"Dragomir, Arya!" She calmly waked up to the stool, to have the hat placed on her head.
"My, my, I truly did have a trifle with your twin. I swear placing him in that house is a sin. No matter, no matter- it's you now I'm after. Let's take a look, shall we? My lord, I haven't seen this much sheer courage since Godric himself! Even your brother did not retain this much hidden strength, this power…"
"Well what did you expect? I am his direct descendant."
"My dear I forget you are a Dumbledore at times. With the 'blackness' of your blood, your powers are ten fold that of any I've sorted before…and what's this? The weapon... there is much more for you in store. Therefore it best be- GRYFFINDOR!" Arya rose from her seat and scanned the table, her eyes landing on a certain black haired boy with round glasses. She walked down the table to him and smiled with her lopsided grin, "May I?"
"Oh sure, of course…Professor."
"Tuck in!" Everyone grabbed the nearest plate of food as the great feast began.
"So obviously you all know who I am; now you're Harry, Ron and Hermione, right?" The golden trio looked shocked momentarily but all nodded in agreement.
"Professor, if you wouldn't mind me asking-"
"Please Hermione, I will allow any of my friends and fellow Gryffindors to call me by my first name when not in class."
"Ok, erm…Arya, could you tell me why exactly you are teaching and being an assistant at the same time?" Steely grey eyes met Hermione's chocolate brown eyes knowingly.
"Ha, no wonder grandfather says you are the brightest witch of your age…How about I explain things a little bit later, right outside of the entrance doors?" Ron looked up at Harry with a goofy grin across his face.
"Alright! A professor who doesn't mind breaking a rule or two!" everyone, excluding Hermione, laughed. "But what I don't get is how your brother got into Slytherin. I mean, you two are twins right? You look exactly alike, and I couldn't imagine you two being all that different."
"You're right Ron, we aren't…it's something you'll learn tonight…"
"Ron its time to take up the first years."
"Alright. Hey Munchkins! Let's go!"
"Ronald! You can't call them that!" Hermione chased off after him leaving Harry and Arya in fits of laughter.
"Are they like this all the time? I mean, they're really perfect for each other."
"I know, I've tried telling them that for years, but they don't listen…so should we head out?"
"Yeah, let's go grab my brother." Arya stood up and noticed Harry's hesitation. "Look Harry, Drew had to fight the hat to place him in Slytherin. Dumbledore wanted him there to…get some valuable information, if you know what I mean." She winked at the green-eyed boy as he smiled in understanding. "Go wait over by the hall doors, and I'll be right there, ok?" Harry left her as she made her way towards the green and silver table. Taking a breath before approaching her brother, who happened to be sitting next to a slimy blonde boy, "Andrew, come on. We need to have that chat the Headmaster wanted us to have." Andrew simply nodded and rose from his seat, while the boy eyed Arya up and down. "Do you have a problem Mr…wait, blonde hair, spiteful disposition…you must be a Malfoy."
"Why yes Arya I'm-"
"It's professor to you Mr. Malfoy. And it would be most wise to stop eyeing me up and down. Now, goodnight." The twins walked out towards the entrance, when Andrew finally let his laughter loose.
"Arya you never do fail to amuse me. That was most excellent! I'm sorry, you must be Harry! I'm Andrew, you can call me that or Drew when we're alone, but because of the Slytherin thing you'll have to call me Professor near anyone else. Sorry mate."
"Oh that's alright…you aren't exactly what I expected."
"Lemmie guess, you thought because of Slytherin I'd be the opposite of my sister. Actually, I'm the more fun and free. But she's the stronger one- she trains more often."
"Damn right I do- wait, are you saying that I'm not fun?" just as the two were about to get into a sarcastic argument, Ron and Hermione came down the staircase. Introductions were made as the five walked out onto the grounds. "Follow us, but stay close."
"We really shouldn't be out here, I mean we've been in the forest enough, but it's still forbidden!"
"Relax 'Mione, we're professors, remember?" Andrew said with a wink, making Hermione blush a light pink. Arya led them into a clearing in the forest as Andrew began to speak.
"Now maybe we should explain a few things. Starting with our family, and Harry, you might want to sit down. Our mother was Kiara Dragomir, Dragomir being her mother's maiden name which she took to protect her identity. Kiara was the daughter of Dumbledore, and needed to be kept a secret for the most part. You've met her before Harry, she was the one who protected you from Voldemort. She…she took the killing curse for you last spring." Ron and Hermione, who had not known that someone had taken it for Harry, were completely shocked; Harry looked confused, and taken back by the news. Arya continued for them.
"Well our mother went to school here where she met our father. They married, but again mum kept her maiden name for safety. We never saw our father growing up, though he was very much alive."
"You see, we had taken our mother's maiden name so that we would remain safe as well. And if anyone had known who our father was, it would be the end of us." The trio looked confused.
"Well, out with it then! Just tell us who your father is."
"It's not that simple Ron, for he didn't even know we existed and that our mother was still alive. He found our mother the night of your trip into the department of mysteries, but he lost her too. And besides, you have all met him before, and I know for a fact that Harry was very close with him…"
"No…Arya it can't be…"
"It is Harry. Look at me and my sister, besides the red from our mother, we look just like him. And that's why our advanced patronus is in the shape of a large wolf dog thing."
"You all aren't making any sense! Harry, who are they talking about?" Harry turned to his best friend.
"Sirius…"
