Chapter One

I sighed and fell on to my bed. Another long day having to deal with my sister. I loathed her, she loathed me. So seriously I don't give a darn about her. Or do I? I seem to loath everything, I loath school, I loath my sister, I loath my parents, I loath my enemies, I loath famous people, I loath them hate them.. There was a sudden knock on my door that brought me to reality." Who is it?" I said angrily.
" It's me Sidney." Sidney Arnie said, The only person I don't seem to hate. I don't even understand how she stands me.
" Come on in, and sorry for speaking angrily I had another fight with Carla." I sighed lying back down in my bed.
" It's alright, that's why were best friends right, to make each other feel better." Sidney said sitting down next to me." Your room needs a totally new make over, wanna go shopping?" She then asked. Darn I am so lucky to have a friend like Sidney.
" Wow.. Totally. Anything to get away from-" But before I could finish my sentence someone else knocked." Who the heck could that be?" I asked Sidney is surprise." Yea, come on in." I said sitting up.
" Hey Tess." Orion said smirking at me in his annoying way.
" What the! What in the world are you doing here?" I asked shocked. Orion and I have hated each other since we first went to school. The slimy prat.
" I came here to see you, duh. I mean seriously who else would I come to see." Orion laughed.
" You know.. I am so close to hexing you and your pureblood face in to next week. Leave me alone already! It's bad enough having to do class's with you." Groaning I fell back on to my bed.
" Hey watch it, I don't even want to be here. But I heard some sort of rumor that that I'm head boy." Orion said glaring at me as if it was my fault.
" WHAT!" I shrieked. No possible way! Orion Malfoy. Head Boy of Hogwarts.. And me.. I am a stinking Head Girl.
" The headmistress sent me to get you. Not that I would want to, oh and bring your little friend along." He said rolling his eyes at me and leaving.
" You okay Tessa?" Sidney asked me, she fortunately understood the seriousness of this.
" I will be after I kick him.." I said starting to stand up, but before I could follow Orion to kill him someone else interrupted.
" TESSA GRATH GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Mother was calling me. So I trudged downstairs before making all my clothes fold themselves and go in to my bag.
" Yea mom?" I asked once I got down there.
" Are you packed and ready to go yet?" She looked irritated, probably Malfoy was being his normal self and rude.
" Almost, hey Sidney want to grab some ice cream before we leave?" I asked her, she nodded and headed in to the kitchen.
" Crap! I left my bag upstairs. Let me go get it real quick." I shouted to her running up the stairs, as I entered my empty room to get my bag, I noticed it was not so empty. There was someone else in it...

No comments yet :( Oh well I'll post Chapter Two anyways

Chapter Two

I paused.” Sorry if I surprised you, I've heard a lot about you from your school. I wanted to meet you and talk to you, after all you are the new head girl.” He said. For some reason I thought he looked vaguely familiar.
“ Er, do I know you?” I couldn't help but ask.
“ I'm going to be your new DADA teacher, I heard you where the top of your class, school actually in that class.” He seemed, disappointed? Not sure what but those green eye's kinda freaked me out.” Oh yea, I'm Harry Potter.” He finally added. There. That made me freak out totally. The Harry Potter, teaching me! No way! I've finally gone mental. My jaw dropped in utter surprise.“ I was wondering if you would like to help me teach.” Harry Potter said. Or was it Professor Potter now? I laughed silently to myself.
“ That. That would be an honour sir. Now, um, the headmistress wanted me so I got to get my bag and go.” I felt stupid adding the last part.
“ Oh yea, sorry. Good luck!” Potter smiled at me one more time before disappearing. I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs.
“ Woah! Hey Tess what took you so long?” Sidney asked me, it looked as if she was about to head upstairs and get me herself.
“ I'll tell you later when Malfoy isn't around.” I muttered to her before speaking out loud.” So how in the world are we going to be getting to Hogwarts?”
Orion gave me a look of.. Who knows what..” Portkey stupid.” He rolled his eyes as he said it. Darn I hate him. I'd rather spend all day locked up with Carla then endure another second of him. After waiting a few moments one of the books on the table started to glow bright blue Sidney, Tessa and Orion all put a finger on it. I glaring at Orion as I did so. Then we disappeared and then reappeared at Hogwarts in the great hall facing the Headmistress.
“ I'm glad you all got here safely, there wasn't any trouble I take it?” Professor McGonagall asked.
“ No trouble at all Headmistress, you wanted Malfoy and I?” I said trying my best to have a normal voice.
“ It's Orion, you must be on a first name basis and be polite to each other. We can not have our top prefects hating each other. And I did want you, as some of you may have heard Professor Dilly retired after nineteen years of work, I would like to introduce you to the new DADA teacher. Professor Harry Potter.” McGonagall said smiling at them and pointing to the young man that just entered the great hall.” Also, Madam Hooch is retiring and we will be welcoming Professor Potter's wife who will fill her place. You two will be in charge of decorations for the parties, balls, holidays and such. Also I would pleased to announce to you both that the Tri-Wizard tournament will be taking place this year, the rules have changed this year though, Sixth years and up will be allowed to join, the prize will stay the same. Also Hogwarts will be hosting the tournament like it did twenty-two years ago.” McGonagall continued on, though she did pause at Orion's, Sidney's and mine faces when she mentioned that the Tri-Wizard tournament would take place.” Also. If anything happens to Tessa Sidney will take her place as the head girl, Mr Potter will you show these three to Head Prefects common room please? I have business to take care of.” McGonagall finished before exiting the great hall.
“ THE TRI-WIZARD TOURNAMENT! This would be the best of day of my life. If it wasn't for Malfoy ruining it.” Sidney squealed happily.
“ Malfoy? Wait. That's Orion Malfoy?” Harry asked surprised,
“ Yea... And Sid, I thought that the Headmistress said that we had to use first names.” Orion said with the famous Malfoy smirk. Sidney and me rolled our eyes. Then we continued on towards there new rooms...

