The manor house just outside the tiny French village was surrounded by beautiful countryside and vineyards. It had ivy hanging over the door, and colourful flowers in the garden, and the local people thought the house was like heaven. It was the perfect place to raise a child, and to hide from those you'd rather avoid........

Once, the secluded house was the home of a couple. The wife was beautiful, always flawlessly dressed in silks and lace, with her long dark tresses swept up and stunning smoky eyes. Her husband was equally handsome, icy blond and tall. They were like yin and yang in their looks, but both were good-natured and kind-hearted. And their union through marriage was perfect, in fact it was not long after their arrival at the village that the wife gave birth to a baby girl.

The people of the tiny village rejoiced and brought gifts to the manor, but in their celebrating few of them noticed the fearful glances passing between their hosts, glances that spoke of long lives on the run and joy cut short.

That night, the wife and husband took a witch from the village to one side, a good friend of theirs, and made a very strange request.

"Dark things are coming," they told the lady, "and our time here on earth is short."

"We have been hiding," said the wife, Marvola. "From my father… A terrible wizard."

"My father-in-law is a man to be feared," said the husband, Octavian. "We left England to avoid him because he tried to force my wife to work with him, to use her special power for evil. If he knows about our daughter then he will surely use her instead!"

"We do not expect to live much longer," said Marvola. "My father has heard of where we live, and his spies are surely on their way here even as we speak."

"Help us," said Octavian. "He must not find out about our daughter! If he does he will realise that my wife's power has been inherited by our baby, and he will surely kidnap the child for his evil plans!!"

The witch, who was called Francis, was horrified and confused, and at first tried to reassure them that everything would be okay. But when they insisted that their time was short, she finally said that she would surely help the couple she had come to love as a son and daughter.

But, surely enough, the couple's lives were cut short. Not three months after the birth of the child, Marvella, the wife and husband were killed in what was said in the village to have been a horrible accident. All mourned the deaths of two people they had loved so dearly.

But Francis knew better, it was no accident, and swore to keep the child from any spies or killers who may still lurk around the village…

Time passed and years went by and the little baby girl grew all up. All the town watched and waited as their most beloved child, more wonderful than either of her parents with a kind heart to match, became their most beautiful young lady, admired by everyone who set eyes on her, the daughter of Marvola and Octavian Malfoy.

They could not yet know that she had a Destiny, and a special power, that would change the Wizarding World forever. They could not know that nothing would be accomplished before she had lead a life of great sacrifice, suffering and love lost then found.

They didn't know that this little girl must choose between good and evil, once and for all………………………………………!
