Dear Diary,

The new head of Slytherin/new Potions master hasn't been announced yet. He won't get here until tomorrow morning and they want us to be surprised until then. I have to go, I need to shower before I go to sleep and tomorrow is an early day. I'll write soon.

Love From,

Dear Diary,

We started classes today. So far I've had Charms with Flitwick and Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Parvati Patel. Here's my schedule.

Monday: Charms & DADA

Tuesday: Potions & Astronomy

Wednesday: Transfiguration

Thursday: Divination, Herboligy, & History of Magic

Friday: Care of Magical Creatures & Arithmancy

I haven't gotten a letter back from Ginny yet, I'm assuming she wanted to talk to Andy face to face. Currently I'm sitting on my bed behind closed curtains. Jessi is singing obnoxiously. That's really all I have to say.

I'll write soon! Cheers!

Dear Diary,

I just finished with Herboligy. Neville (I guess I should call him Professor Longbottom) told me to tell my family hello.

We've got a new Potions Professor– Harry and Ron are going to flip. I'm letting Teddy break the news to them. I told Ginny in a very short letter.

Ginny,

We've got a new Potions master… let Teddy tell Harry. It's Draco Malfoy. I know, your jaw just dropped. Cheers!

~Addi Jae

I sent that letter off this morning, and got back the short reply of 'Oh my gosh. Good luck! I'll tell you when I talk to Andy.' I skipped breakfast this morning because I was so tired, Jessi's singing kept us all awake.

After that I headed to Potions class and sat down at my lab table– with Teddy, Chrissy, and Robert (Teddy's friend).

Everyone looked around– anxious to see who the new Potions Master/Slytherin Head of House was going to be.

Finally, a tall man with bleach blonde hair entered.

The man pointed his wand at the board and magicked the name 'Professor Malfoy' onto it.

Teddy and I looked at each other with identical shocked expressions. Both of our mouths were hanging wide open.

"Good morning 4th years," Malfoy greeted. "I'm going to be your potions teacher as well as head of Slytherin. You may call me Professor Malfoy. Now, let's see… I'm going to take attendance and then we'll get started with today's potion…"

He began to call off names, stopping only when he reached Teddy's name. After a short glance at him he began roll call again.

The rest of the class continued normally until the end of the lesson. As everyone was leaving he asked for Teddy and I to stay. People shuffled out behind us as Teddy and I awkwardly stood at Malfoy's desk.

"Good luck," Jessi mouthed as she left. She was the last one out the door and Malfoy shut it behind her.

Once we were alone Malfoy laughed, "There's no reason to look so afraid." He told us, "Relax."

I nodded as Teddy fidgeted uncertainly.

"Miss Tonks," Malfoy started, "I understand you're in my house?"

I nodded again, not sure where the conversation was going.

Malfoy smiled, "Excellent. Slytherin could use some students who know what they're doing in Transfiguration."

"W-what do you mean?" I asked.

"I think you know what I mean." He said, picking up my hand and pointing to my nails which had turned a dull gray.

"As for you, Mr. Lupin," he said, turning to Teddy, "I was hoping you could… uh… send your Godfather a note for me?"

Teddy nodded, his mouth still gaped open. "Erm– thank you Teddy." He said awkwardly, handing him an envelope.

"Um… no problem?" Teddy replied, though it sounded like a question.

"Thank you both. I'll see you around the school. Now– uh– run along to lunch."

Teddy and I both nodded and left the classroom without any further conversation.

Once I knew we were far enough away from the dungeon I started talking to Teddy.

"Do you have any idea what Harry is going to say?!"

Teddy laughed, "I can only imagine. Hey, let me tell him!"

I nodded, "Okay, but I get to tell Ginny."

We turned and faced each other, shook hands, and simultaneously said, "Deal."

We started walking again, "Hey Ted?" I started, "Can I ask you a question?"

He nodded, "Shoot."

"How do you think he knew I was a… you know?"

Teddy laughed, completely ignored my question, "Addi, it's a very simple word. Met-a-mor-ph-magus. Can you say that?"

I shook my head, "No, Teddy, seriously, how do you think he knew?"

Teddy shrugged, "How should I know? You know Addi, I don't get why you won't tell people. The whole reason you were placed with my family is because you are a Metamorphmagus."

I sighed, "We've been over this before Teddy! I don't want things to change."

Teddy shook his head, "You make no sense to me, Ad."

As we reached the Great Hall I decided to change the subject. "What do you think the note says?"

He shrugged, "I dunno, do I? Come sit with us today," he added after a pause. I wrinkled my nose, but followed Teddy to the Gryffindor table without complaint.

As I sat down no one really paid me any attention. I'd been sitting at the Gryffindor table at least three times a week since first year. Teddy had only ever made one appearance at the Slytherin table.

