A Harry Potter Fan fiction

I don't own Harry Potter

-Where Is The Love?–

I take a shower and walk in the kitchen to find Malfoy leaning against the counter drinking coffee and reading the Daily Prophet. He looked different and yet still the same. What had changed in him? He looked less evil than the last time I saw him although I doubt he was less evil considering who he rolls with. He looks up from the paper and at me who was now openly studying him.

"Morning. There's extra in the pot." He says pointing a finger to the pot on the counter next to the fridge. I was tempted to take some, but then I also didn't want to take anything from him.

"Sorry I don't drink coffee." I lie getting my breakfast ready of cereal and sit at the small dining room table to eat when he joins me at the table. "Malfoy." I say annoyed.

"I know we started off on the wrong foot before but I really want to be different. I wanted to start this year off on the right foot this time."

"We've started off on the wrong foot every year since I've met you. Fifth year you glared at Potter we argued. Last year we argued at Madam Malkins you break Potter's nose and I punched you in the face."

"Potter?" He says shocked. "Since when was he Potter to you?"

"When he turned his wand on me he became Potter." I say coldly abandoning my breakfast and go up to my room, slamming the door shut. I can't believe I told Malfoy that. I haven't told anyone. I've been calling him Potter for a while now, it started that night he hurt me. But why did I tell Malfoy what he did? I wait a few minutes before returning downstairs to find that my dishes were taken care of and there was a warm chocolate chip muffin waiting for me on the table. I look around, he must have left. I take the muffin and head out to the Great Hall. Once there I go to McGonagall for my class schedule.

"Good morning Miss Dumbledore."

"It's Noel Professor." I say as she hands me my schedule and I walk over to sit next to Thomas. "Hey where's Lisa?"

"Gone. Her parents didn't want her to return to school so they moved to live with a relative."

"Thomas I'm so sorry." I say patting his back.

"That's okay. We broke up this summer. She wanted me to come with her but I told her no and that's why we broke up. I couldn't leave because my little sister Annabell was starting at Hogwarts this year but she was making me choose before her and Anna and I chose Anna."

"You have a sister? How come I didn't know? Which house is she in? Why didn't she sit with us on the train?" I ask.

"She's in Gryffindor. You weren't paying attention that much on the train or the ceremony. Look over there." He points to a little girl at the end of the table talking cheerfully to a boy next to her.

"She is so cute! Nothing like you when I first met you. Actually she reminds me of me and the boy next to her reminds me of you."

"I noticed that. That's why I get along well with you I guess, you remind me of Anna." He shrugs taking a sip of his drink.

"Can I meet her?" I ask.

"Sure why not. Annabell!" Thomas calls to his sister who looks at us. We waves her over. She gets out of her seat and walks over and I get out of mine. "Anna this is Noel."

"You are such a cutie." And I hug the little girl, surprising her. After she gets over her initial shock she hugs me back.

"Okay Noel you can let her go so she can eat her breakfast. Noel don't suffocate her. Noel!" Thomas says urgently.

"Okay okay I hear ya." I let the little girl go. "If your big brother gives you any problems or if any body gives you any problems you call me okay and I'll kick their butts for you."

"Thanks Noel." She says and returns to her seat and I return to mine.

"What?" I ask as Thomas shakes his head. "What Thomas?"

"Nothing. I have to go to Potions. I'll see you later."

"I have…" I look at my schedule. "Dark Arts? I guess Dark Arts." We get up and leave the Great Hall.

"Hello seventh years." Carrow says at the beginning of class. "My name is Professor Amycus Carrow and welcome to Dark Arts." No defense, no against, just Dark Arts. I thought it was a typo but it wasn't. I look at Neville anxiously before turning back to the front. "It seems like the Professors before you, under the rule of your old Headmaster, were set to teach you to defend yourselves against the Darks Arts. Using it makes you evil blah blah blah. That is nonsense. Forget everything that your teachers and parents have ever told you about Dark Arts because in this class you will learn Dark Arts, you will control Dark Arts, and you will feel the power Dark Arts can give you. I will teach you Dark Arts." He says. "So today we will be working on the Imperius Curse."

"We learned about it already." Neville mutters under his breath.

"When?" I ask. I learned about it in my third year. We didn't really go deep into it, because they don't call it dark and unforgivable for nothing, but we went deep enough to have a general understanding of it.

"Fourth year." Neville replies and I raise my hand.

"Yes?" Amycus asks.

"Sir the Imperius Curse was already taught to us. There's no sense in re-teaching it to us."

