Wow! I've got a lot of reviews, most of them with interesting points. Keep reviewing! Thank you:

ViviBlack: Thank you, interesting points. Please continue reviewing, it's very inspiring!

Akalei: Thanks! I like the name too, that's why I named her Tamara... I've read parts of your story, will review it when I've finished reading it (but it's great so far).

Jason – I agree, at least a little.

Lily and James Potter – Thanks!

Pussin boots – I know that there weren't many details in the first chapters, that's only because she's lonely and invisible too her fellow students. Stuff will happen to her in the future chapters.

Mikomi-mad – I'm doing my best, maybe you've noticed that the last chapters are less rushed than the first ones, or at least I feel that way. About ideas, I still want them!

Picky – Probably I won't wait for the sixth book, if I get an interesting idea. Why don't you propose one yourself?

Writergurl – I'd really like to write more about Draco, too, but I haven't really found a place where he fits in this story yet. Probably you'll se more of him from now.

Beth – Of course I'm going to get her into more adventures, I just wanted her to be a little older. I feel that the previous chapters were more like a background story, a little of how her life and personality is. The main story kind of begins in this chapter.

Brittany-Granger – Well, here's the next chapter.

ME :) :) – Er... okay, you'll probably see in the future chapters that everyone will look upon her differently. Details are on their way, like I wrote previously her real "adventures" are beginning in her fourth year.

Sorry if I missed someone, reviews may be coming in while I'm writing this, but then I'll mention you in the next chapter.

Anyway, here's chapter 3 – Beginning my fourth year

Well, September 1st finally arrived, and it was time to leave Malfoy Manor. I began to find it pretty boring just to sit in my room, drawing, so I felt that Hogwarts would be a nice change. The earlier years I had been able to get my own coupe, but this year we arrived pretty late and most of the seats were already taken. Finally, I decided to ask if I could sit with a girl named Luna Lovegood. She was in the same year as me, but in Ravenclaw. I opened the door.

"Er... excuse me. Do you mind if I sit her?"

I was on the point of adding "it's full everywhere" but came to the conclusion that it would make a bad impression, like I only chose to sit with her because there were no other seats free.

She looked up for a moment, and hesitated. Then she shrugged her shoulders and returned to the newspaper which she was reading. By the way, she was reading it upside down. I took a seat opposite her. Thought I should say something, but didn't know what. Maybe I could have introduced myself, but she didn't look too interested in having a conversation. She looked really weird. Her hair was long, blond and straggling and she had very light, almost invisible, eye brushes and protruding eyes. In addition, she had her wand behind her left ear and wore a necklace made by butter bear corks.

"I'm Tamara." I finally said, bored by sitting all quiet.

"Luna." She said, without looking up.

The door was opened and Ginny Weasly came in. Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom (Gryffindor, fifth year) appeared behind her.

"Hi!" She said. "Is it okay if we take these seats?"

I hesitated, looking at Luna. Slowly she looked up. Her scrutinizing look went past Ginny and Neville and stopped at Harry. She nodded.

"Thanks.", said Ginny.

The trio entered. I smiled nervously and wondered where Ron and Hermione were.

"Had a good summer?" Ginny asked.

I didn't know who the question was meant for. I had become so shy, that I didn't dare to answer the question.

Just answer the question! It can't be that hard. Ginny asked! She wants to know, she's interested. But... there's not much to say... c'mon, say something. Anything...

But Luna was faster.

"Yes..." Luna said, dreamily without taking her eyes of Harry. "Yes, it was quite enjoyable, you know. You're Harry Potter."

"I know I am." Harry said.

Luna looked at Neville instead.

"And I don't know who you are." She said.

"I'm nobody." Neville said quickly.

"No you're not!!" Ginny said sharply. "Neville Longbottom – Luna Lovegood. Luna is in my year, but in Ravenclaw. And this," she added, pointing towards me, "is Tamara M..."

Don't! Don't! Don't! Especially not in front of Harry Potter... Harry and Draco hated each other. Don't tell him I'm a Malfoy...

I must have looked terrified when she said that M, because Ginny never told them my last name.

"Tamara." She said simply instead.

"You're in Gryffindor too, aren't you?" Neville said.

"Er... right" was everything that came out of my mouth.

C'mon, here's your chance! Say something, say something, say something...

"Fourth year." I said weekly.

"I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but aren't you..." Harry said suddenly.

I know what he was going to say. I looked very much like Draco, and father as well. We all had the same blond hair, the same features, but my eyes were light blue. In fact, I would have been surprised if he hadn't noticed, because he had been staring at me.

"Are you worried about the OWLs?" Ginny interrupted.

That girl is the nicest human being on earth, I swear.

"Not yet." Harry said curiously.

"I'm wondering who's going to be our new Defence against Dark Arts professor." Ginny said, obviously trying to begin a conversation that wasn't about me. I didn't understand why she was trying so hard not to reveal who I was.

"I have no idea." Neville said.

And it was quiet.

"Guess what I got for my birthday!" Neville said suddenly.

"Another Rememberall?" Harry guessed.

"No" Neville said, "but I'd surely need one. No, look at this."

