Author's Note: PLEASE READ THIS B4 U START THE CHAPTER! Ok, this is a weird chapter. Kind of like a prologue only in the middle. This chapter is going to help tie some of the loose ends. (Kind of like the 5th book in the series). See, many of you were confused, but I kind of write like Charles Dickens. He's my hero! You will discover a whole lot in this chapter. Oh, umm...this chapter takes place like a month after school starts. Before the whole Hermione and Draco thing. Ok, look out for chapter 6!!! Read and Review!! PS. Sry these chapters are taking so long. I'm in honors classes in school and they give a lot of homework!! R/R!!!

Chapter 5: The Midlogue (like it? I made it up...lol)

Harry and Kerrie were sitting by the fire in the Gryffindor common room looking through a photo album.

"Our mom's must have been really close. Look at all of these pictures." Kerrie said as she looked through the album. "Oh, look, that's you!" She smiled as she admired Harry's baby picture.

Harry chuckled. "No scar. And look, you're talking to me! I never knew why you could talk to well."

"Yea, well I think because every witch or wizard can show different signs when they're younger, mine was the ability to talk. I think yours was how you handled your anger." They both chuckled at this. Then Kerrie turned the page.

"Oh my G—" Harry cut himself short. It was a picture of Kerrie's mom, Annie, and... "Sirius."

"Huh?"

"Err, nothing. It's just Sirius...my...my...godfather." Kerrie looked over and saw the picture of Sirius with his arm around Annie.

"Sirius," she mouthed to herself. "Sirius!" She said aloud again. "Is that Latin for dog?"

"Erm," Harry thought for a moment. "Yea, I think so...?"

"Sirius is my father!"

"What?" Harry snapped snobbishly. "No he's not."

"Well, yea. My mom fancied him. Or at least that's what Becky told me."

FLASHBACK

"I didn't! Look!" she showed them the letter. Joe stopped immediately. "I just thought this might have something to do with Mom. Do you know anything about it? Is this where Mom went to school? How come I've never heard of it?" She looked around, desperate for answers.

"You know sweetie, I really don't know. Your mother moved here when she was pregnant with you. She said she was here just to look after a friend. Lily...uh...Lily...um..."

"Lily Potter."

"Right, thanks Joe. Lily Potter. Apparently they had both been pregnant at the same time. So they wanted to be mothers together. When both you and that boy, that boy. What was his name? Any who, when you and he were both one...it happened. I don't know what, but something happened that killed Lily and her husband, James. A murderer I think it was. Well, your mother was pissed. She went after some guy named Black, rather cute he was, yelling about some secret keeper. Any who, that's all we know about your mother. And the fact that we used to hang out a lot and play basketball. She was really good."

"But don't forget that boyfriend of hers." Joe piped in. "He was horrible. As mean as can be. He's your father. His name is Luke. Now that I think about it, I think he did say something about sending you to Hogwarts!"

"I remember too! He said because she needs to learn about her—" She caught herself in realization.

"Oh my gosh! You guys have been hiding this from me for 15 years?"

"I guess we never thought about it." Kerrie answered.

"My mom said it was all just a fairy tale. She would tell me all these stories before I would go to sleep. My favorite one was when Lily's boyfriend had used magic to pull Snape's pants down in school. She always talked about this black dog. Well, his name means dog, I think. I think she fancied him. She told me if I ever needed a father, I should just go to him...I really want to go to this school.

End of Flashback

"So, when my parents had to go into hiding, you're mom was there for them? She knows the truth right? I mean, she knows that Sirius didn't kill my parents."

"I don't know."

"And what about your father, Luke...I mean Lucious. Didn't he...?"

"Yea, he did." Kerrie said. I remember their last argument. Well, before it happened."

FLASHBACK

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY! THE DARK LORD WILL GET YOU FOR THIS! HE'LL KILL YOU AND YOUR STUPID MUGGLE DAUGHTER!"

"She's your daughter too! How could you say that?" she said lamenting.

"I DON'T CARE! YOU TWO DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE! YOU SET US UP!! WHY? YOU ALMOST GOT US CAUGHT!"

"Luke, Lily's my friend. Plus, you're in the Muggle world. You risked getting caught from the start," she said, hysterical now.

End of Flashback

"Wait," Harry said, "Your mom set them up? I don't get it."

"Well," she giggled. "I don't get it either, but I think that when Peter told Voldemort where they were staying, my mom just told Luke to tell Him to ignore the prophecy. That it wasn't true. It was all a fraud."