"You learned how to fight against it, but never to use it. I will need two examples you will be one Dumbledore and Mr. Malfoy will be the other." I shoot Malfoy a glare before walking to the front of the class. So much for starting off on the right foot. "Okay Mr. Malfoy you will be placing Dumbledore under and Dumbledore will let him."

"Fine." I say standing and waiting. Malfoy looks at me a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He was nervous? Why would he be nervous for? I should be nervous. I haven't had the spell performed on me for a while and the person who casted it against me basically was a wimp. It was really easy fighting off the curse then, but it might not be easy with Malfoy.

"Mr. Malfoy point your wand at her and say 'Imperio' and remember that you have to feel it." Amycus says with a faint smile growing on his face. I bet he was enjoying this.

"I know." He drawls and points his wand at me. Flickers of Potter fills my head. His cold green eyes with his wand pointed right at me like he was ready to attack me. 'Next time I won't stop at blasting you across the room' echoed in my head and my head starts to throb. He was going really to attack me! His god sister. Me! Potter was going to do it.

"Now Mr. Malfoy." Amycus barks awakening me from my attack.

"Alright! Don't push me." Malfoy says. "Imperio." I feel the spell hit me and the floaty and safeness that came with it.

"Sing a song." Malfoy's voice was soft and not anything like his real voice. I liked this voice better but my instinct told me not to obey him because this was Malfoy.

"No." I say.

"Enough Mr. Malfoy. I'll show you how to properly do it." Amycus says probably wanting to show up Malfoy and the spell is lifted. "Imperio." My mind retaliates against him instantly leaving Amycus holding no power over me. Malfoy grins. That's right, he grinned.

"Sir, she isn't succumbing to your spell." Malfoy says.

"Obviously. He's the teacher. I'm surprised he couldn't tell himself." I say smugly.

"CRUCIO!" the spell breaks replaced by the Crucio Curse and shit it hurt, like my blood was on fire. I stumble forward a bit but remain of my feet, glaring at the man, silent. He wouldn't let up even after ten minutes when I stumble forward again and lean against a table. Just stop already! It's been ten minutes but it feels like ten years! I hear gasps but that doesn't matter. I just want it to stop.

"Professor." Malfoy says grabbing his arm and the spell releases. I slump forward on my hands, breathing heavily. If Malfoy hadn't of stopped him, I might have crumbled.

"Ten points from Gryffindor. I told you let him curse you." What kind of person would willingly let another person curse them? It's not my fault. "Twenty points to Slytherin for helping a classmate. Brown help Dumbledore to her seat. Useless wizard." Lavender gets up to help me but I stand up straight on my own and glare defiantly at Amycus who widens his gaze at my ability to be able to stand up on my own. That goes to show that he underestimates young wizards and witches.

"You're the useless wizard if you can't successfully Imperio an underage wizard and you take out your rage on the student for being able to fight it off your wimpy excuse for a curse." I say. "Even Malfoy's curse had more of an effect on me than yours, so I guess you weren't 'feeling' it enough."

"That's going to cost you one week of detention and a trip to the Headmaster. Leave my classroom this minute!" He orders. "NOW!"

"Gladly." I say going to my desk and gather my books and bags and exit the class. Instead of going to the Snape's office, I head off to the common room, to catch up on my reading.

"Noel that was really stupid." Ginny says as we hung out by the lake with Neville, Thomas, Anna, Anna's friend from this morning named Ryan, and Luna.

"You must have been really brave going against your teacher like that." Anna says in awe.

"Going against your teacher is very bad. You shouldn't do that unless you're older and your name begins with an N." I say.

"Yes!" Neville says.

"And a girl." I add.

"Darn." He curses. "I was one appendage away from being able to go against my teachers." We laugh.

"You guys are missing the point." Ginny says.

"I think Ginny is becoming our next Hermione." Neville says.

"I'm not Hermione!" Ginny says glaring at Neville and throws a handful of popcorn at him.

"Well you aren't Ron or Harry cause you aren't a guy and you can't be Noel because Noel is here. Even if she wasn't here you wouldn't be her because you aren't as reckless as she is." Neville points out.

"Which is a bad thing for younger people whose names don't begin with N." I say to the youngsters.

"You guys are going to have a bad affect on my younger sister and her friend. We have a girl with a short temper, a girl who is a bit of an airhead who likes to say a lot of things that people don't know what she's even saying, a boy who is forgetful and constantly needs help on his work, a girl who think it's fun to taunt her teachers and likes dangerous situations, and me who will be her over protective brother."

