Chapter One: Life in the Malfoy Manor
"Tara Wake Up. We have to be at Diagon Alley in 20 minutes," Yelled Narcissa Malfoy at her beloved Goddaughter. Tara had come to live at the Malfoy Manor eleven years ago, around the same time her parents died at the hands of Lord Voldemort, or at his wand. Tara's younger brother went to go live with the muggles, and Tara got to live with wizards. It was her 11th birthday and they were going to Diagon Alley to get her things for school, and a new owl. "Okay Auntie Cissy, I'm up," Tara said through the door.
Tara looked in the mirror and thought; I do not feel like blonde hair today. Since she was a metamorphous, she could change her appearance at will. She turned her hair long blonde hair, jaw length front bangs on the side and the back was short and spiked, the color, hot pink. She looked in her dresser and found a pair of paint splattered blue jeans and a pink shirt that said "Are you talking to me?" She found a long black robe with the Malfoy family crest on it and walked out the door.
"You are not going out of the house with hot pink hair change it immediately to blonde. And it better be at least shoulder length," Narcissa told Tara. "But Auntie Cissy, can I least make it strawberry blonde and keep the hair length how it is?" Tara asked. "You may make it Strawberry Blonde, but I want at least shoulder length hair and change your clothes, you are not wearing those jeans or that shirt." Narcissa said and then she pushed Tara back into her room and shut the door.
Tara changed her to strawberry blonde with beautiful spiral curls. She put on a pair of dark blue jeans, a black baby doll tee with lace on the top of the shirt and on the sleeves, a black robe that had the Malfoy family crest, and a pair of DC sneakers. She changed her hair again and made it waist length, and pulled it into a messy bun. All in all she would rate herself a ten. The hot pink hair would have to wait for Hogworts, she thought.
"That's better" Narcissa said. "Draco are you coming?" Oh I hope not, thought Tara. Draco was her little "cousin" was annoying. He had Bleach Blonde hair and was cute for an 8 year old, but other then that he was a brat. All he ever did was drive Tara in sane, and she hoped he wasn't coming. "No mum, I have to win this game against pansy, otherwise she'll never let me live it down." Draco told his mum. "Can we leave yet, I really want to go. The train leaves in two hours and I don't have anything yet." Tara said. "Yes we are leaving. I'll be back in about three hours be good you three, and listen to your father Draco." Narcissa said as she walked out the door.
In Flourish and Blotts Tara got all of her school books and a couple books for light reading, including "Hogworts, A History" and a book on curses and charms. She got an owl named Snowy, a Snowy Owl. She got all of her school supplies except her wand.
Narcissa and Tara went into Ollivanders and sat down to wait for Mr. Ollivanders to come out. "Miss. Potter, I thought I would be seeing you soon, and Mrs. Malfoy always a pleasure." Mr. Ollivanders said. "Hello, this his my goddaughter, she is her for her wand, and we are on a tight schedule we only have about an hour left to get her on the train." Narcissa told him. "I see, Step right here Miss. Potter, which one is your wand arm?" he asked. My right she said. "Here try this one, Oak with unicorn tail. Nope not that one." He said. It seemed to Tara this was taking forever, until he came out with a black wand. At the end of it there was the Hogworts crest on it. "Here we go, this was made with cherry wood and it was painted black, the core is most interesting however, phoenix feather and Basilisk venom." Ollivander said as he gave Tara the wand. There was a warm tingly feeling that from her fingertips that spread through her entire body. "This is it" Tara said. "This one." "I thought so, you see Miss Potter, only one other person in the world could this wand possibly belong to and that person is dead. It is clear that you are destined to do extraordinary things. Ten gallons Mrs. Malfoy" Ollivander said.
At the train station
"I'll see you at Christmas Tara!" Narcissa yelled at the moving train. As Tara sat down in the empty compartment, a girl looked in and asked, "Can I sit with you please, and everywhere else is full?" "Of course." Tara said her back to hot pink and the way it was earlier this morning. "I'm Tara, you?" "My name is Faye Lynn, but me family calls me Faye, you can too." The girl said. "Your name has Lynn at the end of too, so does mine." Tara said. The two girls had a lot in common; they lived with their godparents, had annoying younger "cousin" and could not wait to start school and their lessons. Then Tara told her she was metamorphous and Faye thought it was really cool. When they reached the school they sat in the same boat and stood right next to each other. They stood there talking while the hat sang its song then, "Tompkins, Faye Lynn." Announced a woman standing in the front of the hall. "Ravenclaw" said the hat. Finally after what seemed to take forever, "Potter, Tara Lynn" was called and every looked. Tara knew who her parents were and who her brother was and what had happened to him. She knew that in three years he would come to Hogworts to get his training and it would be the first time she saw him in twelve years, but still having all eyes on her was scary. She sat down and the hat went on her head and it started talking to her. "You're a descendant of the founders, you have so much potential, but where to put you?" the hat asked. And then the hat announced……..