No comments?

And I am still working on Chapter Three. But it is not going up till I get 1 comment

Delete please

Ooooh! Yay thank you! Now I have to go find Chapter 3 lol...
I always thought that Harry would be DADA teacher :D

Chapter Three

I had a refreshing nights sleep and was fully awake at 6:14. I decided I wanted to take a walk hoping no one was awake at this time in the morning, also I didn't have to worry about homework, after a few minutes of walking aimlessly in the Hogwarts grounds I noticed I was being followed.
“ Hey Grath.” I spun around pulling my wand out.” Where's Sidney?” James Potter asked me, I almost forgot he and Sidney where dating.
“ Sleeping.” I answered, my wand still pointing at him.
“ Okay, um. Why are you still pointing your wand at me, it's not like I'm a dark wizard or something like that.” James stated.
“ Because I don't trust you.” I snapped at him, he was saved a response by his mother approaching.
“ What's going on here?” She asked us.
“ Nothing mum, I was wondering why Grath, Malfoy and Sidney where here already.” James said in his falsely innocent way. I personally find it annoying.
“ I'm head girl, Ma-Orion is head boy and Sid is also a head girl.” I responded knowing he didn't ask me.
“ Malfoy! Head boy, and you head girl! Mum can I PLEASE transfer to Durmstrang?” James exploded. I was so proud of myself, and happy till the man who ruins every single happy moment showed up.
“ Hello Tessa.” Orion said grinning at me.
“ Bug off Orion.” I glared at him, forgetting that James and his mum where there.
“ Your certainly pleasant today.” He was still grinning, or smirking. I don't care which. I then decided to walk off ignoring him. I find it kinda funny that the two people I hate most at school. Orion and James, hate each other also, it doesn't make it any better that I am going to have to stand there presence a lot this year.
“ Hey Tessa, that was like the second time you almost walked in to the wall.” Sidney said tapping me on the shoulder and taking me out of my day dreaming.
“ Oh, thanks Sid. James is looking for you.” I answered smiling.
“ He is? What's he doing here. Oh never mind.” Sidney can be a little oblivious sometimes. I then walked off and sat in the Library reading about the Tri-Wizard tournament...


I will put some stuff about the characters in it so you know a little more about them..

Chapter Four

Tessa awoke with a start, she had fallen asleep in the library and it was already rather late. Picking up her few books she exited the library yawning. As Tessa was heading towards her room she heard talking in a near by classroom.
“ However that may seem-” Someone was saying, Tessa wasn't sure who.
“ I am not going to listen to this slander about another teacher Micheal.” Lilly Snape the potions teacher said her tone angry.
“ Lilly. You need to understand, he is not who you think he is. Potter is only here to destroy Hogwarts!” The man named Micheal started again.
“ Harry Potter is not here to destroy Hogwarts, Micheal this is slander. I know Potters children, I have heard a great deal about him from the Headmistress. I even know that he killed the greatest dark wizard of all time, if any one has proven that they are good and have good intentions for this school it is Harry Potter.” Lilly nearly yelled as she slammed something, then stormed out of the room only to see Tessa standing outside of it.
“ What are you doing up at this hour Grath?” She asked trying to keep her tone calm.
“ I was on my way back from the library, I fell asleep there when I was reading.” Tessa answered sounding a little confused.
“ Very well then, be on your way.”
Tessa resolved to tell Sidney about this in the morning as she walked off still confused.
****
“ So, this person.. Michael is accusing Professor Potter for trying to bring down Hogwarts? That just doesn't sound right.” Sidney said for the umpteenth time. Tessa tried her best not to roll her eyes.
“ I know it doesn't sound right.” Tessa agreed as she began pacing in front of the painting of the wizard teaching trolls how to dance on the 7th floor.
“ TESS!” Sidney nearly shrieked as Tessa began her 4th time around.
“ Wha-” Tessa started but noticed the door.” What is that?”
“ I'm not sure... Think we should ask a.. That's a stupid idea, I'm a Ravenclaw for goodness sake! I'm supposed to be smart!” Sidney almost shrieked again.
“ Well a Slytherin says not to tell a teacher and to enter it.” Tessa said in a rather matter of fact way.
“ I thought it was a Gryffindors job to be brave and enter it.” Orion Malfoy had arrived,
“ What the- GO AWAY!” Tessa screamed. Orion just laughed and Sidney did her best not to.
“ I will, eventually. But first, do you want to know what this room is?” Orion stated.
“ I.. What? You know what this room is?” Sidney and Tessa sputtered.
“ Yes, I know what this room is. It is the Room of Requirement.” Orion said smiling.
“ How am I even supposed to trust you, because next your going to say it's perfectly safe and that I should go in. But I will probably will be attacked by some sort of magical beast.” Tessa glared at Orion,
“ Um... It is safe, but not perfectly. And there is no magical beast that is going to attack you. There is no magical beast what so ever.” Orion tried his best not to laugh. Tessa continued glaring at him then opened the door in the room of requirement...

