Maya kept asking me questions about Victoria. I didn't see why every little detail was so important. She normally wasn't this way, trying to figure out who the strangers she met were. I mean, it's not like they were serial killers or anything. If they were, they could have killed us right there. They were just two normal people who led normal lives. I mean, that whole thing with Victoria and her sunglasses was a little weird, but everyone was allowed to have their quirks, I suppose. For example, I think I might have freaked Victoria out a little with the whole obsession with pie. But I still stand by the fact that life is pie.
"Draco just talked about unimportant things, like sports and stuff. You and Victoria looked like you had a really deep conversation. What did she say?" Maya kept pestering.
"Why is it so important?" I asked her.
"Don't you want to figure out who they were? They didn't even give us their last names, Dean. They barely talked about themselves," Maya said.
"Maybe they didn't want a couple psychos like us to track them down. Ever think of that?" I asked her.
"No, it was like they were hiding something big. I'm not going to put this to rest until you give me the details," Maya said.
I sighed, figuring that the only way to get her to shut up about this was to give her the details. "Okay, she was attacked by a dog last year and was in a coma for three months. That's why she has all those scars. She claims that her eyes freak people out, which is why she wouldn't take off her sunglasses. She has a rocky relationship with her twin brother, whose name is Harry." I would have said more, but Maya realized something.
"Dean, you know which famous british Harry has a twin sister named Victoria? Harry Potter." I rolled my eyes, because I couldn't just believe that. Just because they were British did not mean that they were wizards. "No, Dean, it all fits. She wasn't attacked by a dog last year, Voldemort tortured her and nearly killed her. Draco Malfoy! That's who the guy was. There was this big article in Witch Weekly about them, and how they were star crossed lovers and etc. We just had lunch with Draco Malfoy and Victoria Potter." Maya was really excited about this, which was really strange.
"Aren't Draco Malfoy and Victoria Potter like sixteen? Those guys were at least 23," I said. They were far too mature to be 16.
"We just assumed that, because we expected that. Also, where they are, they have to grow up too fast," Maya explained.
I still wasn't completely convinced, but I couldn't ignore the facts. They did fit the description perfectly. What were the odds that we would meet them in line to It's a freaking Small World? Zip to none. But I have to say, I was really impressed with Victoria. She wasn't bitter about anything, despite what she's been through. Instead, she just acted like every day was a gift. There was something amazing in that.
