Chapter Four******************************************************************

"Ginny hurry up"yelled Mrs. Weasley.

Morning had come faster then they expected. That morning everything was complete chaos. Ron couldn't find that essay he had written the day before. Then Fred couldn't find his head boy badge. (Surprise, surprise), George couldn't find his Quidditch captain badge. Ginny was sill searching for her necklace her friend had given her the night before. Hermione and Nicole were the only ones who had all their luggage complete. They were both patiently and sleepily waiting inside the taxi, Mrs. Weasley had ordered.

They arrived at Kings Cross station in the nick of time. They said good bye to Mrs. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie before they departed.

The twins saw their friend Lee Jordan and went to talk with him. Ginny spotted that guy she was talking with the other night and went to sit with him.

Ron and Hermione were looking for Harry, while Nicole was frantically looking for Dominique.

They found Harry in the last compartment by himself. He lit up a brilliant smile when he saw Nicole. She smiled back.

"Listen you guys I'll be right back I have to look for someone"said Nicole.

"Sure"

"Right"

"Save you a seat" said Harry.

She ran through every compartment, looking for Dominique, when she finally found her in deep conversation with Fred Weasley. Nicole cleared her throat. Dominique turned around and saw Nicole. She hugged her till Nicole couldn't breath.

"Yeah I missed you to"said Nicole gasping for breath.

"Sorry Fred, but I'm going to have to steal Dominique for a while"

"Right"he said spotting Angelina.

Dominique and Nicole ran all the way to Ron's compartment.

Gasping for breath, Nicole reached open the door. There Ron and Hermione were in the middle of a chess game. Dominique had her head down trying to breathe normally.

Ron looked up at Dominique. Then back at his chess game. Then look back at her slowly and gasped. He stood up.

"Oh my God!, it's you"he said to her.

"Oh my God! It's me!"said Dominique still with her down. She looked up at him.

"Oh my God it's you"she said pointing at Ron.

"Yeah I know"he said.

"He's the guy that I met at the library remember"Dominique told Nicole.

"Oh see your perfect for each other, your stupid and slow, I shouldn't be talking but.."

Harry was quiet, all he did was stare at Nicole.

Ron and Dominique were in deep conversation about what happened during their summer. Ron got up and they left to another compartment for more privacy.

Now Hermione, Harry, and Nicole were there.

"So um how are you?"Harry asked Nicole.

"Fine thank you, and you, how are you?"

"Fine, just fine, can I confess something to you"said Harry

"Um okay what is it"

"Yesterday, it was um my first time that I um hm uh"

"Just say it"

"It was the first time I ever kissed a girl, it was my first kiss"he said blushing.

"That is not true"cut in Hermione, "remember you kissed me when I was over Ron's house last summer"

"That doesn't count" said Harry, "we were swimming and well this one here couldn't swim that well and she was drowning so I preformed the breath to breath thing and well when she woke up she stuck her tongue in to my mouth, which was completely nasty by the way"

Nicole giggled, while Hermione turned scarlet. She got up and left.

"Finally, privacy"Harry said sliding to a seat next to her, and putting his arm around her neck.

She laid down her head in his shoulder. They talked for half the trip.

In the compartment next to their's Hermione was by herself. She was hugging herself, while small tears slid down her eyes.

Why me?, she thought, her compartment slid open, she quickly wiped off the tears. To her surprise it was someone she had never seen in her life. A guy her age, who made her feel like she was lying on a soft cloud.

"Sorry I noticed this one wasn't full, everywhere else is, so I was wondering if um well do you mind if I sit with you?"the boy asked.

"No of course not what is your name?"she asked.

"William, yours?"

"Hermione"

"I think that is beautiful name"

She giggled, "thanks, how come I've never seen you before I assume you are starting fifth year"

"Yes you assumed right, I am a transfer student from Drumstrang, I got a letter saying that I will be in Gryffindor house"

Her eyes lightened up, "that's the house that I am in"she said.

"I guess we'll be really close friends then"he said. The lights faded from her eyes. That's what everyone wants with Hermione, to be friends.

" I am so bad at chess"Dominique told Ron

"Really I could teach you, I would be glad to"he said softly touching the side of her face. She snuggled in his arms, they both fell asleep.

"Oh shit seriously!"exclaimed Nicole.

"No joke, honestly"said Harry

"So your godfather is a serial killer only that he wasn't, they just framed him, and you were about to clear his name when your main witness escaped, because he was the one that framed him"

"Exactly"

"Oh so it seem's that you've been in some adventures, I heard that there was a death at Hogwarts last year and that you were involved"

Harry told her all about the triwizard tournament and about the maze and how Voldemort killed Cedric (tear, sniffle, tear). And about Crouch.

