༺━━━━༻✧༺━━━━༻
Seraphine Winters, the daughter of Valerian and Celestia Winters, is known to be one of the highest ranking pureblood daughters in all of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.
Everyone automatically makes her out to be a raging bitch. A pureblood supremacist doomed to follow in her family's footsteps, someone who has been raised to have an obsession with the Dark Lord, and someone who believes she is above everyone.
Only one of those are true.
Seraphine is a raging bitch, no doubt about it. Her father is mostly busy with work and therefore oblivious to his own daughter half of the time, and her mother... well, her mother left. She didn't actually want to be a mother, so when Seraphine was only a year old, Celestia fled in the middle of the night, leaving Valerian to raise Seraphine as a single father.
He didn't really raise her, mind you, Seraphine grew up being cared for by the house-elves. Pinky was the one she adored most. Pinky is the house-elf who didn't treat Seraphine as just her master's daughter, she treated the little girl as a friend, but also as someone who deserves to know what real love feels like from a present parent, even if Pinky wasn't actually her mother.
Seraphine grew up learning things most pureblood children didn't know. How to cook, how to sew, how to do her hair properly, but her favourite thing she learnt was how to read a room. By age seven, Seraphine could decipher who wanted to leave, who thinks a certain person is being an arsehole, who is making heart-eyes at another, and who is fighting the urge to down three bottles of alcohol in one go. It came quite in handy.
Though despite all of it, Seraphine still grew up to be snarky, and you can blame Draco Malfoy for that. Draco Malfoy is the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, who happen to be well acquainted with her family. Lucius and Valerian work in the Ministry together, and Narcissa and Celestia used to be best friends before Celestia decided she couldn't handle the idea of her own child. That forced Seraphine to get used to the idea of being around Draco.
Her and Draco aren't actually enemies, she quite likes the boy and vice versa. One might say they were best friends, and yes, maybe they were something of the sort. Seraphine went wherever Draco went, Draco went wherever Seraphine went, but they always had each others backs. If Lucius had been a little too harsh when scolding Draco, Seraphine would sit with him underneath the willow tree in the Malfoy gardens—sometimes he'd talk, other times it would just be a comfortable silence, and once or twice, Draco would allow himself to cry silently in her arms.
Then, at eleven years old, they both got their Hogwarts acceptance letters. They went to Diagon Alley together, expressed their excitement about starting the infamous magic school, only to drift apart when they actually started.
They both got into Slytherin, that wasn't the problem, but Draco drifted from Seraphine to spend his time with Crabbe and Goyle, and Seraphine the same with her new best friend, Florence Selwyn.
First and second year flew past, and it was third year Seraphine really started her rebellion. Though nothing could've prepared her for the fact that her rebellion drew the attention of her former closest friend.
