Floating head
[If you haven't read the story 'Snape's Secret' I wrote then I would really recommend you read it because it links to this story]
A month had passed since Emily and Rachel had found out that the famous Harry Potter was their half brother.
Emily had grown to except this fact and had gotten pretty close to Harry seeing as though they were in the same year and both in Gryffindor.
However Emily's twin had done quite the opposite. She hated Harry, and refused to get to know him. She also hated the fact Emily was getting horribly close with him.
Rachel sat at the Slytherin, sulking. Sulking was what she tended to do now. She twirled the end of her green and silver tie round and round her little finger. Not bothering to touch the steaming hot roast dinner that was neatly presented in front of her.
Students were still entering the Great hall as she sat there. She noticed the gleam of Draco Malfoy's slivery blond hair out of the corner of her eye. She detested him since him and his father had locked herself, Emily and their friends Amy and Sophie in their basement that they had turned into a cell.
Her eyes suddenly pricked up at the sound of her twin and her best friend's voices.
She watched as they walked on past her table.
Recently she had isolated herself from the group more, being told that Harry Potter was your half brother wasn't something Rachel wanted to hear. To everyone that knew, she was being stubborn and unreasonable. And what was worse was that she was being compared to her older twin. She was perfect in the eyes of almost everyone, and then there was her, the troublesome, annoying and stubborn twin. For once she wanted to be the perfect one.
She noticed as the three of them noticed her looking and they all gave her a small sympathetic smile.
However she didn't notice Draco Malfoy had taken a seat next to her.
He gave a slight cough and Rachel then stopped staring at her friends and turned to look at the boy next to her.
She stood up planning to leave the hall, seeing as though she wasn't hungry anyway, but Draco tugged her arm and she fell back on the seat again.
Draco opened his mouth to speak.
"I don't want to hear what you have to say, now remove your hand from my arm before I cast a spell that will make it drop off" Rachel said before he could he speak.
Draco quickly dropped his hand to his side.
Rachel stood up once more and walked out the great hall. She turned to the right as she headed towards the Slytherin common room when she saw a little head poking out from one of the classroom doors.
She stopped to look at the little head but it had already gone, she walked over towards where she thought she saw the head. She turned to the right where the classroom door was shut. She peered inside the room but saw nothing.
She heard footsteps behind her; she turned and saw Amy standing there.
"Rach, what's up?" Amy asked.
"Oh Draco was annoying me. So I left, and I wasn't hungry anyway" Rachel explained.
"Oh I see what you doing standing here?" Amy frowned at her.
"I thought I saw something but obviously not" Rachel replied peeking into the classroom again but still nothing was there.
"I see..." Amy said a look of concern on her face.
"Where's Em?" Rachel asked.
Amy paused, as if she was trying to think of an excuse.
"She's with Harry isn't she?" Rachel sighed.
"She was when I came out" Amy muttered. She knew how much Rachel disliked Harry and didn't want to put her friend in an even worse mood.
"Rachel?" A voice shouted from down the corridor.
Rachel groaned under her breath.
She saw Draco Malfoy pacing down the corridor.
"What do you want? I said I don't want to hear what you've got to say" Rachel snapped.
"Just listen to me...please" Draco said as he approached the two girls.
"Sod off Malfoy" Amy snarled.
"I wasn't speaking to you was I" Draco snarled back.
"Oh put a broom in it" Amy said kneeing Draco.
Draco slid to the floor in pain.
"Nice shot" Rachel laughed.
"Thanks" Amy grinned.
"I'm going back to the common room, see you in a bit" Rachel said as she carried on walking.
"Okay" Amy chirped and went off back towards the great hall.
Just as Rachel was turning the corner she looked back at Draco and she could have sworn she had seen a head popping out of the classroom again.
