Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Mia is in Ginny's year.

Zelda is in Harry's year.

Alex, Max, and Felix are in the same year as the Weasley twins.

Zoë is Charlie's age.

Mia throws her clothes into her trunk.

"Well, you aren't going to be able to find anything in that!" Zoë laughs, standing in the doorway.

"I forgot to pack last night, and we're still in America!" Mia panics, continuing to throw her belongings in the trunk.

Zoë points her wand at the clothes and books on the floor (and partially in the trunk). The objects neaten themselves up and put themselves in the trunk.

"Did you help Zelda?" Mia asks, but Zoë just walks away.

No one really likes Zelda much. She wasn't mean, far from it. She was smart, definitely should've been a Ravenclaw. There was no explanation. Just no one ever liked Zelda, except a fellow pureblood from Britain. The most popular girl, Julia, would tell everyone that Zelda's a freak, but never call Mia a freak, even though she clearly was. Yet, every year, Zelda was forced to go to Julia's end of summer slumber party. The girls would dye Zelda's hair different colors and at the most recent one, they played a nasty prank that put Zelda in glasses for a year and a half. Not even magic could fix it. As a result of all this, Zelda was pretty quiet and very brave.

Alex, Max, and Felix come running by, yelling, "LET'S GOOOOOOOO!"

Time skip- Sorting- Time skip

"Green, Mia!" Professor McGonagall calls.

Hmmmm... much like your siblings, your smart, but not really creative. Ravenclaw's out. You aren't noble enough to be a Gryffindor. You aren't loyal to your sister, so no Hufflepuff.

'You don't know what she's like!' Mia tells the Sorting Hat.

Except that I do. She's "Dumbledore's pet."

"SLYTHERIN!" the Sorting Hat yells.

Zelda Green looks up from her place at the Gryffindor table with surprise. Her brothers do the same from the Hufflepuff table.

Zelda looks back down at her book, pushing her glasses back up her nose.

"Weasley, Ginevra!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Zelda cheers loudly for her friend's little sister.

"Zelda!" a brunette girl calls down the table. "Have you seen Harry or Ron?"

"I saw them from the train. They were in a flying car. Harry almost fell out but I helped him back in from the train. They're probably getting in trouble," Zelda answers, with a slight laugh.

Dumbledore gives his speech.

"Look, it's Harry and Ron!" Zelda yelps, motioning to the two boys that were sitting down next to the two girls- Ron across from Hermione and Harry across from Zelda.

Harry gives Zelda a hug.

"Why are you wearing glasses?" Hermione asks her best friend.

"Julia," is all Zelda says.

"That AWFUL muggle girl named Julia?" Hermione shrieks.

Hermione sees a little Slytherin first year with dirty blond hair looking over at them.

"Mia, stop staring..." Zelda mumbles.

A few other Slytherins follow the first year's gaze.

Vincent Goyle looks over at Zelda with a smirk. He raises his wand and opens his mouth, a hex on his tongue, but Malfoy hisses, "Put down you wand, you idiot!"

"Why?" he complains.

"It's Dumbledore's pet!" Malfoy says loudly, shooting Zelda an apologetic look.

Unfortunately, that look did not go unnoticed by Harry.

"What was that?" Harry exclaims.

"Nothing," Zelda answers, slightly angrily, but acting oblivious.

Harry and Ron's eyes are both on Zelda and Hermione as Draco Malfoy mouthes to Zelda, "Usual place?"

Zelda nods ever so slightly, so it looks like she's paying attention to the boys.

Hermione looks at Zelda with a warning look.

"You know, Zelda, I think I see Percy gathering the first years. Shall we all go?" Hermione says, a tone that orders everyone to agree.

"Yep!" Ron yelps.

Zelda grabs Harry's arm and jokes, "Help! She's going to go all mom on me!"

Harry laughs and shakes her off. "I don't want her coming after me, too!"

Zelda hides behind Ron, who jumps out of the way.

"Wimps!" she giggles.

She hides behind Fred, then George, her favorite Weasley twins- not that there are any other Weasley twins.

"Zelda! Stop it!" Hermione laughs, pulling the girl up the stairs to their dormitory.

"Do we have to talk about this, again?" Zelda asks, sitting on her bed.

"Yes," Hermione answers, ignoring Zelda's groan. "You aren't going to meet with him again, are you?"

"Of course, I am!"

"You can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because he's a Slytherin. With the last name Malfoy. Harry -one of your best friends- and Malfoy are ENEMIES!"

"So, he and I have been really close friends since we were two. I never get to see anyone else over breaks. Remember?"

"Fine! I'm telling Harry if there's another meeting, though. And I actually will!"

"HERMIONE! YOU CAN'T!"

"I have to, Zelda."

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

Zelda doesn't answer.

She leaves.

Hermione runs after her.

Harry and Ron sit in the common room, watching as Zelda leaves the common room, wiping tears from her eyes as she yells, "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Mia watches as Draco Malfoy, a boy she personally despises, orders his minions to stay in the common room while he's out.

They don't pay attention.

Malfoy rolls his eyes and walks out of the common room.

He turns down the hall, before sprinting to the lake. By the beech tree, he sees Zelda. Her head was resting on her knees. She was clearly crying.

"Hey, hey. What's wrong?"

"I can't do this anymore, Dray."

"W-why not, Zel?"

"Hermione's going to tell him."

"She didn't any other time."

"But she said she would actually do it this time."

"Please, we'll be better about it."

"Draco, no. If someone finds out, Harry will be the first to know and I don't want anything happening to either of you."

"I'm not scared of him! Nor will I ever hurt him!"

"Draco, maybe."

"ZELDA! I TRUSTED YOU!"

Uh-oh.

Ay! Thank for reading!

Zelda's name changed a few times, so I apologize if it says Chloe or Hazel anywhere. Though, they may come later as OCs.

See ya when I see ya!
