Chapter 6

Morgan had woken up to her mother who was shaking her frantically in an effort to get her up. Morgan rolled her eyes and yawned.

"Okay mum, I'm up!" Morgan said but slowly shut her eyes once again and began to snore, Linda sighed.

"If this doesn't work, nothing will." Linda whispered to herself and summoned a glass of water. She raised her hand to the incoming glass and held it above Morgan's head. Soon after.

"Arrrgh!" Morgan grunted and felt the icy cold water run down her back, Linda laughed. "That wasn't funny!" Morgan exclaimed and pulled the wet duvet off herself, "you really need to improve your tactics of getting me up."

"I don't think so, Morgan, after all it did work successfully, I mean your up and living proof of it," Linda giggled madly, "anyway your expected at breakfast and I'm not going to let you be late, especially on your first day of being a student at Hogwarts." Morgan sighed, 'here comes the whole Hogwart's thing'.

"I will be attending your breakfast this morning but I'll be gone by the end of the day, I plan to reminisce with an old friend," Linda smiled cunningly. Morgan caught on straight away.

"What sort of 'old friend'?" Morgan asked slyly, Linda giggled again, "I take it dad knows nothing about this old friend then," Morgan added. Linda blushed and wondered, 'nope I've never told Mark about Severus, I don't intend to either!' "This old friend of mine is none of your business young lady!" Linda exclaimed and watched Morgan brushing her hair. Morgan turned to face her mother.

"Well as long as it isn't that creepy Snape guy with those scary eyes, I think I can accept your proposition," Morgan commented but watched her mother's facial expression. "Oh no," Morgan exclaimed, "please don't tell me you and Snape..Uggh!"

"Okay that's quite enough information for you!" Linda blushed a furious red, Morgan laughed hysterically and went to the bathroom to get changed. (A/N: by the way Morgan had been sleeping in Albus Dumbledore's spare chambers with her mum - separate beds, don't get ideas plz! But she will be going to Gryffindor dormitories tonight because she will then be an official student!)

"********

A little while later and both of them were ready to go down to the Great Hall where most of the students had already gathered for breakfast. Morgan spotted Hermione amongst the sea of Gryffindors and managed to give her a small wave without being noticed, Hermione returned the wave with a smile and a nod.

"Students of Hogwarts," Dumbledore began and everybody became immediately silent after the three words from the elderly headmaster. " I am very pleased to welcome a new student to Hogwarts, her name is Morganna Manstle (frown from Morgan as she stood beside the Headmaster) and I hope that you will make her feel very welcome and help her settle in, her resident house will be Gryffindor but that is no reason to not make her feel welcome! Please Morganna join your house table and we will resume breakfast." Dumbledore sat down and Morgan left the security to find Hermione who was waving madly at her. Linda had sat beside Professor Snape and both were already in deep conversation, 'tuh, reminisce', Morgan thought and sat next to Hermione.

"Hi Morgan," she said happily. Harry and Ron looked at Hermione expectantly, Morgan however immediately started helping herself to breakfast.

"Oh, Morgan," Hermione began, "this is Harry Potter," Hermione introduced the boy the other side of her, he smiled at Morgan, "and this is Ron Weasley," she pointed at a freckly redhead opposite her. Both Harry and Ron smiled and watched Morgan eat her breakfast like she was some sort of unidentified creature.

Then suddenly, "you look like someone I know," Harry exclaimed and Morgan looked up at him.

"And who would that be, I probably don't know them but do enlighten me," she said sarcastically.

"Draco Malfoy," Harry stated and finally began to eat his plate of cold breakfast. Most of the Gryffindor table had heard Harry and they all seemed to agree with him. Morgan was slightly amused, 'how could I look so much like this boy?'

"Okay, it would be good if I actually saw who this boy was, by any chance do you have a problem with him? I mean he can't be that bad can he, especially if he looks like me!" Morgan laughed. Everyone joined in but finally answered her question.

"Morgan, he is awful!" one person commented, others began telling her about Draco and by the end of breakfast she probably knew more about the boy than anyone and she hadn't even met him yet.

"*****

Morgan and Hermione were just leaving the Great Hall when Morgan walked straight into somebody. She had been so infatuated in her conversation that she hadn't bothered to see where she was going and now she was on the floor, laughing.

