ICE AND FIRE
Rhapsody - Hey! How's it going? Now that I have over 50 reviews, I'm aiming for 60! Lol, goals, aims, targets..keep ya motivated don't they? Anyway, on with the story!
"ABCDEFG"
Immogen stared out the window of her empty compartment. The train had been on track for about half an hour, and she was bored already. If only there was someone she knew..
The compartment door slid open. A girl around her age with light brown hair and a frame a little taller than Immogen's came in. She had bright blue eyes and her hair was shoulder-length and it had copperand blonde streaks through it. The girl had a small sprinkle of freckles on her nose.
"Hi, I'm Jenny Syler, do you mind if I share your compartment? I can't find anywhere else" The girl asked.
"Yeah, sure, I'm Immogen Malfoy, are you starting Hogwarts too?" Immogen replied.
"You're a Malfoy? I didn't think girls were allowed to be Malfoys, it's a known fact that if a girl is born into the Malfoy family, she was killed, and yeah, I'm starting school this year too" Jenny said.
"Really? They ki-I mean, yeah, I know, but I guess I was special" Immogen changed her answer, thinking it would be better to pretend she knew everything about her heritage, but in actual fact, she had no idea how evil the Malfoys were. "By the way, I like your hair"
"Thanks. I've always loved silver-blonde hair, but hey, I'm not crying over it" Jenny shrugged. "I bet you know ALL about Hogwarts, I know a bit because of my sister, Bree, she's starting sixth-year though, so she's too busy"
"Oh ok. What house do you hope to be in?" Immogen asked.
"Gryffindor. Bree's one and I'd like it if someone was there that I could turn to" Jenny smiled.
"Me too. My mum was a Gryffindor" Immogen grinned back.
"If you are in Gryffindor, you'll be the first in your background to be" Jenny raised an eyebrow.
"Mum's side was all Gryffindor" Immogen frowned.
"Yes, but you're carrying on the Malfoy name aren't you? Not your mothers. Anyway, here's the trolley lady, are you getting anything?" Jenny asked.
For the rest of the trip, Immogen and Jenny mainly talked. Finally, they reached Hogwarts and before they knew it, were standing in front of the entire Hogwarts population, waiting to put on an old hat.
"Aldrige, Carly" Professor McGonagall called.
"Hufflepuff!" the Sorting Hat shouted.
The list of names ran on. Until..
"Malfoy, Immogen!" the Slytherin table looked up. A surefire add to their house, but the first girl Malfoy.
Immogen stumbled on the hem of her robes but kept herself from falling.
"Look, she's tiny!" One of the Slytherins yelled.
Immogen flushed pink. The sorting hat touched her head.
'Hmm..another Weasley? But yet another Malfoy..strange, very strange, there's been no-one like you. But Slytherin or Gryffindor? You seem more like a.." the hat whispered in her ear.
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
"GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled. Everyone froze for a second. Then the Gryffindor table started to cheer.
Jenny go into Gryffindor too, and was thoroughly happy about it.
"So, Immogen, you were quite a surprise, being the first ever Malfoy to be in Gryffindor, who's your mother?" Bree, Jenny's sister asked.
"Ginny Weasley" Immogen replied.
"A Weasley? Hmm, never thought that'd happen" Bree just shrugged and went back to her feast.
^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
"We have to owl her!" Ginny was jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Gin, she wont even be finished the feast yet!" Draco shook his head but gave himself a subtle smile.
"Did you just..SMILE?" Ginny grinned, punching his arm. He quickly changed it into a smirk.
"No, smiling is for prats" Draco teased.
"Then you should do it a lot"' Ginny's grin remained.
"Oooh, I'm not gonna take that, WEASELETTE" Draco narrowed his eyes mockingly. He conjured a water bomb over her head and -
SPLASH!
"You will wish you'd never done that Ferret!" Ginny fumed.
But she was stopped short by a tawny owl. A letter was attached to it's foot. The letter was from Immogen.
Hey Mum and Dad!
