CHAPTER3
AN- thought that now that we've got a little bkg info I'd get into different characters POV's!- Oh and this is also my disclaimer, but ofcourse if you've gotten this far (thanx 4 puttin up with me and given it a chance) you know i don't own all these wonderful characters!
There was a knock at the common room door just as I had finished setting up a fire for Jason who was drawing on a pad of paper that Remus had given him as we left. He had been cold so I had given him my robes and was only wearing the muggle clothing I had left here the previous year. It's just for occasions when I pretend to be a muggle at the train station or through common muggle London. I stood up and opened the door. Ginny! Not at all who I had been expecting. Unfortunately, she had brought the stupid prat Potter with her and he was glaring at me with wonder if I was going to be stupid enough to try anything with him watching.
Jason pulled up looking cautiously around my legs at Ginny, and I barley heard her ask if we'd like to go to Hogsmeade. I mumbled yes as if I didn't really care, hoping no one would find out about my hidden passion for her right away. I pulled my robes off Jason's shoulders and headed to my dorm to grab the money I had remembered to bring. Jason had looked quite strange in them as if they were a huge coat with the way they dragged behind him.
When I exited the common room I found Jason whispering in Ginny's ear and pointing at Harry who now wore a bemused look. Ginny laughed warmly and at that second I would have given anything to hear what he said that was making her smile. I'd ask him later.
As I started towards the castle entrance I noticed Ginny had taken Jason's tiny hand, and was talking animatedly to him and pointing at different things.
"Is he your little brother," Harry asked glancing at me without turning his head.
"No, his name is Jason Nott." I had a hard time to keep from laughing at the shock that passed across Harry's face. I knew somehow that he must have known that Mr. Nott had been working with the dark side. Two sons of Death Eaters now inhabited the castle.
"Do you know him from Death Eater picnic get-togethers?"
I scowled at this comment. Harry was a dumb fool still not realizing how innocent Jason was. Or me, for that matter. I have never killed a soul, hurt or maimed anyone. Just a little harmless fun, that's all.
We made it out into the fresh air and Jason ran up to me. I pulled him up letting him ride on my shoulders for a while.
"The girl is really nice, like mommy." The last comment hurt. I knew his mother had probably been a nice quiet woman forced into marriage after making the mistake of liking a Death Eater. It was quite common, as it happened with my mom. She had liked my father, they fell in love, and soon after his dark arts increased. She had tried to escape, but like most Death Eaters, he pressured her into marrying him and bearing his child. Me. What a sad thought to know you did not come into this world by choice but because of someone's cruelties and forced desire. Mother had never told me this but it had come out as a confession to several other innocent wives in the same predicament. I had simply over heard.
We made it into the town, and I decided to stick with the group at least for a little bit. We walked past the shrieking shack. The others pointed to it obviously knowing something I didn't. I watched as Ginny picked a rose and set it on the front step. Maybe some day I'd figure it out. I walked in to Warlock's Wardrobe, which is the biggest robe selling shop there. The woman instantly recognized me.
"Draco- darling, Hogwarts robes I presume?" She has one of those syrupy thick voices that float over the entire store. I nodded and she quickly began her measuring. She had finished mine and turned toward Ginny.
"I suppose you will need new ones as well." Ginny however shook her head blushing slightly and the woman scowled. I frowned realizing this was only because she hadn't the money. I turned looking to see if Ron or Potter was anywhere near. They were out of hearing distance so I turned back to the seamstress.
"Oh but she does. And the little boy, but his are to be of pure blue." Ginny turned toward me blushing even worse and trying to shake her head but it was too late and the woman was already busy at work. Ginny continued to look at me with worried eyes, and I knew that she was thinking about the fact that after purchasing the robes she probably wouldn't be able to purchase her other need supplies. I had to look away, and as I did I glimpsed several fancy tassels and laces. Grinning stupidly to myself and trying to seem charming I grabbed two of the silver ones and tossed them to the old woman. "Add those to the sleeves of hers and this to the neck." A fancy lace of some sort completely in black velvet now trimmed her neck and the silver tassels contrasted with her eyes incredibly.
"Draco- I, I can't pay for th…" Ginny started, but I was too quick.
"Don't worry about it, there on me." I walked up to the checkout and paid for all three sets of robes without even making the slightest dent in my pocket money. Even if it had it definitely was worth the smile I had received.
***-
They are the most beautiful and expensive set of robes I've ever worn in my life. I still don't understand why he got them for me. The Draco Malfoy just paid for my school robes and I feel like I owe him something. I followed him into the book-shop. He was reading up on Quidditch, kinda like Harry. He also grabbed an Animagi book. Just like Harry.
