Chapter 2:
As I was stomping around my room showing my displeasure to all of those beneath me, I realized something.
If Mr. Malfoy had a son, why was he so intent on fathering my brothers? Wasn't Draco enough, he seemed like a handful enough by himself, without the company of another three boys. Oh well, who will ever understand men?
I never realized my room was so…square, I mean, one wall has a door leading to my closet, one wall had double doors to my balcony, another has a door to my bathroom, and the last wall is to my sitting room. (Since my mother is under the impression that nobody should enter a young lady's room, she should come out of it, the only way out of my room is through my sitting room.) My bed is circular and hangs from the middle of my room.
It's nice spend a few hours in, but being cooped up in it all day isn't all that great. I wish I could re-decorate my room, but, my mom is too lazy, and I can't use magic out of Hogwarts.
Wait. Malfoy used magic when he silenced and leg-locked my brother! Draco Malfoy used magic out of school without getting in trouble! He didn't look 17, I mean, he looks like he's thirteen, maybe fourteen, but definitely not older than me!
You know what? I'm going to see how he did that! It's not like I have anything else to do!
I hate living in this house. It is the best place to have a party, because there is more than enough room. When you are looking for someone… well, it's a wild goose chase. I guess I can only start with where I left them, Josh's room.
The boys were right where I left them, in Josh's sitting room, playing wizard's chess. Malfoy vs. Adam, and it looked like Malfoy was winning.
"You bastard!" Adam roared when Malfoy's queen took out his rook.
" Ha, and I believe that is checkmate?" Malfoy said, then, noticing me, he smirked "lurking about Janny again?"
"Iiii ccame ttto aaask yyyou aaa question?" Real smooth Janessa, real smooth.
"And what would that question be?"
"Hhhow dddid yyyou" I managed to stutter before I regained my posture " do magic without getting in trouble?"
"Are you telling me, that your brothers never told you the best slytherin secret?" Malfoy managed to wheeze out "Even Josh knows, and he was sorted into Ravenclaw before he was moved to Durmstrang!" He then fell back laughing while Adam tackled him, and Josh and Tim glared at him.
"Tell me what?" why am I always kept in the dark?
"Since the ministry can't pin-point exactly who does the magic in a household, as long as there are at least two of age wizards or witches in a home, all minors theoretically could do magic without getting caught" Tim said, avoiding my gaze
Without another thought, I ran up the stairs to my room, grabbed my wand, and placed a silencing spell on myself, and sprinted back down again.
I stomped silently over to Josh's door, which was conveniently open, crept in, and lifted the silencing spell. "OPPUNGO!" I screeched.
A flock of silver hummingbird started attacking my brothers and Draco, as they shouted with pain.
"Next time you'll think to tell me things like this!" I said with a huff. "Accio Birds"
The birds zoomed over to me, and I pointed the to the open windows across the room. They flew in a swarm out, and onto a tree that leaned against the balcony.
I turned around to bow at my brothers when I saw two things: Malfoy shooting a curse of some sort at me, and my mother looking…well, like she was about to explode.
"Janessa Tiffanie Williams what were you thinking? You could've been caught, you could have LOST YOU WAND TO THE MINISTRY" my mother yelled at the top of her lungs. Showing me that sometimes she does care "THEN WHAT WOULD WE TELL EVERYONE? YOU DROPPED OUT? ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN OUR FAMILY HISTORY?" ah, there is the mother I know, always thinking about the "image". "DRACO, I AM ESPECIALLY EMBARRASSED THAT YOU THINK MY PARENTING IS SO BAD THAT I CANNOT TELL WHEN MY CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE PREFORMING MAGIC?
"You snitch, I when I get my hands on you…you've gotten us in trouble" I hissed to Malfoy who was sitting next to me.
"Don't worry, I can get myself out of anything!" he hissed back.
"What about me?"
"She's your mother, manipulate her!"
"AND WHEN YOUR FATHER, JANESSA, HEARS ABOUT THIS HE WILL…" my mother stopped her rant, and slowly backed away, shocked, and trying to figure out what she had just said.
"My father? My father! You've been talking to him? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" I shouted.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Draco looking wide-eyed at me, and slowly backing away.
"Why does nobody ever think that I can handle the truth? WHY DOES EVERYBODY TREAT ME LIKE I AM NOT WORTH THE TIME IT TAKES TO EXPLAIN THINGS????" I yelled, as I ran to the door, and up too my room.
When I got to my bed I collapsed, and started crying. I cried for the agony of not being trusted with information, I cried because although I like being the individual in the family, the different one, I had one nagging thought that maybe I'd be like my dad, but I thought I would never find out, because he's had no contact with us for the past thirteen years.
I stopped crying when I heard a knock on my door. "Who?" I managed to say without my voice cracking.
"Three males( if you count Tim), two of age, one that will be of age in three years. We usually go by Josh, Tim, and Adam, but you may call us Nitwit, Flubber, and Incredibly Handsome Man."
I giggled as I got off my bed and ran over to the door. "Well, well, well, why are you a-knocking at my door?"
"We've come to apologize rosebud!" Tim said softly, looking down.
"Well, I'm not accepting it, I'm not mad, but I'm not going to forgive you that easily," I stopped, as I saw their face fall. "I mean I could have re-done my room AGES ago, do you know what that has done to my fragile mind?" I finished, giggling again.
"Now that out lovey-dovey family moment is over, can I talk to Janessa?"
"Who's that?" I asked, trying to peak over my brother's shoulders.
"Malfoy, he won't admit it, but you saved his hide, Mother would have told his father, and he would have gotten whipped, badly." Josh said, with an air of nonchalance.
"Just let me say my thanks, so I can take a shower and wash this moment off of me!" Malfoy then stalked up to me, looked me in the eyes and said "Thanks" He proceeded to stalk off, most likely to Josh's floor.
"When will he leave?" I asked, praying for my brothers to tell me, he was leaving in ten minutes.
"He's here for about a week and a half, while his dad does some campaigning." He's staying in Josh's guest room, since he's only a year younger than you guys." Adam said, while glancing back at the door to my hallway. He cleared his throat . "Mom's having a dinner party tonight, so who's your escort Nessa?"
"whose turn is it to be tortured?" Tim said softly with a malicious gleam in his eye. " I had the pleasure last party, so Adam, Josh, she's all yours."
I stuck my tongue at him "Fine I'll go with Adam!"
"Score!" Tim said mischievously, "Josh went last time"
"Jerk!" I glared at him mockingly, before I flounced into my bathroom to get ready for tonight.
