I decided to update a day early because tomorrow (for most of you), is Good Friday. And some of you might have something planned with your family... Happy Easter everyone, and I hope you all enjoy your long (or extra long) weekend...

Chapter Five
The Saturday morning found Cassi lying awake in her bed, hoping that her potions mishap was just a dream, but as soon as she heard Pansy's shrill voice, she knew she wasn't. "Daphne, wake up! Breakfast was served ten minutes ago. Let's go."
Cassi groaned. "At least it's Saturday."
Pansy looked towards Cassi. "I guess you can come too."
Cassi sat up and rubbed her eyes. "I'll make sure she gets up, you can go to breakfast if you like."
Pansy glared at Cassi and sat on her bed. "No, that's alright. I can just wait."
Cassi shrugged and got out of bed. She started pulling on her uniform. Cassi had just bent over to grab her jumper when Daphne asked, "Why are you putting on your uniform? It's the weekend."
Cassi pilled her jumper on over her head and said. "I don't have any other clothes." That got Pansy's attention.
"You don't have any clothes?" Cassi shook her head 'no' and started pulling on her shoes. "Oh that won't do, it won't do at all. Daphne, get up and get dressed, I need your help."
Daphne threw her covers off and jumped out of bed. She walked to the end of her bed and threw open her trunk, rummaging around until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a blue half sleeve dress that came down to the top of her knees, and white stockings. When she was finished getting dressed she put on a simple pair of wedges waiting instruction from Pansy. "Finished."
"Good, get that black tank top out of your trunk. I have my black skirt and white leggings." Pansy turned towards Cassi and said, "Get undressed. We have a perfect outfit for you. Keep your shoes thought, they are actually cute."
Cassi looked at the material that Pansy and Daphne were holding out to her, she took them without complaint.
After changing out of her uniform and into her borrowed clothes, Cassi stood before Pansy waiting for her to say something. "Well?" she asked.
"It needs something else. Daphne, grab that thin white top you always complain about." Daphne once again fished through her trunk and pulled out the shirt Pansy was talking about and threw it toward Cassi.
Cassi threw the long sleeve over the tank top and saw Pansy nod. "Perfect, let's go now, I am hungry."
In the great hall Draco had just sat down in his usual seat across from Theo. He was talking non-stop about Cassi's brother, Scorpius. "The guy is a Gryffindor! How can any self-respecting Slytherin be related to a lion, like honestly."
Draco raised an eyebrow at Theo. "My mother was a Slytherin, and she is related to a former Gryffindor."
"Well, he was a cousin, that doesn't count. In this case, the lion is Cassi's brother." Theo shook his head and grabbed some eggs, and put them on his plate.
"If we are going on what Cassi is saying, then she is a snake in a lion's den. Everyone in her mother's family are Gryffindor's." Blaise interjected.
Theo waved away Blaise's words like they meant very little. "Back to the topic on hand, that Scorpius bloke seems a bit off. I was watching him when you came in Draco, and he couldn't take his eyes off of you. It was odd, seeing as how he has never even met you before."
Draco just looked up at Theo with mild interest. "You just met him yesterday Theo. He may be decent, for a Gryffindor at least."
Theo made a face at Draco. "Honestly? When have you started getting cozy with the lion's?"
Draco stopped buttering his toast to look back at Theo. "Do you like Cassi?" he asked.
Theo looked confused. "She seems alright I suppose, a bit scary though."
"You do realize that Scorpius is Cassi's twin brother right?" Theo nodded. "So why are you complaining about him when he is literally half of her. So in reality you are also complaining about her."
Theo glared. "Shut up Draco." He said and went back to eating his breakfast.
"Seems he can't take the truth, mate." Blaise said to Draco, he just laughed.
The small group of friends ate in silence until Pansy, Daphne, and Cassi came to sit down.
"Morning boys." Daphne greeted.
"Looking hot." Theo commented to Cassi.
She made a face as she sat beside Draco. "Eww, no." was all she said as she grabbed some bacon.
Blaise laughed. "Rejection number two! I love it!" Theo glared.
"So what are we doing today?" Draco asked while finishing his toast.
"Pansy, Cassi, and I are going shopping. It seems Cassi's clothing have gotten lost. She doesn't have anything."
"That could be handy." Blaise winked, Pansy glared.
