Preface

If you were adopted when would you like to know? When you realized you weren't exactly like your so-called family or maybe when you were old enough to understand, either way you would like to know correct? You see I wasn't aware that I was adopted, on the contrary I was quite happy with my family and I looked like them, platinum blonde hair, silver eyes, I looked exactly like my so called twin brother.

Chapter 1

I wake up to an annoying ringing in my ears and slowly sit up in my bed and tilt my head to both sides to crack my neck, I hear the satisfying crack and pull my warm duvet cover off. I grab my contacts from my bedside table, I walk into my bathroom and go towards the mirror. Placing the contacts next to the sink I bend down and splash water onto my face, now that I'm properly woken up, I dry my face and pop my contacts in. I grab my brush and pull my hair out of its braid; I slowly start to attack my hair before pulling it into a low bun and finishing it off with a green and silver clip. I walk out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom to find something to wear for today, I walk towards my wardrobe to grab an emerald green dress and a pair of stockings to wear underneath it, I grab a pair of black ballet flats and walk back into the bathroom to get dressed.

I walk into the dining room to see my brother and father already there; my brother gives me a small smile and my father doesn't even look up from the Daily Prophet. I take a seat next to my brother and we all eat in silence until our mother arrives,

"Draco, Bella hurry up or we'll be late," our mother scolds. I nod and call for Dobby our house elf, he quickly collects all the dishes and disappears again. I get up and follow my mother into the living room, she holds out the Floo powder pouch and I take a pinch, stepp into the fireplace and call out

"Knockturn Alley,"

Borgan and Burkes comes spinning into view and I step out of the fireplace,

"Good Afternoon Mr. Burke, have you got anything new for me?" I say to him; he smiles softly and nods over to the left corner of the shop. I look over and almost squeal with excitement, I walk over and collect a small pouchful of unicorn hair, a vial of unicorn blood, a vial of acromantula venom and a vial of crushed human bone. I thank him and promise to send the payment along with some homemade sweets when I get to Hogwarts, he trusts that I won't lie to him because I haven't before. I go back to where the fireplace is and find Draco waiting for me as well as our mother spinning into view. Draco looks curious as to what I was doing but I just give him a look that says I'll tell you later and he leaves it alone. I turn to mother and ask her where father is, and she replies with

"He'll be here later," I nod, and we set off towards Diagon Alley. I look at my Hogwarts list, glass or crystal vials, pewter cauldron, telescope, animal, wand, robes, brass scales.

"Mother can we go to the Apothecary first?" I ask, she nods, and we set off towards the Apothecary. We buy everything we need plus more, then go out towards Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions to buy our robes. We enter and mother turns to us and says

"Your Father is getting your books and telescopes and I'm going to look at wands, if you're done before your father or I am then come and find me," We both nod, and go to get fitted.

Once I've been fitted, it's Draco's turn so I go and wait near the entrance, I hear the bell on the door jingle which means someone else has entered. I look up and see a skinny boy with messy black hair, broken glasses and startling green eyes. I look behind him and see a giant of a man with an even messier beard with hair to match. I recognize him as Hagrid, the keeper of the keys at Hogwarts. The boy looks at me and I scoff at the fact that a mudblood had the courage to look at a Pureblood like me. He quickly looks away and continues to walk closer to where my brother was, my brother isn't going to like the fact that a mudblood would try to talk to him. I decide to follow the boy and go stand with my brother, I find where my brother's being fitted and see the boy next to him. I can hear Draco bragging about buying a racing broom, so I roll my eyes and walk up next to him.

"Draco why are you wasting your time with this mudblood?" I say and his eyes go wide.

"Sorry sister I wasn't aware," He sneers. The woman that's fitting the mudblood nods her head at him to let him know he's finished, and he walks away. Draco is done almost immediately after and we both leave and go towards Ollivander's, on the way we see the oaf Hagrid and the mudblood eating ice cream. I look away and continue towards Ollivander's, we arrive and find Mother along with Ollivander and Father. We both pick a wand quickly, mine being Yew, 10 1/2-inch, Thestral Hair and Draco's is 10-inch, Hawthorn and Unicorn Hair. We make our way back towards Knockturn Alley so we can go home, Father must have already sent the books on ahead because they were nowhere to be found. We reach Borgin and Burkes and I step into the fireplace, throwing Floo powder into the fire and saying,

"Malfoy Manor," In a green flash of light the living room comes into view and I step out of the fireplace, I dust off my clothes and head up to my room. I change into something comfy and lay on my bed, I stare up at my ceiling for a moment before getting back up to grab a charms book. I get my new wand and open the book to the first page, it's the levitation spell 'Wingardium Leviosa'. With less then a week left before school starts, I may as well get a head start on the spells.
