The Next morning Serenity woke up to the sounds of Blaise and Morag getting out of bed. She yawned and stretched, last nights events comming back to mind. She smiled as she pulled her hangings open.
"Morning, Serenity." Blaise called as she buttoned up her school blouse.
"Yeah, G'Morning!" Morag grinned at Serenity as she pulled up her skirt tucking her shirt in, "Best get up and get ready, we don't wanna miss Breakfast."
Serenity rolled her eyes as she climbed out of bed and made for their closet. She started to reach for her normal cloeths then remembered that she had to wear a Uniform. Silently growling she pulled out the grey skirt, white blouse, grey jumper, and Hogwarts robe. She snagged a pair of her Draggon hyde boots, deciding that the school shoes were too uncomfortable. She carried it to her bed and started to get dressed.
After fifteen minutes they were all dressesd and walking through the common room and up out of the dungeons toward the Great Hall. Morag and Blaise were debating what would happen in their classes today while Serenity only half listened. She was far from a morning person.
The three entered the Great Hall, which was loud with excited chatter, and made for the Slytherin table. Serenity followed her two friends down the table to where Draco Malfoy was sitting. Blaise took a seat beside the blonde boy while Morag sat across from her, leaving the seat across from Draco for Serenity.
Draco glanced up and smirked, "Well, we meet again."
"You two have met?" Blaise asked glancing up from putting jam on her toast.
"Yeah, he and the two brick walls that was with him, helped me find my way to the Headmaster's office. Thanks again by the way." Serenity smiled at Draco as she picked up a piece of toast and reach for the butter.
"No problem. Let me guess they placed you in Blaise and Morie's dorm?" He asked taking a bite of his own half buttered half jammed toast.
"Yep. I gotta say, the rooms here are a lot different fom my other school." Serenity commented as she put down the butter knife and started putting jam on the other half of her toast.
They were so buisy chatting that they didn't realise that Blaise and Morag were staring at them. The girls glanced at each other. These two had the same eating habits! And they thought Draco just had odd taists.
Serenity noted that the other two were being really quiet and turned to catch them staring. She frowned raising an eyebrow "What's wrong with you two?"
Draco glanced at the other two raiseing an eyebrow.
"Er- Sorry, we just realised you two have similar tasts." Blaise motioned to their toast. Draco and Serenity looked, then smirked.
"So we do. And here I thought I was he only one that ate it this way." Serenity grinned.
Draco chuckled shaking his head. "So, Serenity, what brings you to-"
"Hogwarts? Oh, that's a long story actually..." Serenity glanced down at her plate.
"Let me guess. It has to do with your brother?" Morag asked.
"Brother?" Draco asked curiously.
Serenity nodded, "Got it in one. I have a twin brother that was kidnapped when we were babies. I've been going from school to school hoping to find him or anyone that might know where he is or who took him." Serenity lied easily.
"How will you do that? Find him I mean. Couldn't they have placed a glamour on him?" Blasie asked frowning as she took a drink of her pumpkin juice.
Morag reach over and smacked Blaise in the back of the head. "Don't be daft! Don't you know that most magical twins share a special connection? She could probably sense him. So, Serenity, have you sensed anything yet?"
Serenity nodded, "He's here at Hogwarts. I felt him last night at dinner. I just don't know where. There is so much magic here it over rides my senses."
"Wow, As interesting as this is, we'd better be getting to class or we'll be late." Draco commented as he stood.
"Oh, right." Blaise commented as the girls stood as well.
They were just scouping up their school bags when a Prefect walked up behind Serenity and tapped her on the shoulder, "Serenity Kenaz? Professor Snape asked me to give you this. It's your class schedule." He shoved it into her hand and walked away.
"Er, thanks." She muttered to his back as she glanced down at the paper. Draco looked over her shoulder at her schedule.
"Your schedule is exactly like mine. Come on, Potions first and it's with the Gryfindorks." Draco lead the way out of the hall and down into the dungeons.
As they approached the classroom Serenity's eyes landed on three people she recognised. She smiled as they made their way to join the quau in front of the door.
"Well, if isn't Potty, Weasel, and Mudblood." Draco drawled as they approached.
Serenity frowned and wacked him upside the back of his head. "Grow up. Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione." She smiled nodding at the three of them.
Harry raised an eyebrow at the display. "Serenity, Good Morning. How was your night in the Snake Pit?" He asked smiling at the odd girl.
