Prologue
Lucius Malfoy had a sister, an older sister; Ariadne Malfoy was as beautiful as her brother was handsome, although she was often to be known for her more relaxed composure.
Lucius and his Ariadne were never what you would call close but they were not distant either.
Ariadne graduated from Hogwarts and married into a wealthy pureblood Italian family, the Sabbias. Mario Sabbia, although rich, handsome and most importantly a pureblood, was not exactly what Abraxas and Pandora Malfoy had in mind for their only daughter. They considered Mario a radical…in other words not upholding the usual traditions of purebloods…also in other words, meant that he had not joined the death eaters, as they believed he should have.
Still it was not a bad match, Ariadne would be well provided for with the wealth of the Sabbia fortune and castle. She did seem rather fond of her husband, which could only be good thing.
Not long after their marriage Ariadne discovered she was pregnant with her first child, it would be a boy, the new heir to the Sabbia family.
Not long after Sage Sabbia, a healthy dark haired (like his father) baby, was born. Lucius Malfoy announced his marriage to Narcissa Black. A very good match reported his parents.
Four years into Lucius' marriage Narcissa found herself at last pregnant. Coincidently she found out only about a month after Ariadne found out that she was pregnant with her second child.
Ariadne and Mario's second child was a girl, a girl who possessed dark auburn red hair. "Where did it come from?" "Was Ariadne unfaithful to Mario?" "How could this happen?" the gossip spread as like wildfire, although nobody dared to say anything to the sister of Lucius Malfoy, who denied all charges of adultery. And quite rightly so, how many children had the same Amber eyes as Mario did.
They named her Belladonna.
A month later Narcissa had her own child, a blond, grey eyed son. There was no worry about to who the father was to this child.
They named him Draco.
