Chapter 5: School Rivalry!
Their next day started classes for all the students. When Harry and Draco and his friends were ready they went to the Gryffindor Common Room and waited outside for Dursley. The Slytherin's and Grffindor's had all their classes together. When Harry saw Dudley walk of from the Fat Lady's paortrait. He stood up and walked towards him.
"Can Lily Snape walk with to classes today?" Dudley asked. Looking at Harry and waiting for a reply.
"Sure she can Dudley. She can sit with us too if she'd like!" Draco said walking towards Harry and Dudley. Lily walked out from the Fat Lady's Portait with a smile on her face. She had heard the conversation and was happy to be invited.
"Thank You Draco!" She said as she walked towards them. His peircing silver eyes we're filled with such kindness. She had became good friends with Pansy on the train ride over so she stuck very close to her through out the day. Pansy didn't mind she liked Lily and she was happy to be hanging out with a girl. She loved her bestfriends very much but being around guys all time didn't let her be a girl as much as she wanted.
"Can Millicent sit with us today?" Pasny asked Lily.
"Doesn't bother me, she was very nice on the boat ride over!" Lily said as they sat down in their seats awaiting for class to start. Pansy rose her hand as she waved for Millicent to come over and sit with them.
"Millicent, over here! We saved you a seat.!" Pasny said as she stood up to get her attention. The boys sat behind them in class and the girl's sat infront of them. When the rest of the Gryffindor's came into class and sat down they looked over to see two Gryffindors associating with a group of Slytherins and they all got confused looks on their face.
" I share a room with that girl over there!" Lily said pointing at Hermoine.
"How is she?" Asked Pansy. Having an annoyed look on her face. She didn't want her new found friend taken away by a Gryffindor.
"She's okay, very book smart! She could be a good friend Pansy?" She asked Pansy as if it were a question.
" Hermoine Granger?" Pansy yelled across the room.
" Yes!" Hermoine said standing up with a jolt of energy.
"Would you like to come and sit with us?" Pansy asked quite politly. Hermoine looked at her Gryffindor House mates then looked at Lily. She had liked Lily very much and she was the only girl so far that have showed her any kindness. Hermoine stood up and grabbed her books and started walking over to go sit with Lily and Pansy.
"Hello, I'm Hermoine Granger!" she said with a half smile not knowing what she should say.
"This is Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle." Pasny looked up at the boys and then introduced them one by one.
" I'm Pansy Parkinson, and this is Millicent Blastrode! You know Lily Snape and Dudley Dursey I presume." Pansy said with a smile.
"Hello Everyone!" Hermoine said kindly with an excited look on her face.
"Hermoine, You know that red-head boy over there is giving you googly eyes?" Blaise said while laughing.
" Ronald Weasly!" Dudley said. " He's in my dorms with a couple of others! Quite the no it all if you ask me!" Dudley said looking at Lily and Hermoine. They both nodded in agreement. Professor Snape walked into the classroon and everything got silent.
"There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantation's in this classroom!" Snape said as he lowerd all the curtains in the classroom. Lily had never seen her dad like this so she was quite shocked. Snape looked at Lily and smiled.
"Lily? Why are Dudley, Hermoine, and yourself sitting with Slytherin?" Snape asked as he walked towards them.
"Well, Dudley is Harry Potter's cousin. I made friends with Pansy Parkinson on the train ride here, and Hermoine Granger is in my dorms! They are my friends!" Lily said with a huge smile on her face. Severus had known Lily didn't have many friends since she had an old lady follwering her around for most of her life. So He was quite happy for his daughter but didn't show it. During class they kept getting snears and rude comments from the Gryffindor side.
" They are traitor's. Normal for a Snape though. Didn't think Granger and Dursley had it in them though!" Ron said while doing his home with Nevile Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, and Dean Thomas. They all agreed with smirks and nodding their heads. Lily tried her best to ignore them but her face got sad.
"Don't worry about it Lily, We have your back! We are your friends now!" Said Pansy looking at her friends as they smiled in aggrement.
"Thanks Pansy!" Lily said with a smile that came up across her face. As Potion's Class got done Severus asked for Lily to stay behin for a moment.
"We'll wait for you outside Lily!" Pansy said with a smile.
"Lily keep your bangs down alright?" Severus said as he moved Lily's bangs over her scar.
