A/N: I don't own Harry Potter
Q&A: Doclover- Quite possibly but not for a while in the plot. Thanks for reviewing!
Wake Up Calls
When Hazel woke up the next morning she thought she must be sicker than she had even thought. She blinked a few times but she was still seeing double. The faces above her smiled and said, "Hazel." at the same and she understood. A smile slowly crept across her face. "Hi Fred. George." Hazel tried to sit up but the twins pushed her back down. "Don't. You need to rest." Fred instructed. "How did you guys know I was here?" She asked. "Harry, Ron, and Hermione told us." George said. Hazel's eyes flew open again and she sat up. "What?" She demanded then regretted it when her head started spinning. They pushed her back down again and calmed her. "We saw them come into the common room. Hermione said you were here with a stomach ache." George told her slowly. "Oh." Hazel simply replied rubbing her head. She had thought they had told them about their conversation with Dumbledore. Fred and George's faces twisted in equal looks of concern. "You alright?" They asked. Hazel nodded slightly. "Yeah I think I just need to sleep more." Hazel gave them a bright smile that they returned. "Okay." Fred said. "We'll see you later." They gave her mischievous winks and filed out. She rolled her eyes and waved as they left. Once they were out of sight Hazel let her head drop onto the pillow below her and sighed.
She must have dozed off because when she woke up again the room was much brighter and a new figure was by her side. At first she thought it was one of the twins or Harry but upon hearing the person speak she knew she was wrong.
"Morning sleeping beauty. I was beginning to think you wouldn't be waking up." Draco said. Hazel sat up slowly and looked at him. "Why are you here?" She questioned. Draco looked at her with almost pained look on his face. "Er...Potter told me you were sick...after yesterday I thought...I figured...just...I'm sorry for upsetting you. Okay?" Hazel merely blinked at him. "It's not your fault. I mean it wasn't you." Draco rolled his eyes. "Yeah that's what Snape said." He told her. "Well it's true. I'm fine really." Hazel assured, wondering why he would bother coming to see her. "Then why are you in here?" He questioned. "Harry told you. I'm sick at my stomach. It happens." Hazel brushed off quickly. "Well I- What is it?" Draco had been watching her face and saw when a fearful look came across her face and her eyes became the size of dinner plates. Her hand flew to her mouth. "I-I think I'm gonna be sick."
No sooner were the words out of her mouth that she jumped up and ran to the bathroom. By the time Draco had noticed and followed Hazel was already bent over the toilet and heaving everything in her stomach into it. Draco ran to her side and swept her hair out of her face. He held it back as she threw up. When she was finally done and pushed herself back away from it he draped her hair down her back, away from her face. Draco stood and wet a cloth rag and came back to wipe her face clean. When he pulled back she was giving him a confused look. Draco walked to the sink to rinse off the rag. "What's with that look?" Hazel shook her head and got up, her legs shaking. "Why are you taking care of me?" She asked, flushing the toilet. Draco shrugged. "Don't get use to it. As I'm sure Miss Know It All has told you I'm not a good guy." Hazel walked over to him. "You don't seem that bad." She walked out of the bathroom and got a bottle of water. She came back in and gurgled for a moment. "Trust me I am." Draco said as she spit in the sink. "Who ever said I was a good girl?" She questioned. She strode out of the room leaving a puzzled look on Draco's face.
"Of course you are. You're in Gryffindor. I'm in Slytherin. That's how it works." He said, following her. She mumbled something as she got back in the bed. "What was that?" Draco asked. Hazel pulled the blanket over her head. "Get out." She told him. "Gladly." Draco said and walked out of the room. Once she heard the door close Hazel threw the covers off and ran to the Gryffindor common room. By the time she dressed and left it was lunch time. She quickly turned and ran to the Great Hall. When Fred and George spotted her they rushed over immediately. "There she is!" They declared, picking her up. Hazel laughed as they carried her to a seat and plopped her down it in. "Why thank you but I can walk guys." She said with a smile. "And people are staring." Hermione declared. Ginny grinned. "You know Fred and George. It's all about theatrics." The twins nodded eagerly and sat on either side of Hazel. Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny all sat on the opposite side of them. "So how are you feeling?" Hermione asked. "We would have come to see you but the twins insisted they do it." Hazel smiled at them. "I'm much better thanks."
"Uh oh." The twins said. "Snape alert." Hazel looked up and met eyes with their teacher. Harry, Ron, and Hermione spun around continued to look back and forth as subtly as they could. "And he's coming this way..." George mumbled. "Oh. Joy." Fred added only a moment later. Snape approached their table. "Potter. Hazel." Snape seemed to add Hazel's name like and afterthought when both looked up just to the name Potter. "Come with me please." He instructed. Hazel and Harry looked at each other, stood, and followed Snape out of the Great Hall.
"What's up?" Hazel asked casually once they were in the hall. Harry couldn't help but stare at her and wonder how she could be so calm around Snape. Of all people-Snape. "Well you're the Potter children. Now that you're together we have some thins to run through." Snape told them. Hazel rolled her eyes. "We already know not to tell anyone, Sev." She reminded him with a slight smile. "Ask your brother these students have a way of finding things out." Hazel and Harry looked at each other. "Brother..." They said together. "I've never had a brother before." Hazel stated. "I've never been called brother or had a sister." Harry said. "This is going to take some getting use to." Hazel smiled. "But I like it." Harry nodded and hugged her.
"You both have always had a sibling you just were not always aware." Snape stated, snapping them out of their hug. Hazel giggled. "Good point Sev." Snape stopped walking and turned to her. His eyes shifted from her to Harry and he sighed. "You two..." Hazel's brow furrowed. "What is it?" She asked. Harry looked equally confused but remained silent as Snape looked back at them. "You both look exactly like each of your parents." He stated. Neither Potter looked surprised having clearly heard this over and over again. The three continued walking when Hazel spoke. "I thought Harry had my moms eyes? And I've seen pictures of James he had square glasses not round ones." Harry looked at her. This wasn't the first time Hazel had spoken so confidently about their parents past and Harry couldn't help but wonder how much she truly knew and how she knew it. Clearly Snape but was there anything else? Snape meanwhile was rolling his eyes. "Okay Harry maybe not exactly but the resemblance is remarkable. Happy now?" Hazel smiled and skipped along beside him. "Very. Where are we headed?" Snape smiled. "Guess."
"I have a better idea." Hazel declared, coming to a stop. "What?" Snape and Harry asked. She simply grinned. "Follow me." And Hazel took off like a shot down the corridor. "HAZEL!" Snape shouted while Harry laughed and ran after her. Snape groaned and followed them with reluctance. It took Harry forever to catch up and when he did he crashed into her and they both tumbled to the ground with a loud thud! By the time Snape caught up the two were rolling across the floor howling with laughter. Snape sighed and leaned against the wall, watching. Hazel pushed Harry so he fell back on his stomach and she climbed onto his back. "Woah!" She yelled as Harry stood up and lifted her onto his back, piggy back style. "Are we going for a ride sis?" He asked. She nodded and he rode around with her until they had to go to class.
Whatever Snape had wanted them for was lost along with Harry and Hazel and Snape's thoughts as he watched them laughing and couldn't help but think of his own days at Hogwarts.