I hope it's not that short

Edit. If you want me to PM when a new chapter comes out just let me know

Lilly Snape is Sevs kid, but I haven't quiet decided who her mum is.. :shifty:

Glad you liked it, I'll start on Chapter 5 (bad me for not already doing so)

Chapter Five

Tessa was shocked at what she saw, the room she entered was full off things that she only read about. Dark Magic artifacts.
“ TESSA! What in the world where you thinking when...” Orion was obviously shocked also, he had his wand drawn.
“ I only wanted to know what Michael.. Er... Not sure.” Tessa mumbled.
“ Wow... Now we know for sure that Michael is not a guy we can trust.” Sidney said.
“ Who is the infamous Michael... Tessa's boyfriend?” Orion asked in his normal sneering Malfoy way. Tessa glared at him.
“ No you idiot. Michael is someone that thinks Professor Potter is trying to bring down Hogwarts.” Tessa answered him.
“ Let's go.. I don't like this place.” Sidney cut across Orion's retort, she grabbed both Tessa's and Orion's arms and almost dragged them out of there, only to stumble upon a tall man with a long black cloak and hood. Sidney couldn't help but gasp for no reason.
“ Orion. May I ask why you are in the company of a mudblood and a blood-traitor?” Lucius Malfoy's voice was commanding and haughty.
“ There.. The head girls grandfather. What are you doing here?” Orion couldn't help but ask, he never enjoyed Lucius being within a ten mile radius of him, something he and his father had in common.
“ Back in my time such pieces of filth where never granted such a honour. And that still does not give you a excuse for being with them.” Lucius gloated. Orion hated him more and more as the seconds went by.
“ It's not up to you who I spend my time with. There not even my friends.” Orion snapped them stormed off angrily, Tessa and Sidney where doing there best not to laugh. They quickly ran off to, but in a different direction then Orion. This was certainly something they would never let him live down.
“ I never knew that Malfoy's where that bad.. But then again I only knew Orion.” Sidney said gasping for air, she and Tessa had burst in to laughter as soon as they passed Lucius.
“ Trust me, if there worse then Orion there a nightmare.” Tessa responded also gasping for air.
“ Hey.. I wonder if Lexis is here, you know she just might, she enjoys helping her father with the Herbology things. A skill she probably inherited from him.” Sidney said after a few minutes.
“ Okay.. As long as we don't bump in to James and I have to stand there for hours well you two argue.” Tessa smiled,
“ We don not fight for hours! We... Gah, stop teasing me Tess! Or else I'll start calling you Tessie.” Sidney groaned chasing Tessa through the castle as they proceeded downstairs to the Entrance Hall.
“ YOU WOULDN'T!” Tessa laughed, Tessie was a name that Orion used for her when he was really mad or annoyed. After a few minutes of chasing each other they arrived at the Green houses, sure enough Alexandra Longbottom was with her father.
“ Hey Lexis!” Sidney said cheerily.
“ SIDNEY! TESSA! Wow! What are you two doing here?” Alexandra practically threw herself on the two of them.
“ Sid and I are head girls!” Tessa said giggling, which she hardly ever did.
“ AWESOME! Hey dad, I'm going to go take a walk with Sid and Tess, then I'll head home.” Alexandra called over her shoulder to her father. Who nodded told her to take care and continued dealing with Mandrakes.
“ So how is miss top of the school in Herbology doing?” Sidney teased. Tessa and Alexandra laughed...

Thank you! I don't think I will be able to post for a few days (Christmas and all that) But I wish you all a very Happy Christmas!!! Enjoy yourselves! Eat sweets! Open presents! Have fun! Again, Happy Christmas!

JEN X

Of course you can call me that!
I need to go get Chapters 6 & 7 typed on to the computer so you can read them!

It is here! And Chapter Seven should be put up soonish.. Starting to work on Chapter Eight already.

