Disclaimer: Ok I just realized that there a couple of spelling errors in the last chapter so don't hurt me. I also am saying that I own nothing but my plot and my own characters. Everything belongs to J.K Rowling and a various collection of other people. I also want to tell you that I will be using the characters real names in dialogue (i.e. Bethanie and Damien) and everywhere else like in thoughts or narration I will use the names the originally were given by J.K. (i.e. Hermione and Draco).
Hopefully this will demolish any confusion (probably won't but I can dream)

Chapter 4: Forgive me, Forgive me not…we're still training. & Reminiscing Part 1
Alexandra had shown Hermione and Harry the training rooms and both her and Harry had left to see if they could find Draco, leaving Hermione alone to think. She was sitting in her new room trying to understand why Malfoy…"Black…remember he is Damien Black and you are Bethanie Potter. Wow this is defiantly going to get confusing." Hermione said to herself. She opened the box that he gave her and set it down on her desk. In the box there was a pair of earrings, they were the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen.
"Jeez, I don't even like these sorts of things at all…then how come I love these so much!" Hermione was irritated.
The earrings were made of crystal and platinum. The tops were platinum and the crystals hung down about an inch.
"…wow…" Hermione was so shocked that Draco would give her something like this especially after they hated each other for so long…"Maybe he never really hated me…well I guess since he is Sirius's son…I'll give him a chance." Hermione picked up the box and it jingled. There was something else inside the box… she took out the stand. There inside was a necklace and a piece of paper. She took out the necklace. It had some charms on it. She took out the paper and set the necklace and the box back on the desk. She unfolded the paper and started to read…
"Bethanie,
Ok well this was something I couldn't say to your face so I decided to write it down. You are most likely wondering why I couldn't say it to your face; simple…I was afraid you would laugh at me. Yes I was afraid you would laugh at me and I think I know what you are going to say, 'God him and his stupid pride'. Well it's true, because of that bastard I called a father I am now officially an overstuffed pride filled bastard too." Hermione giggled at this and continued to read. "Now I bet you are really laughing at me aren't you? Well enough stalling…I want to say that I am truly sorry for everything that I've said and done over the years. I understand that you most likely won't forgive me because well I will admit that I was a complete asshole, dick head, shit faced bastard." Hermione could help but laugh and think maybe he wasn't that bad anymore. "Well maybe if you do forgive me then we could possibly be friends…maybe go out some time" The feeling was gone. He was still full of himself. But still…"God! I can just imagine how much you are laughing at me now. The truth is I have never really hated you. I had to keep up the 'family image' because of my stupid 'father'. Oh well. I am really sorry and I hope you will accept my apologies, I will of course understand if you don't, then we can just go on like normal. Well, I am officially 'assigned' to you as your watcher so we will be training together while Alex is training Harry. But don't worry about that now because me and Alex are going to explain that later on. I just wanted to give you these 'I'm Sorry' gifts and you probably already know what they are but I'll explain anyways. The earring are made from rare crystals that are connected to your mind and will repel minor dark spells and will also alert you when danger is near by. They will help with your slaying. As a matter of fact the next girt will help with your slaying also. Now the necklace…It is kind of like a charm bracelet but it will also protect you from minor evils. First of all, the star diamond in the middle…just a diamond, I just thought you would like it. There is a blessed cross on there which should be self explanatory. There is also a clover on there; it is on there to protect you from the effects of leprechauns." Hermione snorted. "Don't laugh either because I know what you're thinking…'what the hell would a leprechaun do to me, steal my lucky charms back for his own selfish reasons?' (Don't be shocked that I know what lucky charms are either because how shocking is it really?). You have to understand that leprechauns aren't friendly; they are sly, evil, short little creatures who will stop at nothing to steal what he desires. There is also a charm on there that looks like a torch; it's charmed to light up an area when there is a creature around that is sensitive to light. The little horn is…oh just guess…it will be fun!" Hermione scowled. Thinking he was acting stupid and wished she was standing there telling her all this so she could tell him how stupid he was being and that he should just get on with it. She rolled her eyes and continued. "Well it is a rooster call of course…well you never know when you might run into a basilisk…it goes off when one is near enough to be killed by the call but far enough away where it won't kill you. There is a little dragon that will cover you with a little force field just in case you are hit with fire from a dragon. The gas mask defends again nundu's and other creature that carry diseases. And also the whole thing is made of silver which should weaken werewolves. It won't kill them, just weaken them, and it will only weaken them in their wolf form. The silver also works against various demons that you might come across.
