Snape had called the night bus for you and your friends. You were dropped off and given directions to the place you'd be staying. He gave you all muggle money and told you to get muggle clothes. Then he got back on the night bus and disappeared into the night.
"Ware do we get muggle clothes?" Ron asked.
"Um, this late? I don't know, well, Snape said that we are in Midland Michigan. And to find a Walmart."
"Ya, and I think that our school robes should be put inside our bags, no matter how cold it is."
"You're right, muggles aren't used to seeing people dressed as we are."
You all walk around town until you spot the Walmart. You walk in and each perches clothes that felt comfortable. You then took a bus to the middle of the countryside part of town. You were at a small blue farmhouse. You walked up the drive and rang the doorbell. A woman answered. "OH! You must be the kids from England! I am Marry. You'll be staying with me. Come on in!! How were your travels?"
"Just fine, thank you." Hermione said with a smile. "I'm Hermione Granger."
"Nice to meet you, Hermione."
"I'm Ron, this is Harry and Rose."
"And that's my brother Draco." You say pointing at your brother who wasn't in the least bit happy to be there. He was leaning in the doorway with his arms crossed, a scowl on his face. "Please excuse him, he doesn't want to be here."
"Oh, that's quite alright. Now, this is a working farm, you will have to do work wile you are hear."
You shrug. In Canada you had spent some time on a muggle farm. It was an assignment for your muggle studies class. "I've done farm work before."
"Well good! Hear, I have different chores in this hat, I want each of you to choose one." You reach into the hat and pull out a slip of paper. feed the sheep, goats, and cows also milk the cows.'
"What's manure?" asked Ron. "Mine says shovel all the manure.' And I don't know what that is."
"Manure is another word for dung or poop." You say giggling.
"UG!" Hermione had to feed the chickens and other birds and gather eggs, Harry had to care for the horses and donkeys, and Draco had to feed the smaller animals like cats, dogs, rabbits…
You and Hermione were sharing a small room. You unpacked the few things you had and sat on a bed. "I don't think Draco being hear is a good idea. You know how he is." You sigh.
"Ya, he and muggles don't mix."
"I just hope he behaves himself!"
The next morning you got up early and went out to do your morning chores. You had woken Hermione so she could do hers too. You and Hermione walk into the kitchen, you carried the milk and she the eggs "Thank you girls! You can put them over there. Now have some breakfast." You sat down at the table and loaded your plate with food. "The school bus will be here to pick you all up in about ten minuets."
The bright yellow school bus with black lettering on it pulled up and opened it's doors for you. You are the first on the bus. All the other students look at you like you came from outer space. You sit in the front row, Hermione beside you, Harry and Ron in the seat behind you and Draco across the isle from you on his own. He crossed his arms and scowled. "Oh, come on Draco!! Stop it! It won't get you back to England any faster!!" you hiss.
"Shut up Rose!" he hissed back.
You, Draco, and your friends step into the principal's office. "Sir? We are the students from England."
"Ah, yes, Dumbledore's students. Have a seat!" he said in an over cheerful voice. He closed the door and sat behind his over-tidy desk. "I am a muggle. Just so you know. But my sister is a witch. So I understand your, erm, uniqueness." He said staying chipper. "Here is your class schedules. If you have any questions just ask me!"
You left his office and as a group made your way through the crowded halls. Harry grabbed you hand as he walked beside you and Draco gave him the death stair.
You found muggle classes quite dull and pointless. They were teaching you things that you had learned as a small child, only without a bit of magic added in to it. You sat in your world Literature class, dozing off when the teacher, Mr. Tomraids snapped his pointer on your desk. "Miss Malfoy! I do not take kindly to people sleeping in my class."
"I'm sorry sir, but I find this class to be dull. I already know all this stuff."
"Oh? Do you now?"
"Yes."
"And what were we talking about?"
"Shakespeare."
"Can you tell us something about his life?"
"Of coarse!! He was a great writer, he is the reason we have concession stands in movie houses today only back then they sold meat pies and tomatoes. People thought that tomatoes were poison so they chucked them at the actors they didn't like. He was also an actor and director, he-"
"Alright! That's enough."
You stud in the lunch line looking at all the greasy food they had to offer. "UG! Don't they have ANYTHING good?" you mutter to yourself.
