One Angel | Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott

Chapter 1

Hi, this was a story I wrote 2 years ago and it is now under update. Chapters will come again, as an updated version.

Things don't always go as planned. I had intended to live in America for my entire life; moving to London was never part of the plan. Yet, here I am. This situation is rather dull, but anything is better than America.

America is a constant reminder of unpleasant people, traumatic events, and a version of myself I'm not proud of. I can't entirely be blamed; as everyone knows, bad influences shape you, and that's precisely what happened. I was turning to someone I started to hate.

My teachers, the people around me, my non-existent friends, my "friends," and, of course, Leo. I'm relieved to leave that piece of negativity behind in America.

And speaking of Leo, he was my ex-boyfriend – an unpleasant one, not just in looks but in behavior.

I never informed him about my move, nor did I officially end our relationship. I suppose he'll notice my absence now, and I can't think about the lies he'll come up with when people ask him where I left off.

Despite the unexpected turn my life has taken, I'm grateful for this opportunity. It's not exactly how I envisioned my future, but as they say, whatever is lost might not have been meant for me.

It turns out, my mother wasn't meant for me. Her tragic death in a car accident, attributed to her being a "muggle," remains a sore point. I held her responsible – why did she have to be a muggle? Only muggles die in car accidents. I was Living in California with her before the incident. I developed a strong disdain for the city, especially San Diego, fucking hate it.

Oddly, my mother and I lived across the world while my father and sister stayed in London. The reason, aside from my father working at Hogwarts, remains unclear. I suppose my mother's job in America financed us well. Regardless, I'll never comprehend, and actually I don't even care.

Aurora, my little sister, hurried me, I couldn't let her witness my packing, especially my stash of illegal medicine, uhm drugs to be clear. It's become an addiction nowadays, a part of me now, and revealing this to my family would only lead to disappointment and heartbreak.

But, I intend to quit once I start at Hogwarts. Maybe leaving them behind is the only solution, but standing here, contemplating, I decide to take them with me but to stop the usage while school starts.

In the middle of the chaos, Aurora screams at me from downstairs again, "Dad told you to keep an eye on the time, but I guess I have to do that myself because we really need to go now, Nellie."

"It can't be already?" I respond, watching the clock confirm that time has slipped away. I hastily pack my belongings urgently.

It feels strange living with Aurora; she is my sister but our relationship resembles a distant friend that I meet once a year. I wonder if that's the norm or if there's an expectation for a closer bond between sisters.

But I hated that my little sister was like my bigger sister, I never really lived with her before, me and mom only visited them on the holidays so it feels weird that she treats me like I need her help with everything.

I don't know if weird, strange or whatever words I should use are right. It just felt strange, I never actually thought about having a sister like this.

I know she's my sister but we are so different. Do I have to be like a role-model for her or something? I am only a bad influence for her.

"I'll be down in a minute" I screamed so she could hear me from upstairs.
