Previously on 'The Forgotten Girls':

Then they started to crack up laughing. The gap between them shortened and shortened until there was no gap to speak of.

Their eyes met and before they knew it they started to kiss.

Chris knew it was wrong but she just didn't want to stop. Well that was until she heard a shrieking voice.

"CHRIS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING????"

It was Imogene.

Chris pushed Harry off her, and the only thing she said was:

"Crap!"

Chapter 4:

Regrets

Imogene stared at Chris and Harry, a look of shock and hurt on her face.

"Chris, what the &*@# are you doing?" she yelled.

"I can explain. Harry kissed me." said Chris, throwing him a murderous look.

"But I can see you had no objections." she cried, stomping down her foot, looking irate.

"Gene, I had know idea you liked Harry in that way!" exclaimed Chris.

Imogene laughed hollowly.

"You think that's what this is about? Chris, you have a boyfriend who is probably pining after you in Australia, you stupid bitch!" she yelled.

"And then, I walk in, and you're kissing him!"

"It wasn't like that. I didn't want it." said Chris.

"Yes, but meanwhile you stuck your tongue down his throat! How could you do this to Brad??? Poor Brad. He's probably worried sick about you, while you're making woopie with Mr. British Wizarding Celebrity here! No offense, Harry, I know it was Chris' fault." added Imogene, shooting him an apologetic look.

Chris stared at her dumbfounded.

"You know what Chris? Ever since we left Australia, Dani and I have had to put up with, 'I want to talk to Brad, I miss him,' and 'Oh, poor Brad, I love him so much.' Well, you've got a funny way of showing it!" screamed Imogene.

"Well, obviously Dani's more understanding of it, because you don't see her complaining!!!!!!!!!" yelled Chris.

"That's because she's too nice of a person to say anything! I think you owe her something. The way that she looks after you, and comforts you, and anyone else without being asked! Do us a favour Chris, and stop acting like a stupid-head and a cheap whore!" yelled Imogene, angry tears running down her face.

Harry stuffed his hands in his pockets, and stared at the two girls awkwardly. He knew how to deal when boys fought, but girls? That was way out of his league.

Imogene started to walk out of the room.

"Imogene, you don't mean it! You know it wasn't my fault." Chris yelled.

Imogene whirled around.

"You know what Chris? Just don't bother to tell me what I mean and what I know. Because the only thing I know now is that you've betrayed all of us." Imogene spat, and she stormed out.

She was running down the secluded corridor, when she bumped into Oliver.

"Hi Imogene!" he said brightly. He spotted her tears, and his expression changed quickly.

"Oh my God, what's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"Nothing. Just a little homesick, I guess." said Imogene, trying to smile.

"You're lying." said Oliver, in a mock-accusing tone.

"No, I'm not." said Imogene, a little too quickly.

"Yes, you are. Your nostrils flared." said Oliver.

"Well, OK. I am lying. I walked in on Chris and Harry kissing." said Imogene.

"Wow, Potter's a smooth operator." said Oliver, laughing.

"It's not funny. Chris already has a boyfriend. Who happens to be me one of my best friends." said Imogene seriously.

"That's a problem. Where is Chris' boyfriend?" asked Oliver.

"Australia. She said it broke her heart to leave him there." said Imogene, looking down.

"Maybe it did. Do you want to go back to the common room to talk about it?" asked Oliver kindly.

Imogene sniffled.

"Yes, I'd like that." she said softly. Oliver, not sure really how to comfort her, placed his arm around her awkwardly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dani had crashed on the couch in the Gryffindor common room, feeling like she had jet lag. Well, maybe not jet lag, but magic lag or something.

She had drifted into a dream, mostly about Australia, but then suddenly, the images faded, and she was in a cold, grey looking dungeon.

"Where are the girls?" asked a harsh rasping voice.

Dani couldn't see was unable to see who was speaking, as there was only one ray of light coming through a grimy window. The voice was coming from someone, a man, sitting on a large green velvet chair.

A silhouette of a small, weedy looking man appeared. He moved into the light, and Dani could see the man was balding. He had beady looking, ice blue eyes and a face which reminded Dani of a weasel. He seemed to cower in the corner, hiding himself from the man in the chair.

"Forgive me, Master. I do not know where they are. The Death Eaters had tracked them down, and were sending Dementors to torture them, but then, they disappeared. It's believed Dumbledore sent The Boy Who Lived to get them." said the weasely man.