"Nope, your stuck with grease balls painted up to look like what they call food!" said a girl next to you. You had a different lunch period than your friends.
"Goodie." You say rolling your eye at the food.
"You're new here, aren't you?"
"Ya, I came hear for a little wile from England. I go to a Boarding School there."
"Really? Cool!! I'm Crystal."
"Rose, Rosemarie Malfoy." You smile at her.
"Hey, want to sit with me and my friends?"
"Why not? All my friends from England have first lunch!!"
You follow her to a table in a corner. "Hey guys! This is Rose, she's from England!" Crystal said.
"Hello." You say nodding at the group of girls and two boys.
"Hey!"
"This is Sam, Christen, Danielle, Alyssa, Kayla, Katie, Amy, Star, Kirk, and Dan." Katie and Amy were twins and the two guys were there boyfriends. Katie+Kirk, Amy+Dan you sat next to Star and smiled.
"So, your from England?"
"Ya."
"COOL!! I've always wanted to go there!!" Danielle said.
"What are the boys like over there?" asked Sam.
"Erm, I really never think of guys…"
"What?"
"I mean I have had boyfriends, but the first one's family hated me, the second one was a two-timer, and the one I have now is sweet."
"What's his name?"
"Harry Potter."
You saw Star look at you oddly but she hid it quickly. You spent lunch getting to know them. The bell rang and the group went there separate ways. Star ran up behind you and you fell into step with her so you could talk. "Hey!"
"Hi, um, Rose?"
"Ya?"
Star leaned into your ear. "Are you a witch?"
"What?"
"Well, you are going out with Harry Potter, and he's a…"
"Are you a…"
"Yes, only Mom's a muggle and Dad died a year ago so mom is making me go to a muggle school. I never really know him."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"So, what's Harry Potter, the boy who lived, like?!"
"Erm,"
A pare of hands covered your eyes. "Hey!"
"Hi Harry, Well, Star, How about you find out for your self?"
"OH MY GOD!! YOU'RE HARRY POTTER!!" she exclaimed wide-eyed.
"Um… Yes…?"
You Giggle, "This is star. She's, erm, not a muggle." You say lowly so the muggles wouldn't hear you.
"Oh, nice to meet you, Star?"
"Oh, that's not my real name, but I don't like my real name."
"Reasonable enough!" Harry Laughed.
"So, Is You Know Who really back in power?"
"Yes, unfortunately. That's actually why we are here.
After school let out you and your friends had missed the bus and had to walk home. Star had decided to go with you. Draco was still acting like an ars and was walking away from the group. There was a loud pop behind you and you turn to see someone in death eater's robes.
"Well, Mr. Potter, you were a hard one to find!" You recognized the voice but couldn't place it. "Well, I would kill you but my lord would rather do that himself…" he muttered a spell and it hit him. Harry screamed in pain and fell to his knees. The death eater smirked, "We have new spells, like them? They cause much pain!" he muttered something again and you pushed Harry out of the way, you see Harry land in some dirt as you felt the spell hit you and everything went black.
You grown as the sun hits your face, you slowly let your eyes flicker open and you sit up looking around. You knew you were in a hospital by the white walls. The room was empty. You shift uneasily and try to swing your legs over the side of the bed. You couldn't. The door swung open and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Star walked in. "ROSE!! YOU'RE UP!!"
"How are you feeling?"
"A bit dizzy, and I can't feel or move my legs… What happened? All I remember is missing the muggle school bus."
"You can't feel your legs?"
"No."
"You were hit with a spell by a death eater."
"What? A death eater? Was it my father?"
"No, he's still in jail."
"And this is a muggle hospital, by the way."
The door opened again and a muggle doctor stepped in. "Good to see you up, Miss Malfoy. I was beginning to worry. You have been out for a week. How are you feeling?"
"Um, Dizzy and I can't feel my legs."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"No."
A week later you were released from the hospital, but had not regained use of your legs. The doctors had said it might be permanent. Your chores had been changed, you now had the birds and Hermione had the small animals, Draco had the barn duties, Ron had the sheep and cows, and Harry's didn't change. You had a hard time getting used to the wheelchair the doctors had given you.
