Chapter 4

Harry was eight when his sisters finally joined him at school.

Draco and Neville were nine, while Adrian had started at Hogwarts. Harry had classes with Daphne, Blaise, Pansy, Greg, Vince and Tracey.

Harry had needed a real wand last year to stabilize his magic. His was an 11" Hippogriff Talon and Larch wand, Louis Ollivander described as nice and supple. The hippogriff talon came from the same hippogriff as the feather that had been in his mother's wand. Which was a subtle connection that thrilled him. His was well balanced magically but particularly suited to Charms.

Draco had a reasonably springy 10" Hickory and Red Jasper Powder. It was well-suited for a boy interested in law and ancient runes.

Harry was on his way with his classmates to meet Draco for lunch.

"If it isn't the monster's girls. Does your daddy beat you?"

"are you sure you aren't his kids because he killed your parents?"

Harry ran, the shoved the first one away, "You leave them alone!"

"If isn't a Potter brat."

Harry growled, "How could you? They are just little girls. If anyone is a monster it's you Smith! Nasty git picking on five year olds girls. Does it make you feel big to pick on them? Why don't you stop being a coward and take on someone your own age?"

"Is there a problem here?" Draco drawled striding towards them.

Harry glared at Smith, "This creep was just leaving." His voice thick with warning.

Zacharias snuck off.

Nemia threw herself in his arms, her tiny body shaking with silent sobs.

Harry reached out and tugged Artemis close, "It's alright. Big brother's here. Ill take care you."

XoooooX

Draco knew something had happened. Nemia wasn't the sort to cry for no reason.

Harry was a good brother, he was a little jealous that Harry had siblings even if they weren't blood.

"They can sit with us." He offered graciously, they were cute and they were his god sisters after all. As Harry's best friend it was only right to look out for them.

Harry smiled at him.

Draco thought it was a rather nice one; Harry glowed sometimes when he was really happy.

"Hush now. You're safe Nemia. Why don't we go have lunch alright?"

Nemia sniffed.

Draco held out his silk monogrammed handkerchief.

Nemia dried her tears and shyly wiped her nose.

Draco snapped his fingers.

Dobby was immediately there with a clean replacement handkerchief.

Artemis snickered, "Pretentious much?"

Draco laughed, ruffling her hair as they headed to the school's dining hall.

He didn't mind lessons with Neville but he did miss Harry and his childhood friends.

XoooooX

Harry spotted a familiar but lonely blonde girl off by herself.

Luna Lovegood was a new student; her dad had protested her attending her but her mum put her foot down.

"Hey Luna."

The girl smiled, "Hi Harry. I heard that you've had a run in with Nargles. Nasty creatures."

Artemis looked up at her, "How did you know?"

"A blabbering humdinger told me."

Artemis stared at her, "Is that like a little birdy told you?"

Luna laughed; it was like a bit of music, "Something like that."

Nemia tugged Harry towards a table, "Neville's lonely. Let's sit with him."

Harry let her tug him along; he adored her. Artemis was stronger. She didn't seem to need him as much. Nemia had him wrapped around her little finger.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N- I decided to stop confusing every one- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.
