Twisted Paths
Part 7
"Malfoy?" Harry asked curiously after Dumbledore had left.
"What Potter?"
"Do you want to ah… call a truce?" Harry asked. Draco reluctantly nodded.
"Alright… as long as our houses don't find out…."
"Yeah sure… what ever…" Harry then realised it was time for dinner.
"Well we better get going for dinner…" Draco and Harry said at the same time. They nodded and walked towards the Great Hall where Harry stopped to make it look like they hadn't walked together.
"Yo Harry what's with you and Ron?" Fred asked Harry just shock his head.
"If he wants to be pigheaded its his choice."
"You started it" Ron retorted.
"No you did" Harry responded automatically.
"Honestly would you two stop arguing?" Hermoine broke in. Suddenly there was a cough at the table.
"Miss Granger can I please talk to you?" Professor Dumbledore asked at dinner.
"Certainly Professor" Ron exchanged a look with Hermoine but didn't notice the smile on Harry's face. Harry watched as Hermoine got up and followed Professor Dumbledore out of the hall. Suddenly there was a yell of surprise and Harry looked up. In the middle of the hall there was now a boy who looked startling like Harry.
"Where am I?" the boy muttered. On impulse Harry looked up at the staff table and notice Remus and Sirius looking at the boy in shock. Harry also noticed that Snape was looking at the boy with the look that he normally reserved for Harry, Sirius and Remus. Harry wondered what was going on and with a quick glance at Ron he noticed he wasn't the only one. The boy looked up and looked right into Harry's eyes.
"You look just like me… but have Lilly's eyes…" The boy noticed out loud.
"I'm Harry Potter…" Harry introduced himself.
"That can't be… I don't have any relatives…" The boy stuttered. Harry looked confused.
"Neither do I… well in less you count Dudley but…." Harry trailed off. Suddenly the door opened and Hermoine and Professor Dumbledore came in. Hermoine looked like she was bursting with news. (Well she was wasn't she?)
"Guess what I'm the new Prefect" Hermoine told the group when she sat down.
"Contracts Herm, who's the other one?" Ron asked wondering out loud. Hermoine turned red.
"Uh well you see…" Hermoine looked at Harry and noticed the boy standing in front of Harry.
"I am Ron…" Harry spoke up with out missing a beat. Ron sighed and turned around.
"Oh Hi I'm Hermoine Granger" Hermoine said introducing herself to the boy.
"Ron Weasly" Ron spoke up a second later.
"Ron Weasly are you related to Arthur Weasly?" The boy asked.
"Yeah he's my father" The boy looked shocked.
"What is it?" Harry asked concerned.
"The Arthur Weasly I know is my Muggles Studies Professor" Ron laughed.
"My father a professor?" The boy nodded.
"Uh forgive me for sounding rude, but what is your name?" Harry asked.
"Oh sorry for not mentioning it earlier. I'm James Potter"