"Yes, Father!" Lily said in embarrasment. She knew she wasn't alowed to show her scar to anyone cause it could put her in danger.
"Lily are you sure you want to be their friends, they are Slytherin's?" Severus asked with concern.
" You're a Slytherin father!" Lily said that put a smirk on her face.
" I don't know how you got into Gryffindor, you are just like me!" Severus said with a chuckle.
"It's probably from my mother, Lily Potter!" Lily said with a smile. Severus shot up and stopped laughing.
" Who told you that?" Her father yelled.
"Well, Mr. Ollivander said something about it back in Diagon Alley, and one of the portraits called me Lily Evan's!" Lily said nervously. "When I corected him he said she must be my mother!" Lily finished as she sat down in a chair.
"Lily Evan's was the love of my life. She is you're mother." Severus said with forgiving eyes.
"So Harry is my brother?" She asked her father.
"Your twin Lily!" Severus said as he put his head down.
" I don't understand!" She had a confused look onn her face.
"Your mother Lily was a very powerful witch. When she had gotten a fight with her husband James she came to me for comfort. Later on that night James had gotten Lily to come back home. A week later she found out she was pregnant with twins. When she told me I was overwhelmed. Thinking one of them could be mine I made the grave mistake of turning to my darkside." Severus said as his daughter cut him off.
"Father, You don't have to talk about that part!" Lily said knowing her father would cry.
"When the war was over and I went to the Potter's house in Godric's Hallow to pick up Harry you were there as well! When I brought you two to Professor Dumbledore he wanted you two to be split up so no harm could be done to the both of you. Cause everyone knew of Harry Potter and none of you, Dumbledore thought it would be better of me to take you, Lily and pass you off as my one." Severus said as he started to cry.
"Which one of us is your child?" Lily asked.
"Harry is my actual son, Lily!" Severus said neverously. Lily got up and ran out of the classroom passing Pansy, Hermoine, Harry, Draco, Dudley and Blaise. Harry had been listening to the conversation through the crack in the door. Pansy ran after her trying to find out what was wrong.
" Lily Snape is my sister?" Harry said out loud so that his friends could hear him.
"Snape is my father?" Harry said confusinly. They started walking in the direction that Pansy ran off to find Lily.
"Seems Logical don't you think?" Draco said smirking. " How could the son of two Gryffindor's be sorted into Slytherin! Then the daughter of a Slytherin being sorted into Gryffindor?" Draco said looking for Pansy.
" He's got a point there Harry!" Said Blaise trying to catch up to his friends. Harry nodded eventhough he was confused. The finally found Lily and Pansy in the corridor near their next class.
"We know!" Draco said as he walked up to the girls.
"How could he have lied to me for 13 years?" Lily said while sobbing on Harry's soilder.
"He was trying to protect us Lily!" Harry said while triyng to comfort Lily.
"Lily, He's right you know?" Hermoine said as she caught up with the group and stood next to Pansy.
"You both would have been a walking target if you guys stuck together. Them putting you with the Dursley's would have brought out suspision. He only wanted to keep both of you safe." Draco said in a calm tone. Lily sat up and looked at all her friends that were trying to comfort her and gave them all hugs.
" Harry after classes are over could you come with me and talk to my dad together?" Lily asked.
" Of course Lily, I'd do anything for you!" Harry said with a surprising look on his face. They walked to their next class as a group. They all sat down and started talking about other things to get their mind off the new they just got.
"Hermoine is hott isnt she?" Draco said with a smile on his face.
"I think Lily is cute!" Blaise said looking at Harry for permission. Harry nodded. Blaise was one if his best friends, he could trust him.
"To be honest, Doesn't Pansy look like she's grown up? I could snog her right now!" Harry said getting flushed in his cheeks.
"The girl we've been friends with since we were three? Are you mad?" Draco asked with a snear.
" I know it's weird but I found myself thinking about her ever since our birthday party" Harry answered with a smile.
"I think she fancy's you the same Harry!" Dudley chimned in. " I overheard her talking about it with Millicent while we were waiting for Lily after class!" Dudley said with a smile. Though he was sorted into Gryffindor he had Slytherin tendencies.
"You guys should go for it!" Said Vincent and Gregory at the same time. Though they were only friends they acted like twins half the time. They had all smiled they were trying to think of ways to ask out the girls they fancied.
"You better before someone else does!" Sneared another Slytherin named Theadore Nott. Harry Leaned over and tapped Pansy Parkinson on the shoulder.
