Chapter 5

"Professor, I don't think they walked out on you on purpose. They must have a reason….." fretted Hermione, more to herself than t the professor. "Relax child, I only wanted to know their names" interrupt Professor Miriam.

"Err… Shaun and Shelia Li, professor," replied Hermione. "Thank you darling, now may I know your name and house they are from?" "Um… my name is Hermione Granger and Shaun's from Gryffindor while Shelia's from Slytherin…" replied Hermione. "Thank you, Ms Granger. Alas time has flown past and the lesson has come to an end. Class is dismissed!" Professor Miriam exclaimed with a wave of her hand.

As they walked out of the class, Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione decided to find Shaun and Shelia. "Lets try the Gryffindor common room first shall we?" suggested Draco. The rest nodded and fall into pace with each other. Harry sighed. He thank god with all his heart that professor Dumbledore allowed them to visit each other's common room on a condition that you must have a friend of that house with you.

"You know, I have been thinking," began Draco. Harry turned his face to look at his friend who was looking down. "I would have never been able to make friends with you guys if not for Shaun and Shelia," he continued.

"Yeah! Ever since those two came, Hogwarts definitely has been going under severe "construction", "noted Hermione. " Look, Pansy started hanging out with Lavender and Pravati, Neville's with Crabbe and Goyle and none of them could be seen without a herbology book!" Ron added. "Yup strange things are going on here, even the teachers are changing! I have never seen Snape smiled so much in one day before!" Harry agreed. "But it is not such a bad thing at all right?" Draco asked. "Definitely" the rest chorused.

"Come on guys let's go find the 'saviors' of Hogwarts!" exclaimed Harry. The rest answered by quickening their pace. Silence spoke while the four hurried down the corridor, only stopping in front of the portrait of the fat lady.

"Fierus" said Harry to the fat lady. "No need to rush dears. There is no one else except the twins inside you know" grumbled the fat lady as she swung open. The four stepped in, delighted in knowing that their friends are here. Heavenly music greeted them as the walked in. They swung their heads in that direction and found their friends by the fireplace. Shaun was seating on the armchair facing directly facing the fireplace with his head in his hands while Shelia was sitting on the floor below him. She too was facing the fireplace and the music came from her.

The four stepped forward cautiously in fear of spoiling the heavenly music. As the reached the duo, Harry gasped. Shelia was playing an instrument similar to Professor Miriam! Except that her playing's much nicer to hear. Shaun raised his head at the gasp and looked around.

He spotted Harry and gang and gave a small smile. But Harry knew something was wrong. The boy in front of him was not the cheerful one he saw at breakfast. Draco also noticed this and asked "Shaun are you alright?" "Yes I am fine" he replied. "Just being relieved of a couple of unwanted memories" he added after seeing the disbelief on their faces. "Really I am fine," he assured them. "Okay then, we will take your word for it then" said Draco but his face still showed some doubts.

"Hey Shaun?" asked Hermione. "Yes, Hermione?" replied Shaun. Harry was shocked to hear stains of irritation in his tone. "What's up with Shelia? I mean she just keep staring at the fire playing her guzheng." "I don't know Hermione' Shaun replied while placing a hand on Shelia's shoulder. Harry couldn't help but feel suspicious. Something fishy was going on with his two friends. The Sherlock Holmes was stirring inside him but he was still unsure.

Just then a "strang" and a sigh could be heard. Shelia ran her fingers through the strings, gave a sigh and slump against the armchair which her brother was occupying. She laid her head on her brother's lap and said tiredly

"Hey guys," before stiffing a yawn. The four gasped. They had never seen or heard Shelia acting this way before. Shaun hid the smile on his face well but he was bursting with laughter inside. "Wow, you actually played the guzheng! I thought it was quite hard" exclaimed Hermione, eyeing the guzheng as though she wanted to have a go on it. Harry rolled his eyes. Trust Hermione to take advantage of Shelia acting like that.

"Well I have been learning since, since I could walk, I think" replied Shelia, casting a look of pride at the object in front of her. Shaun smiled and petted her head. "Always the musical one huh?" he teased. Shelia's mouth lifted a bit.

"And you, always the artistic one huh? Come to think of it, how come I haven't seen you painting anything yet?" she retorted.

"No inspiration my cute little sister. As you see, I still prefer calligraphy to all the other types of western paintings." He replied with a smirk on his face that made him an exact replica of his father. Which of course, he is, except for his eyes and that his hair is of a lighter color then his dad. They were his mother's.

Shelia forced a tiny smile out and struggled to fight back tears. She looked away from her brother and a frown found it's was to her face when she saw Hermione reaching out to touch her guzheng. Of course that hand moved away after its owner was being treated to the famous Li's glare.

Shaun noticed his sister looking away and realized he must have reminded her of their "dead" father. "What am I talking about? Father's not dead, he is just missing, he will be back, and he never lied to us before." thought Shaun as he shook his head.

"妹妹， 没事吧?" he asked knowing fully well wad made her turn away. "哥哥，我没事。我累了，我先去睡。晚安!" Shelia replied, rubbing her eyes. She picked up her guzheng and made her way to her dorm.

"晚安"Shaun repeated. "Shaun, what did you guys said just now?" Harry asked. Draco nodded his head eagerly, languages being one of his favorites subject. "We just bid each other good night. Come to think of it, I am rather tired myself. I think I am going to bed. Goodnight." With that, Shaun stood up and went to his room.

"Whoa, what's up with them?" Draco exclaimed. "Did you guys notice anything funny about them?" Harry asked. "Yea, they seem more preoccupied then usual" Draco answered. Harry then realized Hermione and Ron had disappeared. He looked around the room and saw……………