He finished telling his story when the train halted.

They were there.

Harry and Nicole jumped out of the Hogwarts express holding hands. Dominique and Ron did the same.

Hagrid was there to receive the first year's. The horseless carriages were there for the rest of the school.

Oliver, Cho, Harry, Nicole, Ron, and Dominique went in one carriage.

"Where's Hermione?"asked Cho.

"I dunno, last time I saw her was at the train, then she went to another compartment"said Nicole.

They reached Hogwarts entrance. Dumbledore was at the main entrance. He spotted Nicole and Dominique, and walked over to them.

"Girls I see you made it self and sound"said Dumbledore

"Gramps!"they both exclaimed.

"Harry, Ron, Cho, and Oliver of course, hope you had a safe summer, welcome back. Oliver, Nicole and Dominique I need you to sit with the teacher's" he saw their frustrated expression and quickly added, "just for today"

"All right gramps"said Nicole.

The great hall was decorated with black drapes in memory of Cedric Diggory. (tear, sniffle ,tear) After the sorting the feast started. Then came the announcements.

"Welcome everyone to another year at Hogwarts. This year won't be the same, because someone who was suppose to be here with us is not. So before I say the announcement's please out of respect let's raise our cups to Cedric Diggory who forever will live in our heart's."

Everyone did so.

"Now, here we have four new teachers. First our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Fluer Decour you all now her from last year"

There was a weak applause.

"Now I am very sad to announce that your old flying teacher Madame Hooch has retired at the last moment, so now your new teacher, if he accepts, will be Oliver Wood"

"Of course I accept"

There was a loud applause especially from the Gryffindor table, there were none from the Slytherin table.

"And his assistant will be no other than my first of two, beautiful granddaughters Nicole"

Nicole stood up and smiled at the crowd.

There was a stunned silence. Girls looked at her with envy, and boys looked at her, well they looked at her the way boys do. (Y'all know what I mean....I hope).

"I would also like to announce that my other granddaughter Dominique will be assisting Fluer"

Dominique, same reaction with Dominique, like Nicole.

After that he dismissed them and everyone went to sleep. He called Nicole and Dominique aside.

"So do you guys know which house you want to sleep in"he asked them.

"Gryffindor" they said together.

"Very well"he said.

Nicole and Dominique met Harry and Ron at the common room. Everyone was talking about both girls.

"I don't see any family resemblance"someone said when they stepped in.

They looked around with admiration. Ron was scanning the room for Hermione. He saw her in a corner talking to a guy he had never seen before. He decided it was none of his business and dismissed it from his mind.

That night Hermione laid in bed thinking, how much she liked Ron. She hated the fact that someone he barely knows wins his heart, then someone who knows him for almost five years. It wasn't fair.

I'll win him back, I'll get him, she thought.

"But how can I beat Dominique, she's everything that I'm not, well psychically"she said aloud.

"Hm well there's always a polyjuice potion, yeah that's it, I'll make a polyjuice potion, pretend to be Dominique, âE~break up' with Ron, after he's all broken hearted, guess who's going to be there to help him get through, his good old âE~friend' Hermione"she said.

"Yea that's the it. It's the perfect plan, I should write this down step by step, we'll see who's the boss of Ron, Dominique, we'll soon see"she gave a sinister laugh, while she got up to write everything down.

"But until I finish the potion I have to do something else before those two get any closer"she thought and thought, until finally the idea came to her.

~`(Is it just me or isn't Hermione a lil bitch, then again it is MY story hee, hee)~`

Nicole laid wide awake that night. She never felt so close, so loved my someone that wasn't her family. She felt like if Harry was âE~the one'.

~`(trust me I'll make sure he is âE~the one' hee, hee hey I'm hyper can't you tell)~`

Dominique was wide awake also. She was bored. She got up and walked over to the boy's dormitory. She to Ron's bed. She checked if anyone in the room was awake. They were all asleep, except Ron.

"Hey what are you doing awake?"he asked

"Thinking of you"she said taking of her shirt and lying down next to Ron.

Ron was as stiff as board.

"Relax Ron" whispered Dominique in his ear, "it's not like we're not going to do anything"

A look of disappointment over-shadowed Ron's face.

(Maybe I shouldn't be writing while I'm hyper, or typing for that matter)

Seeing this Dominique laughed. They fell asleep in each other's arms. Neither of them noticed Dominique's necklace glowing in the dark.

