| HARRY POTTER: AN ALTERNATE STORY e-mail: lime01_j@yahoo.com Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the characters of HP. I do this just for fun and I hope you enjoy it as well Chapter II: Jokes, fights and returns 6 A M PREFECTS ROOM Hermione woke up with her hair in every angle possible( imagine Hermione with a Goku style, all her hair up ~_^) . She yawned as she got up from her bed and went to the bathroom. This was the first day of school and wanted everything to be perfect, this year was special. She was finally a prefect and once again, she wanted to be the top student of her year. Once she had her shower and changed into her robes, she went to Harry’s dorm, probably he was asleep. She walked towards his room casually, but stopped her hand from knocking. She remembered how good he looked the other day, smiling and looking at her with his dazing green eyes. Maybe she could se him wearing nothing but his boxers... She shook her head to cool her face, since she was as red as the Weasley’s hair. She knocked but nobody answered. Hermione smiled, he could be such a sleepy head. She opened the door and walked inside, seeing her best friend still asleep. - <He looks cute with his hair that way, and without glasses, I wonder how could it be if I sleep next to him....>- she blushed at her thoughts<I can’t believe I just said that...bad thoughts, bad thoughts Hermione> She walked to the window and opened the curtains. Sunlight goes directly to Harry’s face and he growls turning to the other side. - ‘Mione let me sleep please- he said in a sleepy voice.- Hermione smiled at his friend using her nick name . - Harry, you have to get up, it’s our first day and as a prefect you have to give the example to younger students! – she said this while opening Harry’s trunk and taking out some clothes for him. - Now take a shower, I’ll be waiting in the common room Hermione left quickly as she saw Harry getting up his bed and she realized he had no shirt on. If she saw him like that, there was no way she could stop herself from drooling, and that was...not right. Harry smiled when she left, she looked cute that way. - <Gosh, we look like a married couple>- Harry blushed at his thought and decided it would be better if he took that shower. When Harry went to the common room, he found Ron and Hermione talking to Ginny. Then they went together to the Great Hall. GREAT HALL 7.30 AM Students and teachers arrived to have their breakfast, some of them excited because it was the first day of school and others, were thinking how terrible the homework was going to be this year. Especially Neville Longbottom, who had to face up to all that and, to make it worse, learn all the passwords to the Gryffindor Common Room. From the teachers table, Snape smiled. He knew the Gryffindor will have his class at the last hour, just when they think everything was perfect, he was there to remind them life is not easy. Oh how he was going to enjoy this... As always, Ron ate like a pig, Harry was a little uncomfortable by the stares of the younger girls at his table and everybody else was in their own business (Lavender and Parvati talking about make-up, boys talking about Quidditch, etc) Hermione smiled, this year couldn’t be as weird as the others, right? Oh how wrong she was... In the Slytherin table, Draco was having his breakfast decently while his two “friends” (Crabbe and Goyle) who ate like people who haven’t seen food for the past 2 days. Draco sighed and then Anya arrived and sit next to him. - Hi Draco - Hi – but he wasn’t looking at her, he looked over the Gryffindor table, to a specific trio to be exact. - What are you looking at? - Potter, weasel and the mudblood- his eyes were pure of hate - What’s wrong with them? – Anya asked cheerfully as if she didn’t know them. - Weasley is always trying to make me be in ridiculous, Granger is a smart bitch, who has the top grades at our year and Potter can’t resist be the center of attention. Every year they do the same shit. –he said with despise - Not this year, because I am here.- she said seductively and Draco looked at her in disgust, she could be such a bitch sometimes. - Look Draco, I promise you’ll have fun this time and the power as well, just trust me. - <Yeah, let’s believe the daughter of Voldemort...but...now that I think about it, with her on my side, I can make Potter’s life miserable> ok Anya, just help me with the stupid Gryffindor trio ever there and then you’ll have everything you want from me. ****************** Dumbledore looked from his table at Malfoy and the new girl. There was something about her that was...evil, he could feel it. But he can’t just kick her out of the school just for a hunch. Maybe destiny wanted this girl to be here for some reason. He just hoped the young Malfoy doesn’t follow her. ********************* Hermione smiled, Transfiguration and Herbology had gone well, now she had Arithmancy, her favorite course. She said good bye to the guys who took divination and headed to other classroom. Hermione just hoped Trelawney