Chapter 3: Surprise?

"What!" Dianna exclaimed loudly. Harry just looked puzzled.

"But I'm and only child," he finally spit out.

"And Harry can't be my brother, my brother's name is Derek Davis!" cried Dianna.

"No Dianna, Harry, you both incorrect," said Dumbledore.

"Then why don't I live with Harry?" Dianna said a little louder then she meant, "Or why doesn't he live with me?"

Professor Dumbledore smiled slightly. "Let me explain. At the age of one, your family was attacked by Lord Voldemort. As both of your father, James tried to hold him back while Lily shoved you, Dianna under the bed. As she was about to hide Harry, Voldemort killed James, and entered. Lily pleaded with him to spare you Harry, but Voldemort showed no mercy. He killed her. He turned his wand to Harry, not even knowing about you, Dianna. When he did the Arvada Kedarva curse on Harry, it hit his forehead and your arm, when you tried to crawl out, and ricocheted. Voldemort retreated as an evil soul. When we sent Hagrid to retrieve Harry from the ruble, he did not know that there was another child under the bed, and we wanted to keep it that way."

"Other then me, there were only three other people, alive, who knew about Dianna's birth. These people were of course, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Serverus Snape. So naturally, I sent him to retrieve you from what was left of the house, as Sirius was on the run. We put you into an orphanage in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Davis family and their son took you in. You've lived with them for fourteen years. You would have come to Hogwarts with Harry but we were afraid. If anyone knew your true Identity it could mean trouble. Since Voldemort is back we felt you weren't safe enough in the muggle world anymore, so we brought you here." Dumbledore finish with a sigh. Dianna and Harry just sat in their chairs, to stunned to say or do anything.

"Well you are probably both very tired," said Dumbledore, breaking the strange silence, "I suggest you both get to bed, the password is Phoenix Feather." At this Dianna and Harry got up and left the room.

They walked all the way to the common room, still in complete silence. Everyone had already gone to bed and they decided that was best, because they were, indeed, very tired. They headed to their dorms with nothing but a "Goodnight." But on each face, a small smile was plastered as they each held back a brother or sister.

The next morning Harry was woken up by Ron, as he was asleep much before Harry had gotten back from the Headmasters office. They went down into the common room, where they met up with Ginny, Hermione and Dianna and together, they headed down to breakfast.

"So Harry," Ron asked on their way down, "What did Dumbledore want with you in Dianna?" They both looked at him, unsure of what to say, as Dumbledore had told them they couldn't tell anyone.

Harry looked guiltily at them. "We can't tell you..."

Ron spluttered at him. "You can't tell us? Why not? You can tell us anything!"

Dianna had to laugh at him. "Ron, we'd tell you if we were allowed but Professor Dumbledore said we couldn't tell anyone, even you. I'm sorry."

"But..."

"We Can't Ron." They continued on to the Great Hall in silence. By the time they got there, the first owls were already coming in. Most carrying items students left behind in the hurry to get the station. They sat down and began grabbing breakfast items. Nothing came for Harry, Hermione, Ron or Ginny but that was normal, it was surprising enough when an Eagle owl landed in front of Dianna. "Wha..."

"Hey, isn't that Draco's owl?" asked Hermione, looking suspiciously at the letter.

"You know, I think your right Hermione!" exclaimed Ron.

"Of course I'm right Ron!"

"Er...yeah...right. So open it Dianna!"

"Be careful though, you never know what that rogue might do," Harry said watching Draco with curiosity, who in turn was watching Dianna with an apprehensive look. Dianna untied the letter from the owl and it flew back to Draco, causing more people to see. It was VERY unusual for a Slytherin owl to go to the Gryffindor table.

Dianna,

I know you don't know me but my names Draco Malfoy. Normally we'd be mortal enemies, seeing as your friends with Potter and you're a Gryffindor, but if you'd like to get together some time and just chat, perhaps we could learn a bit more about each other?