Chapter Six

I finished packing with a groan, I was heading home today. Fortunately my parents where in Germany so it would just be Carla and I. And she would be studying. I then let out a sigh. Sidney would be going back to the Longbottom Estates with her foster father and sister, Orion was.. I didn't care where Orion was going. He was probably going back to the pompous Malfoy Manor.
“ Tessie! Your going to miss our portkey back!” Orion called up annoyed, I grabbed my bags and literally almost flew down the stairs.
“ One, don't call me Tessie.. EVER! Two, our portkey?” I demanded
“ I can call you whatever I want. And the Headmistress is under the impression that if we spend more time together we will stop being crude to each other, but since my father would never let a mudblood stay at his house. So I have no choice but to go to your house.. You think I want to?” Orion certainly did sound like he wanted to kill McGonagall.
No wonder he's angry! I thought to myself.
“ Don't call me a mudblood you prat, and if you don't stop calling me Tessie I will start calling you Orie, again.” I snapped, before he could retort our portkey glowed bright blue and we hardly had any time to put our fingers on it. Soon enough we landed in my living room. There was a sweet melody coming from the piano in the room next this one. I knew exactly what to do and I knew I would enjoy doing it.
“ Your room is next to mine on the left when you arrive upstairs, my sister Carla is the only other person in the house other then us two. My parents are in Germany, they left two days ago and won't be back till after we leave so you don't have to worry about that. Breakfast is at 8am sharp, Carla cooks all the meals so don't get her angry. She once poisoned my food, you being a pureblood won't stop her from poisoning yours.” I enjoyed bossing Orion around already. He rolled his eyes at me then walked out.
“ Who where you talking to T?” Carla asked walking in, the piano music had stopped only a few seconds ago.
“ Someone from school, there staying here for the rest of the summer I believe.” I answered not really wanting to be bothered with her. I wonder if she would ever stop calling me 'T' it is such a annoying nick name, but it is far better then Tessie.
“ Is it Sid-” Carla's question was answered and cut off by Orion re entering the room.
“ I thought you hated him more then anything and vowed to make him suffer a very painful death along with some other stuff.. At least that is what you said when you came back from school last year.” Carla stated, this is not what I wanted brought up right now.. Not in front of Orion.
“ A painful death and other stuff?” Orion repeated, he sounded amused. I slapped him.
“ The Headmistress thinks that him staying here will make us friends, I happen to disagree.” I muttered the last part to myself, but Orion and Carla both heard. Carla laughed then left a humored Orion and a exhausted me in a room. Not the wisest decision she has ever made.

Here is more! I know it's short, so I will try and make chapter eight long..

Chapter Seven

Carla woke up from her nap. Wondering why the yelling downstairs had not woken her up before she pulled out her wand and trudged down there to find out what exactly was going on.
“ Your a incompetent fool Malfoy, and just like your grandfather!” Tessa screamed not noticing Carla who had just slipped in to the room, rather amused at the seen.
“ I am not like my grandfather, and don't speak like that to me mudblood.” Orion retorted hotly, Carla almost pulled her wand out and attacked Orion for the last word that he said but decided to just watch.
“ You just proved it by calling me a mudblood, again.” Tessa was not calming down and was now yelling. She didn't mind being called a mudblood but if it was coming from Orion it was a whole different thing.
“ If you say or imply I am anything like Lucius Malfoy again I will curse you.” Orion was managing to keep control of his tone better then Tessa.
“ I thought it was a honor to be just like a power loving death-” Tessa was cut off by a hex sent at her. Which she was about to retaliate to but was interrupted by Carla finally speaking up.
“ Calm down the both of you. I'm surprised Tessa you hate him more then you hate me!Also, your both acting immature, irresponsible and childish. I don't care if they all mean the same thing that's how your acting.” Carla was suppressing a laugh as she spoke. Orion and Tessa both looked livid by being told off by a 14 year old.
“ Now apologize to each other at once or else.” Carla finished the look on the older two's faces was about to make her laugh.
“ And why should I listen to you or apologize to him?” Tessa demanded angrily.
“ Because I am the top of my year in Hogwarts, the librarian Madam Weasley gives me private tutoring, and she happens to be the smartest witch in that Hogwarts has ever seen, I will poison your food again, and I will hex you both in to next year if you don't. So apologize NOW!” Carla threatened with a huge grin.
“ I still don't understand how you didn't end up in Slytherin.” Orion muttered then apologized to Tessa with a simple sorry. Tessa glared at her sister who was laughing hysterically by now apologized then stormed out of the room.

Hope this is good!

