Chapter One – Time is running out
11:48
Whistles blowing.
Plumes of violet coloured smoke covered the sky.
Laughter. Cries of joy and sadness. Hugs and kisses.
Just the start of another school year.
Teresa-Belle was running very fast through Platform 9 3/4 her long black hair flanked with strategic patches of bleach blond flying behind her off her face. She didn't pause to say hello or talk to those she knew her long pointed face with elegant eyebrows and grey eyes fixed on one place. Standing beside the magical entrance to the platform was her family. It was easy to pick them out amongst the crowd. She made a bee-line for the close standing group of Malfoys their blond hair shimmering in the unnatural light, their smooth pale skin standing out amongst the rest, their steely grey eyes peering around in every direction.
Her mother Anja Malfoy-Ford stood amongst her siblings yelling curses about her father furiously in Russian. Standing beside her was Teresa's sixteen-year-old twin brother Lucius his long blond hair smoothed off his handsome face a look of sympathy directed at his mother. Standing beside him was her younger sister Nadja a girl of fifteen whom was a spitting image of her mother, tall lean and elegant (possibly the most beautiful girl in the school; a direct opposite of Teresa) was holding the youngest member of the Malfoy-Ford family little Mischa trying to calm her against all the noise and commotion. When Teresa arrived in front of her mother the frantic woman roughly grabbed her arm.
"Did you find your father? He hasn't come through yet. I knew he would do this, he never makes the arranged times or dates, he is so unreliable," she ranted in Russian letting go of her daughter.
"Calm down mama he will be here, it is Yuri first day he wouldn't miss seeing him off," Teresa answered back in Russian brushing down her mesh pull over rather annoyed. Lucius gave her a sympathetic look and instantly felt worse for him, he had to hear her rant and moan for the past ten minutes whilst Teresa ran around the station.
"Are you sure he said he was coming?" asked a very worried Yuri. The eleven-year-old boy stood wringing his hands looking around wanting to see his father before he left. Teresa put an affectionate arm around his shoulder.
"Of course he is coming little one he wouldn't miss seeing you off, even if he arrives at the last minute," Teresa said smiling knowing her father would be there. "Where's Brian?" she asked her mother rather tartly referring to their stepfather. Anja caught the tone in her daughter's voice.
"He took your sister home, you know she can't stand loud noises like this," Anja said looking around for her ex-husband. Teresa had to agree. Little Maria Elladora the last child of Draco Malfoy and Anja was eight years old and had been born autistic; and like any child born with autism she couldn't handle loud noises or crowds. Teresa always thought that the birth of her beloved sister Maria was the final breaking point in her parent's relationship after a year of her birth Anja disappeared leaving Draco with five children reappearing three months later with the decision that she could no longer be married to him. In a sense Teresa was thankful for that, she wasn't a particular fan of her mother and the divorce meant that she could spend more time with her father.
Suddenly out of the wall behind them Draco Malfoy appeared. Teresa ran into her father's arms smiling broadly, she knew he would pull through, even though there was five minutes before the train left.
"Sorry I am late I was caught up at the ministry; someone had enchanted some firearms and the new kid couldn't deal with it so I had to sort it out," he said slightly out of breath walking over to the group holding his eldest daughters hand. Draco Malfoy had aged beyond his years, over worked and tired. Lines creased his handsome face and there were traces of silvery grey hair throughout his platinum blond hair. Yet none of that mattered to him; as far as he was concerned he had his health and his family that was the most important thing. Anja wasn't buying it and began to yell at him in Russian.
"It is your son's first day of school and you couldn't take the time off to come and see him!" She began throwing her arms around like a mad woman. Lucius the ever-calm one in the family placed a comforting hand on her arm.
"It is ok mama he is here now," he said relaxing her. She shook her head.
"I am so sorry Yuri I really didn't want to be late, had to apparate right out the front of the platform – oh I will get in trouble for this," he said walking over to his son's side then quickly added, "But none of that matters, I am here for you now; all of you. Where is Brian and Maria?" he asked looking around for his successor and youngest child.
"He took her home," Nadja said bobbing her eighteen-month-old sister in her arms. He nodded and exhaled heavily looking around at his beautiful children smiling. A loud whistle blew. Snapping out of his revere he quickly remember.
"Yuri I got you a present!" he said handing his son the package he had been carrying around. Excited Yuri took it off him and balancing it precariously in one of his arms he ripped open the ratty brown paper to reveal a sleek black cat. The young boy's eyes lit up with joy.
"Thank you so much papa!" he said wrapping an arm around his father's waist. Draco was over-joyed. All the children flocked around the cage and peered at the kitten cooing, little Mischa laughing and clapping at the sight of the kitten. Anja inched away from her children to Draco.
"Draco you know you can't afford that, why do you spoil the children so much?" she whispered in a low Russian accent. Draco just smiled.
"What else am I supposed to spend my money on?" he said simply seeing the joy in Yuri's eyes. Anja couldn't help but smile. For all their problems, for everything they had been through she had to admit Draco was a wonderful father and would do anything and did everything he could for their children; and for that she was thankful. Another loud and demanding whistle blew. Both parents jumped into action.
"Quickly you don't want to miss the train! You all have everything, trunks on the train? Good, good," Anja said lifting Mischa out of Nadja's arms. "Come on all of you come and give you mama and papa a kiss," she said stretching out and arm to kiss all her children on their faces five times each as was tradition. Draco mimicked her actions leaving Teresa, secretly his favourite to last holding her in a lingering embrace.
"Love Tess," he whispered affectionately in her ear.
"Love pa," she whispered into his chest has he smoothed her soft black hair. The hoard of Malfoy children then ran to the nearest compartment. Teresa and Lucius stood in the doorway as the train began to chug off waving a fond goodbye to their parents watching them get smaller and smaller as they train sped away.
