"Ofcourse dear we wouldn't dare send you back to those dreadful muggles" Narcissa said kindly before adding on we are family after all your great grandmother Dorea potter nee black was my great aunt she added. Holly blinked "I have more family" she said stunned "Yes Holly most purebloods and half bloods are related" lucius said before walking towards theodor snagging severus's wrist as he went "come on severus let these ladies prepare for supper and mean while you can floo Blaze and Thodore home while I go to the ministry and make an appointment with fudge and wizarding social services together for tomorrow to start the process of keeping young Holly safe." he commented as they walked out the door and shut it.


Narcissa smiled at Holly who was looking at her confused "mrs. malfoy what is a muggle" she asked noticing the term used a few times since she woke up. "Well Holly a muggle is a non-magical person." Narcissa explained. Holly nodded "Okay" and looked towards her bandaged hands before she noticed her close was gone and she was in a white hospital gown. "where's my clothes?" she asked Narcissa. who swiftly answered "we had to remove them to treat your wounds dear but dont worry I have something for you to wear that was mine when I was your age and she walked over to a trunk and pulled out a small navy blue dree and sparkly navy blue shoes that would have to be resized in order to fit the girl whose eyes lit up at the sight of the beautiful clothing. "I.I get to wear this" she asked in awe. Narcissa nodded "ofcourse dear now let's get you dressed I'll help you since the potions could make you stiff."she stated helping Holly out of the gown. "Potions?" Holly asked tilting her head excited about the forbidden fruit which made Narcissa smile. "Yes potions dear you'll learn all about it at Hogwarts and in your lessons with my son Draco Narcissa said slipping the dress over Holly's head and holly froze in place concerning Narcissa Y.you have a son Holly asked frightened is he nice she added carefully as not to her in trouble .Yes he is very nice dear no need to worry Narcissa said soothing the young girl "he was very worried when you showed up hurt like that dear. now how do you want your hair done? she asked and added as she tied the bow on Holly's lower back. my hair Holly asked confused "Yes dear your hair" Narcissa said Holly shrugged "we can just comb it my hair doesnt like to do much." she explained when Narcissa frowned as holly thought about how her aunt petunia would pull and tug at her hair to try and tame it. "well dear there is products that can help with that Narcissa said looking at Holly's messy locks then she smiled at the young girl.how about a nice braid down the center through the back of your head with gentle curls framing your face." She asked Holly who thought about it before nodding "yes Mrs.Malfoy if its no trouble." "oh it is no trouble at all sweetie I love my Draco dearly but I have always wanted a little girl to do this with" Narcissa said giddy with excitement as she lead the the way into the ensuite bathroom for a brush hair products and hair ties. after Narcissa started her hair Holly asked "what's Hogwarts?" "Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry dear is a special school for young witches and wizards that are from the ages 11 to 17" Narcissa answered before adding as she brushed Hollys hair and quickly braiding it and tying it off "its been around for centuries there all done." holding up a mirror for Holly to see herself. Holly felt her now smooth hair and her eyes teared up thanks Mrs. Malfoy she sniffled before wiping her eyes. "Your welcome dear now let's go to supper." she said leading the way down the hall to a small family dining room were lord malfoy his son and severus were waiting for them while chatting.


"ah it looks as though the ladies have finally joined us." Lucius said as he stood up and kissed his wife's cheek before pulling her chair out Draco doing similar to Holly's chair "Hi im Draco you have already met my parents and uncle severus. " he greeted Kissing her hand making the young girl blush and stutter out. "I..I'm Holly" looking at the chair nervously she glanced at Narcissa who sat down and nodded at the girl who followed suit draco pushing her chair In and sat down across from her. Lucius nodded at his son and clapped his hands and with a pop a small creature appeared and snapped its finger making supper appear poping out of there making Holly jump. supper included an Englush roast Yorkshire pudding mashed potatoes gravy rolls and peas. looking at Narcissa "what was that thing" she asked that was out house elf tilly she replied as everyone But Holly began to eat worrying g the adults and draco. "Holly dear wht aren't you eating?" Narcissa asked "Freaks aren't supposed to eat at the table with people." she replied monotonously her voice tinged with fear. "One young lady your are no freak" Narcissa started and lucius finished "Two you can eat when ever you want and what ever you want here within reason" "Please eat with us Holly" Draco added his two cents. Holly looked at Draco and blushed when she seen his pleading grey eyes and she began to eat slowly it took about twenty minutes before a quarter of the plate was gone and she was full. Holly began to push the food around on her plate which worried the adults who watched her closely the entire meal. "So Holly would you like to play wizards chess with me" Draco asked In a hopeful tone. Holly looked up and blushed I.. I do..dont know how." she mumbled embarrassed making Draco frown before he perked up it's ok Holly I'll teach you I'm sure you'll like it.


