Stormie was having a horrible day that just kept getting worse and worse.
First, all month long she had been worrying because she couldn't just pick
who she wanted to bring her to the dance, oh no, that would make her life
to easy, Dumbledore himself would pair them.
"What if I get Neville?" Melody whined on the other side of her.
"YUCK! Would you please shut up?" Snapped a very annoyed Brook.
This had been going on all month. Melody would remember a particularly ugly boy and start to bawl because she was scared she would end up with the ugly people. 'She really is very vain.' Stormie thought as she watched her cousin. After Melody whined for a minute, Brook would yell at her because she too was scared of getting a less than perfect guy. To make her life even worse, she kept getting all her spells wrong and it had only been a month into the term. The only class she was still OK in was Potions, and that was only because she had to show Malfoy up. Fortunately for her, Snape had decided to help her, unknowingly of course, and deemed her his new favorite.
"WOULD YOU BOTH SHUT UP!" asked a very angry Kat. "Gods I am so sick of this. We have known about this for a month, and you two are still carrying on! And just so you know, I found out today that you two could end up with first years. So shut up your whining!"
"First years?" Brook asked in amazement. "They would put us with first years? Why? That's repulsive!" Brook was whining.
"Because you two are so vain." Brite said as he sat down and started shoveling mashed potatoes on his plate.
"I am not vain!" Melody seethed.
"Yes you are." Ginny said as she sat down next to Brite.
"I am not!" she said.
"You have a line in your make up." Bradian said as he sat on the other side of Ginny. Melody instantly pulled out a mirror and started examining her face.
"See, vain." Brite said through a mouthful of mashed potatoes. Melody turned a tinge of pink, and every one else laughed at her.
"So, who you hoping you get paired with?" Brite asked turning to Stormie.
"I'm not going." She said while pushing a couple of string beans around her plate.
"Why the hell not?" asked Bradian. "Its your damn birthday, we aren't just going to leave you all alone on your birthday!"
Stormie shrugged. "I just don't want to celebrate." She said in a tiny voice.
"It's your sixteenth birthday, you have to celebrate, and mom would kill us if we let you sulk in your room." Brite said.
"Speaking of mom, she said she was going to send all your presents from everyone early." Bradain said as he studied Kat talking to Ginny.
"Storms, you still have a full weekend plus next week to change your mind, besides, its mandatory, its to prompt other house relationships. Of course there will still be pairing inside of houses, but you may just get that hot Ravenclaw over there." Brook said pointing to a dark headed boy.
"EWWW! Can you please refrain from calling my brother hot while I am around?" Kat asked while looking terrified. Brook just smiled and shrugged.
"Why do I have to go if I don't want to?" Stormie whined.
"Because the whole wide world is out to get you, Johnson." Came the all to familiar draw from behind her.
"Hey Draco, just the man I wanted to see!" Brite said with a goofy grin.
"Why?" Mumbled Stormie so as the only one who heard her was Kat. "So you can go join the Dark Lord and sip tea?" Kat gave her a sad look but didn't join in on her friend's sick joke at her brother's expense.
"Yeah, we were wondering, wanna go to Hogsmeade with us tomorrow?" Bradian finished for his twin with a mouthful of potatoes.
Stormie's head snapped up. "WHAT!? He can't go! We were going to go! You said just the three of us!" Stormie ended in a pout.
"You can still go; I was just inviting Draco here because we wanted to go to Gin-Gin's brothers' store. You know the ones that just opened the joke shop?" Brite said hoping his sister wouldn't back out.
"I don't want to go anyway, I have work to do!" Stormie said as she pushed up and stormed past a smirking Draco. Ginny and Kat jumped up to follow their friend.
"That went well, didn't it?" Bradian said still looking at the doors where his baby sister had disappeared.
"Marvelous." Draco agreed before setting down in one of the now vacant chairs, earning himself death glares from the rest of the table.
