Chapter 3 Summary: The twins turn 11 and receive their gifts from their parents and seven-year-old brother. Draco gave Celestia a silver locket encrusted with green emeralds and diamonds surrounding her initials. Inside is a picture of her with her brothers and a picture of her parents. Scorpious received a black dragonhide bracelet. Loran the family owl brings their Hogwart's letters where they are devastated to see they won't be allowed a broomstick until the following year. Narcissa decides to wait until August to buy everything. [Her and Lucius also decide to postpone getting the twin's wands until then, scared of what mischief they can get into before term ends.]

Malfoy Manor and Diagon Alley

Celestia's POV:
"Diagon Alley!" I shout clearly, dropping the green powder into our fireplace. I begin to feel nauseous as I spin incredibly fast, passing by dozens of other fireplaces with their floo open. As nausea creeps in, I decide to close my eyes for the duration. After a minute the fireplace spits me out and I land on something soft.

"Ouch." I smile sheepishly down out at my twin and get off him.

"Sorry." We both look up to see mum step out of the fireplace gracefully.

"All right. Boys go with your father to Gringotts and Flourish and Blotts. I'll head with your sister to Madam Malkin's. Then we can meet at Ollivander's."

Shopping with my mother can be very tiring. I despise standing on a podium while they stick pins here and there for well over an hour. At least shopping at Diagon Alley is more entertaining than when the tailor visits. However, my mother cannot just get what is required. She gets me what is needed, what she thinks I need, and what she wishes I would wear.

"Oh. Look at this Celestia." I put a smile on my face and make my way over to mum. Even though I hate shopping I don't try to let it show. She doesn't have anyone to shop with in England at the moment. My aunt Bellatrix is in Azkaban, although she was never the girly type. Her other sister, my godmother Andromeda, is who she was closest to and enjoyed shopping with growing up. But then she married a mudblood, so we aren't allowed to mention her anymore.

Mum is holding a beautiful long midnight black cloak with dark green embroidery on the bottom and the princess style sleeves.

"That is a one of a kind shielding cloak. We just got it in last week." My mother's eyes widen in awe. She loves rare things. "It has very powerful magic, protecting the wearer from most spells, charms, fire, water, and never gets old or ripped. It also grows with the wearer. Becoming longer to fit the person's figure perfectly. Although it is a bit pricey. Seven hundred and fifty Galleons." My mom looks at me admiring it and smiles.

"We'll take it. Now we must get your school uniform. As well as for you brother." I stifle a sigh. Great another three hours of clothes shopping.

"Actually mum. Can I go across the street to get some sweets? We ran out." I say inching closer to the door. My mom sees this and gives me a miniscule smile.

Ever since the Dark Lord fell from power, the Malfoys were still a dark family in the wizarding world's eyes. For reasons that I still did not understand- we had to act like we did even before the Dark Lord fell. This meant not showing emotion in public and overprotective parents that were afraid to let us out of their sights.

(Flashback to October 31, 1991)

"What do you mean the Dark Lord fell Lucius?" Scorpious and I look at each other silently, not believing the news.

"Isn't that a good thing papa? It means he won't hurt anybody no mores. And you don't either." I interrupt. My father looks at me with a fond smile, not even bothering to correct my grammar.

"Yes, princess it does." He comes over and hugs both me and Scorp to his chest. Now that he has returned, my eyes are drooping with exhaustion.

"I want you both to know that I love you very much. And everything I have done was to protect you, Draco, and your mother." Mum comes over with a terrified look in her eyes.

"Lucius. Does that mean that you will-" She looks at him, choking on a sob. She hides her face in Drakey's blanket and softly cries. Why was mummy crying?

"Yes." He whispers looking at the floor, "The aurors are sending all Death Eaters to be questioned. We both know that for my deeds I shall be sent to Azkaban." Azkaban...was that a town by Diagon alee? Was he not going to live with us anymore? Would he take Drakey?

"Papa I don't wanna you to go!" I cry clutching his leg. "You didn't mean to hurt people!"