"You wanna study later? For potion's?" Harry asked. She turned around and gave a subtle nod. All of his friends gave him a pat on the back.
"It's that easy for you?" Blaise said with a sad look on his face. Harry looked at him then tapped Lily on the shoulder.
"Wanna eat lunch with Blaise tomorrow? He fancy's you a lot?" Harry said with a smile. Blaise was all flustered but nodded his head in agreement when Lily looked at him.
"Of course I would! But your paying!" She said with a laugh. Then turned around and started talking about it with the girls.
"Draco, Are you going to grow balls or am I going to have to do it for you?" Harry said while looking at Hermoine.
"Oh, Very well then." Draco said as he tapped Hermoine on the back. " Would you like to study with me tomorrow night? Maybe you can help me with Miggle Studies?" Draco said waiting for an answer.
"Sounds good, just bring your books!" Hermoine said with a smile. Draco looked back at his freinds with a smirk on his face. When they were done talking Draco noticed Ron getting close to Millicent. He looked as if he was going to do a trick on her. All 6 boy's stood up and took their wands out pionting it at Ron.
"Dont you dare Weasley! Put it away!" Draco said in a protecting voice. All 4 girls looked over to see what was hapening.
" You don't deserve to be a Gryffindor!" Lily and Hermoine said together protecting their freind. Professor McGonagal walked into the classroom and told everyone to be seated. When she started the lesson none of them could let go of the anger they had towards Ron Weasley for trying to prank their friend. When class was over they all noticed Ron run out of class and they all couldn't help but smile.
Lily and Harry walked to Professor Snapes classroom, as they entered the classroom Severus was holding his head by his knees.
"Sir, Can we speak to you?" Harry Said as they walked closer to his desk.
"I know what your going to say!" Severus said looking a Lily.
"Actually, Just wanted to ask if you were my father?" Harry said.
" Yes." Severus answered with a heavy heart.
" I know you were just trying to protect us Dad!" Lily said as she walked over to her father and gave him a hug.
" It's just you remind me of Lily so much I couldn't bear to tell you the truth and have you hate me!" Severus said looking at Harry.
" What about me? Were you ever going to tell me?" Harry asked while he grabbed a chair and sat infront of Severus desk.
" I was going to tell both of you this year but just didn't know how to do it!' Severus said looking at Harry.
"I don't want to leave my Aunt and Uncle Sir!" Harry said with sadness in his voice.
" I would never make you do that Harry! But there is a house with their names assigned to deed incase they ever wanted it. Your mother and father left you both a house and a bank and gringotts. Now Lily before you get upset, I didn't want you to get suspected as Harry's twin, I would have to show verification that you were infact the owner of the vault and that would let everyone know our secret." Severus said.
"You did the best you could dad! That's all I ever wanted!" Lily said as she grabbed a seat and sat next to Harry. Severus had gone to tell them what had happened that night at Godric's Hallow and what Professor Dumbledore had said. They both were very happy and hugged Severus before leaving the classroom to go to dinner.
"Lily. Do you like Blaise?" Harry asked as they were walking to the great hall.
"Oh yes, I think he's charming and cute. He's one of your best friends as well and I know you'd never let anything happen to me. So I trust him." Lily Smiled. When they entered the Great Hall no one was with their house. Everyone was scattered around with their friends. When they looked over to the Slytherin table all their freinds were waving for them To come over. Everyone was sitting as a couple which bothered Harry at first cause Vincent was sitting nect to Pansy. When he came over Vincent moved down and Harry sat next to Pansy. Draco was sitting next to her Hermoine, her head was in a book but Draco didn't mind. He just smiled and shoved food in his mouth. Lily went and sat next to Blaise but he was too interested in his food to look.
"How'd it go?" Asked Draco. Hermoine dropped her and turned her head to listen.
" Went quite well acctually. Dudley do you think Aunt and Uncle would want to move into the wizarding world. There's a house that Professor Snape says we can move into whenever we'd like?" Harry said looking down the table Dudley.
"Mom would love too! Though not sure about Dad! Sure Mom could get him to do it though!" Dudley said while chewing on some bread.
"We'll send an Owl tonight and ask them!" Harry said nodding his head at Dudley. They all finished eating dinner then seprated to go to bed. Harry had wrote a letter to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia and gave it to Hedwig.
