Chapter 2: Something Oddly Familiar
The next morning Jennae woke up not sure if she'd enjoy this new school. She knew it was only to finish her training, and it was the best, better than any training Natalia could give her. Hogwarts had the finest program around. The head master, Albus Dumbledore, was one of the most powerful wizards in the history of magic, and the Transfiguration program was the best in the world having been taught by Minerva McGonnagal for nearly 50 years. Then, there was Potions taught by Severus Snape. His teachings were good but not the world's best. Charms would be taught by the young Ginny Weasley, who wasn't even past the age of 34, but she was the best for such a young teacher. Hogwarts had added a new professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Draco Malfoy. They were hoping for him to revive the program since the retiring of Remus Lupin. He was only 35, but said to be single like Professor Ginny Weasley, and very handsome. He, also, would be in his first year of teaching and one of the assistants under Wizarding living legend and former professional Quidditch star, Harry Potter for Quidditch. Their librarian, Hermione Granger Weasley, also taught the History of Magic, while her assistant, husband Ron Weasley, ran the library. Coincidentally, Ron was the brother of charms professor Ginny and the other Quidditch assistant and assistant with teaching flying. Harry Potter was over Quidditch and the Flying Professor. Ron, Harry, and Hermione were all best friends at Hogwarts, known as the Golden Trio, were in Gryffindor House, and graduated the same year; they're 35, like Professor Malfoy. Professor Hagrid sill taught Care of Magical Creatures and was the Hogwarts Game Keeper. Madame Pomphrey was still the mediwitch in charge of medical care, while visionary Sybill Trelawney was still teaching Divination, and still known for predicting students to die like Harry Potter who didn't die. Then, that leaves Mr. Filch, the caretaker, who is not to be messed with nor are you to even think of touching his cat Mrs. Norris. Yep, Jennae was well acquainted with what she was getting herself into. Well acquainted alright.
"Jen, are you ready?" Luis Oritz asked.
"Yes, Papa'," Jen answered.
"Ok then, your trunk is in the car. Let's get you to the train station."
"Let's go then."
The ride to King's Cross Station was short, but finding platform 9 ¾ was kind of confusing until she found a tall, freckled, red haired lady who looked quite a lot like she.
"Excuse me, m'am," Jen said.
"Can I help you?" the lady asked.
"Do you know how to get to Platform 9 ¾?"
"Is it your first year to Hogwarts?"
"Well, yes, but I'm a sixth year."
"I'm Professor Ginny Weasley. I'll walk you through the platform."
"Thanks. Professor Weasley. I'm Jennae Oritz."
"Spanish?"
"Half-spanish."
"You could have fooled me. Only people I know with hair that red are Weasleys."
"I think I was adopted though."
"When's your birthday?"
"I was born on October 31, 2007. Halloween."
"Well, let's get to the platform."
Ginny didn't want to know anymore. She had gotten a look at the girl's eyes. They were just like Draco's. That was her daughter. She just prayed that no one noticed, but she'd be telling Professors Dumbledore and McGonnagal as soon as they got to Hogwarts. She helped Jennae through the platform and went to the teacher's compartment on the train in shock that she had just laid eyes on her daughter.
She sat there through half the ride not saying a single word to Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Draco. She was completely silent until someone decided to break the silence.
"Gin, what's wrong?" Hermione asked.
"I don't feel like talking about it," Ginny answered.
Hermione got up and sat beside Ginny. She looked her in the eyes before speaking again.
"Does it have anything to do with Halloween, 16 years ago?" Hermione asked.
"It has everything to do with it," Ginny answered.
"Is it the ferret or the daughter you gave up?"
"Both."
"What do you mean?"
"They're both on the train."
Hermione gasped and said, "How do you know she's here?"
"I saw her. I helped her through the portal," Ginny said.
"What's her name?"
"Jennae Oritz."
"Spanish."
"She says she's half Spanish, but she thinks she might have been adopted."
"It's not concrete that she's yours."
"She's got Weasley hair and Malfoy eyes. She's mine."
"You're shitting me."
"No shit Sherlock. It's my daughter."
"You've got to tell Albus & Minerva, but it wouldn't be safe to tell Ron and Harry."
"Harry never knew I was pregnant."
"Did to."
"How?"
"Ron."
"How dare he open his damn mouth!"
"You know your brother."
"Yeah and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"Same here and I married the man."
They both laughed, until Ginny stopped laughing long enough to say, "What do I do if Draco notices?"
"Tell him."
"He'll be beyond furious with me."
"Can't help ya there. You had the chance to tell him 16 years ago."
"I know."
"It'll be ok, Gin. Don't worry."
Ginny walked out of the compartment to notice Draco talking to Jennae.
"Well, Miss Oritz have you met the lovely Professor Ginny Weasley?" Draco asked as Ginny was walking by.
"Yes, Professor Malfoy. She helped me through the portal," Jennae answered.
"There's something oddly familiar about your hair and eyes, Jennae," Draco said.
"What is it?"
"Those blue eyes and that red hair I know it from somewhere."
"The hair's not far off from being Weasley hair but I don't notice anything familiar about her eyes, Draco," Ginny put in trying to keep Draco from noticing.
"Now I know it. Those are Malfoy eyes. Only a Malfoy has eyes that exact color. You must be pureblooded."
"I'm muggle born," Jennae replied.
"You can't be with Malfoy eyes and Weasley hair. The Malfoy's and the Weasley's are both purebloods but how could you be," Draco stopped short and looked at Ginny. "You, me, teacher's compartment. Now."
Draco grabbed Ginny's arm and walked her into the teacher's compartment slamming the door as they entered it.
"Did you get pregnant and not tell me?" Draco asked.
"Gods no, Draco," Ginny answered.
"How do I know you're not lying?"
"Ask Ron, Harry, or Hermione."
"Not a chance."
"Why?"
"They'll lie for you."
"Not about something like that."
"Tell me how she has Malfoy eyes and Weasley hair. She was born October 31, 2007, Ginny. That's 9 months after the last time we made love. Is she ours; better yet, could she be ours?"
"Draco, I didn't get pregnant."
"Well, that something is oddly familiar about her, those eyes, and that hair."
"It's just something oddly familiar, Draco. If I had gotten pregnant, you would have been informed of it by me."
"Ok, Gin. It's just something oddly familiar."