"Oh, it was all right. Nothing like Beauxbatons, but then again, no two schools are the same. I should know I've been to a dozen of them." She answered smiling.
"Serenity, being that your from another school, I'll overlook this little conversation, but here at Hogwarts Slytherins don't befriend Gryffindors. We insault them." Draco interupted generiously, glaring at the trio and lying a hand on her arm and placing himself between them.
She frowned at him, "Draco Malfoy, I can befriend whom ever I want. I don't give a damn about some stupid house rivalries. I'll have you know that my Grandfather was a Gryffindor. I may considder them a bit too impulsive, but I have absolutly nothing against them." She pulled her arm away, glaring at the inch taller boy.
Before Draco could say anything the professor came stalking down the hall flinging the classroom door open glaring at them all. Serenity just glared at him once more before sweeping past him and into the classroom. Draco followed her grumbling under his breath. Blaise and Morag blinked a few times, then followed snickering.
"Take your seats!" The dark, greasy haired professor ordered from the front of the room.
"That's Professor Snape. He's our head of House." Draco whispered, leaning over from his seat next to Serenity. Blaise and Morag raised their eyebrows at this. It was rather odd. Usually Draco sat with Pansy. They found it really odd that Draco was making such an effort to be near Serenity.
"Now, today we'll be learning about the Polyjuice potion. Does any one know what this Potion does?" Snape sneared at the class. Serenity raised her hand and glanced around to see whom else knew. Hermione's hand was up, as well as Harry's, and Ron's. Pansy's, a dark haired Slytherin boy's were as well.
"Miss Kenaz." Snape called on her.
Serenity grinned, this was one of her weakest subjects but she knew about this potion. "Polyjuice is used to give a person the apearence of another for aproximatly one hour and it is used for human transformations only."
"Correct. five points to Slytherin. Now, today we will be taking notes on the ingrediants for Polyjuice. This will be a month long assignment, in which we will actually be making the potion." He tapped the board and a list of ingrediants, their properties, and parts in the potion apeared, "Copy this down!" There was a scramble for parchment as students started taking notes.
Draco glanced over at her, "You must be really good at potions to know that."
"Nope. Actually, Potions is far from my best subject. I only know that because my grandfather once told me a story about his first experience with the potion. History and Charms are my specialties." she whispered back continuing to copy her notes.
"What happened?" Draco whispered back glancing at her before returning to his notes.
Serenity chuckled quietly, "They used it to spy on another student, him and his two best friends, or 'partners in crime' as he calls them. It was really hilarious."
Draco raised an eyebrow, "They did it while in school?"
"Yup. They were really lucky they didn't get caught. I swear, they would have been in SO much trouble. Apperantly they use to get into a lot of trouble anyway." She glanced up as Snape stood at the front of the class glaring them into silence.
"If your all finished, Your homework tonight is to study your notes and I want a 3 foot paper on the dangers of Polyjuice, due Wendsday. Dismissed." He sat back down at his desk as the students gathered their things and started out of the class.
"Hey, Harry, What class do you have next?" Serenity asked as she paused next to the Golden Trio whom were packing their things.
"Hmm? Oh, Herbology, What about you?" He asked as he straitened up waiting for Ron to finish packing up.
"We've got Charms, Right Draco?" She asked glancing at him as he stopped beside her, Blaise and Morag behind them.
"Right, and we'd better go, it's on the third floor." Draco answered takeing her wrist and leading her out of the room.
Blaise and Morag smirked at each other behind their backs, which only grew as they heard Draco practically growl when Serenity called goodbye to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. So Draco was going to be possesive of the new girl. This was defiantly a new development.
Later that day Serenity was taking a solitary walk around the grounds having a break from classes and Draco. The boy had been staying by her side all morning, it was a bit tiring. As she aproached the lake she noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione leaning against a tree at the lake's edge. She smiled and walked over.
"Hey, guys." She waved as she stopped beside them, "Mind if I join you?"
Ron opened his mouth to make a rude comment, but Harry cut him off, "Be our guest. So, finally lost your 'shadow'?"
Serenity laughed, "I take it you mean Draco. Yeah, I needed a little time by myself for a while. You know, to get use to the place a bit better. So, how was your day?" She dropped to the ground beside Harry looking out over the lake, watching the squid wave it's tentacles in the air.
