Hey you all...

yes I know... another new story...

I just really like this idea... and I hope so will you...

Hayley was sat in her room on the large dark mahogany four-poster bed in the middle of the grand-room she knew most girls would die for. It was all luxuriously and lavishly decorated with her own bathroom. She sighed and shook her blonde head. There was a soft knock on her door and every muscle in her body tensed. She swallowed but relaxed when she looked up to meet silver/blue orbs so much like her own and broke out into a rarely seen smile "Draco" she smiled softly as the teen settled himself on her bed "Hello Hayls" he greeted his eyes now searching her's with concern "Are you in pain?" he questioned the smaller girl who dropped her gaze to the floor. The boy reached out and lifted her chin with his long, slender finger "Let me see" he told her and she sighed softly before nodding and taking of her shirt muttering "Revello" under her breath.

The boy closed his eyes for a second before he held up his hand and called for water, some clean cloths and a few potions since magical healing wouldn't work. Lucius Malfoy had made sure of it. The boy went to work on the girl's injuries as she then turned to him "What about you?" she inquired watching him carefully. "Don't worry about me Hayley" he sighed as he finished up "These potions will help with the pain" he told her. She raised an eyebrow "Draconis, Lucius Malfoy, don't lie to me" she scolded and the boy leaned his head back "Fine, fine" he smiled slightly "You know me too well" he smirked as he took of his robes and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a slim, but muscular chest and well defined abs. The same "Revello" that had passed his sister's lips now left his. The girl gasped. It was much, much worse than her own, but then again, the boy was always looking out for her and even their mother. She grabbed the stuff she'd need and got to work. About an hour later she was finished and looked up at him with big mercury eyes filled with concern. Then he lifted the young girl in his lap and the little girl smiled as she snuggled up to the 16 year old. This was the one person with whom she could really let go... with whom she could truly be herself. She felt sorry for the boy since she knew he had no-one like that.

She knew he would never confide in her the way she did in him. He didn't want her to worry or burden her "We're going to school in a few days" she smiled widely and the blond nodded with a smile "Excited Hayls?" he asked wrapping an arm around her frail shoulders and she nodded vigorously "I can't wait" she exclaimed and the teen chuckled "You'll love it" and the youngster nodded. He however wasn't looking forward to school as much this year. He had a reputation to uphold of course, and now that 'the dark lord' had given him a mission, one he had still not figured out how he was going to get done. Yes that blasted Potter and his little sidekicks had sent Lucius to Azkaban, but he had bribed and cheated his way out of their within two weeks.

A few days later the two blondes found themselves at Kings Cross in front of platform 9 and 10. He turned to the girl kneeling down to her height "You ready?" he asked and the girl nodded, grabbed her trolley and glanced around before walking through the barrier in the wall. She looked around wide-eyed. People always scared her half to death and there were a lot of them here. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and she yelped in fear spinning around only to be collected in two strong arms. She breathed a sigh of relieve burying her head into the shoulder that now held her. The blond sighed holding her until he gently put his hands on her shoulders pointing at the train as their luggage had been taken by the Hogwarts staff "We should board the train" he said gently and she nodded "Okay..." she whispered still uncertain. He took her hand and so the two entered the train in search of Draco's cronies. Soon Pansy and Zabini were found. Introductions weren't necessary of course, and so they simply chatted amongst themselves. The young girl amazed at the change in the teen. His eyes had turned so cold and he had assumed such an air of arrogance as he was telling the other two about the fact that he would not be back at school next year. The change almost scared her and she gave him a sideway glance. She sighed not knowing what to do. The blonde girl stared out the window watching the English countreyside pass her by before, hours later, they arrived at the station near Hogwarts and she smiled excited. She could hardly wait to see the castle.

The blonde boy told the others to go on ahead without him. When they had left, he closed the compartment door and whirled around "Didn't mommy ever tell you it is rude to eavesdrop Potter?" he sneered as he whipped out his wand hissing a "Petrificus totalus" and the sound of a body hitting the floor could be heard. He moved over taking of the invisibility cloak. "Oh yes, she was dead before you could wipe the drool of your chin" he then stomped on the boys face "That for my father, enjoy your ride back to London" he snarled putting the invisibility cloak back over the still frame of the raven-haired boy. The door slid open and the girl stood there "Draco" she called out softly "Are you coming?" she questioned hopefully and the blond's head snapped up "Of course Hayls" he smiled his facial expression changing immediately and stepped over the disappeared body. He took her hand and they walked of the train. Hagrid was standing there yelling for the first years to come come over "You have to go with him sweetie" he told the girl who looked increasingly uncomfortable "Without you?" her soft voice asked shakily. He nodded "Yes Hayley.. But I will see you soon, at the castle" he promised. She swallowed, but nodded and made her way towards the big half-giant and the first years made their way towards the boats.

