"Beth, you got to talk to him at one point or another," said Marissa. "He is your brother. You may need to rely on him one day to protect you."

"I can't," Beth replied. "All I can think about is him being there, not doing anything to stop it. And if it was for him Draco and I would still be talking. I mean he can't even look at me."

"You are taking your anger out on the wrong person," Marissa replied. "Voldemort is the one who killed Cedric. He killed your parents. You can't see Sirus because of him. Everything that you are blaming Harry for is because of him. Not Harry."

"Whatever," Beth replied. "Come on, we have to go to DADA."

"Hello class," stated Professor Umbridge. "Welcome to Defense Against the Arts. This year we will return to the basic principles. That means no practicing at all. We will read from text books."

"Then how can we protect ourselves against the Dark Arts?" asked Beth.

"You don't need to Ms. Diggory," replied Umbridge. "The Dark Arts do not exist. This class is just a tradition here."

"That is bull," replied Harry. "Voldemort is back. I saw him. If we don't learn how to protect ourselves here than we are all dead."

"Detention, Mr. Potter," replied Umbridge. Then she proceeded with the class.

*After the class*

"Beth, why didn't you speak up more?" asked Hermione. "That is so unlike you."

"Because it would have been more trouble than it was worth," she replied. Just then Harry walked by. "Excuse me. Harry wait up." Beth then ran after Harry.

"You all just saw that right?" asked Ron.

"Yes," replied Hermione and Marissa.

"Harry," said Beth once she caught up to him. "I am sorry about the way I have been acting around you lately. It is just hard. I am working on it. You have to be careful around Umbridge. My dad, Mr. Diggory, Amos, said she is a hard ass. Any other time I would have jumped in and you know that."

"I understand," replied Harry slowing down so Beth didn't have to walk as fast. "I understand all of it. I was the closest person to vent on. And with Umbridge I can try but I can' promise anything."

"That will work," Beth said pleased that things might work out.

"Hey look," stated Fred as he, Heather, and George came upon them. "They are talking again."

"Yeah, we are," stated Harry. "Got a problem with that?"

"No problem," replied George. "Just glad to see that. By the way Angelina is pissed that you are missing practices because of detention."

"Yeah," replied Harry. "Tell her I am sorry about that and it shouldn't, well hopefully won't, happen again."

*One Week Later*

"Harry!" exclaimed Ron. "I am the new Keeper!"

"That is amazing Ron," replied Harry. "Glad you are on the team."

*Two Months Later*

"Who the fucking hell do they think they are?" cried Beth. "Making her High INquistor? She is going to ruin this school. This is absolutely ridiculous. No one is safe now. Screw the Ministry. They are sending Hogwarts to the grave. Maybe Voldemort will attack them next. Maybe then they will fucking believe us."

"I agree," stated Hermione. "But we have to try and keep our cool now. We could get expelled by her. And as much as I would love to continue this discussion we have to get to Care of Magical Creatures."

"Oh crap," said Harry and Beth at the same time. "She is here."

The class was going okay until Umbridge asked about injuries. Then Malfoy opened his mouth and mentioned the attack by a hippogriff.

As the two houses were leaving Malfoy purposely ran into Beth. As he did so he dropped a note in her pocket. As a result of him running into her she pushed Harry and he stumbled.

"What the hell?" Harry said turning to Beth.

"It wasn't me," she replied. "Malfoy ran into me."

"What is wrong with you?" Harry said turning to Malfoy. Stop being a jackass and leave us the hell alone."

Malfoy just smiled and walked away.

Later that day Beth found the note in her pocket. When she got a chance to read it, it said:

Beth,

I know you are probably pissed at me and you have a right to be. I said I would only take a few days to digest the fact that you are Harry's twin and I lied. It took a little bit longer. During that time, I realized that the two of you being related made sense. You and Cedric really didn't have fights, yet you Harry have a ton. I know this time has been hard for you and me not being there is probably making it harder and I am extremely sorry. Please meet me on the seventh floor in room 722 tomorrow night at seven pm. We should talk. I will understand if you do not come just remember that I will be here when you are ready.

Love,

Draco

It took awhile for Beth to digest the note. She read it a few times. Eventually she decided that she would go see what he had to say. She set the plans in motion with Fred and Marissa to cover for her when she left the next day.
