Me and My Family
4/15/2010

By Tyl Malfoy

My name is Tyl Lucius Malfoy.  I'm 7.  My hair is blonde and my eyes are blue like my Grandmother.  My hair is not as dark as it looks here. I'm a pure-blooded wizard.  Both my father's and my mother's bloodlines go back more than 600 years.  I'm the oldest child in my family, that makes me the heir.  Everyone thinks it's best to be the oldest but it's just O.K.  Daddy and Grandfather tell me all the time being the heir brings lots of responsibilities.  For all my life, it's my job to look out for my brothers and sisters, and help daddy and mummy keep them safe.  I don't get to order them around, just lead them in the right direction.   They're always reminding me to be a good example.  Which means I need to be a good boy, and not be naughty.  I don't think Daddy knows how hard that is.  The funnest things to do are naughty.  

I go to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim Primary it's a private wizarding school.  I'm in the 1st grade.  I've been reading and writing since I was 4 1/2.  Arithmetic is my best subject.  All good potion masters are good in arithmetic.  I am a good student but I would rather be at home playing then go to school.  I'm glad school is only until 2:30 because I miss Orion.


This is a picture of my home, Malfoy Manor.  There are four wings in the Manor.  They are like four different houses.  My parents, brothers, sisters, and myself live in the West wing of the Manor.  My Dad's parents live in the South Wing of the Manor.  

We have stables at the manor too.  Grandfather, Grandmother, Dad, and Mum have always had their own horses.  There are a couple extra horses for guest to ride, then there are four ponies to ride.  Everyone in my family ride horses.  Grandfather takes us most of the time but Dad and Mum take us too.  By us I mean my brothers, my sisters are babies and can't do lots of things.  Orion and Pyxis ride ponies.  Lynx rides on Grandfather's or Daddy's horse with him.  I ride my own horse now.

This is my horse Ajax.  Grandfather gave him to me for my birthday.  I really like him.  His favorite food are apples.  But he likes sugar cubes and carrots too.  Those foods are treats for him.  He mostly eats oats and other grains.  It's more fun riding now that I have my own horse.  I make sure that I go to the stables everyday to say hi, to Ajax.  The house elves make sure that he's feed and his stable is clean.  But I go to make sure they are doing a good job with my horse.  He's my second favorite animal.
On the left is my stuffed puppy Hygeia.  Uncle Greg gave her to me when I was 4.  I was really sick for a long time.  He said the Hygeia would help me get better, and she did.  I used to pretend that she was real.  I took her with me everywhere I went.  She is the only stuffed animal in my bedroom.  

On the right is my real puppy.  Her name is Hygeia too.  She is the greatest animal in the world.  Daddy got her for me for Easter.  She loves going in the creek, swaps, and lake.  She can be real quiet too.  Daddy said I have to take care of her.  I make sure she has water and food.  Daddy is helping me house train her.  

When I go to school, I have Grandmother watch her for me.  Orion is at school with me, Pyxis and Lynx are too young, and Mummy is to busy with my sisters.  

 

This is my broom.  It's a junior Cleansweep.  I got it when I was 4.  I can fly it by myself as long as a stay in the back playground and I have to have a house elf with me.  

Hygeia is funny when I fly.  She runs in circles under me.  Some times she bites on the bottom of my broom.  She chewed on the handle one time when I left it out.  She's a puppy, puppy's chew on things.

 

My Brothers and Sisters

   

These are pictures of my brothers and sisters. 

Orion is 6 and he's more then my brother, he's my mate.  We do almost everything together.  We fly our brooms every day it's nice out.  He has a junior Cleansweep too.  He can catch a quaffle good on the ground but he can't do it on his broom.

Pyxis is 4.  He likes to fly, but he does like to play in the mud, creek, or lake.  Orion, Pyxis, and I like to make potions.  Pyxis can always talk Grandfather into taking use to his potions lab.

Lynx is 2. He goes to the office with Dad once or twice a week.  When I don't have school, Orion and I owl Lynx at dad's office and arrange a business lunch.  I like Malfoy men's business lunches.  You have to wear dress robes to a business lunch.

Carina and Cassie are two months old.  They like to play peek-a-boo, now.  They're the first girls born to a Malfoy in a long, long, long time.  Girls are rare in both my parents families.  Mummy was the only girl out of 7 children.  Grandma and Grandpa have 33 grandsons but only 3 granddaughters.

          

These are pictures of our back playground.  I wanted the tree house higher in the tree but Mummy and Grandmother said it was high enough.  I wish witches would just stay away when us wizards are building things.   Daddy said when I'm 10, him, Orion and me can build a really high tree house with no ladder in the woods. 