Draco Malfoy

"He does fancy Dianna!" said Ron, trying his hardest not to laugh.

"So are you going to go out with him?" asked Harry with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"I don't know, like he said, we don't really know each other. I guess it wouldn't hurt to meet him though, would it?"

"It would! Malfoy is like the root of all evil!" exclaimed Hermione.

"I thought that was supposed to be women..." Ron said with a highly confused look on his face. All the girls in the nearby vicinity glared at him. "What? That's what Fred and George said!"

"You listen to Fred and George's woman advice Ron?" laughed Ginny. "Anyways Dianna, Malfoy is the one over at the Slytherin table, not hard to miss. He's the one with slicked back blonde hair surrounded by a Goyle and Crabbe, the kids who look more like boulders..."

"The one with that pug faced girl attempting to get his attention? While he instead is staring at me?" Dianna asked with a grin on her face.

Hermione, Ginny, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil all giggled. "Yeah, that one." Just then, Professor McGonagall came around with their time tables.

"Ah no! We have Potions, Divination, Transfiguration and then History of Magic...great," whined Ron.

"Oh Ron, it's not that bad. Even though I don't have Divination with the old fraud. What do you have Dianna?"

"I have Transfiguration, Defense against the Dark Arts, Potions and Flying...flying?" Before Dianna could get her answer though, the bell rang for their first class. They split up with a "See you at Lunch."

At lunch Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dianna were discussing their first classes. "Man, can you believe it," said Ron.

"What?" asked Dianna.

"We were late for potions because of Peeves and all Snape said to us was, Oh good Potter, you're here. He didn't take any points, give detention or Anything!"

"No way?"

"It's true," nodded Hermione. "But Dianna, how did you do on your needle in Transfiguration?" Knowing all first years started with turning hay into needles.

"Oh, I did ok, I guess. I made a needle with little pink hearts and then Professor McGonagall got a bit mad at me..." Dianna giggled.

"What for?" asked Ginny.

"I turned her desk into a pig and forgot how to turn it back. I found it strange when she awarded me 20 points."

"Huh...we don't start turning things into animals in first year. I wasn't even able to do that," Hermione said in a hurt voice.

"Err...what about in D.A.D.A?" asked Harry, attempting to get off the subject.

Dianna shrugged. "Good I guess. Got awarded 10 more points."

"Good Job." The bell rang and they headed off to their next classes.

"Cya at Dinner you guys!" Dianna waved to her new friends while heading off to potions.

Dianna's potion class went amazingly well. For all the bad things she's heard about Professor Snape, he was amazingly nice to her and the other Gryffindors. Then again, he was the one who pulled her from the ruble of her house...

The next class Dianna had was flying, but all they learned was how to get on the broom and none of the flying itself. Her and her classmates were lined up, facing each other, a broom to there right. Madam Hooch walked out of the castle and towards them.

"Right then class, put your right hand over you brooms and say "UP!"

The class was filled with Up's as everyone attempted to raise their brooms, Dianna, luckily, got hers up on the second up.

"Try putting a little oomph in it!" shouted Madam Hooch. Finally everyone got their brooms up and into their hands. Next, she showed them how to mount their brooms, without sliding off then end. Dianna felt extremely happy when Madam Hooch said she was doing it correctly but frowned when Kiirby was doing it wrong. It looked the same to her.

Once she began to show the class how to rise somewhat, Dianna excitedly thought that perhaps they might fly this class period, but by the time everyone in the class was able to get into the air and back down safely, class was in its last minutes.

She headed down to dinner, with Draco Malfoy on her mind. She wondered what he was like and if she should go to the dance with him. She had never dated a guy before and she wasn't sure how she was supposed to act. She continued to think about it and she didn't even notice her running into Ginny.

"Oh, sorry Dianna, missed ya there."

"Huh. Oh yeah, my fault." They walked to the Gryffindor table together, Dianna casting a glance at Malfoy, and sat down. Harry and the others came soon after.
