She was the first and eldest child of the infamous, politically ambitious, Draco Malfoy first advisor to the minister of magic and head of the entire department of International Magical Cooperation especially the department of International Magical Office of Law. Coming from a long line of dark magic worshipping wizards who were all absolutely pure bloods and his wife, healing revolutionizing, ridiculously famous, absolutely gorgeous, graceful, wonderful, Bulgarian Princess Verina Obolensky-Malfoy daughter of the darkest wizard of all time and a tri-wizard tournament winner and was an absolute angel. It was awful. Her mother's story was tragic she lost was orphaned completely by the age of 17 and watched many more people die and Seralynn, her redeeming grace was born on the 7th anniversary of Verina's mothers death. Talk about something to have to live up to. Sera was a quiet sort. Not shy, but her silence was her greatest power. She was cool, graceful, collected. She was serious about her jobs and wanted nothing more than help every single person. She truly believed everyone magical or not deserved the most out of life. Her time was spent trying to keep the peace between countries bring unity to the world, and seeing to the children she cared for so much. She had grown up with the children from the Riddle home and she had seen what a difference kindness can make. She was much different that what people would expect a Malfoy child to be like. She knew about her father's blemished past, and about his current opinions, but she was more like her mother in that aspect she supposed. Without the outgoing bravery, of course. People rarely knew what Sera was thinking or how she felt about anything. She wasn't the type to let her hair down and go crazy, but she was rather odd. She was often found in her room meditating and levitating finding her inner calm as she would often say. She liked to know where she stood so she couldn't be swayed. She painted for fun. And she adored the water. She was just quiet about her oddness she supposed. If there was one thing anyone knew it was how much she loved magic, her family, and the magical community in which she lived in. She at 20 had never lived away from home save to go to school in Cannes. She loved Beauxbatons and all of it's splendor. The wood nymphs, the sparkling palace, the culture, the fact she was one of the only pure blooded witches there. The magic of it all enthralled her senses and she longed to be in the atmosphere most days, but her heart had and always was in England. Right here in the manor close to the children's home. She stretched and reached for her willow wand and with a flick her lights came on and a tiny little house elf came in. "Libby good morning" she said smiling/span/p

" Yes, we do it's called tradition." she said as she climbed in and headed to the cake her mum baked. " Every year without fail. The woman is impeccable." she said stuffing her face. Sera loved her cousin and best friend. They had never really been apart their entire lives. They grew up next door to each other, roomed together at school. Katie was her mother's cousins daughter and also her god sister. She was a beautiful creature a mixed breed of races she was Italian, Bulgarian, English, and African making her the most odd looking sort but somehow still stunningly breath taking. Her mocha colored skin offset well her deep chestnut hair, her features were angled and sharp she was like an exotic painting as her blue eyes stood out more than anything. Sera was not so lucky. She was not tall and voluptuous like her cousin. Rather she was extremely tiny with long white curly hair, rosy cheeks, and violet eyes. She was the carbon copy of her mother save her nose. She had her father's nose. She looked more like a pixie or an angel ornament rather than an exotic african goddess. Don't get her wrong she knew her beauty. She knew what she looked like she came from a long line of beautiful women and she wasn't unlike her ancestors, but she wasn't show stopping like Katie./span/p

Neither of their children really ever got into Quidditch which was odd, but she was sure it had a lot to do with their Great Grandmother's influence to do what they wanted. They both could play, but neither made it their life's passion like their parents. Not that they were disappointed in Katie.

Ink black like their mothers, gray eyes, and a devilish grin he was nothing but trouble. He was a perfect mixture of both of their parents.

Scorpius had black hair, but he was the spitting image of their father. Scorpius was a Healer, Sera into politics, and then there was Severus.

She completely gave up her career after Scorpius was born until Severus was six and just taught for a few hours and did rounds here and there. After that she would leave Severus with their grandparents after his afternoon nap. Scorpius was about eight and so he didn't really care and most times he would go with her. He would follow her around in little blue scrubs and watch her every move in awe.

