The Malfoy Who Turned Good & The Opposite World.
Chapter Two: Grown up.
Seven years had passed, Draco and Charlotte were now eleven years old. Draco still had light blonde hair and grey eyes but Charlotte now had light brown hair but still had hazel eyes. Charlotte was also an inch shorter than Draco. For the past seven years Charlotte had been taking mini duelling lessons for ages between four and eleven with Rachel. Charlotte was a mortal enemy with Rachel. Rachel didn't like Charlotte but Charlotte HATED Rachel. That was because Rachel had injured Charlotte a million times in duelling. Charlotte had sworn that one-day Rachel would pay! Draco had been taking loads of flying lessons and bragged about how good he was at playing Quidditch (the most popular wizard's sport) and how he was going to make the team at Hogwarts. Lucy the nanny got the sack when the twins were seven, because she could not control Charlotte's messing around. Charlie the cat was now seven years old and was very fat indeed, that was because Charlotte spoilt him rotten. Charlie always wore a blue collar and on it there was a picture of himself. Charlotte thought it looked cute on him, Charlie was also a very proud cat. Charlotte was still going out with Lewis, she wished she wasn't because she did not fancy him anymore, but Lewis still fancied her and Lucius and Thomas won't let them break up. Lewis now goes to Hogwarts, he was in Slytherin and would be going into his second year when Draco and Charlotte join on the 1st September.
It
was now late August and Draco and Charlotte needed to go to Diagon
Alley to get school supplies.
"Father can Charlotte and I go to
Diagon Alley by ourselves?" Draco asked.
"I don't know, can I trust you?" Lucius asked.
"Yes
father of course you can. We are nearly adults, only eight mores
years until we are and we are very mature for our age! Also you are
the best father!" Charlotte said innocently.
"Ok then, don't
you dare talk to anyone you are not supposed to." Lucius gave them
both some magical money and they went to get the cloaks.
"I like the way you said we are nearly adults and we are mature for our age! Then said he is the best father!" Draco said.
"Thanks I know how to charm, I should give you lessons Draco!" Charlotte replied and Draco laughed.
"Have you got your school list?" Narcissa asked.
"Yes mother it is in my pocket!" Charlotte replied.
"Right you are going by Floo Powder and be back here by five o'clock, if you are late either myself or your mother will come and find you and we won't be happy!" Lucius warned. Draco and Charlotte stepped in the fireplace in the living Room. Draco pulled out some Floo Powder and shouted, "DIAGON ALLEY!" They both vanished with a puff of green smoke and felt a pulling feeling, it felt like they were being sucked down a giant plug hole.
They
landed in a fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron the magical pub.
"Hello
Draco and Charlotte how are you?" A girl with brown hair and face
like a pug came running towards them.
"Hi Pansy how are you?" Charlotte asked.
"Fine
you? You'll never believe what I just saw, this girl with really
bushy hair and massive teeth, she was so ugly! She must be a Mudblood
or she would have sorted herself out!" Pansy and Draco laughed.
"Filthy, shouldn't be allowed in our world, isn't that
right Char?" Draco asked.
"What? Yeah shouldn't be allowed." Charlotte said blankly. Two big fat boys came walking up to them. They were Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, Draco's cronies. "I know what, me and Pansy can go by ourselves and you three boys can go together!" Charlotte said and they all agreed. Charlotte pulled out her list and looked at the top:
1)
Three sets of plain black robes.
2) One plain
black pointed hat.
3) One pair of protective gloves.
4) One
black winter cloak.
"We'd better go to Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions!" Charlotte said and they made they way to the shop. They walked in and saw a squat, smiling witch dressed in mauve. "Hello little dears, don't tell me! You are here to get your robes for Hogwarts!" Madam Malkin said in a jolly tone. The two girls nodded and Madam Malkin chuckled. "Right then which witch is going to go first?" Charlotte looked at Pansy and whispered. "You go first!" Pansy stepped on a stall and Madam Malkin put a long robe over her and started to pin it to the right length. Charlotte looked at of the window and noticed a boy with glasses and black hair. "Harry Potter!" she whispered to herself and she could just remember when she met him when she was four. He was with a man who also had black hair and glasses. Charlotte thought to herself that it must be James Potter, Harry's Dad. "Dear it's your turn!" Malkin said after she had finished with Pansy.
After they paid for their uniforms Charlotte and Pansy went into Florish and Blotts, the bookshop to get the books they needed. As Charlotte was finding the books, she bumped into a girl with brown bushy hair and big teeth. "Oh sorry didn't see you there, what's your name?" Charlotte asked. "I'm Hermione Granger, you?"
"I'm Charlotte Malfoy, are you starting Hogwarts? I'm starting, I can't wait!" Charlotte replied.