"Don't worry child." My cries quiet as I look up and see a man that wasn't there before. The old man is incredibly tall with long silver hair on his head and face. His eyes soften when they see me and my siblings.

"Dumbledore! What are you doing here?" Mum looks at him in fear and stands in front of Papa.

The man- Dumblydoor- looks at her with a kind smile. He then looks behind her to stare at Papa in the face.

"You haven't told her Lucius? One may find that a secret is harder to tell as time goes by." Mum looks at papa who looks down in guilt.

"What is he referring to?"

"After the twins were born, I went to ask him for help." Papa looks at mum with a sad look on his face.

"Ah...yes. I remember that day like it has just passed. I cannot but confess that I never suspected that Lucius Malfoy would walk into my office. Offering anything for the protection of his family, even turning traitor to his master."

"Traitor!"

"Do not look so surprised Narcissa! I would do anything for you and the children! And after he marked the twins right after birth- I knew they couldn't live in the world that the Dark Lord wanted to create! One full of hate and lies!" He goes up to mum and clutches her arms, searching her face for understanding. Drakey whines from between them.

"He planned to use them! Mold them into the perfect future followers. I can't let them or Draco go through that. I can't bear to look at my sons' faces or my little girl's and know that they might commit the same crimes as I! I have killed innocent people and my hands will forever be cursed with their blood!" I start to whimper as I see a tear fall down his face. It was a sight that I have never seen before. He picks me up and clutches me to his chest. I bury my head on the crook of his neck and close my eyes.

"Oh, Lucius. But it's over is it not? The child has ended him?"

"Ah, Mrs. Malfoy. I regret to say that this is not the end. Voldemort is a very powerful wizard, and I am certain that he will come back. You must continue to act the same as always so that when the time comes, he will be none the wiser of where your true loyalties lie."

"Albus, how can you expect me to sit and wait for him to come and take my children away? I most likely won't even be here to protect them by the end of tomorrow. But rotting in Azkaban!"

"Excuse me. But I cannot bear to hear such somber talk. I must get Draco and the twins to bed. Come Scorpious."

"Dad? Is Celestia coming up to bed as well?"

"Don't worry son. I'll take her up to your room in a while." The sound of retreating footsteps replaces the silence until no sounds from mum or Scorpy can be heard.

"I believe Lucius that the best method to protect your children is this. Following the first whispers of Tom's returning, send them away as far from the wizarding world as you can. Speak not a word of their living until the time is right when Tom will fall permanently." Papa kisses the top of my head and holds me closer to him. He is quiet for a while and I pretend to be asleep to hear the conversation. I don't think that I am supposed to be hearing this. Mum and Papa tell me not to listen to adults speaking if I wasn't invited.

"What of Narcissa and Draco? What if the Dark Lord returns when Draco is still an infant?"

"Narcissa should not be told either. The less people that know that the twins are alive the better." Silence continues. "As for baby Draco, I think he is safe for the moment. If Tom did not mark him like he did the twins, he should be safe to stay with you and Narcissa. The pain of losing three children would be too hard for her and suspicious."

"Albus?" I feel papa gulping. "The twins at time show signs... Celestia can speak parseltongue and Scorpious is a Legilimens. These abilities have never appeared in the Malfoy line. At least not from birth."

"Ah, a curious thing indeed. It seems that Tom gave your children a gift, one that should be kept well hidden. I believe they will be an advantage toward them in the future if they learn to control it. Now I really must be going as I am tired from the festivities. I have just come from leaving young Mr. Potter with his relatives. Very peculiar people those muggles are." Papa starts to walk him to the door. Albus, the man, starts humming lowly as he walks behind us. For some reason I open an eye slowly and look at him, wanting to catch a last glimpse of the strange man.

He doesn't seem surprised to see me awake. A smile takes over his face, eyes twinkling.

When he reaches the door. He looks at me and mouths two words that have stayed with me all these years.

Have Faith.

I hear him walk out the door, but suddenly stop.

"You will find Lucius that many Death Eaters were under the Imperious curse. Forced to do his bidding. And with his demise the curses have broken. So, it can be difficult to prove the truth."