Well I think that is it so I guess I will see you in training tomorrow whether we friends or not…guess I'll find out won't I.
Damien
P.S. Sorry I just realized that I got a little carried away with the explanations. Too much information."
Hermione was stunned at what she had just read.
'Should I trust him? Has he really changed? Should I be friends with him? Should I really forgive him for all the shit he's done to me over the years? Did he really ask me out…' Hermione couldn't keep the thoughts from racing through her head.
Draco walked to the astronomy tower. It felt almost like he was gliding. He had come up here so much during his days at Hogwarts that he was now on autopilot. He had always gone up there to be alone. Of course a lot of the other students went up there to make out…more like fuck with there clothes on…he always sat over in one of the corners where no one could see him. Whenever anyone thinks of Draco Malfoy they think, bigheaded, rich, evil, rich, arrogant, sex god of Hogwarts, and a daddy's boy. Everybody who thinks that…is stupid. Not only has he only had sex once but he also hated his father because he is an asshole who beats people to a bloody pulp for no reason…especially him, his own son. Of course he is rich but he doesn't care, he wouldn't care if he only had 2 sickles. But that didn't matter to anyone. He was a little bigheaded but not as much as everyone made it out to be. Mostly everything that he has done since he was 7 years old has all been an act.
flashback
Malfoy Manor 1987
Draco was sitting in his room reading a book about dragons and evil warlocks when his father stormed in.
"Stand up boy!" Lucius yelled "follow me." Draco stood up and fallowed his father with his head hung low. Lucius led him to his study where he sat down at his desk. Draco stood in the middle of the room and looked at his father.
"Do you know why you are here?"
Draco shook his head. "N...no father."
"You are here to be taught the family values, everything that every Malfoy before you is to be taught at your age." His father said with a sneer. "Do you understand boy?"
"Y…yes father." Draco shuddered.
"First of all, every Malfoy is above all others…no matter what. Repeat that."
"Every Malfoy is…above all others…no matter what." Draco cringed. "But father…"
Lucius slapped Draco.
"You Will Not Ask Questions! You Will Do As You Are Told And Nothing Else!" Tears started to form in Draco's eyes. Lucius Slapped Draco again.
"Another thing Boy, MALFOY'S DO NOT CRY!" Lucius stormed out of the room. He couldn't take it. His son was impossible.
Draco stared after his father and cried. Then he stopped.
"Malfoy's do not cry. We are better then anyone else…are you happy with me now father…?"
end flashback
Draco hadn't cried since that day. That was the first of many lessons
he and Lucius shared. As the years went on, the lessons got even more brutal.
Draco heard someone approaching him from behind. Draco spun, wand raised, on his feet. It was Remus.
"How did you know I was up here?" Draco said.
"Well two reason actually." Remus smiled. "I saw you leave your common room and well…I always came up here when I needed to think…I figured this is were you might have gone. So I guess you would say it was a sort of wild guess that this is where you were going." Remus was still smiling as he sat done and leaned against the wall motioning for Draco to do the same. Draco sat down next to him.
"Ok so that was reason number, is there a reason number two or were you pulling my leg?"
"Well actually I followed you up here." Remus laughed a little. Draco shook his head and grinned. "So are you going to tell me why you decided to storm the castle?"
"Well…would you accept the simple answer of…my life is a shit hole?"
"Do you think I would let you get away with something as simple as that? Look at my life, neither of us has had much fun." Remus just smiled at him. Draco wondered how he could just joke about his life as a werewolf.
"Well, I went home as normal Draco…everything was normal, fine. Then everything spun out of control." Remus had a straight face now and Draco knew that he was listening very carefully to what he was saying.
"I went to my room like normal Draco and I was just putting my stuff away when Lucius walked in. I could tell he was pissed off at something and was going to take it out on me, like always…" Draco stopped. Remus nodded and Draco continued. "He walked up to me and socked me twice, once in the stomach and then once on my face. I fell to the ground on my knees. He lifted me up by the collar and told me that after all the things he taught me I still couldn't take a beating like a man…I was still a weak little child…and then my mother…Narcissa…ran into the room. I could tell he had been beating her before I came. She started yelling at him, it was weird though because she was yelling at him but she would add in stuff in Latin and go back to English. He through me at the desk and I smashed it. He started towards Narcissa. He went to hit her but she hit him first slashing him across the cheek with her nails. I got up and picked up my chair then walked slowly over to where he was trying to get a grasp on her. His back was to me. I could tell that Narcissa had acknowledged what I was doing so I walked up behind him and bashed him over the head with my chair. It knocked him unconscious. We dragged him to the living room down stairs. I could tell that Narcissa was making sure that Lucius hit every stair and every doorway we went through…" Remus laughed at this.
