A/N: I think I already put this at the start but people are asking so I'll just clear it all up. Bellatrix isn't related to the Black family, so neither is Mia to Draco.
Waking up besides another figure was strange. It was even stranger however for that figure to be Draco.
Sitting up slowly, Mia started to detach her hand from his, which somehow had stayed joined during the night, without waking him. Though she failed when the blondes currently grey looking eyes opened, revealing a sleepy, but awake Draco.
"Potions" he grumbled, sliding out of the covers and heading into the bathroom. Giving a nod and feeling just as exhilarated at the prospect of potions as he seemed, she turned just in time to see the blondes back disappearing behind the door. Well, he really had mastered that spell.
The whole day went fairly smoothly, and considering their second lesson had been defence against the dark arts with Gryffindor, Draco having behaved himself truly was an accomplishment. The teacher, professor Lupin, seemed decent, though he did have an odd air about him. Atleast he was better than Lockheart.
"Quidditch practice is in two weeks for Slytherin" Mia mused beside Ginny. It had been one of the first things she'd tried to find out at the start of school. Both girls were sat beside each other in the Gryffindor common room, they'd met up after their last lessons and that had been the first place they'd thought of to do their homework together. Several of the older students were throwing them filthy looks, but most were used to seeing the darker haired girl from last year and didn't comment.
"Ours is next week" Ginny replied, the little red head was already scathing about some of her homework, and though Quidditch was something she was determined to do, it was definitely coming second right now.
"Do you want some help?" She enquired, placing her own completed homework down and leaning towards her friend. It was sometimes hard to remember that even though they were the same age, Mia had already completed the work last year. Shaking her head and causing red wisps to cover her eyes, Ginny went back into a world of her own. Well, they weren't going to get much talking done then. Mumbling a goodbye, and receiving a vacant wave for a reply, the darker haired girl stood up and left the common room. It was pointless sitting there and being stared at.
Heading down the corridor Mia went into her own world. Everything seemed to be coming up so quickly. Her birthday, which always seemed to get forgotten about as it was so close to the start of term, Quidditch try outs, trips to Hogsmede, that she was now old enough to go on, and the start of all her other lessons. Letting out a long sigh, she attempted to think of how to fit all that in, though came up blank.
"Lestrange!" someone called out, and before she could object, said person or persons rather,, picked her up by the arms and carried backwards down an emptier corridor.
"Can I help you?" she said through a scowl at the two red heads. They both gave synchronised shrugs, before holding out a box to her. Her scowl changed to a frown as she took the box. Was it going to explode? Anything was possible from those two.
"Want to expand on what it is?" the redheads shrugged again, before Fred, or at least the one she thought was Fred started grinning. Not that that was any more comforting.
"It's an early birthday present,"
"Created by yours truly" George carried on. Could neither of them finish their own sentences?
"What is it?" The younger girl asked, giving the box a small shake.
"NO!" both twins yelled, one set of hands moving on top of hers to stop them. Well, she almost dropped it at that.
"Ok, ok don't shake, I get it" Mia said before raising an eyebrow, "Will the contents get me a lifetime of detentions if found by a teacher?" the boys shared a look that once again made Mia want to drop the box and run.
"Not a lifetime" Fred answered, before removing his hands from hers and the box, and both twins walked off.
"Wonderful" the darker haired muttered sarcastically, before giving up on the idea of dumping the 'present' and walked back to the Slytherin common room, trying to keep her arms as still as possible.
Luckily she managed to make it through the portrait and up the stairs without bumping into any teachers or anything else for that matter. The whole place seemed semi- deserted, abut nothing special was going on. Giving an inward shrug, not actually trusting herself to move her arms up and down however, she went into the bedroom and carefully placed the box down beside her bed.
Draco wasn't back yet, and if he saw the box without in there, no doubt it would get opened. She couldn't risk the damage that could cause. So, scowling at having to stay in the room, Mia picked up one of her text books and sat down, cross-legged on her bed, ready to pass the several hours until the blondes return.
A/N: Hmm, not the most amazing chapter I know. Sorry xD The next one will be better. Please review, they're lovely to read Z-Nugget xx