The feast is over and I'm in Gryffindor! (Ginny squealed while Draco gave the letter a dirty look) I met a girl on the train, her name's Jenny and she's in Gryffindor too. Everyone seems to know a lot about the Malfoys and I'm not hearing too nice things about them (Ginny collapsed in laughter at this, but Draco gave the words, if possible, an even dirtier look) so I'm wondering if there's anything I should know. Anyway, I'm having a great time so far and remember to owl me! Oh, and my birthday's in three months so you have to get me a present!
Love - Immogen
"Hmm.." Draco bit his lip.
"Ha ha! Shut down!" Ginny said in a sing-song voice while prancing around him. "Malfoys suck, Malfoys suck!"
"Virginia Michelle Weasley you are so clueless. I thought you were clever" Draco raised an eyebrow.
"I am clever! Why am I clueless?" Ginny frowned.
"Tell me, why would everyone still remember Malfoys?" Draco asked.
"I don't know. Because they're rich and powerful" Ginny shrugged.
"Well, yes, but students wouldn't keep talking about it, someone wouldn't let them forget it. Someone who would constantly remind everyone how powerful Malfoys were. Someone like how I was in school" Draco hinted.
Ginny went white. "You're - you're not saying..that there's a Malfoy at Hogwarts?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Im's cousin is still at Hogwarts" Draco said.
"Merlin. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, HUH? WHY?" Ginny shouted.
"Shut up and calm down!" Draco commanded. "I thought he'd left but it seems he's in seventh-year"
"Who is it?" Ginny asked hesitantly.
"Braxlin Estin Malfoy, son of Estin Slater Malfoy and Elissiana Marlie Landon" Draco replied.
"Wizarding names aren't they?" Ginny asked.
"Naturally. Malfoys aren't fond of muggle names" Draco answered.
"Why is Braxlin's middle name the same as his father's?" Ginny questioned.
"Tradition. I'm Draco Lucius Malfoy so it makes sense doesn't it?" Draco said.
"Will he give Immogen a hard time? You know, because she's a girl, she has a muggle name, she's a Gryffindor and I'm her mother?" Ginny asked wryly.
"It's hard to say. I DO think that he'll try to take her over to be mean, then Immogen'll resist and he might lay off her, possibly be nice to her" Draco took a breath then carried on.
"Braxlin isn't as bad as most Malfoys, I s'pose he got it from Aunt Liss, the Landons were the nicest pureblood family, besides the Weasleys, but Grandfather allowed Uncle Estin to marry Aunt Liss because the Landons hated muggles. Only two or three of them out of their whole family ended up being death eaters" He finished.
"The Landons are good friends with the Weasleys" Ginny said, thinking.
"Yes, which is why I think Braxlin might be nice to her. He always liked his mother better than his father, like me. Don't blame him really. He'd do anything to please his mother beyond his father and I've kept in touch with Uncle Estin and Aunt Liss, and told them about Immogen" Draco said.
"What did they say?" Ginny asked.
"Uncle Estin was pissed, but Mum and Aunt Liss liked it. They weren't happy about me being a father so young but still..I know that they haven't told Braxlin about Im yet though" Draco answered.
"So they don't know they're cousins?" Ginny said indignantly.
"Well, no, but I thought Braxlin had left school and it'll make it fun for them wouldn't it?" Draco said.
"Point taken, but when Im finds out, she won't take it lying down. She'll want to know why we didn't tell her" Ginny warned.
"I didn't want her to be involved with my family, except MAYBE my mother and Aunt Liss" Draco explained.
"Well, we'll write her a letter, telling her what to expect but not what it is" Ginny suspected.
"Okay..how do we start?" He asked.
When the letter was finished, it said -
Dear Immogen,
There will be an unexpected surprise at Hogwarts waiting for you. Your father only figured it out tonight and instead of telling you, there should be a few things you should figure out yourself. We send our love. Mum and Dad
"Good, now let's send it off" Ginny said.
And the letter flew away into the night.
Rhapsody - POLL! Should I still talk about Immogen's life at Hogwarts? yeah, I want to know what happens with her finding out about Braxlin! Yeah, but mostly stick to Ginny and Draco No, focus on the original characters please.
