~OK so here is the disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor do I own
Draco, Hogwarts, or Ginny. So does that make you happy by destroying my
hopes and dreams? Ah ,well, I forgive you, but I do own Brittany and Kat,
Draco and Ginny's personality. So there! *Sticks out her tongue.* Oh
yeah one more thing when this ~ shows up that means it is an author's note.

**Draco's POV **
I closed my eyes. When I opened them, the Death Eaters' eyes were all on me. Their hoods were down and they just stared at me. What have I done? Father's eyes look murderous and Voldemort is smirking at me his wand is still in the middle of my forehead. Then I heard a slimy, greasy, menacing voice say the most horrible thing. "So you 'love' ", he said "love" in a mocking tone, "a mudblood do you?" My eyes widen in shock.
"Did I say that? Please, I, love a mudblood? Ha!" I gave a nervous laugh and looked around the group. There are Crabble, Golye, and their fathers of course, the Parkersons-minus Pansy, mother, the Davis, the Greens, the Howes and so on. "Well, still lying are we boy? Well, you will be punished." With that, my ceremony took a severe turn. "We know how to treat liars to the Dark Lord do we not, Death Eaters?" Voldemort asked. I heard murmurs of "yes", "punishment", and "severe". All the Death Eaters took out their wands and pointed them at me. Father was the first to say it. "Crucio" and then all of them joined in.
~Author's POV~ Just when Voldemort put the truth spell on Draco. A.k.a. 15 minutes before. "Now, boy, for once in your pathetic life tell the truth, why are you having doubts about joining the Death Eaters?" Voldemort questioned. "I am having doubts because I do not want to hurt the one I love," Draco said in a deadpan zombie-like voice his hair falling over his eyes. "Who do you love, boy?" Voldemort asked. "Someone I shouldn't...a mudblood..." with that Draco started to snap out of his trance.
**Brittany's POV**
As I walked down the step something caught my eye, family pictures. There was one of the family when we were pictures of us hunting, fishing, and going to reunions. It made me glad to have a close-knit family. Every time I see a bag of ice I remember when I decided to prank my older brother, Jay. My cousin, Asia, and I put ice on his back and syrup on his pillow it was so funny. As I stepped off the last step I heard "mom" and "dad" talking. "Are you sure Angie? Should we really tell her the truth?" I heard "dad" say. "Yes; Calvin, we should tell her we can't just keep this secret from her for all her life, can we? She should at least be prepared for him. He will probably want to be the only one. You know him, Calvin." "Yes, Angie, but remember we promised her mom that we'd protect her remember what he did to her!" Calvin Harrison yelled.
I heard "mom" trying to calm him down. Why were they arguing and who is it about? I feel sorry for whoever it was or is. (~Ironic isn't it~) I cleared my throat, entered the room, and acted as if I did not know what happened.
"Oh hi Brittany I didn't know you were there," "Mom" said. "Yeah hi there kiddo." "Dad" said turning from "Mom" and addressing me. "Hi, so what did you want to talk to me about?"
" Well I just wanted to know how you're doing that's all." "Mom'" said smiling a fake smile. "Mom you can drop the act what did you what to tell me?" I said, "We're not acting". Calvin insisted.
"Oh come off it you guys! I heard you now who were you talking about?" I went and sat on the couch facing them. I crossed my legs my sweat pants making noise as I did that. "But we don-" "Come off it Calvin we should just get this over with should I tell or would you like to?" Angie questioned. "You" Calvin mumbled as he sat next to me on the couch.
~Author's POV. Don't ya love these? ~ Very long, I personally think it's boring, it just explains what happened~
Angela began to tell the story of Brittany's past. "Well Brittany we were talking about you as you well know. It all started when four friends decided to make a school... You know the story about the founders of Hogwarts right?" Angela asked. Brittany just nodded dumbly. "So, well, Salazar Slytherin left when a falling out occurred between the other friends. Salazar went to Muggle Alaska. In that place, he started to build his own school with other pureblooded wizards. After he finished the school, he needed to recruit pureblooded students. So he went to different places to find the students, in those days they had to, because owls were scarce and you needed permits to have them. One day Salazar went to Africa to find more pureblood students when he met and fell in love with your great, great, great and so on grandmother, Magnolia. Oh, they were very happy, got married, and were expecting a child when Salazar found out she was a muggleborn. He found out by a horrible friend he had. Fearing that Magnolia and their child would have to be killed. He broke up with her, and went back the school he started in Alaska. He was then followed closely by the friend. In exchange for Magnolia and their child's safety, Salazar agreed to marry the horrible friend. When Magnolia found out that Salazar had been remarried, she quickly married a muggle that she knew just to show Salazar that she had gotten over him. Years and years passed and Magnolia and Salazar's time expired at the ripe age of 95. Both had children and grandchildren-by different partners and the children and grandchildren never found out about each other. Until that is the horrible friend's great, great, and so on grandchild found out, he was furious. That grandchild wanted revenge so he started to search for the other heirs of Salazar Slytherin. For he wanted to be an original. By this time, the enraged grandchild was a very powerful, evil young man. The man's name was Thomas Marvolo Riddle. Yes the Tom Riddle, you -know -who." Angela paused for a minute to give what she just said a dramatic ending.
