Every day as a young Malfoy – Draco and his twin sister Lucia
"Dwaco, Dwaco!" Lucia toddled out into the field surrounding the Malfoy Manor.
Draco was sitting on the grass, playing with a weasel that was scuttling from side to side.
"Weasel, weasel!" Draco lunged at the weasel, which ran away into the trees, "Stupid weasel." He pouted.
"Dwaco!" Lucia squealed, hugging Draco.
"Lucia! Draco!" Narcissa was standing at the door, smiling fondly at the children, "Auntie Bella's going to be here soon, and you need a bath."
She scooped the pair in her arms, and ran a bath and dunked them in. Draco squirmed and wriggled, while Lucia splashed around happily.
"No bathy mummy, no bathy!" He yelled as Narcissa scrubbed his muddy face.
About half an hour and lots of squirming later, two angelic looking two year olds were sitting on an expensive sofa.
"Auntie Bella!" Lucia jumped off the sofa and hugged Bellatrix, who had just entered the living room. Draco sat, twirling his feet nervously. The last time Bella had been round, he had got told off by her, and that was not a pleasant experience.
"Lucia!" Bella smiled and picked the child up, then turned to Draco, "Does Auntie Bella not get a hug from Draco?"
The boy grinned and hugged Bellatrix.
"Sit down," Narcissa gestured to the many sofas and armchairs in the room, "Dinner's cooking."
When the group had sat down on a squishy sofa, and everyone was comfortable, Bellatrix brought out her handbag.
"Auntie Bella's brought presents!" She beamed, pulling two parcels out of her small handbag. She gave the blue-wrapped parcel to Draco, and the red-wrapped parcel to Lucia.
Lucia ripped open the parcel to reveal two small items. A dark plastic wand was hidden amongst a large, red teddie bear. Draco had the same, in a light shade of blue.
"Thank you, Auntie Bella!" Lucia hugged Bellatrix tightly, then turned to the teddie. "I'll name you…Sprinkles!" She giggled.
"Sprinkles?" Bellatrix laughed, "What's yours called, Draco?"
"Trevor." He said quietly.
"Trevor and Sprinkles." Bellatrix raised her eyebrows.
"Sprinkles and Trevor." Lucia quickly corrected her, giggling.

Six-year-old Lucia tipped her chair back giggling, "One, two, three, entertain me!"
The book the teacher was reading slammed shut, and flew off.
"I guess that book really didn't like you, huh?" She laughed, "Four, five, six, add this to the mix!"
At those words, two glass vases tipped themselves over, spilling water all over the floor.
"Seven, eight, nine, all out of time!" Lucia sang, enjoying every moment. The clock began to tick incredibly fast, as days went past (according to the clock).
The teacher screamed, "That's it!" and ran out of the room.
"And now, ten, all over again." Lucia whispered, and everything repaired itself.
"You shouldn't do that, Lucia." Draco was reading a book labelled "Monsters That Make Great Pets", and shaking his head.
Lucia shrugged, "No harm done."
He slammed his book down, "Our teacher has walked out on us. The third one!"
At that moment, the teacher returned, followed by Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
"Lucia, what have you done now?!" Lucius growled. He looked furious.
"Nothing, father." Lucia opened her blue eyes wide and blinked at Lucius innocently.
"Books... flying… breaking…. EVERYTHING!" Teacher sobbed.
"Flying?" Narcissa stared at her six-year-old daughter, "You made things fly?"
Lucia hung her head, "Yes, mother."
Narcissa looked at Lucius with a surprised look on her face, "At her age? She's only six!" She whispered.
"Don't think you're not still in trouble, young lady." Lucius noticed Lucia looking pleased with herself, "Draco, what did she do?"
"She sang a song." He shrugged, "And things moved."
Lucius and Narcissa stared at each other in bewildered amazement.

"Isn't it exciting?" Lucia skipped alongside Draco and Narcissa down Diagon Alley, "All this Hogwarts stuff?"
First, they went to Ollivanders Wand Shop.
"Ah" A man with crazy hair appeared from the back of the shop, "Mrs. Malfoy! A dark woo- "
"Yes, yes." Narcissa cut him short, "We're here for Draco and Lucia's wands, not an update on what mine is."
"Yes, yes." The wild man started bustling around, taking boxes from shelves. "Miss Lucia Malfoy. Try this one, Oak wood, nine inches, unicorn hair core."
A box was thrust into Lucia's face, so she took the wand reluctantly. After a moment of silence, Ollivander snatched the wand and gave another one to Lucia.
"Cedar Wood. Dragon heartstrings core. Twelve and a half inches."
When she held the wand, it felt warm and tingly. It felt special.
"Perfect! Now, Mr. Draco Malfoy. Hawthorn. Unicorn hair core. Ten inches."
Once they were finished in there, they went to Madam Malkins.
"Mrs. Malfoy? Oh, and are these your children?" A lady, who Lucia supposed was Madam Malkin, greeted them.
"Yes. Lucia and Draco. They need school robes for Hogwarts. I'll be back. Don't leave the shop Lucia."
A tape measure began wrapping itself around then, as another boy, with dark hair and rounded glasses, walked in.
"Ah, another for Hogwarts? I've got two being fitted now, come through!"
"Hi." Lucia said to the boy, "I'm Lucia, by the way."
"Hi." He mumbled. He seemed amazed that the tape measures moved by themselves.
Must be a Mudblood, she thought. Narcissa picked the children up from wherever she had been, and they continued shopping throughout the entire day.

"Draco. Psst, Draco!" Lucia shook her brother awake, "Come on, it's Hogwarts day!"
Draco groaned, "It's three am! It's still dark!"
Lucia dragged Draco out of bed, "We have a lot to do. I'll tell the house elves to make us toast."
And she ran down the stairs to the kitchen, where four house elves lived.
"Dobby! Wake up, Dobby, we want some toast!" She shook awake a house elf, huffing impatiently. "I haven't got all day!"
Once the children were dressed and fed, and were sure they had everything packed, they went on their way to Platform 9 1/3. To make it easier, they apparated, the twins holding onto their parents. Lucia didn't really like apparition, but it was fastest.
"Goodbye, Lucia, goodbye, Draco!" Narcissa hugged them both, "Be good. Yes, good, Lucia. Auntie Bella sends her love and hopes you have fun."
