First: I don't own any canon harry potter characters, I however do own any OC characters, as they came from mine and my brother's imagination.
OK, so basically this story is a little series of drabbles to fill in the missing childhood history gaps in Malfoy Heiress; AKA my brother's story, called Malfoy Heiress- which he is currently editing- And apparently he's renamed the new version "breaking through the paint."
Warning; my writing style is quite different from my brother's, so the language between the different stories will be visibly different.
I have been inspired by many fics, so this fan fiction may/will hold some similarities with others.

Chapter: Misfits are expected to conform
8th July 1984
"Mother please! Do not force me," pleaded Lyrisadora, to her mother who was rummaging through her handbag.
"I said no Lyrisadora, you're are going, and that's final," said Narcissa firmly, Lyrisadora scowled. Narcissa saw this and scowled also.
"Lyrisa, don't silly, you'll love it, It'll be fun," reassured Narcissa. Lyrisadora scoffed.
"Mother it is a garden party!" protested Lyrisadora.
"And a play-date-you spend far to much time reading and not enough time socializing. This party will allow you to make friends with girls your own age," stated Narcissa.
"But mother-" Lyrisadora tried to protest.
"No! You are going whether you like it or not, and that's final," interrupted Narcissa sternly, as she frowned at Lyrisadora. Lyrisadora humped and folded her arms, looking down grumpily in defeat. !Now, come, we are expected at the Pottencrest in less than ten minutes," said Narcissa, as she held out her hand for Lyrisadora to grab. Lyrisadora groaned.
"Oh mother, must we apperate?" moaned Lyrisadora, hating the feeling apperation left in her gut. Narcissa sighed.
"Yes," said Narcissa firmly, she looked at Lyrisadora sternly. Lyrisadora sighed but reluctantly took hold of her mother's hand.
Lyrisadora stumbled as her mother and herself apperated to Pottencrest manor,in seconds. Lyrisadora tried to regain her balance, as her mother lead her to the manors entrance.
Narcissa grasped the dragon door knocker, and knocked firmly. A few seconds past, before the door was opened, by an invisible source; most likely house elves. Narcissa and Lyrisadora stepped into the polished manor. Lyrisadora scanned the open hallway, which was just as immaculate as Malfoy manor.
"Ah, Narcissa, so glad you could come," greeted a low female voice. Lyrisadora's head snapped to the staircase, where a pale dark blond woman, with small green eyes, walked slowly towards them. Narcissa smiled.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world, Henrietta," responded Narcissa. "Isn't that right Lyrisadora?" questioned Narcissa sharply, nudging Lyrisadora to agree.
"Yes mother," said Lyrisadora, trying to sound as sweet as possible. Mrs Pottencrest smiled snobbishly at Lyrisadora.
"Glad to hear. Now, you simply must meet the rest of the guest- I can't wait for Lyrisadora to meet Cassondria, I'm sure they'll get along splendidly," said Mrs Pottencrest, as she led Lyrisadora and her mother to the grand garden, where there was a series of dainty white tables and chairs, under pastel umbrellas. Mrs Pottencrest smiled as she introduced Narcissa to the fellow lady-guests.
"Lyrisa, dearest, go play with the other girls,now," pushed Narcissa. Lyrisadora glanced at the other girls, who where giggling near the shaded area of the garden. Lyrisadora looked unimpressed, and did not move. Narcissa was growing impatient. "Lyrisadora, go now," said Narcissa firmly. Lyrisadora groaned quietly, but did as she was told, and reluctantly walked over to the giggling pack of little girls.
Lyrisadora stopped near them, they hadn't noticed her presence,as it seemed they were to enthralled in their shrill giggling. Lyrisadora eyed them all warily. They were all wearing frilly multi pastel colored dresses, Lyrisadora frowned as she tried to flatten, her equally frilly dress, she felt annoyed that her mother had insisted that she dress like them.
Lyrisadora decided to make her presence known, she cleared her throat loudly. The girls' giggling stopped, as they all stared at her. Lyrisadora stood awkwardly as they scanned her up and down, after a long silence, A honey blond pointed fresh faced girl stepped forward from the center of the group.
"And you would be?" questioned the girl politely yet intrusive , her green eyes, eyed Lyrisadora with crudeness.
"Lyrisadora Malfoy," replied Lyrisadora curtly. The girl's domineer changed instantly,she smiled brightly at her, the other girls quickly followed suite.
