June 20, 1991
9 years later
It had been 9 years since Lord Voldemort disappeared, 9 years since there is peace in the magical world, then a horrible ten-year experience of a fearsome war that not only threatened the Magic World but also the Muggles.
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy raised Elena as their daughter, they became her godparents, but Elena called them Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius, they gave her the best education to turn her into a great lady of the magical society, to be an excellent wife for Draco and to honor the pure blood and surname of both families
Elena went to the girls' schools while Draco studied at home, they think it's better that, although they grew up together, spend as little time as possible so they do not look like brothers. Although Elena already considers Draco as her brother but for him she was much more than that.
At the age of ten Elena spoke three different languages, she knows how to invoke spells thanks to Narcissa who lent her wand to practice, of course, simple spells so that the Minister of Magic does not attract her attention. She was even excellent at playing the piano and was allowed to play the grand piano of the mansion since Lucius and Narcissa loved that she played.
Many believe that Elena is the daughter of Lucius and the twin sister of Draco, since she has her blond straight hair but platinum that reaches below her shoulders, but her eyes are a deep blue. But Lucius managed to prove that she is the daughter of Blackmore thanks to photography, although they did not find any resemblance to their parents. It was confirmed by the symbol of the Blackmore family necklace that Elena always carries with her.
Osa astra ine ston urano, margaritarenia mou,
Ke lampoun ena ena, ke lampoun ena ena
Toses fores ta matia mou, margaritarenia mou,
Dakrisane gia sena, dakrisane gia sena.
Lucius and Narcissa listened to Elena's singing with a smile, they were proud of her to see that she is a worthy pureblood.
Ayde, kale mana, agapa me ki emena,
Kouni, kale mana, to pedi gia mena.
Anastenazo, de m' akous, margaritarenia mou,
kleo de me lipase, kleo de me lipese.
Ayde, kale mana, agapa me ki emena,
Kouni, kale mana, to pedi gia mena.
"Beautiful!" Lucius says applauding. "A beautiful song and a perfect Greek accent, we definitely send it to the best schools."
"Do not even say it." Narcissa says smiling, "But ... I think it's a very sad song," she says worriedly.
"What are you talking about, Aunt Narcissa?" Elena asks confused.
"It's just that ... whoever hears it will think you're not happy." Narcissa responds by seeing her. "Elena, you have a life that would envy any sorcerer or sorcerer, you had a great education that no witch or witch did not have ... besides that you are so beautiful."
"I like the message of that song, it's also a Greek lullaby, that's why I sing it," he says smiling.
"But…"
"Leave her dear, let her sing whatever she wants, we must also be excited, she and Draco will soon enter Hogwarts to study and become the best witch and sorceress in history." Lucius says with pride.
"But ... we still do not receive our letters." Elena says nervous as she was afraid of not being accepted at school even though it is already proven that she can do magic.
"Patience my little Elena who is still very soon, in a few days those letters will arrive" Narcissa says smiling and Elena smiles.
"Where's Draco?" Lucius asks while looking at the window.
"He went to Crabbe's house" Narcissa says quietly while caressing the head of her goddaughter. "I'll send Dobby to bring him to lunch."
"Well, let him stay a little longer with his friend." Lucius says smiling "Elena, you can do whatever you want."
"Thanks Uncle Lucius." Elena gets up and goes to her room.
"They grow faster every day, it seems like it was yesterday when Draco was born and Elena came into our lives." Lucius says as he approaches his wife.
"What almost ten years ago" smiles Narcissa. "I can not believe that this summer the children will receive their letter from Hogwarts." She grabs a book. "But I'm still saying that we should take Elena to the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic."
"Narcissa we already talked about that."
"I know, I know but ... I think it would be the best since, you know the Hogwarts story." Narcissa says worriedly. "I've also heard that this is one of the best magic schools."
"Dear, I know we have good and bad memories of Hogwarts but ... you know that it is necessary for children to come together, they will go to their parents' school and their ties will become stronger, what is necessary for when they get married in seven years."
"Let's leave it in eight or ten years, you know I want you to take the year to think about what you want to do with your life like any young person." Narcissa says seriously.
"It's okay." Lucius says smiling. "I'll order Dobby to prepare the food, you read quietly while I check some papers."
"Nothing new." Narcissa says funny while putting on her glasses.
Lucius kisses his wife's forehead and goes to his study while she opens the book, but looks towards the window where she can see her garden.
