Lucy/Raina POV
It has been three years since I was reborn. Draco and I have gotten close and so has Neva and me. Right now I was getting dressed in some awful green robes that daddy bought me recently. I don't like green but oh well. Neva let me call Lucius, dad, and daddy because he has been around almost every day since they met. The only time he isn't home is when he has something he is working on.
As I finished dressing, mom came into the room with a box in her hand. "Yes, mommy?" I asked her while looking confused "You're not wearing those, sweety," she opened the box and kneeled next to me and showed me the box "You will wear this today," she said and I looked in the box. There was a dark blue dress with a ribbon in the middle and a dark blue cloak along with it.
I put it on immediately and looked in the mirror. I loved it. I hugged mommy "Thank you, mommy," I said and she smiled "I know you don't like those green robes so I got you this to wear today," I smiled and ran to where Draco was. I saw on the couch waiting for mom and me. He was wearing a suit similar to my dress.

I put my cloak on and we headed out. Draco and I grabbed onto mom's hands as she took us to a phone booth. Then I heard a lady's voice "Name?" it asked "Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and Raina Malfoy," mom replied 'Be careful Lucy' Neva said to me and I nodded. We usually talk like this ever since that day at the park, three years ago. She also helps me remember that I have a mission here but for now, I must bide my time. "Bussiness here?" the phone lady asked "We're here for Lucius Malfoy's trial against..." she hesitated "...death eaters," mom finished and name tags were given to her. She put one on each of us and the floor started going down, like an elevator. Once we reached the bottom floor, I saw a lot of people coming in through fireplaces and more elevators. So many people were walking everywhere.
As we were walking towards an elevator someone bumped into me and I ended up losing my mom. More people pushed me and I ended up in an elevator going up. When people got out they also pushed me out so I landed on my knees. I got up again but someone bumped into me again and I fell "Ow," I said and the person who bumped into me kneeled beside me. "Are you ok, child? Are you lost?" I grabbed on to his hand as he lifted me back on my feet and I dusted off my knees. I looked at the man and noticed he had red like hair and black robes "I lost my brother and mommy, so many people pushed me and I ended up here," I replied to the man. "Well, what is your name? I'm Arthur Weasley," he sais and I bowed respectfully "Pleasure to meet you mister Weasley, I'm Raina Malfoy," he seemed shocked at my name. "Well, who would have thought that Lucius Malfoy could have such a respectful child," he mumbled to himself.
I kept looking at the man waiting to see what he'll do. "Well, how about I help you find your mother?" he asked while extending his hand to me. "Ok," I said and grabbed his hand tightly so I wouldn't be lost again. We were the only ones in the elevator, so I decided to ask him what a death eater was "Mr. Weasley, what's a Death Eater?" I asked him and he seemed to tense up. He kneeled and looked at me "A Death Eater is someone very bad working for another very bad person," he said and I asked again "Like a guild, where there is one master and the others are members?" he nodded "Something like that. It is more like their master is the darkest wizard of all times and the Death Eater and what we call the members that follow him and do his bidding," I nodded and finally who I was meant to defeat in this world.
As we reached the bottom floor, We both walked out and I looked around for mom. I found her with Draco by a different elevator. She saw and came running to me. She hugged me tightly as she finally looked at Mr. Weasley "Raina, you stay away from him. He is a traitor to purebloods. Always messing with those worthless muggles," she said and turned around. She started walking so I followed her and so did Mr. Weasley. "Mom, why is it bad to befriend a muggle? Aren't they living, and breathing beings like us? What is so different?" I asked her and looked back at Mr. Weasley. He seemed shocked at my question but slightly smiled when he looked at me. Mom ignored my question and turned to Mr. Wealsey "I'm afraid I'm a bit lost Mr. Weasley. Do you know where my husband's trial is being held?" she asked him and he nodded. We go into the elevator "It has already started but I know the way. It's on the way to my stop actually," he replied and mother nodded. We were silent the whole way down. After 10 floors, we finally got off and Mr. Weasley showed us to where daddy is. After mom and Draco went in I bowed to Mr. Weasley "Thank you, Mr. Weasley. I hope you have a good day," I said and was about to go in when he stopped me "Here," he gave me a card "Whenever you need me, just call or come over to my house. You're always welcomed there," I nodded and put the card inside my cloak. I went inside and found mother sitting that the front with Draco. I went up to them and sat down next to Draco. "Raina, what are we doing here?" Draco asked and I just shook my head softly "I'll tell you later. Right now, just lie down and sleep," he nodded and put his head on my lap. after a while he fell asleep and I followed not long after.
I woke up when the verdict was being said "He is innocent," a man said and mom smiled lightly. Everyone got up except for mom so I just started shaking Draco awake "Draco, time to wake up. We have to go soon," he stirred for a while and then opened his eyes. After a while, we all left the ministry. Mom carried Draco while dad carried me "Daddy, why were you on trial?" I asked him and he looked down on me with a small smile "Well, apparently I did some very bad things for a very bad person. I didn't do those things because I wanted to, I did them because that man had control over me. I had no choice," I nodded and asked "The Imperius Curse?" he seemed shocked and asked me "Where did you hear that?" he asked me and I looked down "I might have...read one of the books...in your library," I said slowly "Don't be mad, I was curious," I said and continued to look down.
"I'm not mad, just ask permission next time, ok?" I nodded "Ok, daddy," after that we apparated home. Once there I went to my room and changed. I put Mr. Weasley's card in a safe place where no one but I would find it and then I went to the kitchen to eat dinner since it was dinner time.
Arthur Weasley POV
I made it home after a day at the ministry. I was still shocked at that little girl. How did Lucius Malfoy end up with such a respectful daughter that doesn't believe in what he does? The world is just a mystery that way, I just hope he doesn't hurt her one day for her own beliefs. I sat down at the table with all my family as they talked about their day "So Arthur, how were things at the ministry today?" Molly asked. "Strangest thing happened today. I ran into one of Malfoy's kids." she looked at me confused "Why is it strange?" "Well, get this, she was a three-year-old girl that got separated from her mother while they were on their way to Lucius' trial. She was pushed away from her mother on accident and ended up a floor higher. I ended up bumping into her on my way to the elevator so I helped her up and asked if she was lost. She said she was separated from her mother and brother with all the people pushing her. I told her my name and she bowed! She bowed to me and said 'Pleasure to mee you Mr. Weasley. My name is Raina Malfoy,' can you believe my shock when I heard that" I looked around and saw that everyone was listening to me "Then I went a floor lower with her to find Narcissa, once she looked at me she told her chld to stay away from me because I was a traitor. Instead of nodding, Raina asks her mother 'Why is it wrong to befriend a muggle? Aren't they living, breathing beings like us?' Narcissa had nothing to say to that so she ignored the question and asked me for help to get to Malfoy's trial. Which reminds me, on the way down to find her mother Raina also asked me what are Death Eaters. I didn't know how to dodge the question so I answered truthfully, all she did was nod and leave it at that. When they were entering the trial room, Raina waited for both her mother and brother to go inside before bowing to me again and thanking me for the help. Before she went in, I stopped her and gave her my card with my number and address on it telling her that is she ever need me to call me or come here because she is always welcomed here. She nodded and went inside."
By the time I finished my story everyone was looking at me shocked except for Ginny since she didn't know what we were talking about. "Blimey, Arthur you don't think Lucius would hurt her one day for her beliefs do you?" Molly asked me and I just shook my head "I don't know Molly but if he ever does and she comes here, these doors will be open for her. She is different than the other Malfoys so lets hope she stays that way." after that, we finished eating and we all went to bed.
