Chapter 1
The summer holidays with the Weasley's flew past in no time, and as Ginny, Ron and Trinity stepped onto the Hogwarts Express, they prepared themselves for another year at Hogwarts, but for Ron and Trinity - it would be their last.
They clamboured into the first empty carriage they could find and sat down on the cushioned benches, awaiting the Death Eater to come and check their names on the list. When the cloaked man did take their names, he left quickly and once he did, the train began to move.
"Excited, you two?" Ginny asked. "You're going to be living with your mates in the Black Lake dorms this year."
Ron shrugged, "I'm alright with it." He replied, "Lavender isn't all that bad...but I know someone is most definately looking forward to spending some quality time with Malfoy." He smirked and covered himself when the raven haired girl threw a cube of Treacle Fudge at him.
"I'm not!" She exclaimed, her face tomato red.
"Trin," Ginny chuckled. "You were swooning when he sent you a Dancing Daisy for your birthday."
The raven haired Gryffindor huffed and crossed her arms, turning to stare out of the window. Over the course of the summer holidays, her relationship with the Weasley's had grown, and she now thought of them as the parents and siblings that she'd never had. Upon finding out that Trinity was Harry Potter's half-sister, both Arthur and Molly Weasley had swelled with excitement.
"Anything from the trolley dears?" The sweet lady pushed the cart in front of their carriage door.
"No, thank you." Trinity replied, pointing to the homemade treacle fudge Hagrid had sent to her for her birthday.
Ron and Ginny pondered for a second before ordering strawberry Bertie Botts and some jelly snakes. They dug into their sweets and stared out of the window at the change in scenery.
"We should probably change into our robes." Ginny stated, grabbing her changing bag and getting to her feet. Trinity followed Gineva out of the carriage and along the corridor, leaving Ron behind so that he could change in privacy.
Ginny finished changing and left to go back to the carriage so that Trinity could have her cubicle and as the raven haired Gryffindor stepped out of the changing room in her school robes she bumped into someone on her way back.
"Sorry," she murmured, casting her eyes on the floor in front of her.
"I was hoping I'd have more of a greeting than an apology." Butterflies formed in her stomach at the sound of his voice and as Trinity looked up, her emerald green eyes locked onto stormy grey ones. Draco wore his trademark smirk on his handsome face and Trinity mentally swooned. The Slytherin's pale hand gently caressed her face and moved a strand of black hair behind her ear, then he left without another word. Trinity then hurried back to the carriage and shut the door behind her, leaning against it for support.
"It's obvious someone's just ran into their favourite Slytherin." Ginny chuckled, smiling at the dreamy expression on her best friends face as she walked over to the window and took her seat.
"Either that, or we have another Amortentia fiasco." Ron stated with his mouth full of jelly snake. "Hey Trinity, you better be on your best behaviour this year." He swallowed his mouthful, "we don't want anymore unexpected surprises."
"Shut up, Ronald." Ginny laughed. "You've never had a normal year at Hogwarts. You, Harry and Hermione were always off galavanting for either one thing or another. If anything - you should be the one on your best behaviour."
Ron pulled a face at his sister and bit off another jelly snake head, "and you, Gineva - next year, the same goes for you."
"I'm always on my best behaviour, Ronald." The girl leant back in her seat and twirled a ginger curl around her finger. "Especially this year when one of my big brothers won't be at Hogwarts." She sniffed and fake wiped a tear from her eye. "I hope Kim and George have a wonderful time in Romania." She stated, "I'd love to travel."
"But not for three months." Trinity said, "I wouldn't want to be in another country for that long."
"Me neither." Said Ron, "but I would like to travel one day...maybe not with Lavender though."
Ginny chuckled, "I thought you said she wasn't that bad?"
Ron rolled his eyes, "In small doses." He stated, "In very small doses."
They talked about things that happened over the summer for the rest of the trip, and it wasn't long until they reached Hogsmeade and took the carriages to Hogwarts. Upon arrival, the three Gryffindors' left their carriage before following the flow of students into the Great Hall where dinner would be served, the first years would be sorted into their houses and they would receive their new timetables.
They took a seat at the Gryffindor table beside Neville Longbottom, Lavender Brown and Dean Thomas, and after the Dark Lord gave his speech and the first years were sorted, dinner was served.
Ron immediately spooned several helpings of cottage pie and beans onto his plate and began devouring it whilst Trinity and Ginny watched on in shock, had he not eaten at all throughout the summer holidays?
"Slow down Ronald." Ginny scolded, "you'll get indigestion!" The red head shrugged, and polished off his main meal before taking a look at the desserts. He chose a slice of chocolate cake and a few scoops of vanilla ice cream before pouring a good helping of custard over the top.
"Some people would think you haven't eaten in a month." Trinity chuckled. The owls began flying into the hall to deliver the students new timetables, and once again, there was not just Purebred, but Additional Purebred. The raven haired girl wrinkled her nose in confusion, "George and Kim never mentioned this." She stated, pointing to the new lesson on her timetable.
