A/N: This chapter is just of Skylar getting all the things she needs for her homeschooling I'm not actually going to write about the two years I'm just giving you a little peek of her personality before we really start to story. Sorry for the long chapter I had to fit everything in.
Chapter 2
Diagon Alley
Skylar grumbled as she felt a knobby finger poke her back.
"Mistress Skylar? Cadby is sorry to wake you but you really must get going. Mistress Astoria is waiting for you." Cadby, one of her family's many house elves, exclaimed.
Skylar popped her head off the pillow. "We're going to Diagon Alley today aren't we?"
"Yes, yes," Cadby replied. "And Miss better hurry if she doesn't want to be late."
Skylar jumped out of bed and threw on some black jeans and a red and black plaid shirt.
"I really don't know why we have to do now when we can go when I actually start." she grumbled as she pulled a brush through her long dirty blond hair.
On the way down her little nine-year-old brother Scorpius poked his out of his room. "I want to go with you guys." he whined.
"Your not old enough yet." she snapped "And besides at least when you go you can actually go to Hogwarts."
Skylar didn't understand why she couldn't go. Her father told her that she couldn't go because she wasn't smart enough but how could he know that already before she even started to learn magic! SHe shook her head just thinking about it.
"Skylar dear eat quickly now we have to be there soon or else we might have to wait in long lines." Astoria entered the room wearing a dark purple velvet dress her dark hair dangling over her shoulders.
"I still don't understand why we have to go now when we can go when I actually start." Skyler whined
"Just to get the feel of it dear." Astoria replied
"But you know I'm not a morning person why can't we go later?"
"Stop arguing with your mother Skylar." Draco snapped as he entered the room. Skylar immediately sat down and started shoveling food into her mouth.
"And for god's sake eat like a lady." he snapped and hit her over the head with his copy of the Daily Prophet. SHe did not wince or make any movement at all to show that it had hurt her in any way. All she did was take small bites just like her father has asked. When she finished she went to go get her coat her went to the living room next to the fireplace ready to take the Floo when Astoria got here. She fiddled with her headphones (some muggle device that could play music if you plugged a wire into this little piece of metal called a cell phone) and plugged them into the small metal piece.
She put the headphones around her neck as Astoria walked in. "Ready to go Sky?"
"Yerp" she answered in her usual quirky way.
Skylar took some Floo Powder and threw it in the fireplace.
"Diagon Alley!" she yelled. Sh felt the usual tugging sensation and then landed in the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron. She stepped out and waited for her mother looking around the place until she spotted a family of five walk in. It was the Potters. Her mother appeared in the fireplace with a woosh and they started toward the brick wall together. The Potters were going in the same direction and they met up just before the stone wall.
"Harry, Ginny." My mother nodded her head in greeting
"Hello Astoria." Ginny and Harry said.
"I don't believe you've meet my daughter, Skylar she's turning eleven in December."
"Hullo." Skylar mumbled looking down at my feet.
"Hello Skylar. This is my son James, my other son Albus, and my daughter Lily. James just turned eleven in October, Albus is nine, and Lily is eight." Said Harry smiling down at all his children.
"Hello." Skylar said again looking up at two boys that looked a lot like Harry the younger one a little mini figure of him and a girl that looked very much like Ginny. I looked at the boy who was supposedly my age. He was staring at me with big blue eyes.
When Harry turned to go and talk with mother James asked, "Why is your hair so long?"
"I don't know I like it long." I replied meeting his stare.
"I like it it's a very pretty caramel color." Lily said shyly.
"Why thank you!" Skylar said happily.
James rolled his eyes and Albus asked "Do you have any other siblings?"
"Yes I do he is your age and his name is Scorpius." Skylar answered.
Al three children started to stare at Skylar and she started to wonder if she had something on her. She looked behind her and saw nothing. What could they all be staring at?
"What are you looking at?" Skylar questioned. "Do I have something on my face?"
"We're looking at you." Sneered James. "A Malfoy I should've known."
Skylar looked down at her feet her heart sinking. She liked these kids. She wanted to be their friend.
Albus seemed to see her discomfort and said "James don't go so hard on her it's not her fault."
Skylar looked up at them tears stinging at her eyes. "Your just like my father, hating people just because of their surname."
She then ran through the gate and pressed the bricks in running through the streets not looking or caring where she was going. She slipped her headphones on and started to play her music. This was a touchy subject for her because her father hated her and she couldn't stand to see other people acting like him.
Oh quiet down, I've had enough
I guess it's now or never
I've been around, I've settled up
I'll bolt soon or later
She finally came to a stop near A store called Mister Suidger's Brooms and sat on the steps.
I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me
A few minutes passed as she sat there wiping her tears and watching the people go walking past.
So pray for me brother
I need redemption
I'm just a man
A man on a mission
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
Pray for me sister
Give me a mention
I got no faith
And oh did I mention
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
I want no trouble
Then she saw the black haired brat coming towards her. Skylar glared at James and slipped off her headphones as he came closer clearly out of breath.
"What do you want?" she snarled.
"I wanted to apologize." he said.
At first she didn't want to believe him but when she saw the shame in his eyes she patted the spot next to her and said "It's alright it's just a very touchy subject for me. Because my father says things like that and well…" Skylar stopped there and James looked at her expecting her to say and when she didn't he looked over the crowd of people.
"So, what house to you want to be in? I'd expect you to be in Slytherin but you just don't seem that type." James said.
"Thanks?" Skylar said laughing. "But I'm not going to Hogwarts. Father doesn't want me to he doesn't think I'm smart enough." She ended the sentence quietly.
"You haven't even learned magic yet how can he tell your not smart enough?"
"I don't know but I'm not going."
"That's to bad I was looking forward to seeing you there." He said smiling.
Skylar blushed muttered a thanks. Their parents got to get them soon after and Skylar got all of her stuff that she needed for homeschooling and her wand. (Holly, 13 inches, Dragon Heartstring, Nice and springy, good for transfiguration.)
Over the course of two years Astoria and the Potters got close so did Lily, Albus, James, and Skylar. (Of course Draco and Scorpius didn't know anything.) Skylar and James got along alright. But and Lily and Skylar were like sisters. And then the summer of 2017 changed everything.