"Ah, Lyrisadora Malfoy, A pleasure-I'm Cassondria Pottencrest," greeted Cassondria sweetly, as she plastered on a rehearsed sweet smile, and held out her hand to Lyrisadora. Lyrisadora forced a smile, and shook the hand.
"Pleasure to meet you-I like your dress," said Lyrisadora as she tried to make conversation.
"Oh why thank you-Mother bought it from Paris- now you probably won't know anyone here," drawled Cassondria. "This is Cordula Valens and Lucretia Vetergreen," introduced Cssondria, as she pointed to two girls, one dark light skinned, the other a sickly pale tone, they both possessed dark brown short hair. " Rachel Wringworth, Tracy Davis and Pansy Parkinson," finished Cassondria, as she pointed to the last three girls, who looked younger by two to three years. Lyrisadora gave them a fake smile.
"It is nice to meet you," Lyrisadora greeted.
"We where just talking about dresses!" squealed a hard faced girl, Lyrisadora believed was the one introduced as Pansy.
"Really, how...provocative," said Lyrisadora. Pansy looked confused.
"What does 'Pro-va-cotive' mean?" questioned Pansy in confusion.
"Provocative," corrected Lyrisadora. "It is another word for interesting," elaborated Lyrisadora.
"Oh-why don't you just say that then?" questioned Pansy in confusion.
"Oh be quiet Pansy," snapped Cassondria harshly, Pansy silenced immediately."So, Lyrisadora, what do you like to do?" implored Cassondria, all the other girls stared at Lyrisadora expectantly.
"I-I like to read, study...and well, read," answered Lyrisadora,Cassondria snorted ungracefully. "That's all you do,read," scoffed Cassondria in disbelief. Lyrisadora nodded slowly.
"But what about shopping, and dolls and-and tea parties?" spluttered the girl called Cordula indignantly.
"Well...I personally, do not actually...like those things," answered Lyrisadora nervously. There was an awkward silence, which was broken by the girl called Lucretia.
"Well you'll never get a husband then," scoffed Lucretia snidely. Lyrisadora flushed and frowned at the girl.
"Well, what if I do not want a husband, hmmm? I personally don't care, reading is far more productive then stupid things like tea parties and shopping," snapped Lyrisadora angrily. Cassondria's eyes narrowed.
"What kind of Malfoy, are you?" sneered Cassondria, the former rehearsed politeness gone. Lyrisadora glared at her.
"Is everything alright, girls?" questioned a familiar voice quickly looked up, it was Mrs Pottencrest, who was staring at them suspiciously. Cassondria quickly forced a fake smile.
"Yes mother, everything's perfect, we were just getting to know one another," exclaimed Cassondria in a sickly sweet voice. Mrs Pottencrest smiled.
"Oh good,carry on then," said Mrs Pottencrest, as she walked away. A tense silence issued once she had left. The girl called Tracy looked between Lyrisadora and Cassondria eerily.
"Let's go play," Tracy suggested quickly to unease the tension.
"Yes let's-coming Lyrisadora?" implored Cassondria sweetly, her former politeness quickly returning.
"Alright then," replied Lyrisadora curtly, as she quickly followed the rest of the girls down to the lake, out of the adults view. Lyrisadora eyed the lake fearfully, Cassondria saw this and arched a eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Not afraid of water are we," said Cassondria, a clear sneer in her polite tone.
"N-no," answered Lyrisadora quickly. Cassondria smirked but said nothing.
"So what's the game Cassondria?" question Lucretia eagerly. Cassondria thought for a moment.
"Hmmm, let's see...let's play... Mudblood cooties," said Cassondria, Lyrisadora frowned at this.
"How do you play?" questioned the girl called Rachel.
"The person who's 'it' is the Mudblood, if she touches you, you're infected-so you have to run away from the Mudblood," explained Cassondria. It sounded like a horrible game in Lyrisadora's opinion.
"How do ya become, un-unyfected?" questioned Pansy.
"You have to wipe the germs on the Mudblood," elaborated Cassondria.
"Who's the Mudblood?" questioned Tracy nervously, everyone looked nervously at Cassondria.
"Lyrisadora, you were the last to arrive, so you're the Mudblood," said Cassondria.
"Oh...alright then," said Lyrisadora feebly, Cassondria smirked.