"Almost ten years". She sighs smiling. "I hope everything stays the same."

Michaelson's Pre-Magical School
Inside the garden that was on the outskirts of a castle were sitting many parents and relatives of children who finished their studies to enter one of the schools to learn Magic and Sorcery like all magical children. Most children begin to release their magic but some still do not.
"Ana Vivian Patterson." The Headmaster announces, she is a middle-aged woman with gray hair and green eyes, the mentioned girl walks happily to pick up her diploma while the audience applauds "Oliver Arnold O'Sullivan." The audience returns to applaud . "And now I want to deliver not only this diploma also the badge of honor as it graduates with the best grades and with academic excellence, Alessa Eileen Snape."
Many students, parents and teachers applaud as a girl of almost ten years of brown hair tied to a ponytail and brown eyes goes up to the stage to receive her diploma and badge, shook her hand to the teachers, then the Headmaster l to then return with her classmates, while a student with black hair and green eyes seemed jealous and hateful
"I want to congratulate everyone for their effort, they finished this stage, but they are about to enter into the most incredible of all, learning magic." The Headmaster looks at the children "We wish you good luck and we will soon learn that they will become great wizards, witches, sorcerers or wizards, bigger and nobler in history, congratulations". She returns to applaud.
Everyone returns to applaud and minutes later, the children run to find their parents who were waiting anxiously. Alessa looked around for her father and found him standing in the middle of the audience with a serious, lonely and cold face.
"FATHER!" Alessa runs to him excited and hugs him as she was happy that he has came to her graduation while he just grabs her shoulder and strokes her head "You came."
"Did you think I would miss my own daughter's graduation?" Snape asks earnestly, raising his eyebrow.
"It's just that ... since you are a teacher at a big school, I was afraid you would do it" She says smiling.
"Dumbledore knows that this is important so I accept that he left early on vacation." Snape crosses his arms and looks at the plaque. "I'm proud of you" he smiles a little. "It shows that you have used your time in school with wisdom and that you are ready for the great challenge of learning to be a great witch."
"Thank you father." Alessa smiles.
"I'll talk to the headmaster, wait here." He says, walking away.
Alessa smiles excitedly, her father rarely shows her feelings but telling her that he is proud of her was more than enough.
"Well, well ... but she's the brainiac of the class." A girl says as she and her group approach her.
"Shut your mouth Parkinson." Alessa says angrily
"Or what?" Pansy crosses her arms. "Are you going to accuse me of daddy or your bodyguard?" She says mockingly.
"All right?" A dark-skinned boy with black hair and brown eyes standing next to Alessa.
"No, nothing Blaise, I was just telling Alessa that we might see each other again at Hogwarts." Pansy says smiling with malice.
"You said it, possibly, since my place in the school is insured by my father instead you, if you remember that Vivian and Helen are going to study other magic schools? Right? "Alessa asks mockingly.
"You think the big thing!" Pansy says annoyed to remember that all her friends will not go to the same school.
"Ok, ok enough." Blaise says standing in the middle of both. "You do not want to make a fuss in front of your parents ... right?"
"No, of course not." Pansy says annoyed. "We'll see you soon brainiac and I swear to you that at Hogwarts it will not go well at all," she says, leaving with her friends.
"If I could do magic I would throw all of them ALL! the spells that exist to turn it into an object or animal. "Alessa says annoyed.
"Leave her, she's jealous" Blaise says grabbing her shoulder. "Now tell me, are you ready to leave this nursery and go to a real school?
"I do not know, is that" Alessa looks at the school. "Five years here and we're not going back ... I still can not believe it, in two months I'll go to Hogwarts to learn magic." She says excitedly
"We'll go to Hogwarts, remember that I'll go too." Blaise says smiling.
"I hope, I'll need my best friend in that great place." She says smiling.
"You will not get rid of me easily" Blaise says mockingly and Alessa smiles. "And less in that school where they say it's double this."
"You do not say it."
"Have you already gone?" He asks curious.
"No, Dad says it would cause distractions if I went with him ... Why do you think I had nannies when I was very small and brought me here after?" She says a little sad to remember that her father was rarely with her.
"It's true, well ... you'll be a student first, you do not know anything inside the school" Blaise smiles and Alessa nods a little smiling.
"Alessa!" Snape approaches her.
"Father, do you remember my friend Blaise Zabini?
"A pleasure to see you again ... sir." Blaise says nervously extending his hand.
