You're Whose Daughter? Book 1

Chapter 6 - Broom Flying, Wand Choosing

(Nadia's POV)

The next day was August 31st. A day before going on the train to Hogwarts.

'Wake up Nadia, you have a full day of packing' Father called from downstairs.

Today was one of the easier days to wake up. I felt...not too tired; tired but not that bad.

I jumped out of bed and went to my wardrobe. Since I don't own a wand yet, everything for me was done by the Muggle way.

Unlike Draco, who had his parents choose his clothes for him. I remembered I had a turntable in the back of my attic room.

My room was small,I'm not going to lie. But it's very cozy, I have never thought about getting very fancy.

Even though Mother and Father keep on insisting that I move into a bigger room, I've always declined kindly.

My room had a simple bed, a desk (with a small window on top) , my wardrobe,a bathroom ,a bookshelf and a piano.

Reading has been my favorite pastime since i was a little kid.

On one of the shelves, I have a turntable on it. I love to write,especially music.

The turntable was bought for me by Father. I assume Father also shares a keen interest in music.

Before Mother and Father go to bed they always kiss Draco and I goodnight. A few nights when they come into my room, I'm writing music.

Anyway,I put it on my favorite disk. Celestina Warbeck. I hummed on to the first song while I picked out my clothes.

I picked out black pants and paired with a dark green tunic.

Instead of real buttons on it, it had silver snakes on it. Not real of course, but still very striking.

'Nadia, we need to leave soon!' Mother called from downstairs.

I could hear someone coming up the stairs, as I got changed in the bathroom.

'Nadia, are you alright?' It was Draco. I came out a few minutes later.

I noticed that Draco was looking at everything.

'You know you don't come into my room often' I told him, his back was turned so he basically jumped out of his skin.

He turned around to see me. I was hopping around my room while trying to put on my black boots.

'Wow' He said under his breath.

'You know i can hear you,right?' I asked him.

He hesitated,before nodding a blush spreading around his face; his ears turned pink which I found adorable.

'C'mon then. Father and Mother must be waiting for us' I explained, leaving my room.

I slid down the stairs railing, and transformed into my Animagus.

'Nadia' Father said. I transformed back into my human form, brushing the fur off me.

'Father i'm sorry if i kept you both waiting. I promise it won't happen again' I explained, my head dipped.

'Accio hats' Father whispered. A hat settled on to my head.

I looked up to Father who smiled for the first time.

'Wait Father. Did you just...smile?' I asked him.

He hesitated, before blabbering. 'What? No!'.

I laughed before opening the door for them.

When Draco came, 'Ladies first' He said bowing like a house elf.

I tugged on his hair lightly. He stood up. 'Men just before'

He scowled at me before walking out;fixing his hair. I smiled before heading out as well.

'Well, aren't we late?' I asked Father and Mother.

'Put your hand out' Father said. I obeyed. Draco copied my movement,the same as Mother and Father.

A broom slid into my hand. 'Are we flying there?' I asked Mother.

She nodded. 'Now, put your legs on either side of the broom and kick off the ground to fly.' Mother explained.

She put both of her legs on either side of the broom and kicked off. Father also did the same.

' Well then it's just us. At 3?' I asked Draco.

He nodded. '1...2...3!' I said, we both kicked up and met our parents up in the sky.

'Lets go! We can't be late!' I said zooming north.

'No you don't Nadia!' Draco shouted before trying to catch up with me.

I got faster,staring only at the clouds in front of me. I turned to look behind me.

'Nadia look out!' Mother shouted. I looked back in front, I was centimeters away from The Big Ben.

I swerved, flying into a cloud. I came out coughing, and drenched. 'Oh Merlin! Nadia, I'm so sorry!' Draco said, gliding to the front.

'It's fine Draco! You had no idea this was going to happen' I explained. I sneezed.

'Oh, dear are you alright?' Narcissa said.

'Yeah.' I replied. We flew all the way to Diagon Alley.

'Alright,children. Your Father and I will land first. Follow along' Mother explained.

They both stopped moving their legs, and touched the back of the broom. The brooms started to descend, while Draco and I were still in the air.

I stopped moving my legs, and touched the back of the broom. It started to descend. I reached the cobblestone at Diagon Alley.

Draco came down after me. 'Well then, that wasn't so bad,' Draco said. I nodded, before following Mother and Father into diagon Alley.

I walked next to Father, who put his walking stick in his other hand. I took his hand,he squeezed it before letting go.

After we walked through, I heard whispers like 'Sirius Black' 'Child of Marlene Mckinnon' 'Child of a murderer' I could hear it all;so clearly as well.

I put it all to the back of my mind and walked into the closest store. Ollivanders, a wand company.

'I hope I get my wand' I thought. We walked through the store. 'Hello?' I called.

Something shuffled, my ears perked up.

'Ah, sorry.' A man popped out from behind the desk, presumingly Ollivanders. Draco basically jumped out of his skin.

'Hello, My name is Nadia Malfoy, this is my brother Draco Malfoy' I explained, while Mother and Father waited outside.

'Ah, Miss Malfoy, I've been waiting for you. You too Mr Malfoy'

He took out 2 wands. He passed them both to us.

He looked at me before explaining. 'This is Dragon Heartstring, Pin wood. With unyielding flexibility. 11 and a 1/2 inches. Give it a whiff' He explained.

I waved it around.

Boxes fell, nearly on Draco and Mr Ollivander. I dropped the wand, and charged for the falling boxes. I lifted up a dozen before they fell on the ground.

'Merlin! Thank you so much!' He exclaimed. 'Its fine, no need to thank me' I replied. 'Hmmm, I guess that wand doesn't suit you."

Tru this one, Hippogriff feather, Elm wood. 12 inches' He explained. I took it from his hand.

I waved it around again, a black dahlia bloomed out from it. 'I guess that wand suits you Miss Malfoy,' Mr Ollivander said with a smile.

I returned the smile, before getting father to pay for our wands. Draco got a 10 inch long, made of hawthorn wood with unicorn hair.

After wand shopping, we got robes, pets (We both got owls) then we headed home after book shopping as well.