"Amazingly peaceful." Harry commented.
"Yeah, I heard about your little 'adventures'. We didn't really get to talk before, with Professor McGonagall and all." Serenity grinned.
Harry blushed lightly, "Your right, Okay, so let's pick up where we left off. We know your a transfer from Beauxbatons, so What are you doing-"
"Here at Hogwarts?" She laughed, "Draco asked me the same thing. I'm looking for someone actually. For the last few years I've been transfering from school to school looking for my twin brother. he was kidnapped about three days after we were born. I'm hoping to find him or someone who knows where he is or who took him."
"Let me guess, your trying to sense him? After all, they might have used a Glamour." Hermione inserted curious.
"Yup. I know he's here at Hogwarts. I just don't know exactly where. Theres too much magic that it's overpowering my senses." Serenity glanced down at the grass under her fingers.
"Sense him? You can sense someone's magic?" Ron asked confused.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Pardon him, he never picks up a book." She sighed, "Magical Twins can usually sense each other's magic and presance. You should know this! You have Twin Brothers!"
"Well, excuse me if I don't quiz Fred and George on every detail of their lives!" Ron sulked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
Serenity laughed, these two were just as she remembered her Grandpa telling her, always fighting. So far her experience at Hogwarts was everything he told her it was and more. She was enjoying every minute of it.
Harry ignored his fighting friends, "So, Serenity, Play Quiditch?"
Serenity grinned, she loved Quiditch! "Of course, doesn't everyone? I can play any position, but I'm best as a Chaser, I heard your a Seeker."
"Yup, since my first year. Wanna head over to the Pitch for a one on one game? It'll be a while before these two finish and realise were gone." He pointed at the still fighting Ron and Hermione.
She laughed and nodded, "Let's go." They stood and headed across the grounds toward the huge pitch. Harry whent inside the Gryffindor locker room to retrieve his broom and she pulled hers from her charm braclette and returned it to it's normal size.
Harry came out a few minutes later with a couple of balls and his broom. "So what'll it be? Quaffle or Snitch?" He held up the two balls.
"Ummm... How about Quaffle first? We can play with the Snitch after." Serenity nodded mounting her broom.
"Good idea." He noticed her broom, "Nice broom, I've never seen one like that before."
Serenity grinned, "It's called a LighteningStrike. It's only a prototype, not out on the market yet. My Father owns the company that makes them. Now, lets fly!" She lifted into the air. Hey, it wasn't a tottal lie. The LighteningStrike brand is only a prototype right now, she just forgot to mention that her's was a LighteningStrike 3000, three versions after the current model and her dad does own the company. He bought the rights years ago, when the LighteningStrike 1600, the second model, came out.
Harry grinned and rose into the air with her, He threw the Quaffle as hard as he could down the feild, counted to five then they toar after it. Serenity snatched it up and doubled back toward the other goals to score. This was great! Flying had always been something her family was good at. Almost all of them felt at home on a broom. She grinned as the game contined, this was like her and her Grandpa's games back home. She almost always won.
They played for a few more minutes before Harry gave up realising he wasn't going to beat her at playing Chaser, so he gave in and pulled out the Snitch. They had been flying around looking for it for about fifteen minutes when Serenity spotted it. She turned her broom and zoomed after it, Harry right on her tail. She may have had the faster broom, but Harry had the most skill and he caught it by throwing his broom into a spin when he realised it had been going in the same direction for too long.
"Damn. I always loose like that!" She pouted as Harry pulled out of his spin grinning. "How did you know to do that?"
Harry laughed as they landed, "Simple. It was going in the same direction for too long. I spun so I had a chance of catching it no matter which direction it whent."
"Oh. Still sucks though. No wonder I always loose the Snitch to my Grandpa. I'm no Seeker." Serenity climbed off her broom shrinking it, she reatached it to her charm bracelett along with her old wand, trunk, money bag, Serendon's trunk, and his broom. Their dad had comitioned two personalised LighteningStrike 3000s for them before they hit the stores. Each broom had their names in silver lettering on the handle above the 'LS 3000' Insignia.
They turned toward the locker room so Harry could put his Firebolt up laughing and talking about their game.
"Serenity!"
She turned and saw Draco, Blaise, and Morag making their way toward them. She turned to Harry, "Thanks for the Great game! I'll see you at dinner." She turned and quickly made her way over to her other friends as they made their way back into the school for the last class of the day, Divinition.
