Chapter 1

The Letter

Aurelia Amethyst Snape walked happily alongside the Malfoy's as they entered Diagon Alley. She and Draco were starting Hogwarts this year and they were both extremely excited.

Aura and Draco had always been best friends, but now she was nervous she wouldn't be in the same House as him. Draco, apparently, could sense her nerves and said, "Relax, we're going to Hogwarts!"

Aura smiled over at him and merely nodded in response as they made their way to the Apothecary to get their cauldrons and potions necessities first.

"Look at this, Draco!" Aura said, pointing to a golden cauldron and stirring rod once they were inside.

"Wish I could have one of those, but they melt easily." Draco said wistfully.

"Yeah, but they are really pretty." Aura said, taking one of the standard cauldrons.

After getting their ingredients, Mr. Malfoy excused himself to go to Knockturn Alley, that her father had said if she ever went there she would be grounded until the day she came of age or even longer.

With Mr. Malfoy gone, Aura and Draco went into Madame Malkin's while Mrs. Malfoy went to get their books next door.

"Hogwarts, dear?" The same plump witch asked.

"Yes, standard robes and the full uniform for both of us as well as two heavy winter cloaks." Aura said, getting up on a stool while Draco did the same.

Aura slipped into the back to choose the color for one of her cloaks and Draco turned to the boy that had just entered the shop.

"Hello, Hogwarts too?" Draco asked, taking in the boy's appearance.

"Yeah." The small boy answered.

"My mother's next door buying my books, and my friend just went into the back to choose colors for our extra cloaks. Where're your parents?" Draco asked, not seeing the lightning bolt scar covered by his fringe.

"They're dead." Harry answered, not wanting to go into detail.

"Draco, I think this color will look nice on you." Aura said, holding up a dark blue fabric that contrasted nicely with his pale skin.

"That's a Ravenclaw color." Draco drawled, raising a pale eyebrow.

"It honestly doesn't matter, Draco, you can wear any color you like on weekends and on breaks." Aura retorted, looking at the one she had chosen for herself, ivory colored.

"Fine, then that one, I guess." He said, honestly not caring.

"The rest standard, is that correct, dear?" The witch asked kindly as Aura stepped back up onto the stool.

"Yes, that's correct. Who are you?" Aura asked, looking over at Harry and meeting his emerald eyes.

"I'm a new student at Hogwarts." Harry said, avoiding her eyes.

"Were your parents our kind or the other?" Draco asked, not meeting Aura's eyes that were now blazing with anger.

"If you meant are they magical, then yes." Harry answered, disliking the boy more and more.

"Which House do you think you'll be in?" Aura asked, breaking the tension between them.

"I don't know." Harry answered stupidly.

"I think I'll be in Slytherin, my entire family has been in Slytherin. It's a Malfoy tradition." Draco answered the question for him.

"I have no clue either." Aura said, motioning for Draco to carry the packages that were charged to their Gringotts accounts.

As he left to carry the packages Aura said, "I do think that you'll be in a good House, though. My father is Head of Slytherin House so there's an extremely good chance I'll be there too." Aura whispered to him, giving him a small smile and walking over to Draco as they exited the shop together.

They met Mrs. Malfoy coming up the street, hanging on Mr. Malfoy's arm and they waved them over to where they were.

"I've gotten your books and Lucius has the rest of your supplies so now all that's left is your wands." Mrs. Malfoy said seriously to both of them.

They went towards Ollivander's where Draco's wand had just chosen him. He had a fine 10" hawthorn wood wand with a unicorn hair core and now it was Aura's turn.

She tried a few of the wands Ollivander gave her, but none of them worked for her. The last wand he gave her was made of ebony and a dragon heartstring core with a phoenix feather welded into the core as well and it worked perfectly. Aura felt a sort of warmth when she held it and as soon as she moved it blue, green, and silver sparks flew out of it.

"Interesting…very interesting…" Ollivander said as he circled her. "It is interesting that the wand identical to your father's should not work for you, yet the combination combined with a phoenix feather works perfectly." He finished, staring at her in a way that gave her the creeps.

Aura was saved from the rest of the speech by Mr. Malfoy who insisted they leave immediately for a 'special appointment' they were late for.

Aura soon floo'ed back to Prince Manor after saying her goodbyes.

A/N:

I am rewriting this entire story and I want to know if the rewrite or the original was better. I will upload new chapters at least once a week since I am very busy. Hopefully, this one is better than the original since I am putting more time and getting more creative with it.

Please Read and Review!!!
