Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter. No. I only own the physical form of Blaise. I do however have half custody of the physical forms of Draco, Sirius, Severus, and Remus, with Bella, better known to you people as K.Krum. And probably 50 others from the stories. Like Oliver Wood. Sorry, kids, they are not for rent.
(sung to Barbie Girl) I'm a writer girl, in the fanfic world. You know writing, it's exciting! You can make a plot, a character or a poem. Originality proves individuality!
Warnings: Slash. Cliffies like the last one. Language. And if I get around to it, maybe some innuendo of a sexual nature. ; )
A/N: Uh. So I was all depressed about having miniscule reviews. And then I realized that like 10 people have added me to their fave list and others to their alert list. Why I do love this, please review! Even if you just say "Good chapter." It makes me happy. And now, for your pleasure, the story. This is un-beta-ed.
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE CHOCOHOLICBOOKWORM! HER DEATH THREATS ARE WHAT MADE ME FINISH THIS CHAPTER! (SMOOCH TO HER)
Chapter 8: More Company
"Mother! I thought you were dead!" Blaise was giving his mother a hug that would've cut off the Dark Lord's circulation.
"I thought YOU were dead!" Silrena had tears streaming down her face. A girl behind her walked in, quietly closing the door behind her. She was of an average height for her age of 16, and had short blonde hair, with green tips. Her eyes were misty, making it hard to distinguish what color her eyes were. They looked hazel, but they looked ready to change at any moment. She quickly sat in a chair out of everybodies way, watching the events fold out with interest.
"I wasn't dead! Father just said that you dissapeared! He said he sent aurors to find you, but you were gone!" Blaise too, had water in the corner of his eyes.
"No! Your father and I had gotten a divorce. I didn't know he was a deatheater, and when I found out I refused to join him. He told me the manor burned down, and you didn't make it out in time! You're so grown up…"
"WHAT? Well I guess it's a good thing that I'm in hiding from him, then isn't it?" Blaise tried to make his mother smile.
"Of course, dear. (A/N: I don't want to prolong this, so in your imaginations, imagine this the whole lovey-dovey reunion) "And you look so handsome… Harry, is Blaise the boy you had a crush on?" Harry looked taken aback.
"No! No offence, Blaise, but your not my type. The only guy for me is Draco here. Literally." Draco walked forward, giving Silrena a hug.
"Ah, yes, I know Draco. He was always the leader of the Silver Wave." The blonde blushed, rolling his eyes. Quickly, Silrena jolted her head around, searching for something. Her eyes laid on the girl sitting in the chair. "Crystal, come here." The girl got up and walked confidently to the older woman. "Guys, I'd like you to meet my daughter, Crystal." She walked forward and shook everyones hand firmly, lingering a bit longer on Pansy.
"Hey. Nice to meet you all." She winked at Pansy, and was wide-eyed when Pansy returned the gesture. Silrena smiled and continued to speak.
"I adopted her two years after I thought I had lost you."
"Why haven't we seen you at Hogwarts?" Theo asked.
"Well, Mum and I lived in the States for the past few years. I went to a school there called 'Mist Magic for the Unique Witch and Wizard.' It's a worldwide school. Only 300 people get into it from around the globe. They don't pick you by name, rather your magic ability when you are born." Harry nodded.
"Ya, I got a letter from them. Dumbledore said it was an excellent school, but advised I stay at Hogwarts. He wanted to protect me. Git. That was before I learned about Voldemort." He paused, awaiting the custumary twitch to pass, and was pleased when there was none. "Glad I listened to him, though." He looked at Draco. "If I hadn't, I'd be missing out on some purrrrrfect things in my life…." Draco swallowed, sat down, and crossed his legs.
"It was cool there. Not the most accepting bunch. I'm starting Hogwarts this year. Don't know much about the houses though. From what I've heard, I'll probably be in Slytherin." Pansy looked up.
"Well, I guess you'll be sharing my room, considering that the 6th year dorms are full, and I'm a Prefect, so I have the only room to spare…" Pansy suggested smoothly.
"You know, I think that will work out quite all right…"
"OK guys! Enough of the flirting. If you haven't forgotten, we have to get back to the party," Harry interrupted the girls.
"You guys go on ahead, I want to catch up with my mother."Blaise and Silrena were led upstairs by Theo, who for some reason already knew the way up to the attic.
The party ended late that night, with numerous people passed out in random places. The most interesting, however, was Mrs. Weasley, who was found in a closet, in a rather racy outfit, with Mr. Weasley lying on top of her. Ron was the unfortunate one to find them. With the help of the posse, Remus and Sirius managed to get all of the unconscious people into guest rooms, in some cases doubling up. After everything was cleaned up, everybody went to sleep. With Pansy and Crystal sharing a room, might I add.
