Chapter 2

Sirius's POV

I was doing work for Dumbledore at the school and I wanted to go see Annika and Harry. I was walking back to Dumbledore's office when I saw Snape running down the hall. "Why in such a hurry Snape?" I sneered.

"Annika!" he screamed as he rounded the corner. My blood turned cold and I took off to Dumbledore's office and saw him sitting behind his desk reading the paper.

"Dumbledore!" he looked up. "It's Harry and Annika!" he stood up from his desk and came over.

"I'll go to Harry you go to Annika." He said going towards the door. I went through the fireplace and saw Annika writhing on the ground.

"Annika!" she heard me but before she could answer she screamed. I went over to her and kneeled beside her. "Annika can you hear me?" she nodded.

"It hurts Sirius. Make it stop." She moaned clawing her arm. Finally she stopped moving and I knew it was over for tonight anyway. I picked her up and placed her on the couch. She was unconscious and I sat next to her and wiped the tears and hair away from her face. I sat there for a little bit before Snape and Dumbledore walked in.

"How is she?" Snape asked.

"She's unconscious." Snape walked over and looked at her.

"How long has she been out?" he asked checker her forehead and arm.

"About 10 minutes. How's Harry?"

"He's ok. He's asleep." Dumbledore said. I heard a moan and saw Annika stirring.

Annika's POV

When I was aware of what was going around me a splitting headache hit. I moaned and turned over to find my father's concerned eyes. "Hey Dad." I whispered my voice hoarse from screaming. "How's Harry?" I asked.

"He's fine. How are you feeling?" he asked handing me a glass of water.

"I'm fine just a little headache." I said absentmindedly. He left the room and quickly came back with a potion. "Sometimes I really hate this connection." See, with me and Harry twins and all we have a special connection. When either of us are in pain the other one always feels it. So every time Harry has a vision I feel it or every time I hurt myself dueling or whatever he feels it. It's good in a way because I will always know if he's ok. As far as people know that I am related to Harry there are very few. Only Sirius, the teachers, and my dad. That's it. Dumbledore is very cautious about telling people because he doesn't want the information getting in the wrong hands.

"I know." My father replied. "Why don't you to bed you have class in the morning." I nodded and went upstairs. I got my pajamas on and climbed into bed. I heard the headmaster and Sirius leave and heard my dad come upstairs. He knocked on my door.

"Come in." I called. He walked in and sat in the chair by my bed.

"You ok?" he asked in a fatherly voice.

"Yeah, I don't know do you know how long I have to keep up the lie?" he sighed.

"I don't know. What is your first class in the morning?" Typical dad trying to change the subject.

"Um… Defense." I said. "Um dad?" I asked.

"Yeah what is it?"

"Don't be mad ok?" he nodded. "Well I have detention tomorrow night with Umbridge." I said uneasily.

"And why is that?"

"Well I might of cursed Malfoy?"

"You What?!" he yelled. "What happened?"

"Well he was hitting on me and I told him that if he didn't stop I would hex him and he didn't so I hexed him." I said innocently.

"Annika! You have to stop doing that!" he shouted.

"What do you expect me to do? Let him hit on me?"

"Yes that is exactly what I want you to do. Don't let it bother you. He will stop soon if he doesn't well I guess you will have to marry him." He laughed.

"Dad!" I yelled.

"Well why don' you go to sleep we will deal with the Malfoy issue tomorrow. Good night. I love you."

"Love you too! Night." He walked out the door.

Next morning…

I woke up and went to take a shower. After the shower I pulled on my Slytherin robes and went downstairs. Snape was sitting at the table with coffee and the newspaper. When I entered he put the paper down and looked at me. "Annika how are you feeling?"

"Fine dad. I'm going to breakfast. See you later!" I called. He mumbled a goodbye but didn't stop me. when I got to the great hall students were already there and to my joy so was Malfoy. I said 'hi' to Flint and Zambini as I walked by. I sat next to Hilary and noticed Malfoy staring at me. 'Ok something needs to be done.' I thought. Then a brilliant beyond brilliant idea popped into my head. I took out a quill and a piece of parchment out of my bag. I wrote some stuff down and enchanted it to fly to the twins.
