I run upstairs and look through my closet and see the black dress that is skin tight and easy to move in that Narcissa got me for Christmas last year. She had told me that it would be good for me to wear when I was using magic because it would help me with moving and casting spells quickly. I quickly take off my dress and put that one on and see that it fits perfectly and that I can easily move in it. I then quickly take my hair out of the braid I had it in and brush it out. It falls in a smooth water fall of black velvet past my waist. After I have brushed it to the point where it is shining I pull it in a high braid that I like to put it in when I'm going to do something athletic which tends to be a lot since I am an athlete. I then put on some tall black 3 inch heel boots on. I put in one of my green bags a hair brush, gloves for Quidditch, and the knee high black Quidditch boots that Lucius Malfoy had gotten me last Christmas. I tend to bring the boots when going to Malfoy Manor because Draco and I both love playing Quidditch even though he says that he will get on the team and I won't make it. Narcissa says that she thinks that Draco and I both will make the team while Lucius agrees with Draco because it is rare for females to make the Slytherin House team. My father, Remus, Lucius, and Narcissa have always told me that I will be sorted into Slytherin if I go to Hogwarts because I have all of the characteristics of a Slytherin. It makes sense though since everyone on my father's side has been sorted into Slytherin and everyone on my mother's side except my mother has also been sorted into Slytherin. I know that if I am sorted into Slytherin that I will have many friends because I know most of the pureblooded families in England. As soon as I'm ready I run out of my room and down the 2 flights of steps to the front door where my father is waiting for me.

He looks at me and says, "Are you ready to go and see the Malfoy's?"

I look at him and nod. He looks at me like he is trying to see how I actually feel and sometimes I even think that he can tell what I'm thinking or feeling. He finally nods after looking at me like that for a minute. He then holds out his arm to me and I grab ahold of it and we apparate to the gates of Malfoy Manor where I have spent many dinners at. Lucius and Narcissa tend to treat me like I was their own daughter and before I could walk my father had me stay with the Malfoy's while he was at Hogwarts that way he didn't have to worry about me hurting myself. Narcissa used to rock and sing me to sleep. She told me one time over a Christmas break where I came and stayed with them that she felt like I was her daughter even though she never gave birth to me. She also told me that if I ever needed anything that I was always welcome to come to her. I overheard Narcissa tell Lucius about how she felt toward me and Lucius said that he felt the same but that it was a bad idea to tell anyone that because they knew that Voldemort had tried to kill me when I was but a babe. They are very protective of me since they helped raise me. I look up and see Narcissa running out of Malfoy Manor with her wand in her hand as soon as she got to the gates she waved her wand and they opened. As soon as the gates were open she ran through and caught me in a huge hug. I hadn't seen the Malfoy's since Christmas which is unusual since I usually see them at least once every two weeks. I hug her back because she has always felt like a mother to me especially when my father was never much of a parent. She told me about her older sister Andromeda who married a Muggle-Born wizard and how I reminded her of her and that I was actually named after her since my mother was friends with all of the Black cousins. The Black cousins were Regulus Arcturus Black and Sirius Orion Black who were brothers and Bellatrix Prosperina Black later known as Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda Druella Black later known as Andromeda Tonks, and Narcissa Elizabeth Black later known as Narcissa Malfoy who were sisters. I have only ever met Narcissa but I would love to meet Andromeda to see if what Narcissa says about me being like her is true. I will never meet Regulus because he died in 1979 at the age of 18 one year before I was born. I could one day meet Sirius Black and Bellatrix Lestrange but I would have to visit Azkaban to see them and I can always go meet Andromeda Tonks.

