"Harry, I have to go. I'm sorry." He quickly walked over to her and kissed her before she could stop him. She lost her self-control and kissed him back. He held on to waist while kissing her until he managed to get her back to the bed. He held her down and summoned up some chains that wouldn't break.
"Harry James Potter, let me go this instant! Now!"
"No Adriana. I can't lose you. Not now. Adriana Black, I love you." She stopped struggling.
"What?" Her eyes were filled with wonder.
"I love you Adriana. What's wrong? Why do you want to leave so bad? I mean all we did last night was sleep. I held you and watched you sleep."
"I'm sorry. If my stepfather knew I was here, he, he would kill you. I love you too much to go through that again Harry. I just can't." She broke down. Harry let her go and held her once more. She cried for an hour or so and then stopped. He stroked her long hair for a while.
"Adriana, what did you mean again?"
"What?"
"You said that you couldn't go through that again."
"You really want me to explain don't you?"
"Yes."
"Fine." She lay back down on the bed where she laid last night.
"I was married. I was married to the most wonderful man ever. No offense of course, but I truly love him. We only told a select group of people that included my twin brother, my half-brother, my mother, my father, my two best friends from school, his twin sister, and a few other people knew."
"You have a brother? You never did tell me who your mother was."
"You know my brother very well. He speaks of you often. Well he did until our 'father' banned your name from the house. Draco Malfoy."
"YOUR BROTHER IS DRACO MALFOY!"
"Yes, now calm down. In case you can't tell, we are not the only people in this house."
"Sorry. Damn Draco."
"Okay. Now as I was saying, our mother was Narcissa Malfoy. We are extremely close. He isn't that bad of a guy Harry. If you really love me then you're going to have to talk to Draco. He doesn't let anyone mess with his baby sister."
"So are you guys twins or something?"
"Yes, Lucius attempted to kill her, so she ran off, found my father and one thing led to another. They were sweethearts at school you know. They never told anyone since she was in a different house and betrothed to Lucius."
"He attempted to kill her? That's seriously not cool."
"Yeah, well your telling me. I love my mother, even though she is no longer with us."
"What?"
"Lucius killed her a year ago. She told me who my father really was and he tried to kill Draco and I, but my mother jumped in front of us."
"What do you mean 'Draco and I'?"
"Draco was reading a letter from his girlfriend, that is not Pansy by the way, and I was writing a letter to my boyfriend in the study. My mother came in and Lucius followed. They were screaming and Lucius hit her and I cursed him. He broke it and hit me, which caused me to fall. Then Draco jumped up and bloodied his nose. Lucius fell and Draco ran to Mother and I. Mother jumped up and argued once more while Draco held me. I was crying my eyes out on Draco's shoulders. He slowly rocked me back and forth while our parents fought. Then Lucius screamed 'What do you mean their not my damn children?' Mother screamed 'so, what if their not yours. You raised them from birth. Remember you always said that she was your baby girl and he was your quidditch star.' Draco and I already knew all of this. She told us on our birthday a few days before."
"So why didn't you go to Hogwarts with Draco?"
"Lucius thought that it bad publicity since no one knew I was alive. He thought that it would be to easy for people to find me. So he sent me to a school for mutants. I think it was Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters or something like that."
"Okay so how did he kill your mother?"
"While Draco was comforting me, Lucius tried to curse us. Mother jumped in the way and she was killed instead of us."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's alright. So I've told you about Draco, Mother, and myself. I haven't told you about my husband and best friend."
"Correct."
"Alright, well I met my husband when I ran away from school. I hated the students there. Well I didn't hate Marie, Bobby, Logan, Storm, or Scott. Marie was my best friend. Logan and I were the only ones allowed to call her Marie. Bobby was her boyfriend. Logan was like Marie's father and mine. He looked after us, protected us, and cared for us. Marie and I were the only ones allowed to call him Logan. Everyone else called him Wolverine. Storm was amazing. Scott was kind of out there. Everyone was mean to me except for them. I ran away after a months of ridicule. They didn't like my power. I was stronger than all of them put together. I scared them."
"Where did you go?"
"Oh, I flew to California. My school was in New York, so I flew to Sunnydale. I thought that they wouldn't find me there. Well, that's where I met Gabriel Apollo O'Connor. He was half vampire and half wizard."
"How could he be half vampire and half wizard?"
"I don't know, but if you don't mine me saying, he was HOTT!"
"Fine." He mumbled. Adriana looked off somewhere as she went into her memories once more.
"He had medium length brown hair with just a bit of curl in it. His eyes were the perfect mixture of blue and green with a dab of brown in the center. I'd wake up and the first thing I'd see was his eyes. Well anyway, I was walking the 1st night I arrived there. I heard commotion in the graveyard. I immediately ran to help. That was when I first saw him. His twin sister was with him. She was a vampire slayer and looked just like their mom. They were amazing. It was like they were unstoppable."
"So Gabriel was a vampire and Gabrielle was a vampire slayer?"
"Yeah. Gabriel Apollo O'Connor was wearing black leather pants, a silk black shirt, and a long black trench coat. Gabrielle Artemis O'Connor was wearing a white mini-skirt, a white tank top, and a white trench coat. They were they same yet different in every way."
"Go on then. Don't make me wait any longer." His eyes showed that he was really interested in listening to her story despite the fact that she was telling the story about her late husband.
"Wait, we just met yesterday, I'm pouring my soul out, and you already declared you love me."
"Yeah that is weird. Hold on, can I call Hermione in here?"
"Who is this Hermione?"
"My best friend and the smartest witch in school."
"Fine, but why?"
"I think a spell might be on us. I'll be back."
"Okay." Harry walked out the door and Adriana lay on the bed. She exhaled deeply. It was a major relief to talk to someone yet she didn't know why it was Harry. She just met him, but she felt like she could tell him anything and everything without him judging her. After all she had been through it felt nice. Gabriel had only been killed a few months ago. She closed her eyes thinking of him. Her fingers moved to the necklace around her neck without her realizing it.
