Draco glared at Ron. This was great. "Umm…" Draco looked at Pansy. "I have to walk around with my cousin or else my dad will be mad that I didn't watch out for her sorry."
Rebecca pouted. She looked at Harry and Dean. She turned her eyes back to Draco when she saw that the other boys weren't interested. "You free Friday night?"
She didn't even wait for an answer. "Good. I'll meet you at Sheppard's Mall at 7:30 pm. Ok bye Draco."
With that Rebecca skipped away giggling, while Harry, Ron, Dean, and Pansy howled with laughter. Hermione stood there with a frown on her features and Draco was seething. He looked around at Harry and Ron and was about to strangle them when he heard the bell.
"Damn!" he yelled. "I was this close to killing you."
~ (When the people in gr. 10 were looking for their homeroom.)
Ginny and Lori looked around the first floor; for that was where they were suppose to be.
"Where is room 106?" cried a frustrated Lori.
"You mean 108?" asked Ginny cautiously. If there was one thing she had learned while with Lori was that her bite WAS WORSE then her bark.
Lori looked down at the page in her hand and saw the number '108'. "Yes, I mean 108."
"So, like, anyways. I told Sally that I like him and she told him when I was standing there. I was so embarrassed Karen. But it doesn't matter now. Did you see that new guy with the messy black hair and emerald green eyes?" There was a pause in the conversation. Ginny and Lori weren't too happy about that. Harry did not date muggles. Ginny wasn't going to let her 'brother' date these muggles anyways. "He is so hot."
"I think he is hot too, but the silver blonde one is so handsome and has a great body."
This made Ginny even madder. She had gotten over Harry the end of her third year and she now like Draco Malfoy. She had told Lori last night, who had told her that she liked Harry.
Ginny and Lori turned around to see three girls walking towards them.
The girl to the left instantly reminded Ginny of Cho Chang. The girl was short, of Chinese descent, had short black hair and black eyes. She was slim and had her eyes fastened on the girl in the middle. She was wearing a long jean skirt with a red t shirt.
The girl in the middle had golden skin which had been tanned from long hours at a beach. She had piercing brown eyes that seemed to look through things, and straight brown hair. She was probably 5'2" and weighed 95 pounds. She was wear skin tight black jeans and a pale pink halter top. She carried herself like she was of royalty.
The third girl looked to be the kind one with her pale complexion and understanding eyes. She was 5'5" and had an hourglass built. She had curves and bumps in all the right places and all the right sizes. She had ringlets of silky red hair and startling sky blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow sundress that cut off at her knees, a light jean jacket, and white thong sandals. She was walking a little behind the other two girls giving off the impression that she fit in but she didn't. She was looking around her with great understanding and knowledge.
"You know Karen," said the middle girl. "We need to talk to those boys."
"I agree with you, Cass," said the girl to the left who was obviously Karen.
"Thanks. Sini," she looked to the girl who was walking slightly behind her. "What do we have first?"
Sini took out her timetable and looked to see what they had first. "You have French."
"What about you?"
"I'm taking some different courses this year from you," replied Sini.
"Where is our homeroom?"
"Room 108."
At this Ginny and Lori grinned. This is helpful.
"Excuse me," said Lori as she slid up to the girls with Ginny following her.
"Yes?" asked Karen looking peeved that her conversation was interrupted.
"We just happened to hear part of your conversation. And first let me say," Lori lay a hand on Cass' arm, "it is simply dreadful what that Sally girl did."
Ginny grinned. Lori hadn't lied when she had said she was a good actor. Ginny could tell she was acting for she had known the girl for four years, and besides, Lori hated these kinds of things.
"Why thank you," said Cass. "I'm Cassandra, this is Karen, and this is Sini." She gestured to each girl.
"Hello. I'm Lori and this is my friend Ginny. We are new here and don't know the way around. Do you know where Mrs. Kris's homeroom class is?"
Cass nodded. "Yes we do. Just follow us."
The five girls set off.
"Did you come with the cute blonde and handsome green eyed guy?" asked Karen figuring that these girl who know to keep hands off since she and Cass had marked them.
