A/N: Hey! For Dragonrider97213: Can you please say that again? I think a part of the message got lost while it was posting, because I didn't really understand what you said. Anyway, here's a new chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 28: Books and attitude

As Draco requested, I wrote him a letter after I got the present. It wasn't much, but it still was something.

"Dear Draco,I got the presents from both you and the twins and from your mother, to whom I send my deepest thanks for connecting me to my mother and sending me memories from her more than anyone ever could till now and becuse the charm is very pretty and I can't wait too se the magical tatoo it brings. For you,what can I say? Thank you very much for the most unexpected gift I could ever have received. If there is something that no one could ever have expected, that is a Malfoy making team with someone from the Weasley family, but you three have done it for me, and that is something that I really am grateful for.Yours,Selene A. PovansP.S.: Sorry for the surname, but you can never know who reads this letter first. "

As I sent it, I opened my mind:

"I just sent you the letter we wanted. It should arrive this night.""Great. I'll wait for it then, and make sure my father doesn't get it first." His voice seemed happy, but my arms destroyed his plan: They were of such a dark blue that it was almost black."With me that doesn't work, and you know that.""What are you talking about?""Oh, really now, my arms are as blue as the trim of the Ravenclaw's robes. You can't hide. Whats bothering you? ""Well, I just realized that from what you have told me, we are going to be on Diagon Alley on the same day. And my father….he has his prejudices and mom can't stop him. He is ready to start offending the first person that gets in his way whose surname is not in the sacred 28. And Potter is, but you can't tell him that name of yours. I don't want to witness that. ""Hey, it's ok. I can deal with it. And you should keep the appearences in front of your father. If you don't want to say anything, then you can just stay there with a judging look on your face." I said, the last part in a jokingly manner."But…""No buts, you can't reveal anything to your father, and you know it. Now, I have to go. Our letters arrived and I have too see what books we have to get. You got yours?""Yeah, just read it now. I think all of Lockhart's books are on the list. And there's a lot of them. Good luck . Bye.""Ok, bye. "

As I got downstairs, Mrs Weasley was giving everyone their letters.

"Oh, come dear, here's your letter. " She gave me a yellowish envelope made of parchment and God, it was heavy. How many books could that fool have written?

I sat dovn at the nearly fool table, on one side of me being the twins, and on the other, Harry.

"Mom, all of Lockhart's books are here. Based on how popular he is, there won't be any books left."

"Maybe, but when we'll go, the stock will be full again. Now, eat, and we'll talk about it later. Well go to Diagon Alley saturday, so your father can come with us too. "

The days passed fast, and Draco got more and more nervous with each day. Honestly, I got nervous too, because I knew what his father might say, but also because I knew his mother might be there too. Sturday came, both dreaded and expected, and we made our way through Floo to the Leaky Cauldron. I went with George, and Harry with Fred because we were supposed not to know how to do it.

As we entered Flourish and Blotts, a long line of women were waiting to meet the so called "Role model of young witches and wizards", Gilderoy Lockhart. We made our way through the shelves but Harry was caught in a little photoshoot by Lockhart and he got a full set of his books, so we had to buy one less. Unfortunately, Draco was up the stairs, and while he was reserved about insulting me, he had no problem about doing that to Harry. But only I saw him even before he started tallking, wearing, as I suggested him, a long sleeved blouse under his robes.

" Can't even enter a bookstore without making front page, can you, Potter?" At that, everyone in our group turned to the blonde, who had his characteristic smirk plastered on his pale face, although he was more nervous than ever. I looked at my ring; just a little more pressure and the supposedly light blue was about to turn to something bluish, to despair.

"Why don't you let him, he didn't ask for it." Ginny got into the conversation. She didn't know about us, so it was a bit of a reflex to defend Harry, although I didn't know how she got it.

"Oh, look Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend."He sneered.

At that, both Ginny and Harry blushed, but so slightly that only I saw it. After all, their soulmate connection didn't mean that they had to get together, but they both wanted, even though they were just almost friends at the moment.

By now, Mr and Mrs Weasley arrived, and just before Draco started talking again, the end of a walking cane touched his shoulder. A tall man with long, white-blonde hair and black robes fixed his eyes on Mr Weasley. He clutched a little book with a black cover in his hand, half hidden in his wide sleeve.

"Arthur, what a surprise to see you here. With more than your own kids" he looked at me, Harry and Hernione"and with such a company"he looked at Hermiones parents in the other end of the shop. "You're degrading the name of wizard"

"We clearly have a very different meaning of what degrading the name of wizard meand, Lucius."

Draco's father grabbed one of Ginnys books from her cauldron.

"Hmmm, first year Weasley girl….I thought you had only boys. I'm surprised that you were even brought here, little girl, hand me downs can also be found at your home, I'm sure of that."

"Leave her alone!" I said.

"Oh, what do we have here? Another mudblood, I suppose, aside from Mrs Granger. Strange, Draco didn't tell me about you… Whats your name? " Draco looked impasively at me, but he was on the edge of either crying in my mind, or hitting his father.

"Selene Povans. And yes, I am a muggleborn, what's wrong with that? I just told you to leave Ginny alone." I kept my chin up, looking straight into his eyes. He nearly sighted, and he put the book back into Ginnys cauldron, carefully hiding and sliding the little book too. Hmmm…

"Here you are, little girl. That's the best your father can give you." As he said that, he turned his back and with Draco just behind him, he left the shop. Just then, Hagrid entered, looking after the two of them.

"Wha' did that bastar' want ?"

"Nothing. Just as usual, getting on peoples nerves." Mr Weasley answered, face red with anger. Meanwhile, I was sad that I didn't get to meet Narcissa. But, you can't have it all.

We went back to the Burrow and Mrs Weasley made us a delicious dinner, because we shopped at Diagon Alley all day. Later that night, while I was laying in my bed, one thing didn't let me sleep…what was with that little black book? If Lucius was so careful to slide it so that no one would see it, it might be very dangerous. Maybe Draco knew something…or that house elf that tried to convince Harry not to go to Hogwarts this year….Lucius Malfoy seems the type of master who terrifies his servants.

A/N: Wow, three full months without much pain or without fainting! Thats something :))) Now, thank you so much for the support and for reading. Hope you liked it. See you in five days.PLEASE REVIEWSelene_the_twin