"She does have that sort of temper, always has." Draco looked shocked. "We went to school at the same time but she was two years ahead of us. And of course she is Sirius's cousin so we met. She hated the Slytherins. Always did. We always had trouble trying to figure out how she ended up with Lucius, we found out later of course that her parents threatened to kill her puppy and disown her if she didn't marry Lucius. Well Lucius killed the dog not long after the wedding but it was too late to stop the marriage because it was official by then." Remus smiled as he thought of something. Draco waited for him to say something else but when he didn't Draco started. "Wait a minute if she hated Slytherins so much…I thought she was in Slytherin?" Draco was confused.
"God no! I think she would have jumped off this tower before she ever would have gone into Slytherin. She was in Ravenclaw." Remus smiled again.
"That explains a lot." Draco said.
"I would think so. So what happened after your reenactment of the WWF?"
"You
know if I hadn't met Alex I would have no clue what you were
talking about…"
"Yes, but since we both have been
acquainted with Alex, we both should know what we are talking about."
Draco snorted.
"Well we went into the living room and we tied Lucius up…I think that if Narcissa tied the ropes any tighter he would have suffocated, he was looking quite purple…" It was Remus's turn to snort. "Then she got a hold on the Ministry and told them to send over Aurors and that she wished to see the Minister. Then she talked to Dumbledore and he came as well. As they were talking to each other in the corner, Lucius started to wake up. They inadvertently noticed that I hit him over the head with a paper weight. Something tells me that they didn't care either. When the ministry got there they came back over. Dumbledore looked oddly shaken, almost as if she told him that she was pregnant with his baby…eww…no matter how gross that is, it was what it looked like." Draco looked up at the sky. "Narcissa started talking to the Ministry officials about the deatheaters. She told them about the Riddle house and how it was being used as a headquarters for there plans at the moment. She also gave out the names of the deatheaters she knew about. Then she told them how they move around and communicate. Then she explained that Voldemort has a daughter…I didn't even know that…he kept her locked up in her room all the time, only to come out to be tortured. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She kept looking at me out of the corner of her eye and I remember thinking what does this all have to do with me, she wouldn't be looking at me if this didn't have something to do with me. Then she started talking about when 'Meghan' was born, she had a twin brother named Damien. Her and her brother lived with their mother and father until they were a year old when Voldemort was defeated. Their father was wrongly accused of murdering thirteen people. Most of the room gasped at this and I knew why, first because they knew it was Sirius Black and they all wondered 'when did he have kids?' Narcissa continued telling them how their mother had been attacked and had to go into hiding. She split the children up. Meghan was sent to live with muggles and Damien was to live with a pure blood family. Of course seeing as she was a Malfoy, she sent him to live with a Malfoy. Then she pointed at me and I blacked out. Dumbledore helped me up and I remember him whispering, 'Welcome to the family.' I now knew why he looked the way he did earlier. The Minister was shocked by all this information. He looked at me and I saw sympathy in his eyes. I knew that the sympathy wasn't because I had just found out that my whole life has been one big lie or because I just found out who my real parents were, it was because he knew that I knew he tried everything in his power too get him killed even after he was told that he was innocent and of course now he is dead somewhere in the middle of the Ministry floating around in a veil. I found out later that he wasn't too fond of my mother either, doesn't like slayers, thinks they're barbaric and unnecessary. After Narcissa's little speech, she sat down and waited for the argument to come. The captain of the special elite Auror team stood up and declared that they should charge Riddle Manor and take out as many deatheaters as possible. Then someone else stood up, it was crazy, I swear he looked exactly like Umbridge minus the bow and the pink cardigan…" Remus laughed. "I found out that it was her little brother. He said that we should not risk loosing precious time or numbers at the word of a deatheater, he went on 'Just because she ties up her husband and claims that these twins exist doesn't mean it is true, and who is this mystery Malfoy? Since when has Lucius had any siblings?" Fudge went white and Narcissa stood up lifting up her left sleeve. 