"Do not call him that. You disgrace me, Wormtail. You speak about him as if you regard him as a hero, much like the disgusting Mudblood loving society that call themselves wizards. The Potter boy did indeed live, much to my own regret." said the man.

"I'm sorry, Master, please forgive me." Wormtail said. "I have received information from intelligence that the girls are at Hogwarts. With Dumbledore at Hogwarts, it brands them-"

"Untouchable, Wormtail, untouchable. But not for long. Dumbledore will not always be the most powerful wizard that lived. Once the Plan begins, and the girls are killed, he will not have the power he needs to defeat me. And then, Wormtail-"

The man paused for emphasis.

"I will rule."

Wormtail smiled, his eyes demonic looking.

"And I will be your faithful servant forever more." he said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"No. You will not. You see, Wormtail, you, like today, have failed me. You have failed me too many times. And, I, Lord Voldemort, do not accept failures. And now that I have the information I need from you, I do not need you any longer. Think of our parting. I will live, you will die." said Voldemort, raising his wand.

"No, master, I beg you-"

"Avada kedavra!"

Dani screamed. She watched as a flash of green light flooded the whole dungeon. She heard Voldemort's high pitched maniacal laughing and saw Wormtail's body, twisting, writhing, contorting. She screamed, feeling like her body was going to burst.

"Dani! Dani! Wake up, wake up!!!!!!!!!" said someone, shaking her abruptly.

Dani sat bolt upright, her blue eyes wide with fear.

"Dani! Are you alright? Talk to me!" said someone.

She turned her head, and stared into the faces of the Weasley twins, whose faces were in expressions of identical shock and terror.

"She looks really pale. And her eyes have gone unfocused." said Fred.

"Should we take her to Madam Pomfrey?" asked George, who seemed to be fighting back tears of worry.

Dani stared at them, the same expression on her face, unmoving.

"She's not blinking. George, I'm starting to really get freaked out." said Fred, voice trembling.

George reached for her wrist. "She's still breathing. But I can't feel a pulse. She's gone into shock."

Dani swayed slightly, and the Weasley twins watched in upmost horror as her eyes rolled back into her head and she collapsed.

"Screw that! We have to get her to Dumbledore." said Fred.

At that moment, the Weasley twins and Dani were transported into a room the twins recognised.

Dumbledore's office.

The twins turned to see Dumbledore, his usually kind eyes looking worried.

"Professor-" Fred began.

Dumbledore held up a hand to silence them.

"I know, her condition looks bad. But I know why it happened. Boys, do you know why Dani, Chris and Imogene are here in England?" asked Dumbledore.

"They're here on an exchange student trip." said Fred.

Dumbledore shook his head sadly.

"I wish that was all it was. But it's not. The real reason the girls are here is that Lord Voldemort,"

The boys flinched but Dumbledore ignored it.

"Is trying to kill them. You see, like Harry, their parents died. Tragically killed by Lord Voldemort. They survived, just like Harry. Their parents lived in England, and were members of the Order of the Phoenix. They were good friends with Lily and James. Chris, Imogene and Dani's parents had always agreed that should anything happen to them, they didn't want their kids to be singled out because of it. So we sent them to Australia, where they would live with foster parents, and try to lead a normal life." said Dumbledore.

Fred and George just stood there open-mouthed.

"But, there was a prophecy attached to these girls. Just like the one attached to Harry. It warned that in their 16th year, Voldemort would go after them again. So I brought them here to protect them." said Dumbledore.

"I don't mean to be rude, Professor, but you can' just leave Dani like that." said Fred.

"I know." said Dumbledore, with a twinkle in his eye.

He waved his hand over Dani's face and she woke up.

"Where am I?" she asked, sounding groggy.

"You collapsed. These boys brought you to me, as they were frightened and concerned about you." said Dumbledore, gesturing to the twins, who had smiles on their faces, but looked shaken.

Dani flicked her blue eyes over to them.

"Thanks guys." she said, smiling slightly.

The twins blushed the same colour as their famous red hair.

"We'd better get going." said Fred, and they left the office.

Dumbledore waved at them.

"Danielle, I know you had a dream about Voldemort." said Dumbledore. "I know this will be hard, but I need you to tell me what happened. It's for the safety of your friends." said Dumbledore.

"A man, his name was Wormtail- he was talking to Voldemort about us. He said he and the Death Eaters had sent Dementors to torture us. They know we're here. Then Voldemort said Wormtail had failed him too many times, and used---" Dani trailed off, looking scared.

"Yes?" Dumbledore asked.

"Avada Kedavra. He killed Wormtail." said Dani, softly.

