(🥀)═══ CHAPTER THREE
❝ the beginning ❞

Diagon Alley, hidden behind the bustling facade of the Muggle world, was a magical haven that beckoned wizards and witches with its enchanting charm.

Cobblestone streets wound through a kaleidoscope of shops, each building adorned with colorful signs and sparkling displays. The air buzzed with the sound of laughter, magical creatures, and the occasional hoot of an owl. Wizards and witches strolled along the narrow lanes, their robes flowing in a myriad of colors.

Amidst the buzzing charm of Diagon Alley, Mazikeen and Mrs. Shafiq embarked on a shopping excursion, leaving Mr. Shafiq to handle his pressing work.

Their first stop was Gringotts, where the glistening white marble of the bank towered before them.

As they entered, a voice unfamiliar to Mazikeen reached their ears.

"Do my eyes betray me? Celeste! How delightful to see you," the blonde witch walking up to them greeted Mrs. Shafiq, her eyes sparkling with genuine pleasure.

Mrs. Shafiq's eyes flashed with realization and she quickly returned the warm greeting. "And you, Aliénor! It has been too long," she spoke calmly and kissed the woman on the cheek before gesturing to Mazikeen. "This is my daughter, Mazikeen."

"Aliénor Malfoy. It's truly a pleasure to meet you, Mazikeen," Mrs. Malfoy said, extending a polite smile. She embodied an air of refined elegance, her presence reminiscent of a pureblood heritage that stretched back generations.

"Likewise, Mrs. Malfoy," Mazikeen reciprocated with a nod as a boy her age stood by the older witch's side.

"This is Abraxas," Mrs. Malfoy introduced, placing a hand on his shoulder and gently squeezing it.

The younger Malfoy mirrored the regality of his mother. With platinum-blond hair and sharp features, he possessed a characteristic charm.

"It's nice to meet you both," Abraxas stated, grimacing at Mazikeen's satchel where Artemis had poked her head out.

The majestic fox had tagged along with the young witch, drawn by the magical energies of Diagon Alley.

"And who might this be?" Mrs. Malfoy inquired, blinking curiously at the creature.

"This is Artemis," Mazikeen replied briefly.
