Malfoy's Twin: Voldemort's Prey
Chapter One: Unfamiliar Territory
The Hogwarts Express, the gleaming red train, thundered towards its usual destination at the end of the summer holidays, full of familiar older students and new first years.
Among them was Harry Potter, the famous fifth year, sitting in a compartment accompanied by his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
Content with the way they had spent their last week of relaxation before school, all three were looking forward to the welcoming sight of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione in particular.
'I can't believe we are fifth years!' She exclaimed, 'it feels like yesterday when we hopped on this train for the very first time.'
'Yeah.' Harry said, recalling that with fond memories.
'I just hope we have a year with no dangerous adventures' Ron added, 'You just seem to attract trouble Harry, but I suppose it makes it a bit more-'
He was cut short as the wooden door of the compartment slid open suddenly, revealing a girl Harry and the others had never seen before.
She was quite tall and slender, with dead-straight silvery blonde hair that spilled past her shoulders, right down to her lower back. Her face was pointed, and her skin was fair. But it was her eyes that Harry noticed the most. They were stern and steely grey, and looked like the still surface of a deep pool, he thought. Mysterious but kind, and yet she distinctly reminded Harry of someone, someone he couldn't quite put his finger on...
As she stood poised in the doorway, it was obvious that she was wearing normal clothes under her black Hogwarts robes. She looked at the three passengers intently.
'Sorry, wrong compartment.' There was a definite drawl in her voice, though it was lost in her velvety tone.
Her eyes flickered from Harry to Ron, then to Hermione, finally resting her gaze back on Harry. He felt like those eyes like they were delving right into his skin, as she looked him up and down, eyeing the scar on his forehead curiously.
'You must be Harry, Harry Potter?' She asked giving him a deviant smile. Harry was captivated and entranced by that smile, mumbling something incoherently.
'Yes, that's Harry. Don't quite know what's gotten into him though.' Hermione answered quickly. 'I'm his friend Hermione Granger.'
'Pleased to meet you both,' she said politely, 'I'm Vienna.' Looking at Ron she continued. 'And you are.?'
Ron just gurgled and went a weird shade of pink. Hermione sighed loudly.
'That's Ron Weasley. God, what is wrong with you two? Say hi, Ron' she said sternly.
'Ergh, hi.' he said awkwardly.
'Are you new?' Hermione asked, seeming to be the only one capable of intelligent conversation.
'Yes. I came from Durmstrang. My family wants me to be closer to home apparently.' Vienna's smile faded a little. 'It's not too bad though; at least I'll be with my brother. But he is always going on about how lucky I was to be allowed to go to Durmstrang, silly thing. I think it will be fun to be a fifth year at Hogwarts.'
'Brother.fifth year?!' Harry mumbled excitedly. This was looking extremely good. Maybe she would be in some of his classes.
'We are fifth years as well,' Hermione explained, 'have you been sorted yet?'
'No' Vienna looked worried about this, 'because the rest of my family have been in it, I suppose I'll be in Sly-'
'VIENNA!' The door burst open once more, revealing a slightly anxious looking Draco Malfoy. 'There you are! I thought you had missed the train or something. Imagine what mother would say-'
He stopped mid sentence as he realised who was in the compartment. Scowling, his pointed face screwed up as he glanced at Harry and the others, who were looking just as shocked.
'D-Draco's your brother!' Harry mouthed in disbelief. Vienna looked around at the surprised faces in the room. 'Didn't you know?' she asked in wonder, grabbing Malfoy and ruffling his sleek hair.
'Draco's my twin brother!'

'Can't believe it... she's a Malfoy... looked a bit like him I suppose...' Ron was talking quietly to himself, violently mashing a potato with his fork as the students were eating the start-of-term feast in the Great Hall, having just witnessed the Sorting ceremony.
'Oh are you two still going on about Vienna?' Hermione looked up from her plate.
'But it's just not fair! She seemed so nice.' Ron's face looked really sour.
