Yeah so this chappies a little longer than the rest. I wont stop at the
first cliffhanger cause I know you guys wanna know what's going on.
Oh yeah its time to answer questions from readers!
Harry: Yay!
Author: *digs hand into mailbag* Ah here we go. Wouldn't Draco's robes have a Syltherin badge on them?
Harry: Well? Explain yourself!
Author: Actually in the books students would get their robes from Madame Malkins prior to being sorted into their houses. Therefore there is nothing that distinguishes them. See in the movies, there's been quite a bit of stuff changed around.
Harry: next question
Author: Okay. Are they in Potions class?
Harry: no!
Author: Yeah cause if you read closely at the begin it said, "There he sat, bored in Lupin's class"
Harry: The ignorance.
Author: *smacks Harry on head* Ehem. You'll see more of that in this chapter. Well that's all the questions we have for today! On with the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 4- Your name is WHAT?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Eric Dumbledore."
"WHAT?!?" cried Harry. "I didn't know that Dumbledore had a grandson!"
"Actually he's my adopted father" said Draco "But that's close enough."
He was rolling with laughter inside his head and wished he could express his hilarity. Oh how he LOVED it when Harry squirmed at the mention of Dumbledore's name. Surely he would not think him to be Draco now; praising Dumbledore was had never been something Draco ever did.
"So then why are you just coming to Hogwarts then?" Harry
asked. He was dying to get to the bottom of this.
Malfoy's head was churning, how was he supposed to answer that? Was Potter testing him? Biting his lip to keep from showing his inward frustration, his outward appearance turned out quite agitated-looking. The silence was growing longer by the second.
Ron stared at Malfoy expectantly; surely this answer should not take so long? Draco was furious, how could Potter unravel another one of his plans? He almost growled at them, and then caught himself, as he saw who had just swept through the door.
The professor from the train! The realization hit him as hard as though he had just had his favorite possession taken away from him. The roll call! How could he have been so stupid? As soon as they realize that there is no "Eric", but rather a missing Draco Malfoy, even Weasley would be able to put two and two together.
Harry was also groaning inwardly. As soon as Eric hears Potter, he would never be able to hear the end of it. They bother were ready to scream with hidden anger.
"Hello class," the words were smooth and easy to listen too, "my name is Professor Lupin. I shall serve as your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Today..."
Harry and Draco held their breaths, "we shall first take role call." Draco crumpled unto himself, how much of an idiot was he acting to look like now? Harry just sighed. Draco moved lower and lower in his seat.
But then, as the fifth name in the list was called, Draco nearly died from shock. After "Crabbe, Vincent?" was
"Dumbledore, Eric?"
He needed air. He needed a paper bag... anything! How could this be possible? His classmates began to notice how stressed he was when threw himself out of his chair panting, eyes crazed, launching his body to the front of the room and snatched the roll call scroll form Lupin's surprised fingers.
He ran his eyes up and down, frantic, and stopped at two places: one where the words Eric Dumbledore were scrawled, and two, where his name should have been, but wasn't there!
"Just checking to see if my name was spelled right," croaked Draco, "Yup E-R-I-C that's my name." Lupin looked at him quizzically. Who was this befuddled-looking boy?
"May I please have the roster back?" asked Lupin questioningly. He had no idea why this boy was behaving so strangely. Perhaps he was new.
"Sorry 'bout that," gasped Draco. By now he had turned a shade of red never been seen before.
'Why isn't my name REAL name on the list?' he thought. Could he have somehow changed it subconsciously? 'No it can't be' he thought.
"Now lets continue shall we?" said Professor Lupin, "Granger, Hermione? Goyle, Gregory?..." Everything around Draco seemed to be a blur.
"Finnegan, Seamus? Longbottom, Neville?"
He was beginning to sway ominously in his chair...
"Patil, Parvarti?"
He had to close his eyes to keep from falling...
"Potter, Harry?"
Draco fainted and fell to the floor with a thud.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Uh oh! Why isn't his name on the list? Why does it say Eric? What the heck is going on? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