Chapter Eight

Looking around to make sure he was not being followed is what Turner spent most of his time on his way to his destination. He quickly entered a room shut the door and turned around.
“ It is about time you got here Mr Turner.” The only other occupant of the room turned around to face the man who had just entered.
“ Yea, sorry Miss Davies, I'll try not to be late again.” Michael Turner sighed.
“ This is not a thing to be taken lightly Turner. Plus, you have displeased me.” Melanie Davies did not look up from the papers she was sorting out.
“ I know it's... Displeased you, how?” Turner asked surprised, as far as he knew he was not followed, no one even knew where he was going. He did not exist, that was his job.
“ My sister in-law knows about you. How?” Melanie finally did look up, and she when she did she had angry fire in her eyes.
“ She.. How do you know that?” Turner persisted trying to avoid the question, and it felt as if a icy hand had just grabbed his neck. Getting Melanie Davies mad was the last thing Michael ever wanted to do.
“ Cho brought you up in a normal conversation only a hour ago, and you where supposed to be talking to Lily Snape and planting the false information with her to make Potter's downfall begin. You where supposed to not be seen by anyone else.. ANYONE!” Melanie stood up, her hands shaking in anger. Michael debated running but knew that was a sign of a coward, which he was not.” Now, I wiped her memory of you quickly, I fixed your mistake. But never, ever again will I do this. He will not be pleased to hear if you did.” Melanie sat back down in her sit.
As Turner left he couldn't help thinking about what there master would do if he heard about the mistake.

*** Tessa's PoV

I sighed as I headed downstairs. I was having nightmares again. Wishing them away never seemed to work. I laughed mentally to myself. That was a childish thought, I noticed someone in on the couch when I arrived at the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't help but shriek.

***Orion's PoV

I think that I am going to kill McGonagall when I get back to Hogwarts. I sat down and opened up my book to read. After a few minutes of reading I heard someone come downstairs. Looking up briefly I noticed it was just Tessa. Then after a second or so there was a sudden shriek and I dropped my book.
“ What the!” I looked up in surprise. Tessa was glaring at me,” what?” I asked wondering what exactly I did, I mean last time I checked reading wasn't a crime.
“ What may I ask are you doing down here?” Tessa was taking deep breaths to remain calm.
“ Reading.” I answered innocently. It had just hit me why she shrieked.
“ That look may have worked when you where three.” Tessa retorted, glaring at me again before walking in to the kitchen.

I was silently congratulation myself on making Tessa shriek like a girl, and I didn't even try. Then I continued reading.
“ What are you reading?” Asked Tessa, she almost made me jump.
“ Quidditch through the ages.” I responded doing my best not to look up, she was probably glaring at me still.” And by the way, what are you doing down here?” The last part I added with out thinking.
“ I had nightmares that you where still here, then I remembered that you really are.” Tessa laughed sitting down on the couch next to me. I rolled my eyes then continued reading.
“ I thought you knew enough about Quidditch, why are you reading the book?” She then asked me. I tried my best not to roll my eyes again, I think I may have succeeded.
“ Because I feel like it, now are you asking me questions because you want to know why I am really down here, or because you want to find a way to get me in trouble?” I asked her. Then we both burst in to laughter.

“ You should know better then to ask that.” Tessa mock scolded after she could speak again.
“ Maybe.”
“ You do.”
“ I doubt it.”
“ So admit to not being smart?”
“ I am smart! I'm just not really interested on what you think.”
“ Or maybe you... Never mind.” We both ended up in laughter at that.” Oh crap! It's already 4:07, I should head back upstairs. Don't cause any trouble Orion.” Tessa said jumping up.
“ Me, trouble! Never!” I couldn't help but respond. Tessa slapped me then headed back upstairs. Girls are confusing...

Here it is


Chapter Nine

The door was closed and locked, I had no way out. And across from me was Timothy he was yelling something which I didn't understand, he was pushing me towards the window. There was noise outside the door, I wanted to get away. Grabbing my eleven year old sister's arm I approached the window.
“ We can't leave you Tim!” I turned around realizing what he was doing, he ignored me. Pushing me out the window on to the ground. He quickly passed me Carla who was sobbing still. Before I could make him follow us there was another shout. The door burst open and two men entered, one of them pulled out a wand and yelled.
“ AVADA KEDAVRA!”

I awoke suddenly forgetting where I was. Looking around quickly I realized I was still in my room. I quickly brushed the tears off my face before I headed to go wake up Carla.
“ GAH! It's only 6:58 T! Let me sleep!” Carla shouted at me, this was my least favorite job.
“ I don't care Carla, wake up it's time to walk the dog before breakfast, which you happened to be making, as usual.” I groaned.” I'm gonna go take a shower so be ready by the time I'm done.”
“ WHAT! You take showers in like 2 minutes! Your absolutely terrible and cruel,” was Carla's reply. I laughed before leaving.

My dream popped in to my head as I arrived downstairs after my shower.
“ You look like you don't belong in this world. Your heads stuck in the clouds.” Carla elbowed me as she put the leash on to Coco.
“ Come on Coco, it's only for a few minutes till we get to the park.” I spoke soothingly to my Yorkshire Terrier,” Orion, are you ready yet? Coco go bite him.” Orion glared at me, Carla resisted a urge to laugh I could tell.
“ I am ready, and if you make that tiny dog bite me I will get rather angry.” Said Orion, still glaring at me.
“ Coco doesn't bite people. We tried for hours once to get her to, so there's nothing to be scared of.” Carla stated, as I headed for the door I heard Orion retort that he was not scared of the dog.