She was the first and eldest child of the infamous, politically ambitious, Draco Malfoy first advisor to the minister of magic and head of the entire department of International Magical Cooperation especially the department of International Magical Office of Law. Coming from a long line of dark magic worshipping wizards who were all absolutely pure bloods and his wife, healing revolutionizing, ridiculously famous, absolutely gorgeous, graceful, wonderful, Bulgarian Princess Verina Obolensky-Malfoy daughter of the darkest wizard of all time and a tri-wizard tournament winner and was an absolute angel. It was awful. Her mother's story was tragic she lost was orphaned completely by the age of 17 and watched many more people die and Seralynn, her redeeming grace was born on the 7th anniversary of Verina's mothers death. Talk about something to have to live up to. Sera was a quiet sort. Not shy, but her silence was her greatest power. She was cool, graceful, collected. She was serious about her jobs and wanted nothing more than help every single person. She truly believed everyone magical or not deserved the most out of life. Her time was spent trying to keep the peace between countries bring unity to the world, and seeing to the children she cared for so much. She had grown up with the children from the Riddle home and she had seen what a difference kindness can make. She was much different that what people would expect a Malfoy child to be like. She knew about her father's blemished past, and about his current opinions, but she was more like her mother in that aspect she supposed. Without the outgoing bravery, of course. People rarely knew what Sera was thinking or how she felt about anything. She wasn't the type to let her hair down and go crazy, but she was rather odd. She was often found in her room meditating and levitating finding her inner calm as she would often say. She liked to know where she stood so she couldn't be swayed. She painted for fun. And she adored the water. She was just quiet about her oddness she supposed. If there was one thing anyone knew it was how much she loved magic, her family, and the magical community in which she lived in. She at 20 had never lived away from home save to go to school in Cannes. She loved Beauxbatons and all of it's splendor. The wood nymphs, the sparkling palace, the culture, the fact she was one of the only pure blooded witches there. The magic of it all enthralled her senses and she longed to be in the atmosphere most days, but her heart had and always was in England. Right here in the manor close to the children's home. She stretched and reached for her willow wand and with a flick her lights came on and a tiny little house elf came in. "Libby good morning" she said smiling/span/p

Sera heard her bath water drawing and she stood up and walked to her window just in time to see Katie fly to her balcony./span/p

" Yes, we do it's called tradition." she said as she climbed in and headed to the cake her mum baked. " Every year without fail. The woman is impeccable." she said stuffing her face. Sera loved her cousin and best friend. They had never really been apart their entire lives. They grew up next door to each other, roomed together at school. Katie was her mother's cousins daughter and also her god sister. She was a beautiful creature a mixed breed of races she was Italian, Bulgarian, English, and African making her the most odd looking sort but somehow still stunningly breath taking. Her mocha colored skin offset well her deep chestnut hair, her features were angled and sharp she was like an exotic painting as her blue eyes stood out more than anything. Sera was not so lucky. She was not tall and voluptuous like her cousin. Rather she was extremely tiny with long white curly hair, rosy cheeks, and violet eyes. She was the carbon copy of her mother save her nose. She had her father's nose. She looked more like a pixie or an angel ornament rather than an exotic african goddess. Don't get her wrong she knew her beauty. She knew what she looked like she came from a long line of beautiful women and she wasn't unlike her ancestors, but she wasn't show stopping like Katie./span/p

Neither of their children really ever got into Quidditch which was odd, but she was sure it had a lot to do with their Great Grandmother's influence to do what they wanted. They both could play, but neither made it their life's passion like their parents. Not that they were disappointed in Katie.

Ink black like their mothers, gray eyes, and a devilish grin he was nothing but trouble. He was a perfect mixture of both of their parents. Whereas the other two looked like one or the other with one dominant trait from their parents. For instance, Sera was blonde but she was her mother made over. Scorpius had black hair, but he was the spitting image of their father. Scorpius was a Healer, Sera into politics, and then there was Severus. He had his fathers nose, his mothers, chin, his fathers eyes, his mother's hair, he was tall, but he was olive skinned, he was a great quidditch player, but could play the piano better than Mozart. Yes, she knew who that was./span/p

She completely gave up her career after Scorpius was born until Severus was six and just taught for a few hours and did rounds here and there. After that she would leave Severus with their grandparents after his afternoon nap. Scorpius was about eight and so he didn't really care and most times he would go with her. He would follow her around in little blue scrubs and watch her every move in awe. Sera was ten almost eleven and she preferred to spend her days with Katie anyway and they would go to charm school three days out of the week. They were loved and well looked after despite having very career oriented parents. Once her children went back to school though she was full swing September-June Healer and now she ran the place./span/p