"Yes. Why?"
"Because me and Cass like them. Are they taken?"
"Sorta," was all the Ginny had said.
"Oh."
"You know the black one with the dread locks?"
Karen and Cass nodded their heads. "He's free. But he's the only one."
"Oh well," sighed Karen.
"So, are we going to homeroom or not?"
"Oh yeah. Well, come on."
While walking down the hall, Sini pointed out where some of the class rooms were. "And this," she said, "is Mrs. Kris's room. Come on, let's go in."
Sini had warmed up after Ginny and Lori had joined the girls.
Sini opened the door and the three girls walked in, leaving Ginny and Lori behind.
"Well, here we are," said Lori as she peeked into the room.
"Yes. Let's go in." With that Ginny straighten her shirt and walked in with Lori behind her.
"Ah, class, these are the two transfer students that I was telling you about. Their school in Ireland, umm…"
"Higshort," supplied Lori.
The class laughed at the name. Oh, now Lori remembered why she held a great dislike for muggles. She was muggle born, but muggles couldn't accept unusual things, even names.
"Right, Higshort. Their school is under construction this year and they will be here. Please show them around and answer any questions of theirs that you are capable of answering." She looked at Lori and Ginny. "Girls, why don't you introduce yourselves?"
Ginny stepped forward. "Right. Hi I'm Ginny Weasley and like almost all the other transfer students I hate chemistry. I like," she faced Lori and whispered, "Quidditch?"
Lori shook her head. "No, Ginny, it is gym and sports," she whispered back out of the corner of her mouth so that the muggles wouldn't see.
"Sorry about that. I like gym and sports and hanging out with my friends and family."
Lori shook her head. Wizards and their ever expanding knowledge. Lori snorted causing Ginny to glare at her.
She waited for Ginny to get to her desk before starting. "Good Morning. My name is Lori Clearwill and I hate chemistry with a passion. Umm… I love playing sports and hanging out with my friends. I think of the other thirteen transfer students here I am one of the few who can use a computer and will not blow up the house with a cooking mistake." The class laughed. "Thank you for your time my good people and I will be here all year." Lori bowed and took her seat beside Ginny who was laughing.
"Thank you Miss Clearwill for that enlightening introduction but I doubt it's true. Anyways class…" Mrs. Kris found herself being interrupted.
"Mrs. Kris, it is true. You shouldn't talk about what you don't know."
"And who are you to say anything?" Mrs. Kris glared at Ginny.
"In school you are taught to express yourself--" The bell rang and Ginny ran out with Lori tailing behind her.
"That was classic. Come on let's go find our lockers then charms."
"Yes, we have Ms. Black first," said Ginny.
The two girls started looking for their lockers.
"129… 145… 165. Here we are. 165 and 166. I wonder who's beside us?" said Lori.
Ginny walked up to locker 166 and opened it after she had opened the lock..
"Hi Ginny."
Ginny jumped and turned around. Looking at her were Fred, George, Lee, Alicia, Angelina, and Katie.
"Fred!" cried Ginny as she gave him a big hug. "George!" She switched brothers. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked suspiciously.
"We have our lockers beside yours. See?" Lee pulled out their locker numbers and on it was written 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, and 172.
"Oh."
"Ginny, aren't you going to introduce us to your friends?" asked a feminine voice from behind them.
Ginny groaned. If she had only one guess to guess who was behind her if would be Karen and Cass with Sini tagging along behind.
She turned around and 'SCORE!' she thought.
"Well?" asked Karen impatiently.
Ginny grinned evilly as an idea formed in her head. To put it nicely, over the summer Fred and George had made her and Ron hamsters for their prank products and this was the perfect way to get them back.
"I'm so sorry Cass. These are my brothers Fred and George. This is Lee, and these three girls are Katie, Alicia, and Angelina." Ginny pointed out each person to the three girls behind her. "Fred, George and Lee are all single."
Fred, George, Lee, and the girls glared at Ginny.
The girls, catching onto Ginny's scheme, decided to help the boys. "Ginny," said Angelina, "You know that Fred's not on the market. I took him off after the Christmas Dance."