She looked up a Calvin to continue the story. Before Calvin started though he looked down at Brittany, she was staring off in space and looked as though she was about to cry. ~Hey what can I say she is very emotional? ~
She looked at Calvin and said in a weak but strong sounding voice. "It's ok please continue" she gave a small encouraging smile and Calvin continued where Angela had left off. "Well, like Angie left off you-know-who found out where the remaining heir was. I still remember when Kay said she thought someone was following her. She was so paranoid, remember Angie how teased her and-" "Calvin, I think you should finish the story." Angela interrupted. "Oh, yeah, another time. By that time you were about three years old and still in your terrible two's, she had us make a promise. 'Take you in and treat you just like you were our child' she begged, we didn't think you would have powers because your family was known to have one generation of squibs." Calvin took a break to rub his eyes, which had
just started to water. "She dropped you off and.... She said goodbye ...then" Calvin looked at Brittany and turned his head quickly. Tears were running down his cheeks "...then the ...next day she was gone." "Gone w......wh... Wha...what ha...happened?" Brittany asked laying a hand on Calvin's shoulder. With his head still turned he said, he didn't know he just said "She went missing and that's it. That was the last time we saw her alive. But she loved you very, very much." Brittany looked at Angela and Calvin, Angela was the only her mom she knew. The only mom she has ever known the only parents who were there for her when she needed them. To think that strangers raised her for twelve of her fifteen years on the earth. "Do you think she went into hiding and that's why she went missing?" Brittany asked hopefully. "No sweetie. We thought about that when we told the Ministry of Magic about your mother, they started a search for her they found clues that she was led to you-know-who. They were doubtful that she was still alive. Maybe she might be alive but I don't what to get your hopes up. She said if anything ever happened that took her out of contact with us, we were to do everything we could to stop you-know-who from harming you. We tried but its hard now without you knowing. You're getting older and looking more and more like her. So we decided to tell you so we can start setting up protective layers on the house and informing Professor Dumbledore about your situation." Angela stated.
"So you're not muggles?" Brittany questioned. Both Calvin and Angela shook their heads. "No sweetie that was just an act, we went to Hogwarts with your mom." Angela said. "Are you ok Brittany?" Calvin asked "Um yeah I.....just", she looked at her hand, the note from Ginny was still there.
**Brittany's POV**
I don't know, should I ask them now? "Can ...Can I stay at Ginny's house for the rest of the summer? I mean ...I... its just that well, Ginny sent this letter," I held my hand up show them. "And I wasn't planning anything over the summer but now I...I'm sorry that was a stupid thing to ask." The minute I asked that question I felt stupid. "Well Ginny has asked you did she", Calvin said sounding very harsh. I just nodded. "And Ginny is a Weasley right?" Angela asked she was sounding equally as harsh as Calvin. "Yeah...um she's really nice," I said hoping that they haven't heard of Fred and George Weasley. "Well then if she's a Weasley, nice, and her brothers are Fred and George ", guess they heard, "then you can go". Calvin said with a smile, I look at them. Oh my... gosh! I think I just went deaf did I hear that? "Well aren't you going to give us a hug?" Angela asked. "But you -know-who and protecting me" I said seriously is disbelieving what I just heard. "Well the Weasleys' are a family of wizards and well we think you'll be protected" Calvin stated. "And Molly owled us earlier when Ginny told her that she used Errol to send you that letter." "Oh so where will you guys be while I'm gone will you be safe?" I ask. Hey, I don't care what they told me as far as I'm concerned they're my still parents. "Yes we will be safe we'll be in the American Ministry of Magic. That's where we work. Really, I always thought you worked at DOW?" I said that with a grin.
~~~Author's note: DOW is a chemical plant near where I live. So ok anyway I hope your still with me. I know this chapter is so boring, but this needed to be explained before she left for Ginny's house. Ok so Draco's POV will be when they are at Platform 9 3/4 you will understand don't worry my story has a purpose just stick with me. Ok now on to bigger things I really do not know who should be with whom. I was thinking Brittany and Draco, but when I was writing Kat's part it just seemed that she should be with Draco. Anyway, please review me with your answers or questions, but since ff.net is revamped as well I guess that's not allowed. I'll decide for my self. ~~~
*** Three days later***
I do not know where she is, I thought she said Queens wood Drive and house number 1389. But did I hear wrong oh crap those muggle electronic owls what were they called again? C-phongs? That is the last time I use something like that and the last time I ever listen to Penelope. "Wow Harry look at her!" Ron my older brother said from the front seat of our family car. Harry was in the passenger's side. I was of course in the back. From the words of my brother; "We don't want my sister in the front seat with us when we go cruising for chicks you'll cramp our style." All I did was raise my eyebrows at them they must be joking but they weren't. Then Ron added "oh and your going bring in her luggage because I'm not getting to get all sweaty for one your little friends. "For heavens sakes Ron she's our guest." I argued from the back seat.
Of course, he was looking at a muggle who was walking on the sidewalk and didn't answer me. But that was an hour ago and now I think we're lost. Leave it to my brother to checkout a girl in the time of a crisis. "Well, well, well maybe we could ditch Brittany and pick her up." Harry said as he nudged Ron's shoulder and gave a wink. "Ha, ha very funny Harry." I don't have as big as a crust on him when he acts like this.
Then I stared at her. Hmm she looks familiar.
