In the splendid manor of the pure-blooded Malfoy family, Anna Malfoy is a shadow that should not exist. She is the illegitimate daughter left behind by the head of the family, Septimus Malfoy, after a brief passion with a Muggle prostitute. She is a secret that was abandoned at the gate of the manor and forged in shame.
From the moment she stepped into the manor, Anna's life was filled with ridicule and hatred.
Selena, the nominal mother, tortured her in every possible way;
Her brother Abracosas, who was three years older than her, was influenced by her mother and regarded her as a stain on the family's glory.
The only father who gave her a glimmer of protection, Septimus, was also bound by the power of the family and his own guilt, and loved silently and distantly.
Later, she was Abrakosas's shadow, the only flaw in his perfect world, an existence that he must trample on but could not drive away.
Intent: a short story