"Number 4 Privet Drive, Whinging, Surrey!" Harry said as he let the owl go from his arm. Harry went to bed for the night. He arose to find a letter from his Aunt and Uncle sitting on the windowsill of the Slytherin Tower. It read:
Harry,
Eventhough Vernon seems a but hesitant I know he'll turn around. Just Owl me the address and we'll be moved in before you boy's come home for the summer.
Aunt Petunia
Harry smiled when he read this. He couldn't wait to tell Lily. As Harry hurried up and got dressed he ran out of the Slytherin Common rooms and waited for Lily outside of the Gryffindor Commons.
"Lily, Lily my Aunt and Uncle said we could move into the house as soon as I send the address." Harry said as Lily stepped out of the Fat Lady's Portrait.
"Got to go tell my dad!" Lily said as they made their way to Potions early.
"Dad, Harry needs that address, his Aunt and Uncle agreed to move in to that house you were talking about" Lily said as she ran up to her father.
"It's right next door, Lily!" Severus said looking at his daughter.
"10398 Spinner's End, Harry" Lily said as she was grInning with happiness. Harry grabbed a peice of parchment and wrote down the address and gave it to Hedwig to take to his Aunt and Uncle. They sat down in their seats and waited for their friends to arrive for class. Everyone was in class except Hermoine and Draco started to get worried.
"Where's Hermoine? She's never late! She loves school too much!" Draco said with a worried voice. Hermoine walked in with Professor Snape and she had been crying Draco knew something was wrong.
" Ronald Weasly can I see you in the hallway?" Snape said with a aggravated tone. Hermoine took her seat next to Draco and took out her books.
" What happened Hermoine?" Pansy asked.
" Ron wrote Slytherin lover all over her stuff and spray painted her clothes with "traitor" this morning!" Dudley said sadly finally siting down in his seat.
" I fought back for her but there were too many of them!" Dudley said as he looked at Harry.
"Foul Git!" Draco said as he put his arm around Hermoine to comfort her.
" He'll get what he deserve's!" Harry said with a scowl. Professor Snaped walked in with Ronald right behind him.
"Detention for 2 weeks with Snape!" Ron said glaring over at Harry.
" Well worth it if you ask me!" Dean Thomas said as Ron sat back down.
"Sorry you had to go through that Hermoine!" Draco said with a sympethetic tone in his voice."If you want to we can call off our date?" Draco said as he raised his hand off of Hermoine. She looked up at him and kissed him on the lips. When she was done the whole class was loking at Draco and her.
"A mudblood and a Malfoy? Don't make me laugh! You're dad's going to kill you when he finds out!" Ron said from accross the room. Draco stood up and pionted his wand at Ron.
" For your information my Dad already knows. I sent him an Owl last night telling him about Hermoine." Draco said as Harry and Blaise nodded in conformation. " One of my best friends is a mudblood, and he very much likes Dudley! So keep your comments to yourself you foul git!" Draco said getting more angry.
"Sit down Malfoy, Weasley! You can bicker after class!" Severus said with a scoul. For the rest of class everyone was quiet and doing their homework. After potions everyone went to their first Flying class with Madam Hooch. Everyone was excited to fly even Ron which everyone noticed because he was screaming in joy from the back of the group.
"Everyone stand by a broom and say up!" Madam Hooch had said.
"Up!" said Harry and Draco and their brooms came up right away. Everyone else followed. Ron was the last one who's broom came up but not before it hit him in the face.
"Now mount your brooms and at the sound of whistle you'll jump up from the ground hover for a monent and then get back down!" Professor said as she blew her whistle. Hermoine's broom flew up into the air and knocked her off her broom and she fell 50 ft straight to the ground. The Professor ran to Hermoine who had broken both her wrist and leg.
"You jinx'd her broom didn't you Weasley?" Draco said with a scowl.
"You'll never know will you Malfoy!" Ron said with a smirk and started getting pats on the back from other Gryffindor's.
"You've got enemies for life Weasley!" Harry said lokoing at Ron with evil eyes. When Hermoine was in the hospital wing she was never alone. Draco spent breakfast, lunch, and dinner with her. Bringing up food from the great hall and giving her company so she would be bored out of her mind. Harry and Pansy would come up after lunch and give Hermoine her homework from classes and spend time with her. Lily and Blaise would come up every other day after dinner and tell her everything that was going on with everyone. Hermoine was grateful for the company since she wasn't able to walk for 3 months.
