Author's Note: Hello! This is my first fanfiction, so I may be a little (okay very) bad at writing. There may be some/many grammatical errors overall, spelling errors, and whatnot. I apologize in advance. Please review because I'd love to read your advice and improve my writing. The prologue and this chapter is pretty short, but I promise, this story isn't over yet. There are more chapters to come, some are extremely long and some are ridiculously short. Until then, please enjoy and (again) review!
Chapter 1
She was out playing on the snow, so Lupin had some time to prepare. He wanted to make this birthday special for her. He placed the cake on the table. It was tiramisu, her favorite.
"Zabrina, it's getting dark!"
She came in panting. Her cheeks were rosy because of the cold weather outside. She took off her white gloves and placed them on a counter near the front door. Her shoes were wet because of the snow, but she didn't seem to care. Lupin helped her take her navy coat off. He took her hat as well, and placed them both on a rack. He covered her eyes and led her to the kitchen. Zabrina didn't know what was going on, but kept walking because her father led her. When he released her, she opened her eyes and was speechless. Her favorite cake was on the table; it had nine candles. On top on the kitchen counter, there was a long sign saying "Happy Birthday" in various colors. It wasn't much, but she still loved it all the same.
Her smile got even bigger when Lupin came down with a small box wrapped in purple wrapping paper. There was a card on the box, but she was more interested in what was in the box. She gently opened the lid. There was a bracelet inside. It was made up of black strings braided together and had a small ruby in the middle. It was something her father could never afford.
"Dad, this is so pretty! I love it, but how did you-"
"Since this is your ninth birthday, I thought I should get you something special. Don't worry about how I got it. An old friend of mine made it just for you."
She hugged him and he gently kissed the top of her head. She looked up at him with her sparkling, deep purple eyes. Oh, how much he loved her. He would do anything for her, anything for his precious little girl.
"I love you Dad."
"I love you, too."
He smiled at her and she smiled back.