Ginny frowned, "it must be just for your year." She stated, "because I don't have it."
Trinity shrugged, "and we also have more frees...and no Herbology!"
"What?" Neville cried, "no! I love that subject!"
"Too bad." Ron chuckled, swallowing his last mouthful of cake. "I hope I'm going to be the new Quidditch Captain." The sudden change of subject made Trinity grow nervous, she had failed to tell the Weasley's what her Uncle had said to her at the end of last year. She just hoped that Malfoy would be the Slytherin Captain - or at least make the team!
The students were dismissed from the Great Hall and told to go to their dorm rooms for the evening to get some rest and prepare themselves for the first day of lessons in the morning. Trinity and Ron realised that, once again, they would have the same timetable.
Neville, Trinity and Ron said a goodbye to Ginny and Dean before joining the queue of nineth years for the floo powder fireplace to go to their new dorms across the Black Lake. As Trinity neared the fireplace, she began to feel nervous all of a sudden. She stepped into the fireplace with Ron as he grabbed a handful of floo powder, "Black Lake Dormitories." He said loudly and clearly. As he threw the powder on the ground, a burst of green light surrounded them as they were engulfed in flames.
Trinity blinked, and then saw the grey stone walled corridors of the Black Lake Dorms. She stepped out of the fireplace with Ron and looked at the moving portrait's on the walls. The children playing on the swing were watching everyone walk past with wide eyes, and the regal wizards and witches looked at them with curiosity.
"This is me." Ron stated, stopping at the third door on the right. "And there's Lavender." He stated, pointing to the bleach blonde coming out of the fireplace. Lavender skipped out of the fireplace and practically jumped into Ron's arms.
"Ron!" She kissed his cheek and smiled up at him.
"I'll catch up with you tomorrow, Trinity." He stated, opening the door of his room and waving over his shoulder.
Trinity turned around and carried on walking down the corridor, checking the names on each door she went past. She went up two flights of stairs and sighed, at the ball the previous year, her Uncle had said there were ten dorms on each of the seven floors and Trinity hoped that she wasn't in the tenth dorm on the seventh floor because that would be too much of a trip!
Just as the Vanishing Cabinet came into view and Trinity had walked halfway along the corridor, she came to the dorm named: 'Montague and Parkinson', and as she turned to look at the door opposite, her heart stopped beating. 'Malfoy and Riddle', there was no mistaking that.
She stood in between both dorms for a moment, unwilling to process the frightening information and it wasn't long until Draco also found the dorm room.
"What?" He asked. Trinity pointed to the dorm room opposite theirs and Draco's face dropped. He turned around and tried to move the name plaque off the door in an attempt to swap it with another...but there was an enchantment fixing it in place. The two of them stopped what they were doing when they heard Pansy's voice echoing off the walls as she ascended the stairs, they exchanged a glance before running inside and shutting the door behind them.
"This is a nightmare." Draco stated, staring at the back of the door.
"Tell me about it." Trinity stated, walking into the middle of the room and looking around. She saw his broomstick leaning in the corner of the room and she quickly turned to him, "are you Quidditch Captain this year?" She asked.
"No." Draco replied, "why?"
Trinity sighed and dumped herself on the sofa, "because my Uncle said I was only allowed back on the Gryffindor team if you were."
Draco sat on the armchair and watched her, "I wasn't planning on being Captain." He stated, "but I can apply if you want...but it'll cost you." He smirked.
Trinity blushed and looked away, "I'd be grateful." She replied.
"How grateful?" Draco persisted.
Trinity glanced at him and shrugged, "just grateful."
Silence fell over the room, quite an uncomfortable silence. Trinity pulled her timetable out from her robe pocket and examined it. The next morning she had Transfiguration, a free lesson, Charms, Potions and then Divination. Trinity hoped that there would be more to Divination this year than just tea leaves; she wanted to learn about clairvoyancey (mostly because she had it) and reading crystal balls, and not just practical lessons either - she wanted to learn theory too!
Draco sat in the armchair quietly observing his mate, she seemed intrigued in her timetable and Draco knew that he would have to tutor her in Potions again this year (not that he minded at all). Although he didn't seem like it, but Draco was very worried about his grades. It was the final year, and he had big expectations to live up to, for example, his father was working for the ministry and - like father like son - Draco felt as though he needed to become an auror.
"Where's your cat?" Draco asked, just realising the ball of fur wasn't sleeping by the fireplace.
"With Hagrid." Trinity replied, "I'm going to get him back tomorrow." The room fell into silence once again, but this time - it was less awkward.
As time flew by and evening turned into night, Draco closed his Potions textbook and got up to change. As he pushed open the door to the bedroom, Trinity was already changed into a pair of black cotton trousers and a green, long-sleeved top. She was practising spells on the flame of a candle, making it grow taller, thicker, shorter and thinner before finally into the shape of an animal. Trinity stopped what she was doing as Draco stepped into the room and the cat-shaped flame returned to normal.
