Ahh! Sorry for the lateness of this chapter. To those of you who are new here, the story was originally set during the Goblet of Fire, but I pushed it to The Order of the Phoenix because it fitted with the ideas I had better. I also edited some mistakes I made. I'll stop blabbering now and get on with the story.
I do not own Harry Potter or any of these characters (well, a part from my OC's).
A Malfoy and a Weasley
Chapter 2
My eyes slowly opened as I felt the train slow. I closed them again, hoping to snooze for at least five more minutes. I felt someone grip my shoulder and shake me violently. My eyes shot open and I glared up at the red haired boy grinning down at me
"Up you get" he said, cheerily
"Fuck off" I snapped
"Someones grouchy" said the boy I knew as George
"Language, Malfoy" said his twin, Fred, who had suddenly appeared from behind him "Ladies aren't supposed to swear"
"Shut-up" I said resting my head back against the window and closing my eyes. I suddenly felt someone grab my arm and yank me up
"Fucking hell!" I shouted, slapping at the twin who had pulled me up.
"Steady on!" he said, grabbing my wrists
"Let go of me, Fred" I said, I couldn't help but smile a little
"How do you know I'm Fred?" he said, smirking
"It's easy, George is the pretty one" I said, laughing slightly
"See, Malfoy agrees" said George, shoving his brother
"Can you guys not call me Malfoy?" I said frowning "I don't like my family as it is, I don't really want to be reminded that I'm part of it". The twins shrugged and we all filed out of the carriage.
We stepped out on to the platform, I shivered as the cold air hit me.
"Cold, Malfoy?" said Fred. I frowned at him "I mean..." he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly
"Are you fucking serious?" I said "I can tell you and George a part and you can't even remember my name"
"It begins with an L" said Fred "I know that"
"It's Lyra, you daft git" I said laughing "Try and remember it or next time I might have to punch you"
"Firs' years this way!" I suddenly heard a booming voice say, I turned to see a crowd of first years gathering around an extremely tall, bearded man
"Well, I'm going this way" I said pointing behind me "Bye George" I said, giving him a small wave
"Seeya Lyra" he said
I turned to Fred "Bye...Oh sorry, I don't remember your name, starts with an F, right?"
"Shut-up" said Fred, he reached out and flicked the end of my nose "Goodbye Lyra" he said putting extra emphasis on my name.
I smirked and walked away.
I began to follow the first years, feeling extremely awkward as I was a good deal taller than all of them. I looked down at the first year next to me, to my surprise (and annoyance) she was already gawping up at me
"What?" I said, raising an eyebrow
"You're very tall" said the girl, she had long dirty blonde hair and very large blue eyes, she had a small amount of freckles scattered over her nose which gave her that typical cutesy little girl look which I found irritating
"That's because I'm sixteen and you're eleven" I said in a matter-of-factly voice "Why are you with the first years then?" she said frowning "Are you lost?"
"Actually I've just joined" I said trying to show the annoyance in my voice so she'd stop talking to me
"My name is Aimee Hatton" she said "Half-blood" she added proudly, she had a very loud, high pitched voice which made her even more annoying than she already was
"Lyra Malfoy" I muttered "Pureblood"
The girl continued to talk as we all got into the boats. It looked like I'd have to refrain from throwing my new "friend" into the water, as much as I wanted to.
My brothers description of Hogwarts was extremely inaccurate. He had described it as "dull" and "not nearly as grand as people say", in my opinion it was one of the most amazing places I'd ever seen. I couldn't help but stare like an idiot as we drew closer and closer, even Aimee had shut-up to stare. Everything about it was…well, magical.
After the boat ride, Aimee began to talk again, much to my dismay, she was told to be quiet over seven times by a professor before she eventually stopped.
We entered the Great Hall, as much as I wanted to gaze in wonder at every object in the room, I kept my cool, well, I tried to, I was made difficult by Aimee practically clinging onto my legs and whispering "Look at that" every five seconds. I heard people whispering as I walked past them, "Who's she?" "Is that Malfoy's sister?" and "Look at that extremely tall first year" were just a few things I heard. We stood in front of a stool with a battered hat placed on it, names began to be called out as each child was put into their houses. My brother had told me of his sorting, the hat had barely touched his head before it shrieked "Slytherin", according to him. I felt Aimee slip her hand into mine, I looked down at her, she looked terrified, I sighed and gave her hand a small squeeze
"Hatton, Aimee"
"Go" I mouthed at her, she nodded and walked to the stool, the hat was placed on her head "Gryffindor!" the hat shouted. The Gryffindor table erupted into cheers and applause, she smile brightly as the hat was lifted off her head and she ran to the Gryffindor table. The names carried on being read out until it eventually got to my name "Malfoy, Lyra" Whisperings filled the room as I sat on the stool and the hat was placed on my head
"Hmm" it said "Difficult...very difficult, your family have all been Slytherin's yet you posses the qualities of a different house"
"Get it over with" I thought
"Better be...Gryffindor!" a few claps came from the Gryffindor table, which I assumed to be Fred and George, whisperings filled the hall once again. I walked to the Gryffindor table, painfully aware of the stares. The names continued being read out and the cheering began again. I found Fred and George and took a seat next to Fred, I was pleased I was a Gryffindor, yet I couldn't help but think about how pissed off my father would be, Draco was bound to tell him.