The next day it was the girl's first lesson.

"Put your right hand over the left side of the broom and say up"instructed Oliver Wood to this year's first year's.

A little girl fell of her broom. Nicole ran over to her, to see if she was all right. The little girl had a very strong resemblance to Dominique.

She said to Nicole, "be careful with Dominique, true friendship will save her"

"What?, what are you talking about"said Nicole extremely puzzled.

But at that moment the little girl vanished. Nicole gasped. She ran to see Dumbledore, for

Dumbledore had warned both girls that if anything strange happens, to tell him as soon as possible.

She ran all the way to his office.

"Grandpa, grandpa"

"What is it Nicole, calm down, take a deep breath and now tell me what it is."

She told him about little girl. Dumbledore had a troubled look upon him.

"Oh I knew this would happen, it's the bloody necklace"he thundered

"Grandpa!"Nicole exclaimed, "what about the necklace"

"Has anything funny ever happen involving the necklace?"he asked her.

"Well um yeah"she said uncertainly, "there was this one time where it started to glow bright green, I know it sounds stupid, but it did and we got freaked out, we were going to tell you we but as soon as we said that the glow vanished"

"Hm"he said, he was in deep thought.

"Um grandpa?"she said after five minutes of silence.

"Oh yes, Nicole hmm, yeah so that's it"

"Yeah, why?"she said suspiciously.

"Well it's about Dominique's father, it's kinda of a long story"he said

"Oh don't worry I have all the time in the world"said Nicole sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea.

"I also don't know if I should be telling you this I mean you are young and you'll probably tell her and besides it is way to personal"

"Grandpa, look at who you're talking to, it's me Nicole you know that if you don't want me to tell someone I won't, I mean talking to me is like talking to yourself"she said

"Hm you got a point there"

"See"she said in a triumphal voice.

"Well you see this kind of has to do with Harry also"he said uncertainly. She frowned a little.

"Okay now you HAVE to tell me"

"Don't worry I will just not everything"

"Dominique's father is alive"he said. She gasped.

"Oh my God, are you serious, I mean that's great, why didn't you tell her that before"

"Because her father's name is Tom...Tom Riddle"

Nicole just sat there stunned. She tried to talk but couldn't find her voice.

"You see Tom was in love with Lilly, well you know Harry's mother, now the thing is that Lilly had a twin sister, her name was Angela, not a lot of people knew they were identical twins because Angela changed her appearance. Angela fell in love with Tom Riddle, but Lilly detested him, she was in love with James Potter. Tom would do anything to get Lilly's attention nothing worked. Years went by and Lilly got married Tom didn't know. Angela got really frustrated with her sister for Tom had proposed a lot of times."

Nicole was silent. Dumbledore continued.

"Angela then changed her appearance to look like Lilly. She went to see Tom she tricked Tom into thinking she was Lilly. They married after a year she had Dominique, but Tom, he was known as Voldemort now, found out that Angela was not Lilly and killed her. Now before he murdered Angela, she possessed a very strange necklace, it was a little golden needle. This needle isn't just any ordinary needle, it is a two part piece. A ring, if you put the needle through the ring it will form a key. A key that will make whoever connected the two pieces the most powerful men or women on earth, in the muggle or wizard world"

Nicole gasped.

"Voldemort has the second piece"

"Wait, wait, wait"she said quickly, "if Voldemort is as heartless as everyone says why didn't he kill Dominique and why didn't he take the necklace"

"As much as he hated what Angela did, he loved his daughter, I guess he wasn't as heartless, because he left her at my doorsteps, I saw him walk off in a dark black cloak he turned around and mouthed âE~take care of her' the letter said her name was Dominique and so on and he didn't know that the needle was the second part of the key he put it on Dominique because he felt she needed something to remember her mom, just like HE had a locket to remember his mom."

"I think I understand why the necklace glows, if you said it is a two part piece, it probably glows because it knows it's partner is near, which means Voldemort is near"she said frantically.

"She's in danger this is serious, but he is her father and he felt that kind of affection for her once he might feel it again right"

"No Nicole, I know your scared, I am to I love her to, but her time will come when she has to face her father, I know how she will feel, I'm just glad she has Ron the way you have Harry"

Nicole blushed.

"Well you better get to dinner as you didn't do much today"

"Grandpa I don't want to assist anymore I want to join classes"she told him.

"Hm I'll see what I can arrange, but you don't have any uniforms"

"I know"she said with a slick smile
