding presence, yet was drew to me that most was his eyes. They had this gentle look about them and they glowed like a gem in the sunset.

"Here let me help you up." the beautiful eyed teen said to me while taking my hand into his and pulling me up.

"The name is Oliver. Oliver Woods. What your name Miss?" the male in front of me asked.

"The name is Lyra. Lyra M." I said softly while shaking his hand which was still holding mines.

"Sorry" we both said at the same time. Laughing we both let go before waving goodbye to each other. I don't know why but my heart was thumping quickly. I wonder just what that means. I hope I don't have a heart problem before I even begin Hogwarts School.

By the time 1pm I had gotten all that I needed - minus my wand and an owl. Smiling to myself I walked over to Ollivanders Wand Shop only to be bumping into yet another person.

"OUCH!" I yelped out before subconsciously rubbing my butt.

"Sorry about that Miss." A boy with untidy jet-black hair, almond-shaped green eyes, and was wearing round-rimmed glasses.

"No, no I'm sorry." I said while grabbing the boy's extended hand towards me.

"The name is Lyra. Lyra M. Say whats your name mysterious boy?" I inquired while smiling.

"The name is Harry. Harry Potter." The boy name Harry replied to me.

Wait. Harry. Harry Potter as in the Boy Who Lived? I guess I must have been spacing out cause Harry was now waving his hand in front of my face.

"Oh sorry about that Harry. I guess I never really thought I'd run into the famous Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. Say are you going to Hogwarts this year?" I quickly explained to him, trying to shake off my little episode from my head.

"Yeah sure am. Well nice meeting you Lyra. Guess I'll be seeing you at Hogwarts." Harry said to me before walking off with this gigantic wizard.

Waving towards him I walked quickly into Ollivander's shop. Looking around everything was rather, well, dusty. Thin boxes were sticking out at odd angles and it looked like a very fine layer of dust was on almost everything.

"Can I help you Miss?" A elderly man, known as Ollivander, said while popped up from who knows where.

Startled I nodded my head quickly while swallowing to get something wet into my dry mouth, "The-the name is Lyra, Lyra Mal..."

"I know you. You're name is Lyra. Lyra Miyako Severus Malfoy. I assume you're here to get your wand, correct?" Ollivander asked of me before climbing this ridiculously tall ladder and shuffling through several of those dusty boxes up near the top.

"Here we are; Hawthorn, 10", with the core of Unicorn hair." I heared Ollivander mumble underneath his breath before handing me the delicately made wand. Not know what to do with it I just stared at it.

"Just give it flick." I heard Ollivander. Giving him a slight nod of the head, I walked over to one side of the room before giving the wand a good flick. Unfortunately several things on that wall caught on fire while the others burst into thousands of piece. Panicking I quickly set the wand back down on the desk before Ollivander put the fire out with his own wand and repaired the broken items. Shaking his head and scratching it with one hand, I watched as he walked further back into his dusty shop. After a few minutes I saw him shuffle back towards me with a deep emerald box with a black velvet ribbon around it.

"Try this one." He said to me while presenting the wand to me. Fearing that I would brake or burn something else I hesitantly grabbed the beautifully made wand. Fingers wrapped around near the bottom it felt like a rush of warm crisp sunlight had gone through me. My hair and skirt lifted a little with the mysterious wind that had appeared around me.

"Amazing. You, my dear, have the wand of a great wand maker. He was even better then myself. That wand you're holding is Rosewood with Thestral Tail Hair and is 9". Take care of that wand my dear cause you'll never find another wand like that." Ollivander said to me before shuffling back to his desk in the back of the shop. Amazed, I turned the handle of the wand within my hands. The details on this wand was phenomenal, the bottom handle shaped like a fencing sword and the rest was 'wrapped' in a vine that twirled around the wand several times. Smiling I quickly tucked my wand on my upper left ear and checked what time it was on my watch.

