Title: Hopeless

Chapter 1: Gwen

"Gwendolyn!! Gwendolyn Arianna Brookes!!" were the words that were shouted by a blondhaired woman named Narcissa Malfoy as looked around worriedly. She was dressed in a dark green cloak and an even darker green robes.

"Don't worry Mrs. Malfoy.." a soft voice said "I'm right here." A tall, 14 year old ,light brown haired girl stepped out behind Narcissa. Her eyes were red and bloodshot as though she had been crying for quite a while, which she had. She, too, was also wearing the same unusual assortment of clothes. With the small difference that hers were shades of silky white.

Narcissa's eyes grew wide in suprise. She then said kindly " Gwen, dear, you and I have known each other forever. Just call me Narcissa. Come now, we need to hurry if we're to prepare for you're transferring to Hogwarts."

"Alright....Narcissa. And thank you again for taking me in." Gwen answered in the same quiet and cautious voice. She then stepped out and walked with Narcissa into the green flames that were emitting from the fire. They both gathered their iteams and yelled " Malfoy Manor " and dissappeared into the flames.

Now it would have been quite a sight for any normal passerby but it was not unusual for either of the prevous two we have mentioned, for they were magic, and witches at that.
