I woke up the next morning a little early. I got up and took a quick shower and grabbed my school bag. I needed to talk to Draco right away. As i made my way downstairs there were a couple of people up. They were whipering but when they noticed i was coming down the stairs they got silent. I just rolled my eyes and kept walking. I didn't have time for them right now. I made my way down to the great hall but i didnt see Draco anywhere. I went through the front doors of the castle and down the stairs. Maybe he'd be down by the lake i thought. I could only hope. There were quit a bit of people outside but as i got closer to the lake i could make out the back of Draco's perfectly brushed hair. He never went anywhere without brushing his hair. When i reached him i tapped his shoulder.

"i need to talk to you. now" i said when he turned around.

"is this about you not making Syltherin? because if it is. . "

"just come with me!" i said kinda irritated.

"fine" he replyed. he wasn't much of a morning person.

He followed me to the other side of the lake where no one was. i dropped my school bag but before i could say anything he began talking.

"look i know it may seem bad but not making Syltherin isn't that big of a deal and im sure mother will talk some sence into father. . " he rambled on.

"why didn't you tell me i was adopted?" i asked.

"come again?" he said confusion clear in his voice.

"you mean to tell me you didn't know either?" i asked just as confused as he was.

"what in merlins beard are you talking about?" he asked

I told him everything about what happened in Dumbledor's office. When i finished we just stood there in silence for a few minutes. He was clearly just as shocked as i was.

"there must be some kind of mistake" he finally said breaking the silence.

"i don't know. i wrote mother so we'll have to wait and see i guess. Draco what if it's true? what if i really am adopted? what if i really am a Potter?" i said in a small voice.

"it won't change anything" he said trying to comfort me.

"but Draco you know how father hates the Potters. what if he finds out im one of them? he'll hate me! or try and bring me before the dark lord." i replyed trying to keep the tears that had formed in my eyes from falling but failing. Draco pulled me into a hug.

"i would never let that happen. Even if you are adopted your still my little sister and i'll never let anything happen to you" he said

"so you wouldn't hate me if i really am related to Harry?" i asked

"no. no matter what anyone saids or who your related to you'll always be my sister. but if you tell anyone i said that i'll denie everything." he said with a raised eyebrow. i couldn't help but laugh. he hated showing others how he felt but he always knew how to make me feel better.

"thanks Draco. i'm going to eat some breakfast before class. i'll see you around?" i said picking up my bag

"sure will" he said walking back to the other side of the lake where his friends were.

"oh and Draco?" i called after him

"hmm?"

"don't tell anyone yet. i want to see what mother has to say first ok?"

"whatever. my lips are sealed." he replyed and started back towards his friends.

As i made my way back up to the castle i couldn't help but think of how my mother was reacting. im sure she would have gotten my letter by now. I pushed the thoughts out of my head for now. I made my way into the great hall and saw that almost everyone was up and eatting breakfast now. Mcgonagall stopped me before i made it to the table and gave me my time table. double potions with Sylterin was first. I made my way to the table to sit down and noticed everyone at the Gryffindor glaring at me.

"oh come off it already" i mumbled before taking my seat at the middle of the table. no one was sitting beside me but i prefered it that way. i grabbed a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast and some pumpkin juice and started to eat in silence. i was halfway through my plate when mail came. i waited to see the family owl but it never showed. i sighed and went back to my breakfast. by the time i was finished i had five minutes left to get to class. but i relised i didnt know where the potions class was. i saw a redheaded girl from my year start to get up and leave.

"wait!" i yelled after her. she stopped and looked at me. along with everyone else at the table. "would you mind showing me to the classroom? i haven't a clue where it's at"

"DON'T DO IT GINNY SHE'S A MALFOY!" i heard from the table. i looked and saw Ron half standing half sitting from his seat.

"oh shut it Ron" the redhead named Ginny said rolling her eyes before returning he attion to me. "i guess it wouldn't hurt. come on or we'll be late" she said

"thank you" i said as we made our way out of the great hall.

"no problem. im Ginny by the way. Ginny Weasley which im sure you know by now" she said pointing towards the great hall. i chuckled a little.

"im Haleigh. Haleigh Malfoy which im very sure you know by now."

"yea your kind of the talk in the Gryffindor tower now" she replyed rolling her eyes.

"yea i could tell" i said with a sigh.

"here we are! just in time to. you don't want to be late for Snapes class" she whispered the last part as if scared someone will hear her. "come on you can sit by me if you'd like!" she said smiling.