"I'm not going." Pansy said.
"Why?"
"I am not interested in shopping with her." Pansy said gesturing to Cassi.
"Pansy," Draco warned.
Cassi cut Draco off. "No, it's alright. I can just go myself, I don't mind. Thank you Daphne."
"No, we will make a day of it! We will even get lunch. Come on Pansy." Daphne begged.
Pansy sighed. "Fine, but only because I like shopping. And because I need a few things."
"Fine, we will make a day. But for now I am going to visit with my brother." Cassi got up from the Slytherin table and headed toward the Gryffindor's. "Morning." She said as she sat down beside Scorpius.
"Snake." Ron greeted.
"Weasel." Cassi retorted with a smirk, and turned toward Scorpius. "I see you also had to borrow clothing this morning."
Scorpius nodded, looking down at the t-shirt he had borrowed. "Harry's, Ron is taller than I am."
Cassi nodded. "I am going into Hogsmead to get some clothing for myself, want me to grab some for you while I am there?"
"That would be amazing. Saves me from doing it. Just don't dress me like father, sometimes he dresses way too formal. Kind-of like grandfather."
"Father dresses smart, but fine. What are you guys up to today?"
"A mock Quidditch game." Harry answered.
"Nice." Cassi turned to speak to Hermione. "Guess that means you are being excluded Hermione?"
Hermione shrugged. "I like to watch some times."
"Would you like to join myself in Hogsmead? The only thing is Pansy and Daphne will also be going."
Hermione looked taken aback. "No, go ahead. You Slytherin's don't want me there."
"I want you there. Bring Ginny if you like."
"You have met Ginny?" Ron asked.
"Not formally, but I would like to. You're coming Hermione, Ginny as well. Have to go now though. Love you Scorp." Cassi said kissing Scorpius on the cheek and walking off.
Harry, Ron and Hermione watched as Cassi ran back to the Slytherin table. "You have a weird relationship with your sister." Ron pointed out.
"RONALD!" Hermione reprimanded, Scorpius laughed.
"It's alright. I have three sisters, Cassi is the only one I understand though."
"Tell us more about your family Scorpius." Hermione inquired.
Scorpius shrugged. "There isn't much to tell to be honest. I told you I had five siblings. Ten of us live in the same house. Grandfather and grandmother live with us."
"Must be crowded. Our house is." Ron said.
"No, father has money. An abundance of it actually. The house is huge."
"Must be nice." Ron mumbled in jealousy.
Scorpius shrugged. "I guess it depends. Father used to feel suffocated by the money. It was almost the only reason any girl was interested in him, until he started dating mum. She had no interest in his bank account, all she wanted was him."
The three other Gryffindor's looked away awkwardly. Scorpius changed the subject. "You should probably get going Hermione."
"I don't think I will be going actually." Hermione said as she looked down at her empty breakfast plate.
"Cassi won't take no for an answer you know. And maybe Ginny would actually like to go." Hermione just shrugged. Scorpius rolled his eyes and looked at the oak doors that lead to the great hall. There he found the youngest Weasley headed toward Harry at the Gryffindor table.
"Morning." She said as she seated herself between Harry and Hermione.
"Hey Ginny? Cassi invited you and Hermione to Hogsmead to go shopping. You interested?" Scorpius asked.
Hermione groaned and Ginny smiled. "Yeah! I'll go!"
"Or," Ron interrupted. "Do you want to play Quidditch with us?"
"No, I play Quidditch with you guys all the time. It isn't often Hermione agrees to go shopping."
"I didn't agree Ginny."
"Too bad, you're going." Ginny said while putting some eggs and bacon on her empty plate.
"Greengrass and Parkinson will also be going." Ron tried again to change his sister's mind.
"Oh well. I have been wanting to officially meet the other Lancaster sibling. The one we have is just so yummy." Ginny said with a small smirk.
"GINNY!" Harry reprimanded.
Ginny laughed. "Calm down Harry. I was only joking. I still love you." Ron gagged, Harry blushed and Scorpius looked uncomfortable. "When are we going?" Ginny asked putting a fork full on eggs into her mouth and eating it.
"She didn't actually say." Hermione answered.
"She will find you when it is time, don't worry." Scorpius said.
"A part of me hopes she forgets." Hermione said as she got up from the table and left.
