Chapter 14
Author's Notes: Hello everyone, once again it is time for my latest chapter update. I have been so busy the last couple of weeks that I could not get it out any sooner, so please forgive me on that one. In addition, I wanted to inform everyone that I will try to at least put my updates out within one to two weeks so that I can keep them current thank you.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling does; only a select few characters are from my own creation.
Chapter 14
Both twins were sitting down on their favorite sofa when Severus came inside with the Malfoys; the rest of their Slytherin friends were inside their guestrooms changing their attire to head outdoors to the lake to cool off from the summer heat.
Draco kept his eyes on Hally after he walked in with his father. "So I'm supposed to just let Weasley try something with you little Potter…"
"I told you that you I am not your property Malfoy, so lay off!" Hally exclaimed with an irritated sigh.
Harry gave Draco a slight glare, "Let her alone Malfoy. Besides it is up to Hal whether or not she wants anything to do with you….although at the moment I like her decision so far…"
"Connor that will be enough." Severus sighed while Lucius looked at his own son.
"Now Draco, give Miss. Potter some space here. We certainly would not want to frighten the girl away from you." Lucius commented
"In your dreams Blondie…."
"Enough Raven!" Severus almost shouted out, trying to keep some sort of peace between everyone.
"Fine," Hally simply said, turning her eyes from their view.
The main living parlor had become so quiet; that you could actually hear a pin drop onto its floor. Both men observed the three youngster's actions just before Severus broke the silence in the room.
"Since the competition is now over for another three to four years, why don't you and Connor go ahead and discuss what you both want at your birthday party here. We've already discussed what you two want at your second one." Severus suggested to Harry and Hally both.
"All right dad. Come on Snuffles." Harry grinned at the idea while and his twin sister Hally got to their feet to leave.
Hally turned towards Severus once more. "Why do we have to…"
"We've already went through with this discussion before Raven." Severus cut her off short with a stern look on his face.
"Yes sir." Hally sighed in defeat while following her big brother Harry out of the main living parlor.
Draco watched both of the twins leave, grinning evilly until he heard growling down at his feet. He looked down to find Snuffles growling at him in warning.
'Do not even think about it you little dirt sniffer!' Snuffles thought before trotting after Harry and Hally.
"Bloody dog is a menace." Draco commented after seeing the dog disappear from view.
"Perhaps, but he is keeping his eyes on Raven's well being while Connor is busy. Raven is becoming a handful." Severus stated, while sifting through his mail for anything important.
"A handful? I would say that she is more than a handful." Lucius replied
" I realize this Lucius. She has went through etiquette schooling and was tutored to act like a lady by the women professors at Hogwarts on the weekends during the school terms. I don't know what else to do to keep her in line." Severus explained truthfully.
"what she needs is a mother figure to guide her down the right path." Narcissa commented, cradling her newborn daughter in her arms.
"what mother would try to take on such a task?" Severus enquired
"I would be happy to do it." Narcissa volunteered
"You do not know what you are volunteering for Narcissa. The girl may try something when you least expect it." Lucius replied stiffly over the matter of Hally.
Severus looked up from his mail. "Raven knows to mind her manners Lucius, especially when it has something to do with her learning use proper manners as a young lady." Severus stated, keeping full eye contact on the blonde-man.
Draco intervened just then. "Your joking with us here aren't you professor?" He enquired the Potions Master.
"I'm afraid that I am not joking when it comes to Raven being serious. She has her moments yes, but she does know where her limits are." Severus pointed out
"But will she be polite to my wife while they are out of our presence?" Lucius questioned, his knuckles were white from gripping his cane so hard.
Severus sat back to ponder on the blonde-man's words before giving him an answer. "I believe that she would." He finally said "Even though her thoughts of your son is much to be desired, considering how they treat one another."
Draco sat upright suddenly. " Hey! I have every right to defend myself when it comes to those two!" Draco exclaimed with wide eyes.
Severus glanced over at Draco for a couple of minutes before dropping the subject.
Meanwhile the twins were sitting inside one of their hidden rooms discussing on what they wanted for their first birthday party when Snuffles decided to explore the room by nudging cabinets open with his nose.
Harry rested his hands on his knees. "What I don't understand is we are constantly inviting Malfoy...well dad has been making you invite him to our birthday parties, but he has never sent an invitation to either of us." Harry pointed out thoughtfully.
"I know Harry, but you know dad...He is my godson, no matter how much you both can't stand him; you will not go down to his level...honestly, you would think that he would give up on the jerk." Hally commented until she noticed smoke circling around her and Harry.
They both turned to find Sirius Black taking a long drag off a flavored cigarette.
"Ah, you never know what you miss in Azkaban until you find it." Sirius Black sighed in content.
"Well I see that it didn't take you long to find that stash." Harry commented with a snigger. Hally stifled a giggle.
Sirius Black looked at the two wearily. "All right what is wrong with this....,"
"Oh good gods relax! Harry was just teasing you. Those by the way are ours, even though we almost had gotten into trouble with dad finding that butt in the planterm it never came from us, and that isn't our usual brand...honestly black licorice flavored cigarettes...gross." Hally replied with a shudder.
