Chapter 2
Genevieve had no sooner walked into the Griffindor common room when she was surrounded by Harry, Hermione, and Ron. "What happened?" They all asked in unison. Genevieve opened her mouth to say her and Draco had had a lovely walk but Professor McGonagell's voice from the entrance stopped her. "Miss Conant, the Head Master would like a word with you.. now." There was whispering from the other students but Genevieve ignored them and followed Professor McGonagell out the door. Faintly she heard Ron say, "A few minutes alone with Malfoy and she's already in trouble." Stiffening her shoulders she kept her head held high and her eyes straight in front of her as she followed McGonagell to the Phoenix statue that was the entrance to her god father's office.
"Lemon drops." The older femal stated causing the stair case to rise from below the statue. Stepping on to the stairs Genevieve waited as they took her to Dumbeldore's office. 'Wonder how much trouble I'm in.' She mused silently as she chewed nervously on her bottom lip. "Welcome to my office Genevieve." Genevieve casted her eyes to the floor as she took a seat in front of his desk. "You wanted to see me sir?" When only silence greeted her question she looked up into his bemused eyes. "If you wanted the password all you had to do was ask." His tone was even and Genevieve relaxed into her chair. "I'm sorry sir. I guess I was showing off." Nodding he pushed a jar of lollipops towards her and cleared his throat. "Threatening the portraits is a serious offence. You are going to have to serve detention." Leaning forward she took a pink lollipop out of the jar and after unwrapping it popped it in her mouth nodding in agreement to his descision.
"I really think I can reach him sir." She said softly taking the lolli out of her mouth. Dumbeldore simply smiled and sat back. Popping the lollipop back in her mouth she savored the flavor of watermelon as the two of them sat there and studied each other in silence. "You'll be attending your detention with Draco with Professor Sprout." Taking the lolli back out of her mouth she gave her god father a curious look. "Why does Draco have detention?" His eyes twinkeling he gave her a wide smile. "You were both outside unattended after dinner." He stated standing up and walking around the desk to where she sat. Wrapping the lollipop up she tossed it in the waste basket before standing up. Looping her arm through his she allowed him to lead her to the stone stair case.
"So you really think you can reach him?" He asked her as they stopped at the opening of the stair well. Looking up at him she gave him a small smile and a reassuring nod. "Ofcourse, my parents have always taught me and my sister to see the good in others." She told him as she pulled her arm slowly free. "Get a good night's rest Genevieve, you're going to need it. Oh and do try to make friends with the other Griffindors, especially Harry, Hermione and Ron." Genevieve stifled a groan and nodded. "Yes yes, play nice I know." She said with mock grumpiness as she trudged down the stairs, Dumbeldore's chuckle echoing off the stone walls. Suppressing a smile as she stepped out of the lowering stair well to face a very stern faced Professor McGonagell.
"Go back to your common room and try to get to know your fellow Griffindors. They will be your family for the school year until your sister gets here." Heading back to the Griffindor common room Genevieve wondered if Jacinth would be placed in Griffindor with her or is she would be placed in Ravenclaw. 'She'll probably be placed with the smarties. After all my sister is the smartest out of our pair.' She thought as she entered the now empty Griffindor common room. "So much for getting to know my house mates." She said softly as she headed towards the stairs up to the bedrooms. Going into the room she hoped was the one the girls slept in she was relieved to find it was. Heading to the only empty bed she quietly laid down and gathered her pillow to her and before falling asleep hoped her sister remembered to bring her cat Charlie with her when she came.
She woke the next morning to chatter around the room which came to a hushed silence the moment she sat up and looked around. Shrugging her shoulders she stood up, grabbed her change of robes, and headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower before heading down to breakfast. When she arrived in the dining hall Draco was waiting for her. "I've got detention with Sprout this afternoon. Can I meet you afterwards?" Shaking her head no she sat down at the end of the Griffindor table and turned to look at him as he sat down beside her. "What do you mean no?" He exclaimed, anger showing in his eyes. "No I won't meet you afterwards." She told him, her eyes twinkling with laughter. "Why no? Did those saints in the Griffindor tower tell you something about me?" The tone of his voice was icy as he looked at the infamous trio. Shaking her head Genevieve leaned over and took his clinched fist in her hand and pried his hand open.
