Kali had been away from her Father for a whole day. It was harder than it sounded. She loved her Father and how he took her in and treated her. But being away for a day was hard. The fact that she would have to be away from him until Hogwarts kids got out was... going to be troublesome. Narcissa stayed home with her though, so there was some company there for her. Draco was happy to be far away from Kali and her Muggle blood self. He was with his friends where he belonged, right on Slytherin's doorstep. It was Draco's first year at Hogwarts, and yet he knew so much already as it was. He was a bully along with his friends also.

"Hey, we heard you have a sister," Matteo Riddle said as he made his way to Draco. Draco rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"No, she is not my sister, I hate her so much. She was adopted into our family by my Mother and Father. Doesn't mean she is my sister."

"She's a Muggle then?" Theodore Nott said, also a friend of Draco.

"Yeah, she is," Draco replies and they keep walking down to the Slytherin common room. Pansy felt different about the situation.

"You don't have to be so harsh towards her, she is probably really nice."

"That's the problem. She is nothing like me or my family. She is nice and it is gross. She is not a Wizard and she is not a Slytherin. She doesn't belong." Everyone listened to Draco's words and looked at each other. All but Tom Riddle that is. He was part of the group. But at the same time, he had nothing much to say to them. He was sort of off in his own world. They all knew Draco was harsher than the others in the group and so they said no more on the issue. Lucius sat at his desk and filed through papers, trying to find a certain document. It didn't help that whenever he got mad, he threw everything to the floor. He sorted through them and found a picture of him and Narcissa together. He couldn't help but smile and he decided to write a letter for both Narcissa and Kali. He gave them to a messenger owl and sent it off. Kali had woken up hungry, as if she hadn't eaten the night before. She made her way downstairs and realized Narcissa wasn't up yet. She decided to make her and her Mother breakfast. She began cooking and realized that today was her first day of school. When Kali looked at the time though, it was only five in the morning. She continued her breakfast and Narcissa woke up to the smell. She put on a dress and got ready for the morning... but was confused when she looked at the time. Lucius and Draco were already gone and at Hogwarts by then. She went downstairs to see Kali was the one cooking. Kali heard her on the stairs and made her a plate just in time.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"I'm making breakfast before I have to go to school. I made you some too." Narcissa wiped her eyes and sat at the table, Kali passing her a plate of eggs, sausage, toast and bacon. She smiled and looked up at Kali and began eating.

"Who taught you how to make breakfast? Or... food at all?"" Kali sat down and began eating too.

"Brutus. He made me make food for him every morning. He also made me do the dishes, the laundry and clean the store." Narcissa was disgusted to hear this kind of behavior from Brutus, but she didn't dismiss it one bit.

"I'm sorry to hear that, sweetheart. Are you excited for school today?" Kali smiles as she has a mouth full of eggs.

"I'm very excited." Narcissa and Kali finish up their food and get dressed. Narcissa drives her to the private school and kisses her on the head as they both sit in the car, staring at the school.

"Well, this is it. Have a great day, honey." Kali smiled and waved goodbye. This was weird for Narcissa... bringing a child to somewhere that wasn't Hogwarts. It was normal and it actually felt pretty... nice. Narcissa drove home and sat alone in the house. That too was weird for her. She arrived home as the Owl did as well. She smiled and took the letters off and one said Kali and one said 'my Love.' Narcissa laughed and took them both inside, along with the owl so she could send something back to Lucius.
