Lumos
Chapter 1
Enchanted: Cepheus
This is the sequel to Daughter of Power. J. K. Rowling owns most Harry Potter characters, pairings are mostly mine, and some characters are mine. Might start with songs for each chapter…
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
The night is sparkling
Don't let you go
I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
"Enchanted" by Taylor Swift
Cepheus Malfoy sat on a bench in the courtyard as he watched his sisters Cassie and Del with their friends Isabella Weasley, Carlie Potter, Alice and Dream Longbottom, and, Cepheus sighed, Dominique Weasley. She was off-limits, but that made Cepheus more intrigued. He began to daydream…
Dominique was in a simple 20's style white dress as her father Bill walked her down the aisle to Cepheus. His mother was crying in the front row and his father was smiling. They were about to get married, so close to being husband and wife…
"Cepheus can you walk with me to the feast?" Scorpius asked, waking Cepheus from his reverie. "Um, what? Oh yeah, sure." He replied then got up. Cepheus put his arm around his little brother's shoulder. They started walking to the Great Hall. "So do you have a crush on that Weasley girl?" Scorpius asked. "Um, Scorpius, there's about a million Weasley girls in this school." Cepheus laughed. Scorpius gave Cepheus a look, "You know which one I'm taking about. Dominique? Ring a bell?" "Oh, um Cassie and Del's friend? No, no way." Cepheus lied. "Yeah right." Scorpius scoffed, sounding much like their father. "What do you know about love? You're eleven for Merlin's sake!" Cepheus argued. "I know more than you do. I'm very knowledgeable." Scorpius protested. "Oh, whatever." Cepheus gave up, there really was no use trying to win a fight with their father's mini-me. The two brothers made it to the Great Hall in silence. Cepheus waited for his mum to give a speech like she almost always does the week before the winter holidays. He sat next to the 3rd year Goyle twins as they fought. "Well Mum said-" Violet got cut off by Vincent. "I don't care what Mum said! I want to go to the Holiday party tonight!" "Will you both just shut up?" Albus shouted. It entertained Cepheus until his mother started her speech. Although, he didn't really listen at all. He ate in silence as the rest of the Slytherins ranted and rambled. When the feast was over, Cepheus ran back to the Slytherin common room. Waiting there was his aunt Taylor. "Hey Ceph, what's up?" Taylor asked, sitting on the couch as she painted her nails a dark green. "No- actually Aunt Taylor can I ask you something?" Cepheus questioned. "Assuming you just did, ask away." Taylor answered. "Well there's this girl, she's kind of forbidden, but I- I like her anyways and-" "You mean Victoire's little sister Dominique?" Taylor questioned. "Yes, how did you know?" Cepheus became a little defensive. "I know everything." She gave a little smirk. Cepheus rolled his eyes at his aunt. "It's true." Taylor smiled. "On that note," Cepheus sighed. "What is it I hear about the Holiday party tonight?" "You heard about that? Oh, wow." Taylor shook her head back and forth. "What do you mean by 'oh, wow'?" Cepheus asked. "It's just that, no offense Ceph, but you're kind of a downer. Really, very Hermione Granger-like. Never having any fun." Taylor stated. Count on her to tell you like it is. "Well Aunt Hermione (A/N: Even though they aren't related Devon's kids call Harry and Hermione Uncle and Aunt and vice versa) was Mum's best friend and the smartest in their year." Cepheus pushed up his glasses. He had gotten his grandfather's eyesight. "And a mudblood." Taylor laughed. "Don't say that about Aunt Hermione." Cepheus snarled. "Whatever, you're just a half-blood." Taylor kicked back her head. "I'm more of a pure blood than you are." Cepheus stated. "Excuse me?" Taylor questioned, she was truly confused. "Don't you know that you're dad was a half-blood because his father was a muggle?" Cepheus asked of his aunt's stupidity. How could she think that he was a half-blood without his mum being a half-blood which would make her a half-blood? Taylor shook her head with wide eyes. "Wow." Cepheus muttered under his breath. He never knew how utterly oblivious his aunt could be. Taylor looked as if someone had just killed her kitten Merope. "Seriously? But I thought Daddy was a pure blood. Mum is, I know she is. Right?" She questioned. "Yes, your mum is a pure blood. But as for your dad, he's a half-blood." Cepheus replied. How did this conversation go from Dominique to blood status? He thought. "Whatever, I'm going to go to this party if it's the last thing I do." Cepheus said then got up and went to his dorm.
