Denya peered into the quidditch shop smiling as she looked through the window dreaming. I could do it she told herself imagining herself

flying on a broom chasing the snitch. "Denya!!" the call banished her day dreams as quickly as they had

come. It was stupid she knew, but the thing she wanted most was to be a Quidditch player.. seeker to be specific. But it would never happen..

money wasn't a problem she could have bought the new broom from one month's allowance only, and she could fly as well as anyone

the only thing in her way was her older brother. "Denya! We've been looking all over for you!"

She whirled around and saw her brother closely followed by her mother.

"Why the Quidditch shop?" Draco asked watching her closely. Denya said nothing

"So you want to play Quidditch" he said slowly "Yes" she said shortly

Draco watched her for a moment thinking finaly he spoke "forget it" he told her flatly "You are not going to be on the team!"

"Why not?" Denya asked defiantly "I can fly at least as well as you, if not better. You've had your turn as seeker for five years

while I've set quietly in the background. I may be your baby sister but if you get in my way you will regret it"

She didn't regret saying it, it was time for someone to stand up to Draco and knock some sense into his bloated head

but now he'd be watching her; he'd always been popular in Slytherin mostly through quidditch, his wealth and stupid wisecracks about Potter

and he'd couldn't risk a rival. Little sister or not he'd do anything he could to block her.

"Quidditch is not an apropriate activity for girls, Denya" Draco told her angrily

But suprised at his younger sister standing up to him for once he had no idea what to say, he'd lost ground and they both knew it.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Their mother asked exastperated

Knowing she was unlikely to win if her parents got involved Denya quickly said "nothing"

"how could little Den and I ever fight about anything?" Draco said deliberatly using the pet name she hated

Narcissus smiled at both of them "let's go find your father then" she said steering them away from the shop

Denya quickly broke free as they walked nearer to Knockturn Alley, that place gives me the creeps she thought with a shudder.

"I'll meet you at the Leaky Cauldron in two hours" She called quickly over her shoulder doging out of sight before they could object

Glad to finaly be free of them she wandered happily noticing only at last minute that she was headed to the Quidditch shop.

She peered into the front window looking at all the brooms then she made her choice.

She walked boldly into the shop, sick of obeying her family and standing for things she didn't believe in, tired of being pulled back so Draco could have the spotlight

unconsciously Denya Malfoy took control of her future.