The next morning Harry woke up at 4:30. He hadn't gone to bed till two, but he was completely refreshed. He walked down the stairs (which was weird, due to the floors switching around) and headed off to the gym. After an hour, the Slytherins, including Crystal, joined him.
"Some place you got here, Harry." Blaise smirked, while starting to bench.
"It is Haven for Gays," the brunette responded, pointing at a sign on the wall.
"You can say that again," Pansy yawned, while getting into a running competition on the treadmills with Crystal.
"It's pretty good. The wizarding equipment is on the other side." Harry pointed to a wall that was painted blue. He walked over there, and put on some boxing gloves. He tapped a piece of plastic, which turned quickly into a human dummy, which immediately started boxing with him. The others gaped in awe, as Harry managed to get through all the levels of difficulty. Finally, he gave one final punch and the doll popped. Panting, he wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and left to take a shower.
"Draco. You lucky bastard," Blaise managed to get out, before quickly running to his room. Draco just smirked, and continued with his new routine. (A/N: poor blaise! Hehe.) Everybody else continued working out as well for about half an hour, and then returned to their rooms to bathe. (Thank god for magical water heating.) Everybody was pleased to note that their favourite bathroom soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc, were all the kind they used regularly. After everyone was done bathing, they went downstairs to breakfast.
Harry was already sitting at the table on his second helping when everybody else joined him. "Good morning everyone! Now that you are all showered, you can eat. On today's menu, we have… everything. Since we can use magic, you can conjure up what you'd like. However, if you want some thing homemade, I have made quite a few things with Sirius, Remus, and Mrs. Weasley. These include pancakes, eggs, corn beef hash, hashbrowns, waffles, steak, and mashed potatoes. I wanted steak and mashed potatoes. I don't know why. So dig in!" Everybody did what they were told, and soon there was no food left. "Ok. So I thought we'd get to know eachother today. I decided that we all will go to Diagon Alley." Just as Harry said that, about nine owls flew in. "Well that's convenient. Our O.W.L.'s are here." Each bird dropped their letter to the appropriate person, but two of the birds gave Remus their letters.
"Hey Remus, why did you get letters?" Draco tilted his head.
"Oh, when Dumbledore talked to Sirius and I a few days ago, he said we would be getting more visitors than just the Silver Wave. Three more students are coming. Crystal's twin sister Christine is coming, and I believe you got her letter, correct Crystal?" Crystal nodded. "Good. Another pair of sisters are coming. Their names are Addie and Jade. (A/N: My friends Christine and Addie demanded to be put in the story with their preferred pairing. So I decided that I wanted in too. This chapter and the chapter before they get to school are going to be really weird. Yet amusing.) They are also from America." Before Remus could continue, Crystal jumped in.
"OH MY GOD! I love them! They are really cool. They went to school with me. I guarantee you Jade with be in Slytherin. Her and I are really close." Pansy gave her a look. "Panse dear, don't worry, she's straight. Christine and Addie are best friends too. Addie will be in Ravenclaw. Actually, she'll probably get Gryffindor. She wouldn't get placed alone. They are both really cool though." She blushed.
"Right then. So what did everybody get?" Remus asked. Harry looked up. (A/N: Jade goes to get HBP to find out what everyone got…)
"Well I did okay. A in Astronomy, E in Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Herbology, and Transfiguration. P in Divination, but we were expecting that. D in History of Magic. Heh. And O in Defence and…" Harry's face went white.
"Harry, mate, what's wrong?" Ron looked over his friends shoulder and also paled. "Bloody hell. Harry here got an Outstanding in Potions!"
"Harry! That's wonderful! We'll be in class together!" Hermione gave him a crushing hug.
"I only failed History and Divination. Ya!" Ron kissed Hermione, and both blushed.
"I got all O's. And an E in Defense," Hermione muttered. Draco looked up.
"Me too." Draco smirked. Pansy and Blaise got the same grades as Harry, except for Defense. Theo same as Draco, except for History of Magic. "So Crystal, what did you get?"
"Oh, the usual. Same exact as Harry actually. Ron! Stop trying to look at Jade's grades!" Ron put the envelope down before walking away.
"Right. As I was saying before, we should go to Diagon Alley to get to know eachother. Draco, Ron, Hermione, and Christine will go to one side, Draco of course in disguise. Christine should be here in ten minutes. Pansy, Theo, Crystal, and I will go to the other side, everyone in disguise but me. At about 3pm, we'll switch sides, and at 6 we will meet for dinner. Sound good?" Everybody noddded, and the doorbell rang. Of course, Mrs. Black started screaming.
"SHUT UP MOTHER! I say we burn the portrait. Who's with me?" Harry and Remus raised their hands. Crystal, Draco, and Harry went to the door.
"Hi! I'm Christine. I'm supposed to be staying here…" She looked exactly like her twin, except with red tips instead of green.
