Chapter Three
Cassi and Scorpius gave each other a long glance before looking back towards Dumbledore. "We're not exactly sure where to begin, sir." Scorpius answered.
"How about with your names." Snape inquired.
Cassie sighed. "My name is Cassi and this is my twin brother Scorpius."
"Are your first names accompanied by last names?" Snape drawled impatiently.
"Malfoy." Cassi and Scorpius said together. Dumbledore looked amused while Snape looked slightly shocked, but he masked his emotions before anyone could notice.
"And I am going to assume your father isn't Lucius Malfoy then, correct?" Dumbledore asked.
"Our grandfather, sir." Scorpius answered.
"I see, what is your mothers name then, if Draco is your father."
Scorpius cleared his throat. "Hermione Malfoy, well to us anyway."
"Interesting, now that introductions are out of the way, please try to explain how you are here."
"We aren't exactly sure ourselves. We were in our last period advanced double potions class and Professor Snape assigned us all two potions. Some would get 'Felix Felicis', and the rest would get a 'De-Aging Potion'. I got 'Felix', and Scorp got 'De-Aging'. We were almost two hours into our class when the stupid Ravenclaw bint, Tammi Goyle, tripped and caused the both of us to spill our potions all over ourselves and each other. We weren't exactly aware of what was going on until we ran into Theodore Knott in the potions classroom."
"So you made the mess?" Snape asked. Cassi nodded. Dumbledore looked amused again while Snape looked cross and puzzled. "What stages were your potions in?"
Cassi stopped to think. "Um, I was on step eight, sprinkle of common powdered rue."
"And you?" he asked Scorpius.
"Step ten I believe. It was my third time mixing it, this time clockwise."
"Hmm, not that far for each. Mr. Malfoy, you were about a week away from completion, and Miss. Malfoy, six months. I will have to do some research to see if there has been anything recorded about this."
Dumbledore clapped his hands together. "Excellent. Now that that is settled, you two will join our feast and attend classes under the name Lancaster. If anyone asks, you transferred here from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Stick to as much truth as you can about your family, but say your father is a muggle, and your mother is a pure-blood. That should make it easier to remember everything, understood? No one must know about this. Just us four."
"What about their appearance, sir?" Snape asked. "The both have the signature 'Malfoy' look. Grey eyes and platinum blonde hair, even though Miss. Grangers features dilutes it a bit, but not much."
Dumbledore sighed. "We are unable to do anything as they have already been seen my Mr. Knott. Just darken their hair a shade or two. That should be quite different. Everyone, let's go or we will be late to the feast."
Dumbledore rose from his chair and left the room before anyone could object. Snape shook his head and cast a non-verbal 'Crinus Muto' over the twin's hair before he left as well.
"How does it look?" Cassi asked her brother. Her hair was now a very light dirty blonde instead of her usual platinum.
"No one will confuse you with a Malfoy I suppose."
"That's good I guess." Cassi frowned. Scorpius nodded and followed after Snape and Dumbledore, Cassi wasn't far behind.

Ten minutes later found Cassi and Scorpius standing by the podium in the great hall, facing the four house tables filled will curious students.
Dumbledore stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat. "Good evening everyone. Before we begin our glorious feast, I would like to introduce you to our two new students. Scorpius and Cassi Lancaster. They just transferred from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. As you can see, Mr. Lancaster has been sorted into the mighty Gryffindor's and Cassi in to the cunning Slytherin's." The Gryffindor's erupted into cheers while the Slytherin's just clapped unenthusiastically. "Glad that everyone is excited. Now, let's enjoy our feast." Dumbledore patted Scorpius in encouragement while on the way back to his seat at the Heads table.
Scorpius and Cassi stepped off of the platform, and went their separate ways towards their respective tables.
On the arrival to the Gryffindor table the Weasley twins welcomed Scorpius like a king, whereas at the Slytherin table, Theo Knott was the only one to welcome Cassi.
"There she is! The beautiful angel I saw earlier. I was hoping to catch you in the common room after dinner." Theo said with a smile and a wink.