I have a secret: over the summer they thought me to become an Animagi. I haven't told anyone about them or anything I've learned. Not even my mother. No one would understand. It has something to do with my blood and the very important star that supernova-ed when I was born.
I guess I'll have to look through the astronomy books in the school library.
I turn into a phoenix. Though it's really cool it's not what I guessed would happen. I can halfway transform and end up with a kind of glow to my face and a set of wings of fire. It looks like I'm an over grown fairy
I picked up some books for school, but I already am so far ahead of every one in my grade, even Harry and Ron. Oh Merlin, I'm even farther than Hermoine. No one knows though. So I browsed through the store thinking about what to get. That's when I spotted the shop across the way. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are already down the street quite a bit. I turn to Jason and help him pull the book he's reaching for. He strikes me as some one who knows more than someone his age should. It's quite creepy. The book is large and leather bound. Jason smiled and pointed to the keyhole.
"Mommy had a book like this once. Daddy took the key away though." His explanation struck me as odd, and Draco walked around into our aisle and was staring at the book. He knew there was something special about it too, by the look in his eyes. I looked back at the shelf. There were three others just like it. Pulling them all down, I set them at equal lengths apart. All were identical and mysteriously locked. Pulling my wand from my new robes I muttered unlocking spells unsuccessfully. Draco stepped over, now very interested, and tried a few spells of his own. No luck. The books were mesmerizing. I ended up purchasing one, while Draco bought the other three.
It seemed with all of his schoolbooks, the books on animagi, the books on Quidditch, and the new books, that Draco was holding a small library. He even purchased a storybook that switched stories every time one was finished, for Jason. Jason was smiling wildly as he whispered excitedly about Repunzel. I thanked Draco repeatedly, finally asking for what he asked for in return. He simply shrugged with a grin and told me not to worry about it.
I caught up with Harry, Ron and Hermoine in 3 broomsticks. They were laughing and having butter beer, so I joined in. I would pick up potion ingredients alone. There was too much I needed that would make people suspicious if they came along. Harry was staring at me a little more than usual, and when I finally asked he said that he never had really noticed how pretty my eyes were. Of course I blushed and Ron laughed at me so when he wasn't looking I turned his teeth black and stunned his tongue so he slurred his speech.
"So Harssy, maysee I'ss trys ouss for sa Quidess seam tis sear." Ron looked up, surprised at what he said, while Harry and Hermoine laughed. He opened his mouth to protest and gave us a glimpse at his charcoal black teeth. This sent them in to further depths if laughter. He angrily looked at me.
"Ginsy stosp tis ight sow!" I innocently raised my hands to show I was holding no wand. I blinked my eyes twice and he was back to normal. He looked at Harry and Hermoine who innocently raised their hands. He slipped under the table to check if we were hiding any thing. Hermoine burst out laughing and I knew he was probably ticking her or something so I stood and excused my self. Was it just me or did Harry look slightly disappointed. Oh well. I'm off to the Apocathary.
***-
I spotted her heading into the Apocathary and decided that Jason and I would go just to see perhaps what extras she might be picking up. Shriveled Doxy hair can only be used in three spells, all of which create invisibility, so you see what I mean in saying that certain ingredients can say a lot about you. Jason and I had already been, but he would enjoy looking at the pickled toad eye again. She spoke vividly to the man behind the counter before she was handed a rather large bag containing what, I do not know. With several other smaller orders, none I noticed were on the school supplies list she paid in a strange currency and turned to leave. Quickly I turned and tried desperately to find something interesting to pretend to look at. She noticed me. Drat!
"Draco… I thought I saw you leave this store before I entered." Crap, why did she have to see me leave? I blushed before turning toward her.
"I-I forgot to pick um… this up," I breathed in a semi irritated tone, hopping it was convincing enough.
"If it's to become an animagi you need the unicorn horns to already have been powdered and bathed in the Dragon tears." She answered it knowledgeably. I know I must have looked stunned, because she answered, "If you're wondering how I knew that you wanted to become one, it was because you were looking at the amangi books earlier, and your not the only one in your year who wants to become one."
"Are you suggesting that Potter, Granger and Weas-I mean your brother are trying to do this as well," I pressed on. She smirked.
"Perhaps, but with Hermoine being the only one with half her mind in the potions, it will be quite a while before they even get that much done." She had a laughter filled smile that made me never want to end the conversation, but how did she already know that much about the transformation. I asked.
"Now that I can't tell you, for I have been sworn to secrecy about not blabbing to anyone I don't need to."
"And you haven't even told your family about your nightly escapes. How secret can it be?" Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Malfoy! Now why ever did you have to open your exceedingly big mouth?
"H-how do you know weather I've told my folks or not?"
