The next morning, Thorn woke up to see that Draco wasn't laying in the bed next to her but sitting at his desk writing something so, she grabs her robe from the bed post, went over to him & asked, "What are you doing on, babe?" Draco smiles as she places a kiss on his cheek. "Writing a letter to Snape." Draco said. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower & get dressed. Then I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast, ok?" said Thorn as she walked over to the dresser to get her clothes. "Alright, sweetheart. See you downstairs. Love you." said Draco. She smiles at him to show him she loved him too & went to take her shower. "This year is going to be great. I'm through with Seamus & I'm with Draco. Yeah, this year will be great." Thorn said to herself as she untied her robe & step under the warm water. A few hours later, Thorn came down the stairs & went to the kitchen to eat. Draco was helping his mother cook breakfast for the three of them which made her smile. "Morning, Narcissa. Is Lucius joining us for breakfast or is he still working?" Thorn asked Narcissa Malfoy. "Morning, Thorn. No, he's still working & will be gone for the rest of the week." said Narcissa as she sits their plates on the table.
Thorn & Draco were still smiling about what happened the night before, Draco asked, "Thorn, can we tell my mom since she already thinks of you as a daughter?" Thorn nods her head & cleared her throat making Narcissa look at her & Draco. "Mom, we have something to tell you. She broke up with Seamus yesterday & she asked me if we could start dating again which I said yes. We don't want father to found out since I was promised to Parkinson, we're only letting those we can trust not to tell everyone who we don't trust & you're one of the people we know to keep a secret." said Draco. Narcissa was speechless for a while, she got up from her seat, came over to where they sat & hugs both of them with a smile on her face. "I'm happy for you both. Don't worry I won't tell anyone that you two don't trust to keep a secret." Narcissa said. Thorn looks at the clock & seen that they had to leave soon for King's Crossing train station & board the train. After they all ate breakfast, they left for the train station where Thorn seen Parkinson with an arm around Seamus' waist so, she rolled her eyes. "Bye, Narcissa. We'll see you on Christmas brake. Come on, Draco so, we can find a place to sit." said Thorn. Draco hugs his mom & said, "Bye, mom."
He followed Thorn onto the train, they found a place to sit, Thorn seen her friend Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw & sits down next to her as Draco sat down next to Thorn. "Hey, Luna." said Thorn. Luna smiled when she notices Thorn next to her & said, "Hello, Thorn. How was your summer?" Thorn let out a groan as she said, "It started off bad but, yesterday Draco & I started dating again. I know that you won't tell the other Ravenclaw students." "How was it bad if you two got back together, Thorn?" asked Luna. "I caught Seamus snogging Pansy Parkinson yesterday but, by the end of the day I found a new boyfriend." said Thorn as she pointed to Draco. Draco didn't mind listening to Thorn & Luna talking until they heard the door slide open, they look up to Seamus & Pansy sitting across from them. Thorn wanted to slap Seamus but, Draco & Luna grab both of her arms to keep her from starting a fight with them. "Thorn, calm down. We don't want you to get into trouble on the first day of our fifth year." said Luna. "Yeah, baby. Don't forget that I promised to make Seamus pay for what he did to you." Draco whispered in her ear. "Okay, you guys. I'll try to keep my cool but, I can't promise I won't fight if they start it." said Thorn. "Pansy, Seamus. Find somewhere else to sit before I kick both of your asses." said Draco. "Come on, Seamus. Let's find somewhere else to sit because it seems we're not welcomed here." Pansy said.
As they left, Thorn noticed a birth mark that looked like a snake & a lion in a loving embrace on the back of Pansy's left shoulder. Thorn remembered that Narcissa was in Gryffindor & Slytherin, she was also dating James Potter. Thorn thought back to when Narcissa was showing them pictures of her, James, Lily, Snape, Sirus, Remus & Peter. One picture that she had shown them was dated July 31, 1979, she was holding a new baby girl, she & James were smiling, Thorn had asked her, "Narcissa, who's the baby that you're holding?" She recalled Narcissa's answer was the baby was her & James' daughter, who had a birth mark on the back of her left shoulder that was a snake & a lion in a loving embrace then Thorn realized that Pansy Parkinson was Narcissa & James' daughter. "Oh. My. Vamp. Fangs. Parkinson's Narcissa & James' daughter." said Thorn. Draco & Luna look at her & asked, "What? Are you joking us, Thorn?" Thorn shakes her head & said, "No, I'm not joking. I remebered that picture she showed Draco & I that was dated July 31, 1979, she was hold a new baby girl. She told me it was her & James' daughter, that the baby had a snake & a lion in loving embrace on the back of her left shoulder & as Parkinson left I seen the same birth mark in the same spot. Which means Pansy is Draco & Harry's big sister well half sister." Draco didn't say a word because he was shocked that Pansy was his sister. "We can't let Pansy know about it, you guys." said Thorn. Draco & Luna nod their heads in agreement. "We're almost there, girls. We should change into our school robes." Draco said. Thorn nods her head & changed into her Sltherin/Ravenclaw robe, Luna didn't change which Draco & Thorn thought was weird but, Thorn knew Luna since her first day in Ravenclaw House. "I'll see you guys at the school, okay?" Thorn said. Draco looked at her & asked, "What are you going to do, baby?" Thorn looked at him & said, "I'm going to give Seamus back all of the stuff he bought me." Draco just sighed as he kissed her, Thorn left the train & appeared on the platform.
