I only own Drey

"Where did Drey and Hermione go?"

Ginny was sitting cross-legged on the mahogany king size four-poster bed in Neville's room. She was chewing a piece of her hair and her eyes were following the boy as he puttered around his new home, pulling neatly folded clothes out of his trunk that had mysteriously appeared in the room when he entered and putting them away. The room seemed to have known he was coming; it was decorated like his dream room. The walls were pale green and there were motifs of plants all over them, magical motifs, the vines wriggled across the walls and flowers bloomed. There was a huge mahogany wardrobe, each door had an open rose chiselled into it, and the depressions were filled with aquamarine stones.

"I don't know Ginny."

The words were ground out between his teeth, it was the tenth time she had asked that question in the five minutes that she had been there. Honestly, he was very fond of the girl, everyone knew that, except for her brothers hopefully, that was something he didn't want to get into with people who were all a lot bigger than him.

"Why don't you go and ask Draco or Pansy, I wouldn't suggest asking Blaise, I think he'll be busy with Seamus."

"Because it's Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson!"

She thought it was obvious, she may respect them, but she didn't really understand what she was doing here, all she knew was that it got her away from her prejudiced brother, apart from that she didn't plan to seek them out, Merlin only knew what kind of trouble she could get into.

"Don't say that. They're being so good to you, they didn't want to bring you here, they only did it because we asked you, because we knew that you and Charlie having been getting all the insults from the rest of the Gryffindors because you hung around with us when we were with the Slytherins. Don't talk about them, you don't know them."

His face was flushed bright red and his arms were waving around as he tried to explain to Ginny what couldn't be explained with words.

Unable to explain to her what he meant he just turned around and went back to unpacking, leaving Ginny staring at his back, blushing a little. She knew he was right; they had been kind to take them in here, away from the Gryffindors harassment about their choice in friends. But it was still the Malfoys. When she was a child she heard stories about the Malfoys from her father, how evil they were, and how awful the twins were. It seemed a bit strange now that she thought about it, the kids in those stories would never have accepted someone like Neville into their group of friends.

But she didn't understand how they did it! She had gotten over her little crush on Harry in the summer after second year, and when they came back to school she had noticed Neville when she helped him find Trevor after the sorting. That boy was shy, he was always stuttering, and he never would have been able to say that Blaise would have been 'busy' with Seamus without blushing about eight different shades of pink.

"I'm sorry, it's just, confusing."

"You think I don't know that. For the last five years I've been tormented by Malfoy and his gang, always making fun of me, and this year they're my family, Vince and Greg are my best friends.

It's Drey you know. Before she came back they were all scared, that if they did anything that wasn't typically Slytherin she would be made to suffer for it. But know they're who they're supposed to be, just give them a chance Ginny, please."

"Alright."

Seeing a big smile light up his face Ginny pulled him into a hug that lasted a few seconds too long, gazing into his eyes she leaned in and was just about to kiss him when a voice interrupted.

"NEVILLE, GINNY. WHERE ARE YOU? DREY'S BACK."

Neville jerked away from her and bolted out the door, crashing into an open wardrobe door on his way, just as he was exiting the room he glanced back at her and blushed an even deeper red. With a sigh she followed him, the interruption was probably a good thing, she didn't want to scar him for life, not yet anyway.

Main room

"'Mione!"

Hermione was assaulted by a black and emerald whirlwind immediately after she and Drey appeared. While Hermione and Harry were engaged with their reunion Drey and Draco were staring at each other, anyone who knew them would have known that they were speaking, most suspected it was just a really close twin bond that allowed them to be so tight, a favourite expression that had once been applied to them was 'thick as two thieves', they had loved it, it became the password for various rooms in the manor for the next few years, it would have continued but Drey was sent away and Draco didn't want that to just be a password for him.

But the actual reason for the two of them always knowing what the other was thinking was telepathy.

"You two looked very cosy, all cuddled up on the couch."

"Mind your own business Drey. And what's she doing here anyway?"

"She knows who we are, and she's smart, she could help Blaise and Pansy, and don't change the subject. I told you that you and Harry were meant for each other."

"I know she's smart, father made me compete for grades with her for the last five years. And leave me and Harry alone, what we get up to, if anything, is none of your business."

"Of course it is, I'm your baby sister, it's my job to annoy, guilt-trip and match-make."

"Stay out of it Drey, and…………………….what the bloody hell is wrong with Neville, he looks like he's been to hell and back."

"I think it was probably Ginny. That's a very strong-minded girl, and she wants Neville. I just hope she comes around to the idea of the rest of us, Neville won't give her a chance if she doesn't."

"Hmm, should we deal with this lot, they don't seem to be able to cope with the new arrival."

"I suppose we should."

"Blaise, Pansy, Hermione's here to help with creating the new spell for the coronation. Don't give me that look Pansy, I know you like doing everything yourself but you said it yourself, we're going to need all the help we can get."

"I'd love to help. I read about something like this earlier actually, when I was checking to see if I was right about Draco and Drey, I knew it'd be useful at some point but I didn't think it would be this soon."

The twins took several steps back from the group, looked at each other and gulped, this wouldn't end well.

"What do you mean, checking if you were right about Drey and Draco, what were you checking?"

The legends about the elves of course, fire, ice and star elves. Draco and Drey are the vessels for their reincarnated and joined power.

"WHAT?!"

It was roared by every member of the court, Hermione bit her lip, she wasn't supposed to say that.