"Peter Pettigrew, Wormtail, was always too trusting. So eager to please. Didn't know how to be his own person." said Dumbledore.

"It's sad he had to die that way, but when you think about it, Dani, he brought it on himself."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oliver and Imogene reached the common room. Imogene was still hiccupping from her tears, and was left with a runny nose.

"So, getting back to this thing with Potter and Chris," Oliver said, "You're best friends with the boyfriend-"

"Brad." Imogene interjected.

"Right, Brad. And you don't know whether to tell him or not." ended Oliver.

"What would you do? If you were me?" asked Imogene.

"Well, first I'd blow my nose." said Oliver, as he handed her a tissue.

"Thanks."

"Well, I'd want to know if I was Brad. So I'd say, 'Brad, I'm telling you this as a friend, but Chris is cheating on you.'" said Oliver.

"But they'll both be so angry at me. Chris was so excited when Brad asked her out." said Imogene.

"Yes, but she abused it, by cheating on him." said Oliver.

"I guess."

Chris, unbeknownst to the couple, had snuck up behind Imogene.

SMACK!

Imogene's cheek tingled from where Chris had just slapped her.

"Bet you didn't see that one coming, did you?!" she said, a mad smile on her face.

"What was that for?" screamed Imogene.

"For making me out to be a slut when you didn't even know the facts!" yelled Chris.

"I know what I saw, you stupid bitch!" yelled Imogene.

Chris stared at her, open-mouthed.

"Yeah, that's right! Bring it on!" yelled Imogene, pacing around Chris menacingly.

"Just think about it, what are you going to do when I tell Brad?" Imogene hissed in Chris' ear.

The twins walked in, looking ashen faced.

They saw the girls fighting, and exchanged glances with Oliver, who drew a finger across his throat and pointing at Chris.

"Girls, break it up. There's something wrong with Dani." Fred announced.

The girls spun around quickly.

Even Oliver looked worried.

"What's wrong?" asked Imogene, and the twins explained.

"Is she OK?" asked Chris, looking as though she was going to cry.

"Is who OK?" asked Dani, as she casually entered the common room.

"Dani!" everyone exclaimed.

"Oh, this is about that thing before, isn't it? The thing where I was screaming in my sleep?" she asked as the girls sobbed into her shoulders.

"Yes, and Chris kissed Harry." said Imogene.

"Yeah, well I had this dream and--- WHAT? CHRIS KISSED HARRY!!!!!!!" yelled Dani.

Imogene shot a dirty look at Chris, and looked at Dani, ready for her to tell Chris off.

"Oh well, big deal. I knew it was going to happen anyway." said Dani.

"What?" Imogene asked incredulously.

"Well, was I the only one who picked up the UST between them?" asked Dani, looking at her nails.

"What's UST?" asked George.

"Unresolved sexual tension. You know, when you see sparks fly between people? A connection?" tried Dani.

"Oh." said the twins, Oliver, and Chris.

Imogene, however looked unimpressed.

"But how could you, Chris??? I mean, you cheated on Brad. He loves you so much. You're going to have to tell him. Or we will." Dani added, looking at Imogene, who nodded.

Chris looked upset.

"I know." she said.

"Now, Imogene, I'm not going to allow you to be mad at Chris." said Dani firmly.

"Why not?" asked Imogene indignantly.

"Because of the fact that all need each other at the moment." said Dani, casting a look around to Oliver and the twins. "Voldemort is looking for us, and he wants to kill us. That means we might die, if he can get that close to us. I want us to die as friends, rather than enemies."

"I agree. Sorry, Imogene." said Chris.

"I'm sorry too Chris." said Imogene, and the two girls hugged.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MEANWHILE IN AUSTRALIA......

Brad Stevenson walked dejectedly from Gembrook High. Where were Chris, Dani and Imogene? He considered them best friends, that's why he found it so bizarre that they had just disappeared off the face of the planet. They hadn't left a note or anything.

As it had been 2 weeks since he had last seen them, and they weren't answering their phone, or mobile phones, he'd reported them as Missing Persons to the police. They had run a background check on the girls, and found that they were all orphans. Their parents had been enjoying a dinner together at Dani's parents house in England when a fire broke out. Their parents had all survived, and a firefighter had pulled out the babies, who were completely unharmed, except for the fact that they all shared an identical scar on their lower backs, in the shape of a lightening bolt.

The girls had been moved to Australia, as per their parents' will and been settled in with a foster home.

But that was all the police check had found.

Even stranger still, was that when the foster family was contacted about them, they said they never took in those children.

