Magic never saves.. Godmother's family

"Are you ready?" Ashley nodded. Although she wasn't really ready to leave, she agreed to go anyway. If she didn't a bunch of them would be mad. And she hated it when her elders were mad. "Alright then, you know what to do right?" She nodded again. It wasn't like she never traveled by floopowder before. Remus threw the powder into the fireplace and the fire danced, turning from a raging red to peaceful green."Right then. In you go.." She stepped into the fireplace clutching her bag tightly. Ashley took one look around the small cottage home she lived in and then looked at her Godfather. She waved. He smiled back.

"Malfoy Manor!" She shouted clearly as she tightly shut her eyes. A few seconds later, she peaked them open and saw the face of a blonde woman.

"Ashley, darling. So good to see you."

"Hello Auntie." Although she was not really related to the Malfoys, she still called Narcissa Malfoy her 'aunt', Lucius Malfoy her 'uncle' and their son Draco...well she called him a big idiot. Narcissa was her mothers 'best friend' back at Hogwarts. After all they were both in Slytherin. So naturally her mother would chose Narcissa to be Godmother of her child no matter who (and how many) protested it. Narcissa helped the child out of the fireplace and gave her a hug.

"My haven't you grown since I last saw you." If Ashley could remember the last time she saw her she would respond. Instead she stayed silent. Ashley had only met the Malfoy family once. And for some reason she felt as if she shouldn't trust them. Ashley silently followed Narcissa into a huge living room. 'Wow, this place is bigger then Uncle Remus's house! It's so pretty too!' She thought as she stared at the room in awe.

"You've got a nice house auntie!" Narcissa smiled at the girl as she patted her arm.

"Of course I do dear. What did you expect?" Ashley shrugged. She had never seen such a big place, it was almost like a palace in the girl's eyes.

"I dunno...Uncle Remus has a small home.."

"Hmph. I should expect so...that Uncle Remus of yours isn't the wealthiest fool in this world. He's even got you dressed in muggle clothing." Narcissa said with a look of great distaste and resentment. Obviously the Malfoys didn't get along well with Ashley's caretakers. But there wasn't anything that anybody could do about it.

"MOMMY!" A young boys shrill cry rang through the room. Ashley immediately took cover behind Narcissa as a blonde, blue-eyed 5 year old approached them. "Who's that?" He asked with dislike. He glared at you as you peaked from behind his mother.

"Draco this is Ashley. You remember her don't you?"

"You mean the same Ashley that is related to that awful, horrible Black who takes credit where it's not due and is a muggle-loving fool that is on that old man's side?" He replied as if quoting a book. Narcissa looked at him with anger. Obviously he had repeated what someone had said before and he OBVIOUSLY wasn't suppose to say...in front of the girl.

"Draco. I never want to hear you say that again. Now apologize." Narcissa said harshly.

"But mum!" "DRACO!" "FINE! SORRY!" He looked directly at you and swiftly turned around. 'I don't get it.' Ashley thought as she stared at the back of his head. 'I didn't even hear what he said! Why did he say sorry? I don't like this boy! He's mean and rude! I WANNA GO BACK HOME!' She silently fumed in her head. This would possibly be the worst summer ever.

"Ashley..." You looked up at Narcissa and saw she was looking at her husband with a tight smile on her face.

"Hullo Uncle Lucius." Ashley said bluntly. The man gave her a cold stare and replied with a tone that matched his stare.

"Hello Ashley. How are you?" He sounded as if he didn't want to know. He probably didn't.

"Fine uncle." She replied as she started at the ground.

"Come Ashley...let's go to your room." Ashley nodded and followed Narcissa. 'Summer is going to be long' The young child thought as she sighed and clutched Narcissa's robe.
