"But, how come I've never seen you before? I used to go to the Zabini mansion all the time?" Draco questioned. "I swear me and Blaise searched every inch of that house during the summers!?" he just didn't understand how Blaise could have a twin an him not know about it."Blaise and I." she corrected. "and you just think you've seen it all. I don't like to be disturbed. It's called magic my dear boy. Besides I think Blaise forgets I exist unless mother orders a family dinner." she smirked and if what she was saying didn't convince Draco, that smirk did. The only person that could pull of a smirk as good as a Malfoy was a Zabini.
"I was beginning to think you three had gotten lost." Professor McGonagall interrupted before eyeing Draco suspiciously. "Can I help you Mr. Malfoy?" she questioned. Draco was about to explain his presence when Rebecca spoke first.
"Oh, we had forgotten our way to your office ma'am. Draco kindly showed us the way!" she chimed her hair turning a sunset colour. It was calming. Professor looked from the three girls to Draco and back."How very... out of character Mr. Malfoy." she smiled. "But thank you very much for showing our new students to my office, I'll write you a slip to give to your teacher explaining your absence. The four of your come with me please." she said spinning on her heals and walking up the stair way into her office, they followed her up. She quickly wrote a note for Draco and handed it to him."if your teacher has any questions please tell them to cone see me. For you go now." Draco didn't hesitate, he still felt uncomfortable under his professors stare. "oh and Mr. Malfoy, 20points to Slytherin." he nodded with a slight smile before running off to class.
"Now girls, I trust you know where these class rooms are?" Mcgonagal asked raising an eyebrow. The girls skimmed there new timetables and nodded. "Very good, you are dismissed." she smile at them. Though as they turned around she spoke again, a slight twinkle in her eye. "Mrs Zabini, would you mind staying behind for a few minutes? It's about 6th years." Mcgonagal smiled at the other two, they nodded and left. When they did the smile on the professors face dropped.
"What was it you'd like to inform me on?" Raven asked her brown eyes looking at the teacher curiously."Raven, I'm afraid it's-"
"I wonder what's taking Ray so long?" Teagan wondered out loud.
"I'm sure it's nothing. Whats your first class?" Rebecca asked looking over her friends shoulder at her timetable.
"Don't do that, you know I don't like it when people look over my shoulder. I have a spare class first, then potions. You?" Teagan questioned.
"Sorry... I have... DADA and then care of magical creatures." Rebecca smiled, she had heard great things about DADA classes at Hogwarts from her father. "wanna walk me to class?" Becc asked.
"whatever." Teagan replied as they headed off down the grand stair case.
"What!?" Raven almost screamed, this was outrages! "How!? When!? Why!?" she had so many questions. Mcgonagal looked at the long haired girl as fire burnt in her eyes.
"I've told you this because I expect you to act responsibly while knowing this information. You must tell no one." Mcgonagal said seriously
."Tell no one!? Miss! With all due respect, this information could potentially KILL someone! Can I just tell-"
"No! You mustn't tell anyone, for you could put them in grave danger!"
"But what about me!? Am I in danger now!?" Raven questioned, her eyes wide.
"You're in no more danger than everyone else at the moment." Raven rolled her eyes."Great." she muttered.
"Do you understand-"
"Sorry I'm late miss." Draco said handing her the note McGonagal gave him. She skimmed the note and smiled. It sent shivers down Dracos spine.
"Very well Mr Malfoy. Please take a seat." she gestured to the class. He obliged sitting in between Blasie and Panzy.
"O.W.L.S, more Commonly known as, Owls!" chimed the pink lady from the front of the class room. Draco waited until she was in deep conversation before he turned to Panzy.
"Who's this old bag?" he questioned.
"Honestly Drake, do you not listen to anything at the assemblies?" he shrugged "Her name is Umbridge She spent a whole 15 minutes yaking on about how things are going to change at Hogwarts and whatnot. And she quite possibly has worse taste in fashion than Granger does!" Draco chuckle a little bit. Until he heard a slight cough coming from his left.