~*~*~*~*
"STORMS!" Kat ran after her friend with Ginny. Unfortunately for the two of them, Stormie was faster at running and was progressing with rapid speed towards the Forbidden Forest. About two feet from the tree line the other two girls watched as their friend collapsed.
"Stormie! Are you OK?" Ginny asked as the reached the girl now lying on her back staring at the stars.
"I hate him. I hate him. I hate him." Was all the girl said before breaking out in sobs that wracked her small frame.
~*~*~*~*
"You know, you can't just barge in on the girl's life like that and then leave. You know that, right?" Blaise asked Draco. Draco merely shrugged.
"I didn't barge in on her life, she barged in on mine." He said as he looked over his Potions notes.
"Oh, give up Malfoy!" Blaise said rolling his eyes. "You like her, she likes you. You're not a death eater, you don't plan on being a death eater! You arrant going against the master's orders. Tell her you like her!" Blaise had been sitting in the same position for nearly an hour.
"I can't! I would eventually hurt her, you know it, I know it, and all the god damn gods know it!" Draco said turning to look Blaise in the face the first time sience he had shown up in his room.
"WHY? WHY CAN"T YOU? LOOK AT YOU SELF DRACO! YOU'RE WASTING AWAY! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR GRADES WENT DOWN THIS LOW?" Blaise had jumped off the Black leather couch in Draco's private living room.
Never." Draco said not looking his friend in the eye any longer, but looking past him out the window.
"You love her Drake, we all see it. Well except maybe her because she's too pissed right now. We both know that your father has threatened you countless times with the same exact threats. He's even gone through with them before. . . well except the threats about Storms, but we both know that he would have to go through a hell of a lot of people to get to her. Gods, I hear her dad right up there with Dumbledore, Hell, Dumbledore's her great uncle." Blaise said. Draco looked up.
"How the hell did you figure that out?" he asked.
Blaise shrugged. "Mel." Draco looked confused. "She didn't tell you?" he asked, Draco shook his head. "Draco, nothing can touch that kid, I swear. The devil would have a better chance getting into heaven than your father would have getting to Stormie. Her grandmother and Dumbledore were brother and sister."
"Than that means my sadistic mother fuckin' father cant touch her! Can't get within five fuckin' feet of her or any other Johnson? What about Mel?" Draco asked, raking his hand through his silvery blonde locks (a/n: sigh)
"He can't get anywhere near any of them without getting his ass knocked to kingdom come. They have some pretty intense light magic, it has something or other to do with a legend, or was it a myth? Any way, Mel is from Storms' mother side, and the light magic comes from Storms' father side. Mel doesn't have that much light in her, but her mum and Storms mum are sisters and from a long line of seers. Landan, Storms' brother is a seer. Gaza can do wandless magic. Devin can call the Fairy Folk. Brite and Bradian are both natural born Animaguses. And that leaves Stormie, something about the one that binds it? I don't know, she went in to some freaky trance and when she came out she refused to tell me anymore. She said it wasn't hers to tell and I should talk to one of the line of Aphrodite, when I asked her who that was she told me it would be one of the Johnson's." Blaise finished it with a yawn and glanced at the clock on Draco's night stand: 130.
"How long have you known about this?" Draco asked the boy next to him.
"Umm.. Yesterday? I would have told you earlier, but you have been in a pretty foul mood, with that and the dance and going crazy cause I just know I'm gonna have to kill some little retard over Mel, I haven't had time to tell you."
"Thanks, now I just have to talk to Brite or Bradian." Draco mumbled.
"Well, I can see you're busy coming up with a plan as to get more info, so I guess I will be leaving you to your own devices. Night." With that he got up and waited to make sure Draco knew he was gone before he started mumbling to himself thinking he was still there. When Draco didn't acknowledge him, he cleared his throat and said in an impatient voice, "Drake." Draco instantly looked up.
"Wha? Oh. Night." With that Blaise left for the night while Draco thought up ways to bring up the subject of a legend that he was already familiar with, the legend of the keeper of the magic.