didn’t give Harry another death prediction. ****************** DIVINATION - Divination with Slytherins?! You got to be kidding me! - Cheer up Harry how bad can it be? As soon as they walked into the room, they were hot. (A/N: not in that way you perverts!!!) The curtains were closed, there was a fireplace near the teacher’s table, and a lot of lamps covered with red neckerchiefs, giving a soft red light. Harry thought he would do everything for an ice-cream but then Professor Trelawney entered to the room in her weird way (that means saying “It’s a pleasure seeing you in the physical world at last” which no one understood) Anya chuckled at the ridiculous clothes the professor was wearing. Trelawney had a long shawl of gauze with spangles on it. A lot of necklaces on her neck and a dozen bracelets on both wrists. She was extremely skinny and looked like a stick of a Quidditch broomstick. She was ridiculous for sure. Class has started well, with Professor Sybill Trelawney talking about the future and how to read it with the help of your inner eye...if you have developed yours that is. - This year, we’ll learn another way to predict our future, but I must warn you this ain’t easy, because if you fail reading one bit then your whole future is wrong- she said in a menacing tone, like warning the students from something terrible. Lavender and Parvati gasped, the rest looked bored. Anya was looking at Trelawney with a “ What the hell did she just said?” face. Draco was trying to find a way to do something embarrassing to Potter, or just something to keep him distracted from the old mummy with huge glasses who was talking. - What are we going to learn Professor Trelawney?- asked Parvati curiously. She was very excited (no one knew why)as well as Lavender - I’m glad you asked my dear. This term we are going to learn how to read...the hand. Some of the students laugh, other just chuckled (like Dean and Seamus) and Harry just looked confused. They were on their sixth year an the old bat they had for a teacher was going to teach them how to read hands just now. Apparently he wasn’t the only one with this thought. Neville raised his hand to ask what just Harry thought but Trelawney just said. - Oh no my dears, to read a hand takes a lot of skills. It’s a very exact science which requires the hard work of your inner eye - I think it just takes a lot of imagination- Ron whispered and Harry chuckled. He remembered all the times, since his third year, when he and Ron had the highest marks on Divination just because they always made up their own deaths on their prediction. The class went by and just when Trelawney was about to read Harry’s hand the bell rang. - Saved by the bell, mate - Thank God- then came the voice of the professor - Don’t forget your homework!! Work with your inner eye! Ron and Harry smiled, they knew what to do with their “inner eye”. **************************** HISTORY OF MAGIC (Gryffindor – Slytherin) The class was as boring as always. According to Ron it was the “sleeping hour”. Since last year, when Ron and Harry stayed late doing some homework, they would sleep in that class, and after that they were good as new. Hermione didn’t like this. After 30 extremely boring minutes of class, Anya got bored and took out her wand. - Incendio! – she whispered pointing her wand at Millicent Bulstrode . She knew she was from her own house, but if she was bored, nothing mattered. Millicent’s parchment set on fire, she screamed and pushed her parchment aside, burning Pansy’s parchment as well. Both of them screamed and stood up, but Millicent , being a little heavy pushed a guy named Malcolm Baddock and the rest of the guys just fall like pieces of domino. The Gryffindor laughed and Draco looked angrily at Anya, she just smiled sweetly and blew a kiss to him. - Don’t worry, your turn will come soon. The rest of the class was a chaos, with laughing Gryffindors and a hysterical Pansy. No one knew who did it. ***************** POTIONS - 5 points from Gryffindor for not knowing the answer Longbottom! The Gryffindors growled and Snape mentally smiled. It was the last class of the day and Snape wanted to give the Gryffindor the “special” treatment they deserved. It was double potions and once again, Anya was looking for action. - Hey Draco, watch this- Draco looked at her curiously as she took out the gum she was chewing and threw it at Lavender’s glorious hair. Draco and the rest of Slytherin started to laugh and they pointed at Lavender. She didn’t know what the hell was happening until she touched her hair. All those hours fixing her hair manually or with spell with special care...and now she had to cut it off. - I guess you’ll have a nice hair cut after that Ms. Brown- Snape said containing a laugh, Lavender run out of the class crying ( A/N: I know some of you’ll think this is a bit exaggerated but believe me, there ARE girls who give special treatment to her hair and they “suffer” if something bad happens to them) 10 minutes later, Anya put a beetle on Hermione’s hair. She screamed and