Laughing mentally to myself I opened the door to smell the fresh air, Autumn was creeping upon us, the leaves where already starting to turn there shades of red, orange, yellow, brown. The wind was alive and crisp. I just stood there for a few moments before recollecting my self to shout at Carla and Orion to get outside. They showed up momentarily still bickering.
“ Honestly you two, your going to make me go crazy. Your worse then James and I arguing.” I laughed at them.
“ James who?” Carla asked forgetting who I was talking about.” Oh yea him, you guys argue like crazy,” I rolled my eyes at her, she obviously didn't get my point. It only took us a few minutes to walk Coco, she was a small dog. We got home around 7:26, Carla shouted at Orion and I to stay out of the kitchen so she could make breakfast in peace. I decided that I was going to read Advanced Transfiguration Guide. I really needed to catch up on home work, being the Head girl doesn't mean that McGonagall is going easy on me...

I agree, Coco is cute..
Orion says he is not and never will be scared of Coco..
I'll try and get more up before tonight, have a great new years everyone!

wow, gret chappie! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
liv and pink sparkles,

Thank you Jenny! Happy New Year to you also!

Here it is
Chapter Ten

Mikoyan slammed her books on the table angrily. Picking up the pale blueish-purple folder of the same table she left the library. Heading towards the library which was two stories beneath her. Upon arriving there she noticed a slip of parchment her mother probably left there

Headmistress-Minerva McGonagall
Divination-Sybill Trelawney
Defense Against Dark Arts-Harry Potter
Transfiguration-Minerva McGonagall
Care of Magical Creatures- Rubeus Hagrid
Potions-Lilly Snape
Ancient Runes-Bethany Miller

Muggle Studies-Daffie Grid
History of Magic-Cuthbert Binns
Herbology-Neville Longbottom
Charms-Filius Flitwick
Astronomy-Henrietta Black
Quidditch-Ginevra Potter
Librarian-Hermione Weasley

Quickly glancing down the whole paper she noticed several new teachers, two of them where rather famous.
“ What in the world is a world famous quidditch player doing at Hogwarts?” Mikoyan said out loud surprising herself. She hadn't noticed her aunt was in the room.
“ What did you say Miko?” Melanie asked walking over,
“ Ginevra Potter, who was chaser for the Holyhead Harpies is going to be teaching quidditch and running the matches at Hogwarts aunt Lanie,” Mikoyan answered still staring at the parchment is surprise.
“ That is surprising indeed.” Stated Melanie simply,” now I'll take that and return that to your mother if you don't mind Mikoyan.”
Mikoyan did her best not to roll her eyes, she hated her full name Miko was good enough for her.
“ Yes aunt Lanie,” Mikoyan replied walking from the room forgetting her folder.

Melanie picked up the folder and looked through it briefly, it was filled with pictures of her and Hogwarts friends, all the backs where labeled. The one that caught Melanie's eye was the one labeled.
Albus Potter, Christopher Young, Eliza Bones, Orion Malfoy, Mikoyan Davies.
Melanie raised her wand and made a copy of the picture. A Malfoy was at Hogwarts, this was good news indeed for Melanie. She then pulled a copper ring out of her pocket pressed it slightly then sat down in a chair as if waiting for some one.

*** Michael Turners PoV

I felt the copper ring on my finger burn up instantly, Melanie wanted me. I quickly apparated to the Davies house where Melanie said she was going to be for the week.
“ You wanted me Melanie?” I asked confused.
“ Yes, I believe I have found the man we where looking for. Orion Malfoy, he is the grandson of our dear friend Lucius. And currently at Hogwarts.” Melanie stated blandly.
“ What! No, there is no Malfoy, I checked over and over. How would you even know about this?” This was not possible, she was not supposed to know this.
“ My niece Mikoyan Davies has a picture in her folder, it contains the following students-Albus Potter obviously I need not explain, Christopher Young I know you know Mr Young, Eliza Bones who is the daughter of Susan Bones, Orion Malfoy... Who is indeed a Malfoy and then there is my own niece Mikoyan. I am mildly confused, if you checked the student list how come you did not see the name?” Melanie certainly didn't sound confused to me.
“ I didn't think that he would be of use because he is a.. A Gryffindor.” I muttered not looking up.
“ Gryffindor or not, he is use of us. His father shares the same hate towards Potter as do you, is that not correct Michael?” Melanie never shouted, but the way she spoke made you sometimes want her to shout at you.
“ Yes Melanie. But-” I was cut off
“ But what Michael?” Melanie's voice was cold as steel.
“ Orion Malfoy is normally seen in the company of mudbloods and blood traitors.” I was scared what Melanie's response would be.
“ Mudbloods and blood traitors? That is just a rumor spread by those unworthy to go to Hogwarts to try and bring the Malfoy name down, I am sure that Orion is smart enough to not waist his time on such filth.” Melanie was firm, there is nothing I can do to prove to her that Orion is not a worthy candidate.