"Hi! I'm Harry. This is Draco." Everybody shook hands, and the girls hugged. "We were just going to Diagon Alley. Would you care to join us?"
"Sure. That would be awesome." They all walked back to the kitchen, everyone introducing themselves, and shaking hands. When Christine and Theo shook, both hands lingered a bit longer then they needed… Once everyone had money, they all flooed to Fred and Georges place.
Everybody was having a wonderful time.
Meanwhile…
"Remus, we should probably figure out sleeping arrangements for the kids. There is going to be 11 of them." Sirius was painting a picture of Remus.
"O ya. There are six guest rooms on that floor, right?"
"Ya. That means two per room, and one single."
"Ya. So Harry and Draco can share one, Ron and Hermione can share one, Christine and Crystal, Blaise and Theo, Pansy and Addie, and Jade alone."
"But Padfoot, wouldn't Addie want to be with Jade?"
"Dumbledore said that Jade should have her own room. Didn't say why though." The bell rang, and the couple went to the front door.
"Hi. I'm Addie." A medium height girl was standing in the doorway. She had medium coloured skin, with rich brown eyes. Her hair was dark brown, and shoulder length. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a green zip-up sweater with the collar popped.
"Hi, I'm Remus. Welcome to the Order."
"Thanks." She looked behind her and dragged someone inside. After a nudge in the stomach, the girl spoke.
"Hey. I'm Jade." She pushed past Addie and walked around. "Nice place ya got here. I like it." Sirius grinned. Jade was the same height as Addie, but looked completely different. She had pale skin, and long, dirty blonde hair that went down to her elbows. Her eyes were much like Crystals, only instead of looking about to change, they were always changing. She was wearing tight, black leather pants and a tight, black top. She was even wearing black high-heeled boots. She looked in the mirror. "Ya know, I miss my blue tips." She closed her eyes and her tips were suddenly neon blue. "That's better."
"Jade, stop showing off." Addie rolled her eyes.
"What? Who? Me?" She gave her sister an innocent look before turning to Sirius. "And you are?" Sirius' grin grew wider, and he extended his hand.
"Sirius Black. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand, and he was pleased that she had a firm grip. Remus laughed.
"Hey Padfoot, looks like you finally found some one who shares your leather fetish. About time too." Jade smirked before walking into the house.
"So, aren't there supposed to be other teens here?" Addie asked Remus.
"O, they went to Diagon Alley. They should be back at eight or so." Addie nodded, "Are you guys hungry?" She nodded again, and Remus brought her to the kitchen, where Sirius and Jade were already talking and eating sandwhichs. Remus turned to Addie and whispered, "Well it looks like they are going to get along fine." Jade turned around.
"Well yes, actually we will. You guys seem to be a match too. What time is it anyway?"
"It is 7pm. The rest of the gang should be back in an hour." Remus and Addie sat down to eat. After they were done, Remus stood up. "Well I guess we should bring you to your room." Addie looked up.
"I don't have to share with Jade, do I?" She looked horrified.
"No, you'll be sharing with Pansy. Jade has her own room, on Dumbledore's orders. He didn't tell us why, however." Remus and Sirius looked at Jade. "Care to fill us in?" Jade looked at Addie, then smirked.
"No. Not particularly." Remus was taken aback, but Sirius just laughed. They went upstairs to go to their rooms. Upon entering the hallway, on the left first was Harry and Draco's room, then Blaise and Theo's, and finally Pansy and Addies. On the right was Ron and Hermione's then Crystal and Christine's. At the far end of the hallway, was Jade's room. She brought up her own stuff, which was quite heavy, and Remus brought up Addie's. Jade decided to stay in her room for a bit, while Addie went back down stairs with the two older men.
At exactly eight that night, the kids returned with several bags of stuff each. Remus and Sirius helped them carry it to the den, where Addie was sitting, reading a book. Again, everybody went through introductions. Everybody went to the living room, where there was more room to sit. After about five minutes, Blaise stumbled out of the fire, landing near Addie's feet.
"Sorry guys! I was talking to Fred and George about a new-" He looked up at Addie and shut his mouth. He quickly stood up, and kissed her hand. "Ciao, il mio amore bella." Addie blushed, while everybody else's jaws dropped.
"Ciao. E chi sia voi?" Addie returned.
"Sono Blaise Zabini. Che è il suo nome?"
"Addie."
"Addie, lei è un fiore." Addie blushed again.
"Ringraziarla." Draco opened his mouth.
"Hey, Addie." She turned. "You just turned Blaise here straight." She blushed a red that Ron would be jealous of.
"I'll be in the kitchen." She turned and walked away, Draco holding Blaise back. Hermione moved to the front of the room.
"Um, is it just me, or is there music coming from upstairs?" Everybody stood quietly for a moment, before agreeing with her. "Why don't we see what it is?" They nodded and started following her, Sirius and Remus in the back, not sure where they were headed. As they got closer, Harry spoke up.