Brad had been questioned about it, as a suspect for their disappearence, which he'd found extremely traumatic.

After that, the police said they couldn't help Brad out anymore.

Brad had been plagued by questions as to their absence. After all the girls were perhaps the most popular girls in the whole high school, and their absence was noticed, not only by the entire student body, but by the teachers.

Brad had decided to take matters into his own hands. He was going to find them himself.

He walked up the stairs to their apartment.

He'd visited there a lot recently, hoping that they would be there, but they never were.

Reaching their door, he was about to knock when he noticed something.

On the ground was a red and gold feather, half under the door.

He bent down to pick it up, and as soon as he touched it, he was transported into a mass of swirling colour.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE

Brad brushed himself off as he stepped off a stray feather like the one he had picked up.

The room he was in had an exceptionally high ceiling, and every inch of it was covered in portraits, which were- moving?????????

There was shelves full of interesting looking silver instruments, huge books and on one shelf, a faded leather witches hat.

"Where am I?" Brad thought out loud.

He looked around him.

"Professor Dumbledore!" a familiar voice called.

Brad spun around to see Chris, who looked exactly as he remembered her, except she was wearing black robes and a different school uniform, with a scarlet and gold tie.

"Chris?" Brad asked, not daring to believe it.

"Brad?" Chris exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" she asked, rushing over to him and giving him a huge hug.

"I don't exactly know? Why are you here, I was worried sick."

"Ah, Mr. Stevenson. Miss Black. I've been expecting you." said a man, entering the room. To a Muggle, like Brad, he looked strange, with long robes and a longer beard to boot.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" asked Brad nervously.

"I am Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." said Dumbledore, his kind blue eyes twinkling.

"So why is Chris here? She isn't a witch? There's no such thing." laughed Brad, looking at Chris, who looked away quickly.

"I think you'd better fetch Miss Stimson and Miss Herald." said Dumbledore to Chris.

"No need." said Dani, walking in with Imogene. "We know when we're wanted."

"Imogene and Dani are here too?" asked Brad. "Why?"

"I think the girls better explain that." said Dumbledore.

Brad looked at them expectantly.

"Brad, there's no easy way to tell you this-" Imogene began.

"Yes, there is. Brad, we're witches." Dani cut in.

There was silence (insert own idea of tumbleweeds rolling around Dumbledore's office here).

"You're lying." laughed Brad nervously. "There's no way you can be-"

"Witches?" Chris interrupted. "Yes there is. That's why we're here. That and the fact that a seriously evil wizard named Lord Voldemort is trying to kill us." she added as an afterthought.

"I still don't believe you, but then, Dani doesn't usually lie-" said Brad.

"To your face, anyway." snorted Chris.

"I'll prove it to you then." said Dani. She began pacing around him menacingly with her wand, loving the fact she was scaring him so much.

Dumbledore conjured up a chair for him to sit on, watching with amusement.

"What shall it be? Batwing bogies? Turning you into a toad? Actually, how about I do something to lift your spirits?" said Dani decisively.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" she cried, and levitated him up a few feet from the ground.

"Good show, Miss Stimson, good show!" said Dumbledore, applauding.

"Aaaarrrggghhh! I believe you! You are witches!" yelled Brad.

"Sad how you wouldn't believe your own friends, isn't it? How about I bring you back down to earth." said Dani, putting her wand down, and watched Brad fall on the floor.

"Brad, there is more about the girls you must find out. I know it has been as hard on you than it has on them. You can stay here for a week." said Dumbledore.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Brad, still feeling a little shaken, walked with the girls to the common room in silence.

"How long have you guys known?" he asked, quietly.

"Ever since we were born." said Chris.

"Why didn't you tell me? You also didn't tell me that you were leaving!" said Brad angrily, his voice rising.

The girls remained silent.

"And, Chris, my own girlfriend, didn't tell me about herself being what she is! Chris, when you agreed to having a relationship, you told me it had to be based on honesty and trust! But you didn't display any of those traits!" yelled Brad.

Chris grabbed Brad's wrists and pinned him against the wall.

"You want a relationship based on honesty and trust, fine! I have to tell you something really bad." she hissed.

"What?" asked Brad, a little taken aback by her aggression.

Chris opened her mouth to speak, dreading the impact of the words she was about to have come out of her mouth.

Authors Notes: Sorry, had to leave you there. I know this was quite a long chapter (13 pages on Microsoft Word), but the ideas kept flowing. I hope you liked it. I did.

Next chapter will be up soon, and it'll be written by SugaQuill03.