It was a Mimbulus mimbletonia, a plant. Of course, that lout Neville, couldn't handle the plant properly. He did something, never saw exactly what it was, but some kind of liquid came out of it and covered the whole coupe. God, it stank like... I don't know what. Neville was shocked and very regretful.

While we were still covered in that... liquid (Neville called it stinksap), the door was opened. It was Cho Chang, two years older than me, seeker in Rawenclaw's quidditch team. I think Harry had a crush on her, because he blushed really much, and I think I heard something about Harry trying to invite Cho to the Yule Ball last year. Well, I understand him. She's a pretty girl, though rather... I don't know. Superficial, maybe. Anyway, when se had left, Ginny said:

"Scourgify!"

And all the liquid disappeared.

Ron and Hermione appeared with Pigwidgeon and Crookshanks when the food trolley had been there.

"There are two fifth-year prefects from each house. "Hemione said. "Boy and girl from each."

"And guess who's a Slytherin prefect?" Ron said.

"Malfoy?" Harry said.

That stupid name again. At first I stupidly thought that they meant me, but then I realized, that when you said Malfoy, you meant Draco.

"Course." Ron said bitterly.

"And that stupid cow Pansy Parkinson." Hermione added and started saying a lot of bad things about Pansy.

They started enumerating all the other prefects. When they were done, Ron suddenly looked at me, like he hadn't realized I was there until now.

"Hey! You're..."

"This is Tamara." Ginny said quickly while Ron continued staring at me. Well, everyone was staring at me right now, except for Luna, who was reading her newspaper, The quibbler upside down.

"You're Malfoy's sister!" Ron cried.

It all became so quiet. Everybody was staring at me, even Luna.

"But you said you're in Gryffindor!" Neville said.

"I am." I said weekly.

No one said a single word. It was so embarrassing, everyone staring at me. But they were not staring like they hated me. They looked more puzzled.

"Anyway..." Hermione said, "We prefects have to patrol the corridors sometimes."

They continued talking, but I felt that the spirit had changed. It felt like they didn't' know what to think about me. A while later, the door was opened again. It was Draco and Grabbe and Goyle. I felt the spirit in the coup change again. It became tense. Everyone was looking at Draco, but I saw that everyone was keeping an eye at me. I tried to hide behind my hair. I don't know if he saw me, but at least he didn't say anything. Well, he must have seen me, and recognized me even if I tried to hide. I mean, after all, he was my brother!

"What?" Harry said.

"Manners, Potter, or I will have to give you a detention." He said slowly. "You see, unlike you, I've been made a prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments."

"Yeah," Harry said, "but you, unlike me, are a git, so get out and leave us alone."

I looked up and caught Draco's eye. He was looking right at me. Something gleamed inside his eye.

"Tell me, how does it feel being second-best to Weasly, Potter?" he asked.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Hermione said sharply.

"I seem to have touched a nerve." He said, smirking. "Well, just watch yourself, Potter, because I'll be dogging your footsteps incase you step out of line."

There was something about those words, dogging. He meant something with those words. A look at Harry told me that he had noticed it as well, but unlike me he knew what it was all about.

"Get out!" Hermione said and shut the door after them.

When we got off the train, I looked around after an empty seat in one of the carriages. Suddenly someone took my arm. I turned around and saw that it was Draco.

"Go and sit with Potter & Co." he hissed.

"What?" I said. I couldn't tell if he really meant it, or just was angry because I'd been sitting with them on the train.

"Make friends with Potter & Co." he said impatiently.

"Why?"

"Infiltrate their little group! And keep your eyes up for information about a dog. Then, if they say anything, you tell me. Got it?!"

What was it about that dog? I didn't understand anything.

"Which dog? Why?"

"Don't act like you're stupid, Tamara." He said, threatening, "I'll be hearing from you, then."

And he was gone. Puzzled I stood still. Almost everyone had entered a carriage; I didn't know where to go. Suddenly Ginny's head appeared out of one of the carriages.

"Hey! Tamara, there's one seat left here, if you want to join."

I entered the carriage and sat down next to Ginny. Ron, Harry, Hermione and Luna were also there. I felt that everyone still was keeping an eye on me, although they were talking about other stuff. Not Harry, though, he seemed pretty into himself.

In the Great Hall, I sat down next to Hermione. She chatted with Harry and Ron, on her other side, but when they started discussing quidditch, she turned to me.

"Tamara..." she said slowly, "I... wanted to say... that I believe that the Sorting Hat never makes a single mistake."

That was all, and she turned away from me again. I didn't know what to think, really. At first, I didn't understand what she meant at all. During the night, when I lay awake, trying to sleep, I realized what she had really said. She thinks I should be in Gryffindor. She doesn't think I'm evil or something.

Author's note: Almost all reviewers have told me that I should add more details, and as you may see I've done so. In fact, that was my thought from the beginning; the first chapters were more kind of a background story. The real "story" kind of begins here, maybe you've noticed that the story kind of switches style here. Well, anyway, thanks for reading, please review. Even if you have reviewed before, please review again, review every chapter that you read. Reviews keep me writing. Also, I still want to hear more ideas for Tamara's fifth year, which would take place in the sixth book. Besides this story, I'm writing another HP fic, less serious, named Heaven, you should check it out if you're interested (but I'm warning you, it's pretty weird...). Thank you!
