Author's Note : this isnt one of my best chapters... but i just wanted to clear some things... ((i think)) most of this chapter is just an introduction to the characters... LOL
i find this fic to be very... fluffy...ish LOL
Draco calmly walked into the Slytherin common room as soon as he and Hermione parted ways. Draco hasn't been to the Slytherin common room in forever. Even though it was dark and cold, it still felt like his haven.
The moment Draco stepped into the common room, there was a loud squeal, and the next thing he knew, he was being hugged tightly by Pansy Parkinson.
"Ooh, Draco! I missed you! I'm sorry that I wasn't there during the summer, because I was in Rome!" Pansy apologized. Draco chuckled. Even though they went out in fourth year, they still remain very good friends. Draco could tell Pansy everything, and Pansy would just sit there and listen. Sometimes, when Draco was feeling down (mostly about Lucius), Pansy would always be there. Pansy was his best friend.
"I missed you too, Parkinson." Draco let go of her tight grasp. Pansy lead Draco to one of the couches, and they both sat down.
"So, Draco. What have you been up to lately? I was watching you a while ago, and you seemed to be… enjoying yourself at the feast." the new girl, Natalie, said, hitting Draco playfully on the arm. Draco just glared at her. Natalie was Draco's god sister, and when they were young, they used to tell each other everything. But when Draco started Hogwarts, they have lost touch, but now thatthey are reunited, Draco felt like it was just yesterday that they met.
"No, I wasn't." Draco said a little quickly.
"Whatever." Pansy rolled her eyes, while Natalie giggled. Boys, they just won't admit anything.
"Awww, come on, girls." Draco hugged his two girls and they both tried to wiggle out of his grasp. It was just like the old days; with Draco being the center of the two girls of his life.
Hermione walked into the Gryffindor common room with a far-off look on her face. She was so clueless on what she was doing, until she bumped into someone and fell on the floor.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Hermione apologized.
"It's okay; I should have watched where I was going." Hermione looked up and her brown eyes met his grey ones.
"So, Hermione, where were you a while ago?" Nikko asked.
"Uhm… I was just helping people," Hermione said. Nice one, Hermione. How stupid could you get?
"Cool. Harry told me that you were Head Girl, right? I heard that you were incredibly smart and nice. He never said that you were pretty too." Nikko said. Hermione blushed and shied away from his gaze. Oh my gosh, Hermione. He's flirting with me! He's not that bad looking either. But I love his eyes… their just like Draco's… cool and grey. Wait, hold up! I did not just compare the nice Nikko to Draco Malfoy?
"Thank you," Hermione said softly and smiled at him. Nikko smiled back at her, with hope in his eyes.
"So, Ginny," Maggie said, as she sat by the youngest Weasley.
"Hey, Maggie," Ginny smiled at her, as she bookmarked her book.
"What are you reading?" Maggie asked. Ginny showed her the book cover.
"Shallow Water? That's one of my favorite books! What part are you at?" Maggie asked.
"I'm at the part where Erica thinks that John is cheating on her. It's a really good book actually. At first, I thought it was very cheesy and cliché, but it's really, really good." Ginny said, as she smiled at Maggie.
"Same here! But once you read the book, you can't get enough of it." Maggie laughed. Ginny was about to reply back, when the portrait door opened.
"Oh, hey, Harry!" Maggie waved at Harry, motioning him to join them. Harry smiled at the two beautiful young ladies in front of him. They were his girls.
"Hey, Ginny." Harry bent down and kissed Ginny quickly on the lips, while turning his attention towards Maggie.
"Hey, Maggie. May I talk to you for a second? Outside?" Harry asked. Both Maggie and Ginny looked surprised. Maggie nodded and she and Harry went out of the common room, with a pair of brown eyes following them.
"So, Harry. What's up?" Maggie asked casually.
How was he supposed to tell Maggie that he was his sister? I could just imagine it now. Oh, hi, Maggie. I'm doing great. Oh yeah, did you know that you are my sister that was put up secretly for adoption because our father had a vision that Lord Voldemort was going to kill you? You didn't? Well, now you know! Now let's talk about Professor Snape!
"Uhm…well…you…me…" Harry stuttered. Oh, great. My sister's going to think that I'm a big loser with a scar on his head.
"Harry…?" Maggie looked questioningly at Harry. Harry looked at her eyes, and he knew that everything was going to be alright. Then, he found his voice.
"Maggie, can you tell me about your mother?" Harry asked her. Maggie looked at Harry weirdly.
"Well, all I know was that she was very beautiful. She was also very smart." Maggie said with a dreamy expression on her face. Harry smiled at her. Indeed, their mother was beautiful.
"You know, the day when Voldemort (Harry was glad that she did not wince hearing his name) came to my house and killed my parents, he could not kill me, because of the love that my parents had for me. For him, giving up their life for me was overwhelming. But… my parents did not pass on their love to me…" Harry paused and looked down.
"They also passed their love to… my sister," Harry looked up and met shocked hazel eyes staring into his green ones.
"H-h-Harry?" Maggie asked unsurely.
"Yes, Maggie. You're my sister." Harry said softly, holding her hand.
"Somehow, I knew. That we were related, I mean. The moment I saw you, I couldn't help but see the resemblance of you… and dad." Maggie choked out, tears pouring slowly down her face. Harry smiled at her.
"Harry, what was it like? I mean… I don't have any memory of my parents, except what they look like… at least you got to spend some time with them when you were a baby…" Maggie said softly. Talking about his… their parents was hard for Harry, but it must have been worse for Maggie.
Instead of answering her back, Maggie hugged Harry and cried onto his shoulder. Harry hugged her back, rubbing circles on the small of her back.
"I love you, Harry," Maggie said through sobs.
"I love you, too."
They both stood their, hugging, for a long time, not knowing that someone with red hair was watching, heart-broken silent tears flowing down her cheeks too.
Author's Note : aww, poor ginny! she sort of got the wrong message seeing harry and maggie hugging and exchanging "i love you's"
pansy notices something, nikko likes hermione, maggie knows that harry is her brother, and ginny got the wrong message... hmmm...
as you have noticed, pansy does not like like draco as much. i get sick of pansy trying to gain dracos attention all of the time, so in this fic, shes different, and she acts like a sister towards draco. as for natalie...well... youll find out soon ; ) she doesnt do much in this chapter but she will... soon... LOL
in the upcoming chapter : hermione seeks someone unexpected for advice after having a ((bad? good?)) dream andginny and harrys first arguement.