"When you say it like that of course it looks bad but your sister and friend will have the best older siblings to look up to than any other first year in this school, and if she gets more friends then they will too." I say handing the kids a bar of chocolate each. "I think they're lucky and all the other runts will be jealous."

"You are so cool Noel." Anna says. "I wanna be just like you when I grow up." Thomas groans.

"Please don't say that." Thomas says.

"Yeah especially since she gained herself a total of THREE weeks of detention in one day!" Ginny says. That's right not one, not two, but three. Three weeks…on the first day!

"That must be some kind of record." I laugh.

"It's not one to be proud of." Ginny says.

"I don't know. I'm kind of proud of it." I shrug.

"Although it won't beat Ron and Harry's record because in second year they were already in trouble before the opening feast." Neville says.

"How she'd get from one week to three before dinner?" Thomas asks Ginny.

"I heard about the one from her DA class from Lavender Brown, then she got another week for not reporting to Snape's office, and then another week in her Muggle Studdies where she pulled a guitar from her bag and started singing 'Where Is The Love' by the Black Eyed Peas, then she started explaining with poster in hand how the 'bad guys' with 'A.K.A. Death Eaters' in big letters sparkled rainbow glitter all over the place under that saying that they were just like the muggle bad guys. Then she did and encore of the song on Alecto's desk shooting fireworks out of her wand."

"That was Awwwwsumm!" I say.

"That wasn't. She shouldn't be so reckless! It's dangerous and I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I should because that's all I have left Ginny!" I say to her angrily dropping my popcorn and stand up. "Mione's gone! Ron's gone! I don't really care that Potter's gone but I am here! Who is supposed to take a stand against these new teachers with them gone! Me that's who! Now I wouldn't be here if they hadn't of left all of us on our own going off on their adventure. I wouldn't have been here if Hermione and Ron had stopped Potter from saying those things to me, from doing those things to me but I am here and I am going to do the best I can to go against the new teachers. I'm here okay and…" I pause. "…I'll take care of you guys." That part I mumble. Ginny goes red. There I go, blurting off the first thing that comes to mind. I'm really stupid.

"So cool." Anna says.

"You shouldn't have to carry this burden alone. We can help you if you let us. You in guys?" Neville asks.

"I'm in." Luna says airily.

"Me too." Thomas says.

"Fine I'm in too." Ginny says.

"Me too!" Anna says.

"No you're too young. You'll be focusing on your homework." Thomas says. Anna crosses her arm and sticks her tongue out at Thomas who only ruffles her bangs.

I arrive at the DADA now just DA classroom at seven sharp for detention.

"Enter." I walk in to find Amycus and Alecto standing in the middle of the classroom. "Our little troublemaker." He says.

"What is it you want me to do?" I ask calmly.

"Well we don't have anything special for you tonight because it's only the first day of school but we can't let you go away unpunished for making us look bad." Alecto says with an evil grin on her face. I wanted to wipe that grin right off her face. Besides she doesn't need me to make them look bad. Without warning they had their wands in their hands pointed at me.

"CRUCIO!" They shout together and I collapse to the floor, withering painfully. It was worse than earlier and regretfully, I couldn't hold in the scream that escaped from my mouth. Couldn't someone hear me? Someone in this castle should be able to hear my screams. Someone? Anyone? I clench my fist and dug my nails into my palm until I could feel something wet on my fingers, must be blood. They finally lift the spell when I was on the edge of consiousness but could still feel the burning pain shooting through my body.

"We will not tolerate disobedience in our or any class from you Dumbledore. This is a warning. You may leave, we will continue this tomorrow." I could feel myself stand up and stumble my way around until I fall into a pair of warm long arms.

"Noel? Are you okay? What happened to you?" It was Snape. I push away from him.

"Murderer." I growl and lean against the side of the corridor before sliding down to sit then lay on the floor. Minutes later I'm lifted off the floor, gently carried away, and am laid on a bed. "I'm sore."

"I know. You need to rest." Someone says soothingly. Who is that? Who? "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

"Thank you." I say. That voice sounds so familiar, I thought before uneasily drifting off to sleep.

Poor Noel, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right??? Althought three curses in a day really is a lot. Plenty sorry's to her. P.S. Do not own Where is the love song, the black eyed peas do.

Also introducing Thomas's little sister Annabell (Anna for short) and her friend Ryan to Gryffindore! Yay to siblings.
