Chapter #3: The First Malfoy Ever
"Don't worry sis you'll be fine." Draco said with a smirk on his face from across Hermione where they sit at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. Hermione just gave him a small smile and went back to playing with her food.
It was weird having Malfoy giving her words of encouragement. That had been Harry and Ron's job for so long to have someone else to it was just strange let alone if that person was Draco Malfoy. But that's what had been happening for the last two days. She had spent them with Narcissa and Draco going over their story to make sure it was fool proof.
In the end they had come up with her and Draco being twins. Lucuis hadn't been there for the birth so he would never know about the second child if there were one. Since he of course knew she was pregnant she couldn't hide both children and decided that the boy would have a better chance of protecting himself she sent the girl and the younger of the two to life with some distance realities.
It seemed the hardest part was coming up with a name. Hermione had originally wanted to use her middle name Jane but Dumbledore said it wouldn't be wise and they should go with a more American name. They finally settled with Kacy, which was the name of the heroine in one of her favorite stories.
During this time Malfoy had taking over the role as protective big brother quite quickly. Which in it's self was a very frightening thing. She couldn't understand how he and his mother don't hate her, When she asked Dumbledore about this he stare a her for a long time before saying
" People have a tendency to judge others before they know them and maybe this experience with yourself and the Malfoy's will mend the gap being the houses. Now the Malfoy 's reason for agreeing to this is just that theirs if they wish to tell its up to the entirely so I will not indulge this conversation any longer but I will say this: things are not always as they seem." After that he offered her a lemon drop and left her sitting there confused.
All that had lead to the very moment as she seat across from Malfoy anxiously waiting, more like dreading, for them to finish their food.
"Stop worrying it's not like you haven't done this before," he whispered. The Carmel skin black boy sitting next to him looked at him strangely, before turning back to his desert.
Hermione noticed Blaise's curiosity shock a glare at Malfoy, who just smirked back at her. From what Malfoy had told her he was he's only real friend here. Or as real as friends can get with Slytherin's.
She gulped the last of her pumpkin juice as Dumbledore stood up and the hall went silent. " In light of recent loses we have gained a new student. As you all know Miss Granger trying to protect Mr. Weasley killed Mr. Malfoy-" murmurs started "-because of this the youngest Malfoy was able to come out of her hiding." He gestured for Hermione to get up.
She looked at the Gryffindor table; both Harry and Ron were staring at Dumbledore like he had grown a second head. Looking away she looked a Malfoy who had a smirk on his face but nodded his head telling her it was okay. She sighed and stood up and walked to the chair that had appeared in the middle of that had near the teacher's table. Sitting in it she felt the sorting hat being put on the head.
" Miss Granger welcome," the hat purred in her ear. " I've never had a student dislike their house so much they come a second time. But I'm sorry to disappoint you but my decision I will stand by------- Gryffindor." The hat shouted out loud.
The Great erupted in polite clamps form most of the student. She was even surprised to see the Slytherin's clapping as she looked around but was sure it had something to do with Draco would wore he's usual smirk.
She started walking to the Gryffindor table when Dumbledore stopped her and the clapping. " I will like to introduce Miss Kacy Malfoy, Seventh year, and the first Malfoy ever to be in Gryffindor.
