I own nothing but the plot
You Know You Love Me
Chapter 1
Brooke was sitting in the spacious black escalade that her father had gotten for her and her cousin. She was starring out the window when a very nasty smell permeated her nostrils. It was so bad it made her gag and her eyes water.
"Oh my god what is that smell?!? I can't breathe" exclaimed Brooke as she hastily opened the window. She turned and looked over to her cousin and saw him smirking slightly. "Oh my fucking god you farted Draco, didn't you?! You smell like nasty ass!"
"It seemed too tense in here and besides its natural everyone does it or should," said Draco shrugging.
"Fine if it's natural then go outside and do it in nature, FAR away from me so I don't have to smell it. God you are such an idiot, I can't believe I'm related to you."
"Well sadly for you we are related. So speaking of that I was thinking maybe we shouldn't tell people at Hogwarts that we are cousins. They might get the wrong idea about you."
"Oh I see how it is. You don't want people to know we are related because you are embarrassed by me."
"It's not that, Brooke you are better than me and I don't think you want a bad rep because of me okay? And besides our fathers agreed that we should keep it a secret, and we both know what they say goes."
"I was just yanking your chain. I could careless, and like you said its better for my rep that we aren't cousins." said Brooke nudging Draco.
"Okay, so it's agreed. We won't tell people we are cousins, but we have to be friends. We can't not talk, okay how does that sound?"
"Okay cousins no, friends yes. Hahaha this is so funny." Brooke couldn't believe it. She was going to a new school with all new people, and with none other than her cousin. She had always known she was a witch, but was home schooled by her mother, Maggie. Maggie never wanted for Brooke to be home schooled but she felt she had no choice because she didn't want her daughter to become like her uncle when he went to school at Hogwarts.
Maggie herself went to Hogwarts, which was where she met Brooke's father and fell madly in love with him. They both were in Slytherin along with Maggie's younger brother Lucius and both her husband and her brother had tried to persuade her to send Brooke to Hogwarts but she would not relent.
The reason Brooke was on her way to Hogwarts now was because soon after her 'term' of school finished for the year her mother was killed. Even after almost three months Brooke still couldn't believe it. This year was going to be different; she was actually going to school with people, and more important with boys. Brooke couldn't wait.
For the rest of the car ride Brooke starred out the window thinking of what the next year would be like.
…
"Okay is everything in the car? We didn't leave anything inside did we? Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny you all have everything you need right?" asked Mrs. Weasley who, as always, was worried they might leave something behind.
"No mum everything is in the car. We are all ready to go," said Ron who was impatient to leave.
"Alright everyone in the car. Come on you are going to be late."
"Oh come on mum you know it takes like ten minutes to get there in this car." said Ginny who was being pushed against the door.
After they were all in, the cars inside changed so they could all fit comfortable. As Ginny had said the car ride there was a short one. They all said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley they entered platform 9 ¾.
"Ron and Ginny you two are supposed to go to the prefects compartment and wait for the meeting to begin. I have to meet the new student and then I will be there. I wonder who the other head is? Harry, maybe I will see you on the train if the meeting ends shortly," said Hermione as she went to meet the new student.
"Okay bye guys, I have to go find a compartment to sit in. come find me when you are done," said Harry waving as he left his friends.
…
Hermione walked to the first compartment where she was supposed to meet the new student. She was a little anxious about meeting then because she didn't know what to expect. As Hermione came to the door she straightened her uniform because she is a perfectionist then opened the compartment door.
Brooke looked up from her magazine and saw a girl with bushy brown hair. Brooke looked her up and down and noticed that her Hogwarts uniform was immaculate. 'Wow' thought Brooke 'I really hope the dress code isn't that strict or I will be screwed.'
Hermione looked at the girl sitting in the compartment she had just walked into. She was tall with long dirty blonde hair that hung about midway down her back. She wasn't that skinny but definitely not fat, and her complexion was what you could call peaches and cream, not tan but not really that pale either. Hermione noticed she had blue-green eyes that reminded her of someone but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hi I'm Hermione Granger. Welcome to Hogwarts," she said.