They soon arrived at the school and McGonnagal was waiting for the new first years. She glanced over the group before telling them they could come further into the great hall where the rest of the students were already seated. The sorting was soon in full swing "Christine Fillian" a small raven-haired girl stepped up to the chair and the hat was placed on her head and it soon shouted out Ravenclaw. Two more boys were called before McGonnagal called out "Hayley Malfoy". All the heads of three tables snapped up. Another Malfoy? That had been the last thing they had expected. They had never known he had siblings. The girl closed her eyes for a moment before sitting down and the hat was placed on her head. 'Please put me in Slytherin... Please... he'll kill me if I'm put anywhere else...' she thought the hat waited for a moment "Really? Better not be responsible for that... best then Slytherin!" it called out and huge relieve flashed over the girl's features and she hurried to her new table and scooted right by her brother's side who smiled at her.

That night the blonde girl couldn't sleep and she snuck out of her dorm. When she realized that her brother wasn't anywhere in the Slytherin rooms or his dorm she headed through the portrait to try and find him. She tiptoed through the dungeon corridors and she headed up the stairs deep in thought. So deep in fact that she didn't hear the footsteps that neared her until it was too late. "Malfoy, what are you doing out after curfew?" came the cold demand and the girl's head snapped up and she backed away from the older brunette girl who was flanked by a tall redheaded boy "I... I was... I..." she stammered going even paler than her normal complexion. The redheaded boy raised an eyebrow "Cat got your tongue huh?" he snapped and the girl was now backed up against a wall restricting her movement. "No.. I.. I was just..." The brunette now frowned "You were what?" she snapped and the girl dropped her gaze to the floor and bit her bottom-lip.

"Granger, Weasel, do stop pestering my sister" a voice like ice cut through the air and now three heads snapped up and the small child pushed herself from the wall sprinting up to her brother "Draco..." her voice hitched in her throat "You were gone and I couldn't find you..." she started quickly. The teen placed a hand on her hair and his eyes shot daggers at the duo before him "I ever catch you bothering her again, mark my words, it will be the last thing you do" he hissed his eyes filled with such rage and promise that his two year-mates were taken aback "If she would simply follow the rules we wouldn't have to 'bother' her Malfoy" the redhead hissed and the blond grit his teeth stepping forward threateningly his hand balled into fist rigid at his side "Keep pushing you filthy traitor and you'll see..." he hissed. The girl watched this wide-eyed grabbing her brother's wrist effectively cutting him of "Draco...can we go please...?" she pleaded. She had never seen her brother like this. It was almost as if he was a completely different person from how he was at home and it scared her. Now he reminded her more of her.. father. The Malfoy heir clenched his jaw before turning towards the girl "Yes, of course Haley" he responded picking up the small girl swiftly turning around his cloak billowing behind him leaving two dumbfounded Gryffindors.

The next morning Hayley awoke early for her first days of classes and headed up the boy's dorms to see if her brother was still there. Which in fact he was. He was still fast asleep. Zabini however was just returning from a shower, dressed in his school uniform. When he noticed the girl he smiled rolling his eyes throwing a pillow at the still sleeping form of his dorm-mate "Yo Malfoy, company" he called out and a loud groan of protest escaped from the pile of blankets. Hayley smiled. She knew how much her brother hated being woken up early in the morning; mostly because he would be working until well after midnight, studying or training or simply reading. She knew the boy slept as little as possible. She climbed on the bed putting her arms around the blond who slowly opened his eyes "Hello sweetie" he smiled pulling the girl closer. She giggled and tried to squirm away. "Breakfast will be soon" she told him sternly "You should get ready" she scolded and he laughed but nodded and rose from the bed and headed into the bathroom to get ready.