"thanks" i replyed and took my seat next to hers. just as i sat down Professor Snape came in. He started taking roll call. i sat there waiting for him to cal my name. it took a good while before he did but finally he called my name.

"Haleigh Rose Malfoy" he finally said. but when he read my name out loud he nearly droped the list. he went pale and just stood there like he'd seen a ghost.

"uh here sir" i replyed. he finally looked up to where i was sitting and stared at me for a few seconds before returning back to the list.

"what was that about?" Ginny whispered

"i have no clue" i answered

The reat of the the class we learned about some poison antidotes. It was a bit awkword because every now and then i'd look up and see Snape staring at me. He'd see me look up and look away quickly. When class was almost over he gave us a five page essay to do for homework. The rest of my classes weren't any better. Each Professor gave us a ton of homework to do. I didn't get to see Draco at all today. He wasn't at lunch or anything. I spent my lunch hour eating alone. Ginny said she had to skip because she had something important to do. The next few weeks flew by pretty fast. Me and Ginny were getting to be quit close. which Ron didn't like at all. even Neville started hanging out with us. the Rest of the Gryffindors were starting to warm up to me as well. i saw Draco a few times but not much. he had to study alot because it was his owl year. mother still hadn't replyed to my letter. i couldn't help but wonder if may she was avoiding me.

I made my way up to the common room to drop off my school books before dinner one night. i wasn't paying attion when i bumped into someone. i looked up and saw Neville Longbottom.

"im sorry!" i said

"oh it's quit alright it was my fault. i wasn't watching where i was going" he said blushing and holding his hand out to help me up.

"to be quit honest neither was i" i said laughing a little while taking his hand.

"well atleast if i had to bump into someone im glad it was you" he said blushing even more.

"oh well thank you" i said blushing as well.

"i was just headed down to dinner. would yould maybe like to walk with me? he asked

"yea sure! i just have to drop off my books in the common room first" i told him

"oh ok i'll wait here" he said smiling

I just nodded and hurried towards the Gryffindor tower. before i got to the portrait of the fat lady however i heard someone call my name.

"oh miss Malfoy! thank goodness i caught you!" i turned around to see Professor Mcgonagall rushing towards me.

"oh hi Professor Mcgonagall"

"Miss Malfoy Professor would like to see you in his office right away"

"oh um ok but do you mind if i go tell Neville before i go? i was supost to walk down to dinner with him"

"i'll inform Mr longbottom you. go to Professor Dumbledors office right away" she told me before hurrying off

I quickly dropped off my books and made my way to the headmasters office. I said the password and went up the staircaseto the door and knocked.

"come in" i heard Dumbledore say.

I walked in and was shocked to see none other then my mother standing on the other side of the room.

"mother! what on earth are you doing here? wheres father? and why haven't you wrote me back?" i asked as i closed the door behind me.

"it seems i have some explaining to do as for your father hes away on buisness. he hadn't a clue im here" she said not looking me in the eye. she had bags under her eyes like she hadn't slept in days maybe even weeks. i just kept quiet and waited for her to continue. "i'v been trying to find a easy way to tell you this but theres not. me and your fathers been putting this off for some time now." she sighed "im afraid the sorting hat is correct. we adopted you when we found out i couldn't bare anymore children. you were only three months old when we got you."

"so it's true? i really am a Potter? why didn't you tell me!"

"what on earth are you talking about?" she asked me confused.

"the sorting hat said i wasn't a Malfoy by birth but a Potter. You mean to tell me you didn't know who my real parent were?" i asked

"heavens no! the angency said that whoever brought you there didn't leave any information except your name on a piece of parchment! they hadn't a clue who your parents were. they found you on their doorsteps. are you sure it said Potter?" she asked

"quit sure mother."

"well how do we find out for sure?" she asked Dumbledore

"Well we could get a blood test done by Madam Pomfrey. it might take a few days to complete." he answered

"would that be something you'd want dear?" mother asked me

"i think so." i answered

a few minutes later Madam Pomfrey was there and taking a small bit of my blood. she explained that she only needed my blood and she'd trace it through some of my ancestors.

"alrighty dear we'll know in a few days time" she told me before leaving.

"im afraid i have to get going dear i have things to do" mother said reaching out her arms to me for a hug.

"bye mother" i said before leaving the room without hugging her. i couldn't help but be mad at her right now. maybe soon i'll forgive her. i just needed some time.
