You're mine
Okay, like all of my stories, this one is probably going to suck, but please just read it anyway. And review. Geez, it only takes like 30 secs of your time. Ta
Disclaimer: J.K. is the smart one who made up the characters (except a few of my own) not me, but I'm kicking myself for it…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sorting was uneventful, except there seemed to be fewer students. This was understandable as not many people wanted a werewolf, an ex-convicted criminal, a man who used to be dead, and the man who killed him teaching their children.
"Welcome everyone." Albus Dumbledore's voice flooded through out the room. "I know that you are all very hungry so I will only speak for a few moments. Thanks to our very own Harry Potter, we now can feel more secure as Lord Voldemort is no more." The hall erupted into applause. Harry tried to hide himself behind Ginny's hair, and Ron looked sour. He did after all, help quite a bit. "Hush, hush. Now, just a few announcements. I would like to welcome back Professor Lupin, who will once again be teaching Defence against the Dark Arts. I would also like to welcome Professor Black, who will be substituting for Professor Lupin-and any other teachers if he needs to-. Mr. Filch has posted a list of all banned items on his door, if you have any queries. Now, tuck in."
As the food appeared everyone was confused.
"Doesn't Dumbledore normally do longer speeches?" Ron asked.
"Yeah. And the fact that there's no more Voldemort would have made it longer wouldn't it?" Harry asked.
"Yes, but he is depressed isn't he?" Hermione told them. "I mean, it's not like he wanted to be resurrected. He believes if you die, then you should stay like that."
"Spose." Said Ron, with a mouthful of mashed potato.
"Is he always like that? I thought it was just to annoy his mother." Lluvia asked.
"What? His disgusting eating habits? No, he's always like that." Hermione said.
"Charming."
"So, we can have anything we want?" Abeille asked in amazement.
"Yeah. Why?" Harry asked curiously.
"I've just never had, let alone seen this much food."
"Oh. Yeah, I've been there. I mean, I've saw the food before, I just never could have had it."
"Oh."
"How come you never saw this much?" Ron asked.
"Well it was just mum and me. Sometimes she brought a friend over, but still it was no big thing. We didn't have much money."
"Didn't Sirius have to pay child support?" Harry asked.
"They don't have that in the wizarding world." Hermione hissed at him.
"Sorry."
When everyone had eaten as much as possible, they were ushered off to their dormitories.
"What do we have tomorrow?" Ron asked, yawning.
"Well I have Defence Against the Dark Arts." Abeille said. Ron whooped. "Followed by a double free period, and then potions."
"That'll be interesting." Harry said.
"Why?"
"Well we have Lluvia don't we? He can't favour Slytherin's over his own family. He might even be civil."
"What would you say if I wasn't doing potions?" Lluvia asked. Everyone stopped.
"I'm just wondering! Geez. I'm doing potions, don't worry."
"Do we have a Hogsmead visit soon?" Harry asked.
"Next weekend." Abeille told him.
"How do you know all this?"
"I just do. And guys, you do know that Lluvia and I are in a year below you, don't you?"
"Oh yeah. Why?"
"Lluvia won't be in your potions class," she pointed out. "And I won't be in your DADA class. So you will have completely different classes to what we have."
Ron swore loudly.
They soon all went to bed, only to wake up late the next day. Hermione was the first up, looking at the time and swearing very un-Hermione-like. She woke the two girls up, who then changed and woke the boys.
Getting to the outside of the dormitory, they all went different ways. Harry had a free period, which he decided to practise Quidditch (A/N ditto the thing about spelling). Ron had Charms; Hermione had Ancient Ruins, and Lluvia and Abeille had the classes that their father's taught.
Harry, as he was half-way towards the pitch, realised two things. No one from his team had a free period and only Ron and Ginny still went to the school. He changed his plans and with Ginny in mind, he walked to the DADA classroom, thinking he might be able help out.
"Ah Harry! Wonderful." Professor Lupin called as he walked in. "Would you mind helping out and being Abeille's partner? We have an odd number of students."
"Sure."
"Thank-you. Now this year, we are going to be learning how to cast jinxes and things silently. Have you gotten up to this?" He asked Abeille. She shook her head, but remained confident.
"Just say if you need any help."
"Remus, she'll be fine." Sirius walked into the classroom. "Sorry I'm late. What's Harry doing here?"
"Harry apparently has a free period. He has agreed to help out."
"Oh. Well we better get stated then."
"Yes, I agree. Okay, the key to –as I like to call them- silent spells, is to see in your mind, the effect you hope will happen. You then scream the spell out in your mind, and then, hopefully the spell will work. For example," Professor Lupin waved his wand at Sirius –now Professor Black- and he suddenly stiffened, and fell. "Any guesses to what I did?"
A few people put their hand up, Ginny not being one of them. Harry couldn't understand why people didn't recognise that simple spell.
"Lula?" Professor Lupin asked.
"P-Pertrificus Totalus." She said nervously. These people reminded Harry of first years.
