You honestly did not expect Kristen to walk through that door and neither did anyone else. After she made her comment about the pancakes Anna was overly enjoying, everyone just stared at her like she was crazy. A thought that was running through everyone's head was how she knew that. She sat down and started talking to everyone. You maybe forgot to mention that she won 'Most Talkative' out of your grade in school.

"So Kristen, how do you know Raya's dad?" Blaise asked.

"I'm actually not sure. My mom and dad said that I was going away for this summer to a camp of some sort, but when they were about to leave at this fireplace they said it wasn't camp but for their boss to do something with me or to me I'm not sure I kind of tuned out wondering why I was a t a fireplace. Then they shoved me in it and through powder at me and yelled something. It was frikin weird as I don't know what man. I saw green flames engulf me and thought I was going to die. Then I ended up here." She turned to you. "Did you know you have huge rats? You might want to get an exterminator. I had this cousin in Brooklyn who had rats at her apartment and they were almost as big. Her's didn't talk to me though. They didn't try to take my stuff either come to think of it."

Everyone started laughing at her since she said all this in one breathe. She looked at all of you like you're crazy and you calmed down enough to explain what exactly happened to her and what those 'huge rats' are.

"Ok Kristen, first off those 'huge rats' are called house elves. And second, the fireplace? You got here by Floo powder. It's how wizards and witches travel when they don't use brooms or can't apparate."

She looked at you like you had two heads. While she was trying to take all of this is who should pop out of thin air but a house elf. She screamed and ran into the house. The elf thought it did something wrong and started mumbling cruel things to do to itself. You ran after her trying to find her. You looked in your dad's office and found her there sitting at his desk while he was talking to her. He looked up to see you and told you to come in, close the door, and sit down.

"You might be wondering why you are here Kristen"

"Oh I'd say maybe just a smidgen"

"Well you have been arranged to marry my son."

His what?

"I thought I was your only kid" you said looking very confused.

"No I have a son and he was living with his mother until those damned Order people interfered with my plans. Enough of that now. At the ball Saturday, along with announcing Raya as my daughter, we will also be announcing your engagement, Kristen." He said looking at each of you in turn.

"So...when do I get to meet my alleged fiancé?" she asked getting a little curious.

"Right now as a matter of fact" and after saying that a door to the side opened and a gorgeous boy walked through. He looked to be about your age. And it really was a good thing he's your brother or you would've ravished him right then and there. After thinking 

that you decided no to ever again because you just checked out your brother. Ick! Out of the corner of your eye you saw Kristen look like she was about to pass out.

"Kristen this is my son, Xander. Xander, Kristen." Kristen stood up slowly walking towards him looking like she was in a trance. He was almost a foot taller than her and looked down at her.

Taking her hand and kissing it he said, "So I hear we're getting married"

"Yeah...it must be some rumor flying around." She said regaining her wit.

"Hm well that's fine by me. What about you?" he said/asked while looking her up and down.

"Oh I think I can survive." She replied looking him up and down as well.

He looked over at you and gave you a small smile.

"Hey there little sis'" he said walking towards you and engulfing you in a huge bear hug.

"Hey...um...really big bro'" you said but it was muffled by his massive chest. Evidently he heard you and started laughing.

Your dad cleared his throat. "You may be excused now"

You and Kristen hooked arms with Xander and walked out to where everyone else was. They looked up and you saw the girls eyeing Xander like you did and they guys looking at him as if he was repulsive.

"Hey guys this is my really big bro', Xander, who is engaged to Kristen."

"Ya so hands off you three." Kristen added.

The guys' looks softened, mainly Aiden's and Draco's since the other two like you as a sister. And the girls' looks hardened, but only as a joke. You introduced everyone and sat down between Draco and Aiden, which was pretty awkward. Xander looked around and looked a little bored.

"Since its Thursday does anyone want to go do something before we have to start getting ready for the ball?"

"Sounds good to me. How about we go to a club?" Anna suggested.

"Are there any around here?"

"Oh ya come on lets go get ready" she said standing up and making her way to your room.

You and the other girls followed while the guys went in a different direction. After taking about 3 hours to fully get ready, you found the guys in the living room watching a movie. Announcing your readiness, you walked out to a limo waiting for the guys to follow pursuit. When you got there you could hear the music bumping through your chest. Getting out of the car and looking around is what you occupied yourself with while going up to the bouncer. Anna and Amara went up to him and said something to him which made him automatically let you guys through. You went to a table and ordered some drinks when a 

really cute guy came to ask you to dance.

"She doesn't want to" came out of two separate mouths.

You turned around and looked at Xander and Kristen.

"Ya sorry maybe another time though" you said.

"C'mon sis you're dancing with me" Xander said pulling you out of your seat.

You both walked out to the dance floor and started dancing but not the way you would have if he was Draco or Aiden.

"So...Raya...what's your favorite color?"

"Pink. Why?"

"Just trying to get to know you. Your turn"

"Mmk...What is your favorite thing about my best friend over there?"

"Her smile seems to captivate me" he said with a twinkle in his eye meaning something else captivates him.

When the song was over and your game of 20 questions was also over you walked back to the table to see it full of your friends. You sat down next to Draco and reached for your drink. After catching your breath you realized there was a hand on your leg. You followed the hand up to its owner and saw Draco wink at you. You smiled flirtily at him and took his hand and led him out onto the dance floor. A slow song came on, but it wasn't one you have to slow dance to. Basically, you just grinded slowly while his hands explored your body. When that song was over a fast one came on. That one was just as fun as the last.

All through the night you danced with Draco and Aiden a few times. It was fun and you had a great time. It made you realize though that you like Draco a lot more than Aiden. You figured he felt more like than the big brother type than the irresistible hunk you thought him to be. Granted, he's still cute.

It's Friday night and you are nervous as heck. Kristen was sleeping in your room and you guys were catching up while also talking about what could go wrong tomorrow evening.

"What if my hair goes flat?"

"I bet I'll fall in front of everyone on my face!"

"I hope my dress still fits."

"Dang, it would suck if I ripped my dress..."

"Ooh that would suck."

"Yeah...well we might want to get some sleep so we don't look hideous in the morning. Man, I can't believe we're going to be sisters!!"

You guys crawled into your huge bed and tried your hardest to get to sleep even though your jittery feeling wasn't going to let you. Eventually, however, you fell asleep thinking about Draco and how awkward the ball will be since you're going with Aiden and you don't like him like that.
