Voldemort walked into the Malfoy Manor. His daughter was recently born. Cressida Lestrange named after the fourth largest moon of Uranus. She had her mother's features. Pale skin, dark hair no doubt it would be curly, and a chiseled jawline.
Around a year after, Voldemort fell. Still a baby, Cressida Lestrange was in her family's manor when the Aurors came. The aurors arrested the girl's mother for the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom. Searching the house, they couldn't find any signs of life. That was because knowing that aurors would come, those not branding the dark mark would not be able to see Bellatrix's beloved daughter in the mansion. A couple minutes later, Lucius Malfoy came and took the baby.
Ten years later…
"Draco, Cressie, be careful! I don't want to be making a trip to St. Mungo's before you go shopping for supplies." the worried Narcissa called to her son and niece as they were doing tricks on their brooms. Cressie knew she was the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange, but she thought her father was Rodolphus Lestrange. Swooping down and getting off her broom, Cressie went into the manor and called for a house-elf.
"Dobby is here to serve you Mistress Lestrange." the house-elf said as he bowed.
Cressie was mean, yes, but had a soft spot for house-elves.
"Hello Dobby, can you get me some water? I'm really thirsty." Cressie asked.
The house-elf disapparated and came back in a blink with a glass of water.
"Thank you Dobby." she thanked.
"It is Dobby's pleasure to serve Mistress Lestrange." Dobby said.

The next day, the Malfoys and Cressida went to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies.
"Well where should we go first?" Lucius asked the kids.
"Ollivanders." the kids said at the same time. They were more like brother and sister than cousin.
In the shop, Ollivander measured their arm lengths and it took Draco about five minutes until his wand chose him. But, for Cressida, it took her almost fifteen minutes. After they got their wands, the kids went to Madam Malkin's while the parents went to Flourish and Blotts to get their books. There Cressie and Draco were talking and placing bets of what house they would be in. Then, a boy with black hair and round glasses came into the shop.
"Oy! You there!" Draco called to the boy. "You going to Hogwarts too?"
"I apologize for my cousin's behavior. He's sometimes an annoying and idiotic git. Of course he's going to Hogwarts Draco! He looks our age." Cressie scolded Draco for his stupidity.
"Well, yeah I am." the boy said shyly.
Draco was about to say something but decided not to afraid of another scolding.
After the kids got their robes, they went and got their potions supplies.
After a long day of shopping, the kids went to Florean Fortescue's to get ice cream.

Cressie was enjoying a dream of meeting her mother and setting her free and both torturing and killing mudbloods when Dobby woke her up.
"Mistress Lestrange! Master Malfoy requires your presence at breakfast." Dobby said as he shook Cressida awake.
"Alright Dobby alright."
Cressie went down and remembered that she was going to Hogwarts today. Excited, she wolfed down her breakfast and quickly showered.
"Now kids, run straight through that wall." Narcissa told them.
They all ran into the wall and got on Platform 9 ¾. They all said their goodbyes and Lucius gave the two kids a pouch full of galleons and sickles for pocket money.
As they got on the train the two kids found an empty compartment and sat down.
"So, I heard that Harry Potter is going to be in our year." Cress gossiped to Draco.
"Really? You wanna bet on what house he'll be in?" Draco challenged.
"Yeah. My money's on Gryffindor since his filthy parents were in that house."
Just then, two chubby boys came in asking if they could take a seat.
"Depends," Draco said. "What house do you guys want to be in?"
"That's easy, Slytherin." one chubby boy said. "Me too." the other one said.
"What do you think Cress?" Draco looked at Cressida.
"Well they're alright." she approved.
The two boys walked into the compartment. "I'm Crabbe and this is Goyle." chubby number one (Crabbe) introduced.
The boys started to make friends and Cressida sat there bored, stroking her black cat Ace.
"I'm bored," she said as she got up.
She walked into a compartment with the boy whom she saw at Madam Malkin's with a redhead with freckles and a bit of dirt on his nose.
"Hey! I saw you at Madam Malkin's!" Cressie said to the black haired boy. "What's your name?"
"I'm Harry Potter." he responds. The Harry Potter? The boy who lived? That boy is the reason why her mother and father are in Azkaban! Angered, Cassie went and introduced herself.
"I am Cressida Callisto Lestrange." she says, her voice laced with venom.
The redhead started to laugh.
"And I don't think you should be laughing when I resemble my mother so much. And let me guess with red hair, freckles, and a hand-me-down robe. You're a Weasley." Cress says her voice filled with pure hatred.
"What if I am? I'm a Weasley and proud!" the redhead said.
"Proud that you're family has more children than they can afford? Proud that you can't do magic? Proud that you are a blood traitor?" Cressie teased.
"I can do magic!" Weasley screamed with a voice crack.
"Really? Let's go then." Cressida challenged.
"Da - " Weasley began which was probably not a real spell.
"Expelliarmus!" Cress says.
Instantly, Weasley's wand flew out of his and into hers.
"Give him his wand back." demanded Harry.
"No! I think I'll keep it." she hissed.
Getting bored and no longer wanting to touch the blood traitor's wand, Cressie threw it at the window. As she left, she heard Weasley whisper to Harry, "Her mother's Bellatrix Lestrange. She's a psycho. Tortured two aurors into insanity! At least that got her a life sentence in Azkaban."
When Cressida got back to her compartment, she came and saw a new girl sitting there making googly eyes at Draco. "Harry Potter's in compartment C over there." Cress told Draco and the two chubby boys. The boys got up and walked over to the compartment.
Pansy started to make small talk with Cress and she instantly knew she hated the annoying pug faced girl.

As the train pulled up in Hogsmeade Station, the first years took boats to Hogwarts. This was the best school in Britain? Cressida would have had better luck at Beauxbatons or Ilvermorny. She shared a boat with Blaise Zabini who was quite cute and Pansy who would not shut up about Draco and how she loved him and how they were meant to be.
There outside the Great Hall, an old woman walked toward them.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." she began. "I am Professor Mcgonagall, Head of Gryffindor house, Transfiguration professor, and Deputy Headmistress. Here at Hogwarts, there are four houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin." she then began talking about the sorting and rules and other stuff about discipline.
