Forbidden Chapter 2: Siblings' Fight/I'm Sorry"GRYFFINDOR!"
The entire hall went silent, everyone was in shock, especially those in Slytherin as they glanced at Draco, whose face was paler than usual and his icy blue eyes harden with disbelief and shock, maybe even anger.
"Are you okay Malfoy?" asked Pansy, placing a hand on the blonde boy's shoulder.
"Do I look like I'm okay?" growled Draco, glaring at Pansy before he turned to look at his twin sister walking towards the Gryffindor Table.
Pansy immediately closed her mouth and kept quiet. She knew better than to irritate Draco when he's this angry.
'Is D-chan mad at me?' thought Usagi as she nervously glanced at her twin brother, his icy blue eyes staring at her own baby blue ones. Usagi saw disbelief, anger and even betrayal in Draco's eyes and immediately looked away.
She then took a seat besides a boy about her age with unruly jet-black hair and bright green eyes behind glasses and a girl with long, bushy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.
Everyone was still silent until Professor Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat.
"Ahem," he coughed. "Now that the sorting ceremony is over, I would like to remind the older students and at the same time advice our new students that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to every student and that no one is allowed to wander in the halls at night or outside the schools grounds. Now let the feast begin,"
Professor Dumbledore clapped his hands twice and piles of food of every kind suddenly appeared at each of the tables.
That seemed to ease the tension and soon everyone was chatting and eating.
Well almost everyone.
Usagi could see that, although the people in her House had began eating and talking, they still seemed tensed that she's here, sitting at their House Table, being in Gryffindor.
'I'm an outcast here. Why couldn't the Hat choose me in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor? Then D-chan wouldn't have been mad at me,' thought Usagi bitterly and stared down at her plate, her eyes gleaming with sadness.
"Potatoes?" asked a voice besides her.
Usagi snapped her head up and turned to face the owner of the voice. "What?"
"I said, do you want some potatoes?" asked the boy with the unruly jet-black hair and bright green eyes. He was holding out a plate of mashed potatoes at her.
"Umm…Thanks," said Usagi and carefully took the plate from the boy and began piling bits of mashed potatoes in her plate.
"My name's Harry Potter," introduced the boy and held out his hand.
"My name's Usagi Malfoy," replied Usagi as she shook hands with Harry, noticing Harry cringingly slightly at her last name.
"Doesn't Usagi mean rabbit in Japanese?" asked the bushy brown-haired girl besides Usagi.
"Yes, it does," replied Usagi, turning to face the other girl.
"My name's Hermoine Granger," said the girl. "So tell me Usagi, why is your name Japanese?"
"Well, my mum was Japanese, along with the fact that me and Draco were raised for four years in Japan before we moved to Britain," explained Usagi.
"So that means that you know how to speak Japanese and that Draco's your brother?" asked Hermoine.
"Hai," said Usagi in Japanese. "Draco's my twin brother actually,"
"Your twin?!" exclaimed Harry, who had been listening to the girls' conversation curiously.
"Yup," answered Usagi, a small smile began to form on her lips.
"You don't act anything like him, or at least you don't now," said Hermoine.
"Huh?" said Usagi, confused. "What do you mean? What's he like here?"
"Well, he's mean, nasty and not to mention, snotty," replied Harry.
"All in all, a jerk," added a boy with short flame-red hair and dark brown eyes, sitting across Usagi.
"Ron!" scolded Hermoine.
"Well it's the truth," said Ron, shrugging his shoulders.
"Really?" asked Usagi.
'That's not like the Draco I used to know, not like him at all,' thought Usagi, frowning.
"Enough about Malfoy. What's it like there in Drumstang," asked Ron with interest.
"Oh it's very cold most of the time but when it gets warmer, we usually wear our Muggle clothes instead of our thick school robes. Then we stay outside and play Quidditch or go exploring. Its really beautiful, during the cold climate, the wide mountain that shadows the whole school is covered with white snow along with our school so it looks like a winter paradise while during the warm climate, its looks like spring," said Usagi, a glitter in her eyes.
"You play Quidditch?" asked Harry.
"Yeah, I regularly play as one of the Chasers and I sometimes play as Viktor's substitute when he can't," replied Usagi.
"You're friends with Viktor Krum? THE Viktor Krum?" asked Ron, his eyes wide. Obviously he'd forgotten about being angry with Krum about the incident last year and had gone back to being his number one fan.
"Yup," replied Usagi.
"And you also play as his substitute?"