"Yeah, parish the thought of us both getting into trouble with that kind." Harry agreed
Sirius narrowed his eyes, "Does Snape know about you two and these here?" He questioned them both.
"yes, but we believe that he thought we had black licorice ones in ours." Hally answered truthfully
"Not to mention that we can drink, but after our encounters in our first year, we both decided not to go that route." Harry added with a grin on his face.
Sirius simply looked from one twin to another. "Bloody hell I believe if your mother and father were alive you would have their hair turning grey before their time." he exclaimed at the two
Both twins merely laughed at him. "I wonder who would have went grey first." Hally giggled until they all heard footsteps heading their way.
"Shh! I'll check it out." Harry whispered as he quickly scrambled to see who it was.
He peered out to find Draco Malfoy going past them.
Harry walked back and sat down once more. "Only Malfoy, no one special." he simply said.
"Oh. Hey little squirt, there goes you boyfriend out there, better kiss him before he turns to dust." Sirius Black teased to Hally with a quiet chuckle.
Hally's face turned three shades of pink. Harry started sniggering at her.
"You are about to eat your words." Hally warned Sirius Black.
Sirius raised his hands up innocently. "Wasn't me that the little dirt sniffer snaked up on and kissed." He grinned
Hally slapped her forehead with the palm of her right hand. Harry started to cackle into laughter.
Hally turned her eyes to Sirius Black. "Make you last request right now, because you are about to wish you never brought that up." Hally told him
Sirius Black slapped his hand upon his chest, feigning pain. "Oh, she's going to tear me apart Harry! Woah, look out for her claws!" Sirius Black cackled out while laughing along with Harry.
Hally went to grab for their notorious godfather until Harry took a hold of her, making sure that she couldn't get harm the man.
"You are so gone! Let me go Harry James. He's going to be singing soprano very soon!" Hally cried out
"Hal, he was only teasing you..." Harry noticed that Hally had a little love bite just below her right ear.
"Oh my gods Hal! Who gave you that mark there?" Harry asked
"Um...." Sirius Black took one look and started laughing quietly once more. "Oh Yes! The little dirt sniffer gave her that after giving her a big snog there. Your sister practically melted to the floor that day." He laughed.
"I'm going to kick your arse!" Hally cried out, her face turning pink once more. She heard her own brother Harry tease her next.
"Malfoy and Hal, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Harry sung out
"HARRY JAMES THAT IS NOT FUNNY!" Hally practically yelled out, then gave Sirius Black such a slap that he could only lean back laughing harder along with her twin brother Harry.
"B-But Hal! Your supposed to p-punch him like you usually p-punch Ron when he tries something with you, not like it!" Harry cackled out
Hally crossed her arms, looking away from the two in silence.
"Aw, come on Hal. You know that we're just joking with you here." Harry grinned at her, trying to cheer her up fast.
"I know," Hally sighed quietly, then looked at the two. "I just don't want to think about what Malfoy did to me that day. He is a sneaky conyving snake that is a huge jerk." Hally added.
Harry sniggered once more. "Yeah, one that snaked you good." Harry cackled
Hally got to her feet. "I give up." she simply said, moving away from her brother and Sirius Black.
"All right Hal, we'll stop teasing you." Harry grinned at her
"Speak for yourself squirt! I'm kind of finding your sister's predicament very amusing." Sirius Black grinned from ear to ear.
"You would fur boy." Hally muttered under her breath
They all suddenly heard footsteps coming back before they heard tapping. "Great! Malfoy is looking for us now." Harry whispered while he and his twin sister watched Sirius transform back into their new pet.
Sure enough Draco Malfoy pushed his way into their one hidden room, looking around at their surroundings.
"The Bloody hell would you two want to come in here for when there is plenty of other rooms to choose from?" Draco questioned them
"To keep away from you." Hally blurted out her words, then noticed Draco grinning evilly at her
"So you say little Potter. Anyway, I'm here to let you both know that your father is wanting to speak to you both." Draco informed them
Both twins stretched their arms, yawned, and went to head out with Snuffles, Draco following behind them both.
Snuffles observed the twins along with Draco to see how well the three got along. He noticed the same thing being done with Harry and Malfoy, except that Hally's reaction towards Draco Malfoy was different. She hardly ever called him another name besides his own. An idea came to Snuffles head at that moment. He quietly thought of a way to keep both of the twins from finding out what he was up to and made a plot to go into the works.
MIDNIGHT
Hally had just woken up from a weird dream that came to her just a bit ago, gasping for air from jolting up from her sleep. She got up from her bed, paced the floor, and sat down in front of her vanity mirror after turning on her lights. She took a quick glance at her image in her mirror before taking another long look. There was another mark on the left side of her neck.
Draco walked down the hall whistling a tune with a grin on his face until he heard Hally let out a horrifying scream. He started to snigger as he went into his guest room, closing the door.
"Goodnight little Potter. A shame that your dog wasn't there with you this time." Draco cackled to himself triumphantly, looking up at the ceiling with an evil grin on his face.
