Hello Readers. While I am not new to fanfiction, it has been well over a decade since I last posted a story. I mostly wrote Harry Potter fanfiction, and yes, this one will be too. Life has gifted me with a career, a husband, and children since I last posted. This pandemic has given me time to reflect on A LOT. I want to start writing again. While I'm not the best, or the worst, we all need an outlet and we share that, either with reading or writing or both. I LOVE fanfiction. I may be in my thirties now, but still have a child like love of this. It's also good to just let things go in writing.

Now, this begins in our lovely character's 3rd year. I want to start here so everything can kick off. Everything will be cannon for the most part. Things you read will be recognizable from the books and movies. Draco has a twin in this story but will dive more into that later. Things that are not cannon, couples. This eventually will be Draco/Hermione, Harry/Luna, and other characters, you will see eventually.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Harry Potter, I just love to play chess and mess with them, lol. JK Rowling has rights to this wonderful world we love so much. This will serve for all chapters until I make changes…. Onward…. also, this is in my character's pov.

"…." = talking

'thoughts'

"I still wonder what the hell is pulling these things." Draco said getting in the carriage.

"No, you don't." I replied. My dear twin is a halfwit sometimes. I noticed his side glance. "You have to witness a death Draco; do you really want that?" He gulped and shook his head.

The carriages made their way up to the castle in further silence. It would be their third year. It seems every year gets more ominous. Especially concerning one Harry Potter. You would think being a Malfoy I would not care. That I would be an ass like my brother. I'm not. While we are twins, we are not alike. In respect he's blonde, I'm not, raven black hair instead. He has cool, calculating grey eyes, mine are the deepest emerald color you could get. Which matches my name. Emerald. People talk saying there's no way we're twins. He's cold, I'm not. He's an ass, I'm not. Both Malfoys', both Slytherins, completely different personalities. My best friend other than him? Hermione Granger. Although I have plenty of friends, good friends. She's my number one. Another non-Malfoy trait, I don't give a damn about blood purity. That's complete bollocks. I nearly bulldozed everyone down when she got petrified last year. My power got out of hand. I helped Harry and Ron (I don't like him much) figure out about the snake. He told Ron to stay with Hermione while him and I went to fight it. You know the story, Harry struck it with the sword, everything got better after that. I'm all for house unity, much to my brother's annoyance. I also am fond of Harry. Also, much to my brother's annoyance. I giggled when Harry didn't shake Draco's hand that day. Finally! Someone who has a brain of his own! I said to myself. Three years later here we are. I wonder what trouble awaits this time.

"Emerald! We're here." Draco says shaking me out of my world.

"Sorry Drac." I smiled.

"You get lost again?"

"Doesn't she always?" Daphne replied.

"Come one nutter, we're all hungry!" Pansy said dragging me out of the carriage. We laughed and talked all the way to the Great Hall.

Once we got to the tables I looked up and saw everyone else walk in.

"I'll be back, save my seat." I tell Pansy and Daphne, to which they nodded.

I went over to the Gryffindor table and put my hands to cover Hermione's eyes, "guess who?"

"Haha, umm the OTHER Malfoy?" Hermione laughed. She turned around and gave me a hug.

"Emerald! How are you?"

I couldn't miss her bright chocolate eyes any more than I did that moment. "I am great Mione. So glad to see you," and I looked at Harry and hugged him also, "and Harry. Trust you made the trip ok? I didn't see you on the train due to certain, "I waved my hand toward my table, "nincompoops." They laughed.

"Potter….Hey POTTER."

We turned around.

"Is it true you fainted?" The little group of Slytherins laughed. I turned him around.

'Don't listen to him Harry." Hermione told him. He nodded. I hugged them each again and walked back to the table. I sat down next to my brother.

"SMACK!" a few people turned to look around. "Ouch! What was that for?" Draco rubbed the back of his head.

"You really need to stop being such a jerk Draco. Harry's been through enough without your constant nagging." I side glared him. Pansy and Daphne snickered. I didn't even get to hear Dumbledore's speech, but I did catch the end of it. Something about Dementors….shit.

…." but happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, when one remembers to turn on the light."

'Well, if that's not foreboding…. shit.' I think to myself.

What do you guys think? I know it's short. I need to get use to this again. But more will come soon. Please review!
