Draco sat on the roof of Malfoy manor overlooking the grounds and watching as his mother and father walked their pet wolf cubs.
They treated the cubs better than they treated him, but being the Malfoy he was, he couldn't complain or contradict his parents.
Sometimes he preferred to be alone...it was better than dealing with all the suitors his mother kept pushing on him or the several Deatheater meetings his father would drag him to.
Draco heard someone call his name and looked down to see a car had drawn up outside the manor.
Draco climbed down from the roof and slipped into his bedroom through the window.
He unlocked his door and walked out the room and down to the 'social lounge' as his mother would call it. Where she often had tea parties and meetings with fellow deatheaters wives and sometimes her sisters.
Draco saw his mother was talking to a woman while a girl of about his age sat reading a book.
She had pale skin like his, a curtain of long blonde hair and green eyes that twinkled generously behind her book.
"Ah there you are Draco. This is my friend Gaia and her daughter Charlotte. Me and Gaia are going to take a walk, will you entertain Charlotte while we're gone?" asked Narcissa.
Draco merely nodded as the two older women got up, he knew what they were playing at but couldn't refuse while they were here...he'd argue with his mother later, and left Draco alone with Charlotte.
"I don't need to be entertained, you can leave if you want." said Charlotte not looking up from her book.
"No that's Ok." smiled Draco wearily.
"Suit yourself." sighed charlotte turning a page.