The girl simply waited for him to be finished and then they headed towards the great hall. She tucked into her breakfast happily but didn't miss the fact that her brother had not touched his food before it disappeared. She however knew better then to comment on it. She didn't want to anger her brother. When done her brother turned to her "What's you first class Hayls?" he questioned and the girl beamed "Potions, with Sev" she answered with a huge grin and the Malfoy heir smiled nodding "That's good sweetie" he commented and then proceeded to tell her where in the dungeons she needed to be. They then headed to their respective classes and they would not see each-other before lunch time.

His first class was defense against the dark arts, of course with those damn goody-two-shoes Gryffindors. The blond teen slipped into his seat as Lupin, who apparently had returned to teach for another year, entered. He focussed on the information that was being shared as he was dead set on finally doing something right for once and beat that filthy mudblood. He had yet to figure out how she kept doing it. She kept bettering him in a few subjects and even though she had more time to study since he also had quidditch and his father's 'studies' to worry about it was still infuriating to always come in second. The blond ran a hand through his hair.

"Mr. Malfoy"

His head snapped up "Huh...?" he muttered and he was nudged in the ribs by his Italian dorm-mate who pointed at something in his book. The blond looked at the teacher giving the answer. The professor raised an eyebrow but let it slide for now. The blond sighed thinking he would have to simply try harder to focus. Then classes were over the blond headed to the Slytherin rooms and flopped down on the couch. Soon after, his sister entered and nestled up against him. He immediately wrapped an arm around her. Yes, she knew she shouldn't do this. That she shouldn't be such a big baby and rely on her brother like this, show this... weakness... but really, she couldn't help it, and Draco did not seem to mind. He smiled down at her "How was your first day Hayls?" he asked. She beamed and started babbling on about her classes, teachers and the other children in her class. He smiled listening intently, glad to hear she had had a good time and was getting along nicely. They sat there for a while before Draco sat up "I should really go get my homework done" he told his sister who nodded "Alright... I'll go and check things out outside" she smiled and headed out the door. The boy sighed heavily and rose to his feet to collect the necessary materials and went to work.

Meanwhile. Hayley had borrowed her brother's broom and headed outside in search for the quidditch fields. She smiled as she spotted the rings high above the ground and she rushed over mounting the broom and soaring through the air with the same ease and grace as her older brother. She felt free and closed her eyes for a moment. Flying always made everything better. She could totally let go and for a moment it wasn't as if the rest of the world did not exist. She sighed happily diving towards the ground before steering the broom upward. The blond girl smiled but that soon disappeared when another group of people arrived into her space.

"Beat it Malfoy" the redhead from last night snapped and the girl swallowed nodding biting her bottom-lip. Men scared her... and this one was no different. She slowly headed to the floor and dismounted her broom and practically ran inside the redhead laughed as did the rest of the team. The girl ran down into the dungeons almost running into her head of house. "Ms. Malfoy..." his monotone drawl filled the air as he halted her by her shoulders "Why the rush?". The girl tensed immediately trying to shrink away from the man's hand "I... I .. w..was just g..going back to the c..common-room" she stuttered. Snape raised an eyebrow but released her nodding slightly "Alright Ms. Malfoy, be more carefull next time" he told her and she nodded vigorously "Yes sir, I'm sorry sir..." she responded quickly and headed the rest of the way towards the Slytherin rooms and entered in search for the comfort her brother was sure to bring.

The year had been going for a few weeks now and Hayley was starting to feel right at home and started to come out of her shell a little and for once was truly happy. She had taken to sneaking out after curfew, just because she still had major trouble sleeping and her brother, being a prefect was out most nights, either on duty or just because he couldn't sleep as well. The blonde girl went outside towards the lake where she sat down in the grass and stared out over the rippling waters. She closed her eyes for a moment and just smiled. That was, until she was grabbed from behind. She gave a yelp of fear and surprise as she was whirled around and hauled to her feet "Hayley, where is your brother?" a tall man asked yanking her closer. "Father.. I.. I don't know... I.. I think h..he's i..inside doing rounds..." she stammered and the blond Malfoy patriarch nodded slightly "Okay, that gives me some time with you" he hissed "I've been informed on you first test scores" he started "And it seems you have not been had the best grades...". The girl bit her lip "Malfoys do not come in second best, do you understand?" he hissed once more and the girl nodded vigorously "I'm sorry father... I'll make it happen.." she muttered as if on automatic pilot and her father's cane hit her in the stomach. She tried to hide a wince as best she could, but her father grabbed her by the back of her hair "You are just a pathetic excuse for a Malfoy" he hissed.
