Chapter 6
Rachel had moved in with Draco a few weeks ago now, she was missing living with her sister in ways. However in other ways she wasn't because the fact that her sister always wanted to do things her ways did annoy her, and the way that she was so organised annoyed her slightly as well. But apart from these things she did miss Emily, and she did feel like a part of her was missing because she was no longer talking to her sister. She was enjoying living with Draco however; she had become really close with him. He has been helping her deal with the family situation a lot. Rachel had been trying to find a job so that she could have some money. She had a bit as she left some in Gringots before she moved to the Muggle world but it wasn't enough for her to live off for the rest of her life so she needed a job. Draco had helped her by making a list of all the jobs that she could do like teacher, work in a shop. She didn't like the look of most of them because she said that they were going to be boring. She did however like the look of working for the Daily Prophet, or the Quibbler. She loved speaking her mind, and love writing she did it a lot when she used to live in the Muggle world, so writing for these people would be her dream job. She went for an interview for the Quibbler with Mr Lovegood, but she didn't like the sound of working for it. She didn't think that it was a famous enough paper, and thought that not many people liked it, so she is not going to get any of her stories and opinions read. So she decided that she was going to call the person who runs the Daily Prophet in order to see whether they had a job going for her, she wanted to be in the most famous paper so that she knew a lot of people read it. That means that she would get more famous, and have more money. Draco liked the sound of the plan that she had and helped her prepare for the interview.
Rachel was nervous at her interview with the Prophet, she had found out that there was a job going for a journalist. When she walked in the room she tripped over the rug, but she didn't trip forward or backwards. She did some sort of circle and looked like she was hula hoping. The people found it amusing she however did not she felt embarrassed which took a lot. She found out at the end of the interview that she had got the job because they liked her so much. She was generally so pleased and happy, they wanted her to start the next day because they were desperate for someone to write decent things for them. She really wanted to tell her sister the news but she didn't know whether Emily had forgiven her yet.
Emily and Ron had moved back into Hogwarts, they are both teachers at the school. Ron didn't particularly want to be but his wife did. And he didn't want to be away from her most of the year so he decided that he would become a teacher as well. Emily had been worrying about her sister for quite a while and wondered how she was doing. She had sent a letter to her a few days ago but had not heard back yet. Maybe she was just busy but she was worried about it. Tomorrow was a Saturday, so she decided that she was going to go and see Draco and Rachel. Ron was going to come with her, however he expected something bad to happen he was worried about his wife.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just worried about Rach. It worries me when I don't hear back from her. I know that we ended on bad terms but she usually would reply even though we aren't even speaking"
"But we are going to see her tomorrow right?"
"Yes I know that, but what if she turns me away?"
"She's not going to turn you away, she's your twin sister she wouldn't do that to you! Plus Draco wouldn't let her anyway it's his house, not hers"
"True, but I'm still worried. I worry about her, you know that I do!"
"I know you do you never bloody stop worrying!"
Emily and Ron had just arrived at Draco and Rachel's. They had knocked on the door but no one had answered yet. Emily was more worried because she thought that maybe Rachel didn't want to speak to her ever again. They knew that they would be coming round because Emily had put it in her letter, even though it was a question that was unanswered she wanted to come round and check on her sister anyway. Ron knocked again but louder this time, Draco came to the door and apologised he was in the kitchen and didn't hear the door. He invited them both in, got them a drink and they all sat in the living room.
"Draco, as much as I love spending time with you. Where's Rachel?"
"She's in the shower I think" Draco didn't actually know where she was, he was pretty sure that she was going to be somewhere in the house. But the house was big so it was hard to tell exactly where she was.
"Oh right okay. Its just I sent her a letter about today like 4 days ago and she never replied so I don't know whether she got it or not!"
"I think she did, she has just been really busy this past week with her new job and everything"
"New job?" She didn't even know that her sister has gotten a new job. This made Emily feel worst, that was kinda big news and she didn't even know about it because she was suborn.
"Yeah didn't you know? She's working for the daily prophet now, as a writer her for them" Draco felt awkward because he didn't know that Emily didn't know. Maybe Rachel didn't want Emily to know yet. Or maybe she wanted to tell her herself.
