It was a quiet afternoon in a small suburb of London, England. The sun was
shining, the birds were singing and outside a large house with white siding
inside a large neighborhood, the laugher of a small child rang through the
air. It seemed to be a perfectly respectable neighborhood, filled with
lawyers and businessmen, and nothing odd ever happened there.
The white house was also very normal. It had a weathervane on the roof, a TV antenna on the side, and a telephone wire sticking out and running to a nearby pole. The yard was neat, as was the small flowerbed that ran under the window and the perfect condition of the house and it's black shutters. There were two cars in the driveway and no signs that this house held anything unusual. But inside resided a family, very different from you and me.
This house belonged to the Malfoy family, which consisted of four people, Brent; the Father; Ruby; Brent's Mother; Gavin; Brent's son; and Alexia; Brent's daughter. To their neighbors they were very normal and pleasant people, but truth way that they were not normal.by any means.
For you see Brent, Ruby and Gavin all had gifts that normal people did not. They were magical folks, witches and wizards. Ruby, who was a short, elderly witch with long gray hair that held a tint of red and she had crystal blue eyes. She was a muggle born, and sadly, when her Mother and Father found out she was a witch, they abandoned her. Ruby grew up with her real parents, Lisa and Drake Denal in Wales, until the age of ten, when her gifts were realized. She was then sent to live with her Mother's cousin, Melissa, who was a witch herself. Melissa nurtured Ruby's gifts, but Ruby was not happy. She wanted to be with her Mother, Father and two sisters, but they wanted nothing to do with her.
Ruby attended Hogwarts and was in the top of her class. The wizarding world fascinated her, and she wanted to learn all she could. She was never very good at flying, but loved to watch Quidditch with her friends. From what Melissa told Ruby, she came from a line of Hufflepuffs, and Ruby was no different. She was Head Girl and Prefect her last three years and had a great love for Hogwarts.
During her 6th year, she met a very kind Slytherin boy named Chaz Malfoy. Chaz was a 7th year, and the son of Draco Malfoy. He was tall and thin with pure blond hair and crystal blue eyes; the spitting image of his Father. Although Draco never approved, Chaz fell in love with Ruby. They continued to see each other after they graduated from Hogwarts and two years after graduation they got married.
After this Chaz lost touch with his Father, but kept in touch with his Mother, Pansy Parkinson, a shorter woman with blond hair and blue eyes, just like Draco. She had married Draco four years after they graduated from Hogwarts. Chaz was the eldest and had a brother, Draco Jr., who was about two years younger, and three sisters, Molly; who was four years younger, Gwen; three years younger; and Hanna; who was seven years younger. All the children looked exactly the same, tall and thin with blond hair and blue eyes. They all had very cold looks to their faces, but Chaz was different. True he was ambitious (that's why he was in Slytherin) but he didn't hate the Muggles of the world. It was quite the opposite, Chaz loved the Muggle world and those who dwelled in it. He often wished to himself that he could go to their world and see what it was like to be a Muggle.
Pansy would come alone to Chaz and Ruby's house once a month and send owls weekly. She would often beg Draco to come with her, but he refused.
"The second he married that Mudblood is the second he lost all connections to me," snapped Draco.
Pansy finally gave in, and decided to visit him alone, sometime accompanied by the other children, but very rarely, since Draco refused to let them go. After all, he didn't want his children being contaminated by Chaz.
After being married for about a two years, Ruby gave birth to her first child, a little girl that they named Melissa, after Ruby's Aunt, who had died a month before. As she grew old she became very small and pretty, with her bright blue eyes and pure blond hair and grew to be a very good little girl. A year later Brent was born. He was a very large child with dark red hair and crystal blue eyes. Three years after Brent, Gavin was born, but died in a horrible attack by some remaining supporters of Lord Voldemort when he was 19. He was very handsome and tall with long dark red hair that he held back in a ponytail and sparkling blue eyes.
When Gavin died, Brent had already married a muggle woman named Maureen Smith, who had green eyes and long brown hair, and she was pregnant with their first child. When Brent's brother died, Maureen agreed that they would name him Gavin, in honor of his late brother. Ruby herself even claimed that little Gavin looked exactly like Brent's brother, with his dark red hair and crystal blue eyes.
When little Gavin was born, life seemed to go terribly wrong. Ruby wanted Gavin to go to Hogwarts, like they had, and become a wizard, while Maureen refused to allow her son to go. But the arguments were put aside when Brent's Grandmother died. Pansy died of heart failure and her death brought Chaz slightly closer to his Father. The day after she died, Chaz gathered all his courage to see his Father.