'Does it look like I am a deatheater? I hate all of them! Every single one of them! I didn't even want to marry Lucius! I was threatened by my own family! And Lucius has always had a sister, she was younger then him and had been disowned from the family at the age of 10.' just then Arthur Weasley stood up. He looked over in my direction and started speaking 'I knew about the twins, I was there when they were born. So she can't be lying about that. Everything in her story fits; I believe her and will go anywhere as long as it's against the dark lord. Anything that will weaken He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named should be used against him. All we have been doing is sitting back, trying not to get hurt…WE ARE AT WAR! There is no way that people aren't going to be lost. Its either we fight him and die deteriorating his army or we wait until he attacks us at full power and takes us over. It is only a matter of time before it will happen, we should attack now while we still have got a chance. And you owe it to Sirius…' Fudge seemed to pale even more. He looked at Dumbledore, Mr. Weasley then Narcissa and they all gave him a look that I will never be able to explain, and then he looked back at me and nodded slightly to himself. He stood up and cleared his throat 'I believe that we should organize a strike team that will wipe out his numbers' he looked back over at me and said 'I also believe a search and rescue team is in order. So we better get on it. I want the teams ready by tomorrow morning. We leave at noon. Dismissed.' The Aurors took Lucius and then everyone left except Mr. Weasley. That's when he came up to me and offered that I could stay with their family. Dumbledore said that I should so I did and you know how that turned out." Remus did know…
He was staying at the Burrow also because they figured that Grimauld place was not safe because they did not know who it now belonged to anymore. Molly ordered him to stay there with them. It was about 9 at night; everyone had just finished dinner but Remus and Molly where still in the kitchen. When Arthur popped in and Remus noted he looked a little nervous. He nodded at Remus and Molly turned around.
"What's wrong Arthur? Has something happened? He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Harry?" with everything she said it worked her up even more. Remus always thought it was incredible how Molly and Arthur always knew what the other was feeling.
"Now, now Molly it's nothing like that…we are going to be having another guest staying with us. I popped ahead of them because I wanted to worn you…"
"Warn me? Warn me of what? Are they dangerous?" She was getting worked up again.
"He isn't dangerous it's just that when you see him I don't want you to over react…he isn't who he seems…He just found out some horrible information and Remus I wanted to tell you now…He is Sirius's son…" I stared at him.
"H…How can that be? How do you know? Did they find Alicia?"
"No his adoptive mother told us. He was living with…" Just then the heard someone come through the fire place. Remus jumped up and nearly ran through the hallway into the living room and he stopped short with Molly right behind him. They couldn't believe their eyes; there standing next to Dumbledore was Draco Malfoy. Draco was looking in admiration at all the little trinkets that filled the room. Remus composed himself as did Molly. Draco turned around and smiled at them.
"I love your house Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. It is way better then Malfoy Manor!" They could all tell he really meant it too. He turned around to look at the clock with all the member's of the Weasley clan on it; all pointing to home except Percy which was pointing to work. Mrs. Weasley looked up at the clock also.
"Oh dear…Where are we going to put you?"
"PUT HIM! WHAT DO YOU MEAN PUT HIM? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING HIM ANYWHERE?" It was Ginny. They looked up and saw that all the Weasley children minus Percy on the staircase looking down at them
"I've got an idea, why don't we put him in the attic with the ghoul." It was one of the twins.
"Good idea George." Said Fred.
"No way then he would be close to me!" Ron said.
"Oh stop complaining Ron." Charlie said. "Look on the bright side…" he was cut off by Bill.
"Yeah maybe they'll bang on pipes together and make a musical orchestra so good you can record them all night and then go and sell the tapes for billions of galleons each."
"Exactly." Charlie said, walking down the stairs into the living room with Bill.
"What exactly is he doing here mum? Dad? Remus?" Ginny said, getting worked up just like her mother. Draco looked like he was going to be sick.
"What's with the face Malfoy? Hate this house that much? I bet its better then your stupid Manor by far!" Ron said getting red.
"It is BETTER then the manor I have lived in for the last fifteen years of my life, I DON'T hate it AT ALL, AND I AM NOT A MALFOY!" They all stared.
"You're not a Malfoy?" Fred said. George interrupted. "Then who are you exactly?
"You really like our house better then a Manor?" Bill said.
"Why?" Charlie asked.
"You're only 15?" Everyone looked at Ginny. "WHAT? He said he was!"