"Great-now close your eyes and count to five," ordered Cassondria sharply. Lyrisadora sighed.
"Alright," said Lyrisadora as she closed her eyes."One...two...three...four...five!" counted Lyrisadora, she opened her eyes, she saw the girls scatter across the garden. Lyrisadora ran after them. She looked around for the girls, she saw Pansy run into some bushes, and quickly ran after her.
Pansy panted as she tried to run, Lyrisadora quickly cached up to her and touched her arm.
"Got you!" cried Lyrisadora, she quickly swerved around and ran in the opposite direction. "One down, four more to go," thought Lyrisadora, she stopped behind a tree to rest, and started breathing heavily. She looked around for anyone else-she spotted Tracy and Rachel duck behind a bush, Lyrisadora smirked and sped after her. Tracy panted as she tried to quicken her pace.
"Got you!" yelled Lyrisadora as she pushed Tracy's back. Tracy frowned as Lyrisadora sped up and tapped Rachel then sped off again.
Lyrisadora panted as she ran through the bushes towards the lake. She looked around frantically. She tried to locate the remaining three girls.
"Where are they?" thought Lyrisadora aloud, as she looked around for the three girls.
"Get the Mudblood!" a familiar shrill voice shrieked. Lyrisadora's eyes widened as the six girl popped out from behind the bushes and proceeded to wipe their hands on Lyrisadora.
"Mudblood! Filthy little Mudblood," chorused the girls mercilessly. Lyrisadora tried to push them off.
"Stop it! Please!" cried Lyrisadora desperately. Cassondria smirked.
"Awww, whot's wong? Wis wittle Wywisadora gonna cwy," mocked Cassondria in a sick baby voice.
"Yeah, it's only a game," sneered Cordula. Lyrisadora tried to shove them away. Cassondria's eyes narrowed, she pushed Lyrisadora into Lucretia, who smirked and pushed Lyrisadora back. Rachel laughed as the girls pushed Lyrisadora back and fourth.
"STOP IT!" shrieked Lyrisadora, she rammed into Cassondria hard, pushing the girl straight into the lake. Cassondria shrieked as she landed into the water with a great splash. The girls screamed shrilly.
"What's going on here!" shouted Mrs Pottencrest, as she marched over with the girls' mothers.
"Help, help!" shrieked Cassondria as she splashed frantically. Mrs Pottencrest gasped and quickly whipped out her wand.
"Wingardium leviosa," Mrs Pottencrest said sharply, as she levitated Cassondria out of the lake. Cassondria clutched herself as she shivered. A nearby servant quickly held out a towel for her, Mrs Pottencrest snatched it from him and wrapped it around her daughter. Cassondria shivered.
"Oh Sondria, what happened?" questioned Mrs Pottencrest soothingly. Cassondria's eyes narrowed at Lyrisadora.
"She, pushed me!" spat Cassondria, she pointed an accusing finger at Lyrisadora, everyone looked at Lyrisadora.
"I-I didn't mean to, it was an accident,honest,I am truly sorry," protested Lyrisadora desperately.
"Of course it was, Lyrisadora would never do something like this on purpose," said Narcissa nervously. There was a long pause.
"Yes...you're quite right,Narcissa, I'm sure it was just a accident-no harm done," reasoned Mrs Pottencrest carefully.
"'No harm done'! Mother I was almost killed," protested Cassondria indignantly.
"Be quiet Cassondria," hissed Mrs Pottencrest. Cassondria's eyes narrowed.
"Well...I-I think it's best we leave now-thank you for having us Henrietta," said Narcissa evenly, as she quickly grabbed hold of Lyrisadora's arm.
"Til next time, Narcissa," said Mrs Pottencrest, slightly more stiffly than before. Narcissa nodded and briskly led Lyrisadora to the house, all eyes following them. "We will talk about this back at home," hissed Narcissa, once they were out of ear shot. Once out of the front door Narcissa apperated them home immediately. The manor doors opened instantly, Narcissa dragged Lyrisadora inside, as the doors shut behind them.
"How could you embarrass me like that," snapped Narcissa, Lyrisadora froze.
"I-I'm sorry mother," replied Lyrisadora meekly.
"Honestly, what would possessed you to do such a thing?" continued Narcissa. "When your father hears about this-"
"Hear about what, exactly?" implored a familiar cool voice. Narcissa and Lyrisadora froze as they looked up to face Lucius Malfoy, who had just entered the hallway.
