I do not own any of the characters apart from Eve Malfoy. All the characters belong to J.K. Rowling.

I had barely just woken up and then remembered that it was my bithday. Not just any birthday though my 11th.

I got out of bed and got dressed into a black and emerald green dress with some short heels on. I then brushed my long platinum blond hair into a pony tail. Once I was ready I ran out of my room and down the corridor to my brother Draco's room.

His room was a bit bigger than mine but mine was still big I could fit an elephant in my room because it was that big.
Anyway when I got to his room I knocked on the door three times but didn't wait for a answer. I practically bounced into his room and knocked him straight over. "Someone's excited this morning. I haven't seen you like this since you were 7 and you got your first broom." Draco said lifting himself off the floor. Draco was a year older than me and you can ignore all the things that are said about him being cold hearted and unable to love because they're not true. He was soft and loving at home but I know why he was mean at school and it's because he has a reputation to uphold like I do.

Mum called us from downstairs but had to magnify her voice because our house was that big. It wasn't really a house it was a manor but that sounded a bit too posh for my liking.

We went down the numerous corridors in the manor and finally downstairs into the living room on the table there was a letter. Mum handed it to me so I ripped it open and took out the letter from Hogwarts. The letter read

I then took the next letter and read

"I got into Hogwarts. I got into Hogwarts woohoo."I shouted. I couldn't calm down. "Mum mum mum" "yes Eve?" "When can we go to diagon alley can we go tomorrow please please please." "Of course but if people ask if you're a Malfoy then just ignore them ok?" "Yes mother what pet should I get? Is Draco coming?" I was getting too excited. "Eve come here now." My father said in a commanding voice. I bounced into the kitchen still excited and my father gave me a drink. "What is it?" I asked eagerly. "A birthday treat" replied my father with a Malfoy smirk. As I drank I realised what it was. I walked calmly back to my mother. "Have you had a calming draught?" Mother asked and I just nodded my head but then looked at the stack of presents that were in the corner and I became hyper again. "Lucius the draught didn't work" my mother told my father. "You've got to be joking Eve Malfoy what are we going to do with you?" He chuckled and gave a rare pure smile and I giggled.


I unwrapped the presents and mum got me a new broomstick for home and some fudge. I hugged her and she returned it. Father got me a potions set, aunt bella got me some new quills and Draco got me another book about quidditch. When he came through the door from having a talk with father I launched myself at him knocking him over again giving him a hug as a thank you and then got off of Draco and gave father a courtesy because I knew he didn't like hugs. Mother laughed as Draco was muttering about being knocked over twice in an hour. Draco however caught me off guard and pushed me face down onto the sofa and mother laughed even more at our childish play fighting


At dinner we all sat at the table with father at the head of it and mother opposite me and Draco. Dobby brought a large chocolate fudge cake out and put it on the table and muttered "happy birthday miss." I liked Dobby because he was kind to me but when father beat him I hated it when that happened. I wanted to present him with clothes but last time father threatened to use the cruciatus curse on me if I ever did it again and I didn't want to experience that. I had heard about how the dark lord used it on innocent people. I savoured the chunk of cake that I got.


Me and Draco retreated to my room and stood out on my balcony "so" Draco began "you're going to Hogwarts with me. What house do you think you'll be in sis?" "I hope and I pray that I'm in slytherin because I don't know what father will do if I'm not." I said worried. "It's getting late I'm off to bed" said Draco. "Same." I said. And with that thought I went to bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep.