A/N sorry couldn't help that this was a short chapter with a cliffhanger.

"H-how do you know weather I've told my folks or not?"
A/N sorry couldn't help that this was a short chapter with a cliffhanger.
CHAPTER3
AN- thought that now that we've got a little bkg info I'd get into different characters POV's!-
There was a knock at the common room door just as I had finished setting up a fire for Jason who was drawing on a pad of paper that Remus had given him as we left. He had been cold so I had given him my robes and was only wearing the muggle clothing I had left here the previous year. It's just for occasions when I pretend to be a muggle at the train station or through common muggle London. I stood up and opened the door. Ginny! Not at all who I had been expecting. Unfortunately, she had brought the stupid prat Potter with her and he was glaring at me with wonder if I was going to be stupid enough to try anything with him watching.
Jason pulled up looking cautiously around my legs at Ginny, and I barley heard her ask if we'd like to go to Hogsmeade. I mumbled yes as if I didn't really care, hoping no one would find out about my hidden passion for her right away. I pulled my robes off Jason's shoulders and headed to my dorm to grab the money I had remembered to bring. Jason had looked quite strange in them as if they were a huge coat with the way they dragged behind him.
When I exited the common room I found Jason whispering in Ginny's ear and pointing at Harry who now wore a bemused look. Ginny laughed warmly and at that second I would have given anything to hear what he said that was making her smile. I'd ask him later.
As I started towards the castle entrance I noticed Ginny had taken Jason's tiny hand, and was talking animatedly to him and pointing at different things.
"Is he your little brother," Harry asked glancing at me without turning his head.
"No, his name is Jason Nott." I had a hard time to keep from laughing at the shock that passed across Harry's face. I knew somehow that he must have known that Mr. Nott had been working with the dark side. Two sons of Death Eaters now inhabited the castle.
"Do you know him from Death Eater picnic get-togethers?"
I scowled at this comment. Harry was a dumb fool still not realizing how innocent Jason was. Or me, for that matter. I have never killed a soul, hurt or maimed anyone. Just a little harmless fun, that's all.
We made it out into the fresh air and Jason ran up to me. I pulled him up letting him ride on my shoulders for a while.
"The girl is really nice, like mommy." The last comment hurt. I knew his mother had probably been a nice quiet woman forced into marriage after making the mistake of liking a Death Eater. It was quite common, as it happened with my mom. She had liked my father, they fell in love, and soon after his dark arts increased. She had tried to escape, but like most Death Eaters, he pressured her into marrying him and bearing his child. Me. What a sad thought to know you did not come into this world by choice but because of someone's cruelties and forced desire. Mother had never told me this but it had come out as a confession to several other innocent wives in the same predicament. I had simply over heard.
We made it into the town, and I decided to stick with the group at least for a little bit. We walked past the shrieking shack. The others pointed to it obviously knowing something I didn't. I watched as Ginny picked a rose and set it on the front step. Maybe some day I'd figure it out. I walked in to Warlock's Wardrobe, which is the biggest robe selling shop there. The woman instantly recognized me.
"Draco- darling, Hogwarts robes I presume?" She has one of those syrupy thick voices that float over the entire store. I nodded and she quickly began her measuring. She had finished mine and turned toward Ginny.
"I suppose you will need new ones as well." Ginny however shook her head blushing slightly and the woman scowled. I frowned realizing this was only because she hadn't the money. I turned looking to see if Ron or Potter was anywhere near. They were out of hearing distance so I turned back to the seamstress.
"Oh but she does. And the little boy, but his are to be of pure blue." Ginny turned toward me blushing even worse and trying to shake her head but it was too late and the woman was already busy at work. Ginny continued to look at me with worried eyes, and I knew that she was thinking about the fact that after purchasing the robes she probably wouldn't be able to purchase her other need supplies. I had to look away, and as I did I glimpsed several fancy tassels and laces. Grinning stupidly to myself and trying to seem charming I grabbed two of the silver ones and tossed them to the old woman. "Add those to the sleeves of hers and this to the neck." A fancy lace of some sort completely in black velvet now trimmed her neck and the silver tassels contrasted with her eyes incredibly.
"Draco- I, I can't pay for th…" Ginny started, but I was too quick.
"Don't worry about it, there on me." I walked up to the checkout and paid for all three sets of robes without even making the slightest dent in my pocket money. Even if it had it definitely was worth the smile I had received.
***-
They are the most beautiful and expensive set of robes I've ever worn in my life. I still don't understand why he got them for me. The Draco Malfoy just paid for my school robes and I feel like I owe him something. I followed him into the book-shop. He was reading up on Quidditch, kinda like Harry. He also grabbed an Animagi book. Just like Harry.
