Author's Note: Alright people. Here is the moment you've been waiting for. I am so sorry about the long awaited chapter. I just got back from band camp, and now I've got band camp at my school every day OUTSIDE in 90 degree weather, from 8 AM until 4 PM. At least I'm in the pit so I'm not marching! HAHA! So yeah, I won't be able to update as much. School starts in 25 days. Grrr….

Cheers to the……ONE person who got this right. (was it 1? I think it was...) -gives a cookie-

Vasya: Does that include me? –Innocent look-

BAH! Absolutely not. You don't know either, you non smart cookie. –sticks out tongue in annoyance-

Vasya: -evil glare- I hate you.

-pats Vasya's head- I know you do, deary.

Disclaimer: I don't own it. Just my mistakes, which according to two out of three personal friends I make many. OH WELL. That's what I get for being my own beta.


Chapter Ten

Bailey beamed and stood up, holding her hand out to Blaise as if she expected him to take it. He gave her a confused look. Bailey grinned and looked at Draco. "Dray, aren't you going to introduce me to them?" Draco laughed, and Blaise looked more confused than before.

"Scarlet Dragon, meet Alba Nera," Draco said laughing. Riley nodded as if it all suddenly made sense. Bailey smiled innocently at Blaise, desperately trying to hold back her laughter.

Blaise on the other hand, was frozen. "There is no way that this little twerp can be Alba Nera!" Blaise half shouted.

Bailey glared and hit him roughly on the back of the head. "I'm not a twerp, grandpa!" Riley and Draco snickered at this. Bailey was smirking, and Blaise was glaring. "For your information, I am Alba Nera," Bailey said as she crossed her arms, giving Blaise a defiant look. "You afraid of a little competition?"

"Competition?" Blaise asked laughing. "Sorry to break it to you Bay, but you are no competition."

"That's why my first concert sold out before the concert you had for the same day," Bailey smirked.

Blaise glared at her again. "Draco I'm sorry man, but I really hate your sister right now."

At that moment there was a sudden, incessant tapping at one of the windows. "I'll get it!" Bailey yelled, jumping up and running to the window. The owl flew directly over to Draco and dropped the letter on top of his head, before nipping at his ear and flying off. Draco unrolled the parchment the owl had left.

Mr. Malfoy,

It has come to my attention that Bailey Malfoy has come into your care. I understand that she went to a school in America that does not go past fifth year. If you think it would be good for her to continue her education at Hogwarts, then she is definatly welcome. Her presence might bring back a little life to Hogwarts that we have missed since your class left.

Please meet me in my office at 5 PM today if she is to attend. It has been connected to the flew network. Don't forget to bring Ms. Malfoy with you.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

"Alright kid, looks like you get to continue the Malfoy legacy at Hogwarts," Draco said laughing. Bailey shot him a confused glare, before snatching the letter out of his hands.

"Oh great, now I get to be stuck with the teachers that hated you? I'm your sister! What are they gonna do to me, Drake? Oh I know! I'll swear that there is no relation what-so-ever. Or maybe I could change my name! Or," Bailey ranted, before Draco gave her a firm slap on the back of the head. "Jerk," she muttered under her breath.

"Brat," Draco shot back.

"There will be no name-calling in this house in front of the baby!" Hermione glared at them all as she came down the stairs, after putting Dakota down for a nap.

"News flash," Bailey smirked. "Baby isn't in here. Unless you're counting Blaise," she mused.

"Draco I really hate your sister," Blaise growled.

"Oh will the both of you just grow up?" Hermione asked.

"NO!" Blaise and Bailey shouted, earning a glare from both Draco and Hermione.

"Shush! You'll wake Dakota. And that was supposed to be rhetorical," Hermione said again with a little more ferocity.

"Hermione dear," Draco said calmly in an attempt to cool the fire. "Dumbledore sent a letter saying that Bailey can attend Hogwarts this year."

Hermione's eyes lit up. "Excellent! That brings us down to three mouths to feed instead of five, since a teenager is technically like having two people."

Bailey glared at Hermione, looking very much like she wanted to rip her head off. "I don't appreciate being insulted."

Sensing danger, Draco quickly leapt in between the two glaring women. "Hermione, I know that look. Hurt Bailey and you'll be in big trouble. And Bailey," Draco said as he turned to his sister. He flinched at the death glare she sent him. "You have to listen to Hermione. She's my wife; your sister-in-law. Be nice," he said.

Bailey's eyes seemed to flash with anger. "She's not my mom, and as far as I'm concerned she's not family," Bailey seethed, as she walked out slamming the door behind her.

Blaise started to go after her, but Draco stopped him. "Let her go, Blaise. She'll come back. She always does," Draco said as he sighed and sank into the couch.

Bailey didn't come back this time, however. It was 4 PM and Draco decided it was time he went out looking for her, being as they only had an hour until the meeting with Dumbledore.

Draco walked through the streets for about ten minutes with no sign of his sister, when he finally came to a large pond in the middle of one of the parks he lived by. Not too far down the shore line of it, was Bailey skipping rocks across the surface. Draco didn't say a word as he sat down next to her. Five minutes past before the silence was broken.

"How can you expect me to listen to her or even respect her, Dray?" Bailey asked quietly.

"Bay, I don't understand why you don't. You've never met her until today; you have no reason to have anything against her."

"It's because I've never met her!" Bailey said angrily. "Drake I'm sorry I know she's your wife and all, but I can't just start taking orders from a person that I heard nothing but horrible things about for years. Not only that, but she's a woman, you know how I am with female authority figures."

"I know," Draco said quietly. "You've always been that way, thanks to mom. I understand that. What you need to understand is that you can't just say whatever you feel like to her, especially if it's disrespectful."

"She hates me!" Bailey said angrily. "I don't care what you think; she hates me. She hasn't given me a reason to trust her, and until she does I'm not going to." The two lapsed into a tense full silence.

Bailey glared at the water in front of her, before standing up angrily and throwing the rock in her hand as far as she could. Draco looked up at her, slightly startled at her outburst. "Bay?" he asked quietly.

"Everything's happening to me at once. I'm sick and tired of it!" Bailey said. "First I have to leave all my friends, then dad gets thrown into Azkaban, mom leaves me, I'm going to be put in a school and grade where everyone already knows each other, oh and let's not forget I'm stuck taking orders from my brother and someone I don't even know!"

They lapsed into another deadly silence, as Draco searched for something to say and Bailey simply sat with anger radiating off of her. Next thing they know they hear bells in the distance signaling the change of the hour. Neither moved for a moment. Finally, Bailey just sighed. "Come on let's go see this Albus guy," she said quietly. Draco nodded as they both ran back to the house, and Draco grabbed the flew powder for the both of them.


Author's Note: Did I ever mention this is NOT HBP compatible? No? Well it isn't. TEEHEE! Now to go back to my ska music that I'm so in love with at the moment. MUAHAHA. At least it won't put me to sleep, and let me tell you right now, I'm exhausted.
