Hidden Child-Part 1:

Narcissa Malfoy had been tossing and turning all night as she had done for the past few nights. She was extremely nervous about the events that were about to follow. The Second Wizarding War was over and Albus Dumbledore, with the assistance of the famous Harry Potter, had defeated Lord Voldemort and she and her husband had narrowly avoided Azkaban because of her lie. She wondered what would have happened to her son, Draco, who would soon be beginning his sixth year at Hogwarts and her secret Lyra…her's and Lucius' precious and best kept secret and more importantly their daughter.

Lyra Narcissa Malfoy had just turned 11 and Narcissa was thankful that the War had ended because she was refusing to let Lyra be exposed until she was sure it was safe for her. Lucius and Narcissa had taken the dramatic step of keeping Lyra hidden from everyone the moment she was born to protect her and keep her safe. She was born not long before the Second Wizarding War had broken out and if Voldermort had found out about Lyra he could have possibly used her against Lucius and Narcissa. Only Draco and Albus Dumbledore knew that Lyra existed. The girl grew up deep within the shadows of Malfoy Manor and alone, with only Narcissa as a playmate and the two had such a strong bond that the mother was debating on sending her only daughter to Hogwarts.

"She has to go Narcissa. She will be safe. Voldemort has gone and Draco will watch out for her," Lucius had said, "we can't shield her forever."

"But she doesn't know how to cope with anything…"

"Then she will just have to learn fast Narcissa," Lucius said, "Draco will also look out for her at the same time."

"What?" Draco questioned as he walked into the room, "I'm a Sixth Year. I do not need my bratty 11-year-old sister hanging around me like a shadow."

"Draco!" Narcissa said, "you know how your father and I feel about letting Lyra be seen, especially when nobody knows about her."

"More like you. Father doesn't care. As far as he's concerned she could just stay hidden in the shadows her whole life," Draco said causing his mother to turn towards Lucius,

"Lucius…?"

"Yes we agreed to keep her a secret but when she is finally seen in public people will have questions that we will need to answer and then everything will have to come out," Lucius said, "part of me thinks it would be better to leave her as she is. You said so yourself that she wouldn't cope…"

"Doesn't mean she should be treated differently," Narcissa said, "she has the right to an education and she's going to Hogwarts. Yes there will be questions but it's better if she is revealed before someone finds out about her. Now I'm going to go and wake her up and when I get back there will be no more talk of this," she said before rising from her seat and heading out of the room, her cloak sweeping out behind her.

Lyra was still asleep in her room. It was not as dark and black as the other rooms of the house. There was the odd splash of bright colour. Narcissa had argued so many times with Lucius about Lyra having colour in her room but the father had backed down every time. She knew that her mother more than her father was worried about letting her attend Hogwarts and she pretended she was fine with it all, but really she was just as scared as her mother.

Narcissa smiled softly as she saw Lyra still asleep and cuddling her pink, sparkly unicorn teddy. Whereas the family mainly wore black and dark colours, Lyra had been allowed some colour in her clothes but had to wear a black cloak. Lyra really was the Malfoy princess, even if nobody knew about her.

She walked over to her daughter's bed and sat on the edge of the bed and pushed Lyra's hair back out of her face,

"Lyra sweetheart it's time to wake up now," she said softly, "come on sweetheart. Breakfast is almost ready."

Narcissa waited until Lyra began to wake up before she moved.

"Mother…" the girl said as she stretched and yawned before sitting up causing Narcissa to smile,

"Yes sweetheart and good morning to you to. Breakfast is almost ready and we have a trip to Diagon Alley after your father returns from his meeting to get your school things. Until then you can go into the garden today," she told her daughter.

"Ok mother," Lyra said before she rose from the bed and hugged her mother before Narcissa headed out of Lyra's room and back downstairs to join Lucius and Draco, sensing that Lyra was just as scared as she was.

"You've been inside her head haven't you?" Lucius asked his wife as she sat down at the table.

"I know I shouldn't have but she's just as scared. I think you need to talk to her," Narcissa said.

"No I will not. This is your area. Anything with Lyra is," Lucius said.

"Well she needs to be able to talk to you too. I'm not a single parent here Lucius. We both raised Draco and we are going to continue to do the same with Lyra. Now get your face sorted before she arrives," Narcissa said as she heard footsteps and soon Lyra walked into the dining room and both Draco and Lucius looked up.

"Good morning father, good morning Draco," Lyra smiled, "how are you both?"

"Very good thank you," Lucius said, "why don't you come and sit next to me this morning?" he asked, his wife's words echoing in his head. Lyra nodded and went and sat down next to her father. This was going to be an interesting breakfast that was for sure.