"Correct. 5 points to Hufflepuff."
Suddenly Professor Remus started to dance. He looked back to Professor Black who was just laughing at him, along with the whole class. Harry was about to undo it, just when Professor Lupin stopped.
"Thank-you Harry."
"I didn't do it." He said simply. Lupin looked at Black, who just shook his head.
"Who undid it?" he asked carefully. Abeille slowly put up her hand.
"Wonderful! Twenty points to Gryffindor. Why, I'd bet you'd give Miss Granger a run for her money." He exclaimed. Abeille looked pleased with herself, when Black smiled at her.
"Now, into your pairs and I would like you to place a Jelly Legs Jinx on your partner silently, and I would your partner to block it, also silently. Twenty points to the next person who can do it. Not including Harry of course."
Five minutes before the bell went; Lula finally blocked the Jinx and sent it back to the opposite person.
"Harry! A quick word please?" Lupin asked. "Okay, everyone, for homework I would just like you to practice some simple charms without speaking. Show me next class, and for the person who impresses me the most, there will be a special prize."
"Abeille!" Black called, and took her to the side and talked to her while Harry and Lupin talked.
"Harry, do you have a free period every time this class is on?"
"This one? Um, yeah."
"Fantastic. Would you mind coming and helping out most lessons? I know that you have your N.E.W.T.s this year, but if you could…"
"That would be great Professor."
"Excellent. Now, go and hurry to your class."
"I have lunch, and then this class."
"Wonderful. See you soon."
Harry walked out, seeing Abeille walking out as well.
"What'd Sirius, sorry, Professor Black talk to you about?"
"Oh. He just said how proud he was of me." She said smiling. "He's proud of me Harry! Me. Sirius said he was proud of me."
"Why wouldn't he have been? That was brilliant how you did that."
"Thanks."
"Come on, we have lunch."
"Kay."
Once at lunch, everyone started talking about their first subject.
"You know Charms is actually hard this year? It's really weird." Ron told the group.
"Ancient Ruins seems a bit useless now. I might see if I can change, I won't really need it to become a Healer, would I?"
"Potions is excellent. Snape said I have a talent. He also taught me a few pointers. He was so nice. But odd. I felt like I was the only one he was being nice to." Every one rolled their eyes at what Lluvia said.
"Sixth year is such a big jump. I mean, it's harder, but at least we don't have Snape teaching us like last year. Lupin is so much nicer." Ginny said.
"I agree that Lupin's nice, but it doesn't seem very hard. And I can't say anything about Snape."
"Hermione, you should have seen this girl in DADA. She was fantastic. She got the hang of silent spells automatically, undoing a tap-dancing Jinx." Harry said, giving Abeille a little squeeze. She started to feel a bit like his sister.
"It wasn't that good Harry." She said, going pink.
"Yes it was. You've got talent." Ginny told her. "And guess what everyone. Say hello to our own, Professor Potter."
Everyone looked at him.
"I'm just helping out in their Defence class. It's no big deal." He suddenly remembered about Quidditch. "Oh yeah, I need to organise Quidditch trials." He told everyone. "I might make them this weekend."
"Am I still in the team?" Ron asked.
"If you're good enough. Do you girls play?"
"Yes." Abeille and Lluvia said at the same time.
"Great. You should try out. What part?"
"Chaser." Lluvia said.
"Chaser or Seeker." Abeille said.
"Brilliant. We finally have a substitute for me and two new chasers. All we need now are the beaters." Harry said.
The bell rang and they all hurried off their classes. Lluvia and Abeille had a free period, going up to the Quidditch pitch to practice. Harry, Ron and Hermione had their first Potions lesson with Snape, ever since he met Lluvia, and they were all curious to how Snape would act to them.
"Sit." Snape told the class. Everyone sat.
"Now, this year is mostly about revising. You will be learning new potions, but very few. That does not mean that this year will not be a hard one. You will go past your limits in this class, or you will have to drop this subject."
Normally Snape's words would be harsher than this, but Harry was pretty sure he wasn't going to offer any prizes anytime soon.
Five minutes to the end of class, the door slammed open. Abeille and Lluvia walked in giggling. Everyone's attention was on them, wondering what the Potion's master would do.
"Excuse me girls, but don't you have a class you should be in?" He asked.
"Oh, no. We have a free period, and thought we might drop in and have a look at what 7th years do." Lluvia said.
"Very well. But kindly knock next time." He said to everyone's amazement.
"Sure." Lluvia said.
"Now that we have these two interruptions," Snape said, almost (almost being the major word here) smiling. "You may talk for the rest of the lesson. Homework will be to begin a booklet filled with every single potion we have made since your first year. It will be due at the end of the month."
Lluvia and Abeille went over to Ron, Hermione and Harry. They all hugged the two girls.
"Lluvia, you are the best. We thank-you for being born." Ron said, bowing.
"What about poor Abeille?" Someone asked from behind them. "Doesn't she deserve any credit?" They turned and saw that it Draco.
