Chapter 21

Dear Diary,

I hate my family! There is just too many of us in one family and I am always the one that feels left out! It's just not fair. And in case your wondering my mother thought that it is a good idea for me to write in you instead of keeping it bottled up inside me. So I am once taking what she said to do to heart.

So your probably wondering what there really is to be complaining about right? Well here it goes. I am the first born child of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Malfoy nee Granger. Thats right I am their child. Which is fine and all. They are actually great parents and I love them very much. It's just that I have 4 more siblings under me. Scorpius, Kathleen, Jeremy and Maria. I guess I love them. Well what do you expect of a 10 year old? For me to love them with every fiber of my being? Pssht!

Not Likely!

But anyways that isn't really the other thing about it. I have two other cousins David and Aurora (She is my best friend). Who are Blaise Zabini's and Luna Zabini's nee Lovegood children. They are a little weird but I guess I love them anyways.

Now diary I know what you are thinking. Why is this family such a bother to you? It's not even that big? WRONG!

Mum has told me that Uncle Harry's and Uncle Ron's children are our "Honorary" cousins. And they have 3 each! That's six more. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny's children; James (He is my bestest friend), Severus and Althea. Then there are Uncle Ron's and Aunt Lav's children Violet, Olivia and Liam (He is also my best friend).

So when you put that altogether that is a BIG family.

But I guess my problems aren't with them. My real problem is with the ever hateful person at my magical elementary. His father and my dad are friends, but that doesn't make him mine! No way in HELL is he EVER going to be my friend. Just the sound of my name brings a wave of disgust through my body. Phoebus Nott.

He is the one that brought everything into the light and for that I hate him!

But I got to go. The family is coming over for dinner. I guess all in all diary, I love them very much.

Thank you

Gillian Mavis Malfoy

p.s. please don't tell anyone that I said that!

Gillian closed the diary and left it on her desk. She then bounded out of the room and stopped to stare at the little girl swinging on her swing. She smiled when the girl in the picture smiled back.

"Gillian!" Hermione said winded. "Everyone's here and your nowhere to be found!"

"Sorry Mum." Gillian said as she looked at her mum.

"What were you doing?"

"I was just taking your advice, Mum. Honest!"

Hermione frowned and then gave a smile. "Well just get downstairs. Everyone wants to see you...Birthday girl!"

Gillian hugged her mother and then bounded off down the hall. She stopped and turned back to look at her mother.

"I love you Mum!"

Hermione felt her eyes tear up. She could never get used to her little ones saying that they love her. She especially couldn't get over the fact of Gillian saying it even more. This was her baby saying it. Which meant even more.

"I love you too baby."

And with that Gillian continued her run down the hall and down the stairs. She ran out the door to the backyard and smiled as she looked at all the familiar faces around her. It was then that she thought one simple thing.

Maybe it isn't that bad at all!
