"Through the wall!?" Analia asked, Draco, shocked. She had just been told about platform 9 and three quarters. She and the blonde haired boy had been dropped off at the train station my Mr. Malfoy's chauffeur.
The boy looked at her, rather flatly, and walked through the wall. The girl, somewhat skeptically, pushed her cart through the wall with her eyes closed. To her surprise, she was able to walk right through.
Analia followed Draco as he led her to the last car on the train. It was empty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Harry! Hey Harry!" Ron called to his friend.
Harry walked up to Ron with Hermione following him. "Hey. Ron did you see her?" He asked
"Yeah" Ron replied. " Weird. Wonder who she is. First year maybe?"
"No way." Harry replied. " She's gotta be at least fifth year with us."
"WAIT A MINUTE!!!" Hermione shouted, stopping the two. "Will someone please me what your talking about?"
"That girl." Ron said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world." The one with long brown hair that walked in with Malfoy."
"I'll bet she's in Slytherin, if she hangs out with him" Harry said, turning his attention from Hermione to Ron.
The two continued their conversation as Hermione rolled her eyes and followed them onto the train.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Analia and Draco Put their things down on two seats by each other. Draco, however didn't sit down. Instead he pulled Analia up by the arm and dragged her to the back of the car. The girl just looked confused.
"What?" She asked softly.
"I want to know if you saw anything, absolutely ANYTHING, two days ago." Draco said, softly at first, but raising his voice slightly.
"N..No. I mean Yes. I mean..." Analia trailed off and looked the boy in the eyes with her back pressed against the back wall of the car.
Just then Hermione walked in. Harry and Ron were not with her though. She saw the girl against the wall talking to her enemy. Her presence was seemingly unnoticed, so she ducked behind one of the seats at the front, so she would not be seen by the two.
"Did you or did you not see anything, make up your mind." Draco said, trying to keep his voice down.
The girl looked at the floor as a single tear ran down her cheek. She nodded.
"Everything" she whispered. "I saw everything"
Just then Hermione Granger left the car to sit with Harry and Ron
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I swear she was crying! I saw her myself!" Hermione said as she explained to her two best friends what she had seen.
"What for, Sherlock?" Ron said. " People don't just cry for no reason."
"I don't know." Hermione. " She was talking to Draco and.…"
Harry held up his hand to silence her. " Enough said" He declared as Ron and Hermione gave him puzzled looks.
"Seeing his face is enough to traumatize any sane person. " Harry joked. He and Ron started laughing hysterically. Hermione eventually began to laugh along with them, but deep inside she knew that something wasn't right. She glance at the car behind them and couldn't help wondering who she was, where she came from, and what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girl turned out to be a new fifth year student, the same year as Harry She was sorted last, and the sorting hat called her by only one name. She sat on that stool for almost five minutes until the hat finally called out SLYTHERIN!
Harry groaned. Ron sighed. Hermione just stared.
"I knew it." Harry said, rather disappointed. "It would have been nice if she were in Gryffindor."
Ron stared at her approaching the cheering Slytherins as he nodded in agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I...Hate...THAT...CHILD!!!!" Hermione said after the first week of school had past. The brown haired girl stormed into the Gryffindor common room that Friday evening, causing people to scatter until no one was in the room except for Harry and Ron. The two looked up at her.
"Geez Herm," Ron said sounding concerned. " I haven't seen you this mad since that day you slapped Malfoy."
"Ron's right" Harry said in the same worried tone. " What happened?"
"Not only does that THING rival my grades in EVERY SUBJECT, is officially Draco Malfoy's best friend, AND flies about ten times better than anyone Hogwarts has ever seen, She's also made reserve seeker for the slytherin team AND Professor McGonagall LIKES HER!" Hermione fumed.
"No one scores higher than me, and I'm going to make sure she knows it." Hermione finished as she stormed upstairs leaving to two boys looking at each other, confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in the Slytherin common room, two figures were talking in the dim light coming from the fireplace. Analia and Malfoy.
"Well," The girl began. " If you don't want to become one, I would guess that you don't have to be one." She said rather delicately.
"You don't understand. " The boy said. " It is expected of me. I have no choice. " He said almost coldly.
"You always have a choice." The girl replied softly, simply. " I just hope you decide to make the right one." She sounded sincere.
The girl turned and walked towards her dorm. When she was about to leave the common room she turned once again to face the boy.
"I just want you to know." She said softly. " That whatever decision you make, I will be behind you on it, 100 percent."
Then she turned, and closed the door behind her, disappearing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Needless to say, the next Monday morning Hermione declared an all out war on Analia. They turned double potions into a complete disaster.
