The stone floor was cold against the eight-year old's bare feet. Her flip flops had fallen off when she'd came out from the fireplace. They'd landed beside a pale boy who was taller than she was.

The boy scowled at her as he handed back her shoes, clearly not liking this girl with blue hair. Why did she even have blue hair? Didn't most normal witches and wizards have blonde or black hair? That was what he was used to seeing at least. He felt as if this girl could not be a normal witch.

The girl gripped onto her father's hand as they were led into a living area. The room seemed cold to her, even though there was a very nice fireplace with a fire lit in the grate. The furnishings were all dark, with white pillows on the sofa and arm chairs.

Her father sat on the sofa, pulling his daughter onto his lap while her twin sat beside him. She stayed quiet, rather fearful of being in such a new place.

Just that morning she had been ripped away from everything she knew and had loved. She'd been ripped away from the manor by the beach. She'd been ripped away from Australia and the warm breezes. She had been ripped away from her overbearing mother. Now, she was in a different country with only her father and brother. It was terrifying.

"Lucius, you can't allow Serafine to know we're here." The older of the two men spoke. His accent wasn't Australia. Instead, it was a sort of mix of Cheshire and Australia. An odd sound, but fairly pleasant after a few moments of hearing the man speak.

"And why is that, Kristopher?" Lucius asked, his voice sending chills down the young girl's spine. She didn't know what it was about him that she didn't like. The fact that his eyes were cold or the fact that his walking stick had a snake on its handle.

"You know how she is, Lucius." Kristopher glanced down at his two children for a moment. It was as if he were doing this for them. As if he didn't trust their mother.

"Children," said the woman with black and blonde hair. "Why don't you play outside?" She gave the twins a small smile before looking to her son. "Draco, show your guests out."

The small blonde boy nodded once before he stood from his seat by his mother. He gestured to the two other children, soon leading them out of the house and to the garden. As soon as he realised neither his mother nor father would hear him, he turned on the little girl.

"Why is your hair blue? It isn't natural." He sneered, causing the other boy to give him what appeared to be a death glare.

"Leave my sister alone, you clockpole." The other boy said in a rather thick accent that clearly was not anywhere in Europe.

The girl put her hand on her brother's shoulder. "It's alright, Kota." She said her voice very soft and meek sounding. "My hair's always different colours. It's been like that since I was a baby."

Draco looked at her for a moment, before he simply shook his head. "What's your name then?"

The girl brushed a long strand of hair behind her ear, before addressing him. "My name is Saphira." She said, trying not to stumble over any of her words. Which was rather hard considering the fact she was very sad and very confused on where she was and who this boy was.

"That's an odd name." Draco scoffed at her. He hardly noticed that her hair was beginning to turn a shade of red.

"Saph, Kota." Kristopher's voice rang out just before Saphira threw something at the blonde boy who had thoroughly annoyed her. "Time to go."

As her brother took her by the hand and rushed her back to the house, Saphira couldn't help but hope that this would be the last time she saw that Draco Malfoy. She hoped they would be returning to Australia, where she could live out her days in peace. She hoped that she could simply go back to how life had been just four hours ago.

However, she had her hopes crushed on both counts. This would not be the last time she saw Draco Malfoy. She would see him many times for the next three years before she went to Hogwarts, they would get into a fight each time. She also would not return to Australia for any reason. She would continue to live in dreary London until the time came where she and her twin would go to Hogwarts.
