AN: Sorry I didn't make this "at hogwarts" :( But wee!children popped into my head and wouldn't leave.

***

A child is a mixture of its parents and Cecily Malfoy was no different. Her grey eyes held the same cold, steely look that belonged to her father and her grandfather. Her nose had the same upturn as her mother's nose; one might call it pug-like.

The difference between Cecily and her parents was her upbringing. Pansy and Draco spent far too much time abroad with little care to who raised their less-than-precious daughter.

Cecily was seven when she met Jakob Weasley who could never keep his hair combed properly and seemed to be ginormous compared to all the other seven year olds. How on earth does one get that tall?

"My mum and dad are magical and I'm going to be just like them and you know my dad plays for the Cannons and one day I'm going to play for the Cannons just like my dad. Did you know that my mum and dad are best friends with Harry Potter? Very best friends. They're almost as famous as him. He's like my uncle. Only not really. I think I can do spells already. Did you know --"

Cecily cut Jakob off with a rough slap to the face. He charged off across the playground in tears. She returned to her nanny, a scowl on her tiny face.

Wizard boys shouldn't make little squib girls feel this bad.

Ooh, ouch, that last sentence...

Re: for Fourth_Rose (&$%#$ computer. :-| ) nightfalltwen April 23 2007, 01:12:08 UTC

Isn't it though? And if you think about it... why does she think she's a squib? She's only seven. She's got at least three years and a bit before any letter from Hogwarts comes and she could start showing magic then...

I love untold backstory.

Oh, poor Cecily. :(

:( Poor Cecily.

Though I love the name Cecily.

Oh, my, this is lovely. Poor Cecily. And Jakob is just perfect--the worst parts of Ron and Hermione both. *g*

Thank you. :D I enjoyed putting the worst parts of those parents into that little boy. I enjoyed it so much I almost feel bad for him. *snicker*

0_0 oh that last line took me by surprise, and delightfully so. bravo!

Re: for Fourth_Rose (&$%#$ computer. :-| ) nightfalltwen April 23 2007, 06:01:41 UTC

Thank you :) I'm glad you were delightfully surprised ^_^

Re: for Fourth_Rose (&$%#$ computer. :-| ) fourth_rose April 23 2007, 12:28:24 UTC

Ouch, that last line was a killer...

Such a lovely drabble, though - thank you very much for writing it! Hopefully, Cecily is just a late bloomer :)

Re: for Fourth_Rose (&$%#$ computer. :-| ) nightfalltwen April 23 2007, 16:39:55 UTC

Imagine though if she is a late bloomer... but all this time she's been told she's a squib by her parents?

Dun dun dunnnnnnn!

I'm glad you liked it :D