Snape took another chance to take points from Gryffindor. The Gryffindor loathed Anya, all of them looked angrily at the new trouble girl, who was laughing with Malfoy, but she just turned and gave them a sweet smile. *********************** After the classes were over, Ron went to the Common Room with Dean and Seamus, while Hermione and Harry went to the first prefects meeting of the year. Once they arrived, the meeting started. It was basically McGonagall telling the prefects their duties during the school year. In other meetings they would discuss about curses and the “trouble students” (Hermione looked at Harry and he grinned, Draco frowned) After giving them the date of the next meeting, they all could go to their common rooms. - Hey Granger, would you like me to put gum in your hair too? I bet you’d look more ugly if you... - Shut up Malfoy! - Oh, why are you so angry Potty boy? Afraid I might do something to your muggle girlfriend?- he said in a mocking way and Harry took out his wand. - Come on Harry, he’s not worth it. Besides he can’t do anything without Anya, remember Malfoy doesn’t have a brain- said Hermione looking at Draco. Harry smiled and Draco blushed in embarrassment. Hermione and Harry walked quickly away from him and Hermione thought she heard something like “You’re going to pay stupid Gryffindors” but shook away that thought. What could Malfoy do anyway? ********************** GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM MIDNIGHT Few Gryffindor were still up finishing some homework. The “dynamic trio” was up as well. - What’s next Ron? - Divination. We have to read the hand palm (A/N did I spelled that word right? ^_^U) to 3 friends. - Well, that’s easy. I’ll read Dean’s hand since I think he’s doing the same homework, I’ll be right back. - Ok, Harry...hey Hermione, could you do me a favor - I’m almost finished Ron- said Hermione writing an essay for Transfiguration - ‘Mione, that essay is for Friday!- looking in amazement the two rolls of parchment Hermione had already wrote. - I know Ron, but I’ll be busy later - Doing what? - Studying and prefects stuff. - Oh please not another Percy, NOO!!!- said Ron in a very dramatic voice slapping his hand to his fore head and doing like he has just fainted. Hermione laughed at his behavior. - Ron, you’re such a child .Anyway, I’m finished so you can do your stuff with your “inner eye” but I don’t know why do you want to do it if in the end you make up everything. Ron smiled and took her hand in his and looked at it for a while. Hermione looked bored at her hand and yawned, then she turned to see what the other students were doing. She saw Lavender with short hair (a little present from Annya) talking to Parvati, Neville trying to finish his essay (he had written 4 lines) and then she saw Harry talking to Dean and laughing. She smiled at his friend and then a voice called her attention. - Um. I see...according to this book, your...future...no! I mean your past is blurry. - My past? What does that mean? I remember my past thank you very much- she said a little annoyed. - I don’t know, the book says so- said Ron lifting his Divination book “Discover your future” and Hermione looked at him in disbelief - And you believe all the...- Hermione looks up and sees the same girl she saw the day before at the sorting ceremony. She was wearing the same dress and her hairstyle was the same. But she look pale - Find me...something is coming...- she said softly - What?- she answered - Evil is coming, save all of them- she said again - How? - Hermione, are you listening to what I’m saying?! And you can put down your hand I finished a while ago! – Ron said annoyed. Hermione turned to him and look at her hand, which was still up. She put it down and turned to look at the place the girl was before, but she wasn’t there. - What happened Hermione? - I...I...<should I tell him?...but what if he doesn’t believe me?>- Hermione imagined Ron laughing at her for saying she saw someone, and now that she thought about it, no one would believe her she saw a little girl in a white dress IN the Gryffindor common room. And that she was the only one who could see it. - What is it Hermione?- Harry asked. He had finished reading Dean and Colin’s hand. - Nothing, I...I’m just tired that’s all. Good night! - G’night- replied both boys as their friend grabbed her books and left. - Do you know what’s up with her?