"Done with your packing , Y/N ?" Lucius and Narcissa asked her .
She was sitting on the floor of her room , her stuff scattered all around the floor .
"No dad . Just the last bits are to be done ."
She went towards her cupboard , fetched the remaining of her things like the blanket she had been gifted by her grandmother , her first ever blanket .
Her eyes noticed the pink , fluffy stuffed teddy which she used to play when she was a kid . She always used to sleep with it as a kid . But her parents never let her play with that unsupervised .
"Father can I take this to Hogwarts ?" She asked the man .
He was about to say no but seeing that she would take it anyways , he agreed .
"Yes you can ."
"Thank you , dad ."
"And yes one more thing . Which house will you be in ?"
"Slytherin ," she said unsure of what her house was gonna be .
Draco always had dreamed about being in Slytherin ever since he was 6 . But deep down , she knew she wasn't a Slytherin . She lacked the pride which purebloods had .

Y/N stood on the platform 9¾ with her trunk on her trolley and her owl Irwin . He hooted merrily as Y/N smiled at him .

Narcissa and Lucius took both of them on the side and said , "Stick out for each other . Take care of each other . And write to us every week ."
"Yes mum ," they both chimed in .
Lucius gave both of them an encouraging smile and Narcissa engulfed them , giving each of them a forehead kiss .
They loaded their trunks on the train .
"Mum , why are your eyes glassy ?" She asked Narcissa .
"My baby is starting her school ."
"Oh mum . I will write to you twice every week . Alright ?"
Narcissa nodded .

As the train set off , Draco said ,"Sitting alone or with me ?"
"Who are you sitting with ?"
"Crabbe -"
"I am better off on my own ." She said , flipping off her hair she entered the carriage she had stored her trunk in ."

"Can I sit here ?" Asked a red-haired girl but as soon as she saw Y/N , she sighed and closed the compartment door behind her .
"Heyy there , Weasley . I don't mind you sitting with me ."
The girl eyed her with suspicion but sat on the other seat .

Both of them came from pure-blood wizarding families but the way they were raised was disparate .

Ginny , on one hand , born into a pure-blood wizarding family of 'blood traitors' . She was kind , a bit shy too . She agreed with her parents . They didn't think about Muggle-borns in the way the other pure-blood families thought .

Y/N , on the other hand , was born in the Malfoy household . The Malfoys , who were also related to the Blacks via her mother , were of a very Muggle-hating ideology . She didn't stand by those thoughts and had a very much rebellious nature , in her skin which she got from her aunt Andromeda . Lucius and Narcissa always tried to brainwash her but she never agreed with them . Once the argument escalating to a point that her father threatened her that she would be disowned . Had it been Draco in her place , he would've been kicked out of the house at that very instant . But Y/N being the only female heiress to be ever born in the Malfoy household , she had gotten away with a threat .
