Chapter sixteen ~ Tamarisk O'Dell
A week after the dismal Christmas the trio were packing their trucks, preparing to go back school.
Mrs Weasley had refused to speak to Ron unless he apologised to Rayola. Ron refused, so Mrs Weasley had left not talking to her son. Snape had returned to school, Rayola rarely left her room, and Tonks had to look after her.
"Maybe you should have apologised." Hermione said.
Ron shrugged. "No way! I didn't do anything, I just spoke the truth."
"Some times you need to compromise." Hermione replied.
Harry wasn't listening, he had just found his father's invisibility cloak, and was running the soft folds through his fingers.
As they were talking there was a knock at the door. Mrs Black started shouted, and the three ran to the stairs to see who was there. Standing at the door was a twenty year old girl, her hair was silky blond and she was thin and pretty.
"Bloody hell!" Ron said.
"What?" Harry asked.
"That's her."
"Who?"
"The girl who was in Diagon Ally with Malfoy." Ron said. "Me and Hermione saw 'em there."
"Should we warn Moony?"
Hermione nodded. "She might be a spy."
"But then she might not, you can't judge people."
"Shut it Ron."
"But that's what you said, 'Mione."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Come on."
As they got down the stairs, Moony had welcomed the girl into the kitchen. The three burst in and stood awkwardly as Moony stared at them.
"Have you packed then?" He asked.
Hermione nodded.
"We heard the door bell and came to see who it was." Harry explained. He shut the door to cut out of the cries of Mrs Black.
"Oh, right. Well this is."
The girl was standing next to Moony, staring at them diafently almost daring them to say something.
"I'll introduce myself." She said, stepping forward. "My name is." at that point the door was flung open and Rayola ran in, she flung her arms around the girl. Tonks stood watching, trying to hide a grin.
"Tamarisk!" I can't believe you're here!" she said, happily.
Tamarisk grinned as Rayola let her go. "I'm Tamarisk O'Dell."
Harry shook her hand, so did Ron and Hermione. They stood at the door unsure what to say or do. The name Tamarisk O'Dell rung a bell in Harry's mind, but he couldn't think where.
Rayola and Tamarisk sat down and started talking. Tonks walked over to Lupin and whispered something in his ear. He nodded with a smile.
"Maybe you should go and finish packing, I'll be up in a minute." Tonks said, hinting.
Harry nodded and the three of them left the room. Tonks wasn't far behind them.
"Tonks, she's a spy."
"We've seen her before."
"With Draco Malfoy in Diagon Ally."
She smiled. "I'm not surprised. The three of you must calm down. listen to what I have to say. Sit down."
They sat.
"Tamarisk isn't a spy, she's with us, I assure you. She has done some excellent work."
"Why was she with Draco Malfoy then?"
Tonks sighed. "I don't really like telling you this, under no circumstances must you repeat it to anyone."
The three nodded.
"She's Draco's sister."
"What?! He has a sister?"
Tonks sighed. "Yes, Narcissa and Lucuis had two children. Tamarisk was the first. When she married, they disowned her, and refused to let Draco see her. Well I should say that Lucuis refused to let Draco see her. Look all you need to know is that she is not a spy."
"How does Rayola know her?"
"Rayola and Narcissa were best friends at one point, Ray is like a mother to Tamarisk." Tonks said. "Look, just forget what I've told you, I have to go now." She turned and ran from the room.
Harry turned to Ron and Hermione. "What was all that about seeing Draco in Diagon Ally?"
"He was with her, with his sister." Hermione explained.
"Where was I?"
"Buying a present for Hedwig."
"Tamarisk O'Dell, where have I heard that before? Where?" Harry said, suddenly. "You've heard it before?"
Harry nodded and sat on the bed. "Where?"
At that point Hedwig flew in through the window and Harry untied a letter from her leg.
Harry,
You're not going to believe this, it's the Quibbler it's been shut down. The Ministry are syaing it's pure dribble and they have been investigating in to it for a while now. But the real reason is that article, the one about Malfoy. I don't know what Mr Lovegood is going to do now. But Luna says she's happy they printed the article anyway, I mean at least someone must have read and seen the truth in it. Right? Anyway don't fell about it, it's not your fault, or Hermione's or Ron's. See you at Hogwarts.
Ginny Weasley.
Harry passed the note to Hermione and Ron.
Hermione turned to them. "Do you think someone read it? How could they just shut down the newspaper?"
"'Cause it's not in ministry control."
"That's where I read it!" Harry said, jumping up.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"That's where I saw Tamarisk's name."
"Where? In the Quibbler."
"No in the newspaper, the Daily Prophet. Do you remember Hermione you sent me those cuttings in the summer holidays? Well one was a letter, a letter from Tamarisk O'Dell to the paper, trying to clear Sirius's name."
Hermione nodded. "I think so."
"Sirius is. was her cousin."
A/N was he her cousin? right this is how I see it, Narcissa and Sirius were cousins? Right? Is that right? So her daughter would be his second cousin? is this right?! Er.anyway please R&R!! thanks.
