The Trouble With Siblings Is…
"That's it, that's all the tests, and you both passed them all… I suppose… Well Kurt you will attend the classes with the seventh year Slytherins and Serenity… I suppose, if you are comfortable with it, you may do the same with the seventh year Gryffindors. It is up to you." Serenity nodded.
"I am completely comfortable with that, sir."
"Peanut Brittle," Serenity told the portrait of the fat lady who nodded and swung forward on her hinges. Hermione was sitting in a chair by the fireplace, Serenity rushed over to her, "I'm going to be taking classes with you! I'm so excited!" Hermione looked shocked.
"But you're only 16 shouldn't you be in sixth year?"
"Well, yes, but I passed my N.E.W.Ts so Dumbledore said I could study with the seventh years, if I so chose, and I did!"
"Ok, well, why are you telling me this?" Serenity looked sad for a second.
"Other than my brother, you're the only person I know anything about; I thought… well I guess you're kind of my only friend. I'm sorry if I jumped to that conclusion though, I'll see you in class." And she walked away.
"Because I am in such a pleasant and chipper mood," Professor Snape told his frightened seventh year potions class; the thought of Snape being pleasant and chipper was enough to make the most trusting person suspicious, "I have decided to switch the partners around, Gryffindors pair with the Slytherins." The students reluctantly stood and switched seats until only Serenity, Kurt, Ron and Draco were left. "Serenity and Kurt pair with Ron and Draco, the two of you working together is unfair to the rest f the class." Ron did a small mental victory dance and sat down beside Kurt.
"Ron? If you screw this up for me, I'll kill you." Kurt said quietly. Ron swallowed and looked towards Harry who was working with Pansy Parkinson and mouthed the word 'help', Harry just shrugged and began writing notes.
"Hi, I'm Serenity; it's a pleasure to meet you." The small girl held out her hand to the pale boy in front of her. He turned to look at her and raised his eyebrow, he took her hand and kissed it lightly.
"Draco, the pleasure is all mine." Serenity smiled and they both began to copy the notes.
Once they had completed their potion, Draco and Serenity chatted until Snape came around to test their potion.
"Excellent, it's perfect, ten points to Slytherin." Serenity cleared her throat, "and ten to Gryffindor." Snape said through clenched teeth, and walked away. Serenity smiled, and looked at Draco who caught her eye and held it, his ice blue eyes searching her bright blue ones. Kurt looked over at the two of them and went over to put a stop to it.
"So, sis, you guys did alright then?" he said as he shoved his way between them, severing their eye contact. Serenity laughed, "Yes, we did just as well as, I'm sure, you did." The bell rang and Kurt left to get his bag.
"What do you have now?" Draco asked.
"Astrology, you?"
"Charms. Well, I guess I'll see you around then, bye." Draco gathered his things and left. Serenity grabbed her bag from the floor and walked out of the classroom and a little ways down the hall before she was grabbed and shoved against the wall, her mouth covered by a large, rough hand.
"Listen, sis, I don't want you making moon eyes at that candy ass alright? You're jeopardizing the mission and I simply can't let you do that, do you understand?" Serenity shoved at the man pressing her, painfully, against the wall. When she didn't respond, Kurt moved his hand from her mouth to her throat, lifted her a few inches off the ground and repeated, "Do you understand?" Serenity nodded as best she could, he put her down and roughly kissed her keeping her against the wall. He laughed and walked away, leaving Serenity crumpled on the ground coughing and holding back tears.
The rest of Serenity's day went smoothly; she managed to avoid both her 'brother' and Draco. She enjoyed all of her classes and did everything right, nothing, it seemed, could ruin her day now. She was very, very wrong.
As soon as she entered the common room she knew something was not right. She looked around for whatever may have caused her to feel as if something were wrong and found it, sitting in a chair by the fireplace.
