Chapter 10

Zabrina was walking down the hallway when she saw Hermione on the ground. She ran up to her. There was a mirror in one hand, and a crumpled piece of paper in the other. There were a few paragraphs about the basilisk, and the word "pipes" was written on the sheet. She crumpled the paper and placed it back into Hermione's hands and ran to Professor Snape's office.

She went back to the Common Room and sat on her seat. The basilisk was a giant snake, and could kill its victims by just having eye contact. What did this have to do anything with Hermione? They didn't learn about this creature in class. Maybe she wanted to do more research? No, she was too busy being Harry and Ron's friends. Harry had a bad reputation ever since he revealed that he could speak Parseltongue, which made everyone think he was the next heir of Slytherin, which leaded up to being his fault for anything related to the Chamber of Secrets. Ron and Hermione would be too busy trying to help Harry, who would definitely want to do something about the Chamber. So what does the Chamber of Secrets have to do with the basilisk? What does pipes have to do with anything?

"Lupin!" Draco called.

"What?"

"What were you thinking about? I called you two times and you still couldn't hear me. What are you, deaf?"

"Really? Oh, I was just…"

"You're not worried about the Chamber, are you?"

"No, I'm not worried about that. I'm just wondering what the Professors will do about it."

"Relax Lupin. Who would've known Zabrina Lupin was such a-"

"Draco, if you say another word I'll personally bury you in the Quidditch field."

"Ouch," Draco made a hurt face. "You know you certainly have a thing for threats, don't you?"

"At least mine are better than yours," Zabrina replied.

"Nonsense," He leaned back on the couch. "My father will-"

"-hear about this. Yes, we know," Zabrina rolled her eyes.

Zabrina didn't notice much of a difference for the next few days, besides that Harry and Ron were now more serious than ever.

"Harry!" Zabrina didn't know what's gotten into her.

Harry turned around, a little startled to see Zabrina actually staring a conversation with him.

"There's a piece of paper in Hermione's hand," She panted. "You'll probably need it."

"Um…gee…thanks," Harry said awkwardly.

"Yeah," Zabrina still panted. She swore she's never going to run again. "You can go now."

The two Weasley twins saw this, and stood next to Zabrina.

"Blimely, George. Did you see what I've just seen?"

"I never knew Zabrina talked to Gryffindors."

"I never knew she talked to anyone outside of Slytherin."

"It's just helping," Zabrina said.

"Ah yes, but you see, this is the heir of Slytherin we're talking about."

"Ah now this makes sense. You're helping out Harry because-"

"You think he's the heir of Slytherin as well?"

"No," she rolled her eyes and left the two Weasleys.

She found Daphne in the Great Hall, having dinner, and Zabrina was about to join when she spotted Blaise sitting next to her. She decided to let Daphne enjoy her heaven. She sat a little far away from her normal seat. Draco Malfoy came in with his gang, and sat in front of Zabrina.

"Why aren't you with Greengrass?" Draco asked.

"I thought I'd sit here today."

"Why, because you want to admire me as you eat? Honestly Lupin, stop-"

"My mistake. It was a terrible decision. I'm off."

"Hey, I'm not done yet. Sit."

Zabrina had to sit because Crabbe and Goyle were going to force her to anyways.

"So do you think Potter and Weasel are gonna save the day?"

"Maybe," Zabrina said as she moved a little so a first year could sit next to her. "Do you?"

"Of course not," Malfoy said. "They'll get attention, but not be heroes or anything."

Zabrina saw the first year trying to reach for either the sandwiches or the chicken. She pointed at the chicken and looked at the kid. She nodded. She moved the plate closer to her.

"Thank you," She said shyly. "This is the second time you've helped me out this year."

"By passing you food?" Zabrina raised an eyebrow. "I mean, your welcome, but...okay."

Harry Potter did save the day after all. Gryffindor got last-minute House Points thanks to Harry and Ron, and eventually won the House Cup. Draco was wrong, but denied it every time. He complained again about how stupid this whole thing was, and that Dumbledore was just giving points out because he liked Potter. Zabrina rolled her eyes as she got out of the cart. She ran into her dad's arms and explained to him what happened during the whole year, even though he already knew every detail.

She wrote to Daphne over the summer, and stayed at her house a week before September because of Lupin's transfiguration. Daphne's parents were overjoyed to see Zabrina for the first time, and treated her almost like royalty. Daphne parents bought Zabrina and Astoria, Daphne's sister, their new school supplies.

After a short farewell with the Greengrass family, the three girls stepped into the train and went to go find an empty cart. Zabrina left the sisters to find Draco, and she found him in the same cart as last year. Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson were in, too. Zabrina sat next to Draco as the he began to talk about his summer.

Draco's parents went to another European country over the summer. Draco met two very famous wizards Zabrina had never heard of before, and ate dinner with them twice. Listening to Draco's tale made Zabrina's summer seem fantastic. Draco had to stay with his family and family only, which only meant he was with adults the whole time. No friends, cousins, or even distant relatives came along, but Draco seemed very proud of the adults with the same surname as his, especially his father. He did grow a lot over the summer. He got rid of that disgusting shiny hair, much to Zabrina's relief, and was now taller than Zabrina. His attitude was exactly the same, however, and was still obnoxious as ever. They spent the whole ride listening to Draco.
