Disclaimer:I DO NOT own Harry Potter or any of it's Characters I just own my OCs and the plot.
I think one of the very first lessons I learned growing up was that there are no bad children, there are only bad parents... Parents can build your world as high and as strong as they please over a course of years, however, no matter how strong they build it, they can always bring it down in a matter of Seconds. So many things in life affect who we're born as, who we live as and who we die as. It's hard to explain These difficulties for not everybody has them. Only those who're cursed with bad parents can understand the pain that a child goes through when their parent doesn't care because whether they realize it or not, it dose hurt.
It wasn't always this way, He used to care. A long time ago. Maybe I should start there, when he cared, maybe then you'd understand a little better...
My Name is Mira Lucissia Bellatrix Malfoy, and this is my story...
~The night I was conceived was one of pure magic, it was early June of 1972 and mother and father had been out for dinner with the minister. They'd had a wonderful dinner and then father surprised mother by taking her to a dancing hall, where they had a romantic evening under the stars in a beautiful ballroom with a roof that was magically modified to show the royal blue sky above along with all its many twinkling stars... That night had been the most magical night of my mother's life, from what she said about it, it was simply too perfect to be true. Then two weeks later, she found out she was pregnant... Father of course had been praying for a boy but alas he would have to wait on his heir.~
"It's a girl!" The doctor exclaimed as the cries of the newborn infant filled the room.
"She's beautiful..." Narcissia whispered, tired as the doctor laid the baby on her chest and Lucius sighed disappointed.
The two Malfoy's could have found out the gender of their child much sooner, however because of their excitement at this being their first; they had decided to let it be a surprise. Lucius looked at his daughter with the feeling of having been let down, however the corners of his mouth began to tug upward the longer he watched her. "Well... I suppose she is beautiful isn't she?" he whispered now possatively glowing with pride and love.
"So, have you two any clue what you're going to Name her?" The doctor asked and Narcissia smiled and was about to say something when suddenly Lucius interrupted her...
"We'll be naming her Lucissia Bellatrix Malfoy..." He said and his wife gave a groan groan...
"Why do we have to name her that... It's such a distasteful combination... It's a horrid name..." She said and at that moment the door burst opened and Bellatrix herself entered the room.
"My name's not that bad..." She teased and her sister smiled.
"Not your name, our new baby's first name... Lucius has decided that she's to be called Lucissia."
Bellatrix scrunched up her nose, but then after a moment of thought she snapped her fingers as an idea cane to mind. "We could call her Lucia or Lucy for short?" She suggested and Narcissia nodded with a sigh.
"Not Ideal, but I suppose that would be excellent." She smiled.
"I'm just wondering why she didn't get the honor of being named after a star or constellation? It is the a Black family tradition after all."
She looked at Lucius, who after a moment of thought said, "I didn't really think about that and Cissy and I agreed that if it was a girl, I would get to pick the name and if it was a boy then she would've got to pick." He said then, "How about we call her Mira Lucissia Bellatrix Malfoy but we can still call her Lucia?" He suggested and everyone agreed then the doctor had to take the baby to be cleaned and vaccinated.
"Bye bye my angel Lucia..." Lucius waved and Narcissia Smiled at her husband.
~The next few years of my life could've been what most might consider to be the Mary-Sue lifestyle, I had it all. Everything. If I wanted a pony, I got five, if I wanted a toy, I got twenty. Quicker and quicker each day, I was becoming the spoiled brat my parents were raising me to be. The only thing that seemed to get to me, was my father's job as a death eater...
With the dark lords most faithful coming in and out all the time, I was used to them but at the same time, they scared me. Whenever they were anywhere near me, I would get this awful feeling in my stomach and such dread like I had never known before or after would fill every inch of me.
Despite these feelings however, my real first bad memory was the first time I ever got sick. Now one night say, "big deal... Everyone gets sick." But this, this was different. I didn't just get sick, I became a Zombie in mind, body and soul. I nearly lost the battle but I survived and to this day I am glad I did.