"Serenity! What were you and Potter doing?" Draco demanded for the fiftieth time as they waited for the door to the classroom to open.
"Goddess, Draco! Will you stop repeating my name! Sheesh... And it's none of your buisness what Harry and I were doing! You sound like my Mother!" She glared at him as the ladder dropped and everyone started climbing up into the misty room.
She took a seat as close to a window toward the back of the class as she could. When she knew the teacher wasn't there, she cracked it open so there was at least a little fresh air in the room. Draco dropped his bag on the floor by the table and pulled up the beanbag chair next to hers. Blaise and Morag took the table in front of them trading curious glances over Draco's behavior. It was odd. Both Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy seamed to really want to be near her, yet Draco was the only one acting possesive. They knew Draco was a spoiled only child, but this was rediculous.
Blaise leaned closer to Morag and whispered, "You know... Draco's almost acting as though he were her father or something."
"I know, odd isn't it? I mean, really, usually he's got Pansy hanging all over him, but now he's hanging all over Serenity. Talk about a major switch." Morag whispered back shrugging.
"I know." Blaise turned toward Serenity, "Hey, Serenity, did you say you were a Pureblood?"
Serenity frowned leaning forward ignoring the odd teacher that was talking at the front of the room, "Yeah, I am, why?"
Blaise shrugged, "Just wandering. Morie and I were comparing the number of Muggleborns, halfbloods, and purebloods." she lied smileing and turned back around whispering to Morag, "Maybe they are related, after all, almost all pureblood families are inter-related."
"Maybe, but I don't think thats just it. I mean think about it, she doesn't really seam to mind too much, she just pretends too. Think they've got crushes on each other?" Morag whispered grinning evilly.
"Possibly." Blaise smirked back.
"I don't like the way those two are grinning." Serenity whispered to Draco as she followed Professor Trelawney's instructions, and shaking the bag of runes in her hands.
Draco nodded, "I agree, they are being too secretive." He pulled three stones from his bag and lay them out on the table in front of him as Serenity did the same.
"Uhg! I hate Divinition! It's such a waist of time!" Serenity complained quietly looking over her stones then pulling her book of runes closer to look up their meanings.
"Tell me about it." Draco reach for his book and stopped as his eyes landed on her runes.
"Lets see.. It says here my are the runes for... Finding whats lost, Twins, and Family... Goddess! Who'd ever expect that?" She mock gasped before turning to Draco, "What do yours mean?"
"Hmmm... Seperation, Joy, Wholeness. That's odd..." He looked up at her. Serenity was frowning.
"Well, I always said this divinition stuff was a load of crap. So it doesn't mean anything to you?" She leaned back in her poof.
"Nope. Hey, Bini, take a look at this." He crossed his arms leaning back as well.
Blaise turned around and examined their readings. Her eyes widened as she read them together. "Well, Serenity, your is about finding your twin and his re-joining your family. Draco yours is about you being seperated from something or someone, the joy of finding them and in the end feeling whole." She shook her head, "If I didn't know any better I'd swear your readings were connected... though I don't see how that could be..." She shrugged turning back around as Trelawney approached them.
"Now, lets see what you two have here..." Trelawney said in her misty voice, "Ah! These two readings are definatly related... and in that... have you two been looking for each other? It apears you indeed found each other." She nodded pleased as she walked off.
"Fruitcake." Both Serenity and Draco muttered at the same time before grinning at each other.
When the bell rang for the end of class all the Slytherins darted down the ladder for the Great Hall and dinner.
:H:H:H:H:H:
GML: That's it for this chap:grin: I just whent back and counted all the clues I've dropped so far! lol! After this chap, if you all can't guess who her twin is, then I'm better at this mystery stuff then I thought!
Draco: You just wish you were! I already know who the twin is. :smirk:
GML:glare: Well, if you think you do, keep it to yourself! I whant the readers to get it!
Harry: Your really enjoying this arent you?
GML:grin: Yup! It's amusing to me! Just imagine how hard it is to drop good clues without giving too much away! Hell, I thought I'd over done it in chapter 3!
Harry: Oh! You mean when you- Mmph!
GML:covers his mouth: Don't tell them where the clue is! That's cheating!
Snape:sigh: Will you just end this already?
GML:sniff: If you insist. REVIEW! And tell me if you've found a clue or if you have a guess!
