A/N: Ok, this is a revised version of the first chapter. Hopefully this is better than the last.


The Long-Lost Malfoy

Prologue

A scream tore out of the lady's mouth. She was lying on a bed, her blond hair sticking to her head with sweat as she labored to birth the baby in her. She was in the maternity ward of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, along with her husband and three-year old son. Narcissa Malfoy gave a final scream as the baby finally decided it was ready to enter the world. The baby was picked up for cleaning as Narcissa's son Draco jumped on the bed to hug his mother and her husband Lucius bent down and gave her a loving kiss.

"It's a girl!" The nurse announced. She turned to Narcissa and Lucius. "What would you like to name her?" she asked, giving the little girl to her mother so she could fill out the birth certificate.

Looking at Lucius, Narcissa thought about all the names they had come up with. Finally making up her mind, Narcissa answered with conviction, "Marianela Helaine Malfoy."

"Nice choice, darling, I love it," Lucius said to his tired wife.

"Mummy, is the baby going home with us? Is she my new little sister?" Draco demanded.

"Yes, honey, the baby is going home with us and she will be your new little sister," Narcissa said to the little boy curled up next to her on the bed.

After Narcissa yawned a couple of times, Lucius decided to take Draco and give Narcissa some time to rest. Lucius took Draco home, promising both him and Narcissa that he and Draco would come back the next day. As she was falling asleep, the nurse came in to put Marianela in her crib.


The first thing Narcissa did when she woke up was to check the crib for her baby, her miracle. Marianela was a miracle in Narcissa and Lucius's eyes because it was very rare for Malfoys to have more than one child, let alone a girl.

When Narcissa realized that Marianela was not in her crib, she screamed. A loud, terrified scream that woke many patients and alerted the Healers and nurses to the fact that something was wrong. The same nurse from the day before, the one who birthed Marianela, rushed into the room and gave Narcissa a Calming Potion. After she had calmed down, the nurse was able to understand that Narcissa had woken up to find her newborn girl missing. With that in mind, she alerted the entire hospital staff, and flooed Lucius, asking him and Draco to come and look after Narcissa as the staff searched the hospital. Lucius was furious; why would someone kidnap his daughter? After searching the hospital for hours, they finally gave up.

Lucius put an article in the Daily Prophet telling about the kidnap and showing a reward for 100 galleons if someone could find her and return her or give information that would lead to her return. Many people came with sightings, but all were false.

After about a month of searching, Marianela was declared dead.
