Two weeks had gone by and still nothing had happened. I knew that I was Potter's twin but nothing had changed. Although I didn't think I loathed him as much, as Draco pointed out one day in Potions class,
"Sara what is wrong with you?" he said and my head snapped around looking at Draco I frowned,
"Nothing. Why do you ask?" I said softly so Snape didn't over hear, Slytherin or not if he caught Draco and I talking in his class there would be detentions.
"Well you never pick on Potter any more." He said as I glanced at Potter. I couldn't tell him could I, would it change how he felt about me? Merlin, listen to me I'm thinking like Draco has feelings for me. Seeing Snape look up from his work at me I turn back to my Potion and the whisper to Draco when Snape had looked away,
"I'll tell you after class." Draco frowned and then shrugged.
As we exited Draco quickly grabbed me by the arm pulling me away from the crowd and into an empty near by classroom,
"Well then what's going on." He said, he sounded annoyed about having to wait for the information. I smirked slightly before looking down at my feet,
"Well... I think I've gone a bit soft for him..." Draco gasped, putting both hands on my shoulders and shaking me slightly,
"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with him or something equally disgusting." He said holding my shoulders tightly. I shook my head quickly and frowned in disgust,
"No Draco nothing like that. Its just..." 'Where should I start?' I thought not being able to end my sentence I sighed. Draco who still hadn't released me just looked me in the eye and gave me a 'Well?' look,
"Dumbledore called me to his office a couple of weeks ago. You saw me remember?" I said biting my lip as he nodded,
"Well Dumbledore told me something about my past that you're never going to believe..." I paused again, Dumbledore told me to be careful whom I trusted with this, but I did trust Draco,
"I'm Harry's twin sister." I said in a whisper and for a moment I didn't think Draco had heard me. And then his mouth dropped open and his hands released their grip on my shoulders, but I didn't move. I needed to know what Draco was going to do, if he was going to tell the whole school then I was in trouble. But Draco just stood there,
"Draco?" I said, it seemed that he had gone into shock
"Sara you can't be serious. I mean really Potter's twin you don't look a thing like him." Was all he managed to get out as he stepped away from me, I just nodded. I knew instantly I knew that it was a bad idea telling Draco. He would surely tell everyone and then Harry would know and then well I didn't want to think about what might happen next.
"Well that still doesn't explained why you've gone soft on him." He said matter of fact-ly. He didn't shout or hex me into next week or even threaten to tell the whole school; he just stood there,
"Well I don't... I don't know. I mean he's my brother, I can't just ignore that." I replied,
I knew that it was a lame excuse but it was the best I could come up with. Draco just smirked, and stepped forward putting his hands back on my shoulders, although much more gently this time. He softly kissed my forehead, we had been getting close lately but I knew he was going to ask something important. He always kissed my forehead before he did,
"Sara do you believe this war that Voldermort is trying to start against the Mudbloods and Muggles?" I frowned, 'What a totally out of place question.' I though to myself and I shrugged,
"Not since I met him, he's crazy." He smiled,
"Sara what would you say if I said that Harry and I are working together." And that stoped me, my mouth opened and then shut again. I looked at Draco trying to see if there was any sign that he was joking,
"You're not joking, are you?" He shook his head looking down for a moment,
"Sara you have to believe me when I say that you can join us too." I was stunned; Draco was opening up to me. I had been trying to get him to open up to me for weeks and nothing seemed to work, I never thought that telling him about Harry would lead him to open up.
And he just then he smiled again, before taking my hand and pulling me out of the classroom and down the hall. Almost running to keep up with Draco as he sped through the corridors, I tired to get him to stop so I could talk to him. But it was no use; he was ready to pull me through the whole castle if he had to. When we finally reached the library he slowed as we walked into the library. A he pulled me to the back of the library I finally got the breath to speak up,
"Draco what are we doing here?" I said but he put his hand up to my lips to silence me. As we went further into the library I heard soft voices. For a moment I thought we were going to listen to someone conversation before Draco announced himself,
"Hey you three." He said and he pulled me from behind the bookshelf and I found myself face to face with Potter, Weasel and Granger. I didn't understand why Draco was being nice to them,
"Hey Malfoy." Potter said and then looked at me,
"Your Sara Carson right?" he said looking at me, I nodded looking at Draco, but he just smiled at me and then looked at the trio,
"Sara you wanted to know if I was telling the truth didn't you." He said and I nodded slowly. He then reached forward to the table and pointed his wand at it just beside where Hermione was sitting; muttering a small incantation a small drawer popped out and inside was a piece of paper.
