Disclaimer I do not nor shall I ever (unless J.K Rowling has an accident
and leaves them to me) own the characters in this story...except for Arianna
and Arwen.
Author's Note I came up with this story while reading a fan fiction on here called "NL: All Black" I really enjoyed it and I wondered how it would feel to be a female Malfoy just starting Hogwarts and then Arianna was born. I hope you like it!
My name is Arianna Gladariel Betrix Malfoy. I am the daughter of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. I am a Pureblood.
That's how I was taught to introduce myself, except I never said Pureblood. I am a Malfoy and everyone knows not a drop of tainted blood runs through our veins. Of course, not every family is perfect. Many pure wizarding families intermingle to keep the blood clean but this wasn't the problem, we had been doing it for centuries. No, we had blood traitors. Andromeda Black ran off with a Muggle man named Ted Tonks. Both him and their daughter aren't on the family tree. One could call her my aunt, but since neither I nor my older brother Draco has had contact with her we can't think of her as such. There was also my mother's cousin, Sirius Black. He had hurt his family greatly when he was accepted into Gryffindor house instead of Slytherin, where everyone in the family had been sorted. Where I hoped to be sorted. I would be attending Hogwarts next year. Draco, my brother as I have mentioned before, was a Slytherin and during breaks he brought back tales of the happenings at Hogwarts including stories of Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived.
As the Malfoy's had a great deal of money I was never wanting anything. And my being a girl was tolerated because Father already had his heir. Of course being loved and being tolerated are two different things. I knew father would never feel towards me as he did Draco. One would suppose I would be jealous of my brother but although he got Father's favouritism he also got his rage, I on the other hand was not to talk to him unless he summoned me or spoke directly to me. I actually preferred it this way. I had been summoned earlier today. Draco was waiting outside Father's private parlour, he gave me a small smile and said not to worry, Father was in a good mood. I nodded and went inside. I knew Draco wouldn't wait out there for me the whole time but I knew he would seek me out later to be sure I had survived.
I took a step inside and shut the door quietly behind me and clasped my hands behind my back. I had taken great care with my appearance and was wearing a black shirt and knee length skirt over which I wore a black robe with the Malfoy seal sewn into it. I had also worn my white blonde hair down and it reached just below my shoulders. I looked at Mother and Father who were sitting at the small mahogany table, they seemed to have just finished tea as one of the house elves was clearing away the tea things. After he left father told me to sit down.
"Your Hogwarts letter has arrived today." I sat up straighter than before, not because of the letter but because the glare Mother gave me for looking bored. Father never noticed and kept talking. "I am considering sending you to Beauxbatons though. I do not want my daughter to be influenced by that Muggle-loving Albus Dumbledore." I remembered Draco's stories of how the Headmaster allowed Harry Potter to break the rules so many times. Father looked at me. "What do you think child?"
"What do I think?" I was shocked. Never in my eleven years had Father ever ask my opinion. Seeing Father beginning to look annoyed I talked again quickly. "I would like to got to Hogwarts." Father thought for a moment then asked why. "I want to be in Slytherin" was my reply.
Father looked at me and grey met grey. I thought I saw something flicker in his eyes but before I could be sure he looked at Mother who had been sitting quietly and attentively the whole time. "Very well then. You may go. I shall call you when I've reached a decision."
Draco found me later that afternoon picking out an outfit to wear shopping with my friend Arwen Atheneum who would be attending Durumstrang in September. I told him about what had happened. He said I would probably go to Hogwarts as Father had considered sending him to Beauxbatons. Draco then left to meet that stupid lout of a friend Goyle, or was it Crabbe? I shook my head and continued to look for something to wear.
Three days later I was told I would board the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Station in a few weeks.
