Chapter 9 Meeting James

When Aphelia awoke the train had topped on the last stop and they were going to have to walk the rest of the way. Aphelia had discovered that she hadn't hated Draco in the first place and that there was a spell placed over them, but she didn't dare tell Draco. Besides, she knew he wouldn't believe her anyways! So she just took all the hits he threw at her, and occasionally she threw one at him. She was having a hard time starting crap with him, though, so she knew Draco was getting slightly suspicious.

"Hey, WONDER GIRL! Can you stop fantasizing over that guy over there and hurry your fat ass up?" Draco yelled. Little did he know Aphelia was looking in the mirror at him not the other guy next to her.

"Oh, so now my ass is FAT? I thought you enjoyed my ass!" Aphelia yelled indignantly.

" Hi, I'm James and I just wanted to let you know that your ass isn't fat, it isn't small, it's just perfect!" said the other hot guy next to her.

"Why thank you James! I'm Aphelia, it was nice to meet you!" she said, flashing James her award winning smile and showing Draco a look of triumph, "and this is my idiotic ex boyfriend Draco!" Aphelia added to him. James head instantly looked at Draco.

"NOT DRACO MALFOY? WOW! I never thought I'd ever get to you !I thought you'd look a LOT older than you do!" this James said. Aphelia laughed a little over his little crack at Draco.

" Okay, but WHO are you?" asked Draco. He seemed rather irritated that James was moving in on Aphelia, which made Aphelia happier than ever. It proved that he still had some sort of feelings for her.

" It's me, James Copper? We met a few years ago when my father joined 'you-know-who's' alliance! I have been trying to find you so I could get to Hogwarts with you! Durmstrang just isn't safe enough for me, I need to be around Dumbledore! And I knew that if I was with you two I'd be able to make it without harm!" he told them as they exited the train completely. Aphelia liked James a lot. He had this Draco-like feeling to him, except that he had bleach-blonde hair and he spiked it. His deep blue eyes were absolutely to DIE for.

"Why, I remember now! You had brown hair then, though, didn't you?" Draco asked him. That's how Aphelia new that her comment on him being a bleach blonde was correct. James just nodded.

"And might I add that you look absolutely good enough to EAT as a blonde?" Aphelia asked in the most seductive way imaginable. James smiled at that moment and Aphelia saw his brilliantly white teeth and the cutest little dimples she had seen in her life!( imagine James as a blonde, British Kevin Zegers!) Draco made a sound which obviously meant that he was disgusted with the two.

"Okay! Can we start leaving yet?" Draco hissed at the two. Aphelia started to laugh and decided to have some fun. *He's Jealous of you!* she implanted that thought into James head. *How DID you do that?* was implanted back into her head. Aphelia's eyes opened wide in horror. *YOU can implant and read thoughts also?!?* She sent back. *YEAH! For a couple years now!* he said. Aphelia smiled. Could they BE more perfect together? She wondered, silently, though, so that he wouldn't be able to pick it up.

"We can leave once I, er, 'borrow' the right equipment!" she said, using her eyes and only her eyes to pick up a tent and three sleeping bags and floated them along slowly and carefully to keep anyone from noticing as they left the train. *Bet you couldn't do that!* Aphelia implanted into James' head. He just smiled and shook his head no. Draco couldn't stand the two's flirty habits anymore.

"Hey babe! You wouldn't be looking for a good time would you?" Draco said to the first hot girl that excited the train. She blew him off and Aphelia laughed.

"Draco, you might be hot, but you're pick-up lines aren't any good! You and James should talk for a little!" Aphelia said. James smiled that cute smile of his again and Aphelia instantly melted in his eyes. Draco had to think.

"So? Come ON guys! Let's go! I'm sick of waiting to get to Hogwarts! I want to get there tonight! We don't have THAT long to walk, anyways!" Draco said, trying to change the subject.

"Walk? We don't half to walk! There was more wizards on that train, I'm sure Aphelia can float their broomsticks off of that train!" James hinted. Aphelia moved her fingers around by her temples and searched for the brooms. She then summoned them to her, and they arrived only a few minutes after. As Draco and James mounted their brooms something hit Aphelia. She hadn't been ON a broom before!

"Uh, guys, this is gonna sound REALLY stupid, but I've never been on a broom before!" she told them.

"This ought to be interesting!" teased Draco. Aphelia gave him a look of death, and Draco quickly shut up. It's not that he was scared of her; it was MUCH more than that! He had seen the extent of her powers, and he knew that he was okay to be scared for her. He only hoped that James knew what he was getting himself into.

"Okay, all you have to do is mount it, and don't be afraid. Then hover for a little to get the feel of it!" he said when they were far enough away from the train and into the countryside to not be seen by muggles. Aphelia mounted the broom, and it was the most amazing thing she had done.

"I should have known I'd be a natural, I mean, my brother can do it EASILY!" Aphelia bragged in her own way. Draco snarled a little.

"Really? Who's your brother?" James asked her, smiling. Aphelia choked a little. Had he really not noticed? I mean sure! Her scar was covered, but it was still SLIGHTLY visible. Draco's wicked smile had appeared on his face again. He seemed to be enjoying it. Aphelia took the broom back down to the ground to face him.

"You mean, you really don't know?" she asked him. James face was giving off a blank expression. Unlike Draco, Aphelia had noticed that James seemed to wear his expression on his sleeve. Aphelia took his hand and made him wipe the cover-up off of her scar.

" EW! I fell for Harry Potter! You're disgusting man! I can't believe you led me on like that!" James yells. Aphelia sighed a little and shook her head as she looked at the ground, and Draco had busted up laughing.

"NO, no, no! I'm NOT Harry Potter, though I am his twin sister, Aphelia Potter!" she said as simply as she could. James squinted his eyebrows.

"But I was told you died? By my father a while ago? He said you brought down Voldemort and died yourself in the process?" he asked.

"Close, but not quite. Draco died in my arms and I became insane. I killed Voldemort and then was put into an insane asylum. To make a long story short, I found Draco, came to kill him, and now we are BOTH trying to get to Dumbledore before Voldemort and his minions come for us!" she said, and she smiled. Then she mounted her broomstick once again, " I doubt we'll make it tonight, and I am saying that we enter at night so we will be camping out tonight! Plus we'll be needing our rest!' she said as the other two took off the ground, following closely behind.