"Hmm," Harry thought.

"My mom is still missing, though. I just wish I knew where she was. It's hard on me, you know?"

"Yea, and what about Malfoy?"

"What about him?"

"Well, when did he become so protective of you? I mean, you two only just met. So when did you two get so close?"

"Oh!" Kerrie smiled. "That's easy. It was two days after we first met..."

FLASHBACK

"Really," he said with a glint in his eye. Kerrie recognized who he was, and he the same with her. "Well Draco, "he said astonished that he was meeting his now all grown up daughter. "Let's go." They departed in silence.

Once they got out of Kerrie's earshot, Draco started asking questions. "Dad, she's my sister?"

"You must not mention a word of this to your mother. You hear me?!" He added threateningly. Lucious grasped Draco's arm violently. "Your mother must never find out about this girl."

"But Father, how come she's not living with us? Why isn't...why can't Mum know? Does she have a different...?"

"Silence boy!" He snarled, but drew out his "s" so he sounded like a snake. "There will be no more discussion of this." At that, he walked ahead leaving Draco lost and confused. He knew he had to find out more about Kerrie, but he couldn't let his father know. So, one day when his he went to a Death Eaters meeting, Draco invited Kerrie over his mansion. It was a few weeks before term started, so he had time.

Draco was sitting by the fireplace when his house elf showed a very frightened Kerrie in. "Hey sis," Draco said abnormally plain as he turned in his grand chair.

"Um," Kerrie asked. Unsure of what she was doing. Usually she was pretty brave. "Why...why am I here?"

Draco chuckled. "I'm sorry. My dad's the evil one, not me. I am just confused as to how we ended up related. My dad was too proud to tell me, and you seem too kind to be a Malfoy."

"Oh," Kerrie sat down in the chair closest to the fire. "Well, I'm not sure. According to the stories, your dad raped my mom."

Draco laughed so hard, that Kerrie jumped. "My...dad...wouldn't...rape anybody," He said between chortles.

"Are you sure about that?" She responded in a feisty manner. "Your dad looks like he could...I can't even explain it."

"Well, I guess you're right." Draco said staring deep into the fire. He wanted to say something, but was afraid to bring it up. "Kerrie, um...you and I are about the same age. We can't be more than eight months apart."

"Yea? So...?"

"So, that means that something had to have happened between him and my mum between the time she got pregnant until the time she had me."

"Oh, you're right! Like he had an affair or something!"

"A what?" Draco asked not knowing what an affair was.

"Your dad committed adultery!" Just as those last few words came out, Narcissa Malfoy walked in, completely taken aback they had a guest.

"Oh Draco, darling," she said with that infamous look of disgust on her face. "Honey, why didn't you tell me we were having a guest? Coming? Today? And such a pretty one too." She said looking into Kerrie's deep green eyes.

"Hi," Kerrie said, challenging her by offering her hand. "My name is...erm, Kerrie M—."

"Magdalene!" Draco screeched. He didn't want to get his dad in trouble. "Kerrie Magdalene."

"Yea," Kerrie said catching on. "I'm a friend from school."

"Astonishing," Narcissa replied completely bored and not afraid to hide it. "Tea will be served at precisely four o'clock sharp." She turned on her heel.

"Wait! Erm, Mum?"

"What is it," she snapped then remembering there was a guest added, "Sunshine of my life?" through gritted teeth.

"Was there ever a time...a time...when...?" Becoming impatient of her son, she just walked away.

"Does she always do that? And why didn't you ask? You're such a chicken."

"I've never talked to my mum about anything like this...she might suspect something."

"Your family doesn't talk? Wow," she giggled. "No wonder your family is so substandard. So who are you going to ask then?"

"My faithful elf, Walter." He answered proudly. Then he screamed in the upstairs direction: "WALTER! WALTER!"

"Coming, Master!" Kerrie marveled at this, knowing very well that if she were to do the same thing at her house, she'd get whacked in a second. "Yes, Master?"

"Sit down, Walter."

"Oh, Master! Master!" He started to cry. "Walter can not, sir. Walter is very obliged though, sir."

"Why not, Walter?" Kerrie asked, surprised having never seen one of these creatures before.

"Walter is frightened, miss, of Walter's other masters." He started to play with his terrycloth. "Walter is sorry, sir. Walter has failed Master!" He began to sob in his pillowcase type outfit.