"Shove off Malfoy." Harry said.
"Gladly, but would I have the honours of Abeille joining me?"
"Yea-" Abeille started.
"No you won't. I think I told you to shove off though."
"And I think I was directing the question at the lady." Malfoy growled.
"She doesn't want to go with you." Harry said with a challenging tone.
"I think I can decide that, thank-you very much." Abeille told Harry, seeming rather annoyed.
"But Abeille, this is Malfoy. I know you don't really know him, but Sirius would have told you enough…"
"Yes he did, but I like to make my own decisions Harry Potter. You can stop with the protective-big-brother syndrome and just leave me alone."
"Sirius told me to look-"
"I KNOW! But I want to go with Draco. Let me tell you one thing, Harry. I will do anything to get what I want." Saying that, she turned around, grabbed Draco's hand and walked out. Snape was about to say something, but he saw Lluvia motioning him to stop.
"Harry, I know she's practically your sister, with Sirius being your godfather and all, but you just got to leave her alone for a bit. Join Ron's letting-go-of-your-siblings group. Ginny said he majorly needs to go." Lluvia told him.
"Fine, but if he lays one unwanted finger on her, then I'll just…" Harry muttered at himself, thinking of Jinxes and Curses that he could put on Malfoy.
"Potter! Come here!"
"What Malfoy?"
"I can't believe I'm even asking you, but it'll mean a lot to Abeille, so I was wondering if it was okay if I went out with her. To Hogsmead I mean."
"Why are you asking me? I'm not even related to her."
"Yes, but she looks up to you like her big brother. Potter, please just spare me the embarrassment, and say yes."
"Fine." He growled. "She seems to like you. But don't think that I'm going to like you anymore."
"Ditto. Thanks scar-face. Whoops, can't say that anymore can I?"
Harry rubbed the place where his scar used to be.
"Come on Harry, we have Defence." Hermione called out.
"See ya soon Harry." Lluvia called. Harry waved, before being squeezed by Abeille.
"Harry! Thank-you so much! You're the best brother ever." She then skipped off. Harry wondered if he would survive this year, what with all the people trying to kill his stomach.
"What did you do mate?" Ron asked.
"Let Malfoy take her out on a date."
"What? Like he asked you?"
"Yeah."
"Why would he ask you, but not Sirius?"
"It's Professor Black, thank you very much Mr Weasley, and ask me what?" They spun around to face Sirius, suddenly very scared.
"Nothing. Don't worry Sirius." Harry said.
"Now that you've said that, I'm worrying. Now, as a teacher I'm going to ask you to tell me: Who asked you what?"
"Sirius, please you'll have a fit and she's really happy about it and-"
"Wait? This is about Abeille? Harry, I swear you better tell me."
"Malfoyaskedmeifhecouldgowithabeilleonadatetohogsmeadandisaidyes."
"What? Harry, seriously, you talk way to fast."
Harry sighed and repeated it slower. He could feel Ron getting scared of Sirius, whose face showed more and more anger.
"Malfoy asked me if he could go with Abeille on a date to Hogsmead, and I said yes."
"WHAT? HARRY HOW COULD YOU?"
"Look, Abeille likes him and I'm pretty sure he likes her. I told him though if he hurts her the tiniest bit, then I'll kill him."
"I'll talk to her; see what potion he's used against her."
"Sirius, she's liked him since we went to Diagon Alley."
Sirius sighed. "Okay. Well I'm still talking to her. Come on, your already late."
Everyone was already firing spells at each other when the three came in.
"I was wondering where you had got to." Lupin said to them. "We're just going over what you did last year with Professor Snape. This is only a short lesson, so you better get in and start practicing."
The room was silent, except for the odd crash as someone flew through the air and hit the wall. Sooner then everyone wanted, the bell went for everyone to put there things away and go to dinner.
"Lluvia!" Sirius called as he saw her. Harry had a feeling he knew what he was going to talk to her about.
Harry saw his god sister, grabbed her by the arm and began walking to Gryffindor tower. "Look, Sirius knows about you and Malfoy."
Abeille sighed. "I knew he would eventually. Was he mad at me?"
"He was madder at me for agreeing to let you guys go out."
"Oh. Look Harry, I am so sorry I got you caught up in this."
"What? Are you crazy? I want to be caught up in this. How do you expect me to let my little sister get caught in the wrath of Sirius? Trust me; he can get pretty scary when he gets mad."
"I like the sound of that."
"What, Sirius getting mad? Are you insane?"
"No, me being you're sister. The only other family I've known other than Sirius was mum."
"We'll fix that. Everyone here is your family. Come on, I'm hungry." Harry dumped his stuff on the table and they climbed out of the portrait, and went off to dinner together.

Okay, I understand that chapter sucked, but I needed it for the story. Next chapter (hopefully) the real story and action will start. Again, reviews are very acceptable, and if none of the people who review like action or whatever, I won't put it in. Thank-you so much to the people who have already reviewed, I love you heaps, you all deserve chocolate brownies.
