From the Diaries of a Witch [Completed] [Under Edit]

Entry 11-Apologies

Dear Diary,

My dad came to talk to me in the morning. When he knocked on my bedroom door, I told him he could come in. I was ready to finally talk to someone after a long night's rest. At first, I thought my dad was Scorpius because they have similar voices so when I looked up, I was disappointed to see him. "What do you want, Malfoy?" I snapped at him. Our conversation was already not going so well. "You are a Malfoy too you know. I don't appreciate when you snap at me young lady," he replied sternly. "No, I'm not. Not anymore at least and I can do whatever I want. You're not the boss of me," I said and I looked back down at James's note. My dad sighed. "You're just as stubborn as your mum. Gemma, you don't have to look at me but just hear me out, ok?" "Fine," I muttered. "Gemma, you know your mom and I love you very much right?" he said. "Yes but..." I began to talk but he cut me off "Good, then you know that we don't leave you out from the family. We love just as much as your brothers and sister." "Dad, I know but it's just that. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not special according to you and mum. You only care that we have your looks and mom only cares that we do well at Hogwarts. I don't meet any of your standards. Yours or mum's. That's why I feel left out all the time," I told dad. He nodded then he said "Do you know why we named you Gemma Jade Malfoy?" I shook my head. "Well I tell you. Gemma means precious stone and since you are the youngest, you're the most precious," I giggled but he continued. "And Jade well you may know that I was Slytherin house and green is my favorite color. I thought the name suited you," he laughed too and keept talking "So Gemma your full name mean Precious Green Stone. While you may not have grey eyes and bright blonde hair. You very much remind me of your mother. Your beautiful light brown eyes and dirty blonde hair is a perfect combination of me and your mother. You're very smart and kind. Don't think that we don't care about you. We love you very much Gemma. You're very special to the both of us." Just after my dad finished reciting his little speech, my mum walked in. I smiled as I watched her strut over to my bed. My mum always looked gorgeous. "We have a gift for you Gemma," she said. My mum held a small black velvety box in her hands. She sat on my bed and opened the box. It was white gold locket but I couldn't tell what was on it "It's the Malfoy crest," my mom said looking at my confused face "Your dad gave it to me on my birthday when we were engaged. Now I'm giving it to you, Gemma. Just remember, you are and always will be a Malfoy." She took the locket out of the box and I faced away from her. I could feel the chain as she placed it around my neck. "There," my mum said. I gave them both a big smile and big hugs. "We'll leave you be," my dad said. "Wait," I shot up "Thank you." They just smiled at me and they left. My door was shut behind them. I decided I would write to James and within ten minutes, I got a reply.

Gemma-

Glad you and your parents made up. Your middle name is quite beautiful. Jade suits you. My middle name doesn't suit me at all but tell me what you think. James Sirius Potter. It's my dad's godfather's name. Anyways, I can't wait to see you. Oh and Wyatt says hi. See you soon, Gemma!

Sincerely,

James Sirius Potter

Sirius isn't such a bad name. It's quite handsome actually. I can't wait to see James! I should be getting to bed, tomorrow is Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

Gemma Jade Malfoy