"Ginny, Lee asked me out last night," said Katie as she wrapped her arm around his back.
"Tis true," said Lee with a grinned.
Ginny frowned. The girls were good. Now Cass and Karen would go after Draco and Harry. Unless…
"And I'm dating George," said Alicia.
"We're dating?" asked George.
Alicia frowned then grinned. She turned to George and French kissed him in the middle of the hall.
"Miss Spinnet. Mr. Weasley. Ten points from…"
"Professor, there is no point system here," called out Ginny with a grin.
"Miss Weasley, don't talk back to a teacher."
"What are you going to do about it Snape?" asked Alicia when she come up for air. She turned towards George. "Now are we dating?" she asked innocently.
George, in a daze, nodded his head.
Snape glared at them and turned away.
"Thanks Gin," said George.
"Welcome. Hey, who do you have first?" asked Ginny.
"Snape," said Lee. "You?"
"Ms. Black with umm…" Lori looked to Ginny for help.
"French 2."
Everyone stared at her.
"French 2?" asked Karen.
"Yea. French 2," said Lori with a wink directed to wizards as she patted her wand.
"What do you have Lee?" asked Cass.
"Computers 2."
"Why do you all take '2'?" asked Cass.
"Because at our school we where advanced in some subject." The bell rang signaling that class started in three minutes. Everyone split and when their separate ways.
Fred, George, Lee, and the girls slowly walked to the stair case. When they reached the top they looked around at the numbers on the doors.
"Does anyone see 204?" asked Katie who was looking at her schedule.
"Here it is." Lee pointed to the door on his right.
They all walked in to a brightly light class room. They laughed for it proved that Snape wasn't a vampire.
Snape strolled in. "Well… Take your seats!" he barked while glaring at them. "Today we will be making the memory potion 'Memoria'. It is the strongest memory potion known to wizards. This potion will restore memories that a person had forgotten by themselves or don't want to remember. If a people has had a spell preformed on them to rid them of a memory, this potion will not work. You will find the potion on page 195 of your text book. You have all period to work on them. Start!" he barked.
~ (Lunch)
"Ginny! Lori! Over here!" yelled Ron over the crowd that was in the cafeteria.
Ginny looked up to see her brother standing on a table. She giggled. "Come on Lori." She dragged Lori to the table.
(Seating)
Hermione, Ron, Harry, Lori, Chair, Ginny, Draco
Table Pansy
Dean, Angelina, Fred, George, Alicia, Katie, Lee
"How was everyone's morning?" asked Lori as she started to eat her lunch.
Draco sighed. "I have a date on Friday with a muggle."
Ginny spit out her food and started to laugh. "You?" she said through her laugher. "You have a date with a muggle? What about your parents… Draky?"
Draco cringed. "Yes Weasel."
"Draco?" Rebecca walked up to him. "Come I eat lunch here?"
"Oh hi Rebecca. Have you met my girlfriend Ginny?" He cautiously put his arm around Ginny.
Ron, Fred, and George growled at him which he ignored.
"Girlfriend?" Rebecca looked at Ginny. "But she's a ninth grader."
"So?"
Rebecca sighed. "I guess I wouldn't be seeing you Friday then."
"Not me, but," Draco looked around the table. "Dean isn't dating anyone. He'll meet you Friday night." Rebecca pricked up.
She smiled and walked away.
"Malfoy, why'd you say that?" asked an angry Dean.
"What else was I suppose to say?"
"Draco…"
Draco looked at Ginny. "Yes?"
"Please move your ar…"
"GINNY! LORI!"
Ginny sighed.
"What did you want me to do?" asked Draco.
"Act," was the reply.
She turned in her seat and plastered a fake smile on her face. "Cass, Karen. Hi. Sini!" She said the last part with a real smile.
"Well, who are the rest of your friends?"
"This is Draco Malfoy." She got comfortable in his arm and placed hers around his waist. "My boyfriend." She nodded to Dean. "That's Dean Thomas, Hermione Granger, my brother Ron, and…"
"Harry Potter. My boyfriend." Lori placed a kiss on his cheek. Harry turned red which caused Draco to laugh.