"Umm, no. Just stop." Cassi said as she sat down beside Theo and a pretty blonde she recognized as her Aunt Daphne. She grabbed her plate and started piling it with, sausages, potatoes, peas and a bun.
Daphne laughed. "Even she isn't blinded by your so called charm, Theo." Theo ignored her and started eating his dinner. "I am Daphne by the way, Daphne Greengrass. Over there is Pansy Parkinson, to her left is Draco Malfoy, and beside him is Blaise Zabini."
Blaise gave Cassi an alluring smile. "Knott was right, you are beautiful."
Cassi narrowed her eyes. "No." was all she said before she put a spoonful of potatoes in her mouth.
Blaise shrugged. "Worth a try. Your turn Draco, she won't be able to turn the Slytherin Prince down!"
Cassi finished her potatoes and put her fork down waiting for Draco to say something. "So, would you like to give it a try as well?"
"Not particularly." That was all he said before he resumed his uninterested staring at the back wall. Cassi smiled and resumed eating.
Daphne continued with her introductions. "And beside me is Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. Both are block heads, they love to eat though."
Cassi looked over Daphne towards Crabbe and Goyle. They seemed the same as they were in her time.
Everyone was eating comfortable when Blaise spoke up again. "So, your brother is a Gryffindor huh?"
Cassi looked behind her to see her brother laughing with Fred and George. She just looked back at Blaise and shrugged, indifferent. "Oh well, besides, Gryffindor's aren't as bad as you think. They are mostly reckless and stubborn."
Everyone but Draco Malfoy stopped eating and looked at her, shocked. "You cannot be serious!" was all Pansy said.
Cassi put a piece of sausage in her mouth and said, "Have you actually spoken to a Gryffindor?" She chewed her food and resumed talking when it was no longer in her mouth. "My mother was a Gryffindor, and so is my brother. All my aunts and uncles are as well. Grew up with them. It isn't like they are vampires or anything. They won't bite, unless provoked, that is. Learnt that one the hard way."
"I don't talk to them if I don't have to, and when I do it's to tell them to get out of my way." Pansy turned to Draco and said. "Should we even let her sit with us, she is practically a lion."
Before Draco could answer Cassi pipped up and said. "If my father wasn't a muggle, and attended Hogwarts he would definitely be in Slytherin."
"You're a half-blood?!" Pansy asked, extremely surprised.
Cassi nodded. "That a problem?" she asked as she took a sip of her pumpkin juice. Pansy shook her head. "Okay, good. Now this has been absolutely fun, we should do this again. I am off to the library."
Theo snorted. "Sounds like a certain mudblood we all know, and hate."
Cassi whipped her wand out so fast that Theo didn't have time to react. She slowly pushed it into his neck and said, "If I ever hear that filthy word again, I will use the 'Conjunctivitis Curse' on you so bad that there will be no counter curse. Got it!?"
Theo looked at her confused. "Conjunctivitis Curse?" he asked.
Cassi leaned closer and smirked. "Let's just say that no one will want to come into contact with you for a while. Are we clear?" She asked again. Theo nodded his head with fear in his eyes. Cassi smiled a sickly sweet smile. "Glad that is all cleared up." She said as she put her wand away again. "I will see you all later tonight."

The small group of Slytherin's watched as Cassi walked off. When she was out of sight Theo turned around to look at Draco. "She is terrifying." He said, Daphne laughed.
"There is something about her though. I can't really put my finger on it." Drago said with a faraway look upon his face.
"Yeah, she has a temper to rival even Grangers." Blaise stated.
Daphne laughed, "She is pretty amazing for a half-blood."
"Befriend her." Draco stated, desperately.
"What?"
"Befriend her, I want her around. You too Pansy."
Theo looked disgusted "Why?"
Draco just shook his head. "I don't know, I just do."
"Looks like Draco really does have a crush!" Daphne giggled.
Draco shook his head. "It's more of a curious feeling. I can't describe it."
Daphne, Theo, Blaise and Pansy all looked at each other worried.
Chapter Three down! Don't worry, the chapters do get longer! I personally think it is lame to have short Chapters... ;)
Hope you enjoyed... Please Review!