Chapter 6: Hermoine in the Infirmary!
"Hermoine, Draco is here!" Madam Pomfrey said as she opened up her curtain.
"Draco, Good to see you!" Hermoine said as Draco sat down in the seat next to her bed.
"How are you feeling love?" Draco said with kindness in his voice.
"Doing better than yesterday. But Pomfrey says she still doesn't think I'm well enough to leave.
"You'll get there! We aren't letting this go! He will pay!" Draco said as he handed Hermoine a tray of food he had brought up from the Great hall.
"Draco don't he just wants to get a rise out of us!" Hermoine said with a smile. "He's just upset i like you and not him!" Hermoine said while she was eating some potatoes.
"You mean that?" Draco said with happiness in his voice.
"What don't think anyone could love someone like you?" Hermoine said with a chuckle.
"Love? Hermoine, Really?" Draco said as his heart fluttered.
"Draco, as much as you like other people to think that your tough and strong, you have a heart of gold!" Hermoine said as she took Draco's hand and held it.
"Hermoine!" A voice came from outside her curtains. Harry peaked his head through the curtain and walked in with Pansy by his side.
"Harry, Pansy how are you?" Hermoine asked.
"Good, are you two officially dating now?" Pansy asked as she saw that Hermoine and Draco were holding hands. Draco looked at Hermoine trying to find the right words to say.
"Yes Pansy, We are!" Hermoine said with great excitment. Draco's face lit up like a Christmas Tree.
"We'll we are two!" Harry said as he grabbed Pansy's hand.
"We'll look at this! Potter dating Parkinson, and Malfoy dating Granger! This will be great news to the school!" Ron said as he stood there amazed by what he saw. Draco and Harry shot up defending their girlfriends.
"Leave Weasley or You'll regret it!" Draco said as he whipped out his wand. Ron ran out of the room and the boys retreated their wands and put them back in the pockets.
"How dare he come in here like that, he has some nerve!" Pansy said looking at Hermoine.
"I think he has a crush on Hermoine!" Draco said with a scowl. Harry laughed as he grabbed Pansy's hand and left the Infirmary.
"I'll let you get some sleep Hermoine, See you tomorow morning!" Draco said as he placed a kiss on Hermoine's forehead. Hermoine had gotten out of the Infirmary for the last couple weeks of class before Winter break started. All the students were getting their trunks ready to go home for a couple weeks. Harry had gotten a note from his Aunt and Uncle. It had read:
Harry and Dudley,
We are at the new place on Spinner's End. Join Lily one the train ride home. We'll meet all 3 of you there. We'll be taking Lily with us for a couple hours, Her father will be held up at Hogwarts attending to a couple things before he cam come home for the Holidays.
Aunt Petunia
Harry got a small smile on his and went and told his freinds right away. He ran into Ron outside the Gryffindor Common Room while looking for Draco and Dudley.
"Not going home for the Holiday?" Harry asked Ron.
"My mother and father are visiting my brother Charlie in Romania. Don't got any family of your own to go home too?" Ron Snarled.
"My father is Professor Snape you git. I will be spening the Holiday's with my Aunt and Uncle and Dudley. Along with Severus and Lily." Harry said as he stood there looking for Dudley.
"Have fun with that. Estranged Family!" Ron said as he walked away and went into the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Dudley!" Harry yelled! Making Dudley turn around and almost fall.
"You ready? We are going home with Lily! Your Mom and Dad will be picking us up at the Train Station." Harry said with excitment. As he was grabbing his stuff Hermoine walked out of the Fat Lady's Portrait as well.
"Harry and I are going home with Lily for the Holiday's! Mom said that the house was ready!" Dudley said dragging his luggage behind him.
"My family and I are staying with Draco at The Malfoy Manor! My parents are absoluty excited!" Hermoine said with a smile on her face. All their friends were waiting for them before they got on the Hogwarts Express. Harry, Pansy, Draco, Hermoine, Blaise, and Lily all walked onto the Hogwarts Express and went to a compartment so sit in.
"My parent's are meeting us at the Train Station!" Hermoine said looking at Draco. Draco was absolutly excited for this Holiday. He was gleaming with joy. As the Train Landed in Kings Cross Station everyone ran to their families. They all said there goodbye's and were ready for vacation.