"Actually Ms. Weasley, he didn't live with the Malfoy's until he was a year old. He lost his Parents the same night as Harry, as well as his sister. Which we are going to find tomorrow afternoon." No one could speak.
"Alex is still alive too!" Remus blurted out.
"Oh yes but she isn't on good terms. She is living with Lord Voldemort. He has claimed her as an heir because she has powers beyond even my own but she doesn't know it because she was raised by Muggles and has been locked in a room for a year now. She has only been let out to be tortured and such. As for young Damien here...he hasn't had much better…" Draco looked up in Horror. Everyone saw it. "Oh yes I almost forgot the introductions. Draco you know everyone here except Bill and Charlie Weasley, correct?" Draco nodded. "Well know you do know them. Everyone I would like you to meet Damien Black." Ginny fainted. Fred and George looked like someone hit them with a truck, Bill and Charlie were blank, and it didn't seem to faze Ron a bit because he still looked really pissed.
"Well now I must be going. I have to go and offer my assistance at the ministry." And with that he walked out the door and vanished.
Draco was staring at everyone who was in turn staring at him. Just then Ginny shot up a screamed. "YOU ARE SIRIUS'S SON! WHEN THE HELL DID HE DO THAT! Why didn't he ever tell us? You guys knew too didn't you! Why didn't you tell us?" Ginny fuming but she also had tears rolling down her face.
"Well, we all thought that they had died that night…" Remus looked at Draco; he caught him right before he fell to the ground.
Molly had been trying to wake Draco up for hours with the help of a still fuming Ginny. They hadn't had much luck so far. Around midnight Remus went into the kitchen where Molly had transfigured the table into a bed so that they could work in there.
"Remus I have no idea what is wrong with him. It seems as if he collapsed from blood loss, look how pale he is." She was right. He looked very pale indeed.
"He hasn't lost any blood. His heart is normal and blood is flowing normally and his lungs areas healthy as they can get." Ginny looked anxious. "It's a week away from the full moon." He said answering correctly to her suspicions. Just then Draco started screaming and thrashing around on the bed.
"That is one nasty nightmare!" Ginny yelled trying to hold Draco down.
"I don't think it is just any nightmare, look…" Remus said pointing to the bed and backing up.
"Molly looked at Remus suspiciously then realization dawned on her and she ripped of the blankets. There was Draco screaming and whipping around in a bed of blood…his own blood. Then three lines cut across one side of his face like a tiger had scratched him.
Ginny gasped and pointed at his right arm. There were scratches all up and down both arm but the one in particular was the one that was just forming. They all looked down at his arm; it looked like someone was carving the dark mark into his skin with their fingernail. He started to trash more and with one wild thrash he opened his eyes and fell off Ginny's side of the bed on his hands and knees. His shirt rose up a bit and Ginny screamed. Remus and Molly came around the bed and both gasped at the sight in front of them. Draco was on his hands and knees facing away from them, his shirt had rode up giving them a clear view of the wounds on his back. There were whip lashes all up and down his back from what they could see. Some of them were new, which were probably from his nightmare, but most of them were old. Draco started to retch. Molly was the first to recover; she ran and got a bucket. She got to him just in time for him to grab the bucket and puke into it. Just then the rest of the Weasleys could be heard coming down the stairs, in no time they were in the room.
"Oh my god! What do you guy's do to him!" Fred said.
"Fred, George, go floo and get Dumbledore…NOW!" Arthur said.
"Charlie, Bill, help me put him back on the bed." Molly said trying to lift the very limp Draco on to the bed. "Ginny find all the bandages you can manage. Ron get me some hot water…RON!" Ron just stood there looking at Draco then he turned and walked off.
"I got it mum." Bill said. Arthur was busy trying to pull Remus out of the room because he had a very hungry look of his face. Ginny came back into the room with a whole basket of bandages, no body even bothered to ask where she got that many bandages. She looked over at Remus and jumped back, his eyes were yellow and his pupils were slited like a werewolf's. Remus saw the fear in her eyes and he fought against it to get back to his normal self. Arthur noticed this and stopped trying to get him into the other room.
Charlie, Ginny and Molly were cleaning and dressing Draco's wounds as Bill went back and forth bringing hot water. They had decided it would be best not to do things by magic because they didn't know what effect it would have on him. A few minutes later Fred and George came running in behind Dumbledore.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked walking up to the side of the bed. Molly nodded to Ginny indicating for her to tell him.