"Walter, it's ok. I have to ask you about my parents. You have been here longer than Dobby, am I right? Yes sir, and longer than Kreacher, sir. If Walter may be bold, sir, Kreacher isn't very nice, sir."

"It's ok. Now, before I was born, did Mum and Dad have a fight?"

"Oh, yes sir! It was awful sir! But I don't think I could tell you sir...because of the miss, sir."

"Ok, Kerrie, would you mind standing out in the hallway?" He sounded really concerned; he didn't want to send his sister out.

"Sure, no problem." She was ok with it though. Kerrie wanted to look around.

She wandered out into the hallway, and stumbled along a staircase. It seemed to appear out of nowhere. There also seemed to be a door that disintegrated right in front of her. She opened it and walked inside. There were people talking. "We have succeeded. Our plan is almost complete! You have gotten rid of this boy's last real relative, right Bella?"

"Yes, Master. My cousin will no longer be showing his face on this Earth." A middle aged, wiry woman responded. She had such pale skin; it seemed to almost have an eerie glow.

"And you Lucious? Have you devised a plan to capture the boy?"

"No...no, Master not yet. But it is in the making,"

The man, apparently the leader of the group looked down his flat, snake like nose...and said with an icy glare, "I trusted you to do as I told you. You have failed; do you know what this means?" He pulled out a long thin wooden stick, and Kerrie recognized it immediately as a wand. She gasped as he began a spell. "Accio girl!"

Out of nowhere, Kerrie felt as if someone had put a magnet inside her and pulled her inside. Then, all eyes were on her. "It appears we have a visitor. Lucious, do you know who this girl is?"

Lucious pursed his lips regretting that she somehow ended up in this household. "Yes, Master. She is my daughter."

"Oh, you have a daughter as well?"

"Someone's been a busy bee," the one named Bella taunted.

Meanwhile, Kerrie was struggling in this man's grip. "Let go of me!"

"Feisty little one isn't she?" He chuckled. "You know not who you speak to, little girl!"

"As far as I'm concerned, you're a bully and a murderer! Now let go of me!" She stomped on his foot and began to run away, but everyone in the cult seemed to block her.

"Lucious, it seems you have forgotten to teach her manners. But fear not, I will teach her for you. Hmm, I'll be gentle on you this time, but every time you make a mistake, you'll get another zap. Ok?" He sounded like one of her school professors. She began to get extremely frightened. "Crucio!"

"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!" She started to cry, her vision was blurred, and she couldn't see a thing. Kerrie had never felt so much pain in her life, even with her menstrual cramps. And then, it was over. She also noticed she somehow ended up on the ground, and everyone was laughing at her.

"I am ashamed of you, Lucious. You've raised a muggle." The leader spit on Kerrie. "Now get up! Get up I say!" When Kerrie just looked him in the eye and spit back, he got very angry. "You have done wrong girl. You will regret it. CRU—!"

"IMPEDIMENTA!" The next things after that happened all so very fast, it was a blur. After the spell was yelled, someone with silvery blonde hair grabbed her arm and tried to get her out. But someone else, (a bunch of someone's) grabbed her as well. Several spells were being shouted all at once, and then finally, it was all done. Kerrie found herself sitting on Draco's bed somewhere on the 5th floor. She looked over and saw Draco next to her, breathing heavily.

"I am so sorry." Kerrie apologized, but he shook it off.

Between gasps of air, he said: "No...I am." And he really looked it. He was in big trouble, and they all knew it.

End of Flashback

"Draco saved your life?!" Harry said, aghast. "He did all those things for you? And you never told me?"

"You never asked."

"So that's why you two are so close? God! You walked in on a Death Eaters meeting! You spit on Voldemort!"

"He spit first!" She said defensively. "Golly." They both laughed. Just then, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny walked in.

Ginny saw them sitting next to each other and rolled her eyes. "You two have been up here for nearly 3 hours! Why don't you just save us all the agony and GET A DAMN ROOM!?"

Everyone gawked for the next two minutes as she rolled her eyes again and made a scene going up the stairs. "Menstrual, that one is." Ron said, and sat next to Harry. Hermione sat next to Kerrie.

"Why does she hate me so much? What did I do to her?"

"Oh, don't you know?" Hermione said casually. "She fancies Harry. She has for the longest time. I guess she just feels you're in her territory." Harry blushed at this, and Kerrie looked surprised. But, they all laughed it off.