"Hi, Brooke Dawson," the girls shook hands then sat down.
"So," started Hermione "Where did you go before you decided to come to Hogwarts?"
"Oh, I was home schooled by my mother," Brooke stated nonchalantly.
"Really," Hermione's face lit up, "I have always wondered what home schooling was like. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?"
"No I don't care, ask away." The girls talked for the next ten minutes when McGonagall entered the room and asked Brooke to leave because the compartment was needed for the Head's meeting.
"Bye Hermione I hope to see you around," said Brooke as she left.
"Bye Brooke."
Brooke wandered through the train looking for an empty compartment. At the back of the train she finally found one and she went in and put her stuff down. 'Alright I guess I'll change now' thought Brooke. Brooke changed into her skirt and had her shirt off when the compartment door opened suddenly!
…
Hermione could feel her hands getting sweaty as she nervously paced up and down the compartment when she heard the door slide open and a familiar voice.
"I should have expected the Head girl was you Granger. I guess I was hoping they wouldn't make that stupid of a mistake," said Draco Malfoy who smirked as he sat down, crossed his arms and put his feet up.
"Their only mistake was making a deatheater Head Boy!" snapped Hermione quickly. As soon as she finished saying it, she regretted it. Draco's eyes became cold and he stood up.
"Don't ever say that again mudblood!" he whispered in a threatening voice. Hermione was silent and looked at the floor. She knew she had hit a nerve and not to push it further.
"Alright let's get down to business," Hermione began after a long awkward silence.
"Geez Granger I always knew you wanted me but you sure are blunt." Draco smirked.
"Shut up you stupid ferret I was talking about our Head duties."
"Well I thought only you were doing you duty by giving head today." Hermione blushed at Draco's comment and he snickered in return.
"Whatever," sighed Hermione frustrated, "Let's go to work." McGonagall walked into the compartment and told then that they needed to get to the prefect meeting.
"Come on Draco we have to go," Hermione said.
"Oh don't worry I'll cum." Draco chuckled as he brushed past Hermione. Hermione stomped her foot on the ground and stormed after him toward the prefect compartment.
Hermione was beyond pissed, she couldn't believe Draco was Head Boy and she had to live with him for the next year. Then when she walked into the prefect compartment she heard. "… was not able to make it to the meeting due to the fact she is an incompetent mudblood who knows nothing." Oh yes Hermione was beyond pissed.
"Shut you face Malfoy. Hermione is smarter than you and you know it. You are the one that's incompetent," said Ron who was red in the face and standing up.
"YEA!" shouted Ginny standing up next to Ron.
Draco laughed and noticed that Hermione was standing at the door. After seeing the look on her face he was laughing even harder.
"Aww look the weasel and weaselette are defending the mudblood. How cute weasel is all hot and bothered over his little girlfriend." said Draco with a smirk.
"He is not my boyfriend Malfoy. I think this whole thing can wait till later we have a meeting to do," at the mention of Hermione not being Ron's girlfriend his face had fallen, but she hadn't even given it a second glance. "Okay so for patrolling the halls and the train. You will be partnered up with someone from a different house so there is no bias."
"No you can pick who you want to patrol with, we won't pick for you," said Draco who stood up right next to Hermione.
"No we will pick who's going with who they don't get a choice," said Hermione countering Draco.
"No they can pick it. They are big boys and girls, minus weasel. I don't know what he is." Said Draco with a smirk.
"Hey! I am more of a man than you will ever be Malfoy." said Ron trying to sound confident but the tips of his ears were bright red.
"Yea like that's even possible. Anyways you guys can pick who you are going to do the patrolling with."
"No you can't. I will pick them for you," Hermione couldn't believe that within five minutes of the meeting she and Draco were already fighting, oh wait she could believe that. All they did was fight, she knew her idea was better and she was thinking that Draco was countering her just so they wouldn't agree on things. 'God Draco is suck a pompous ass! I hate him!' Hermione thought just before she turned to face Draco to look him square in the eye and told them that they, as in her and Draco, would be picking who was going to patrol with who and that was final.