"Well sir, right after you left Malf…Damien... blacked out, and we were trying to wake him up. A few minutes ago he started twisting and thrashing around, screaming. Remus smelt the blood on him and then he woke up fell off the bed we saw whip lashings, new ones we figure are from his dream and old ones that are obviously his. Then he started spewing all over and the rest of the family came down and we started dressing his wound the muggle way because we figured that since that dream was not normal that we shouldn't use magic in case it did something to him. Then you came in." Ginny ducked her head. Dumbledore smiled at her.
"It was correct for you not to use magic for it would have not only affected him in a destructive manner, but also the real person who was being harmed." Ginny was confused for only a second then her mouth dropped.
"You don't think…but how…why hasn't it happened before now?" Dumbledore chuckled.
"You are a very smart girl, but I am afraid I cannot answer that, the only person who can answer that is lying in that bed." Dumbledore looked down at Ginny and she nodded and went back to help.
"Remus come over here." Dumbledore said. Remus walked over.
"So you think that Alex and Damien are connected. That's what happened."
"Yes that is what I believe. We have all heard of the connections twins have…I have never heard of something like this however. Then again they are both more powerful then they think."
"Do you think that since they are still alive that Bethanie still is as well?"
"Harry's twin? Possibly. I think we are going to have some homework this summer." Dumbledore chuckled at his own joke while Remus stood there. "After they patch him up we should take him to Poppy."
"Um…sir…I think he would feel more comfortable here…maybe Madame Pomfrey can come here. I don't think Molly would mind."
"I think you are right Remus. He did seem to like this house. Very well I will speak with Poppy and return in ten minutes. He seems stable at the moment. Molly, you might want to more him to a room."
"Yes, I think you are right…where are we going to put him?"
"You can put him in my room, it's the closest." Ginny said.
"Remember don't use magic around him for the time being. We don't know what effect it will have on him." Dumbledore said. "I am going to get Madame Pomfrey, I will be back soon." With that he walked out the door and apperated.
"Charlie will you carry him up. Ginny go up and get it ready, open the door pull back the covers, you know."
"Yes mum." Ginny ran up the stairs. Charlie went to pick Draco up.
"Be careful Charlie." Molly said. Charlie nodded and tried to pick him up but he screamed like a banshee and tears filled his eye. Charlie leaded down and whispered to him.
"Ok, I have to pick you up. It is going to hurt but I will try to be as careful as possible. Ok?" Draco nodded very slowly his eyes shut very tight as if he was preparing for what was to come. Then very quickly Charlie grabbed Draco around his waist and threw him onto his shoulder.
"What happened to being careful?" Bill said.
"It was the best way. If I had done it slowly he would have been in a lot more pain, right Damien?" They didn't get and answer, Draco had passed out.
Right after they had gotten Draco comfortable in Ginny's room, Madame Pomfrey and Dumbledore came.
"Perfect timing I see." Dumbledore chuckled.
"So it is another Black that I have to deal with? Well I guess it won't be much different, at least I got a small break from them. I had of course started getting use to the fact that I wouldn't have another accident prone Black on my hands ever again! Oh well, when do prayers ever come true anyways?" Madame Pomfrey said. Everyone stared at her as she went to work on Draco mumbling to herself except when she ordered someone to get her something.
It took her about an hour to get everything all fixed up. She told them that they were now able to do minor magic in his presence.
"He was connected to whoever was getting hurt and it left some powerful magical residue on him. Whatever it was, it was very powerful, I don't think even Merlin himself could have done something powerful enough to leave that much residue. But enough about that… Molly…" Se turned to Molly and handed her a small circular pendant. "If something happens and you need me just hold the pendant and say my name, I will be here within the next minute. So till next time, see you tomorrow Albus. Good morning to all." With that she gathered all her stuff and walked out.
"We should all get some sleep. I believe someone should watch over young Damien here, make sure he gets through the night alright." Dumbledore said. Ginny looked up.
"I might as well do it since this is my room."
"Plus she yells the loudest." George said.
"Good point." Charlie said and they both laughed.
"I think that is a good idea. Well I best be off too. Make sure to get your rest for tomorrow. Maybe we can end this war without endangering too many lives."
"That would be good, especially for Harry. It would be great if he didn't have that enormous burden on his shoulders." Arthur said. Everyone was silent.
"Yes it would be an enormous help. Well Good dreams I hope, especially for Mr. Black." Dumbledore said. Remus looked up as if he had just remembered something extremely important.
