Chapter One:
Darkness greeted the shadow and baby as they appeared in the entrance of a large house, her cries echoed throughout the room. With a click of it's fingers the lights burst into life, a dark cape fell to the floor revealing a man. His dark hair contained one or two grey hairs, his face was unshaved while his pale grey eyes narrowed. The baby calmed just a little as the man looked down at her a smile forming on his tired pale face.
"Calm down my sweet." He said softly rocking her. The baby's big stormy blue eyes watched him with interest.
"Your just as beautiful as your mother, I think Juliet would be a perfect name for you." She managed a smile grabbing his pinkie.
"Yes, Juliet is perfect." He whispered making his way up the stairs, clicking his fingers plunging the room into darkness again.
One summer morning Juliet was awoken by the sound of horses. She rubbed her eyes slowly getting out of bed walking over to the window which looked out over the front yard of the house she lived in. Outside the front steps was a black carriage with a driver and two horses, a man in a dark cape walked out climbing into the carriage and rode off. The bedroom door opened and her nanny Emma walked in.
"Juliet, what are you doing up at this hour?" Emma asked with a frown.
"Father's gone." She whispered touching the window. Emma felt her heart slightly break at the sight of Juliet who had just turned five, hope for her father's return.
"Yes her has. Mr Malfoy is coming today, you will be living with him and his family from now on." Emma replied holding back her tears that were forming. Juliet looked at Emma.
"Why doesn't he want me anymore?" Juliet asked as Emma rushed over pulling her into a tight hug, burying her tears in Juliet's hair.
That same afternoon Mr Lucius Malfoy a close friend of Juliet's father arrived at the house. His long blond hair was pulled into a ponytail while his black hat manage to hide quite a bit of his face. Juliet stood at the top of the stairs in her best dress, a pale blue colour which managed her eyes. Her caramel coloured hair was pulled into a neat bun. Emma appeared at lucius side, Juliet smiled , her smile alone managed to light up the whole room.
"She's beautiful." He murmured as she gracefully walked down the stairs then politely bowed to him. Lucius removed his hat slowly getting down on one knee to reach her level.
"Good afternoon Juliet."
"Afternoon Mr Malfoy." She replied.
"Shall we go then?" He asked as she glanced at Emma who nodded.
"Yes." Juliet replied in almost a whisper. Lucius held out his hand as Juliet took it letting him lead her out to his carriage. Juliet sat beside the window watching Emma who waved smiling brightly. Juliet waved until Emma was only a small dot. She turned to see Lucius reading a book, she tried to read the title but she couldn't understand the words. She sat back watching the countryside past wondering where her father was.
A couple of weeks later Juliet was walking through the Malfoy mansion exploring when she heard Lucius voice coming from the library. Juliet quietly walked over leaning against the wall beside the half opened door.
"Lucius darling, she must be told." Came Lucius wife's voice, she sounded half upset, half angry.
"Narcissa, how is a five year old meant to understand the fact her father is the most powerful wizard of all time." Lucius replied as there was a loud thump, Juliet guessed he had hit something.
"Well if the rumours about the Potters is true, he could be dead, she deserves to know that." Narcissa cried desperately.
"That girl has had enough heart break in her life she doesn't need anymore, she's happier not knowing." Lucius replied, Juliet closed her eyes before running off up to her room.
