Disclaimer:  Unfortunately, the last time I checked I was not J.K. Rowling therefore I do not own Harry Potter. I own nothing besides the main character and a few other random characters. Even though I do own a few random characters it does not mean that I am getting any money whatsoever from writing this little story. I am writing this to give myself something to do and challenge myself, considering school is far too easy and does not stimulate my mind as much as having complete power over what I write.

Rated:  R – For harsh language, mental and physical child-abuse, references to rape, and violence.

Enchanting Darkness

Prologue:  Number 3, Malvado Lane

To outsiders, Malvado Lane looked like a perfectly ordinary street occupied with large, luxurious mansions. The giant lawns were always cut flawlessly, the cars in the driveways were tremendously expensive and always spotless, and the owners of the mansions were your usual wealthy Muggles. Little did these rich Muggles know, Number 3, Malvado Lane, was not as ordinary as they had always thought it was. They had never met the occupants of number 3, however, they expected them to be perfectly normal. Oh, how utterly wrong these rich little Muggles were. The occupants of Number 3 Malvado Lane were anything but ordinary.

The occupants of Number 3, Malvado Lane, were the Malfoy family; a not-so-ordinary Wizarding family. Other wizards and witches would think it tremendously peculiar that the Malfoy family's mansion was located in a Muggle city but Lucius wanted it there for certain reasons, mainly so it would be difficult to find. Mr. Malfoy was proud to say he was a pureblood wizard. He worked for the Ministry of Magic, however, he was secretly a follower of the darkest wizard of their time, Lord Voldemort. Lucius was Lord Voldemort's most loyal follower; he had never gone astray in his fellowship to the Dark Lord. Mrs. Malfoy stayed at home; she was only social when it was required. She hosted parties with the other wives of Death Eaters, the followers of the Dark Lord, and she, of course, raised their children.

No one knew much on the subject of the Malfoy children. Lucius Malfoy made sure he kept his only daughter a secret; she never left the house and no one, besides her closest family, knew she even existed. It was not proper, in Lucius' eyes, to have a daughter; sons were much more appropriate in his line of business. Kaida Amelie Malfoy had never left the security of her home. She rarely saw her brother and never saw her father. Her mother, Narcissa, and house-elf, Teeny, were her only friends. She did not mind much but she missed her brother dearly. When they were younger, they were nearly inseparable; they had to be forced apart. That all ended once he left for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when they were torn apart forever.

Kaida's older brother, Draco Lucius Malfoy, unfortunately was gradually becoming the spitting image of Lucius Malfoy. He was becoming even more interested in the Dark Arts; Lucius had began teaching them to Draco when he was only five years old. He had a severe hatred of anyone who was not of a respectable pureblood family. He believed in everything his father had told him since he was only five years old. He looked up to Lucius as his mentor. Alas, Narcissa Malfoy didn't have much of a say against her husband or Draco just might not have become as wicked as Lucius. Draco was on his way to becoming the next Dark Lord.

Unlike Draco, Kaida was fascinated with Muggles. Without the knowledge or consent of her parents, she would watch their Muggle neighbors by sitting on her windowsill and looking out her bedroom window. She would pretend she was one of their children; the daughter of a pleasant Muggle family, a family that would accept her for her instead of locking her away in a bedroom. With the passing of every day, Kaida became increasingly depressed. She wanted out; she needed out. She just was not sure how she was going to get out. However, she knew she needed to stay for the safety and sanity of her only brother.

Author's Notes:  There's the prologue. This story should be interesting… a little different than what I usually write, but it shouldn't be that bad. Please review!