"It sound's like Chicago. Like someone is singing like Roxie, actually…" A floor below the music, it stopped for a moment, and then different music started. "RENT? Whatever is up there sure likes muggle musicals…" They got closer and closer, as the volume grew. Finaly, they reached the door. Harry opened it quietly. They all filed in, and sat on the floor. A girl was on a magical stage, singing the song "Take me or leave me." The stage was high, so she didn't see them sitting on the floor. There were mutters of "Wow" and "She's good" around the floor. When the song ended, Remus and Sirius started clapping.
"So, Jade, that's why Dumbledore said to give you your own room." Sirius grinned. Again. Jade whipped around to face them, obviously embaressed as hell.
"I didn't know I had an audience…heh," she said quietly, willing herself to dissepear. "I would've stopped… I didn't mean to disturb you guys… I'll…I'll turn it off…"
"Jade, that was great! You have talent!" She blushed. Pansy made her way to the front of the people to get a look at Jade. Her eye's widened, and she started for the stage, but was pulled back by Crystal saying, 'Oh no you don't. You are mine. And she isn't a lesbian." Pansy pouted, but stopped.
"Uh…thanks. Hi everybody. This isn't exactly the way I wanted to meet you guys, but whatever." She jumped off stage, and everybody saw what she was wearing. Again, Crystal held Pansy back. Harry grinned.
"Hey, Padfoot, looks like you finaly found somebody with your leather fetish!" He laughead.
"Hey! Leather is awesome! And I look good in it! Hmph." Jade and Sirius chorused together, before laughing.
"Hey, what did I miss?" Addie came walking in.
"I forgot to put a silencing charm on the room. They heard me, came up hear, and listened to me sing with out me knowing it." Jade sighed. Blaise ran to Addie, and started flirting with her in Italian again. Jade looked at everyone else. "What's up with him?" She asked.
"O nothing. Addie managed to turn Blaise straight." Draco smiled. Jade smirked.
"Addie, another one?" Addie glared at her.
Everybody spent the rest of the night hanging out. Slowly, however, couple's started drifting off. First, Remus and Sirius, then Ron and Hermione, then Blaise and Addie, untill nobody was left but Jade.
"Always the odd one out," she muttered, before curling up and falling asleep on the couch.
The next morning everybody but Addie woke to screaming. No, nobody found Sirius' "special" painting room. It was Ron, who had sat on a kneazle, which scratched him.
"Ron! What's wrong?" Hermione gave him a hug.
"I sat on THAT thing!" He pointed to the kneazle.
"O! SHE'S SO CUTE! Ron! She's a kneazle!" She picked the cat-like creature up, and promptly got scratched in the face. "Ow! Bad kneazle!" Pansy ran downstairs.
"What happened?" Hermione pointed. "Guys, we have bigger problems." Sirius looked up.
"What?"
"Jade is missing." Everybody's eyes went wide.
A/N:
HEHE! That was a wonderful cliffie, no? Don't worry. I won't make you wait for a month this time. I'm already starting the next chapter. Sorry it took so long to update. I was upset 'cause no one was reviewing, and I thought nobody liked the story. And then I looked at my stats, and realized that people liked it, they just didn't feel like reviewing. And then I got busy. And currently I'm at home, sick. For the past three days. And I got a review today from ChocoholicBookWorm with a death threat… (which I loved) and decided to finish it. Well to make up for it, this chapter is the longest yet, eight pages of story. REVIEW!
And now, review responses.
Chocoholicbookworm: I think you are my favourite reviewer so far. Your review was very amusing, and actually got me to finish the chapter. I checked out your profile, and am very honored that you think my story is well written, since you normally don't like slash. : )
HalfSithalready: Okay, everyone, this is who both Christine and Crystal are based on. Christine, are you happy now! After so much of your complaining to me about making your character a lesbian, I gave you two. Now stop pestering me in Science class! And gym!
BerserkerGoddess: Again, I am honored that you like my story. I have been a fan of your writing for quite a while. I'm glad you liked the twist and my author's notes.
K.Krum: BELLA! I LOVE YOU! My bestest fanfiction friend ever! Thank you for tolerating my weird sanity. Or rather, my lack there of. Hehe. Sorry I didn't send you this to beta, but I was kind of afraid about that death threat. Actually, you just weren't on.
ROUGH TRANSLATIONSI don't speak Italian. So I had to use one of those sucky online translators. Roughly, it goes like this:
Blaise: Hello my beautiful love.
Addie: Hello. And who are you?
Blaise: I am Blaise. What is your name?
Addie: Addie.
Blaise: Addie, You are a flower.
Addie: Thanks.
Addie is a real person too. One of my bffs actually. As is Christine.