It always starts with a fever...~
"Mummy... I don't feel good..." The small five and a half year old whined as she entered her mother and father's room, it was late, so they had both just gotten into bed and were both about to sleep, but neither parent had fallen asleep quite yet.
"What do you mean honey?" Narcissia asked tiredly not sitting up but rolling over to face her daughter, who scrunched her face in pain.
"My tummy hurts and my throat hurts and my skin is hot and sweaty but I'm really cold."
"Oh..." The female Malfoy whispered as her husband sat up.
"Dobby!" He called and at the elf's arrival, he was ordered to get Lucia a cold drink and a cloth and with that the elf disappeared only to return a few minutes later with the requested items.
"Alright angel princess, come and lay with us, then in the morning we can have uncle Severus look at you, and see if there isn't a simple potion that can fix you right up." He said and nodding, the little girl was handed the cup and cloth and after drinking some water, she set it on the nightstand, then climbed into the bed with her parents and as she snuggled to them, the cloth was placed on her forehead and within seconds, she fell fast asleep.
The next morning she didn't feel any better, if anything, she felt ten times worse. So as soon as he could, Lucius asked Severus to come take a look at the young Malfoy who was crying from the feelings in her throat, stomach and head... "It's a simple cold... A potion should fix this right up." He said and with that they gave her medicine.
The next day, she felt a little better. Then she threw up and seemed to feel ten times worse than the day before.
Severus took another look at her and gave her another antidote which she immediately threw up all over the potions master. This terrifying cycle of events continued, until young Lucia eventually became bedridden...
"But mummy! I wanna play..." The young girl whined and her mother shook her head as she tucked the Shaking girl in.
"I'm sorry Lucia baby, but the last time you were out of bed, you passed out, you have to stay in bed, till daddy and mummy find you medicine that will work." She said and her daughter nodded sadly.
"Okay mummy..." She whispered as she fell asleep...
Several more days passed and Lucia only continued to get worse. Until finally she was in a coma and her life was hanging by a thread. "Lucius." The man turned to see Severus rushing at him, a vial in his hands.
"What?! Have you found a cure for my baby girl?" He asked and Severus nodded.
"The cause of the sickness, was poison in the food at your last gathering... I was running tests and the poison inside her is almost untraceable, except the person who dished out the poison obviously didn't know their mixtures and mixed it incorrectly Which is the only reason that I was able to trace it."
"And the antidote..?"
"It's right here..." Severus said as he tossed the vial of gold liquid to the blonde who caught it.
"What's in here..?" He asked and Severus smiled sightly at his own work.
"To be completely honest I wasn't sure if this would work because this sickness is like non I've seen before but I know now that this is Surefire because I searched until i found someone who's had this and it works. It's got Over two hundred ingredients, including; Siren blood, crushed Vampire fangs, a unicorn tale hair, Veela blood, Mermaid scales, Phoenix tears, Human blood, and much more.." The potions master said and nodding Lucius was about to turn to go into his daughters room when a thought struck him and looking back at his friend he asked.
"If this Cure has so many different magical ingredients then what are the repercussions, what will happen to her if she takes this?"
"I'm not sure but I know she'll live." Was all the potions master replied and with that and a nod, the Malfoy walked into his daughters room, vial in hand.
"Now I lay me down to sleep..." Lucia whispered along with her mother as the small girls eyes began to close.
"Cissy! I got it! I got the antidote!" He exclaimed as he ran over to his daughter. "Lucia baby, daddy needs you to drink this..." Lucius said and his daughter shook her head.
"Too tired daddy... Oh lookie... A light."
"No! Lucia, drink this!" Lucius said and looking on her desk, he saw a shot needle, they'd. Used to give her pain medicine earlier, using his wand to clean the needle, he put the medicine in it and injected his daughter...
"Hey, daddy! I see grandaddy!" Were Lucia's last words, before her eyes closed and she fell asleep...