"I was going to go to bed." Trinity stated, "but I didn't know which side you wanted."
Draco ran a hand through his hair and shrugged, "nearest the door." He replied, heading into the bathroom. Trinity got up from her seat on the stone floor and got under the covers of the bed, closest towards the edge as she could.
Having never shared a bed with anyone before - let alone a boy - Trinity felt very uncomfortable, and knew that she was going to have to act like it didn't bother her. As Draco blew out the candle light and plunged the entire room into darkness, he slid under the covers of the bed.
It was silent, and as Trinity wriggled more into the covers, Draco sighed, "you don't fidget a lot do you?"
Trinity held her breath, "not that I know of." She replied, blushing slightly. Just as Draco had dozed off, the raven haired Gryffindor moved again. He opened his eyes, and when she fidgeted one final time, he pushed his foot through the covers towards the girl, stopping just shy of her lower back.
"Fidget one more time, Riddle." He grumbled into the covers, "and I'll kick you out of bed."
"Sorry." She whispered, trying to lay as still as possible.
Just as Draco retracted his foot and drifted off to sleep again, Trinity tried to move without making a noise. 'For Merlin's sake.' She thought, 'it's either too hot or too cold, and I do not want to spend my first night in these dorms, sleeping on the floor!' Just as that thought came to her, Trinity felt a foot collide with her right side and the stone floor make contact with the rest of her body.
The raven haired girl picked herself off the floor and walked out of the bedroom into the lounge, pulling the blanket off the back of the sofa to throw over her body as she settled down to sleep on the cushions.
Tossing and turning all night was not planned, and as Trinity finally fell asleep, she could see the sun peeping through the trees just outside the window in the lounge. The golden rays shone through the curtains, challenging Trinity to pull them open and welcome the new day. The raven haired girl pulled the blanket over her head and buried her face into her pillow, praying that she would get at least a few hours of sleep. This was going to be a lovely story to tell Ron and Ginny over breakfast!
Trinity tiptoed into the bedroom as not to wake Draco, she picked up her school robes before she made her way into the bathroom and took a quick shower. She then dried her hair and dressed quickly before heading back into the lounge and taking a seat on one of the three sofa's.
Trinity had opened her Charms textbook and read the first few pages before Draco finally graced her with his presence. The Slytherin collapsed into one of the armchairs and glared at the raven haired girl, "I did not get much sleep last night." He growled.
"Try sleeping on the couch." Trinity retorted not taking her eyes off her textbook. "It's not as comfortable as it looks." She checked the time on the clock displayed on the mantle of the fireplace before slotting her book into her bag as she got up and threw it over her shoulder. "I'll see you in Transfiguration."
As she stepped outside her dorm room, Trinity darted down the corridor towards the vanishing cabinet. She had visualised Pansy opening the door across from her as soon as she left the safety of her own room, and Trinity did not want to have a duel on her first day back! Trinity stepped into the cabinet and closed the doors behind her. As soon as she did, she heard a 'swoosh' noise, and opened the doors to find herself in the library.
"Morning, Trin!" Ginny called from the table in front of the blue stained glass butterflies. "How was your first night in the dorms?"
Trinity made her way towards the red head and took a seat in the chair next to her, "I didn't get any sleep last night." Trinity stated, "I spent the night on the sofa."
Ginny chuckled, "What happened?" She asked kindly.
"I was fidgiting, and Malfoy kicked me out of bed." Trinity admitted, blushing slightly. "Physically."
Another 'swoosh' sound from the vanishing cabinet was audible even over Ginny's laughter. Ron walked over towards the two girls and ran a hand through his hair. "Morning." He grunted.
"You don't look happy." Ginny informed her brother. "Infact...you look worse than, Trin. Did you spend the night on the sofa?" She chuckled.
"Worse." Ron stated, running a hand through his messy red hair before running it down his pale face. "I was on the floor."
Both girls started to laugh, "you were kicked out of bed for fidgeting?" Trinity asked.
He shook his head, "nope." He collapsed into the chair beside his sister, "I was jinxed out of bed for snoring."
As Madam Pince entered the library and told the girls of for laughing loudly, the three Gryffindors got up and made their way towards the Great Hall for breakfast, passing many of the Hogwarts ghosts as they followed the flow of other students. The new first years were looking around the castle with wide, wondrous eyes; pointing out new fascinating things to their friends so they'd remember their way to and from the Great Hall.
Ron, Ginny and Trinity sat down on the bench and helped themselves to bacon, sausages, eggs, toast, and plenty more breakfast foods. Trinity poured herself a small glass of pumpkin and orange juice before pulling out her timetable and examining it with Ron. Thankfully, they had the same timetable together again this year, and plenty of frees where they could help each other with their homework.
As breakfast came to a rather abrupt end thanks to a first year trying to levitate his glass of pumpkin juice, the Weasley's and Trinity headed to their first lessons of the day; for Ginny it was Double Dark Arts, but for Trinity and Ron, it was Transfiguration.
