The 11 following days at Malfoy manor was silcent. Lucius went to work as if nothing had happened, Narcissa was in her office, Draco walked trough the Manor in hope his mother would come out of her office so they could talk, but that didn't happen, she just stayed in her office until dinner and she then went back until she was about to sleep. 

This wasn't the same for Asteria Malfoy, the blonde girl was not allowed to go outside of her own room. Going to the toilet and showering went fine because she had her own bathroom but breakfast, lunch and dinner was horrible, theri house elf Rookey came up with food and sometimes a fruit or cookie. The days when she cried the most she usually skipped eating and read a book instead. She went to bed early and slept until 12 am. It was not just how long she slept that had changed, she showered longer than usual, read longer than usual and stared at her wall longer than usual. 

The bruises her dad had given her eleven days ago was almost faded away but you could still see them slightly. This day was about to be the same as the rest of them had been. It was 11:52 and Asterias eyes was slighty open adjusting to the sunlight. She groaned as she saw the clock wishing that she had slept longer so that more of the dayhad passed by. The 13 year old girl swinged her legs from the bed onto the floor and rubbed her eye with the back of her hand. Asteria walked in to her bathroom to shower and when she was done she saw her in the mirror and once again thought about her hair that was too log in her opinion. She put on some pyjama shorts and an oversized t-shirt and thought of Rookey the house elf and in a couple of seconds the elf appeared in her bedroom with a tray that had a glass of milk and a sandwich on.

"Good morning miss Asteria Malfoy, here is your breakfast" the elf said

"Good morning Rookey, and thank you but I was just wondering if you could grab a scissor for me?"

"Ofcourse, Rookey will be back soon" and with that the elf dissapeared for half a minute until he appeared again with a scissor in his hand. "Thank you"

"You're welcome miss Asteria" Rookey said with a smile and he then was gone. 

Asteria grabbed the scissor and went in to the bathroom once again, she opened the drawer and took out her yellow brush. A minute later the blond girl stood ready in front of the mirror with the scissor in her hand, she let out a shaky breath and then cut her hair a few inches shorter than before, not too much but still shorter than before. After Asteria had cut her hair she let out a breath, almost like a laugh looking at what she had done. 

"Well at least it's something new " she said to her reflection. Due to her being too young for using magic outside of hogwarts she grabbed brush used for cleaning and collected all the excess hair on the floor and dumped it in the trashbag.

With her new hair she took a hair tie a put up half the hair in a small bun. Everyday was boring at the Mafloy manor but with this change Asteria wanted to do something different so she took out some pencils from her desk and some paper so she could draw, for about an hour Asteria had been drawing facial features to get better at drawing a whole face. She took the paper of drawings and put them on her bedside table and started reading her old herbology book again.
