She gripped Draco's arm, " I saw her before! She was outside..."
He looked down at her quizzically, " Surely you have seen her before... she is my sister."
………….
"Your… sister?" Hermione gazed in disbelief at the petite girl in front of her.
The girls hair was dressed in a bright red dress with her dark hair pulled off her face. Her crimson lips parted in a half smile and she nodded at Hermione, "Good morning."
"Good morning," she responded slowly. The girl smiled once more and walked past.
Draco looked at her, " Her name is Rose. Did you not meet before?"
"No. I wasn't aware you had a sister who liked to watch people while they are trying to sleep."
" I do have a sister… but what are you talking about?"
"Umm… nothing. Why did you not mention her before?" She asked curiously. Surely he would have mentioned if he had had a sister, wouldn't he?
" I… well I suppose I didn't mention her because I didn't know… if we were going to last." Or if I was going to kill you to avoid marriage… but he kept that part to himself.
"Oh…" But why was she watching me like that? Like she wanted to be me? She walked with him to the dining room, but her mind was with the young woman who had walked past them.
……….
She took a deep breath and smiled at the woman beside her brother. Hermione, he had said her name was. Well, she looked pretty and nice and smart and… everything she would never be to a man. She walked past before her eyes could fill up with tears.
Only one sibling could wed and as only one sibling could rule. The sibling chosen was the eldest, the strongest, the one meant for the destiny. But why then did she not feel proud of him? Why did she still mourn for the life she could never live? She couldn't change her destiny any more than Draco could change the love he had for Hermione… if only Hermione wasn't here… Her eyes narrowed.
…………
The beauty of the trees in the dusk made her gasp in delight.
"Are you cold?" Draco asked quickly.
"No, its just so pretty."
Neither of them noticed the shadow that watched them from the trees.
……….
She stood on the balcony again, shivering slightly. She watched the girl Hermione sleeping again and she looked so peaceful. Pity she wouldn't be peaceful for long…