My Dad and Mum

       
      

These are pictures of my parents.  My mummy isn't happy in the one with Uncle Greg because, Uncle Ron said "Your dad had him spying on her."  Dad says that isn't true.  "There was a war going on.  Greg was looking after her." 

My parents are very busy people.  Dad works at Malfoy International, and Mum has Tea parties and other social events to plan.  They have tons of parties to go to.  

Dad plays in a Quidditch league once a week, April thru October.  He's the seeker.  Mum flies almost as good as Dad.  When she's not pregnant, she is one of the chasers.

My Mum's great.  She hugs us when we need a hug.  She plays games with us, reads to us, and all those mum things.  I only wish, she wasn't so good at being a mum.  It wouldn't hurt if once in awhile she'd forgot to tell Dad when I was bad.

My Dad works a little to much but he is a great dad.  He always saves at least one day a week for us kids.  He takes us flying when he can.  He plays with us in the playroom.  He lets us stay up late when the quidditch game runs late.  

He's always thinking of us too.  When he's home, he personally puts a warming charm on our towel and bath robe right before we get out of the bath.  If he's not home, he makes sure a house elf does it. 

Grandpa & Grandma Weasley


 

These are my mum's parents.  They live in Otter St. Catchpole.
  
This is their house.  They call it the Burrow.  Soon, I'll be able to floo over and visit anytime I like.  We go over there every Thursday right after school.  Mum has tea with Grandma and we play in the family room.

Grandpa works for the Ministry of Magic.  So he's not there on Thursday.  He likes to go to the creek with me and Orion and catch tadpoles and other things.  We can't go to the creek or in Grandpa's shed, which has cool muggle things in it, when he's not home.  Grandma will take her wand to your bottom if you do.

I don't misbehave at Grandma's.  I've heard her tell off my uncles too many times.  Uncle Fred says that her wand hurts more the Grandpa belt.  I'm not silly enough to do anything to find out.  Besides daddy would punish me too, for being bad for Grandma and Grandpa.

Grandma is always cooking something.  She makes the best cookies.

My mum's family meets at the Burrow once a month.  

Grandfather & Grandmother  Malfoy

These are my dad's parents.  They live in the South Wing of the Manor.  

Grandfather has a great potions lab.  Orion, Pyxis, and I make potions with him all the time.  He takes us horseback riding a lot too.  He likes riding horses more than flying brooms, but he's a great flier too.  He got me a special saddle bag.  Hygeia fits in it, so I can take her riding.  Grandfather said by the time she's too big for the bag, she'll be able to keep up with our horses on her own.   

Grandfather works at Malfoy International with my Dad.  I've worked in his office before.

Grandmother is the best with healing charms.  Orion and I keep her wand busy according to Grandfather.  She's always trying to make Orion, Lynx, and I into gentlemen.  Pyxis was born a gentleman.
She has tea parties all the time.  We have to go and be introduced.  I've got to put on dress robes to meet the ladies, but Grandmother always makes sure that there are chocolate covered strawberries for me.

Uncle Severus


     

This is my Uncle Severus.  He is my dad's godfather.  He saved my dad's, grandmother's, and grandfather's lives during the war.   My mummy said that he saved my life too.  I don't know how, mum cries when she starts to talk about when I was sick.  I'll have to remember to ask Daddy.  

He and Daddy duel alike see look at the pictures.

He visits Grandfather a lot in the summer.  We've made potions with him too.  He has the biggest potions lab at Hogwarts.  He is the potions teacher there, and the head of Slytherin House.  I'm going to be in his house in 4 years.  

If I misbehave when he's around he jokes with me and says, "Are you quite sure you want to be in Slytherin house?"

Uncle Bill & Aunt Fleur


  
  

These are my cousins, Brian(10), Bennet(8), Huntter(8), Reed(3), and Willie(1).

Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur live in London.  Brian, Bennet and Huntter go to the same school as me and Orion.

Uncle Bill has an important job at Gringotts.  I know that because I've seen him at important meetings with Daddy, Grandfather, Mr. Parkinson, Uncle Greg, and Uncle Blaise.  He goes to some of the social parties that Dad and Mummy go to also.

Aunt Fleur comes to most of Grandmothers tea parties too.  She brings her boys with her.  They come in dress robes, but they bring play clothes, so we can play outside after the party.  

Brian spends most of his time at the Manor in the library.  He likes to read.  Bennet and Huntter have junior Cleansweeps, they like to fly with us.  Reed goes tadpoling with us.  Willie's just a baby.