"Yeah ... I remember you." Snape says unimportantly scaring Blaise. "It's time to go home." Seeing Alessa "I'll go for your things, I'll wait for you at the big door" He leaving both children alone.
"Your dad ... sorry but ... he scares me very much" Blaise says scared.
"He may be scary, but he is very good and he is the BEST father in the world" Alessa says smiling "Well, I will go to say goodbye to the Headmaster and the teachers."
"Hey wait!" Blaise says quickly and Alessa looks at him. "Do not you remember who else comes in this year?"
"I know, Parkinson, how can I not remember?" Alessa says annoyed.
"No ... Harry Potter." He says whispering surprising Alessa. "He is our age so he is going to enter this school ... of course, if he is not a Squib."
"Do not say that, it's the boy who lived for sure it's not a Squib." Alessa says smiling. "Being in the same Harry Potter generation, it's great!" She says excitedly.
"You do not say it, I hope the three of us go to Slytherin, the best house in Hogwarts." Blaise says smiling.
"Well ... I do not care where the house is, the point is to go."
"Yes, but I want to be in Slytherin like my parents." Blaise says proudly. "Besides, you must be in that house, your father was not only in that house, he is the head of the house."
"I know, that's the reason I do not want to be in that house." Alessa says raising her eyebrow
"But ..." Blaise stops talking as he analyzes what her friend said "... no, you're right, I think if my mother were the boss of one of the houses I would quickly wish to enter the opposite houses."
Alessa nods funny when she sees her friend's expression of terror

Narcissa calmly continues reading the book to pass the time while the meal was ready.
"Hi mom." Draco says, a white-skinned boy, blond hair and grizzly eyes quickly approaching her.
"Hi Draco" Narcissa leaves the book and kisses her cheek "Did you have fun with your friend?"
"We spent our skills planing our broom because we want to be the best at that in school," he says excitedly.
"Draco, we've told you that you can not take your Nimbus to school."
"But mom ..."
"Sorry Draco, until next year you can" She says smiling and Draco rolls his eyes annoyed and at that moment Dobby appears in front of them. "Dobby."
"Ma'am, Young Draco, the food is served." Dobby says bowing.
"Excellent, go for Elena ... come on Draco time to eat." Narcissa says as she gets up.
"I'll go for Elena," Draco says.
"Very well, Dobby prepares the table." Narcissa looks at the house-elf.
"Yes, ma'am." Dobby bows slightly and disappears.

Elena was sitting at the window reading a book about Muggles, despite everything her family has said about them and the wizards and sorcerers with Muggle parents who are known as Dirty Blood she does not agree with all that, she finds the world interesting where there is no magic or anything, she wonders how they make her to live.
"Elena." Draco knocks on the door and she quickly hides the book. "Elena, are you there?"
"Yes ... yes." Elena says grabbing a book of magical plants and pretends to read it. "Yes, you can enter."
"Hi." Draco says entering the room and looking at the book. "The world of magic flowers? Seriously Elena? "Raising his eyebrow.
"I like plants." She says in her defense.
"I say you should go out and have fun." Draco says sitting next to him.
"With whom? You know I do not have any friends around here, all my friends from my old school live far away and your father has forbidden me to travel far away even with Flu Powders." Elena closes the book and sighs sadly. "Also, none of them will go to Hogwarts, they will go to a school in America, France and Japan."
"Easy, you have me, Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy."
"How cute you are." Elena says funny. "But you know I do not get along with them, well almost ... I'll NEVER get along with Pansy, you know we hate each other."
"I do not know why." He says confused.
"She thinks I'm weird."
"I'm sure she's jealous because you're my fiancee," he says proudly.
"Not that you were so special." Elena says funny and Draco looks at her badly. "Soon we will go to Hogwarts, I am so excited and at the same time scared since I wonder what house will I be in, if I will have friends? and what will the teachers be like? "she asks nervously.
"I have answers to two of those questions, because I have no idea of the last ... one: you will be in Slytherin as a whole Blackmore and future Malfoy and two: You will have many friends, believe me." Draco smiles at him.
"Do you think?" Elena asks, still worried.
"I'm sure, so there's nothing to fear" he grabs her shoulder and she smiles at him. "Come, it's time to eat ... I hope that foolish Elf has prepared my favorite food" getting up and walking.
"Do not call Dobby that way, he's good and he does what he can," Elena says as she follows him.
"Well, it does not seem."
