My Family

By Pyxis Malfoy

This is my family.  Let me introduce you to them, starting from the top going left to right. 

First is my paternal grandfather, Lucius Malfoy.  I spend a substantial amount of time with him.  He teaches me about potion making almost everyday.  I do my homework in his study.  Sometimes he's there, sometimes he's still at his office at Malfoy International.  He's the owner and President of the company.  He's the smartest most powerful wizard I know.  There is no one I would rather spend the day with.
The Malfoy name goes back centuries in the Wizarding World.  We were one of the first aristocratic families.  We own a number of large estates all over Europe.  Toddington Manor will become mine when I'm of age.

My paternal grandmother is Narcissa Malfoy nee Black.  She is from "The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black".  The Black name goes back farther than the Malfoy name.  All of our first names follow the Black family traditions of being named after stars or constellations.  Orion and Cassiopeia's names are the only ones that other Black family members have had but they weren't named after them.  Dad wanted to name Lynx after his grandfather, Cygnus but mum wanted to name him Leo like Tyl recommended.   Lynx was their compromise.  But they both agreed that the next boy would be named Cygnus, if she has another. 
Grandmother makes sure I know how to be a gentleman.  She gets me the best clothes, and makes sure the house elves press them.  She understands that in my station, I can't wear hand-me-downs, and my water needs to be cold and out of a glass.  She's always there to perform a needed cleaning charm and to scolded Tyl and/or Orion for getting me dirty.  

My maternal grandpa is Arthur Weasley.  He's really funny.  He understands me just as well as Grandfather Malfoy.  When Grandma is taking to get me in the creek with Tyl, Orion, and Lynx, he makes her leave me alone.  He's not as good with potions as Grandfather, but he has good ideas about new things to try.  Grandpa is a lot smarter than everyone thinks.  He teaches us to think before we act, and that not all magically items are safe.
The Weasley name goes back centuries also.  Most are pure-blooded wizards.  They really aren't muggle-lovers, they are fascinated by them and think wizards should get along with them.  Judge a person by who they are not what they are, is what Grandpa teaches us.

My maternal grandma is Molly Weasley nee Prewitt.  Grandma is the best hugger in the world.  I know I test her patience because I'm to aristocratic for her.  She tries her best to understand me but she can't, and that's fine with me.  Because grandma has taught me, sometimes you can't figure out why people do what they do, or why they are the way they are, but we can still love them with all of your heart.
The Prewitt name is also very old in the Wizarding World.

My daddy is next.  He's name is Draco Lucius Malfoy.  He's the best dad in the world.  He tells me I'm like my Grandfather.  I'm always so proper.  I know he also thinks about my wants first, because he'll let me do things with my Grandfather, when he really wants to be something with me.  Most dad's wouldn't to that.  He never pressures me into doing things with him instead.  That's Tyl's job.  He reminds me to think of dad's feelings.  I always have fun with daddy.  He's a great flier and really good at potions too.  He'll take only me over to Uncle Blaise's house and we'll play quidditch or some other games with Uncle Blaise and his son Alexander.

My mum is Ginevra Molly Malfoy nee Weasley.  She's a lot like grandma.  Mum understands me, she doesn't want me to act so "high and mightly"  Like, I'm a little prince.  She makes me laugh when she says, "Your father used to act just like you.  Thank goodness I was able to change that bad habit of his."  One day Orion said to mum,  "Mum, maybe you should let Pyxis' future wife change his bad habits.  It worked for Dad."  I wouldn't exchange her for any other mum.  She always has time for me.  She knows when I'm sad when no one else can figure it out.   When no one else will play with me mum well.  My brothers, sisters, and I are more important to her than anything else.  We always come first.
My mum has six brothers.  They all have a number of children, way to many to list. 

My oldest brother is named Tyl.  He is 10 years old and in grade 4.  Tyl is the Malfoy heir.  Daddy and Grandfather are hardest on Tyl.  He has to be better behaved then any of us.  He has to talk and dress correctly when we are out or people are over.  I believe he likes to stay at home because he can be himself there.  He loves to fly and he's a great chaser.  He'll play quidditch with me anytime I ask.  

My next oldest brother is Orion.  He is 9 years old and in grade 3.  Orion is considered the Black heir.  Grandmother said something about you can't be the heir of two families, so it goes to the second son.  That means when he is of age he gets Black Manor.  Grandmother grew up there.  Orion is Tyl's best mate.  They do everything together, but if I ask they let me play too.  Orion is a chaser too.  I like going to their quidditch games and practices.  Their coach let's me practice with them sometimes.  

I'm the third oldest.  I'm 7 years old and in grade 1.  I have my own broom, a junior cleansweep, my own horse, my own owl, and my own potions lab to name a few things.  I spend most of my time flying or in my potions lab.  I also go over to my best friend's house.  My best friend is Alexander Zabini.  Our dads' are good mates.  

My little brother is named Lynx.  He is 5 years old.  He's to young for school.  Lynx is Daddy's shadow.  He looks like dad did when he was a little boy, plus he is always with daddy.  He even goes to work with him.  I play with Lynx the most of all my brothers.  I taught him how to play wizards chess.  Grandfather taught me.  Daddy doesn't like to play but he will if I ask him.  Lynx will do whatever I ask.  I have to remember not to ask Lynx to do something for me in front of Tyl.  Tyl is always saying, "Stop treating Lynx's like your personal house elf."  Then he punches me and I have to tell Grandmother on him.  

The last two girls are my sisters, Carina and Cassie.  Their are twins but don't call them twin or say the twins when you are talking about them.  They will yell,  "I HAVE A NAME, IT'S NOT TWIN."  They are 3 years old. They play together all the time.  I play with them a little, when we are playing on the swings or slides.  Sometimes they pertain to be princesses and Lynx and I are the wizards that save them from a dragon.