The person that had knocked her over had offered her a hand and gladly she took it and tugged on it to pull her up. When she was finally standing she looked into the face of the person who had knocked her over and she almost fainted, it was like she was looking at her reflection.

"Woah!" she said and the boy grabbed her before she stumbled again.

"Malfoy!" Hermione spat and she took her friend away from his arms, "what on earth are you doing to her!" Malfoy glared at Hermione and looked at Morgan who was coming back to reality.

"Hermione!" Morgan suddenly said, "this nice young man was helping me, couldn't you see? Nothing to be stressed about, thanks by the way, your name is?" Morgan queried the platinum blonde who smirked.

"Draco Malfoy," Malfoy said, " I don't know why your hanging around with this filth, it's a shame that you weren't put in Slytherin, you would have been a great asset, but that doesn't mean you can't be a great asset to Gryffindor."

"Hey don't you go insulting Hermione, you should look at yourself you pompous git, do you want me to sort out your pretty face?" Morgan began rolling her fists as she strided up to Malfoy confidently. Malfoy stopped in his tracks to face Morgan when.POW! Morgan had just sent Malfoy straight onto the floor where he was holding his hand to his face. Hermione began to shake nervously, she had never seen anyone stand up to Malfoy before.

"That took the smirk off your face, didn't it!" Morgan said triumphantly but soon that triumph was to be destroyed when Professor Snape and her own mother came walking by.

"Morgan!" Linda shouted as she ran forwards to help Malfoy up. 'God she has beaten up her own brother!' "What in God's name did you do?" Morgan looked at her mother and then Malfoy.

"He insulted Hermione," Morgan said truthfully and scowled at Malfoy who had no strength to return the scowl. Linda had managed to get Malfoy standing and dragged him to the hospital wing, leaving Professor Snape with Hermione and Morgan. He looked at both of them and smirked evilly.

"On the morning of your first day and you've already landed yourself in trouble," Snape tutted, "you and Mr. Malfoy will be serving detention with me tomorrow, 8pm sharp and no excuses. Now go!" he hissed and the two girls moved so fast it was unbelievable.

"*********

"Draco Malfoy, he'll pay no doubt, I'll make sure of it!" Morgan whispered to Harry and Ron who were listening to her every word in the crowded common room. Everybody knew that Morgan had punched Draco and everyone had congratulated her except the Slytherins of course, they had just booed her continuously through the day.

Her mum, Linda however was by no means happy, her daughter hadn't set a good example of herself by punching her own brother, but she didn't know that, yet, Linda thought to herself when she was getting ready to leave.

"May I be of any assistance?" Snape asked politely as he entered Linda's temporary chamber. Linda looked up, surprised by Snape's entry.

"I don't think I need much help, I'm just about done," Linda answered as she cleared the wardrobe of her remaining belongings. Snape moved to next to where she was standing.

"Do you ever think about old times?" Snape asked her softly, trying to rid his voice of the usual sarcasm it bared. Linda looked at him.

"Of course I do," she answered, "how could I forget?" He looked at her, his dark eyes softening and he took her hand. He lead her to the bed where they sat down next to each other, he still held her hand. Linda felt that she should take her hand from his, she was married after all to a man she loved with her whole heart, but something inside told her to leave it where it was, her hand fitted perfectly, just like it did all those years ago.

"You know Linda," Snape began, "I've never forgotten about us, I've always blamed myself for what happened, always wishing you would come back and take me with you."

"You must never blame yourself for what happened, it was such a long time ago Severus, what was done is done and we can't change any of it," Linda answered, her eyes beginning to fill up with water.

Snape moved his face closer, so that he and Linda's lips were touching, their breath was mingling and he slowly kissed her, bringing her hands to his own face. Linda knew that she should have broken away but she couldn't, it just felt so right and before she knew it she was returning his kiss, not pulling away like her conscience told her to.

A/N: okay bit of a cliff - hanger here! Yes their past will be revealed in time if you are wondering! You may have noticed but we haven't met the mystery 'Mark' Linda's husband, yet.thinking about including him much later, perhaps even in a sequel! I'm thinking about re -writing this chapter but let me know what you think! Also thinking about doing the first two chapters better as well and including more background info - anyway that will be later when I complete the story, hopefully I will!

Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa won't be in the story until later when Draco and Morgan's relationship becomes more intimate, you get what I mean and of course we're going to have an interfering Hermione and a jealous Harry, Ron well I'll think about him!