"Draco are you sure you want to show her that?" Hermione said, she wasn't stopping him and she wasn't being snide she just asked him a question like he was a friend. Draco just nodded and said,
"I think she would want her name on here too." Hermione just shrugged and said,
"I will Oblivate her memory if she doesn't like it." Hermione said pulling out her wand. I glared at her. I knew that Draco wouldn't show me something that sounded really important unless he thought I would agree. Looking over his shoulder I see that it was a list of names, at the top it read, 'Students of the Phoenix' I tilted my head, the trio were the first on the list followed by many names on the list and the paper seemed to be changing the list all the time. I noticed that Draco's name was almost in the middle of the list.
"What is Students of the Phoenix?" I said looking to Draco. He looked at me and smiled,
"These are all the students in Hogwarts that are fighting against Voldermort. After what you told me I knew you would be supportive." I looked at him, there were some many names on the list, and finally it stopped changing when it got to the bottom of the list, there was enough space for one more name.
"If you add you name though you have to know, if you say anything to Voldermort or any of his followers about the Order or about whose names are on the list you will be cursed and your mouth will disappear and you won't remember what you were going to say." Harry said looking at me seriously. I knew this was serious but I knew I couldn't fight with Voldermort knowing that I was Harry's sister. I nodded and pulled my quill from my bag,
"Do I need to sign with a special quill or will mine do?" I said looking to Hermione, and she just smiled.
"Your's is fine." She said and I placed the parchment onto the table and I was about to write my name when I stopped. Should I write 'Sara Carson' as my name or should I wait and write my real name.
"Sara?" Draco said as he placed his hand on my shoulder, I looked over my shoulder and he gave my shoulder a quick squeeze. I turned back to the parchment and signed my name, 'Sara Carson' and when I found out my real name I would cross out Sara and write that on there instead. She looked at her name for a moment and then the words disappeared into the parchment.
"Well it's never done that before." Hermione said looking at the parchment, then just as suddenly as the words disappeared they reappeared, but it didn't say 'Sara Carson' any more it said 'Haylie Potter'. I quickly put my hand over the parchment hoping that the trio didn't see it. I wasn't ready to tell Harry about who I really was, but Draco put his hand over mine,
"Sara what is it?" he said, Draco didn't see it either and I sighed inwardly.
"Her last name changed to Potter" Ron said as he leaned over Hermione,
"Why would it change Hermione?" I said quickly, she shrugged,
"Well I did charm it so that you couldn't put a false name on it, maybe that's what happens when you put a false name or misspell you name. It changes to the right one." Harry frowned I could tell he was trying to reason with himself,
"But that still doesn't work. I mean why would her last name change to Potter?" Harry said,
"Lift you hand Sara." Ron said, he wasn't demanding and he didn't sound angry I was surprise he could be nice. I carefully lift my hand and the name stared out for everyone to see, 'Haylie Potter.'
"Well I suppose I have some explaining to do don't I?" I said softly taking a step back and sitting on a chair near the table looking into my lap,
"Sara, I can tell them if you like." Draco said to me sitting on the arm of the chair. I shook my head, hoping that it concealed the shakes that were going through my whole body,
"The parchment is right. My real last name is Potter." I said quietly. There was a gasp from Hermione, and a soft 'Bloody Hell' from Ron but Harry said nothing. I looked up at his and then reached into my robes and pulled out the photo.
"This is us." I said handing the photo to him, he took it apprehensively and looked at the photo of the two babies lying beside one another in the sun wriggling slightly. He looked from the photo to me and said,
"But your hair." I pulled out my wand and pointed it to my head, and quietly whispered,
"Finite." And the blonde disappeared from my hair and it became black just like Harry's.
"Bloody Hell" Ron said under his breath.