The sorting ended and the feast began, as I began piling my plate with the delicious looking food in front of me I heard a familiar voice say my name, I looked up and saw the grinning face of Aimee across the table
"Hey Aimee" I said
"You're a Gryffindor to!" she said, hardly containing the excitement in her voice "Damn right she is" said Fred, putting his arm around me
"Are you to boyfriend and girlfriend?" squeaked Aimee, wide-eyed
"No" I said quickly, I could feel myself blush
"Said that a bit quickly" said Fred, raising an eyebrow
"Shut-up Fred" I said, looking down at my food
"Oh, great, another Malfoy" I heard a girl say, I kept my eyes glued to my plate "Leave it Ang" said one of the twins, which I assumed to be George
"She can't hear me anyway" the girl said "She's just going to be a girl version of her brother"
"She's actually not that bad"
"Oh please, George, just because she has tits doesn't mean she's a good person" she girl laughed slightly "Not like she has any by the looks of it"
I looked down at my chest self consciously, it was true, I was quite flat chested, but that didn't give this girl any reason to point it out
"OK listen up" I looked up and glared at the girl, she looked at me in surprise "Yes, I can fucking hear for your information, also if you want to talk shit about me, say it to my face" The girl opened her mouth to say something else but I cut her off "I'm one more snide comment away from drowning you in the mashed potatoes, got that?" I looked back at the first years, including Aimee, who were looking at me wide eyed
"I apologise for my language" I said before continuing to eat. I spent the rest of the meal talking to Aimee seeing as Fred and George were still talking to the girl who had offended me. As annoying as she was, I was beginning to grow fond of Aimee, I listened intently as she talked about her pet cat and her crush on the boy who lived next door to her. I was sort of envious of her, she had lived a normal life (well, sort of normal) she had lived on a normal street with normal people, she had been to birthday parties and sleepovers. I, however, had spent my childhood cooped up inside with only my parents and a few house elves for company. When the feast ended, Dumbledore began to give speech, I began to drift off during it, I began thinking about who I'd be sharing a dorm with and whether it would be wise to find Draco and pick a fight with him after the feast. I quickly drifted back again when I heard a high-pitched "hem-hem". I sat up, trying to see where the sound had come from, I saw a woman dressed entirely in pink stand up and make her way in front of Dumbledore.
"Is it legal for someone to wear that much pink?" I whispered
I heard Fred laugh softly and then whisper "Probably not"
"Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me" I frowned slightly, she was already beginning to annoy me "I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends"
"That's likely" I heard Fred and George say, I smirked, holding back a laugh
"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of a vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited"
"Thank-you, Professor Umbridge" said Dumbledore "That really was most illuminating"
I turned to look at Fred and George "I want to throw something at her, like some food" I shrugged "Or a knife" They both laughed
I followed Fred and George out of the Great Hall
"Well, that was... eventful" I sighed
"Well, at least we have a new professor the prank" said George, shrugging
"And we have a firework maker now" added Fred pointing at me
"Hello sister" I heard a familiar voice say
"Draco" I said turning around
"Gryffindor, eh?" he smirked "Father will be...amused to hear about this"
I took a step closer "I'm sure he will" Draco's eyes drifted to the twins who were now stood either side of me "I can't say I admire your choice in friends" he said "Lyra, I can't say I admire your choice in siblings" said Fred
"Shut your mouth, Weasley" said Draco, glaring at him
"Make us" said Fred and George in unison, stepping forward "He isn't worth it" I said grabbing both Fred and George's wrists "Come on let's go"
The twins sighed and let me drag them off
"We could had easily pounded him into the ground" said George as we entered
"I don't doubt that, but Draco would tell my father who would probably go ape shit at your father and then Merlin knows what would happen to your family"
The twins nodded
"Well...goodnight Lyra" said George
"Yeah, goodnight" said Fred
"Goodnight my new boytoys" I said smirking "Have pleasant dreams of...Quidditch or girls or mud or whatever you guys dream about"
The twins laughed "Will do" they said together.
So. Much. Dialogue. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. I'm really excited to put up the next chapter. Toodles for now!
