Chapter Eight
Ebony walked with Satiana, Ron, Fred, George, Harry, and Hermione. They were walking towards their classes and since they were in the same place practically they were walking together. Satiana and Hermione exchanged glares the entire way there. They all walked into Ebony's class. Ebony saw Draco on the other side of the room. She glared at him before sitting with Ron, Harry, and Hermione.
"I'll see you guys after class," Satiana told them.
She was about to go catch up with George and Fred, but the new professor walked past them. He sensed something but couldn't put a finger on what it was. Satiana recognized him right away and left before she decided he needed to be introduced to her left and right fist. Ebony didn't recognize him because she had been too little the last time she had seen him.
"Settle down. Settle down," The professor said once he was in front of the class.
Everyone sat in their seat. Silence settled over the room. Ebony sat on one side glaring secretly at Draco. Draco sat at the other side looking guiltily down at his paper.
"I'm Professor Lupin as most of you know. I'll be your new defense against the dark arts teacher."
Ebony thought she had heard the name before but she pushed the thought to the back of her head. Professor Lupin began to teach the class but Ebony couldn't focus. She thought back to everything that had happened since she had come to Hogwarts. She had been placed into an entirely different house as her sister, found friends that had gotten her to ignore an fight with her sister then make up with her. She had been cursed by a dark lighter with the Crucio spell. Spent a month back home in Rivendell to recover. Then when she came back she found out it might be Pansy that sent the death eater after cause she was jealous of how she got more of Draco's attention then her. Then to top it all off she found out from Pansy and from Draco himself that her ex soon to be boy friend's mother was the death eater that went after her and had almost killed her. Draco could have been the one who really sent Narcissa after her. But what she couldn't figure out was if Draco had sent Narcissa after her then why did he defend her.
"Miss. Undomiel, Can you tell me what we've been talking about?" Professor Lupin asked.
Ebony shook her head.
"Ten points from Slytherin," Lupin said before continuing the lesson.
Meanwhile Satiana was in the other room thinking about how much she would like to hurt Remus Lupin. She had a flash back to when her and her sister were little and her parents were around. When she was happy.
Five-year-old Satiana ran through the gardens chasing Legolas.
"Come on inside," Remus called to Satiana and Legolas, "And go find your sister Satiana."
Satiana turned to Legolas.
"She's probably in the maze again," Satiana told Legolas.
Legolas nodded in agreement.
"Come on Legolas," Satiana said before heading towards the maze of bushes her sister like to lose herself in.
It took them awhile to find Ebony because she always managed to lose herself deep inside. When they found her she was inspecting a butterfly.
"Ebony it's time to go inside," Satiana told her three-year-old sister.
Ebony turned toward them not taking her eyes off the butterfly.
"Sati look at the blue butterfly," Ebony said motioning for her to look down.
"Yeah Ebb. It's pretty, but daddy said it's time to go inside," Satiana told her sister.
Ebony completely ignored her sister.
"I was thinking about calling him Butter," Ebony said.
"That's a nice name Ebb," Legolas told her.
Ebony thanked Legolas and still continued to ignore Satiana who was trying to tell her that they had to go back to the house.
"Daddy said we could go to market tomorrow if you come back right now," Satiana told her sister.
Ebony's face lit up. She said good bye to Butter and ran back to the house.
"Why do you tease her so?" Legolas asked.
"It was the only way to get her back," Satiana said.
And in her five-year-old mind that was how to get her sister back. They caught up with Ebony a moment later. As they walked back to the house Satiana would joke about Ebony naming her butterfly Butter and Ebony would joke that Satiana was a big Daddy's girl. When they got inside they saw Elrond coming down the stairs.
"Hey Grandpa," Ebony said running over to Elrond, "Can you tell me a story before bed?"
Elrond smiled and picked up Ebony.
"Of course."
Elrond walked back up the stairs and towards Ebony's room.
"Do you want to go to the lake tomorrow?" Legolas asked.
Satiana thought about it for a moment.
"As long as you don't push me in," Satiana replied.
"I won't," Legolas grinned remembering what had happened that day.
Satiana playfully pushed him.
"That wasn't funny," Satiana insisted, "I wasn't expecting you to push me."