"Yeah, sometimes,"
Usagi then became aware of her twin's cold eyes staring at her back.
"Is my twin looking at me?" she asked softly.
Harry, Ron and Hermione turned to look. Sure enough, Draco was watching them; his icy blue eyes seemed colder than usual. He saw that the three of them noticed him and looked away.
"He is," said Harry as he, Ron, and Hermoine turned back to their food.
"I guess as much. We do have a sort of connection," said Usagi and began to chew on a piece of loaf.
When the feast was finished and everyone had their fill, the leftovers, along with the plates and goblets, disappeared.
The students were being led to their rooms by the prefects while the teachers went back to their own private rooms. (Hagrid went back to his hut near the Forbidden Forest.)
As Usagi walked with the other Gryffindors, a hand suddenly came out of nowhere and grabbed her shoulder.
Usagi struggled as she felt herself being dragged away for the other students.
Usagi then managed to elbow her attacker on the ribs.
"Ouch!" cried a voice behind her.
Usagi stopped struggling, her eyes wide. She knew that voice.
Usagi turned to see her twin, Draco, rubbing his side where she elbowed him.
"That hurts Usa-chan," said Draco jokingly.
"D-chan!" exclaimed Usagi and jumped into Draco's open arms, hugging him tightly.
"Um..Usa-chan, I can't…breathe," said Draco, his face starting to turn blue.
Usagi looked up and saw Draco's blue face, which was now starting to turn purple, and immediately let go.
"Heh heh. Sorry D-chan," apologized Usagi, a sheepish look on her face.
"But how did you? I mean how did…." started Draco, feeling ridiculously tongue-tied.
"Mum and Dad told me to transfer here at Hogwarts on the last day of school last school year," explained Usagi, smiling. "I think they want me to keep an eye on you."
"I can take care of myself thank you very much," replied Draco sarcastically, crossing his arms.
Usagi laughed softly. "Yeah right,"
"So how are you anyway?" Usagi asked.
"Oh, I'm fine," replied Draco, smiling before it turned into a frown as he added, "Except for the fact that my own twin sister is in Gryffindor when she should be in Slytherin,"
"How would you know that I should be in Slytherin and not in Gryffindor?" asked Usagi, a hint of anger in her voice.
"Usagi, our family has been in Slytherin for generations to generations. Surely, you, as a Malfoy, should be in Slytherin also," replied Draco, sounding as if he was talking to a curious little girl instead of an educated teenager.
"I also saw you with talking to that Potter guy and his two friends. Stay away from them. They're the worst kind of Muggle-lovers there is. That Hermoine girl is even a Mudblood for Christ's sake!" added Draco.
"You know D-chan," said Usagi, her eyes narrowed, "I really don't care if Hermione's a Mudblood or not and I certainly don't care that Harry and the others are Muggle-lovers. They're my friends and you can't stop me from seeing them!"
Usagi then turned her back to Draco and walked away, fuming.
'How dare he tell me to who I should be friends with or not! Just because he happens to be five minutes older than me doesn't give him the right to order me around! I'm not a baby! I can take care of myself!' thought Usagi angrily as she stormed up towards the stairs.
Fortunately for her, Usagi had asked Harry earlier where the Gryffindor Tower is so didn't have to ask anybody where it is.
After a while, Usagi stood in front of the large portrait of the Fat Lady.
'Finally, I made it,' thought Usagi. She was still angry at her twin's over protectiveness (AN: if that's what you can call it.)
"Password?" asked the Fat Lady.
"Butterbeer," said Usagi, she also managed to ask the Gryffindor prefect what the password is.
The portrait swung open to admit her, revealing a large round hole in the wall behind it.
Usagi climbed in and soon found herself in the Gryffindor common room.
She saw Ron, Harry and Hermoine waiting for her by the stairs which Usagi guessed led the way to their dorms.
"Hey guys," said Usagi as she approached the three. She tried to put on a smile.
"What's wrong Usagi?" asked Harry, noticing that Usagi's smile was fixed.
Usagi frowned. She can sense that the three noticed her fixed smile.
'Drat! Well, I guess I better tell them,' thought Usagi and proceeded to tell her story.
When she was finished, their expressions were as she expected. All three of them had a frown on each of their faces.
"Well I'm sure glad that you didn't do as he said Usagi," said Ron finally.
"Yeah and I'm glad that you're not offended by me being a Muggle-born," said Hermoine.