*** Carla's PoV

“Oi! T get over here, it's your turn to wash dishes.” I snapped at my sister for the umpteenth time,
“ just a sec Car,” Tessa retorted back, before showing up three minutes later.
“ About time, my fingers hurt.” I glared at her drying my hands off I headed towards the living room.
“ Is cleaning all you ever do in this house?” Orion asked me trying not to laugh,
“ No, mostly fighting.” I answered with a grin, picking up my DADA book I started reading. There was a pleasant silence, I couldn't help but let my mind wander to what the new Hogwarts year was going to be like...

Miko is Roger Davies kid :)
Melanie has some sort of grudge against the Malfoys :mwaha:

I am already working Chapter 11.. I'm debating on them going back to Hogwarts in that one or not..

YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY!
new update!!!! lovin it! PAMS

:eek: It's been a few days since I updated, hopefully I will have the Chapter finished and up by tonight. I'll give you a sneak peek

I awoke breathing heavily and deciding that I hate nightmares officially, slipping out of my bed I headed towards the room on the far end of the hallway, opening the door I confirmed that Carla was still sleeping and I made myself know that she was still here.
Duh silly! Why wouldn't she be here, that was just a silly nightmare. Oh I just simply love scolding myself. My mind was a mess and I knew it. I went downstairs to get some water, checking to make sure that Orion wasn't going to scare me again. I gave him enough glory yesterday, he fortunately wasn't down here. But the owl from Hogwarts was. Quickly pulling off the three letters and letting the owl have some water and biscuits I sat down to read my letter. It was rather boring and dull, but then again I did get my head girl badge. I was interrupted from my thoughts of why McGonagall didn't give me the Head girl badge at Hogwarts by Orion arriving in the room.

Oh well, ignore the sneak peek.. Here is the real thing.. Hope it's not to long or short

Chapter Eleven


I awoke breathing heavily and deciding that I hate nightmares officially, slipping out of my bed I headed towards the room on the far end of the hallway, opening the door I confirmed that Carla was still sleeping and I made myself know that she was still here.
Duh silly! Why wouldn't she be here, that was just a silly nightmare. Oh I just simply love scolding myself. My mind was a mess and I knew it. I went downstairs to get some water, checking to make sure that Orion wasn't going to scare me again. I gave him enough glory yesterday, he fortunately wasn't down here. But the owl from Hogwarts was. Quickly pulling off the three letters and letting the owl have some water and biscuits I sat down to read my letter. It was rather boring and dull, but then again I did get my head girl badge. I was interrupted from my thoughts of why McGonagall didn't give me the Head girl badge at Hogwarts by Orion arriving in the room.


“ Malfoy.” I nodded my head curtly, mentally asking myself why I even did that.

“ Uh.. Grath?” He was confused, YES! My plan worked. At least what ever my plan supposedly was worked. I laughed in response.

“ What's up?” I asked through laughter. Orion gave me a look of 'what the heck is going on'.

“ I'm wondering why in the world your acting really really weird.” Orion answered.

“ Oh, that's a girl thing.” I collapsed in to laughter, and before Orion could respond Coco arrived, yelping loudly.” What in the world.” I jumped up quickly to go find out what was going on, Orion. To my annoyance followed.


By the looks of Coco had caught her paw in a rat trap. That had been dealt with easily, then came the harder job... Waking Carla.

I'm not even a alarm clock. Why the heck do I have to do this anyways? I vented out my anger by kicking her door, something that I was happy I did, before I could enter Carla opened the door.

“ Breakfast. Make. Now.” I ordered her through my pain, Carla gave me a look of someone that was over half a sleep then slammed the door in my face. I crossed my fingers hoping it worked before heading downstairs again.
It did work, Carla was down within eight minutes and breakfast was served within twenty-three minutes.
I wonder if anyone knows what peace and quiet is. I thought angrily to myself after being interrupted from my book for the eleventh time.

“ What is it Carla? Is someone dieing?” I asked annoyed.

“ You might die, in case you hadn't noticed, Mikoyan, Lily and Christopher are coming over.” Carla answered me.

“ WHAT!” I exploded. The last thing I needed was Christopher Young coming over, I have had a crush on him since our second year.” No way, and why is he even coming over?”

“ He heard that Orion was over here, and you.”

“ Oh shut it Carla.”

“ It's true. He mainly wanted to become here because of you.” I stared at Carla blankly, what she just said made absolutely no sense.. Glaring at her I began reading again, hoping with all my heart that Christopher was NOT coming over.


Unfortunately Christopher, Lily and Mikoyan showed up within fifteen minutes. Chris was first to show up, oh how I want to murder Carla.

