It was dark. The lake shimmered in the moonlight. It was a peaceful night, unless you saw what happened next.
A hooded figure ran from the Forbidden Forest and dove into the lake. Minutes passed. The figure came up and stood on the shoreline(do lakes have those?) and walked into the castle.
Christine was sitting on the floor of her dormitory having her hair braided by Kat. Hermione was doing homework on her bed and Katy was gossiping with Monica. Kat had said that they should get out of the staring crowds to help the twins stay as calm as possible.
"Well… look on the bright side… if people ask if you've ever met the famous Harry Potter, you can say you're related." Kat pointed out.
"Yeah… I guess" Christine trailied off
"Why is this so horrible anyways?" Katy asked.
"Because. We thought our parents were normal people… now… ones the father of an evil dude, one's the mother of the only survivor of the same evil dude… It's just…. Yesterday I was normal…."
"Um… actually… you've always been a Potter-Riddle." Hermione said from her bed.
Monica stood up quickly and left the room and you could hear her footsteps running down the hall. Christine looked up.
"Wait here." Christine followed Monica.
Katy stood up. Kat pushed her down. "No. Let them be alone."
By the time Christine caught up to Monica she had reached the kitchens. Monica had tears streaming down her face and did not know Christine was there. Monica pushed the door open and slid in. Christine followed and hid behind a stove/oven. Monica walked a little farther and stopped. The hooded figure walked up to her. Christine peeked over then ducked back down before she was seen.
"She found out?" The cloaked figure had a scratchy, male voice.
"Yes." Monica's voiced was heavy with guilt.
"It was bound to happen eventually."
Christine sat there, not daring to look at what was happening, and relied only on her ears.
"I know… but she seems so hurt… Why can't I tell her?"
"She'll never understand…"
"Can't we try?"
"No."
There was silence. After a minute, Monica spoke.
"They'll come looking for me in a minute. I'd better go." Her voice was hard and trying to hid the shakiness.
"Then go"
Christine took that as her cue to get out of the kitchen as if her life depended on it. She scrambled silently out the door. Just as she was about to make a break for it, the door opened, revealing Monica. Monica stared.
"What are you doing here?"
"Better question what are you doing here?" Christine glared.
"W-what do you mean?"
"You knew?"
"Knew what?"
"And what do you need to tell me?"
"N-nothing…"
Christine huffed and ran up to the dormitories with Monica racing after her.
"Let me explain" Monica said for the 100000 time the next morning.
"No. After all, I wouldn't understand."
Harry looked between them. He paused.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Monica's just been lying to me my whole life."
"I have not"
"Oh, really?"
"Really really." (Wooo! Go Shrek!)
Hermione cut it, "We've been arguing all day. Can we PLEASE talk this out?"
"No" the twins said at the same time
Hermione nearly screamed, "JEEZ! You guys won't even stop if I said I was pregnant!"
The whole room went quiet.
"Okay, so maybe you would stop…" Hermione said.
There was more silence
"I AM NOT PREGNANT!" Hermione yelled.
