As you already know who i am, you may be a little freaked out, and I understand that, because most people are. What you probably won't understand is that I'm not exactly what you think I am. You probably think I'm all evil, and horrible to everyone i come across, but I'm not, even though my parents are practically the two most wanted witches and wizards of all time. My mum says that i'm 'apparently' smart, funny, talented and kind, basically everything she isn't. (Bellatrix does have a heart after all, but only for close family and her fellow death eaters). Dad says that he wants me to do best in life, but he says he would love me to work for him. (I don't tend to like that idea). At the moment, Ive been taken in my my Auntie and Uncle, Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy, because my mum has been put in Azkaban, because she did something very bad, and my father is too weak to look after me and himself, and he has gone into hiding. As i've already told you, Lucius and Narcissa are my Auntie and Uncle (narcissa is my mums sister), and they have two children, Harmony (aged 12) and Draco (aged 11), he is the same age as me! I am very close to my aunt, uncle and two cousins, as they have had to look after me a numerous amount of times. Also, when i was younger, and I mean alot younger, I spent some weeks with my Mum's cousin, and close relatives, The Black Family, though i have not seen them in a long time. So there is a bit of background information about my family.

''Hannah, wake up, we need to go out early today, and ma has got a letter for you'', Harmony whispered softly in my ear.
''Why''? I muttered lazily
''Mum just said we have tp get up''. Draco screamed through the door.
''All right, all right, I'm getting up''. I mumbled.
Harmony and Draco are the closest things I have to a brother and Sister. They are so close to each other, however their personality's are completely different. Harmony is just about to start her 2nd year at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, and Draco is about to start his 1st year ar Hogwarts.
When i had got out of bed, got dressed, brushed my hair, and gone into the dining room ready for breakfast, I was in for a very big suprise.
''Here you are Hannah, here's some porridge and some toast, and it looks like a letter has come in the post for you''. Lucius said to me very softly, Lucius and Narcissa both treat me like im their own child, as I am nearly always living with them now.
As I looked at the frount of the letter, my face lit up, and i was completely flabbergasted. The frount of the letter read:
Miss H Marvolo
Room 23
Valley view
Malfoy Manor
As I opened the envelope, I could feel Lucius, Narcissa, Harmony and Draco staring at me. (I must have just gone bright red), so I carried on reading the letter to myself.
The Letter read:
Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
Dear Miss Marvolo,

Deputy headmistress
When I had finished reading the letter, I looked up and all I could say was
"wow".
"what do you mean 'wow'"? Draco said miserably.
"well first of all, I can't believe they called me by my false surname, not my real surname (if your wondering, Marvolo is my false surname), and secondly, I cannot believe that I'm actually now a student at such a famous school". I said, slightly out of breath, still shocked about the letter.
"well, both your dad and mum did go to Hogwarts, and you've been guarenteed a place there since you were born". Narcissa explained.
"cool". I said, because that's all I could say.
"Now, let's get our coats on, and let's make our way down to Diagon Alley to get your equipment. Now, Hannah, could you do me a huge favour and read out your equipment list, so I know what you and Draco need". Lucius asked me.
"Sure". I said, and then I started reading.