A few first years turned to look at me, but they quickly turned away under my gaze.

When I glanced down the table I saw Marguerite, who waved happily at me. I waved back as Teddy began a conversation with some of his friends. Charms class was nothing special. I'll write soon! Cheers!

Love From,

Addi Jae

Dear Diary,

Today was a busy day for mail. I have one letter from Ginny and one letter from Andy. Teddy also has one from Andy as well as one from Harry. I'll copy that first.

Teddy,

Draco Malfoy as a Professor!? I never thought I'd see the day. Don't be too hard on him though, Teddy. He's had a rough time… He also has a son Albus's age and we don't want him going too hard on my kids (because he probably will). Give him a chance and don't be afraid to be a kiss up.

How are things at school? From what I can tell you've got a pretty busy upcoming year.

I'll talk with you soon!

Cheers!

Harry doesn't sign his name, he never has (as far as I know) and I don't think he ever will. Ginny says it's paranoia left from the war.

I was both surprised and irritated when Harry didn't mention the letter.

Surprised because I thought it would be something about Teddy or I. Irritated because I had started to read the letter and had it taken away from me by Teddy. I bet he read it later though. Maybe not. All I know is that the first two sentences are an apology. I'm guessing the rest is as well.

On to the letters I got…

The first was very short from Ginny and it made me very nervous and anxious for the one coming from Andy.

Addi Jae,

Martin and Kristina Brooke. Expect a letter from Andy.

~Ginny

Within 5 minutes of that I had a short (but important) letter from Andy in my hands.

Addi,

I can't say I was completely surprised when Ginny showed up to talk to me. It was bound to happen eventually.

She said she would give you the names, but just in case, here they are. Martin and Kristina Brooke. I also have an address and a telephone number, here they are…

26 Morraine Road

Kent

England

07775

555-6248

Something tells me that, as you're reading this, you feel guilty.

She was absolutely right. That's the thing about Andy, she reads me like a book. (Only my emotions, actually.)

I want to tell you not to. I don't mind. Send them a letter or give them a call. Not until you're ready, of course, but don't hesitate because of me. I love you, write me soon.

Andy

And so now I know their names… Martin and Kristina. Which means, technically, my name should be Addison Jae Brooke.

Now I sort of wish I had a picture… If I decide to write to them it'll probably have to be through Muggle post, which I have no idea how to use. And none of my friends are Muggleborn, so I'll have to check with Teddy's. Not that any of that is really important… It's just me trying to avoid the question… Should I write to them?

A huge part of me is saying yes. What do you have to lose? Maybe they want to hear from you? Maybe they'd be thrilled.

Another (probably smarter) portion of my brain is saying no. They may not care about me at all. Harryt IiiiiiMaybe they want to forget me. Maybe they don't want to be associated with freaks.

So what am I supposed to do…? I'll go ask Teddy. Cheers!

Love From,

Addison Jae Tonks

9:56 pm

Dear Diary,

I've just spent the last hour or so talking to Teddy and Victoire. Fat load of help he was…

*****

I ran down the steps in my dorm with a library book in my hands. It was my cover story, 'I need to return this book by the end of the night!'

I skulked through the corridors leading to Gryffindor Tower without being caught.

My problem was that once I got there I didn't know the password.

"Can you let me in please?" I pleaded with the Fat Lady.

She shook her head, "No can do. Now if you happen to have a password then I–"

I cut her off with a groan, "For the tenth time I don't have a password! I just want to get in to see my brother!"

The Fat Lady didn't comment so I decided to sit outside the portrait and wait for someone to come along and open it.

Finally, after about ten minutes I heard someone approaching. I crossed my fingers, hoping it was somebody I knew. And, lucky for me, it was. Though the person who approached me could've given me a detention if he'd chosen to.

"Out of bed, Miss Tonks?" I looked up and met Neville's eyes. I gave him a sheepish grin.

He chuckled, "Let me guess– you're waiting to speak to Teddy, but you need a password to get in."

I nodded, looking down.

"Well then," Neville said, "I should probably let you in before someone comes along and you get into trouble."

I looked back up at him and grinned, "Really?"

Neville nodded and held up a finger insinuating one minute. I back away from the portrait so I wouldn't hear the password. (Though I 'accidently' heard it anyway. It's 'cornish pixie') When the portrait opened Neville ushered me inside. Before letting me go he looked me in the eyes and said, "Don't tell anyone I let you in, and be back in your Dorm by ten.

I nodded and told him thank you as I made my way inside. Once I looked around the common room I noted that I had several people staring at me.

I didn't pay them any mind as I spotted Teddy and made my way over to him. He was sitting with Victoire, Marguerite, Robert, and a few other boys from his year.

I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around completely shocked. "How'd you get in here, Addi?" Teddy asked, not masking the surprise in his voice.

