Chapter One:

Little Brother

"Lorena Marie Antionette Elisabeth Malfoy, get down here right now!" A sharp voice called from the bottom of the stairs. Lorena sighed and pulled on her dress, which reached her ankles. Unlike her mother, she always wore dresses that had long sleves that went all the way down her arm, covering her hand even. Her hair was long, silvery blonde, and always down. Putting on her pendant, she stood up and stepped out of her room.

"Coming, Mother." Lorena called, sighing again and tripping over a random houseelf. Ignoring the elf's hurried apologies, she slowly walked downstairs, wincing a bit as her arm hit the banister softly, looking as though she expected it to make a thwack sound.

"Lorena?" A drawling voice called out.

"Draco! Oh, little brother! How was your summer? It was so lonely with you off in France. Did you have fun?" Lorena said all this as she hugged her little brother tightly.

"Uh..Lorena.." Draco croaked, "I can't breathe...."

Lorena quickly let go, laughing. "Sorry....I've missed you."

"So I gathered....." laughed Draco as they walked to the table and sat down for dinner.

'Dear Diary,

Draco came home today! Father wasn't at dinner, though. I supose it's just as well. My arm still hurts, and Draco wanted to know why I was wearing long sleeves in the summer. Luckily, that new house elf Courtney caused a distraction by spilling soup on his lap. Poor Court. Poor Draco. Ah, well. Draco is going to be in his 5th year at Hogwarts. I, of course, graduated last year, but I have to take another year due to my accumulated absenses over the years. Ah, well. Off to Hogwarts tomorrow. I'll write then, I suppose....'

Lorena turned off her light and quickly fell asleep, as her personal house elf wrapped her injured arm up in cloth. Tomorrow her mistress would leave again....

What's wrong with Lorena's arm? Is the house elf sorry that her Mistress will be leaving? Did the author name the new house elf after one of her favorite fanfic writers? Find out next time!