- Harry asked and Ron just shrugged. ***************************** THREE MONTHS LATER Anya had become the bitch of Slytherin. She was the typical bad-ass, only in female version. In that period of time, she had been with all the Slytherin guys from her year (except Draco, Crabbe and Goyle) When she thought they were good, she used his bodies lots of times, but then she gets bored again and she blows them off rudely. She also had used half the 7th years of her own house. She just used them for pleasure, and when they thought they had won her heart, she finds a way to humiliate them in front of the whole school or she just steal their money when they are still asleep on her bed after the “events”. As for her jokes, she had a large list: Change all 6th years Hufflepuff girls hair color (to green, orange, white or purple, according to Anya, she wanted to recognize them easily). The girls had been humiliated as all the students laughed at their hair colors in the Great Hall. Hang Neville’s toad in one of the branches of the Whomping Willow. Grow Ron’s hair until it reached his waist (Gryffindor had bullied Ron about it for 2 weeks) Send a howler to Neville : in which she said he pees in his pants Put magic glue on Parvati’s new hat Put magic glue on Dumbledore’s seat (he didn’t fell for that one, but Snape did...you should’ve seen his face O_o he was ready to kill) Hang Filch by his ankles in a tower the same night Anya had detention with him. Nobody found him until next day and Anya said she did show up one time and wouldn’t be a fool to do it again so she missed detention. Lock Ms. Norris in the third floor with Fluffy (the only affected by this was Filch, the rest was throwing parties) Make all the books from the restricted section fall into Ginny when she was in the library. ( Ginny didn’t want to go to the library alone since then) Put a sign “Kick my ass” on Harry’s back and a “I’m gay” sign behind Neville’s back. Now Harry keeps looking at his back making sure no sign was on it and Neville was treated like a gay person. Insult Harry’s parents so much, Harry thought he was really going to punch her if Ron didn’t stop him. Scare all the first years = she visited them at night and put an image of a monster in front of them until they screamed. Now almost all the first years have insomnia. Pass a picture on which Colin Creevey was kissing Millicent Bulstrode. After Colin saw this, he fainted. In “History of magic”, using Wingardium Leviosa, Anya and Draco made things fly and go through Professor Binns (who is a ghost) several times. In the end, the whole class was laughing and they didn’t learn a thing that day, but they had to make a 3 roll parchment essay. Draco and Anya puts something on Harry’s cauldron and it explode, sending the potion for all the classroom. Harry had detention that night. Make Hermione burp bubbles from her mouth ( A/N: have you ever seen that chapter on “Charmed” when Piper burps bubbles, it’s so funny...ok, I’ll shut up now). Draco taunted her with that for 2 weeks. Anya did all this with Draco’s help and that was just the things that remained the most in the Gryffindors memory. During this time, Anya had taught Draco some spells of dark magic. But she didn’t want him to use them because she said “It was not the time”. Now, as the group Crabbe-Anya-Draco-Goyle walked in the corridors, everyone put aside, giving them space, if they didn’t Crabbe and Goyle would push them roughly so the two in the center (Anya and Draco) could pass freely. If Anya or Draco were in a bad mood, they just cursed whoever they saw, no matter who he or she was. With Snape’s help, Draco remained as a prefect and he could take as many points from Gryffindor as he pleased. As for Gryffindors, they thought they couldn’t stand anymore the Slytherins behavior. Hermione has been very stressed with her prefect duties and her studies. She had to do almost all Harry’s work because he was busy being the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and he had to train the team very hard if they wanted to win the cup this year. Generally, Hermione was in a bad mood because she barely slept and she was already worrying about the O.W.L.s Ron finally was on the team as a keeper and Ginny was the new beater When they threw a party for the new members of the Gryffindor team, Draco and Anya managed to put a potion in the pumpkin juice, so every body went wild and started destroying the Common Room. Hermione was really busy that day. ******************* LIBRARY - Hermione? Prefect Hermione Granger opened her eyes and saw the worried face of Ginny in front of her. Ginny was looking everywhere for any sign of Anya and her sick jokes when she spotted Hermione sleeping in one of the tables. - Oh, hi Ginny- she smiled weakly - You don’t look so well Hermione, you should rest - I can’t , I have a lot of things to do, plus Harry and Ron need to... - Stop worrying for them! I think they are big enough to take care for themselves and if they fail any exam is their fault not yours, don’t do this to yourself Hermione remained silent thinking about what Ginny had just told her. - I’ll try that, thanks Ginny- both girls smiled, but then Ginny’s face paled. Her eyes widened and she started shaking - Ginny, what’s wrong?- said Hermione, now fully awake and worried. - There’s someone here- she said softly but Hermione just looked confused – There’s something or someone evil here, I can feel it.- Hermione turned and she saw Anya walking with Draco, Anya looked at her and her eyes widened. Then Anya left the library with Draco and Ginny felt better. - Ginny, do you think...? - I’m sure Hermione. That Anya has dark magic on her body, I can feel it.