Harianna was not surprised when Draco Malfoy finally turned up. Ron had warned her, that he had worked out that she was James Evans. And Ron ... was crap at lying. Well at least to those who knew him best. She had not expected Malfoy to turn up in the dead of night, bluntly drunk, whilst trying to hold her at wand point, when she answered the door to him.

'Just who are you,' he stuttered, loudly and Harianna was glad that she agreed Teddy could go to a sleepover, 'and what have you done with Harianna Potter?' he waved his wand around aimlessly, 'Because whoever you are ... you've done a damn good job of impersonating her!'

'Draco come in before you fall on your arse!'

'See,' Malfoy pointed a finger at her, 'This is what I mean - Potter would never call me Draco.'

'Malfoy come in, Now!' she said, 'You're drunk, you need to sober up.' she sighed, as she closed the door behind him, 'I'll make you some coffee, the kitchen is straight ahead. I don't want you out of my sight, god knows what you'll do.'

'It is I who doesn't want you out of my sight,' Malfoy slurred, 'Impostor!'

Harianna made Malfoy sit down, and turned on the kettle. She searched in one of the cupboards that she stored potions in, and found the hang-over potion she had been looking for. She placed a mug of coffee and the potion down before Malfoy and told him to drink.

'How do I know it's not been - been compri -comprised-'

'I think the word you're looking for is compromised!'

'Yeah, that,' Malfoy said, eyeing her in a suspicious manner.

'Malfoy, I can assure you I am not an impostor,' Harianna said.

'They all say that,' Malfoy said, 'If you're really Harianna Potter prove it!'

'My Patronus is a stag,' Harianna said.

'Ha!' Malfoy forced a laugh, 'everyone knows that -'

'Which Ron told me you saw, remember the day Hermione went into labour!'

'Right,' Malfoy said, 'Forgot that. But still, they can change -'

'To the exact shape and size? I think not,' Harianna said, 'Well at least I don't think so. But if you're still not convinced, I handed you back your original wand. And only the two of us know that.'

'Shit!' Malfoy said, 'You really are Potter.' and he took the potion she had placed down for him.

'Why would you think I wasn't?'

'Because,' Malfoy said, now taking a sip of coffee, 'the Masons - your parents-in-law, think that you are.'

Harianna stared at him, he had gone to see Richard and Carole - Fuck!

'How the hell do you know about them?'

'Well,' Malfoy said, sounding a lot soberer, 'I figured it out, why you came back. I know Potter. I know that your James Evans - don't deny it.' Harianna closed her mouth and he added. 'We both know Weasley is a pretty shit liar, to those who know him.'

'Yeah, he is.'

'So once I'd figured that out,' Malfoy said, 'It was a matter of putting everything else together. Weasley had said you got hurt on an old case of his. But I couldn't find it under your name - because I didn't know it wouldn't be under your name, see. I was looking for Potter but it was covered up because you used Mason.'

'You went into the archives!' Harianna said, 'but the file - that file doesn't state -'

'The females name - so I went in search of the guys' parents - you know Theo,' Malfoy had sobered up by this point, he gave her such a knowing look, 'your husband! Theo's parents confirmed everything. But when I asked about you -'

'They told you that I was dead,' Harianna said, finishing his sentence for him.

'So what happened?' Malfoy said, taking another sip out of the mug, 'Why do they think that you're dead.'

'I - we did it to protect them,' Harianna sighed, 'when Theo and I were taken, we were hijacked by two people. They used potions to put us in a sleep-like state, I reckon, because when we woke up - well I couldn't remember how we got there - into that room. Theo died first - they killed him right in front of me - about our third or fourth day there. The days sort of blended together, I lost all track of time-'

'They tortured you, didn't they?'

Harianna nodded, 'I - I was never the same after - went into a right state, wouldn't let anyone near me - it was Teddy who saved me. Having to look after him - best thing that could have ever happened to me.'

'How did you get out?' Malfoy said, 'I saw the photos, I gather you were chained.'

'I thought that he had just made an error: Jonas Selwyn,' Harianna said, 'He came in all cocky like tapping my wand into the palm of his hand.' she laughed in spite of herself, 'Stupid idiot, had my wand and he left the door open. They had charmed it, so even if I had got free of the chains - I would never have got out. They had put wards up so I couldn't even Disapparate.' she took a breath, 'Well I got my wand back - I cast a full body bind against the bastard and sent for Ron.'

'What happened next?'

'Well Jonas was put into a cell awaiting trial, and we didn't know who the other man was,' she said, 'and I didn't want to put Theo's parents at risk like I had him.' Harianna looked at him in the eye, 'It's rather easy faking your own death, it turns out. Bit of Draught of Living Death and well - they thought I was dead. Harianna Mason died alongside her husband due to a burglary went wrong.' she paused, 'Ron got me out, the day of the funeral, disguised as my cousin, we put an Invisibility Cloak over me - and I watched as they buried Theo alongside with an empty coffin. Turned out that Selwyn killed the other guy, they got into a little dispute over what they were going to do with me.'

'So you went back to using Potter?' Malfoy said.

'I only really used Mason in the Muggle world, and for legal documents,' Harianna said, 'I didn't want to drag him into my crazy life. It didn't matter though I still did. I got him killed.'

'It wasn't your fault,' Malfoy said, clutching at his head.

'Maybe you should lie down,' Harianna said, 'There's a spare bedroom ... you can stay here for the night.' Malfoy glared at her. 'It's your own fault you know - what were you thinking? Apparating while drunk! Coming here drunk,' Harianna laughed, 'Bloody hell if I was an impostor I could have beaten you easily.'

'Potter, quit it please,' Malfoy said, 'I wasn't thinking - OK - man my head hurts.'

'Don't look at me, you're getting no sympathy from me.'
