I stood in front of the small elf was struggling to open the gate.
"Only one more minute miss." The elf squeeked.
I was only mom had five little ones to care father had died only two months before in a muggle car gradmother had plenty of said that what my paycheck couldn't pay for,she only what was getting a job was the only father had been pureblood,while my mom's parents were muggles.
The elf got the gate open and was gesturing me in.
"Thank you." I had never seen a house elf.
He led me up the cobblestone entered,not at the front door,but at a side door.
"Go upstairs one flight,then turn left,the fifth door on the right is yours.I will come get you when the master wishes to see you."
The elf sounded rehearsed. I was overwhelmed. When I got to my room,I set about making it more homey.
I was just putting a picture of my family on the desk when I heard a thumping against the wall. I followed the noise,curious.
There was a door adjar two down from mine,I peeked was a tall man with long blonde hair standing in front of a small boy,with the same almost white boy was crying.
"Father,I want my train back."
"Draco,you do not need toys."
"Lucious,give it back,please,it is his favorite."I noticed a women with long hair in the corner.
"Narcsissa,he does not need toys." The boy was sobbing now,clutching at his fathers robes.
"Please father,please,the train has to make a special delivery to Hogwarts,otherwise the students will not have school books." My brother Tom used tp play such games.
The man looked down with disgust. He turned sharply and left the room carring a small brushed passed me,the woman followed.
I walked in.I didn't know what I planned to do,but I felt that this boy needed I was going to give it to him.
"Hello there." The boy,Draco,looked up.
"What do you want?" His voice was accusing,and smug.
"Are you ok?" I ignored his brothers udsed it all the time,when they wanted to impress.
He broke down.
"NO!Father says that I am too old for trains,or says I should be learning curses and I want to play!"He finished with a defiant note.
"How old are you."He looked around my age.
"Seven." My age exactly!
"When is your birthday,Draco?"
"You know my name?" I nodded.
"I was born on August 5."
"Wow,so was I!"
"So.."
"Well then it is fate,we are meant to me friends."
"Just what a girl would say."He laughed.
Just then I saw a diffrent elf.
"Master Draco,miss,the master wants you in his study."
I let Draco lead.I had no idea where were going.
"Yes father.I was was the man who believed that at seven you were too old to have toys.
"Come here girl."His voice commanded.I took it he was not someone to be trifled with.
I walked toward his desk.I stood there a moment unaware what to do.
"Well,don't you know how to curtsy girl?"I curtsied,but somithing bothered me.
"Sir do you not use names in this house?"
The women laughed.A tinkling laugh.I liked it. Draco looked scared.I wondered why.
"I will not take cheek from ?"I nodded.
"What is your name,darling?"The women asked.
"Kathrine Elisabeth Lowenstein ma'am."
"Katie for short I suppose?"
"Yes ma'am." I was liking her more my the minute.
"Well Katie is going to be my no one else can play with her." Draco stated.
"Draco,she is to be the new maid."
"No she is to be my friend."
"Draco."The man's voice rose.
"I am Master Malfoy,my wife Narscissa-"He gestured to the woman "-is .Understood?" Why was he talking to me as if I was a baby?
"Yes sir."
"Good,now Dobby will show you to the kitchen.''
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor." said.
I curstsied and walked out of the room.