"Oh Albus! Are you going to tell Severus?"
"Oh yes, I had forgotten about that. Yes Remus I shall inform him as soon as I get back. Of course he won't be to happy, he will probably try to track down Voldemort himself. Well goodnight, don't worry Remus, I will make sure he doesn't leave the castle." Dumbledore chuckled and waved goodbye then left the burrow.
"Well everyone off to bed now. We have had a long night." Molly said.
Everyone filed out except Ginny and Remus. Remus pulled over two chairs and sat down in one of the and motioned for Ginny to take the other. Ginny looked skeptical.
"What? You look like I am about to eat your face off." Remus chuckled at himself.
"And you aren't!" Ginny said anger in her voice. "You almost tore him into pieces a little while ago."
"Well, it was the blood. Being so close to the full moon, I can't really control it all too well. But There is no blood now so don't worry, there will be no face eating or body parts being torn into bight sized pieces tonight." Remus laughed at this and Ginny couldn't help but smile. "I can tell there is something else on your mind. Care to tell?"
Ginny looked at him.
"Well I am a little confused." Remus just looked at her. "About Snape."
"Ah, yes, Snape. I think we all get a little confused when he is in the frame." They both laughed, and then Remus got serious. "You wondering what Dumbledore is going to tell him and why. Well I'll tell you straight out. Alexandra is Damien's twin, and Severus is Alexandra's godfather as well as I am Damien's." Ginny just stared at him mouth open.
"Flies Ginny." Remus smiled as she closed her mouth extremely fast.
"So you are his godfather and Snape is Alexandra's? Snape actually has a fatherly piece in him? He actually cares?" Remus nodded. "Wow."
"Yeah you should have seen him when all this happened. When Alicia left, that's their mother's name, Alicia Malfoy."
"Malfoy!" Ginny said.
"Yes, but it isn't what you think. You see, she was disowned by the Malfoy's when she was 10 years old. She never liked her family anyways. I think that's part of the reason she agreed to leave. She was younger then Lucius and they always got in fights. I remember when we first came to Hogwarts Alicia we all met on the train. I met Alicia out on the deck and I had a feeling that she knew what I was just by looking at me. We became friend and we went into one of the compartments. That's when Sirius came in. It was funny because I could tell that they had met before but neither wanted to show it. Sirius was introducing himself and being flamboyant as usual. I started laughing because Sirius was being exceedingly colorful right as James walked in with Peter. Everyone introduced themselves to each other and then Lily came in and you know now that I think about it her and Hermione are almost exactly alike. (A/N: Remember that this is before everyone finds out about Hermione being Bethanie. It's a little clue for Remus to find out later)
Well anyways. We were all becoming good friends and getting along except Lily was kind of skeptical of Sirius and James. Then Lucius walked in like he was the king of the rock…well world in his mind. Lucius looked around and saw Alicia and smirked.
"Nice crowd you decided to hang around with. Seems just the type for you."
"Shut up Lucius. You should just shut your ugly pathetic face and crawl back to that hell hole you call a house!" I could see the sparks coming from Alicia.
"Well just because you had a horrible time there doesn't mean that everybody else does too. I personally love our life…well my life seeing as it isn't yours anymore, little sister." Lucius laughed at her. Sirius stood up.
"Lucius, you should leave now."
"Well, well, well. Sirius Black. I would have thought you would have been with the better crowd. You know real people."
Alicia and Sirius flew at Lucius; Sirius tackled him and held him down while Alicia hit him. Me and James picked them off of him. Sirius got under control faster then Alicia, I had to hold her back with all my strength. James let go of Sirius and Sirius went over to Lucius and whispered something in his ear then kicked him into the hallway.
Alicia calmed down a bit when Sirius closed the door on Lucius' fingers. I sat her down on the seat and saw that Lucius had got a few punches in as well, Alicia was sporting a black eye and cut lip while Sirius had a cut eyebrow and a nice bruise on his cheekbone with the Malfoy family crest on it. Alicia of course took one look at this and burst out laughing. Sirius poked it and winced.
"That better not stay. I swear if he goes around telling everyone that he owns me…I am going to go home get one of the nice (horrible) silver, family shields and beat him to a bloody pulp with it." Alicia laughed harder. Everyone laughed at the look on Sirius's face. Of course they got about three works worth of detention and they all got in many more fights but I think that was the best. As a matter of fact I think after the sixth one Lily started recording them. I've got to look for that." Remus finished and Ginny was deep red because she was laughing so hard.