"Yes I can't wait either! What house do you want to be in? I don't want to be put into Slytherin, they are horrible people!" Hermione said.
"Well
all my family have been in Slytherin. So I suppose I'll be in
Slytherin." Charlotte said sadly. "I'm sorry Hermione I have to
go, lots to get, see you tomorrow!" Charlotte said and joined
Pansy.
"That's the Mudblood girl I told you about earlier!"
Pansy snarled.
"Really? Come on we better find these books!"
Charlotte replied. They spent the next 20 minutes trying to find the
books they needed and bought them.
They
then went into 'Eeylops Owl Emporium'. Charlotte found a little
elf owl. The owl was excitable and looked cute so Charlotte got her.
She named the owl Chicken. Charlotte brought Chicken some special owl
treats. "We better go and get our wands!" Charlotte said, this
was what she had been looking forward to the most. Getting her own
wand. At the mini duelling club they had had to use old wands that
didn't really like Charlotte.
They walked into 'Ollivanders:
Makers Of Fine Wands'. The room was damp and dusty but when the old
man, Mr Ollivander entered, the room lit up. They was also an old man
asleep in a chair in one of the corners.
"Good afternoon girls!
Getting your first wand! You have come to the best place!"
Ollivander greeted. He got a few boxes and opened it and inside were
wands. He got one of the wands out and gave it to Charlotte.
Charlotte gave the wand a wave and all of a sudden a wind came out of
the wand and blew the old man in the corner's wig off. "Oh dear
never mind, lets try another one!" Ollivander said. Charlotte tried
lots of wands but the one that was the best was a ten-inch wand, made
of willow with a unicorn hair. She was very pleased because the wand
was extremely good for Charms. Just as they were leaving a familiar
man came walking in with a girl the same age as Charlotte. It was
Sirius and Amy Black. Amy now had black hair with pink streaks in it.
Charlotte was interested in the wand Amy was going to get, so on
purpose she dropped Chicken's owl treats, which made Chicken go
into her crazy mode and started to bomb everything. Amy got an
eleven-inch wand that was made out of ebony and had a unicorn hair at
the centre.
Ollivander was engrossed with Chicken's behaviour, but when he saw Amy's wand he ignored her.
"Interesting. Miss Malfoy and Miss Black's wands both have the same unicorn's hair."
"Fascinating."
Sirius replied sarcastically. Sirius turned to leave but Ollivander
screamed shrilly as Chicken bombed
him.
"GET-THIS-CRAZY-ANIMAL-OFF-ME!" Ollivander screamed
and Pansy was laughing her head off, while Charlotte was trying to
control her giggles. Sirius managed to get Chicken off of Ollivander
and gave her back to Charlotte. "Thanks Sirius!" Charlotte said
before she left with Pansy, leaving Sirius surprised she even replied
let alone said thanks.
They got back to the Leaky Cauldron and met Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. "Get everything?" Charlotte asked Draco.
"Yeah, we better go home, it's nearly five and you heard what father said." Draco replied and they both got into the fireplace. Charlotte grabbed some floo powder and shouted. "THE MALFOY MANOR!" They vanished with a puff of green smoke and fell into the living room at the Manor. "Just on time. Did you get everything?" Narcissa asked.
"Yes mother, Chicken my new elf owl bombed Ollivander!" Charlotte didn't tell her Mother about Sirius.
"I
don't really like Ollivander he is too crazy and too old now!"
Narcissa replied.
"I got an eagle and I have called it
Slytherin!" Draco blurted out and showed everyone his eagle.
"What an nice name to call your eagle! Now go and pack your trunks ready for tomorrow I'll get Dobby to check them later." Narcissa ordered and they made their way upstairs.
"Why have you called your owl Chicken?" Draco asked.
"I think it's a cool name why?"
"It doesn't even look like a chicken!"
"It's not an it! It's a she! I know very well that she doesn't look like a chicken, but I like the name!" Charlotte snapped and went into her bedroom.
"DINNER!" Lucius shouted at seven o'clock, Charlotte and Draco joined Lucius and Narcissa in the dining room. "Did you know that this is going to be the last time we are going to be together for a year!" Charlotte announced.
"Yes you are right, now that reminds me there will be a family meeting tomorrow morning!" Lucius said and Charlotte rolled her eyes.
She did not like the 'family meetings' because for one they were always boring and secondly there was no need for them!
At half past eight Charlotte had a bath and went up to her room. She was lying on her bed reading her book. 'The Guide to Duelling!' At ten o'clock her mother came in. "Go to bed, it's getting late and we all have to get up early in the morning so goodnight." Narcissa said flatly. "Goodnight mother!" Charlotte replied and got into her bed and Narcissa went out and Charlotte put her candles out and went to sleep.
