Corwin glanced herself over twice before going downstairs to her Aunt's call. She sighed as she walked into the dining room where Narcissa was waiting for her.
"This came for you, dear." She said with a small grin, handing her the fifth Hogwarts letter.
"Great," Corwin said, unenthused.
"What did she get, mom?" Draco, her ten year old cousin asked.
"It's her Hogwarts letter, dear."
"I'll get mine next year, right?"
Narcissa nodded. "Yes, dear."
Corwin rolled her eyes. Her cousin always seemed to make every situation about him…even at the age of ten. Narcissa turned her head to look at Corwin. "We'll go to Diagon Alley to get your new supplies in a bit, okay?"
Corwin nodded and silently returned up to her bedroom to get dressed. Vylili slithered out of her cage and around Corwin's feet.
"Not now, Vylili, I have to get dressed." Corwin muttered to the snake. Vylili obeyed and returned to her cage as Corwin pulled out a simple black pencil skirt and a green polo shirt. She ran a hand through her hair and stared at herself again. She usually found herself staring at her own reflection, as if searching for any clue in herself leading to finding out who her father was. She had always wanted to know who her father was. She would ask her mother…if she would ever get out of Azkaban.
"Corwin, get ready to go, dear." Narcissa shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Corwin shook her head, hair going wild again, and threw on a pair of black ballet flats. She darted down the stairs, almost falling in the process and took her dark green tailored pea coat from Dobby.
"Okay," Corwin said softly, "Let's get this over with."
"You don't like shopping?" Narcissa asked with the fake smile she usually wore around Corwin.
Corwin shook her head in response. Narcissa shrugged and used the Floo Powder to travel to Diagon Alley. Corwin followed behind her aunt, ready to leave and be back at Hogwarts, where at least people left her alone.
