A/N I hope that you enjoy this, it's just an idea that has been floating around my mind and I thought I would write it. Let me know what you think in the reviews, and ask any questions you have. I do not have a BETA so excuse any mistakes, but let me know so I can amend them.
"Tabitha, your Hogwarts acceptance announcement is in The Daily Prophet this morning, would you like to read it whilst we eat our breakfast in the dining hall? After all, it is a special day. Draco, do not sulk so, yours will be announced in June." Narcissa said as the children walked out of their bedroom doors opposite to each other, walking down the hall towards her and Lucius' room.
The three of them made their way to the dining hall where Lucius was already seated, the house elves upon seeing their arrival began to place the food on the table, with several of Tabitha's favourites featured. Lucius looked at his niece and son as they sat down and nodded as he passed the newspaper to the girl.
Tabitha began to scan the page, noting that the portrait that Aunt Narcissa had insisted was taken the week before by a fancy French photographer had in fact been a wise decision as it was possibly the best photograph on the page of announcements. The Prophet ran announcements throughout the year on page 5 regarding the next September's intake of first years, obviously only purebloods and some half-bloods were featured, although Tabitha had never seen a Weasley announced despite knowing for a fact several of them were enrolled at Hogwarts, how curious.
Severus Snape walked into the Great Hall, ignoring the inane chatter of the students and appalling lack of table manners on display, to his chair at the head table. As he sat the Daily Prophet was delivered by an owl, he flicked through to page 5 in order to preview this weeks announcements of the new dunder-head admissions to the next cohort. As he began to read, sipping on his black coffee, he spluttered, and then coughed to cover his surprise.
"Tabitha Estella Prince Black (Pictured, right, by Jean Blanc) has recently had her eleventh birthday (2nd February) which, brought by an eagle owl, confirmed what her loving Aunt and Uncle, Lady and Lord Malfoy have undoubtedly known since her birth. That she is undoubtedly a powerful witch with potential that shall be unlocked at Hogwarts this September. Miss Prince Black has been raised by her Aunt and Uncle alongside her cousin, Heir Lord Draco Lucius Malfoy, since her birth. Lady Malfoy confirms that she has never, nor does she have the desire to see or meet her mother, and has in fact had her health certified by world-renowned MediWizard Reginald Oak. Her father has been notably absent in her upbringing, however it is clear that she has not been disadvantaged by this, the softly spoken, dark haired beauty is clearly a well cared for young witch with untold potential and is our latest edition to the Hogwarts First Year Class this September."
"Prince Black" Snape muttered to himself, as he turned to meet Dumbledore's twinkling gaze he realised that the old man had known the entire time. One of his potions had failed, spectacularly. Merlin.
A/N, I have the 1st Chapter in mind, let me know if you'd like me to publish it or if this isn't a story you'd pursue. Thanks :)
