Hey everyone! I'm back with another story!. This one is a Dramonie and it is my first time writing one. My last story called, "A Change in Time" is a Rose/Scorp fic. This story will be a little slow going at first, but it will pick up I promise. I have the ending in mind already, but I'm not sure if I want to split this up into multiple stories, (7 total, one for each school year with an epilogue at the end of the last one, or 3 stories with the first being years 1-3, second being 4 & 5 and the third being 6 & 7) or have it be one really lone story like 100+ chapters. I guess I will decide a little later on. For now, let's get to the story.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. I only own my ideas and the character of Delphina.
Chapter 1: A Chance Meeting
"Mum is it time to go yet? I cannot wait to finally be able to get all my supplies. Oh, this is so exciting. I cannot wait for term to start. I wonder what house I will get? As long as it is not Hufflepuff I am good." Hermione Granger spit out so fast her mother barely had time to process what the young girl said.
"Yes, sweetie it is time to go. I am so glad you are excited, let's get there before it gets too crowded, you know how your father is with crowd's dear." Jean, Hermione's loving mother stated. "Where is your father?" She said as an afterthought.
"Right here love." Michael, Jean's husband, and Hermione's father spoke as he leaned to give is darling wife a kiss. "Let's get a move on troops, Hermione is about to explode." He laughed.
The Granger family then headed out of their simple country cottage and walked to the apparition point. The Granger's, who are a pureblood family, are one of the wealthiest families in the wizarding world, but unlike most purebloods, they live in a modest home and not a manor. This is partly to them being considered blood traitors for not being followers of The Dark Lord, He Who Must Not Be Named, Voldy, or whatever they want to call him. The Granger's did not care however, they did not believe that anyone, magical or not, muggleborn or not, should be treated how His followers treated them.
"You know Hermione, your mother was a Ravenclaw and I was a Slytherin. We will be proud and love you no matter what house you get. It would be really cool though if you got sorted into one of those two." Her father stated as they were about to apparate. Hermione nodded agreeing in her head to what her father said.
Malfoy…the name struck fear into the hearts of many. The Malfoy's, you see, are well respected in the Wizarding World. They are one of the oldest pureblood families, and they have that air about them that says, "Mess with us and you will get what is coming to you." Lucius, dear old Lucius followed in the ways of the Dark Lord before his downfall. Since then he has renounced his ways, but many fear that it is all a façade. He insists that it is the truth and that he does not want to raise his son, Draco and his twin sister Delphina, to believe such a "waste of space" as he often referred to him. The twins would be starting Hogwarts this year and could not be happier. Little did they know of the great adventures that would await them.
"Mom, Dad, Draco, its time to go. We don't want to wait around all day to get our supplies, do we?" Delphina called out. She was a spitting image of her mother Narcissa, Cissy as she liked to be called, with her platinum blonde hair with brown weaving through it, except for her eyes, she had eyes like Draco, steal, grey piercing eyes.
"Del, keep your pants on, we are coming!" Draco called out. He liked calling his sister Del, it drove her crazy cause it got under her skin and he loves getting under her skin.
"Now, Now Draco, be nice to your sister. No sense in teasing her when you know she can pin you down easily in a fight." Lucius fake drawled as they descended the stair to the main lobby of the Malfoy Mansion. They like most all pureblood families live in a very extravagant mansion. They wanted to show off their money, and boy did they show it off.
"Yes, father. Sorry, Delphina, it won't happen again." Draco apologized with a smirk. Delphina knew he didn't mean it but was glad he was saying it if nothing else she knew how much he HATED apologizing.
"Let's get going children before the crowds get too bad." Their loving mother Cissy called out. So, the four of them headed off to what would be an interesting start to an interesting year.
Hermione and her parents walked into Ollivander's wand shop at just the same time that Draco and his family were walking in. No one noticed each other at first, Hermione and her parents walking to one side of the shop and Draco and his family to the other. It wasn't until Ollivander called out that the two families noticed each other. The families knew of each other, and why wouldn't they. All pureblood families know of each other, especially ones that are considered blood traitors. The adults, having not run into each other for a very long time, did not know what to say to each other. The kids, however, had no idea what was really going on, decided to chat.
"Hi, I'm Hermione. Are you here to get a wand? Of course, you are, why would you be here if you weren't. I'm so excited because this is my first year of Hogwarts. I cannot wait to get there, I have read all about it in Hogwarts A History. I don't know what house I want to be sorted in. Well, I don't want to be sorted into Hufflepuff for sure, Ravenclaw or Slytherin wouldn't be too bad, and I guess Gryffindor would be okay. Sorry, I'm rambling, I get nervous and ramble when I meet new people. I'll be quiet now." Hermione blushed at having been rambling on like that.
Draco and Delphina found it amusing and just chuckled slightly. "That's quite alright Hermione, I'm Delphina and this is my twin brother Draco. It is our first year at Hogwarts too and I couldn't be more excited. I can't say for sure if my brother feels the same way." She nodded over to Draco who, after chuckling was now standing staring at Hermione as if trying to figure her out, like she is a great puzzle that he wants to solve.
"Sorry, I was off in my own thoughts, what did you say sis?" Draco replied a moment or two later.
"I was asking if you are just as excited as Hermione and me for Hogwarts." Oh, you know I'm excited, I'm super excited sis."
It was at this point that the adults had finally spoken up. "Lucius, Cissy, it is nice to see you again. Your children look like the spitting image of you two. They look like wonderful children." Jean spoke up. "Your daughter is the spitting image of you Jean, she is so beautiful, you better keep a close eye on her for boys will be throwing themselves at her feet as she grows." Came Lucius' reply, as he saw how his own son was staring at Hermione like she was the most beautiful thing in the world already, despite them having just seen each other for the first time in years, and them being only eleven.
"One hopes that the children have a great year this year, it will be nice if our children end up in the same house together, they would all get along so well, and it would be nice for Hermione to have a friendly face to see, seeing as she doesn't have many friends. She prefers her books and to study versus going out and making friends." Came Michael's reply.
The Malfoy's agreed, they never have had a problem with the Granger's as they themselves have been looked at as blood traitor's now and again with their proclamations against Voldy. What no one in that shop knew was that the three of them would become great friends with a certain Mr. Harry Potter and they would be such a tight-knit group of friends. Fate is having so much fun.