"Something funny Mr Malfoy?" he looked up at the pink toad faced lady and internally cringed. He shook his head and she continued with her lesson. Draco sighed. This was going to be a long day...
"Professor Mcgonagal, I just don't think I'm up for this..." Raven muttered. "I'm smart, but to do all of this, on my own!? It's ridiculous! And not in a good way..." she sighed.
"I'm sorry Mrs Zabini. I'm afraid we don't have a choice... It's what the prophecy has for told. You can do it, just believe in yourself." Mcgonagal stood and smiled at the young girl. "We're counting on you." Raven sighed again.
"No pressure or anything..." she muttered before exiting to go to her first class. Not that there was much point, there was only 10 minutes of class left anyway.
About 15 minutes after Draco arrived another person walked Through the door. Rebecca. She was also carrying a note though now she had her book bag with her. Umbitch, as Draco had soon deemed her, told her to sit down, the only empty seat being behind Draco he internally cursed himself.
"Hey guys." She whispered. Blaise smiled at her, Pansy glared at her and Draco simply looked at her and then back to the front. Rebecca sighed. She needed new friends...
"So why were you two both so late?" Blaise questioned raising an eyebrow suggestively, Draco glared and Rebecca blushed furiously. Her hair changing a vibrant maroon colour.
"We just so happened to be talking with your sister." Draco spat. Blaise's eyes widened slightly.
"Sister? You mean Raven? I haven't seen her in months, where was she?" he questioned.
"Standing outside our common room." Draco sighed, he was starting to get a head ache.
"Excuse me, but would someone please tell me what is going on!?" Pansy snapped from the opposite side of Draco. "Since when does Blaise have a sister!?" she questioned.
"There is nothing out there, dear. Who do you imagine would want to attack children like your self?" the toad spoke from the front of the room. Her and Harry were arguing.
"oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort!?" Draco's heart dropped into his stomach. He turned to the people around him, Blaise put his head down, Pansy's eyes were wide and Rebecca's hair was a almost black purple, a blank expression on her face.
"Let me make this, quite plain, you have been told, that a cretin dark wizard, is at large once again, this is a lie!-"
"I saw him! I fought him!?"
"DETENTION MR POTTER!"
"so according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord!?"
"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident!"
"It was murder! Lord Voldemort killed him! You must know that!?"
"ENOUGH! enough... See me later Mr Potter, my office." the toad glared hard at the boy who lived for the rest of the lesson. No one else dared to speak a word until the end of class, which luckily wasn't far away, there was only 5 minutes left.
"Raven? Did you here about the DADA teacher!? I swear she's loopy! Absolutely bonkers!" Rebecca said quickly as she sat next to her friend at lunch. Raven looked up at her friend and smiled.
"I have heard, nothing stays a secret long at Hogwarts I've noticed."
"Ray...? What's wrong?" Raven sat up straight in her seat. 'damn it! I hate how she can see right through me.'
"Becc, you're just going to have to trust me. I can't tell you anything but I need you to trust me." she said in a quite voice.
"Raven, you're scaring me... What-"
"Please Becc just, be my friend and trust me!" she looked sad and alone. So Rebecca did the only thing she could think of. She gave her friend a hug.
"Becc, y-your, you do realize your hugging me, yes?" Raven questioned. Everyone knew Becc didn't like touching people. It just doesn't happen, in the 5 years that Raven has known Becc she has only ever hugged three people. Her dad, her best friend outside of Hogwarts and well, her now.
"I'm not entirely sure when this is supposed to stop being comforting and start being creepy so let me know?"
"Haha! Thanks Becc." raven laughed as Becc let go.
"Despite everything, you can still make me laugh."
"I'm glad my social awkwardness is appealing to you" Becc smiled.
'Great... This just got more complicated.' Raven sighed and went back to eating her meal.
'I don't know what's going on but, well that's never stop me before.' Rebecca smirk to herself and grabbed some food. 'I wonder where teagan is?'