She waits for Seamus, Pansy, Luna, Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ron & everyone else to arrive which Luna was the first one to step off the train. "Luna, can you save me a seat please?" Thorn asked. Luna nods her head, skips toward one of the carriage & begins to read The Quibbler upside down which Thorn still can't figure out but, Luna was different like she was. Thorn turns back toward the train to see & hear Draco insulting Harry as usual so, she walks over to them. Draco stops when he sees Thorn walking toward them & said as he wraps an arm around her, "Hey, baby." "Hey, did I hear you insulting my friends again?" asked Thorn. "Yes, I was. I'm sorry, babe. Sorry, guys. I'll see you all at the feast, alright. Love you, baby." said Draco. "Love you too, Draco." said Thorn. She looks up at him & kisses him which Draco returned before he pulls away, smiles at her, kisses her on the forehead & runs to catch up with Crabbe & Goyle. Harry, Ron & Hermione stood there with their mouths open in shock then Hermione asked, "Thorn, are you & Draco actually dating this time?" Thorn nods her head as she walks toward the carriage where Luna was sitting with Harry, Hemione, Ron & Neville following. "Hey, guys." Neville said. "Hey, Neville." said Hermione, Thorn & Harry. "Hey there, Neville." said Ron. They all get into the carriage with Ron, Luna & Thorn on one side while Hermione, Harry & Neville sat on the other. "Everyone, this is Loony... I mean Luna Lovegood." Hermione said as she introduced Luna by her actual name & not her nickname. "Luna, I'd like you to meet my other friends, Ronald Weasley, Hermion Granger, Neville Longbottom & of course Harry Potter." Thorn said as she introduced Luna to her other friends which Luna nods her head to each of them. Just then Thorn's Iphone vibrated informing her of a text message so she pulls it from her pocket to read the words, 'Hey, babe. Where are you at? -Draco-' which made her smile. So, she texted him back as the carriage starts to move toward Hogwarts.
Meanwhile in The Great Hall, Draco waits for his new girlfriend & her friends when his phone vibrated with a text message from his girl, he pulls it from his pants pocket to read, 'We're on our way to the Hogwarts now, baby. Love you. -Thorn-'.He smiles & just before he can respond to the text message, he hears the doors open so, he looks up to see Thorn, Luna, Harry, Ron, Hermione & Neville walk into The Great Hall. But, before Hermione walks over to the Gryffindor table, Thorn pulls her to the side & asked, "Hey, Hermione. Can you give this back to Seamus for me, please? It's everything that he bought me & now I'm giving it all back so, he can give it to his new girlfriend." Hermione said as she took the bag, "Okay, I'll give it back to him. Will you please tell me why you two broke up in the first place, Thorn?" Hermione asked Thorn. "Well, yesterday I went to tell him that I was in love with somebody else. But, when I opened the door to his room I caught him & Pansy snogging eachother. They didn't realize I was even there but the moment I yelled at Seamus, he right away started to ask me for forgiveness but I told him that I would not forgive him for snogging Pansy & told him that we were over." Thorn said. Hermione nods her head as she takes the bag, walks over to the Gryffindor table, sits down next to Harry & starts eating. Thorn sits down next to Luna & starts eating. "Thorn, do you see what I see?" asked Luna pointing toward the Gryffindor table then to the Slytherin table. Thorn looks at who Luna was pointing at, to see Seamus & Pansy looking at eachother so, Thorn sent Draco a text message that said, 'Baby, look at Pansy & Seamus. -Thorn-'. Thorn starts to wander when Dumbledore would make his speech & she just shrugs. Finally, Dumbledore began his speech but, the moment he introduced the DADA teacher he was interrupted by Umbridge. "Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your brght, happy faces smiling up at me. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends." said Umbridge. "That's likely." said Fred & George in union. "The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches & young wizards to be of vitual importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school, progress for the sake of this progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, prefect what can be perfected & prune practices that ought to be prohibited." Umbridge said with a smile. Thorn's phone vibrated & she read, 'Can you believe the nerve of her, babe? I don't mind having some stuff being changed but all of it. She can't tell us what we can or can't do. -Draco-'. Thorn responded to his message, 'I know, Draco. I don't mind it either but if she starts making rules that are just plain crazy, you know I won't listen to what Fudge or Umbridge says. She can't kick me out of the boys dorm room since your mom was the one who asked Dumbledore to move me into your room. I won't go back to the Slytherin girl's dorm room without a fight & you know I won't back down. -Thorn-'.
Finally, it was time for every one to go to their houses which Thorn went to Ravenclaw house to put her things up & heads to Slytherin house to see Draco before she went to bed. She went through the portrait & found that Draco was the only one who was still awake. She walks over to the couch, sits down next to him & lays her head on his shoulder. "Hey, Draco." Thorn said. He wraps his arm around Thorn, pulls her into his lap & kisses her. Thorn wraps her arms around his neck, pulls him closer & deepens the kiss before she pulls away to look at Draco. "I don't want to go back to Ravenclaw house to sleep. But, I have to or else Umbridge will have my skin. I'll see you in the morning, okay. Love you, Draco. Good-night." Thorn said as she got up & headed for the door. Draco said as he hugs her bye, "I know, babe. It's not going to be easy to sleep without you next to me since we've only slept in different beds once which was last year for that dump tournment. Love you too, Thorn. I'll meet you outside the Ravenclaw Common Room tomorrow morning so, we can walk to class together. Good-night." Thorn hugs him once more, gives him one more kiss & heads back to Ravenclaw. She walks into the girls dorm room which she shared with Cho Chang & Luna Lovegood, changed into one of Draco's shirts, got into her bed & tried to sleep but, most of the night she tossed & turned. It wasn't until midnight Thorn got out of bed, grabs her pillow & her Slytherin/Ravenclaw blanket, went into The Common Room & went to sleep on the couch.