You were collecting eggs when someone placed their hand on your shoulder. You turn to see Draco. "Hey," you say and turn back to your work.
"Rose, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I haven't been much of a brother lately… when you really needed me to."
"Draco, you…"
"I didn't even visit you in that bloody hospital!! And now you… you can't walk. I feel bad fore you, Rose, I feel guilty."
"It's not your fault!"
"No, I know it's not, but… I should have been there for you. And I have decided to be a brother again. And try to get to know your friends… and Potter…"
"Well, the first step would be to use their first names, and not call Hermione a Mudblood."
"I know, but let's take it one step at a time, first I want to fix our relationship."
"Thanks, Draco." You said giving him a week smile. You hadn't truly smiled since before the attack that took your legs, possibly forever.
Draco gave you a small hug, he smelled like the manure he had been shoveling. You giggle. "What?"
"You smell like manure, were you shoveling the stuff or rolling around in it?"
"Oh, Haha, Rose, real witty."
You smile innocently at him and mess with his sweaty hair. "I know!" you set the basket of eggs aside so they wouldn't get broken. "And I smell good too!"
"OH!! You are in for it now!!"
"Draco? NO!"
He picked you up from your chair and started walking to the barns. "Hey, you forced this on yourself!"
"NO!! DRACO! PLEASE!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!!" Your brother gave you a smirk as he went in the doors of the barn. "Hey! I wouldn't do this to you if you were the one in a bloody wheelchair!! Please!! I'm sorry, okay?" Draco stopped. "Please! If you toss me in that pile, I'll take you with me!! And you know I could!!"
"Fine, you win. But no more smart remarks towards me."
"Agreed! Now could you please return me to that bloody chair that are my legs?"
Draco put you back into your chair and pushed you back to the house. You set the eggs on the counter and took out a soda. "Draco, Star Hermione and the guys and I are going out tonight, want to come?"
"Erm,"
"OH, COME ON!! You said you wanted to get to know my friends better!!"
"Fine." You smile at him and make your way to yours and Hermione's room.
"A bit slower today, hu?" Hermione asked as she saw you.
"Ya… well Draco tried to dump me in the manure pile…"
"What?!"
"I made a comment that he smelled like it, so he, you know, carried me there to toss me in." you laughed.
Harry pushed you down the path of the park and talked to Ron as you talked to Hermione and Star. Draco followed silently, looking uncomfortable.
"Rose? Is that you Malfoy?" asked a girls voice further up the path. You recognized it at once.
"Fern? Fern Hoshi?"
"WHAT HAPPENED?!!"
"I was attacked by a death eater."
Your old friend's eyes got wide. "What? But I thought that they didn't exist anymore!!"
"Nope. What are you doing hear? Shouldn't you be in Canada?"
"Muggle studies. What about you? England is a long way from hear."
"Um, that's a hard one to say, it's a really long story…"
"Hey, Rose, ware did that brother of yours get to?" asked Ron looking around. You look behind you and saw that Draco was gone.
"Draco?"
"Malfoy! This isn't funny you git!!"
"RON!!"
"Sorry."
"DRACO! GET OUT HEAR!!"
He didn't come.
"Maybe we should look for him?" Hermione suggested.
"Ya, I'll go back down the path. It'll be easier for me with this bloody wheelchair." You sigh. The group separates and you go back down the path looking for your brother.
You hear footsteps approaching you and you turn to face them. "Draco?"
"No, It's me. I thought you should go with someone."
"Star. Ya, thanks, it is getting kind of dark out here."
You and Star walk, or I should say she guided your wheelchair along the darkened path. Suddenly she stopped. "Do you hear that?"
"What?"
Star put her finger to her lips and made a shushing sound. She crept up to a bush and looked through its branches. She gave a small gasp and looked over at you. "I found your brother."
"What?" you wheel yourself over to the large bush and looked. Death eaters surrounded Draco. His wand was snapped in half and he looked about to cry, looking at it. "Star, we have to do something." You whisper
She nodded. "But what? There is only so much that we can do."
"We both have our wands. That's got to count for something."
She nodded and pulled out her wand, you do the same. "But you can't run if something goes wrong."
"I'll have to take that chance."
Hermione came up behind you. "What are yo-"
"SHH!! Look."