- replied Ginny seriously. Hermione looked at the place Anya was before - We have to tell the guys, but I think they are doing some Divination homework right now <I can’t tell her they are in the owlery sending a letter to Sirius> but we can’t tell them after dinner - Ok Ginny left and Hermione thought about what Ginny had just said to her. Was that new girl really evil? Hermione wanted to not believe that because that meant danger for Harry, but them she knew Ginny was capable of sensing the presence of dark magic. She had that ability since her second year, when she was trapped in the chamber of secrets. Two hours later Hermione left the library. She had finished all her homework and was walking to the great hall to have dinner. When she was walking out of the library, she saw Anya and Draco tormenting some Hufflepuff and laugjing at them. Hermione wanted to go there and stopped them but she was so tired she thought she couldn’t do it. But her face was hot in anger. Fortunately, Flitwick arrived and the Slytherin went away. Hermione arrived to the great hall and spotted Ginny easily for her red hair and sited next to her waiting for Harry and Ron. 5 Minutes later, they arrived and they ate normally. Then, Hermione motioned the guys to go to the away from the rest, so they sat at the en of the table. - Is there something wrong Hermione?- asked Harry, he had seen her study non-stop since the morning and she looked a little pale and had little bags under her eyes. Harry thought Hermione was taking her job way too seriously but then he remembered it was his fault too, since she did his duties as a prefect as well. Hermione looked at the curious eyes of her friends, she looked at Ginny and she nodded, so she started. - You know Ginny has the ability of sensing dark magic when it’s near, right? Both guys nodded and this time Ginny continued - When I was in the library with Hermione I felt an evil presence, much like...um...you know like the one in...2nd year - Who did you feel it from? - Um...it was Anya- said Ginny - What??! - Bloody hell!! ***************** SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM - <Fuck! That Weasley girl almost discovers me, or maybe she did. Father warned me about this but I was so distracted I didn’t realize I was caught off guard, dammit!>- Anya Winter was pacing around the common room. - Hey Anya, care to have some fun?- said Draco from the door. Anya looked at Draco, the day before he had told her he was going to serve to the dark lord, so there wasn’t a problem. On of the chosen was going to be bad. She smiled. Maybe a little distraction will help her. - Without me there’s no fun, keep that in mind Malfoy- he smirked and Together, they walked out of the Slytherin common room to find some “victims”. ********************* - That means she must have some connection with Voldemort- Ron and Ginny shivered at hearing that name. Hermione was too tired to do it. - Harry, don’t say that name! - Sorry, Ron The quartet was walking on an empty corridor trying to figure out what had just happened to Ginny when they saw the two people most unexpected. Ginny stopped walking and then the rest as they stared at Anya’s cold eyes. - Well, well, what do we have here? You thought three wasn’t enough so you called another bitch. That way you could have a four orgy, am I right?- said Anya snickering. Malfoy laughed at the shocked face of Ginny and the angry expression of Ron. - What did you just called my sister, you slut?!- said Ron angrily, his whole face red as his hair. Ginny was red of embarrassment. - Oh poor guy, I offended your sister. Wait, isn’t she the read head who appeared on that movie “Circle sluts from hell”? Draco laughed hard, as well as Anya. Ron took out his wand, but Anya was quicker than him and muttered a spell. The four Gryffindor were sent flying until they hit a wall. Harry growled, they have just done it. Anya didn’t need to bother his friends, but he also noticed she was very powerful since she hit the four of them with a single spell. Harry didn’t want to make things worse and he needed an answer to what happened to Ginny later, So, he asked directly. - What is your connection with Voldemort?- Harry asked seriously, Annya and Draco stopped laughing almost immediately. - You sure you want to know?- replied Annya in a mischievous way, then she added- Do you remember Potter the day your parents died? I was told you were there...crying like a baby. You are so pathetic you make me sick Harry’s eyes widened when Annya mentioned his parent’s death. Ron and Hermione surprised as well, then they got very angry. Harry had confided in them one of his deepest secrets when they were on the train, and they knew how much affected Harry when someone talked about his parents. Annya smiled in satisfaction when she saw the surprised and angry faces from the Gryffindor. - Shut up! You have no right to talk about my parents!!