Chapter 2
All weekend I was excited to go to Diagon alley. My mom had laid out an emerald green robe on my dresser. I guess this meant I couldn't were my civilian clothing. I sighed but put them on without complaining I mean after all they had done I could wear a robe but why I had to wear a green robe confused me then I remembered Slytherin right. I walked down the hall to my brothers room and knocked on the door "Hey dork get your but out here so we can go" I yelled bagging on the door then raced downstairs. My father was up already sitting at the table reading the daily prophet with a cup of coffee. He saw me and looked up and down.
"My you look stunning come here" He said and slapped his leg. I skipped over and sat on his knee with a smile. I had made him happy. He moved a strand of my blond hair aside and put the prophet down "Are you excited" he asked I nodded eagerly the only time I had been to Diagon ally was when I was 9. dad had let me buy a lot of candy and it had been the best time of my life.
"Your letters on the counter you should check to see what you will be needing." I hopped off and went to the counter to see two letters.

I opened mine and tossed the welcome letter to the side. I then unfolded the piece of paper and read off the list. I quickly read though it to see stuff like the robes, winter cloak, a wand, brass scales and so on. My mother came down with my brother and saw me reading. "We'll get going now so we can beat the rush of the other children" she said straining my brothers hair. She held our hands as we went to the chimney and put my hand on her arm
"No grip tight my dear" she said as my father passed her the floo powder.
"Diagon Alley" she yelled and though the powered down in golfing us in a green flame. Suddenly we were transported to the old fire place of a store. It had racks of robes and mirrors with a couple of stools
"Aw happy to see you welcome to Madam Malkins I assume you want some robes" a young lady said. Our mother nodded and pulled us out of the fire place.
"Well I'm sorry but we only have one stool available right now" she said. I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and knew that it was my father.
"That is alright Draco can go first and I will come back with Lilian after we get her wand" My mother said. The lady nodded and took Draco's hand and put him up on the stool. My father escorted me and my mother outside. She placed Draco's letter in his hands "You get the books for these too and I will get some wands" my father nodded and peck her on the cheek before heading into the book store. My mother then turned to me.
"Alright lets find you a wand now" She said and took my hand. We made our way up the street to a little old store called Ollivanders: makers of fine wands since 382b.c.. My mother pushed the old door and walked in not paying attention like I did to the small bell that rang. Inside there were rows and rows of wands piled neatly on top of each other. How was I ever supposed to find mine in this mess? I thought An old man came from behind a self his eyes pale and shining like moons.
"Hello Ollivander" My mother said. I held her hand and coward a bit. Mr. Ollivander seemed a little creepy to me.
"Ah Narcissa Malfoy how good to see you again and so lovely to see your daughter as well" he replied and looked down at me "Are you here to buy a wand little lady" he asked sweetly. I nodded and followed him to the counter.
"No let me see, which is your wand arm" he asked. Mom had told me he would so I replied I was left handed. He went to the back to look at some wands and came back with 5 boxes.
"Lets try this one, Cherry wood and dragon heartstrings 8 inches." he said passing the wand to me. I took it in my hand but as soon as it reached my hand he snapped it out "Well not this one well let me see" he said pulling out a new one "Lets try this, elder wood and phoenix feather core 10 inches" he said and passed it to me. I saw that it had a beautiful design on it which made the wand almost look like it was on fire. As I held it it I felt a warmth in my fingers and sparks flew out the end.
"Ah perfect fit one of my favourites to make I tell you, Elder wood is such a nice wood to make wands out of and phoenix feathers are beautiful" he said handing me the box. I put it back and into my pocket as my mother found a wand for my brother. When she had finished paying she took my hand and we walked back to The cloak shop. As we walked we past by this black haired kid with a giant. I tried to look back but my mother pulled me away.
"You shouldn't stare" she said walking though the door. Draco was just finishing up and hopped off the stool.
"Perfect timing a woman said coming over. "Have her stand on the stool, will you be waiting with her?" she asked my mother.
"I thought I would pop down the street and get the rest of there supplies" she said I looked up at her
"Mom can I have an owl please?"I asked. She smiled.
"We'll see what we can do" She said and took Draco's hand. She kissed my forehead and left. I cautiously got up on the stool. The woman started fitting my robe to the right size. It was pretty boring worth no one to talk to. Suddenly I heard a bell ring and turned to see a girl and her parents walk in. The girl had brown hair that was very bushy. I could tell off the bat that the child's parents were Muggles and turned away. My father told me to never talk to them or there mud blood children. They shouldn't be allowed to go to school he says they our abominations. We should be proud to be mud bloods.
"This is so exciting" The girl said. She was now standing next to me."I mean I knew I could always do incredible things but to be a witch seems so logical" she said in an almost stuck up way.
"Ok dear you can get down now" the lady said. I stepped down and went to the desk. There were 2 brown packages on the counter.
"your mom already paid for them. Have fun at Hogwarts" the lady said and went over to the mud blood girl. I picked up the packages and left with out a word heading to the book store to find my dad.
My father took me down the street when we saw Draco and Mom outside the owl emporium. My mother was carrying a large cage with brown paper. She saw me and smiled.
"Lilian guess what i got you" she said showing me the cage.
"You are the best mom" I said as we started walking back to the nearest floo system. We all walked in and i held my dads arm.
"Malfoy manor" he said and suddenly we were engulfed in flames.
That night Draco was complaining because mom had gotten me an owl but he didn't get a broom stick. I knew really that he was upset because he had talked to Harry Potter(that boy I passed by) and hadn't recognized him. My mom had gotten me a Barn owl she explained because it was one of the purest breeds. I took my bird up to my room and opened the cadge; I took her outside on the balcony and stroked her as I looked at the gate and the road. I couldn't be happier I mean I get to go to Hogwarts I have a bird. As I looked at her I noticed when she showed her wing span it was almost see though. Not only that they glistened with the moon light.
"you see that bright star in the sky" I said pointing to the north star. "Your wings as so light and shiny like the stars. I'm gonna give you the Latin name for star" I said letting her fly off of my arm and into the night "Stella"