"You didn't let me finish Draco. I can't meet you after you detention because I've got it to. We have to endure detention together." She felt his hand relax as she watched the anger leave his eyes. "Oh." He said softly as his hand closed over hers. "Yeah." She replied back giving his hand a small squeeze before pulling it free as the food appeard on the table. "We've got potions together in about and hour. I'd like it if you sat beside me." He told her as he turned to fill his plate. "Ok." Genevieve said with a nod and grabbed a piece of toast and an apple. She didn't have much of an appetite that morning as others chattered about her. Standing up she ignored the stares and whispers as she walked out of the dining hall with her breakfast. 'I'll be glad when Jac is here.' She thought sadly and as she made her way through the hallways she spotted Snape coming ot of the dining hall and followed him to potions class.
She knew she would be there early and she and knew Draco would probably be to for she had noticed out of the corner of her eye the nod Draco had given her as he stood up with his plate of food and joined the rest of the Slytherin's at his own table. It was going to take some work to get him to change his wicked ways but her god father had told her what to expect with his family and fellow housemates. 'I just didn't think it would take me estranging myself from my own house mates in the process.' She long to know Harry, the boy who lived and his two friends but they seemed to not trust her since she made her feelings towards Draco Malfoy noticible. 'Way to make a first impression Gene.' She thought grumpily as she came to the potions class. If it hadn't been for the fact that she had followed Snape from the dining hall she would have been lost.
She ate her small breakfast with her books off to the side at her feet, and waited patiently for the time till class to pass by. She hadn't been this antisocial since her first day in elementary school, but she was in a new place in a new country, a little wierdness was to be expected. She had already finished her breakfast, throwing the apple core in the waste basket, and picked her books up by the time the hall had started filling with students. The Slytherins that walked up with Draco, two rather large guys sneered as they spotted her Griffendow patch on her robes. "Draco." She said holding her head high as he stepped forward. "Genevieve." He replied holding his hand out, "Shall we?" Taking his hand she walked with him into Potions class, there hands clasped tight together.
"I feel like everyone is staring at us." Draco muttered softly as they took their seats and regretfully released each other's hand. "That's because they are staring at us." She replied setting her books on the table. Further conversation between the two was stopped when Snape entered the class room in his usual dramatic way. To Genevieve Potions was a long drawn out class that her sister would have felt more at him in than herself. Through out the entire class time Draco had kicked Genevieve's foot playfully every time she tried to take notes, causing her quill hand to slip. Genevieve in turn would respond with a slight nudge to Draco's arm when he moved to pour water in his pewter cauldron causing him to pour it on the front of his robes. "Mr. Malfoy do have a care with the water. The house elves aren't just here for your personal drycleaning." Snape's voice was stern as he looked at the two sitting silently beside each other.
Both Genevieve and Draco were on their best behaviour after that, only chancing glances at each other every now and then. Genevieve felt a small twing in her chest everytime his hand would brush hers as he reached for something on the table. She was relieved when the class was finally over and Snape dismissed them, giving them a ridiculous amount of homework. "What does he expect us to do, stay up all night?" She asked Draco in a whispered voice as she grabbed her books from the table and stood up. "Don't worry you'll get used to it." He told her reassuringly as he gently took hold of her arm and led her out of the class room. Out of the corner of her eye Genevieve saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron fall into step behind them. ~It's the never ending shadows.~ She told Draco with her mind and was surprised when he stopped to stare at her, a funny expression on his face.
"What?" She asked outloud as the trio passed them by trying very hard to look nonchalant. "How did you do that?" He asked her when the three were gone. "What?" Genevieve wasn't sure what he was talking about, didn't all witches and wizards speak with their minds? "Talk telepathically. How is it someone as young as you can speak with your mind?" They started walking once more but this time a little more slowly to give them a decent amount of space from prying ears. "I've been able to do it, successfully, for a year now. My mother and father are quite skilled at it so naturally my sister and I share the same power." A small smile curved Draco's lips and she gave him a curious look. "What?" She asked as they came to the stairs leading up to their Astrology class. "You're a pureblood." Stopping Genevieve turned towards him and shook her head. "I don't get it, what's that supposed to me?"
Sliding his hand down her arm he took her hand in his own. "It means that your witch lineage is clean and free from muggle blood." Genevieve looked down at their joined hands then back up to his face. "What if I did have muggle blood some where in my line? Would you care less for me?" Pulling her closer with his hand in hers he smiled down at her. "But you don't so that's just one less thing we have to worry about." He told her as he leaned down, his nose lightly touching her own. Fighting the pull his touch was having on her she stepped away. "You didn't answer my question Draco." She said softly, her eyes filled with questions. Looking away from her searching eyes Draco pulled her into the stair well and replied in a hused voice, "No it wouldn't matter if you had muggle blood in you."
