"Callie! Callie! Come down now, the day has come" shrieked Aunt Bellatrix from the floor below. The Malfoy Manor was extremely large and dormant so when one was to yell, it would leave a lasting echo.
Today was not a day I was excited for. Yeah, it was something that my father thought was needed, yet there was something inside me that made me want to abandon it at all costs. The idea of it simply scared the death out of me. I have never left the Malfoy Manor. Except for once when we dropped Draco off at King's Cross for his First Year of Hogwarts. But other than that rare occasion, I have been locked up here for 14 years.
But now, I would go to Hogwarts like my father wants me to and fulfill the tasks he asks of me.
" Callie Riddle, must I scream for you again!" She yelled.
" I'll be right down, I swear!" I screamed. The light shined through my eyes as I pulled open the blinds. I got up and looked into the mirror to see a small girl,
with long brown hair and hazel eyes. I look somewhat like what my father resembled. But I look like my mother a lot, says Aunt Bellatrix. I've only seen one photo before father took it and locked it up.
I ran a brush through my hair, put on the robes the Malfoys had provided for me and grabbed my bags while I headed downstairs.
" Hey Callie", said Draco as we stepped out of his room when I did," don't worry about today alright? Everything will be fine with me there. You'll get sorted into Slytherin, befriend the Potter boy and tell my father and yours of his plans, it's really simple" he said. His grey eyes calmed me down like they always have.
Draco was like my brother, we practically were because of how we grew up together. I slowly let out the air I had been holding in, and nodded. He put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed, " Now let's go confront the beast downstairs" he chuckled and I laughed along. We walked down the stairs to see Aunt Bellatrix fiddling with her wand. Today was going to be a long day, but at least I had Draco to keep me steady for what was ahead.