- yelled Harry - Well, if you doubt of what I’m saying then I should help you remember that day! Ginny looked at Hermione’s face, she looked really scared. - <maybe she’s afraid of harry seeing his parent’s death> Hermione stood up and looked with anger at the Slytherin bastard called Annya, how dare she? <I must stop this, Harry’s not ready to know about his past, but then I...> - How could you know what a family is? I bet you never had one!!- Ron yelled Annya’s delicate features changed, her face hardened and her eyes were full of hate and evil. She turned from pretty to ugly as she turned to face Ron. He gulped and Annya used the same spell she did earlier on Ron and Ginny. Since Ginny was near Ron, it affected her as well. Draco looked at the scene before him amused, at least that was what his exterior showed, but deep inside, he felt different. He surprised when he look Annya’s face change and he looked at the Weasley brothers lying on the floor. Hermione took her chance to run to Harry and try to protect him from Annya. - Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you Potter!!- Harry’s eyes widened as he saw the dark blue light come out of Annya’s wand and come straight to him. Time seemed to stop as, A rush of thoughts came over him, “how was it?”, “was he ready to know the truth about his past?”, “will he be angry or depressed?” He closed his eyes waiting for the impact but felt someone push him out of the way. When he opened his eyes, he saw the delicate form of Hermione beside him. - Hermione? – she shook her gently and she opened her eyes, which seemed unfocused, but she still managed to say “I’m fine” to Harry. They stood up weakly and Draco didn’t like what he saw. He had waited since his first year to see Harry with fear, humiliate it, to hit him where it hurt the most. But that mudblood had to ruin everything! Besides, no one cared about him. Sure, he had good time with Annya, but she never seemed to care about him. No one did. And he was jealous because Potter had someone to care about him, even if she was a mudblood. But of course, he had his pride and he was never going to admit he said that. If he didn’t have what he wanted...then no one will. Draco took out his wand and pointed at Harry. - Harry, Hermione!!- yelled Ginny as she got up and run towards them. - Avecte statum!- yelled Draco and a powerful light left his wand. Hermione’s mind was in “Save Harry” state and she pushed him again and the spell struck her right in her chest. Time went slow, Hermione was sent backwards and, she rolled of the stairs, hitting her head pretty badly at the end. A small river of blood was coming out of her fore head. ********************* HERMIONE P.O.V. Harry doesn’t deserve this. He had saved our life so many times...no one deserves the pain the dark lord had caused him. But then, I’m his friend, I MUST do something I hear Ginny yell and look at Malfoy, who has taken his wand and he pointed it at us. I push Harry out of the way...I can still save myself if I move to the right...but then...I see the same little girl I saw three months ago. Her face is pale, she’s wet, like she had been on a rain. I see she has tears on her eyes and she still says “Find me”. I can’t move when she looks at me into my eyes, then I feel something hit mein my chest. It’s Malfoy’s spell hitting me. I feel myself going backwards and then rolling off the stairs, the last thing I see is the little girl’s face. Then all is black... ******************* Everybody remained silent (even Annya) until Hermione hit the bottom of the stairs. - Hermione!!- yelled Ginny as she and her brother run towards their friend, but Harry just stood there, looking at his best friends. Lying on the floor, she had saved him when Annya send a spell to him and then she did it again with Malfoy...and she fell of the stairs. That wouldn’t have happened if the spell had hit him, if he hadn’t told her and Ron about his feeling in the train. That way she couldn’t have worried so much. Realization of his unconscious friend struck him, anger filled his veins and he closed his fist so tight that you could see blood forming on his hands from the pressure of his nails on his palms. Slowly, he turned to Malfoy, he looked a little stunned at his actions, but that didn’t matter. He was going to pay. ******** DRACO’S P.O.V. Draco looked how his spell struck Granger and made her fall of the stairs. This situation sent some visions of the past he wanted to forget. ~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~ 7-year old Draco Malfoy had just said good bye to his sister and he was trying to get the death eaters attention so she could escape. Draco saw the death eaters approached. - Hey, over here you idiots!- he yelled at them waving his arms and running, the death eaters saw him and yelled: - Avecte statum! Draco was hit straight in the chest and he was sent flying to a tree. He fainted and blood appeared on his forehead. ~~~~~~~~END OF FLASH BACK~~~~ Of course, he had used the same spell they used on him when he was little. That spell had captured him and since then, he had lived a hell of a life. He hated the death eaters for that, for ruining his life, for making it so miserable...for making him losing his sister. His sister... Draco’s eyes widened in realization, how could he have forgotten her? Old feelings and some memories returned to Draco as his eyes still focused on the unconscious Hermione. Where are you Hope? He was in deep thought, but he could heard - YOU DAMN BASTARD!!