"How many fights did they get in? Did they beat him up every time? Wow that's hilarious!"
"Actually as of seventh year I think the total count was 172…"
"Actually Remus it was 174." Ginny and Remus spun around in their chair at the new voice. Remus had his wand out but then dropped it at the sight in front of him.
A/N: OK I was writing this and I kept writing and writing and then this suddenly came to me and the only way it can work is if I leave you with this fabulous cliffhanger smiles then is beat over the head with giant alligator by readers well you guys probably already know who it is but I'm not telling anyways. So how did you like it? I know it is kind of funky and confusing with all the flashback and crap but that's the fun of writing. You will sit there and be writing and then you delete half of what you just wrote because you have a flash back that makes it so much better! That's what happened to me. At first I was writing just having Draco talking to Remus telling him about his summer but then I thought Why not have them be staying at the Weasley then I thought why not have it from Remus's view then why not have Draco have a funky dream that makes him all funky then have Ginny get all worked up and then Remus tells her stuff then…ha ha… thought you would get the next part did ya? Nope not going to tell you nothing. Well I also wanted to tell you that I decided to name the next chapter Reminiscing part 2 because I added the Reminiscing part 1 just after I finished writing.
Well for all you who were wondering about my nice trip to Las Vegas… I was nice and HOT! Ok well it is ALWAYSS hot in Vegas but anyway I thought I should worn you…and this is coming from the bottomless pit herself… Don't eat the food at the Paris! It is evil! I mean it was ok for a $26 buffet that one night I mean trust me I am the one who officially decided to eat every singe dessert they had, well I thought I should also tell you that I almost succeeded if there hadn't been any ice-cream…
Well I saw "We will rock you" and dare I say it… It ROCKED! And I also spent lots of time and lots of money at all the arcades in Vegas…well not quite all of them. The "arcade" in Bally's is pathetic. I think there was a total of 15 games in there. And it was in a hidden hall way. I still worship the Excalibur. I got a cool cup because I got a Pina Colada (virgin of course seeing as I am the ripe old age of 15) and I saw A Knights Tournament there… It Ruled! Ok I have got to stop with the lame puns. Ok the last night we were there sucked. I ordered a movie and all was great. The movie ended at 11 my dad fell asleep like right away, I was tossing and turning until 1:30 and I finally fell asleep. Guess what happened at 3:30…someone set off the fire alarm. Yep… all I here is boop, boop, boop…yeah it was a boop… And then some lady's voice saying 'We are checking into the noise you just heard please stay calm.' Yeah stay calm…I'll give you calm…I put my pillow over my head and tried to ignore it. BOOP, BOOP, BOOP! I get up. Me and my dad open the door and we can't see the hallway. Yay. I'm in a bad mood. I was about ready to kill the person who set the fire. I look down the hall, that I couldn't see and the first thing that came to my head was 'someone was smoking a cigar they dropped it on the chair, the chair burst into flames they jumped up spilled all their bourbon on the chair it spread to the curtains, the got a fire extinguisher, that set off the alarm and put out the fire (because there were no flames, no orange dancing in my vision) then went back to their bourbon. That is were all this smoke came from.' Then I realized there is no smoke smell. Now I was really pissed. Someone played a fire prank at 3:30 in the fucking morning right down the hall from me and god I will kick their sorry asses! Well anyways, security was all 'OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!' And then they calmed down. Me and my dad went down stairs for a while then came back up and everything was cleaned up so I go back to bed, can't get back to sleep till 4:45, I wake up at 6 to the stupid alarm clock. Yippee we get to go to the AIRPORT and be searched endlessly because a terrorist is really going to use toenail clippers and belt buckles (not to mention their evil sweaters) to take down a plane. Yep and this terrorist happened to be a 15 year old girl. YESSS! I get to fly a plane into a building! Woo hoo. Oh don't you love sarcasm. I am not taking down a plane ok because I am one of those people who can't sit behind the wing because they are afraid of what they will see, and they can't sit in front of the wing because they are afraid of what they won't see and of course they can't sit next to the wing because think of how many people are going to die because you couldn't open the emergency exit properly. Yep scared of flying. Well there you go now you know. So on word to next chappie after I eat because I just got to the point where I feel like I will fall over and puke if I don't eat something just think of it as my 4:30 am snack.
