Aspen Malfoy was given to her Uncle Lucius when she was one year old when her mother tragically died in an Auror raid. From that moment she becomes The Other Malfoy.
"I am more than a Malfoy. I was the first to not be sorted into Slytherin." I sa...
Aspen closed her last trunk and smiled as one of the elves placed it's hand on all her belongings and took it to the train.
Today Aspen would be returning to Malfoy manor but one thing would be different. Aspen now had a boyfriend.
Aspen declared her feelings for Bill Weasley almost five months ago and after two months of going on dates, they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
Aspen couldn't help but grin thinking of the summer the two will spend together. The two already worked it out. Aspen will spend July with the Weasley's before Bill joins Aspen and Marie on their two week trip to Paris.
"Ready to go?" Aspen's roommate, Elizabeth Daniels, asked as she held out Aspen's bag.
"Ready to go home no. I hate being around my uncle sometimes." Aspen said and Elizabeth chuckled before the pair of them made their way downstairs to the common room.
Bill was waiting for Aspen along with Charlie and Elizabeth's boyfriend Andrew Cooper.
"Ready to make our way to the carriages?" Charlie asked and Aspen nodded.
"Yes, I already have my bag packed with my book to keep me company if I get bored," Aspen said and Bill smiled.
"What book?"
"It's a muggle book. The Sword of Shannara." Aspen said with a smile before the five Gryffindor's walked out the tower and out of the castle.
"We are going to be fourth years," Elizabeth said and Andrew rolled his eyes.
"Well, I am going to be fifth year. I don't want to deal with O.W.Ls." Andrew said and Aspen smiled softly.
"We have at least one more year before we have to worry about that," Aspen said as the double doors opened and the fresh air hit Aspen. She couldn't wait to spend most of her summer outside.
One carriage was left and the five quickly filed inside and the magic carriage began to move on its own. Aspen sat in between Charlie and Bill and she leaned into Bill's side who smiled at her.
"Excited for the summer?"
"The moment's I get to spend with you yes. With my Uncle. Not so much." Aspen said as she thought back to the letter she got from her Uncle a month ago.
Dear Aspen,
As summer approaches you know the rules. Your Aunt and I will be attending multiple parties for my job. Draco will be in the care of his nanny so you do not need to worry about him. The elves will prepare all the meals and snacks when your Aunt and I are not around.
If you do leave please leave a note either taped to your door or in my study. If we do host parties at the manor please remember do not mention the fact you are a Gryffindor.
With much love,
Uncle Lucius.
"Don't pay to much to your Uncle. He'll learn." Bill said before the carriage stop and they saw the train already waiting for them.
"See you after the summer," Elizabeth said as she climbed out the carriage and followed Andrew onto the train. Aspen waved goodbye as she climbed onto the train and followed Charlie.
"I told Tonks to hold a compartment for us and to see if she could find Marie as well." He said and Aspen smiled.
Even though Charlie was younger than Aspen and Bill he always tried to be their friend and it worked wonderfully.
Charlie found the compartment with the pink haired Hufflepuff who waved when she saw them.
"Wotcher Weasleys. Wotcher Malfoy." Tonks said and Aspen smiled softly.
"Wotcher Tonks. Ready for the summer?" Aspen asked as she sat near the window. Bill threw himself beside's Aspen as Charlie sat beside his best friend.
"Beyond ready. Though I know my mum is not going to be happy over my grades this year." She said and Aspen chuckled.
"If you ever need help I'll be happy to help you. I'm the one who got Charlie's grade up in Charms." Aspen said and Charlie rolled his eyes.
"She'll never let me live that down."
"No, she won't," Bill said before the train began to whistle and it slowly took off.
"To King's Cross, we go!"

Six hours later Aspen woke up to Bill shaking her softly.
"Are we at the train station?" Aspen asked as she stretched herself out.
"Yes, we just got here. I just woke everyone else up. You took the longest." Bill said and Aspen rolled her eyes and she stood up and grabbed her purse. After making sure she had everything she followed the group of people outside.
She spotted her Aunt Cissy first who waved her over. Aspen turned to Bill who smiled.
"See you next month." He said and Aspen frowned.
"I'm so used to waking up and walking to the common room and seeing you there," Aspen said as she wrapped her arms around Bill.
"Don't worry. You'll see me soon." He said as he kissed her forehead. Aspen smiled before she fixed her bag and walked towards her Aunt. She smiled when she saw Draco sitting on his mum's hip.
"Aspen!" The little blonde boy cried out and Aspen quickly grabbed her baby cousin and held him.
"So was that the boyfriend I heard about?" Narcissa asked her niece earning Aspen to blush.
"Yes, Aunt Cissy. His name is Bill." Aspen said and Narcissa chuckled.
"When can I meet him?" She asked as Aspen grabbed her things.
"Not yet. It's still new and you know how Uncle Lucius feels about his family." She said but Narcissa rolled her eyes.
"Oh, who cares what he thinks. As long as you are happy my love that's all that matters. Now come on. Let's go back to the manor."
