You're Whose Daughter? Book 1

Chapter 9 - The Day

(Nadia's POV)

'Wake up, Nadia! We're going to Hogwarts!' Draco basically shouted into my ear. I stirred but didn't wake up.

The early morning sun seeped through the curtains over my window. 'Please wake up, we just can't be late' Another voice said, it sounded a lot like Mothers.

I peeled my eyes open only to be met with 2 pale faces. I pulled myself out of bed. 'What time is it?' I asked tiredly, while rubbing my eyes.

'7am' Draco replied cheerfully. My eyes widened with shock.

'7am? Why in the name of Merlin did you wake me up now?!' I exclaimed.

'Because, today dear is Hogwarts day. Hurry up chop chop, we need to leave at 10 o'clock sharp.' Mother explained.

I shifted my eyes to her, who was by my wardrobe choosing clothes for the ride to Hogwarts.

I collected my thoughts.'Wait...is today... September 1st?' I asked, Draco nodded smiling. I jumped out of bed and took the clothes Mother left out for me, and ran to the bathroom.

She picked out the same dress as the day before with black stocking and the same boots. 5 minutes later, I kicked open the door, a serpent hair pin in my mouth.

'Done!' I tried saying but came out muffled. I tied my hair into a bun, and stuck the hairpin in it. I could hear Mother laughing under her breath, but decided not to point it out.

Instead I went over to my new owl, Luna. In Latin, Luna means 'the moon' . For most of my childhood, I would sneak out of the house and just stare at the moon. Mother would get me back the minute she woke up.

'Were going to Hogwarts Luna!' I exclaimed. I picked up my wand and spell book, before putting them in my bag. I stuck my wand in the front pocket of my bag.

'Is Father awake?' I asked the 2 blonds.

'Yes, he's in his study. Why do you ask, dear?' Mother asked.

I shrugged before replying. 'No reason'. Mother nodded before looking at her watch, her eyes widened.

'What's wrong, Mother?' We both asked in unison.

'Its 10! Hurry up, pack your bags up! Lucius!'Mother exclaimed.

Draco rushed to his room as I picked up my trunk, Luna and my bag. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and picked up my trunk and Luna.

I switched off the light before closing the door. I threw down my trunk before shouting, 'Wingardium Leviosa!' the trunk was meters away from the floor.

I walked down the stairs, keeping my eye on the trunk. I felt sweat dripping on my forehead. When I reached the door, I dropped my trunk on the floor; it landed with a soft thump.

I bowed my head before wiping the sweat from my forehead. I opened the door for them all.

When Father came through the door, 'Wonderful job, Nadia. You will be amazing at Hogwarts' He complimented.

I smiled before bowing back. I went out after they all were out and helped Draco put his trunk in the car, before going into the car.

We reached there earlier than we thought. By 10:30, we had a trolly for our trunks and owls. I kept my backpack on my back, while Draco put his on his trolly.

'Platform 9 ¾ ?' I asked Father. He modded before taking Mothers hand. He ran into the wall between Platform 9 and 10.

'Father, Mother!' I screamed.

'Well then, I guess we run through there?' Draco said. I shrugged before running towards it, my eyes squeezed shut.

I could hear Draco running behind me. When i reached the other side of the wall, i opened my eyes.

The train! It was beautiful! Red, black and yellow populated the train. The front of it told you it was going to Hogwarts.

'Wow' Draco whispered next to me.

'I know' I whispered back.

I walked over to the man, who was taking everyones trunks. 'Thank you' I said, when he took my trunk and Luna. He pointed at my backpack, which I kept.

I walked up the stairs, and before I reached the last step I transformed into my Animagus.

I walked through the small clearing and found Draco in a compartment. I transformed back, and sat down.

I pulled off my bag and put on the corner of the seat. 'Hey!, You don't mind if I sit with you, right?' I asked.

My head was on my bag, one of my legs were bent the other . 'No, Not at all! I was hoping you would' He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Before I could say anything, the train whistled signalling we were leaving.

Mother and Father were waiting outside. Mother kept waving at us, giving air kisses and stuff. I mentally barfed.

'So, you know which house you're going to be in?' I asked, my eyes closed.

'Of course, I'm going to be in Slytherin!' He said confidently.

I laughed. 'Of course. What about me? Slytherin?' I asked him.

'Of course!' He replied, without hesitation.

After that we just talked about lessons and Quidditch. He said his favorite lesson has got to be Potions, I disagreed (of course.) Defense Against the Dark Arts, seems really fun.

Sadly for Quidditch, we're not allowed to join. But my favorite position has got to be Chaser. Draco said Seeker.

I've always known I would be different from Draco. From looks, all the way to the way we dress.

You see, I have black short hair, and I have a normal skin tone. Compared to Draco, who has blond hair and pale skin.

I've always known that Mother was related to me. But Father? I don't know how he landed someone like Mother.

Anyway, I hope the train ride is really long. I'm super nervous for everything.