"Fine, but I'm only saying that so you will shut up about it. Okay?"
"Okay next topic is going to be about Hogsmeade."
"We will have people assigned to certain areas and will have to patrol every weekend. You got that?"
"And what if they have a date?"
"Well you won't have to worry about that now will you? So that's not a problem for you. As I was saying, you will have a certain place or area to where you are assigned and it is mandatory you to stay there and not go out on any dates, and that's final."
"No. If you want the day off for something just come to me and I will find a replacement, but come to me before we actually go like a day or two in advance."
"No, you can not and will not be getting out of your prefect duties." Draco really wanted some excuse so he wouldn't have to go out with Pansy. He hated that stupid bitch. 'She thinks I actually like her. HA! That's a laugh. She is nothing but a piece of ass to me, and a very good one at that' thought Draco.
Draco and Hermione kept on fighting about every little thing. Hermione would say one thing but then Draco would come in with a completely different answer. Most times in the end Draco would have the last word, but Hermione was only going along with him to shut him up. A meeting that was only supposed to be ten minutes long lasted for forty five minutes with no end in sight.
"My god. I never thought I would say this but… WOULD YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING! We were supposed to be patrolling the train right now and our meeting over but all you two have done was fight," shouted Ginny who was very annoyed. "We are going to be in Hogsmeade in not even five minutes and the meeting is still going on! Stop fighting and finish the meeting."
"For once weaslette is right. So stop disagreeing with me and lets finish up." Said Draco with a smirk.
Hermione who knew they were right and they had to finish the meeting but wasn't about to agree with everything that Malfoy says. 'We have to compromise' and the thought of that made Hermione sick to her stomach, she didn't wasn't to compromise on everything with that stupid git.
They tired to finish the meeting in time and they did, just in time to get off the train and head to the carriages waiting to take them to school. Hermione was so disappointed in herself and how she failed her first job as Head Girl. She just wanted to get away from Malfoy and go eat dinner with her friends, but not before she and Malfoy just had to exchange some words between the two of them.
…
…..when the compartment door opened suddenly.
Harry stared at the half naked Brooke that was currently standing in his compartment.
"Take a picture it will last longer." said Brooke as she put on her shirt.
"I… uhh… this… umm," Harry couldn't think of any thing to say. 'She probably thinks I'm bloody retarded' thought Harry. Harry took a deep breath. "This was my compartment but I left to go to the loo." Brooke gathered her things and went towards the door. "But you can stay here too if you'd like" said Harry in one quick breath.
"Alright sure?" Brooke looked at Harry confused about his odd behavior. "Brooke Dawson" she said as she held out her hand.
"Harry Potter" he replied regaining his composure. Brooke tried to suppress a laugh. 'So this is the GREAT Harry Potter' she smirked. 'She looks vaguely familiar' thought Harry.
"So Harry tell me about Hogwarts." Brooke decided it would be up to her to begin conversation. Harry began to tell her about Hogwarts. The teachers, the students, the houses, and last but far from least in the mind of Harry Potter, quidditch.
"Naturally Gryffindor has the best quidditch team because their seeker is simply amazing." Harry boasted. Knowing that Harry was the Gryffindor seeker Brooke replied.
"Yea but he seems to have a big head. I don't think I like him very much." Not knowing Brooke was only joking Harry got defensive.
"Shut up! You don't know what you are talking about!" Harry shot up out of rage.
"RRaa" said Brooke while making a small claw out of her hand and sounding like a cat. "I was only joking around pretty boy, nothing to cry over."
Harry sat down with a humph and a bruised ego. 'That girl knows how to break someone's spirit down' he thought. He must have been sitting there for a while with a look on his face because Brooke tapped his foot and said "look I'm sorry I didn't mean it I was just joking around."
"No its fine, don't worry about it" said Harry who as you could see was still hurt by her comment.
Brooke gave him a 'yea right' look
but let it go anyways. She could care less if he was mad or upset
about something as miniscule as a girl not liking him. 'God that is
such a sissy thing for a guy to be mad about' thought Brooke. For
the rest of the ride to school Brooke and Harry just sat in silence.
