You Let Her Run Our House.
So I remembered I made a post about Darla as a little kid but I didn't do ANYTHING for callidora.

Narcissa was out for the day buying clothes for their four year old, Draco while Lucius stayed home with a cranky almost seven year old Callidora. She wasn't happy her new brother was getting new clothes and she wasn't. Usually they'd all go out or it would be the children and just Narcissa, but Draco always got too fussy before they could get his measurements because Callidora wanted to look at ten different things.
"I want to go too! I'm the oldest! I'm more important!" She tugged on her father's sleeve, trying to pull him to the door.
"Callidora, you don't wear suits. You're a girl. Your mother is bringing Draco to get a suit." Lucius explained, rubbing his temples tiredly.
"I can wear a suit!" The young girl insisted, crossing her arms. "I bet I'd look better than him anyway..."
"You can go next time. Now how about you go read a book from the library or play with your tea set." He responded, giving her a suggestion.
Callidora shook her head. "All the books are boring and I want a new tea set! That was a present from last year! I want the Royal Albert tea set."
"You don't even know what that means for Merlin's sake!" He stared down at his daughter in utter shock.
"I'm not a classless peasant, I know what fine china is!" She glared up at her father. "I'm not stupid like Draco!"
"If I buy you the set will you stop begging to go?" Lucius sighed, giving in like usual.
"I'll behave!" Callidora smiled up at him, crossing her fingers behind her back.
Narcissa wasn't happy when she came home and saw their daughter with two new dresses, a tea set, and a pearl necklace. Thankfully their daughter did keep her promise, at least for the rest of the day until bedtime. Her husband gave a shrug before continuing to read the Daily Prophet in his leather armchair.

Later in their bed, Lucius was holding his wife's hand. He listened to her complaints about Draco being fussy at the tailor's and not finding the proper fabric. When she was done, he told her all about how Callidora acted the entire time they were gone.
"She's horrible! Only acted well when I bought her that stuff! I don't know how she got like that. I thought we taught her to always be a good child. None of that screaming and throwing tantrums." Lucius waved his hand, as if he wasn't the sole reason she behaved like that.
"That's what happens when you let our seven year old run the house like she pays the bills. I say no to something, she cries and you run off to sign the check." Narcissa didn't look impressed at his annoyance. "It was you and your father who made her that way. I know how to say no to her."
He looked shocked at her brutal honesty. Lucius put a hand on his chest, "It is not my fault. I would have never taught my children to be like that. She just happens to be a very convincing seven year old."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." She shook her head, waving her wand silently to turn off the lamp. "Goodnight, my love."
"Goodnight, Cissa." He replied quietly, holding onto her in his sleep.

Made this short so it wouldn't get sent to the Drafts of Doom (D.O.D) and never be seen again. You will never catch me believing dracos parents were abusive.
