So young, So damaged

Your family

December 31st, 1990 - January 1st, 1991

It is New Year's Eve, a party is roaring. Children sitting around the kitchen table in the neutral colored mansion as more and more people start entering. The party is at the Silvius family's manor, the daughter of the occupants named Juniper is blabbering to the children of her parents friends.

"Blaise get your own dessert plate! Merlin! And you two barmy's! Stop eating all of the cookies will you?", Juniper said in a angered tone to the deep melanated slim boy, Blaise Zabini, and to the two pale chubby ones named Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

"Oh let them be! Stop being so bossy Juni, it's the New Year's for Merlins sake", the blond boy named Draco called her by a nickname he gave her when they were 6, as he wiggled on the kitchen island.

Juniper has known Draco Malfoy her whole life, their mother's grew up together and are best friends. Draco and Juniper on the other hand were nothing like Narcissa Malfoy and Malia Silvius.

Though, Juniper is best friends with Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. She didn't really fit in with the other girls, Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass, Juniper always thought they were too obsessive over the boys that's why she befriended Blaise and Theo. As you can say, she is not like the other girls.

  "Maybe fixing your anger issues should be your New Years Resolution,—", Pansy Parkinson has butted herself into the conversation, while looking at Daphne Greengrass for validation.

The blonde girl that Pansy looked at then shakes her head in disbelief and disappointment of her childhood friends comment. "—Instead of going to Hogwarts your parents should take you to St. Mun—."

  "You know Parkinson, you talk awfully a lot about others problems when you should be worrying about your own", Juniper said pointing her at Pansy's pug face.

Blaise, Draco and the other kids made eye contact has they looked up from their desserts, having a shocked but playful look. The Blaise and Draco try holding in their laughs but unable to keep it in. They burst into laughter unable to stop, Pansy's face reddens in anger and embarrassment unable to think of a comeback.

As the argument and laughter dies down, Draco takes a big gasp of air before he tries to speak words into existence. "Shut it Malfoy, always getting into conversations that you're not part of", Juniper rebutted. She never liked Draco, not even as a friend, he always had a way to slither his way into others businesses.

"Settle down children, the count down is about to happen. Go on ahead to the ball room" Malia broke the beginning of second argument in a motherly voice as she made her arms sweep, ushering the kids out the kitchen.

The kids make it to the ball room, everyone is gathered watching the sparks in the air that was cast by Junipers father counting down the remaining time of 1990.

  "...FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE, HAPPY NEW YEAR!" everyone yelped, adults locking lips with their partners or their champagne glasses, children jumping up and down but stopping in disgust of the elders.

Juniper and her parents weren't doing the same as the others, Malia and Callisto reached for their daughter right away and swept her off her feet. The parents embraced their only child in a hug and a kiss on both sides of her temples from each of her parents.

  "Happy 11th birthday Mors darling!" Malia said her daughters middle name as her husband and her brought their daughters feet to the wooden floor.

The mother then conjured a small, long, rectangular box with a dark wood finish on the outside. A gift. It seems to be some type of jewelry box. Malia handed the birthday girl the present. The other's soon calmed down and circled around the three family members, the children upfront and the adults surrounding.