- Harry Potter was running to him, he saw him drop his wand on the way as he push him to the ground. - WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER,YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!- Harry yelled in anger as he punched Draco on the jaw. Harry was so angry he just punched Draco without knowing where he was punching. Draco had been caught off guard, so he couldn’t protect himself much, besides, he was surprised at Potter. He had never seen him so angry in his whole life. They rolled on the ground, punching each other like mad. Blood was running from his faces as they continued the fight. ********** Annya looked at the scene, to be honest, she never thought she would go that far. She preferred other type of attacks, everything but physical.ok, maybe she enjoyed this, but to see blood sickened her a little. She looked at the two boys on the ground and then at the two red heads taking care of Granger. <That Weasley girl is a beater, she must have a good arm. She’ll destroy my beautiful face! I better go, Malfoy can do it on his own> Annya turned and left the place, Ginny looked at her muttering “coward”. Then she looked at the prefects fighting and turned to her brother. - Ron, as much as I like to see Malfoy’s ass being kicked, this fight between Slytherin and Gryffindor has gone too far. Ron looks at her confused and Ginny continues. - Hermione needs to go to the Hospital Wing, Harry will end pretty injured after the fight and I don’t like to see blood. Ginny said to her brother pleading. Ron looked at his best friend punch Malfoy one more time, but then they rolled again and this time, they were near the stairs. Ron got up quickly and walked to the fighting boys. It was enough to have one of his friends injured, he didn’t want two. Ron tried to separate Harry from Draco, but he was so angry he was stronger than him. - Ron! Do something!- said Ginny and Ron looked at his wand on the floor, he took it and looked at the boys. - Wingardium Leviosa!- the spell lifted both teenagers in mid-air as they were trying to continue the fight. Harry had a bruise on his cheek and blood was coming out of his nose. Draco had more bruises and blood was coming from his mouth. - WE ARE NOT FINISHED, I’M GOING TO MAKE YOU SORRY FOR WHAT YOU DID! - YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME POTTER, AH? BRING IT ON STUPID GRYFFINDOR!! They struggled once again to get free of the spell. They were moving so hard Ron had some problems to keep them apart and in the air. - <Come on Ron, focus, like you did on our first year, if you faced a troll, you can do this>- Ron thought deeply. He didn’t notice his sister walked between the two violent guys. - Could you STOP acting like this? Kicking each other’s ass is NOT going to help Hermione, Harry!!!- Ginny said looking straight at Harry’s eyes. At the mention of Hermione’s name, he quit moving and his muscles relaxed - Listen to me, Harry, Hermione is very weak, she needs to go to the Hospital Wing and killing yourself with a loser like Malfoy.. - HEY!- Malfoy said and Ron chuckled. - Won’t wake her up- said Ginny like she didn’t hear Malfoy’s complains. Harry thought of what Ginny had just told him. He looked over to Hermione...he can’t fail to her. - You’re right Ginny, we better take Hermione to Madam Pomfrey - Ron, release them- Ron nodded and put both boys on the ground, but Ron seemed to forget Malfoy. - You’re a co... - Inmobilius!- Ginny shouted and Malfoy stood like a statue- You guys go ahead, I’ll catch you later - You sure? - Ron I think I can take care of myself, besides, he’s frozen he can’t do anything to me Ron walked to Malfoy and made faces before him. Then he said quite a log list of nasty words (which Malfoy deserved) and laughed in his face. Draco’s pale face turned a little red from anger and Ron laughed again. In fact, he looked like he was going to do that game for a while. - RON!!! YOU go carry Hermione to the Hospital Wing because Harry’s injured - Oh, yeah, um sorry Gin- Now Ron was red in embarrassment Ron walked towards Hermione and saw Harry touching her face softly muttering “I’m sorry Hermione”. Ron smiled at the scene, but Hermione needed attention so he walked to them and carried Hermione. Harry turned and gave Malfoy a death glare, then he went with Ron and they left leaving Ginny alone with Malfoy Ginny then does something unexpected to Malfoy: she cures his injuries. His eyes widened, she was the first one to take care of him...no His sister was the first... Hope... Draco tried to focus on what was going on, but then, Ginny had finished and had release him. Now Draco could move and Ginny was ready to leave, but Draco needed to know what the hell has just happened - Why did you do it Weasley?