"Oh right I didn't know that, how is she doing?"
"Really well apparently!"
"Thought she would be, she was always an amazing writer. When we were little she would always be writing different stories. They were always so amazing, and she isn't afraid of putting her point across. Not like me, whenever I tried by stories sucked and I'm too shy to shout my opinions out!"
"Yeah well she seems to be doing well; I think everyone likes the things that she is writing. She has been travelling a lot, getting the stories that are going to keep the people happy"
"Ahh good for her. I'm glad that she is sorting herself out" Emily generally was happy for her sister, but she didn't understand the whole thing to be honest. She didn't get why Rachel wasn't telling her what was going on, informing her about the job.
Rachel had heard the entre conversation that they just had. She decided that she would let her presence be known. Walking into the living room, everyone turned around.
"Hey Rach!" Emily smiled at her sister.
"Hi" Everyone instantly felt awkward. There was no talking at all so here was an awkward silence. Until there was slamming on the front door. They all suddenly looked confused about who it was and what they wanted.
"Draco are you going or shall I?" Rachel did sound worried about what was going to happen. Draco could tell this, he had Rachel had gotten really close. So he decided that he was going to go and answer the door. The fairly small man, with dark hair didn't acknowledge him at all, he just barged into the house. Somehow he knew exactly where he was going; he went straight into the living room and stood there.
"Jim? What the heck are you doing here?"
"I came to take you back!" he said simply, like it was just a casual statement.
"I'm not going anywhere with you!"
Draco came back into the room, looking confused. "Rachel what the heck is going on?"
"Stay out of this blondie!"
"Don't talk to him like that!" Rachel stood up for Draco, he had done a lot for her these past months, he didn't deserve to be treated like that!
"What is he your boyfriend" Jim had quite a strange voice; he emphasised the boyfriend and said it higher to the other words in the sentence. It always annoyed Emily how he would do that but she didn't comment she was just sat there in shock.
"No Jim, he isn't. Can't you just go now please?" She still didn't really understand why he was here, but she did want him to go.
"Not without you I am not going until you come back to me!" Jim wasn't budging not without what he came for which was Rachel. He needed her back again and he wasn't backing down now, no blonde idiot was going to stand in the way of him.
"Jim I'm not coming back with you, I don't want to!"
"I know that you do Rachel, lets make this easy and go now!"
"She said that she didn't want to come with you god damit!" Emily was getting rather annoyed now, it was clear that her sister didn't want him there so he needed to go now. Jim laughed as she finished saying that and starting moving towards her. Ron stood in front of her straight away.
"Well Emily, you look different. Fatter than I expected you to turn out, put a bit of weight on there? And you've got yourself a little knight in shining armour there?" he couldn't help but think to himself how pathetic it was that Ron had just stood in front of her like he was some sort of hero. Jim knew that he wasn't a hero at all; he just wanted to make himself look tough when he really wasn't.
"Leave her alone! She hasn't done anything to you and neither has Rachel. I think you need to go!" Ron didn't like the way that Jim had just spoken to Emily and wanted him to get the heck away from the house before Draco did something stupid.
Jim just laughed, he turned to the side where Rachel was stood and grabbed her by the arm. He started pulling her out of the room but was soon stopped by Draco and Ron. Draco was already stood in front of the door and Ron was stood behind Rachel. Jim tried his best to push Draco out the way but it didn't work. Draco punched him in the face, it was hard enough to push him over. Draco knew that he could have just used a spell but he didn't want to this idiot needed to be sorted out. Ron had managed to get Jim off Rachel. She had run to the back of the room where Emily was. Jim got up and tried to get past Draco again but he couldn't. Draco punched him again it wasn't hard enough to push him over, but it was going to leave a mark. Ron then decided that he was going to take some form of action, he bent down and grabbed both of Jim's legs in his hand. Jim then off course fell over, Draco look his head into his hands. They both took him to the door, Draco opened it and they threw the small man outside onto the floor.
"Don't bother coming back Moriarty. I will only kill you!" Draco said in all seriousness.
"Don't you worry Blondie I will be back!"