"Potter you're blushing."
"At least my girlfriend gives me a kiss."
Ginny looked terrified. She may like Draco, but kiss him. That was just wrong.
Draco noticed Ginny's face. "Ginny, where's my kiss?" He pouted.
Ginny scrunched up her face and kissed Draco on the cheek. Well she aimed for his cheek, but he turned towards her so she kissed him on the lips.
Draco put his other arm around Ginny's waist, holding her to him as they continued to kiss.
Everyone watch them for a minute until Ron growled, "Malfoy get off my sister!"
Ginny pulled away first, panting. "Even though you're a Malfoy, you sure can kiss."
"Thanks, I think. And I must say Weasley, you aren't to bad yourself."
Ron gasped. "Ginny get away from him."
"But Ron, he's my boyfriend."
Sini giggled. "What was your favourite thing from Ms. Black's class this morning?"
"You had English already?" asked Ron for they had not.
"No."
"But how? She's a—"
"Muggle?" whispered Sini as she stealthily showed them her wand.
"What school?"
"Home schooling. My father's in the army and we move around a lot so up until last year I was never in the same place for more than a year. Next year I will be going to Higshort."
Ginny pulled out the chair beside her and asked Sini to sit with them.
"What about us?" asked Karen.
Draco smiled. "I am terribly sorry my fair ladies but there are no more seats and we all need to discuss something about our school."
The two girls pouted and walked away.
"So… are you pureblood?" asked Draco with interest as he removed himself from Ginny.
"Malfoy!" warned Ginny.
Sini smiled. "It's confusing."
Harry raised an eyebrow in curiousity.
Sini giggled and explained. "My parents are both a witch and a wizard, my birth parents were a witch and wizard but I was adopted when I was a month old so I don't know too much about them, like if they were purebloods or not."
"You're adopted?" asked Hermione.
"Yup. And I'm proud of it."
Hermione laughed. "I know what you mean."
Everyone stared at her. "Herm?" asked Ron.
"I'm also adopted. I was adopted at birth. I found out this summer when my birth mother and father contacted me."
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Ron.
"You never asked. So anyways, my mother and father were sixteen when they had me and Professor Dumbledore suggested adoption to them. They decided muggle adoption since Voldemort was around and they didn't want me to grow up in fear of him."
"Draco… do you see any mudbloods around here?" asked Katie who, as the others, remembered Draco calling Hermione one.
Draco blushed. "No."
"That's what I thought."
"Sini, where do you live?" asked Harry with curiousity.
"Umm, 12 Sunrise Crescent."
Harry smiled, being the only one to know where it was.
"Sini why don't you come over today?" asked Ginny.
"Sure, I'll just call my parents after school," she said with a smile.
~
"Daddy?" Sini waited for a second. "Yes I know." "Yup." "Can I go over to my friends' house?" "I can explain more when you pick me up later." "Where? 4 Privet Drive." "See you later."
Sini closed her cell phone to find most of the wizards staring at her. "What?" she asked. "Well… are we going?"
"What was that?" asked Ron with curiousity.
Sini laughed and put her phone away. "A cell phone silly."
"A what?"
"Never mind."
Harry grinned. He liked this girl. "Let's go. Come on everyone."
~
"And who is this?" asked Arabella as everyone came into the kitchen.
"Hi I'm Sini Amica. It's a pleasure to meet you," said Sini as she shook Arabella's hand.
"It's nice to meet you too. Does anyone have any homework?"
"No," was the answer that everyone provided.
"Good. If you all want, you can go outside and play quidditch. We have extra brooms in the shed."
Everyone grinned and dropped their bags on the floor and ran outside.
Arabella sighed as she watched them exit her house. 'They're back' was the only thought that crossed her mind as she went back to preparing dinner.
~
Harry summoned his Fire Bolt and waited for the others to join him.
"Harry," said Ginny as she walked over to him with a Nimbus 2001 in her hand.
"Yea?"
"We have 15 people."
"Hermione hates to fly," was the answer.