Narcissa pulls out of the hug and says, "Happy Birthday, Andromeda! It's been a long time but I can see that you still like green and black. That dress fits you well. I hope you liked it since I made it myself. I'll make you more as you get older. Go on inside, Andromeda. I need to talk to your father about someone I invited. Go to Draco's room until me or Lucius comes and fetches you from there." I nod, turn around, and head up the path to the quickest way to Draco's room excited to see if he got his letter to Hogwarts since he has just celebrated his 11th birthday on June 9th and today is June 30th my birthday. I get to his door and raise my hand ready to knock but as soon as I do Draco opens the door and engulfs me in a huge hug that is uncharacteristic for Draco Malfoy.

He pulls back and says, "Come in, Andromeda. I have to show you something!" He steps out of the way and I walk into his room and see that he has decorated it with green and black everywhere which are not only my favorite colors but his also. He grabs an envelope and gives it to me. I take it and see that he has already opened it so I pull the letter out and see that it is his acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

I jump up and down for joy and say, "You are so lucky, Draco! What house do you want to be in?"

He looks at me shocked and says, "I'll be in Slytherin. Just like everyone in my family has been. Have you not gotten your letter yet?"

I look at him and see pity in his eyes. I slap him and yell, "Don't ever give me a pitiful look ever again! You know how much I hate pity, Draco!"

As soon as I hit him I hear a gasp from someone behind me and I turn to see Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy looking at me completely shocked. Lucius says, "Why did she just hit you, Draco?"

Draco replies, "I gave her a pity look and I forgot that she hates it. It wasn't Andromeda's fault I should have remembered because she has told me that many times before."

Narcissa says to me, "Andromeda, you need to control your anger. I understand that you don't like someone showing you pity but it is not appropriate to hit someone unless threatened."

I turn into my Animagus form of a white she-wolf and run out Draco's balcony door and jump off the balcony and run to the fountain that they have and change back there with tears streaming down my cheeks from shame because I hurt the one person that I could trust with anything and liked for as long as I can remember.

Meanwhile, after Andromeda left Narcissa, Lucius, and Draco were confused on how Andromeda had become an Animagus without any training in magic yet. Narcissa says, "Was I too hard on her? I was just trying to help her. I know that Draco wouldn't do anything to hurt her on purpose but if she did that to the wrong person she could be hurt."

Lucius replies, "No, she is just having a hard time. Severus can't be that easy to have as a father. We have always known she was powerful but we just didn't know by how much. One of us should go and talk to her. I know that I shouldn't be the one to do it because she trusts me only a little more than her father and she barely trusts him."

Narcissa says, "I'll go talk to her since it was my mistake that made her react like that."

Draco says, "Mother, would you tell Andromeda that I'm sorry I gave her pity?"

Narcissa says, "Yes I will dear. And Lucius, when I bring her back up after I talk to her please don't be hard on her. Her father already makes her life hard so she doesn't need us doing that."

Lucius says, "I'll try not to. I'm going to go talk to Severus. Draco come with me and bring that letter also."

Lucius and Draco walk out and goes to the sitting room to go and talk to the guests that are there while Narcissa stays and watches the girl she feels like is her own daughter and wishing that she was. She never told anyone this but she not only reminded her of her sister, Andromeda, but also of the side of herself that she has to keep hidden from everyone but her older sister Andromeda because no one else would except her for it. It hurt her so much when Andromeda went and married a Muggle-Born wizard because she knew that if she tried to talk to her after she was disowned by the family Lucius and Bellatrix would never forgive her for it and they would call her a Blood Traitor and she would not have had Draco. She understood why Andromeda choose the side she did and she wished that she would have had the guts to marry the half-blood that she loved but unlike her sister she didn't have the traits of a Gryffindor. She knew that Andromeda almost got sorted into Gryffindor but she begged the sorting hat to put her in Slytherin and it did because she also had traits of a Slytherin. Andromeda had only told Narcissa and her husband, Ted Tonks, that she was almost put in Gryffindor but their parents would have done the same thing to Andromeda as her aunt and uncle did to their cousin Sirius. Andromeda's husband, Ted Tonks, was sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. Narcissa finally stops her thinking of the past and walks out of Draco's room and goes down to the fountain that Andromeda is sitting next to.
