chapter the third
"Draco, wake up".
Someone poked him with a large baton of french bread.
"Draco?".
"Make way, make way. Professor coming through!".
Draco heard Snapes voice become nearer and nearer.
"Look what you've done to the poor boy!".
"Well, i don't think i was responsible for.....".
"Quiet yank!".
Draco tried not to laugh.
"Draco. Wake up. You're okay now".
Draco slowly opened his eyes and found that almost every student and teacher was standing, looking down at him.
"Wha.....what happened", said Draco as he slowly got to his feet. He deserved an oscar for this.
"You fainted", said Snape. "All because of her!". He pointed at Tiffany.
"Now look here!", she said as she put her hands on her hips. "I didn't do this!".
"Pfft!", said Snape.
"Pfft indeed!", said Madam Pomfrey who had come to take Draco to the hospital wing. "You evil little girl! Making young mister Malfoy faint like that. You should be ashamed. And you should pray we don't all end up thinking that all Americans are like you!".
Tiffany looked positively furious. She stamped her foot before storming out of the hall.
"Well that's never happened before", said Hermione.
"No", agreed Harry. "Maybe she's not that bad after all. I'm going to go see if she's alright".
Harry ran like a girl out of the Hall and caught up with Tiffany, who was on her way to the Slytherin common room.
"Oh" she said as she turned to face Harry. "It's you. What's your name again?".
"Harry. Harry Potter".
Tiffany gave Harry an odd look.
"I enjoy saying my first name twice".
"Oh i see".
"You've been given a hard time since you arrived, haven't you?".
"You can say that again".
"You've been given a hard time since you arrived, haven't you?".
"Yes. I have".
Suddenly Tiffany began to cry. Harry took a conveniently placed handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to the yank...i mean, Tiffany.
"Thanks", she sniffed.
"What's wrong?".
"It's just", said Tiffany, "I came to Hogwarts because i wanted to find my long lost brother".
"You have a long lost brother?".
"Yes. He's a year younger than me...".
Harry was a year younger than Tiffany. Nothing more than a coincidence.
"..And i've been told he was green eyes....".
Green eyes? Why, Harry had green eyes.
"...and also that he's a famous wizard who mysteriously escaped Voldermort when he was just a baby. I don't suppose you know anyone like that, do you?".
"Well, you've just described me", said Harry slowly.
"Really? Then....you're my brother!!!!".
Tiffany lunged forward and embraced Harry.
"I have a sister?", said Harry. "I have a sister!".
***************************************************************
"She's what?!".
"My sister!".
"But that's impossible!", said Hermione. "She's American! She looks nothing like you, or your parents! You'd know if you had a sibling....".
"Well, she's my sister, as completely, absurdly unbelievable as it may be".
"Really? How interesting", said Draco, as he approached Harry from behind. (He walked up behind him! You dirty minded people!) "It's no surprise really. A girl THAT annoying could only be related to you. I pity you, i really do".
"Watch it Malfoy", said Ron.
"Oh DO find something else to say! It's always "Watch it Malfoy" or "Eat slugs Malfoy". You're sixteen for craps sake!".
Ron felt confused. Draco was so mean to him, and yet, he still felt attracted to him. It was very weird and unrealistic, but he felt that way all the same.
Draco, who now had the ability to read minds, read Ron's thoughts, and was disgusted. So he ran away. But, just as he turned a corner, he bumped into Snape.
"What's wrong Draco. You look rather flustered!".
"Ron Weasley fancies me!".
Draco ran off down the corridor.
"Oh how i hate to see Draco upset", said Snape aloud. Tears started to form in his eyes. He covered his face and ran off down the corridor. Soon he bumped into Lupin, who had for some reason been re-hired as the DADA teacher that year.
"Oh", sniffed Snape. "Lupin. Why are you covering your face?".
Lupin uncovered his face. "Cause some kid threw gravy on my face and i didn't want anyone to see. But i guess that plan's ruined! Why are you crying?".
"I'm not!".
"Yes you are. I can see it".
They looked into each others eyes for a moment. Then suddenly they snapped out of it.
"Woah. Weird".
"I agree. Good day Lupin".
"See you later".
"Draco, wake up".
Someone poked him with a large baton of french bread.
"Draco?".
"Make way, make way. Professor coming through!".
Draco heard Snapes voice become nearer and nearer.