I have a secret: over the summer they thought me to become an Animagi. I haven't told anyone about them or anything I've learned. Not even my mother. No one would understand. It has something to do with my blood and the very important star that supernova-ed when I was born.
I guess I'll have to look through the astronomy books in the school library.
I turn into a phoenix. Though it's really cool it's not what I guessed would happen. I can halfway transform and end up with a kind of glow to my face and a set of wings of fire. It looks like I'm an over grown fairy
I picked up some books for school, but I already am so far ahead of every one in my grade, even Harry and Ron. Oh Merlin, I'm even farther than Hermoine. No one knows though. So I browsed through the store thinking about what to get. That's when I spotted the shop across the way. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are already down the street quite a bit. I turn to Jason and help him pull the book he's reaching for. He strikes me as some one who knows more than someone his age should. It's quite creepy. The book is large and leather bound. Jason smiled and pointed to the keyhole.
"Mommy had a book like this once. Daddy took the key away though." His explanation struck me as odd, and Draco walked around into our aisle and was staring at the book. He knew there was something special about it too, by the look in his eyes. I looked back at the shelf. There were three others just like it. Pulling them all down, I set them at equal lengths apart. All were identical and mysteriously locked. Pulling my wand from my new robes I muttered unlocking spells unsuccessfully. Draco stepped over, now very interested, and tried a few spells of his own. No luck. The books were mesmerizing. I ended up purchasing one, while Draco bought the other three.
It seemed with all of his schoolbooks, the books on animagi, the books on Quidditch, and the new books, that Draco was holding a small library. He even purchased a storybook that switched stories every time one was finished, for Jason. Jason was smiling wildly as he whispered excitedly about Repunzel. I thanked Draco repeatedly, finally asking for what he asked for in return. He simply shrugged with a grin and told me not to worry about it.
I caught up with Harry, Ron and Hermoine in 3 broomsticks. They were laughing and having butter beer, so I joined in. I would pick up potion ingredients alone. There was too much I needed that would make people suspicious if they came along. Harry was staring at me a little more than usual, and when I finally asked he said that he never had really noticed how pretty my eyes were. Of course I blushed and Ron laughed at me so when he wasn't looking I turned his teeth black and stunned his tongue so he slurred his speech.
"So Harssy, maysee I'ss trys ouss for sa Quidess seam tis sear." Ron looked up, surprised at what he said, while Harry and Hermoine laughed. He opened his mouth to protest and gave us a glimpse at his charcoal black teeth. This sent them in to further depths if laughter. He angrily looked at me.
"Ginsy stosp tis ight sow!" I innocently raised my hands to show I was holding no wand. I blinked my eyes twice and he was back to normal. He looked at Harry and Hermoine who innocently raised their hands. He slipped under the table to check if we were hiding any thing. Hermoine burst out laughing and I knew he was probably ticking her or something so I stood and excused my self. Was it just me or did Harry look slightly disappointed. Oh well. I'm off to the Apocathary.
***-
I spotted her heading into the Apocathary and decided that Jason and I would go just to see perhaps what extras she might be picking up. Shriveled Doxy hair can only be used in three spells, all of which create invisibility, so you see what I mean in saying that certain ingredients can say a lot about you. Jason and I had already been, but he would enjoy looking at the pickled toad eye again. She spoke vividly to the man behind the counter before she was handed a rather large bag containing what, I do not know. With several other smaller orders, none I noticed were on the school supplies list she paid in a strange currency and turned to leave. Quickly I turned and tried desperately to find something interesting to pretend to look at. She noticed me. Drat!
"Draco… I thought I saw you leave this store before I entered." Crap, why did she have to see me leave? I blushed before turning toward her.
"I-I forgot to pick um… this up," I breathed in a semi irritated tone, hopping it was convincing enough.
"If it's to become an animagi you need the unicorn horns to already have been powdered and bathed in the Dragon tears." She answered it knowledgeably. I know I must have looked stunned, because she answered, "If you're wondering how I knew that you wanted to become one, it was because you were looking at the amangi books earlier, and your not the only one in your year who wants to become one."
"Are you suggesting that Potter, Granger and Weas-I mean your brother are trying to do this as well," I pressed on. She smirked.
"Perhaps, but with Hermoine being the only one with half her mind in the potions, it will be quite a while before they even get that much done." She had a laughter filled smile that made me never want to end the conversation, but how did she already know that much about the transformation. I asked.
"Now that I can't tell you, for I have been sworn to secrecy about not blabbing to anyone I don't need to."
"And you haven't even told your family about your nightly escapes. How secret can it be?" Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Malfoy! Now why ever did you have to open your exceedingly big mouth?
"H-how do you know weather I've told my folks or not?"