- he asked in his usual cool voice. Ginny walks to him, you could see anger from her eyes and Draco surprised. What was up with Gryffindor today? - This doesn’t mean I like you. I did it because if you go to the hospital wing like that, madam Pomfrey will know immediately you got into a fight with Harry, and that would risk Harry’s position as a prefect and he doesn’t deserve that When Draco heard this, his face hardened and he look at her in annoyance - Oh, just what I needed, another crazy member of the Potter fan club - You’re just jealous you’re not like him. You’re a cold hearted, selfish bastard who could never care about anyone, you hurt people! What kind of wizard are you ? - The kind that doesn’t answer questions from a Weasley Ginny walks closer to him and looks at him in the eye. - And now you attack my family because you have nothing to say. You’re lonely, you have no friends. - Oh really? Then what are Annya, Crabbe...- started Malfoy but Ginny cut him. - They are not your friends and you know it. For god’s sake, Annya left you when you were fighting with Harry!! Besides, you just hurt pretty badly a prefect, the top student of your year, why? You think I didn’t see you but I saw the way you looked at her when she saved Harry and... - Wait, Are you saying I like the mudblood? You’ve got a fucking problem is you think that! - What I meant, is to say Harry always has someone to care about him. You don’t. Ginny’s face now is dangerously close to Malfoy. They just keep looking at each other until Malfoy muttered a “Damn you Weasley” and left. Ginny sighed with relief. When he was with her, there was a lot of tension in the air. Then, she turned and walked through the corridors where Harry and Ron had gone earlier. ****************************** HOSPITAL WING - What happened to this girl? Oh! And she’s a prefect!- said Madam Pomfrey as Ron put Hermione in one of the beds. - She...um, had an accident. Is she going to be alright?- asked Harry hopefully, that’s when Madam Pomfrey saw the face of Harry - My dear, you’re face. Here, take this potion, you’re lucky I was making it before you arrived- she said as she handed Harry a glass with a purple liquid on it. Harry quickly took it as Madam Pomfrey looked at Hermione. - She’ll be fine. I’ll bandage her head and she’ll have to spend the night here. But I need to get her out of this robes, so you two go. - Ok, we’ll return in the morning, to check her out, right harry? - I want to stay with her- Harry said and Ron looked shocked. - I’m sorry my dear, but don’t worry. She’ll be fine, she just needs some rest. I believe she has been very busy lately. - Yes, she has- whispered Harry softly. - Thanks, Madam Pomfrey- Ron and Harry left the Hospital Wing and went to the Gryffindor Common Room. On their way, Neville bumped with Ron and then he continued running, unaware of a note he let slip from his pocket... Harry was still blaming himself, Ron knew it by the look on his face, but he decided to not tell him anything. Is better to talk when things are better, and Hermione was going to be better by tomorrow morning. At least he hoped that. Ron looked at Ginny in the Gryffindor Common Room and sit next to her. Harry went directly to his room - Don’t blame yourself mate- Ron whispered before he went to his dorm as well to rest. Ginny wanted to calm down from what just happened and chatted with some of her friends. **** SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM Draco entered the common room, looked at Annya by the corner of his eye, who was flirting with another 7th year...the bitch. Draco went directly to his room and locked the door with a charm his father taught him when he was 6. Memories of the past he WANTED to forget were returning. Memories of his lost sister returned...and it was painful. He just wanted to forget everything and to not think about what the Weasley girl has said (he knew she was right but he didn’t want to admit that) and decided to sleep. He changed into his pajamas and before he turned off the lights, he saw a familiar velvet box in his trunk. It was under all of his stuff, but he still could see it. Draco walked to his trunk, and like a mad man, search on his trunk for the box. He took it and gently opened it. A silver chain was on it, with the shape of a star. Shaking, he took the chain from the box on his hands and looked at it. - All the Malfoy have this chains, that way we won’t be apart. Now he remembered that...those were his words to his sister... Where are you Hope?? *********** White Light surrounds the entire room. Then it fades. A girl with long wavy golden hair opens her cinnamon eyes. She sits in her bed and looks around her, she doesn’t recognize the place. It looks like an infirmary. Then, she looks at her clothes, and they were not her birthday dress. It was a white coat, but still looked like a dress. The teenage girl stands up and sees a mirror in front of her. There was the reflection of Hope Malfoy... ******************* AUTHOR’S NOTES: Yay!!!
