Chapter 2 Summary: On October 31, 1991 Lord Voldemort is defeated after trying to kill Harry. The twins are now four while Draco turned 1 almost 5 months ago. The Malfoys wait in the library of the Manor to wait for Lucius, where he brings the news.
January 27, 1998
Malfoy Manor, Breakfast Room
Celestia's POV:
"Mu-um, tell Scorp to give me my pumpkin juice back!" I groan looking at my twin as he grabs it from my side and drinks. He stares at me, daring me to take it back.
"Scorpious, give Celestia her beverage back and sit down for breakfast." I poke my tongue out in victory. He just smiles sweetly back, putting the drink in front of me.
"Happy birthday Sissy." I look down at my seven-year-old brother, Draco, and smile. I accept the small package he offers me, delicately tearing off the silver and green wrapping paper. Inside is a silver locket encrusted with green emeralds and diamonds, surrounding my engraved initials. Inside is a picture of my brothers with their arms around me in a hug, the three of us laughing and waving at the camera. On the opposite side is a picture of mother and father. A rare picture Scorpy captured with his camera, father with his arm around my mother. Her head resting on his chest, both smiling. A rare occurrence that no one apart from my siblings and I have ever witnessed.
"Thanks, Drakey. I love it." I praise capturing him in a hug. He beams up at me, showing his missing front tooth. He saunters over to greet Scorpious and give him his gift. A beautiful black dragonhide bracelet.
Our majestic black family owl sweeps in through the open window and lands on our table gracefully. Scorpious and I grin at each other as we see the two envelopes in his beak.
"Here, Loran." I hand him an owl treat and take both envelopes quickly. Handing one to Scorpious and keep the one addressed to:
Miss Celestia Arabella Malfoy
Breakfast room, Third floor
Malfoy Manor
Wiltshire, England
I eagerly turn the envelope over and tear the seal off. Inside are several sheets of parchment. My eyes scan the first page in anticipation:

"Brilliant!" I look up and see my brother jumping around, showing his Hogwarts letter to little Draco.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart." My dad says walking into the room. He puts an arm around me in a hug while placing a kiss upon my forehead. "Happy Birthday son." After giving Scorp a hug, he flicks his wand revealing the large pile of presents in front of us.
"Thank you, papa."
"What are your brothers going on about now?" He asks sitting down next to mum, barely glancing at his two excitable sons.
"Scorp and I received our Hogwarts letters." I explain.
"That's wonderful. I guess we'll have to make a trip to Diagon Alley soon." I silently hand mum my book list.
"The robes will have to wait until August, no point in getting them now. But the books and wands can be bought soon." Yes. Having a couple months to practice with our wands before we leave for Hogwarts would be amazing.
"What in Merlin's name!"
"Scorpious!"
"Sorry mum. But have you seen this? First years are not allowed to bring broomsticks!" My eyes widen, and I look over his shoulder. Unfortunately, there it was: PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS.
"What! This is preposterous!" I yell. How are we not allowed to have our own broomstick? I've been waiting for this moment forever! How else am I supposed to join the Slytherin Quidditch Team?
"Calm down darlings. I'm sure you will be allowed the following year." I, along with the males in my family, look at her. Does she not understand how big a deal this is?
"Did I say something wrong?"