Brooke was wondering what her new school, and new school year was
going to be like. Harry on the hand was sitting there wondering who
the new defensive against the dark arts teacher was going to be. Also
he was wondering where
Ron and Ginny were and what was taking
them so long. Usually by this time they were back in the same
compartment after their prefect duties.
Harry was so glad when the train came to a stop at Hogsmeade, he gathered all his things muttered a good-bye to Brooke who replied with a nod and he headed off the train. When he stepped off the train he spotted Ginny and Ron and the reason why they never got back to the compartment. There, in the midst of a lot of students, was Hermione and the other head student, evidently Draco, yelling at each other about how the meeting was a total mess and blaming each other for it taking the whole time instead of just ten minute. Hagrid came over to break up the fight and send all the students onto either the boats or the carriages. Harry joined Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and to his chagrin Brooke on a carriage where Hermione vented to them all about how she hated Malfoy and she wondered why in gods name would someone put an incompetent twit as the Head Boy.
When they finally got to the Great Hall Hermione had Brooke sit with them because she was not sorted into a house yet. She explained to Brooke that she would be sorted separately after the feast in Dumbledore's office.
"Harry who is that girl?" asked Ron who was just complaining about how hungry he is.
"She's the new girl. I guess she transferred" answered Harry not really looking up from his empty plate.
"You can do that?" asked Ron who suddenly forgot his hunger. "Where did she do before?"
"I don't know" answered Harry.
"I wonder why she transferred."
"I don't know"
"I wonder what house she will be sorted into."
Harry who was suddenly really annoyed answered a little too loudly "God damn it Ron I don't fucking know. Stop asking so many damn questions."
"Geez sorry" said Ron whose ears turned a bit red at the people looking his way.
The first years finished being sorted into the house and Dumbledore gave his speech. He also introduced the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Vanessa Crêpe. She was a tall thin woman who looked to be about in her mid thirties. She had long brown hair that had a bit of a wave to it. Her complexion was sort of olive color, and she looked to be Italian. Hermione noticed that Professor Snape had this strange look on his face when Professor Crepe stood up, almost one of longing she would say.
As the feast began the noise level in the Great Hall rose considerably, everyone talking about their summers and other things. Ron was busy shoving food in his mouth like it was his last meal. Everyone but the first years were so used to it they didn't care. Harry really didn't have an appetite after what Brooke had said to him, and Hermione chatted with Brooke about different school things. Soon the feast and dessert were over and Hermione was taking Brooke to Dumbledore's office to get sorted.
Hermione made sure that Brooke was inside Dumbledore's office before she left. As Brooke sat down, she looked around the office. It was spacious with moving pictures of old Headmasters on the walls and other such knickknacks. There was also a book shelf of sorts behind what she assumed to be Professor Dumbledore's desk that was filled with many different types of books. Behind her was a huge conference table with different things piled on top, open books, closed ones, and stacks of paper a few stray pens and the hat that she was at dinner. Just then a door off to the side opened up and Professor Dumbledore walked through.
"Hello there Miss Dawson, I hope you like it here so far and that Miss Granger was nothing but kind and inviting towards you?" said Dumbledore as he walked behind his desk with a smile on his face.
"Oh yes Hermione was very kind and I do like it here so far, although I haven't really started yet" said Brooke who smiled back.
"I am glad you are here Miss Dawson but I am sorry for what has brought you here. I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother. Also I am told that no one is to know of your relationship to Mr. Malfoy, is that correct?"
"Thank you for your sympathy and I am happy to be here. Yes, our fathers thought it wise to not let people know that Draco and I are cousins."
"Alright then, shall we get to sorting you into a house? Please follow me. I thought it would be wiser not to put the hat back before you got here. Hahaha It would have made no sense at all."
Brooke sat in the chair closest to the hat. She thought it a little strange that a hat sorted the people but she really didn't care too much. Dumbledore put the hat on her head and she smiled when she heard the response she received.