Uncle Charlie & Aunt Anne


  
  

These are my cousins;  Andrew(10), Jacob(8), Henry(8), Matthew(4), Lesley(2), and Leo (3 month).

The boy with the glasses is Uncle Harry's son James.  

Uncle Charlie's family lives in Romania.  

He works with Dragons.  Aunt Anne flies and she likes to play in the creek with us.  She's lot of fun.  It's easy to behave at their house because there's always something to do. 

Uncle Charlie got us all waders, like the ones on the side, last time we were visiting.  He took us in lots of different swaps, and told us about all the animals we found. 

Mum, Grandma, and Grandmother didn't like the new waders.  I just had wader boots before and they only come up to my knees.   Mum's rule was I couldn't go in the creek or lake over my waders.  Now Mum's rule is I can't go over my knee.  

Uncle Percy & Aunt Penny


   

These are my cousins; Peter(8), Parker(2), Prescot(2), and Paul (1 month).  

Uncle Percy lives in Cambridge.  Peter goes to my school also.  He's in the same class as Bennet and Huntter.  They play together all the time.  Orion and I play with them sometimes.  

Peter can fly one handed better than any of us, and he's only been riding one year.  He's going to be a super chaser.  That's really sad because he's likely to be a Gyffindor.  My dad, Uncle Ron, and Uncle Harry got Peter his first quidditch gear and broom.  Aunt Penny didn't want him to have one and Uncle Percy wanted him to focus on studying.

Uncle Percy is the head of some important office in the Ministry of Magic.  I know because he's invited to more Ministry and Social parties than Grandpa, Uncle Ron, and Uncle Harry.  

Aunt Penny comes to a couple of Grandmother's tea parties.  Not as many as Aunt Fleur.  So, I think that Uncle Bill's job at Gringotts is more important than Uncle Percy's job at the Ministry. 

Uncle George and Aunt Katie


      
 

Funny things are always happening at Uncle George's house.  Landon turned his hair blue.

These are my cousins; Dalton(9), Lee(7), Landon(5), Karl(5), Keenan(3), and Ethan (1).  

Uncle George lives in London.  He runs Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley.

Dalton, Lee, Landon, and Karl go to my school.  Lee is in my class.  We play together a lot.  

Lee, Orion, Bennet, and Huntter look a lot a like.  Many people think that they are brothers.

Uncle Fred & Aunt Sara

 

Strange things can happen at Uncle Fred's too. 

These are my cousin's Danny(8), Edward(6), Maxwell(4), Melborn(2), and the baby is Tad (6 months).

Uncle Fred is the only one of Grandma children who doesn't have  twins.  

Grandma says it's a good thing, because Edward is more of a handful then both Uncle George and Fred together.  Eddy is the funniest kid.  He makes us laugh all the time.

Danny goes to Hogmeade Public School.  He's the smartest in his class.  He acts like Uncle Percy.  

Uncle Percy's son Peter was born 2 days after Danny.  Grandpa jokes and says that he thinks that Peter and Danny get switched when they were both at the Burrow when they were babies.  Grandma and Aunt Penny yell at him when he says it.  But Uncle Fred and Aunt Sara laugh.  I think they laugh because Danny's uses his smarts to help his dad make joke products.

Uncle Fred lives in Hogmeade.  He runs the Hogmeade's Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

 

Uncle Ron & Aunt Hermione

 
       

These are my cousin's; H.R. "Harry Ronald"(9), Devin (4), Lizzy (3), Carl(1), and Cam(1).

Uncle Ron lives in Manchester.  Aunt Hermione is my mum's best friend, we see her lots of times.  Dad and Uncle Ron act like they don't like each other.  They're so  funny when the Canons are playing the Falcons. 
 

When they are mad at each other Uncle Ron calls my dad, "Ferret" and my dad calls Uncle Ron, "Weasel".  I'm sure Dad calls Uncle Ron "Weasel" because of his last name.  I've heard Dad tease Mum and say she used to be a "she-weasel".  No one will tell me why Uncle Ron calls my dad "Ferret".  

On the top is a ferret, on the bottom is a weasel, I think they look a lot a like.  According to the encyclopedia, weasels and ferrets are cousins in the animal world.  When I told my Dad and Uncle Ron that bit of information, they stopped calling each other those names for a time.     

Uncle Ron is an Auror. Aunt Hermione is muggle born, so they have tons of muggle things in their house.  H.R. goes to a muggle school. 

Lizzy was the first Weasley girl born this generation.  She's still the only Weasley girl, because my sisters are Malfoys. 