Genevieve could tell he was lying. Her god father had told her about the various students at Hogwarts and their backgrounds. She knew that Draco's family strongly detested anything and anyone dealing with muggle blood. 'If he only knew who my grandfather was.' Genevieve thought to herself as they walked up the stairs and into the classroom. All eyes turned towards them as they walked in and took their seats. Professor Trelawny fluttered in in a flurry of robes and scarves and stopped at Genevieve's and Draco's table. "Genevieve Conant I presume. Pleased to meet you my dear." She held her hand out to Genevieve and gave her a sweet smile. Fighting the urge to roll hereyes she gripped Trelawny's hand lightly in her own a moment before dropping it. "Nice to meet you too Professor Trelawny." She said with a smile and sat back as the teacher left their table and went to stand in front of the class.
"Today we will be learning about the phases of the moon and how they affect our days." Stiffeling a groan Genevieve glanced at Draco and found him looking over her shoulder. Quirking a brow she followed his gaze a realized her three fellow Griffindors were watching them closely. 'I've really got to take time to get to know them.' She told herself as Trelawny dronned on about the new moon. Focusing on Harry she pulled her power and sent him a message. ~Meet me in the Griffindor tower after this class.~ She watched as Harry's eyes widened and after a moment he nodded slowly. Turning her gaze back to Draco she caught him looking at her, his eyes narrowed and full of curiosity. "What's going on between you and Potter?" Genevieve didn't like his tone but schooling herself she kept her temper in check. "Jealous?" She asked leaning forward. Turning away from her he focused on something on the far wall.
Sitting back she forced the smile off her face and made herself pay attention the rest of the duration of class. When Professor Trelawny finally dismissed them after an 'interesting' discussion on how the mountains on the moon also affect your daily life Genevieve was ready to scream. 'She's worse than those phone psychics.' She thought to herself as she grabbed her books. Draco had given her the silent treatment all through out class and Genevieve reminded herself that Harry Potter was a touchy subject when it came to Draco. Leaning close to him she gave him a little smile as she brushed a piece of platinum hair from his forehead. "See you in a bit I have to go exchange my books before lunch." Turning around she left him to stare at her back as she walked down the stairs.
The Griffindor common room was alive with activity as Genevieve stepped through the door after a heartfelt apology to the portrait. The lady was still a bit miffed at her but it was to be expected, after all Genevieve had threatened her with fire. She found Harry waiting for her in the stair well leading up to the rooms minus Ron and Hermione. "Thanks for meeting me Harry. Let me switch my books out and I'll be right with you." Running up the stairs she changed books and grabbed her bag with the pentacle on it slipping her books in it before she returned to the stair well. Leaning against the wall for a moment she studied the famous Harry Potter before giving him a friendly smile. She watched as he relaxed visibly. "what's the deal with you and Malfoy? You're here less than 24 hours and you're an item?" Shouldering her bag with a shrug she smiled. "Draco and I have a lot in common but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. My god father has a certain affection for you and he's a fairly good judge of character."
Nodding Harry listened in silence as she continued on. "What's between me and Draco stays between me and Draco. I know you and most of the Griffindors aren't about to start a fan club in his name but Griffindor is the house I was placed in and that means I belong here which also means I need to play nice with my fellow house mates." A small smile had appeared on Harry's face as Genevieve came to her point. "what I'm trying to say is I want to be your friend but not just you. I want to get to know Ron and Hermione. My god father has told me a lot about all three of you and you guys seem like the ones to hang out with. After all Hermione reminds me of my sister who should be arriving here next week."
Harry's eyes widened at the mention of her sister. "Yes there's two of us, we're identical twins but she leans more towards the natural blonde hair color and I the reddish gold. Her eyes are green while mine are blue. She's an earthy type person, I'm a fire and I'm babbeling." Taking a breath she closed her eyes and rested her head on the stone wall. "If your sister is anything like you then this place is going to be more shaken up than when I arrived." Genevieve opened her eyes and shook her head. "No my sister isn't like me but don't get me wrong, I'm very persuasive." Offering her his arm he grinned down at her. "I don't doubt that for minute." He said, his voice filled with laughter as he led her down the stairs and out of the Griffindor tower. After walking down the every changing stair case they sepereated before they made it to the entrance to the dining.

Ok.. shameless plug.. Gene, Jac, and Bryony are all chars from Crowhaven Dawning (check out the site you know you want to) and here is Gene's character site As always questions, comments, feelings.. all that wonderful stuff is welcomed. I've written up to half of chapter five and hope to have the ones I've written so far up.. patience is a virtue.. but I don't believe I was born with it though. ~sigh~