Analia was sitting by Pansy Parkinson, who apparently also hated her because Pansy liked Draco Malfoy and was jealous of Analia's friendship with him.
Snape walked around the tables, inspecting the completed potions. He looked down at Hermione's, but said nothing and gave her a dirty look as he passed onto the next cauldron. Hermione looked at Analia's bubbling cauldron as Snape passed by and Smiled at her, telling people to notice how nicely her potion's color was turning out and how her fire was neither too small or too large.
Hermione glared at her. The girl receiving the glare felt Hermione's eyes on her. She looked in Hermione's direction and saw a girl glaring furiously.
Analia was thoroughly confused. She had no idea why this girl should be mad at her. "What?" She whispered. " Did I do something wrong?"
Hermione thought she was being sarcastic and aimed a beam from her wand straight at the girl, knocking over her potion, causing her frog, which she was supposed to make grow, To enlarge to the size of A small cow.
Outraged, Analia rolled up the sleeves of her robes, pulled out her wand, and without saying a word, sparks flew out from the end of her wand, straight at Hermione, Causing her hair to turn a sickening bright green with pink highlight.
Hermione had no idea what had happened until Lavender Patil Handed her a mirror. She gasped and took her wand and pointed it at Analia, who had her own wand pointed at Hermione.
Suddenly both of their wands flew out of their hands. Snape had disarmed them. To Hermione's shock, Her wand hit the blackboard and fell to the floor, but Analia's stopped in midair and flew back into her hand.
A mixture of gasps and cheers filled the room as 50 points were taken from Gryffindor for what Snape called an 'unprovoked attack.' The two girls were immediately sent to Professor Dumbledore's office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why did you go and knock my cauldron over?!" Analia yelled at the girl next to her.
"You have to figure out that when you compete with me, especially in academics, that your setting yourself up for a fall." Hermione said
"Competing with you! Who said I was competing with you! I don't even know who you are!" Analia said, in a tone that was half angry, half honestly confused.
"Wh..What?" Hermione asked.
"You mean, you weren't trying to compete with me because you're in slytherin and I'm in Gryffindor and you wanted to show everyone how much 'better' Slytherin is?" Hermione asked, starting to sound more confused than angry.
"Why on earth would I want to outscore you just because we're in different houses? Why would I care If we're in different houses? Why would I care that you get better grades than me? " Analia said, trying to calm herself down.
" Soo... you really weren't just trying to push Gryffindor down or prove that muggles are worse than purebloods?" Hermione asked, figuring that she might as well make friends with this girl, even if she was in Slytherin.
"Absolutely not! I would never EVER do anything like that." Analia Said as she was pushed through the door of Dumbledore's office and stood staring at a tall bearded man. She was standing side by side with Hermione Granger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two girls emerged from the room. They sighed in relief. They had managed to tell Dumbledore that it was all a mistake and were sent off with a warning and ten points taken off from each house.
Over the next few weeks, Analia, much to the slytherin's detest, had become friends with Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Of course, Draco was still her best friend.
The slytherins did not hate her for being friends with the Three, for she was also friends with most of them, with the exception of Pansy Parkinson, who only hated her more.
Soon enough Halloween had come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what are you doing today?" Analia asked Draco, who had been quietly reading a book in the Slytherin common room. He looke up at her.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll just stay here. Torture Potter. You know, the usual." He said, sounding bored as he closed his book.
Analia giggled. " We don't have Halloween off for no reason. We should at least do something like make thunder water or something fun like that."
"Thunder water?" Draco asked, raising one eyebrow and giving his trademark smirk.
"You've never heard of thunder water?" Analia said as her jaw dropped.
Draco shook his head.
"Thunder water is the absolute coolest thing ever!" She said, dragging her friend up by the arm and Taking him outside to the pond by the forbidden forest.
"It can make you invisible for up to two hours if you make it right. " She said scooping up some water into a glass container with a screw on top.
Draco Malfoy watched her as she held the Jar up to the sun. She muttered a few inaudible words. All of a sudden the water began to sparkle. Literally sparkle. There was a slight tinge of blue in it.
"So. " Draco said. " You can only make this stuff on Halloween?" He asked, staring at her.
"yup. " She answered, smiling.
Just then Draco took off his shirt, threw it down, and jumped into the cold water. Analia Gasped. Pansy's crew, who had been watching from far away, Had to steady Pansy Parkinson as she almost fainted at the sight.
Analia turned, rolled her eyes, and headed towards the school, carrying her glass of thunder water.
"I'm not coming in there after you!!!" She yelled as she walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Herm! Herm? Hey where are you?" Analia called as she searched the school for her friends. The girl was found in the library, as usual
"Hermione, I don't know how we let you talk us into this. We're not supposed to be studying on a day off!" Ron yelled as Analia walked into the room.