I laughed, "It's nice to see you too."

He doesn't comment, just says, "Really Ad, how'd you get in!?"

I grinned at him, "I have my ways."

I heard him mutter, "Slytherin." Then, at normal volume, he said, "Whatever, what do you want?"

"I want to talk to you." I told him, rolling my eyes.

"Okay," he said, "Talk."

"Alone, please?"

"Why?" he asked me, "What's going on?"

"Nothing's going on," I told him, "I just want to talk!"

He sighed, "Just tell me what you want! I'm in the middle of a game!" I looked down for the first time and noticed he was indeed playing wizard's chess.

"C'mon Teddy," I groaned, "you can play chess anytime."

"What could possibly be so important that you had to come find me in my common room after hours? Addi, is everything alright at home?"

I nodded, "Everything's fine at home, but I… I asked Ginny to talk to Andy and get the names for me."

His eyes bulged, "You didn't!" He exclaimed, standing up from his chair. Teddy grabbed my hand and pulled me away from his friends, telling Victoire to take his place in the chess game.

"Addi, why?"

"Well, I was just curious, I mean… it's only names."

Teddy shook his head, "If it was only names you wouldn't of had Ginny asked, you would have asked for yourself."

I nodded, knowing he was right. Teddy sighed and shook his head, "Look Ad, I know you didn't come looking for a lecture, what did you want?"

I hesitated before replying, "I wanted to know if you think I should contact them?"

Teddy raised one eyebrow (a talent I've never been able to master), "I thought you only asked for names?"

"I did and that is what Ginny sent. Andy sent me an address and a phone number as well as her blessing."Teddy nodded, "If Grandma–" (what Teddy calls Andy– for obvious reasons) "–sent you all that without being asked then I say go ahead and contact them."

"Well, actually-" I replied, looking down, "that isn't what was stopping me from talking to them." I admitted.

Teddy gave me a puzzled look, "Then what is?"

"Honestly?" I said, "I'm not sure they'll want to hear from me.

"Why not?" Teddy asked sincerely. I answered with all of the same reasons I previously wrote here. Once I was finished Teddy replied, "Addi, if they don't want to hear from you because you're a witch they're insane."

I shook my head, "Harry's family didn't like him because he was magic."

"That was different," Ted argued.

We continued on like this for another 20 minutes until Teddy finally convinced me to write them a letter. Just as I was about to leave he said, "Hey Addi? Can I ask you something?"

I nodded, "Are you kidding? After having me whine at you for half an hour? Of course."

He rung out his hands, "What are their names?"

"Oh," I said, taken aback, "Martin and Kristina Brooke."

He looked at me and muttered, "Addison Jae Brooke. It fits, you know… kind of."

I nodded, "Yeah, it does… kind of."

And just as Teddy began to go back to his friends I muttered 'thank you' and pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back and then quickly pulled away. I laughed and dragged him back to the table where we'd left his friends playing.

As soon as we got back Victoire jumped up from her seat. "Is everything alright?" She asked, glancing between me and Teddy, though her eyes lingered on Teddy.

"Everything's fine." Teddy said, "Addi just needed my advice, that's all."

Victoire nodded, excepting his answer.

"Hey Victoire?" I asked, as a wave of inspiration hit me.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Can I talk to you… alone?" I added, glancing at Teddy.

She nodded, "Sure." I pulled her aside, glancing at my watch. It was 9:13; I still had about 30 minutes to talk before I needed to leave and be back in my dorm.

"What's up Addi?" she asked after we reached an empty area. "First you talk to Teddy by himself and now me."

I shook my head, "I was just talking to him about my parents. No big deal, I want to talk to you about something different."

She nodded, "Go ahead."

And without thinking I dove right into it. "You like him, don't you?"

"I– what– who?" Victoire stuttered. I laughed, "Teddy! Who else?"

Her eyes went wide, "What are you talking about, Addi?" she questioned, feigning innocence.

I laughed, "You're a terrible liar, Vic." I told her.

She looked at me with pleading eyes, "Please don't tell him Addi! Please!"

I decided to freak her out, just a little. "But he's my brother, Victoire; I can't keep secrets from him…"

"Addi, please! I'll never be able to live it down! I'll do whatever you want!" she exclaimed at me loudly.

I laughed, "Relax, Vic! I'd never tell him! Our little secret, okay?"

She nodded and then hit me on the arm… hard. "Ow, Vic!" I exclaimed.

"Don't scare me like that!" she screeched. As I laughed she said, "No wonder you're a Slytherin."

We continued on like that until it was time for me to go. I bid everyone goodnight and made it back here to my dorm.

Now I'm simply sitting here marveling at the fact that Victoire likes Teddy. I'm going to get ready for bed, I'll write the letter to my parents soon.

Love From,

Addison Jae Tonks
