Chapter One
"How was your trip to France, my dear Xandra?" Fiddling with the letter her uncle had given to her, she takes a quick glance towards her mother, and getting off the cream sofa she gives her mother an affectionate hug.
"It was alright mother, a little boring though," she giggled and added, "but in the bright side, I got to see uncle again," she picks up a letter that she left on the sofa moments ago, and hands it to her mother, "Before I forget… Uncle Bome told me to hand this to you." Her mother takes the letter and told her, "Go say hello to your father that you have not seen for many months." Her mother kicks her out, so she can get some privacy.
"Okay mother." Xandra leaves the room and heads for her father's office. She isn't positive he will be in there, but it would not hurt to check. Her father practically lives in that room, never in her fourteen years of living has she seen her father outside the room for a long period of time.
When she reached the door to her father's office, she was very hesitant to knock. Before she left for France, she had a very harsh argument with her father, which led to a very bright red mark on her face and tears swelling up in her eyes. When she gained the courage to knock on the door, someone from the opposite side open the door. She was surprise to see a thrill Mr. Malfoy and his son beside him, in front of her.
"Welcome back, Xandra!" Her father feigning happiness politely pushes both 'gentlemen' in front of him to hug his beloved daughter. 'It seems he is still furious with me." Xandra thought, feeling his arms constricting her small frame very harshly.
"Miss Xandra, it's nice to see you again." Lucius politely greeted her. Xandra father lets go of his daughter and moves her out of the way, so the two Malfoy's could pass through. Lucius secretly scolds his only son, for not greeting the daughter of his business partner.
"Draco you mustn't be impolite." Lucius whispered to Draco as they passed by Xandra and her father.
"Hello Xandra, it's nice to see you again." Draco awkwardly greeted her. Trying to make a small talk with the daughter of the well-known noble, he awkwardly asked; "How was your trip to France if I may ask?"
"It was great and I gain new experiences, thank you for asking." Xandra smiled sweetly remembering the good time she had with her uncle Bome. She was already missing France.
The first day back to Hogwarts was the same as the past years, the first years being excited and nervous waiting for the sorting ceremony, making friends along the way. Older students were reunited with their friends, whom belong to the same houses as themselves.
Xandra was sitting at the edge of the Slytherin table, waiting for her friend, -her only friend- Theodore Nott to arrive. To keep herself entertained in the meantime, she played with a piece of napkin, smashing it into a ball and hurling it round. After a minute or two Theodore arrived, with a sheepish grin.
"It's nice to see your lovely face again, Xandra." Nott commented as he sat next to his dear friend, whom he missed during the summer break.
"How was your summer, Theo?" Xandra asked her friend. She was hoping that he had a great time compare to the year before when the accident occur. Just before Theodore had a chance to respond, Headmaster Dumbledore interrupted announcing that the sorting ceremony was about to commence. The Dining hall got eerily quiet and hence the first years walked through the entrance in a single file-line. One by one the first years were called and sorted into their appropriate houses. This year a few got sorted into Slytherin, unlike last year when many were sorted into Slytherin.
After the ceremony concluded, Dumbledore repeated the same speech; warning them that if they misbehave there will be dreadful consequences that will be brought into action right away. Immediately after the speech the dining hall was filled with laughter, yells, the munching of food that appeared seconds later of the speech.
"I missed pumpkin juice!" Xandra took a swig of the freshly made juice, savoring it as if her life depended on it.
"You're behaving as if you haven't had pumpkin juice in years!" Theo exclaimed as he laughed at his friend's reaction to the pumpkin juice.
"For your information Theo, uncle Bome and I made a bet that whoever drinks, pumpkin juice first has to receive a harsh punishment!" Xandra said as she was stating a fact that everyone knew.
"Isn't your uncle a little bit too old to be doing this kind of things?" Theo questioned as he sipped some of his pumpkin juice as he waited for a reply.
"Uncle Bome is three years older than us." Xandra replied as she saw the face of her friend going from calm to surprise. "What's with that reaction, Theo? I thought I told you before." Xandra added.
"No you never told me; I always imagined an old geezer whenever you spoke of him." He exclaimed. She just giggled as a response and mutter a 'sorry.' She overhears Draco's group making fun of the "Golden Trio" as usual. She stops eating so she can clearly hear the statements from them.
"Harry Potter is a proof that evolution can go in reverse." Draco snickered at his own insult. Laughter exploded from the entire Slytherin table. She let out a low chuckle that got the attention from Draco. He takes a quick glance at her and returns to the conversation he was having with his group of friends.