"Oh." She waited with Harry as everyone else showed up.
"Everyone played Quidditch before?" asked Draco.
"Yes." And they started to make the teams while Hermione waited on the side.
The first team was: Harry as Seeker, Fred and Lori as Beaters, Angelina, Katie, and Sini as Chasers, and Ron as Keeper. The other team was Draco as Seeker, George and Dean as Beaters, Lee, Alicia, and Pansy as Chasers and Ginny as Keeper.
~
After Harry's team had 450 to 120, the teens decided they had played enough Quidditch.
"That was… interesting," said Sini as they entered the house after they had put the brooms away.
"What do you mean by interesting?" asked Draco with a frown.
Sini saw the frown and smiled. "In a good way. I have never played Quidditch like that. Usually I play with things that are charmed to act like Quidditch balls and people have bad brooms and the teams aren't even and nobody follows the rules."
"Glad you enjoyed it," said Ron with a grinned as he hugged Hermione to him. (A/N: I've decided that they are together. When, where, and how you can imagine for yourselves.)
"What time do y'all think I should go home?" asked Sini.
"Did you just say 'y'all'?" asked Hermione.
"Yea, why?"
"Don't Americans say that?"
"They do. I lived there for a year. Sometimes I speak different languages or in different accents or different dialects. It's pretty cool. So what time should I leave?" she asked again, but this time in a French accent.
"You should ask Arabella since she is the 'head of the house'," said Draco.
Sini smiled and walked into the kitchen.
As Arabella heard someone walk said, "So their back, huh?"
"Yea. How did you know I was the one in the kitchen?"
Arabella turned around. "I hear you out there." She pointed to the hall.
"I guess we were loud."
Arabella snorted. "Why didn't they tell me? Dumbledore only told me at the beginning of the summer."
"I dunno. Maybe you should ask them."
"How did you know you could trust me?"
"They spoke very highly of you. And him. They always thought he was innocent."
"But they never did anything. So much for their promise."
"They didn't do anything? They went around the world looking for clues. He took the job he has now so that he could get to more information." Sini sighed. "What about you? Huh? What did you do?"
"I watched him be dragged away. I promised to give up my friends and family and my life to make sure that nobody that was innocent was ever dragged off by those, those… things. I watched Harry grow up. I watched his relatives treat him like dirt. I went on special missions for Dumbledore to find out if Voldemort was still around. I also looked for clues. Never ever tell me that I did nothing."
"I'm sorry."
Arabella looked around before whispering, "Does he know? Does he suspect anything?"
Sini shook her head. "No. He doesn't see it. None of them do. I would have thought that Hermione would see it, but she's to busy with Ron." She looked around the kitchen. "How did you know by the way?"
"You look like her. And your last name gave it away. Anyways, as I said, Dumbledore told me you were taken to them." Arabella turned back to her work.
"Do you think he'll be mad when he finds out?" asked Sini worried.
"Sini, look, you couldn't control this. It was meant to happen this way. I'm sure everyone with forgive you in the end. And if not, you just have to give them time." Arabella stopped for a moment and looked at Sini. "How did you find out?"
"Old things. My parents. And they didn't exactly hide the fact either."
"They would never do that. I just can't believe they never told me." She sighed. "When you came here today…" she paused and looked down so that Sini wouldn't see her tears. "It just brought back so much. About them, and him, and you. Boy, were the too of you trouble when I would visit before..."
"And still am," she said proudly.
"I'm sure you are," said Arabella with a smile.
"You sure he won't be mad? I mean I always had them and he was stuck with…" she paused. "You know."
"Yes I know. I positive he wouldn't be mad. He has too much pride."
Sini giggled. "He's a little slow."
"I can't say anything to that. I've only know him for a little while, but yea he is." Arabella giggled too.
"What time should I go home?"
Arabella looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 6:30 pm. Dinner would be ready in half-an-hour and it would be great to see Charles and Sophie again.
"Hmm… how 'bout you call your parents and invite them over for dinner. Just don't tell them it's me and Sirius." Arabella and Sini shared a smile.
"Ok." Sini picked up the phone and dialed home.