She looked and gave a small gasp. She edged forward a bit more to get a closer look but a twig snapped under her foot. A few death eaters turned around and sent some spells towards ware you were hiding. A spell hit your chair and it fell into an unrecognizable heap. You fell with the debris of your chair with a gasp. Hermione and Star started to help you up and support you as the death eaters ran to see who you were.
"Well, Look here, the other Malfoy Child!" Said the Death eater who had cast the spell that hit your chair. "LUCIUS!! Your daughter is here too!"
Your father jogged over to the group of death eaters that surrounded you, as he pulled down his hood.
"So they broke you out, eh?" you ask glairing at your father.
"Come here!" he demanded.
"HA! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't!" you said nodding at the wreckage at your feet.
Your father gave you a look filled with anger and confusion. "She's right dad!" Draco said from were he stud, being restrained by death eaters. "You see, we had a little run-in with one of your death eater friends, and Rose got hit with a spell."
"And now I can't use my bloody legs! And that idiot Destroyed my wheelchair!" you say pointing your wand at the death eater.
"Rose…"
"I know, Hermione!"
"Draco, help your sister." Your father barked.
"No, I think Hermione and Star has it."
"You'd let your sister be touched by a MUDBLOOD?!!"
"HERMIONE IS NOT A MUDBLOOD!! YOU ARE!" You shout.
"ME? You MUST be joking!"
"Mudblood means dirty blood' ones parents dose not dirty your blood, personality dose! And frankly, being a death eater gives you a filthy personality! You're as bad as they come!" you spat at him.
Your fathers face was red from anger. "I raised you better than that!" he hissed.
"No, I've always thought this way, you just never knew it." You say coldly.
"Wow, this is acword." Star sighed in your ear, but Lucius heard.
"I'd keep quiet if I were you, Muggle!"
"Who are you calling a muggle, Blondie?" Star demanded. "I happen to be a halfblood!"
A death eater stepped forward and grabbed Star, pulling her away a bit. From the sudden lack of support you collapsed in a heap. The death eater shoved her face up to meat his gaze. "It can't be," he whispered.
"What?"
"Black! This is Sirius Blacks girl!"
"What? It can't be, His daughter's name is…"
"Star's NOT my real name, idiot!! It's a nickname! I'm Marie Black."
"Small world. So, ware have you been staying?"
"My mother, who else?" she said in an annoyed tone."
"Ah, and who would that be?"
"Brenda, the MUGGLE!"
"Is that what you think?" said a female's voice from the circle. A death eater stepped forward and lowered her hood. "You, my dear, are a Pureblood."
"And, you are…?" you asked glairing at her.
"Bellatrix Lestrange, your second cousin on your father's side." She said to star
By this time Draco had helped Hermione pick you up. Star was staring wide-eyed at Bellatrix.
"Bella…"
"You see, Marie my dear, your mother is dead."
"Bella! As much as we enjoy you telling your kin the truth, we are here on death eaters business." Lucius said.
"Right."
"And what business would that be? You after Harry? Well, he's not here as you can see." Hermione said coldly.
"For once we're not after Potter. We want her, Potter would be but a bonus." Bella sneered pointing at you.
"Why me?"
"You're alive, and you shouldn't be."
"You were hit with two killing curses, and lived. You walked away with a scar…"
"I DIDN'T WALK AWAY! I lost my legs!"
There was a loud pop and a cold voice hisses; "How long does it take you to do one simple thing?! My Lord is getting impatient!"
You turn to see a short chubby man. You did not recognize this person, but Hermione did. "Wormtale." She hissed.
Star walked back over to you and took Hermione's spot
in holding you up. Hermione pointed her wand at the new death eater.
"YOU EVIL TRAITOR!! I WISH HARRY WOULD HAVE LET LUPIN AND SIRIUS
KILL YOU!"
"Hermione?!" you gasp. This was so unlike
her.
"Out of my way, Mudblood!" he hissed sending a spell at her. It hit her and she fell to the ground, not moving.
"HERMIONE!!"
"You- you didn't KILL her, did you?" Star gasped.
He didn't say anything; he just nodded at Bella and the death eaters closed in on you, Star, and Draco. "OUT SON." Your father said pushing Draco away and then you heard a pop as you began spinning thru space, the familiar feeling of a portkey.