"Oh...well..." Narcissa trailed off, Lyrisadora hoped her mother would not carry out her threat and tell her father. Lyrisadora knew he would not be happy to hear she had caused a scene and embarrassed the Malfoy name by behaving in such a way.
"You said, that I would be hearing about something, what may I ask is it," exclaimed Lucius irritably, as he stared at his wife and child intently.
"Oh, well, you see, Lyrisadora had a little tiff with some of the girls at the party," elaborated Narcissa carefully.
"And what, pray tell, was this 'tiff' about?" implored Lucius. Narcissa opened her mouth to speak, but Lyrisadora interrupted.
"I didn't mean to cause a spat, the other girls they,they..." Lyrisadora trailed off, she didn't want to be a sneak, but she certainly did not want to be accused of something that was not entirely her fault.
"They what?" pressed Lucius. Lyrisadora's eyes widened as she thought quickly.
"They-they irritated me, all they discuss is clothes, tea parties and dolls, I-I do not like them," said Lyrisadora. Lucius groaned.
"Lyrisadora it doesn't matter if you dislike them, as long as they're bearable, you should socialize with them anyway, because they are the right type of children to associate with," said Lucius irritably, Lyrisadora stared at her parents in disbelief what was the point of having friends you do not even like? She looked at her mother for support, however she was quickly disappointed.
"Your father's right dear-now go to your room and think about what you've done," said Narcissa firmly. Lyrisadora looked between the two. Her father's eyes narrowed.
"Now," he said sternly. Lyrisadora frowned and pursed her lips, she muttered under her breath, as she trudged upstairs.
"It is not fair," muttered Lyrisadora, as she walked down the hallway. She hated those girls, they were vain,snobby and stupid, so why should she even bother to befriend them, they obviously didn't like her, especially now. She was at least grateful her mother did not tell her father about Cassondria's lake accident.
She grumbled quietly as she made it to her bedroom door. And what was everyone's problem with her reading too much. She really couldn't understand her father's mind at times, one minute he was telling her to study, then the next minute he was telling her that she should stop studying and go socialize, it was so confusing at times.
Lyrisadora didn't even know why she needed friends. She stepped into her room and collapsed on her bed, Sapphira nuzzled her face,Lyrisadora scratched her behind the ears.
"I just simply do not see the point of it all ,Sapphira," said Lyrisadora softly. Friends just seemed like a bother to her, it wasn't like she needed them,she had Draco to play with and besides she preferred to be alone, where she could relax and think in peace. Lyrisadora had thought of having friends in the past, she remembered when the desire had become unbearable, but when she had tried to make proper friends on her own, when the rare occasion where she was outside the manor and out of her father's thumb. However these attempts had failed miserably, as the children she had tried to befriend, normally considered her weird and boring, and on other occasions her father would drag her away from children he deemed as 'unworthy filth'. So Lyrisadora had more or less given up trying. Sapphira purred loudly as Lyrisadora began to scratch her belly. Lyrisadora smirked.
"I don't need other company, when I have you,Sapphira," stated Lyrisadora.
"Meow," moaned Sapphira. Lyrisadora frowned.
"What? What on earth, is abnormal on having a cat as my best friend?" implored Lyrisadora in frustration.
"Meowww,"
"Oh yes, because it's very clear that you, clearly have a pack of friends," said Lyrisadora sarcastically.
"Meoow,"
"Oh well fine then, go on then , see if I give a care," snapped Lyrisadora. Sapphira looked at her blankly, then sat up and stretched, before jumping off the bed and squeezing through the bedroom door, out of sight. Lyrisadora's eyes widened. "No,no wait! I didn't mean it,honest-Sapphira! Come back,come back!" pleaded Lyrisadora, as she jumped off her bed and ran after her friend.
Uh yeah...the endings a little strange I know, but studies show many people talk to their cats. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it, I didn't update early because I was busy with my prom (which was awesome!) Here's a lil story...
The zip of my dress broke on the day of prom, which made me have a breakdown, but luckily my older friend Leah managed to call her other friend who was a seamstress, who drove down to my house and sew me into my stitching came undone in the limo, so I had to safety pin a bit of it, all in all it was an okay night-the after party was awesome, ah lols XD.
Anyway, that's just a little blog of my life...review! Pwease.