Draco was very old, though he didn't look it. He was still as stubborn and mean as ever. Chaz didn't dare go alone; so he took Brent with him.
By this time Brent had reached his prime. He was about twenty-five years old, with short brown hair and crystal blue eyes. He was tall, well build and a very kind look to his face. He had graduated from Hogwarts as Hufflepuff Prefect and Head Boy. He had also led his Quidditch team to the House Cup all seven years.
It had been a stormy evening when Chaz and Brent arrived at the house. The house elves answered the door, and showed them inside the large manor. They went into the study, where Draco in front of the fire. Chaz told Brent to stay quiet by the door as he moved into the room. Chaz set his hand lightly on his Father's shoulder, but he snapped up at him.
"What do you want?" snapped Draco, moving away quickly so that Chaz touched him for only a moment.
Chaz jumped back slightly, and stumbled over the worlds.
"Erm.well.I just." he stammered, his face draining of color.
"Spit it out and leave!" hissed Draco, "Stupid boy."
"I just wanted to see how you were doing," Chaz blurted out.
Draco rose from his chair and looked at his son. He walked past and his gaze shifted to Brent, who stood near the door.
"Child doesn't even look like a Malfoy," muttered Draco, shaking his head, "Disgraceful."
Brent's face turned red with anger. He was tempted to say something, but the look on his Father's face made him stop.
"It's good to see you, Grandpa," said Brent, trying to sound happy.
Draco glared at him.
"I am not you Grandfather, boy," sneered Draco.
He spun around and glared at Chaz.
"Leave." he spat, pointing to the door.
Draco sat down in his chair, but Chaz refused to leave.
"Why have you always treated me like this?" he asked.
"Because you are a disgrace," muttered Draco, "You should know that. You have soiled the Malfoy name."
"I haven't done anything to our name," said Chaz, defending himself.
Draco chuckled slightly.
"Oh sure, marring a mudblood, having children with her, and having your children fight the remaining supporters of the Dark Lord," he spat, "Not a disgrace at all."
Chaz and his Father started to argue and before Brent knew it, they both had their wands out and ready to attack. But before Brent could stop them it was too late.
"iAvada Kedavrai!" shouted Draco.
Brent jumped out of the way but for his Father it was too late. Brent looked up and saw his Father, face down on the floor, dead. Sadness rushed through his body, then fear, and then he was suddenly overcome with such hatred that he didn't know what to do. He looked up and saw Draco standing above him, staring down at him.
"You better run, boy," he snarled.
But Brent didn't run. The anger that had been passed down on his Father's side was raging through him.
"No," said Brent firmly.
Draco's face twisted and he looked confused.
"What?" he asked curiously.
"I said no!" exclaimed Brent.
Draco laughed. It echoed through the room and suddenly he stopped and looked down at Brent again.
"I admire your courage," said Draco, "But it'll get you into trouble."
Draco held his wand up to Brent's face. Brent sat there, helpless and scared. He had to do something. Thinking very quickly he grabbed his own wand and shouted a spell.
"iExpelliarmusi!" he yelled.
Draco's wand came flying into his hand as Draco fell to the floor.
"You stay away from my family!" yelled Brent.
Brent returned home that night, the body of his Father in tow. His death came as such a shock, that Ruby became bed ridden for several days.
After that things became a little better. On Gavin's 10th Birthday, Brent and Maureen discovered that there was another child on the way. Maureen gave birth to a little girl, which they named Alexia. She was a beautiful child, with bright red hair and sparkling green eyes. Everything seemed as though it couldn't get any better.
But all was not well in the Malfoy household. Maureen and Brent were fighting more frequently, leaving Gavin to protect his little sister from the harshness of their words. When Alexia was just two years old her Mother moved out for the first time. After six months later she moved back, but the yelling and hatred started again, more harsh words, flying objects, and angry voices. It was the day before Alexia's 4th birthday when her Mother left for good.
Alexia remembered sitting around the table, presents spread in front of her, crying her eyes out because her Mother wasn't coming home for her birthday. Eventually Alexia's sadness turned to anger and she wanted nothing to do with her Mother.
The white house was also very normal. It had a weathervane on the roof, a TV antenna on the side, and a telephone wire sticking out and running to a nearby pole. The yard was neat, as was the small flowerbed that ran under the window and the perfect condition of the house and it's black shutters.
