Much love, the authors! Ps… sorry I took so long to put this up exams and then my comp stopped working!

"Professor Caelum Malfoy!" Dumbledore waved his hand at the new young man standing up. Harry groaned inwardly, figuring anyone with the last name Malfoy hated him. So now his "fan club" at school totaled three: Snape, and now two Malfoys.

            Harry realized that the whole room had gone silent and heads were swiveling between him and both Malfoys. Harry looked at the new professor and gasped. The man up there was almost identical to Harry and James but with Malfoy's trademark blonde hair. The man introduced himself, talked to the students (just a few words) and then sat back down.

            Hermoine, Ron, and Harry looked at each other before all three calmly got up and exited the hall. Once outside, they headed up to the common room to discuss what they had just witnessed.

            "He has to be related to both of you!" Hermoine was pacing by the fire, for once unable to solve this with a book.

            "Ya, mate, no one just happens to look like the famous Harry Potter," Ron stood behind a sofa watching Hermoine with great interest. She was wearing her robes, but they seemed different on her some how, at least to Ron. Her head suddenly snapped up, and she smiled.

            "Stay here, you two, I think I've got it!" she ran off up the stairs to her dorm and came back seconds later with a huge book under her arm. She set it on the table and it creaked under the weight. The title was Bloodlines of The Wizard, Up to Date, and when she opened the book, it was filled with family trees of many pureblood wizarding families.

            "I got this book to study how it works, because it updates the family trees all by itself. There is never a need to print a new edition." Hermoine stated this as though it were all very simple, but the boys were confused. She flipped to a page with the word "Potter" inscribed in calligraphy on the top, and began running her finger down the page. Harry and Ron watched with great interest. Finding nothing of help on that page, Hernoine flipped to a page with the word "Malfoy" on the top.

            "I've got it!" and she pointed out what she meant. The tree had nearly three hundred names on it, and next to the name Cornelia Malfoy was the name Romanus Potter.

            "So, that would make you, like related to Malfoy right?" Ron asked, looking horrified and confused at the same time.