Usagi's lips twisted into a small, and yet genuine, smile. "No problem. Besides he's not the boss of me,"
Harry was silent while the three conversed. He was relieved that Usagi's not like her brother, Malfoy.
'Not to mention the fact that she's pretty cute,' said a voice at the back of his mind.'Who said that?!' exclaimed Harry in his mind.
'I did,'
'Who are you?'
'I'm a part of your mind Harry. Most people call me Emotion while others call me Love''I am NOT in love with Usagi,' shouted Harry in his mind. A blush began creeping across his cheeks.
'I didn't said that you're in love with Usagi. But I can tell that you like her,''How do you know?'
'Foolish boy, I am Emotion, of course I know.'
'Okay, okay. I like her. There, satisfied?'
'For now…..'
'What?!?!'
The voice in his head didn't reply for another voice broke into Harry's thoughts.
"Harry? Harry? Are you there?"
"Huh?" said Harry, snapping back to reality as he noticed that Usagi was waving her hand across is face.
"Are you okay? You seemed to be in a daze," asked Usagi, a concerned look in her face.
"I'm fine. Just a little sleepy," answered Harry, blushing a slight red.
"Well okay," said Usagi, although she didn't look too convinced.
"Goodnight then," Usagi added and started to climb up the stairs leading to the girls' dormitories.
"Night everyone," said Hermoine before she followed Usagi up the stairs.
"Night," said the two boys and went up another stairs leading, this time, to the boys' dormitories.
~ Much Later, In the Girls' Dormitories ~
Usagi and Hermoine were laying face up on their own beds, wearing their pajamas. They'd found out that they were roommates and when they'd entered their dorm room. There, they noticed Usagi's trunk already placed at the foot of a once vacant bed. They also saw Amory, Usagi's pet flacon which was colored black with silver and blue stripes in its wings and chest, perched on a golden perch which Usagi had bought for him.
"Night Usagi," said Hermoine sleepily.
"Night," replied Usagi and was soon fast asleep.
But at midnight, Usagi was disturbed in her sleep when she heard a sound, the sound of wood being creaked.
'What's that?' thought Usagi. She managed to stop shivering, making her look like she's still sleeping.
The blonde girl heard the shuffling of a piece of paper being stamped on the drawer besides her bed.
Out of instinct, Usagi reached for her wand besides her and was about to attack when she heard silence.
After a while, Usagi opened her eyes to take a peek. She saw no one.
Seeing that the coast is clear, Usagi sat in he bed and noticed a piece of paper laying on top of her drawer, stamped by one of her school books.
Usagi reached over and unstamped the paper. She then began to read:
Meet me at the Gryffindor common room now.
D-chanUsagi wasted no more time and got up from the bed. She then hurriedly put on her bathrobe and left the room quietly.
Usagi hurried down the stairs and into the common room.
There, she saw Draco standing casually besides the fireplace.
"Hey," said Draco as Usagi approached him.
Usagi didn't reply. Instead, she gave Draco a death glare.
"I take it you're still mad at me," said Draco.
Usagi nodded her head.
"I don't blame you. I guess I did get carried away," said Draco, a sheepish look in his face.
He then looked into Usagi's eyes and said, "I'm sorry,"
Usagi's frown twisted into a smile. No matter how much she's angry at her brother, they've always managed to make up.
"Its okay, I forgive you," she said softly and hugged Draco.
"Thank you," said Draco as he hugged the girl back.
The two just stood there, hugging each other when a thought struck Usagi.
"How did you get here anyhow?" asked Usagi as she pulled herself away from Draco's hug.
Draco grinned mischievously. "I have my ways," he said mysteriously.
"D-chan……" warned Usagi, her eyes narrowed.
Draco laughed for a while before he said (with a serious look in his face), "Anyway, I have to go now,"
"Okay, bye," said Usagi, watching as Draco turned his back to her and walked towards the hole leading outside.
"Bye," said Draco, turning to give his twin a wink before he slipped out of the hole and went outside.
Seeing that her twin is safely backed outside, Usagi went upstairs and back into her room.
As soon as she crawled back to bed, Usagi instantly fell fast asleep, a smile on her lips.
~ Sakura ~ That's all for now everyone. ^.^ By the way, don't be mad at me for screwing up the last part (where Usagi heard the sound, etc…). My sister was sitting besides me and, as you can tell, I can't concentrate with someone looking over my shoulder, reading my chapter before its finish. It gives me the shivers *shudders* Anyway, I got to go now. Sayanora! Also, please r+r! Flames (most likely) are accepted. ^.^
