(Continuation of the stories 'Snape's Secret and 'Secrets Revealed')
It had been one and a half years since Amy and Rachel had been forced onto the dark side. The dark marks on their arms were painful reminders at just how cruel the world can be.
Their lives had changed dramatically over the years, especially for Rachel.
Since the day at Niall's house she had been kicked out of her own home by her father, Severus Snape, much to her twin sister, Emily's dismay. She had been replaced by her half brother, Harry Potter, who had settled in nicely at the Snape house hold and was now living happily in her room.
If that wasn't enough heartbreak for Rachel, she had given birth to Draco Malfoy's son who they named Blake.
Rachel was currently living with one of her closest friends, Amy. Who had also been made a death eater.
It had been a difficult year for Amy as well, when she found out her boyfriend, Niall had handed herself, Draco and Rachel to the death eaters, she immediately ditched him.
However life at Hogwarts was harder than ever for the two girls, Amy who had previously been Ravenclaw, had, for the first time in a decade, been switched houses to Slytherin. As professor Flitwick didn't want a death eater in his house.
But some things had changed for the better; Niall had been removed from Hogwarts. And the students were unaware that any death eaters were among them.
Muggle Studies
"Can you all please calm down!" Professor Burbage shouted over the noise of the classroom.
Rachel was sat next to Draco and behind them sat Amy and Goyle. Across the room however, Hermione, Ron, Harry and Emily were looking less than happy and were shouting with the rest of the class at the professor.
"WE DON'T WANT TO GO WITH THEM" a Gryffindor boy at the back of the class yelled pointing at the Slytherin's on the other side of the room.
"AND YOU THINK WE WANT TO GO WITH YOU. BLOODY IDIOTS" a Slytherin girl shouted back at the boy.
"ENOUGH!" Professor Burbage yelled from the front of the class.
It took a few attempts to calm the class down but finally everyone was quiet.
"I understand the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin, but this is for your benefit. If you want to pass muggle studies then you will need to go on this trip" Professor Burbage explained.
There was an uproar of shouts again.
"I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DO MUGGLE STUDIES" Draco shouted slamming a fist on the table.
"NO ONE EVEN GOT TO CHOOSE IF THEY WANTED TO DO THIS STUPID SUBJECT" Crabbe boomed from behind Goyle and Amy's heads.
"IT'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED, YOUR ALL GOING ON THE TRIP" Professor Burbage called out over the yells.
There were again shouts of disagreements.
"END OF CLASS" Professor Burbage shouted and walked out the room.
"I can't believe they want us to go camping. CAMPING! It's a joke" Draco spat as he walked out the door steering Rachel towards the Great Hall for lunch.
"It might be alright" Rachel shrugged.
Draco just let out a harsh 'HA'.
"Rach, can you believe we're going camping?" Amy was bouncing with enjoy and grabbing her shoulder.
"We don't even know where we're camping out yet. It might be someone really horrible" Rachel replied.
"I hope it's not too far away, otherwise I get sick" Pansy Parkinson chimed in.
Rachel groaned.
She didn't like Pansy and she knew Pansy didn't like her. Yet Pansy was determined to annoy Rachel as much as possible, usually but flirting with Draco.
"Draco who will you be sharing a tent with?" Pansy asked, leaning towards Draco and smiling.
"Rachel I guess" Draco replied sharply.
Pansy looked hurt and walked off.
"Well that is totally out of the question" a voice said from behind them.
They turned round to see Hermione, Emily, Harry and Ron.
"What are you talking about mudblood?" Draco snarled.
"Watch it Malfoy" Ron scowled.
"I mean" Hermione replied "boys and girls are going too separated of course"
"Well that's stupid. I can share with who I want to share with" Draco said.
Hermione, Ron and Harry just snarled and picked up the pace, which left Emily and the Slytherin's.
There was still some awkwardness between Emily and Rachel, even though they were twins they felt more apart than ever over the last couple of months.
"Who are you sharing with then?" Rachel asked Emily trying hard to seem happy.
"Oh...probably Hermione and Ginny" Emily replied staring hard at the floor.
Rachel nodded slowly.
"So...urm, how's Blake?" Emily muttered.
Draco inhaled sharply and glared at Emily, although she wasn't looking.
Rachel shook her head again and sniffed.
"Yeah, he's doing alright...thanks" Rachel answered.
Emily smiled for a second then went back to looking at the floor.
"See you in the Great Hall Rach" Amy said deciding that now might be a good time for Emily and Rachel to speak on their own. She pushed Draco forward and steered him towards the hall.
"Do you think dad will ever agree to meet him?" Rachel asked Emily suddenly.
Emily looked at Rachel and blinked. Her eyes widened for a second then she smiled sadly.
"Do you want the truth?" Emily asked.
"Of course" Rachel said.
"Then, from my point of view I don't think it will be anytime soon, if ever" Emily said slowing her pace.
Rachel remained silent.