Harry, though quiet, completely agreed with Ron. He had been watching Vienna over at the Slytherin table since they had sat down. Obviously she must have been sorted into Slytherin then, he thought to himself. She was joking and laughing, and had waved warmly at him when they made eye contact a few minutes earlier. Draco sat next to her, on the other side of Crabbe and Goyle, trying half heartedly to look interested.
Although they looked almost exactly the same, he wasn't convinced that Draco and Vienna could be brother and sister. He had never heard Draco, or anyone else for that matter, talk of her.
'Bet you a sack of Galleons that she won't even look at us after Draco has had a word to her...' Hermione replied matter-of-factly.
Harry had a sinking feeling. What was the chance of her being even a fraction kind, when she had Malfoy blood? 'What do you think Harry? Harry?' Hermione prodded him with her finger. 'Oh, I hope not' he replied truthfully.
Meanwhile, over at the Slytherin table, Draco was asking Vienna about Durmstrang.
'So where exactly is it?' He asked her, his pale eyes glinting.
'You know I'm not allowed to tell you Dray.' Vienna replied grinning innocently.
'I told you not to call me that!' Malfoy replied slightly flustered. 'Anyway, why did you come here? I had no idea you had changed to Hogwarts until I saw you at the station...'
'As a matter of fact Dray, sorry I mean Draco, I didn't have any idea myself until mother sent me an owl and told me to pack all my stuff immediately. Didn't say why either, and that was a month ago. Keeps saying it was because of distance... but I don't think so... I mean I've already had four years there... why would it suddenly change?' Vienna was frowning in thought, but suddenly smiled.
'Ha, maybe she thinks you and me need to be together, so I can pull you in line!'
Draco groaned. 'Well why couldn't she have sent me to Durmstrang instead? Just the thought of life without Harry Potter makes me shiver with delight...' he added, staring into space.
'Oh come on, he can't be that bad.' Vienna looked at Harry over at the Gryffindor table and waved when she caught his eye.
'Yes. Yes he can. And he is... believe me, Vienna. I'm disgusted that you can even contemplate being nice to him and his pathetic friends.' Draco's voice was cold as ice.
'Whoa. Ok ok. I'll make sure not to get within a mile of him if I can help it.' She replied, a bit taken aback.
Jeeze, what had Harry possibly done to piss him off that much? Vienna wondered. When she had spoken to the three of them on the train they had seemed very respectable, even nice towards her. Maybe she could help Draco and Harry bury the hatchet...
Vienna's thoughts were interrupted as Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, pushed his half-moon spectacles up onto his long nose and brought the Great Hall into a silence.
'Sorry to interrupt your feastings, but I have an announcement to make. There is a new addition to the Malfoy family joining our school.' At this, several of the students from Gryffindor, led by Fred and George Weasley, began booing. Harry and Ron shot them poisonous looks. Dumbledore continued.
'Her name is Vienna, and I hope that you all go out of your way to make sure that she feels welcome. But first I think we better see where she goes...' Hermione, Ron and Harry looked up, surprised. They thought she had already been put in Slytherin.
Albus Dumbledore picked up the Sorting Hat that had been sitting on his table, and beckoned Vienna over.
Her heart was pounding in her ears, or was it the loud whispers of the students? Draco leant over confidently and smiled 'I'll keep your seat warm.' She walked tentatively over to the hat, looking back at the table, where her brother was giving her the thumbs up.
'Why am I stressing so much?' she asked herself. 'I am definitely going to be in Slytherin with Draco.'
Sitting down, she forced a smile onto her worried face. The hat was placed gently on her head, but instead of deciding hurriedly, the voice pondered loudly in Vienna's ear.
'Hmmm, another Malfoy hey? Your brother was an easy decision, but you... you are making me think. Well I shouldn't really break up a family should I?' Vienna was shaking and her palms were sweaty. The hat continued, 'But no, I think you suit GRYFFINDOR!'