Now if anybody was watching they'd say that the color from my face completely drained it read 1:55. I had only 5 minutes to run to Gringotts Wizarding Bank before 2. Dashing out the door. I ran passed all whom was in my way. Shops and stands flew passed me as I raced to Gringotts Bank. I skitted to a halt as I about passed the entrance. Huffing and puffing I quickly brushed all dirty off myself before sitting down on the steps leading up to the bank. Smiling, since I didn't see my family and I had 2 minutes to spare, I began to think about all that had happened to me today. I was able to meet two possible classmates and maybe even house mates, one of them being the famous Harry Potter. I had an awesome wand, a new school uniform, several new books to read before school starts, a new cauldron, and several other things like a candy for the trip there and of course the newest issue of The Quibbler, which I take out and begin to read while waiting for my family to come.

"Do I know you Miss?" I hear my brother's voice joke with me while I was reading the newest finds about a new creature. Smiling I gently place the issue back into my bag before giving my brother a response.

"I dare say good sir. I've believe you have the wrong person." I respond with a smirk on my face. Before to long both my brother and I are laughing our heads off at our useless batter.

"Did you get everything that you needed?" I ask my brother while wiping the tear from my eyes away.

"Sure did. I even got this wicked cool owl. Don't know what to name it yet but I was thinking of the name Leon. Say where's you owl, Sis?" Draco asks of me.

Embarrassed to answer I just bit on my lower lip gently. Seeing this, Draco gives me a gentle pat on the back while chuckling.

"You know I wasn't able to get my dress robes yet. So maybe Father can go with you to get your owl while Mother takes me to get my dress robes?" Draco offers while giving off his normal smirk.

"Your the best brother. Perhaps you're right for a change." I said like giving off that similar smirk of his to him.

"Well it seems like you two are scheming something up. I hope it's nothing bad." I hear my father in front of me. Smiling I ran down the rest of the stairs of the bank before hugging my father. Looking up, with my arms still around his waist, I gave him the most sweetest look I could give to him - aka I was Daddy's little angle from above.

"Will you take me to the Eelops Owl Emporium? I was unable to get an owl of my choosing since I took to long in the book store like usual." I said in a sweet voice while flashing my dad my 'charming smile' as he puts it.

Chuckling my Father replied yes, telling Mother that we'll meet up for dinner at the usual place at 5; Father and I walked side-by-side as we headed towards Eelops Owl Emporium.

Once there Father stood to the side of the store while I glanced at the beautiful winged beasts. Smiling, teeth showing a bit, I walked around the store while scooping out my perfect bird. Now don't get my wrong I love every single animal that is to be found - just not snakes or bugs - but I just wanted the perfect bird for me. One that'll be my companion until he/she/it dies. Spotting a rather small Snowy Owl towards the back, I motioned to my Father that I've found the one. While Father talked to the owner about the price and other things needed for an owl of its kind I walked over towards the completely white owl. Arm mounted for the bird to fly on, I watched with anticipation as the bird carefully flew to my arm. Smiling even more then I did before for when I saw the bird I began to stroke its' head with my fingers.

"Look Father!" I shouted over to my Father as he turned around. Smiling at me, I saw him give the money to the owner before walking over with a rather nicer then other cage in his hands; I frowned in response. I've always said that cages were cruel and mean to animals. I've always say that you use them only for extreme means - if the animal is attacking you or is sick and must be kept so that they can get better.

"I know you don't like cages my sweet but we can't have an owl flying about in the restaurant. If it'll make you feel better I can have Dobby watch over you owl." My Father said in a gentle voice. Smiling slightly at him I gave Brendan, it means prince in Irish, as another stroke on the top of his head before gently put him within the cage. With the snap of my Father's fingers I saw Dobby magical appear. I knew that Dobby hated and feared my Father I swiftly but gently took the cage from my Fathers grasp while handing it to Dobby.

"Could you please take Brendan to my room Dobby? Make sure he settles in oh and can you spend sometime with him as well I don't what him to become lonely unless you have work to do?" I asked Dobby giving him a small and fast wink of the eye.

"Yes Mistress I shall!" Dobby shouted enthusiastically before disappearing away from where my Father and I was leaving only a small cloud of smoke in his wake.

Smiling at my Father, he and I walked side-by-side as we headed towards the restaurant while making a quick stop at Florean Fortescure's Ice Cream Parlour.