Uncle Greg & Aunt Beth

 

Mr. and Mrs. Goyle aren't really my Aunt and Uncle.  Uncle Greg is my dad's best mate.  He is my godfather.  He and Aunt Beth are Pyxis godparents.

Their son is named Cruz(2) and Aunt Beth is due to have her next baby in two months.

Uncle Greg and Daddy are business partners.  They own many fitness centers.  They have wizard ones and muggle ones.  Uncle Greg runs them.   

Mum goes to the Diagon Alley one three times a week.  It makes her tummy flat again after having babies.  I don't know why she bothers.  I think Daddy likes her tummy big.  Cause as soon as she gets it flat, he puts another baby in it.

Uncle Greg lives in Whitshire too.  The Goyle Manor grounds touch Malfoy Manor grounds, but the grounds are so large that you can't see the houses and it's to far to walk. Orion and I flew over there on our brooms once.  

I thought Uncle Greg was my best mate until that day.  He wasn't happy to see me, he was mad.  He flooed my Daddy.  Me and Orion got sore bottoms causes he told on us.

He's still my favorite adult that I'm not related too.  I just reminder not to do bad things around him, causes he'll tell.  When my daddy's out of town for work, Uncle Greg will take me flying.  

He has a box at the Falcons stadium, he takes us there all the time. I sit on one side of him and Cruz sits on the other. I'm teaching Cruz how to be a big brother now.  Uncle Greg said I'm the best big brother he knows, so he wanted my to teach Cruz.  

I'm teaching him all the ways to play peek-a-boo.  And how to be gentle when touching a baby.

 

Uncle Harry & Aunt Kristy

 

Mr. & Mrs. Potter aren't really my Aunt and Uncle but we call them that.  They are my sisters' godparents.  Uncle Harry is Uncle Ron's best mate.  Grandpa and Grandma look at him like another son. 

There children are James(7), then Benny(4) has the wand.  R.J. "Ronald Joshua"(2) is on the blanket holding Kayle (7 months).

Uncle Harry is an Auror too. 

He lives next door to Uncle Ron in Manchester.  Aunt Kristy is a witch from America. Both of them grow-up in muggle homes.   Their house is half muggle and half wizard.  

James goes to the same muggle school as H.R.  I wish he went to this school.  He's Orion and my's best mate.  We ride bikes, roller blade, and play video games at his house.  He has a comet junior too.  He comes to the Manor a couple times a week and flies with us.  James' junior comet is below.

Many times when Aunt Hermione comes to the Manor she brings James.  Sometimes I fight with James about who's daddy is the best flier.  They are both really good.  

Uncle Harry plays in the same quidditch league as Daddy.  Uncle Harry, Uncle Ron, Uncle Fred, Uncle George, and some other Gyffindors that they want to school with are on they team.

Daddy's team has Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Greg, Uncle Blaise, Uncle Seamus, Uncle Bill, and Mr. Crabbe.

Uncle Blaise & Aunt Pansy

 

Mr. and Mrs. Zabini aren't really my Aunt and Uncle either.  Uncle Blaise and Aunt Pansy have been great friends of my dad's for years.  Aunt Pansy is my godmother.  She and Uncle Blaise are my brother Lynx's godparents.  Their children are Alexander(4) and Rose(2).

We see Uncle Blaise and Aunt Pansy once a week or more.  They travel in the same social circle as Daddy and Mummy.  

Uncle Blaise is an investment something.  He also works at Parkinson Holdings. 

Aunt Pansy comes to Grandmother's and Mum's Tea Parties plus she has her own.

Alexander is my brother Pyxis' best mate.  They have dance and piano lessons together.  Lynx's goes to dance and piano lessons with Rose.  Rose thinks she is going to marry Lynx.

Uncle Seamus & Aunt Megan

 

Mr. and Mrs. Finnigan aren't really my Aunt and Uncle either.  Uncle Seamus and my dad were partners in the war.  Aunt Megan has been a very good friend of mum's since school.  They are my brother Orion's godparents.

Their children are; Breandan(8), Galvin(6), Torin(5), Shannon(3),   Miles(2), and Darius (3 months).

I don't know what Uncle Seamus does for work.

Uncle Seamus lives in Ireland.  They stay at the Manor for the weekend once a month.  I wish they lived closer.  Breandan and Galvin are great to play with and Lynx really like to play with Miles.   

When the twins were born Uncle Seamus told Mum, "Why'd you have to go and have twins, Ginny?  Now, I don't have more kids than Malfoy!"
