Chapter 5: related

" Come with me Amy, I have something to show you. Follow me," He whispered. She got up and slipped on her shoes.

He led her to a nice looking place which she found out was the passage to the Gryffindor common rooms. He looked excited. There was a portrait of a fat lady who asked," Password please?"

"Butterbeer" He said fast and the portrait swung open.

He motioned her inside. "Um... I don't know if I'm allowed to come in here."

" There is no one else in here. Come on." She stared at his face.

She couldn't resist," Okay. Lets go." She stepped inside a comfy room, much better than the Slytherin common room.

" Come with me. I know it's the boy's dormitory but come in anyways. I'll be the only boy in there. If someone comes, I'll just hide you under my bed." She nodded.

She jumped onto the four poster bed, waiting for Edgar to finish digging through his trunk. He grabbed an elaborate red album and dropped it on the bed. He opened it up to a picture with two people walking down an isle. He recognized one on them; it was her grandpa, Harry. " Do you know who that woman is?" He took out the picture and showed her the back.

It read out: " Harry Potter and Hermoine Granger (Potter). Wedding day." Her jaw dropped. She was related to Elyssa all along. " But how come my mum never told me? My grandma died and I didn't go to her funeral. She had always been gone whenever I visited. I never knew. Grandpa only told me she was his best friend. Maybe my mum bribed him a hundred galleons. I bet she would've done that. But why did my mum hate her?"

Edgar said," Well, maybe he was just sad after she died so he didn't talk about her."

"Yeah. I guess you could probably be right."

All of a sudden, their conversation was interrupted by the creaking of the portrait door.

"Quick, get under the bed." He said helping her.

He ran out of the dormitory to check who it was. It was a prefect: Simon Hirigoff. " Hi Edgar!" he said happily," It's a nice day, why don't you go outside and get some fresh air? I just came here to get my wizards chess set."

He searched everywhere then asked," Could I look under your bed? I can't find it anywhere." Edgar's face went a little red.

"No, I'll check for you. Don't want to get those clean robes dirty. Its dusty under my bed."

Simon watched him suspiciously," Oookay..."

Edgar went to the side of the bed and whispered," Is there a wizards chess set under there?"

She whispered," Here."

She handed him a small box and he handed it to Simon.

" Thanks. And, you better clean out under that bed or I'll have to report you." He noticed a bit of Amy's cloak. " How long has that cloak been under there."

Edgar's face went completely red when he pulled it and Amy was pulled out with it. Simon was shocked. "What's a girl doing in the boy's dormitory?"

And when she sat up on the bed he noticed the logo on her cloak. She flung her hand to her chest on attempt to hide it but failed. " And a Slytherin girl!"

Amy interrupted," Its not what you think. He wanted to show me something."

He said," I'm going to have to report this to Headmaster Malfoy." Both Edgar's and Amy's faces went red.

" Please don't! We weren't doing anything bad. I swear!"

Simon ignored him and left the room. Edgar plopped down next Amy.

" We are sooo busted," he said.

She sighed, " At least I can't be expelled because I have nowhere to go, and this is only the first thing you've done and you're only a first year."

Simon returned and brought them with him. They brought them to Malfoy's office, and like always, Ginny was in there. Simon made them sit down on two chairs right next to each other.

Malfoy way fuming. He finished writing some papers, rubbed his temples, and then stood up. He looked calm at first but then yelled," What were you thinking when bringing a Slytherin girl into the Gryffindor common room? And in the boy's dormitory? Are you that bloody stupid! You will be brought to the forbidden forest for one night as punishment. Professor Weasley will lead you. Be ready nine thirty tomorrow night."

On the ways back, Edgar said, " I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you into the commonroom in the first place."

She smiled, " It's okay, I don't mind. I liked it in there. I wish I was a Gryffindor."

They talked until they had to split up to go to their common rooms.

Edgar sounded nervous; " B-b-b-before I-I go…" He quickly wrapped his arms around her and hastily let go, " Bye."

She blushed and said, " Bye," back.

Thought about what happened all night and forgot about her history of magic essay. A couple hours after staring into space, Elyssa interrupted her daydreaming. She sat up on her bed. Elyssa was happy as usual, " Whatcha thinking of Amy?"

She blushed, " Oh, nothing. But guess what I found out. I'm related to you."

Her jaw dropped like always; " W-where did you hear that? And why are you blushing?"

A big ugly grin went across her face, "I think I know. Does it have to do with Edgar?"

Amy thought to herself, " Maybe that's why she was sorted into Slytherin." While staring at the grin. She snapped out of her daydream and said, " It was nothing, now, as I was saying, he showed me a picture of Harry and Hermoine getting married. I guess they divorced after or you would have the same last name as me."

" This is so cool." She said excitedly, " So, are you two going out?"

Amy started to get annoyed, " Did you even hear a bloody word I said! I never even said anything about us! Just nevermind."

She turned her head to Celesta's cage, which was opened, " Come here girl. Sorry I haven't been paying attention to you."

Celesta jumped out onto her arm and nibbled her ear. She was trying to avoid Elyssa from saying anything else. Finally, Celesta fluffed her feathers and flew back into her cage to go to sleep. After she worked on her essay, she fell asleep too.