when the small group finished and the food and plates were cleared they retired to the den and Draco showed Holly the basics of wizard chess before the two began to play. Holly was amazed at the peices moved on there own and gave her advice as she played, until she noticed how dark it was and her magic became distressed as she started to panic that she'd be punished when she'd get home. all because she didn't cook dinner and do her nightly chores. Holly felt a vile pressed against her lips . "drink little one " severus soothed the child as he tipped the foul tasting Potion down her throat. Holly winced at the taste but began to calm down instantly. "Holly dear where on earth did such distressed magic come from" Narcissa asked rubbing the young girls back. "The muggles are going to be mad I wasn't there to cook dinner and do my nightly chores" Holly whimpered before adding "I'm going to be in so much trouble they'll lock me in my cupboard with out meals again." and she slapped her hand out her mouth knowing she had said to much when lucius shot to his feet and asked "what do you mean by your cupboard?" fearing the answer. When Holly didnt answer him he asked severus to use legilimecy on her and when she asked what that was severus explained that "it was like reading her mind and that it wouldn't hurt her." before he asked "is it ok if I view your memories little one?"


Holly froze "it wont hurt" she asked him scared. "no Holly it won't I sware on your mother Lily." severus swore and holly thought about it "okay what do I need to do" she asked a little worried "just look into my eyes and think of your earliest memories of the muggles. then I'll do the rest. " Severus instructed pointing his wand at her and mumbled the incantation as Narcissa sent Draco to bed for the night


the first memory severus seen was a large fat man telling and spitting at a you two tear old Holly before he shoved her into a boot cupboard and slammed the door in her face and closing the vent shuting the girl in darkness. he viewed a few memories of fat pudgy boy chasing after the girl hitting her hard when ever he caught her much to the encouragement of his parents a few beatings to the girl from the fat man and even the mother whom he recognized as lily's sister burning Holly's hand on the stove top for burning her precious Dudley's breakfast. at that point severus stopped and nearly threw up. summoning a two potions a calming dought and nausea potion and swallowed them quickly shuttering "it's worse then we could imagine lucius we need to get started on making sure she is safe now not tomorrow." severus exclaimed as Narcissa soothed the now crying Holly. "they make my father look like a saint" he added lucius looked at his now even paler friend and nodded "I'll contact the minister of magic now and get him here you pull the memories from Holly" and sevorsue pulled the memories from Holly and placed them in an empty pensive as lucius grabbed a bit of floo powder and threw it into the fireplace turning the flames green as he called out Cornelius fudges name. Holly looked up a Narcissa "am I in alot of trouble" she asked worried about being sent back. "no dear your not now those muggles on the other hand will be, what they did to you is called child abuse and it's a punishable offence here in the wizarding world and in the muggle world" She explained to the young girl as mans voice came out of the fireplace.


"Lucius dear man how are you hows Narcissa and Draco doing I'm terrible sorry I couldn't see you today at the ministry is everything alright?" Cornelius asked no Cornelius it's not u afraid this isnta social call what in needed to talk to you about has become urgent and can't wait till tomorrow" Lucius stated gravely. "that bad" Cornelius asked worried only to receive a Sullen nod "yes Cornelius if you could come over and bring an Aurora and member of wizard social services asap it would be appreciated." Lucius said with a tinge of urgency ofcourse Lucius well be over in ten minutes Cornelius said 1uickly cutting off the floo connection.