"Herm guess what I just did?" Analia asked as she sat in the chair next to Hermione and closed her book.
"Hey!" Hermione shrieked "Oh fine. What?"
Analia whispered something in Hermione's ear, causing her eyes to widen in excitement, as Harry and Ron looked at each other.
"THUNDER WATER?!" Hermione shrieked "I can't believe that! Lemme see lemme see?!" She said as Analia held the glass bottle out to her.
"I made it five minutes ago." Analia said smiling.
"how?" Hermione said as she stared at the water in the bottle laying in her hands.
"A girl I met on the street showed me how two Halloweens ago." Analia said as she shrugged.
"Does it work?" Hermione asked.
Analia shrugged. " I dunno. Try it."
"hold it." Harry said.
"Yeah, " Ron continued. " What's thunder water and what does it do?"
"Thunder water, " Hermione answered "Is a special potion that can only be made on Halloween. It's only ingredient is water, but a special spell has to be said while it is held up to the light. If you drink it, it turns you invisible for a while. I think that if two or more people make it together, and they all drink it, they can see each other, but nobody else can."
Harry and Ron gaped.
"Sooo...." Harry began. " Mind if me and Ron try it?"
Ron looked at Hermione and Analia hopefully.
Hermione looked at Analia. She thought for a moment, then nodded her head.
Harry drank the water. Ron Drank the water. Hermione drank the water. Within two minutes the three were nowhere to be seen.
Analia rolled her eyes and took the rest of the thunder water and put it in her dormitory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About ten minutes later, Analia grabbed her broom and headed outside, being bored out of her right mind. She found herself back at the lake by the forbidden forest.
She lazily lay sideways on her broom with perfect balance. Her head was rested on one hand as the other arm lay hanging off the boom, Her fingers just brushing the surface of the water.
Suddenly Something grabbed Analia's hand, pulling her off of her broom as she shrieked and fell into the icy water. Draco Malfoy.
'I can't believe he did that' she thought. She let herself sink and closed her eyes. Moments later she felt someone grab her around the shoulders and began to shake her.
Her eyes popped open as a fear stricken Draco Malfoy let her go.
"Got you " She mouthed as she quickly swam up to the surface. When she got up to the surface, her broom was still floating above the water. She grabbed it and flipped onto it.
As she rose and flew away she could see Draco reach the surface. She turned her and head began to laugh playfully. "Got ya got ya got ya. " She mouthed over and over as she smiled.
"You scared the bloody daylight out of me!" He yelled after her, but a smile also crept up onto his face as he climbed out of the water and put his shirt back on. He sat under a tree, staring at the sun slowly setting. Suddenly a hand shot from above him and waved in front of his face. He was startled, and did the first thing that came to his mind. He pulled it.
A young girl toppled out of the tree and landed in front of him. Analia. She didn't move. Draco stood up. She still didn't move. He knelt beside her and looked into her face. Her eyes shot open as he gasped. She erupted into a fit of laughter as she ran off. Her broom came shooting out of the tree after her. She caught it in it's path and climbed onto it.
"That child is honestly going to get herself killed one day." Draco said as he shook his head a headed back to Hogwarts, soaking wet.
Several minutes later, three figures appeared, seemingly out of thin air, underneath the same tree, laughing hysterically. It was Harry Ron and Hermione, and they had been watching the two the whole time. They had also seen the look on Pansy Parkinson's face as she and her crew, heading back to Hogwarts, Had seen Draco kneeling beside Analia on the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco found himself standing by a bonfire. Not alone though. He was standing in a circle of about ten people. They were dressed in cloaks like that of a dementor. Their faces were hidden. His eyes rested upon one of the cloaked figures. It was shorter that the one next to it. Much shorter. The figure took off the hood. Draco gasped. It was Analia.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I told you before" She said mysteriously. "Whatever decision you make, I'm behind you on it, 100 percent."
Just then, Harry, Hermione, and Ron appeared, bound and gagged, inside the circle, laying by the bonfire.
Draco Malfoy looked on in horror as a knife appeared in Analia's right hand. She looked at him. The expression on her face was that of regret, fear, and, sorrow.
"I just hope you made the right choice" She said, looking down at the three struggling hostages.
Hermione disappeared into thin air. She reappeared standing up with Analia standing behind her, Analia's hand over Hermione's mouth. Analia looked at the ground as she slowly lifted the knife to one of her best friends and slit her throat.
The bushy haired girl fell lifeless to the floor as Analia collapsed to her knees in tears. She looked up at Draco with a look that made him feel like the end of the world had come.
"Make the right choice, Draco, make the right one." She said as she looked back down into her lap. Draco saw a tear leave her eye and fall to the ground.