“ Hi Tessa!” He said to me cheerily. I shot Carla a murdering glare.

“ Hi,” I responded dully, or as dull as I could manage. Orion was trying not to burst in to fits of laughter, I wonder why. Oh! I'm blushing, darn you Carla I will kill you! That wasn't the only thought on my mind I could tell as I went back to reading, hoping that Orion wouldn't laugh. He and Carla are SO dead after this. Fortunately Lily showed up next, almost killing Orion with a hug.. That is one thing I don't get, there parents hate each other but there like, best friends?!

“ TESSAAAAAAAA!” Miko announced her arrival rather loudly.

“ Hey Mikoyan! Did you get your prefect badge this year?” I asked, even though Miko was two years younger then me we where still friends.

“ I did! I am so glad, I'll be doing O.W.L's this year, I hope I don't fail.. Do you know what happens when you fail?” Mikoyan asked, I swear she has had sugar recently.

“ I think you redo your year. And Miko,” I waited for her to verbally respond with eye contact before continuing.” Your the best witch in your year.” Mikoyan squealed and hugged me hard.

“ Miss Confusing. It's lunch time.” Orion said to me, I glared at him before realizing what he was talking about.

“ Oh yea!” Sometimes I have to admit I am not the brightest witch ever.


***Elsewhere


“ Is that all you require Mistress Bella?” Iron and sarcasm dripped heavily from Michael Turners voice.

“ That is all Turner.” Bella replied silkily ignoring the sarcasm. Michael turned on his heel and left at once.

Bella also ignored this, staring at the fire and idly toying with her wand. Her face was pale and almost hallow looking, black curls and tangles framing the distorted skin, the eyes where sunken and empty. Bellatrix Black had the look of someone who had been to death and back, as if she had been in much pain, living barely as if part of her soul was still alive. The last real thoughts Bellatrix had before yesterday where of the Great Battle in Hogwarts in which she only survived because she like her master had resorted to the darkest of all magic. Horcruxes.


Lost in her thoughts Bellatrix did not notice someone else enter the room.

“ Madam Lestrange.” A wavering voice said, not quiet surprising Bellatrix.

“ Deroga. You are not quiet what I expected, and it's Black.” Bellatrix was still using her silky smooth voice.

“ Times have changed much since I last saw you Miss.. Black.” Deroga stated as he sat down in the seat across from Bellatrix.

“ They have indeed Vladimir. What do I owe this pleasure?” Bellatrix was always a get to the point right away person Deroga noted.

“ Because of Potter, every Death-Eater knows that he killed the Dark Lord, and he now seeks.. No let me fix that. Does not seek, he now resides at Hogwarts as the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, the very same job that was refused by someone more worthy, our master.” Vladimir Deroga did his best not to sneer.

“ Oh.. So you blame Potter for everything? I did not see you rushing to the Dark Lords side and taking a curse for him.” Bellatrix's fury was in her tone as well as her eyes.

“ I didn't see you do that either.”

“ In case you hadn't noticed Deroga. I was otherwise occupied.”

Deroga stared at her blankly for a second or so.

“ Now I have a slight problem, my sister and her family the Malfoys need to be dealt with. They abandoned the Dark Lord in his time of need. They will have to pay for this.” The anger in Bellatrix's eyes began to fade away.

“ So it is true then, you have come to take the Dark Lords place.”

“ Hardly, merely filling till he returns.

“ You believe that he will return?”

“ I have no doubt that the Dark Lord will return. He has already done so once.” Bellatrix lied easily, she knew that all of Voldemort's Horcruxes where destroyed and that Potter had killed him then burned the body, there was no possible way Voldemort could return.

“ When do you expect-” Deroga was cut off by another person entering the room.

“ Vladimir, it is time for you to go, do not bother my guest any longer.” Melanie snapped taking the seat Deroga had just vacated, then waited for him to leave before starting to talk with Bellatrix.” Bella, it has indeed been a long time since I have last spoken with you. And even then we hardly met.”

“ That is because you where a faithful servant to the Dark Lord as was I and obeyed him. But Melanie, please tell me what you know about my Grand Nephew.” Bellatrix responded with a smile.

“ Orion is said to be staying at a mudbloods house, and then to return back to Hogwarts to finish his last year as Head boy, and Gryffindor Prefect obviously.” Melanie answered a little hesitantly.

“ It seems to me that there is no Pureblood left that is sane.” Bellatrix scoffed.

“ My family still remains pure, but there is little others then that. The Potters are no longer pure, only two of the Weasley's had enough sense to marry Purebloods, the Longbottom line remains untainted, the Arnies have one last remaining heiress who was adopted by the Longbottom's, and then there is the Young's that still remain pure.” Melanie sighed, Bellatrix nodded in agreement.

“ Melanie, is there anyone in Hogwarts that might be able to help us?” Bellatrix asked.

“ There is still Christopher Young, you may remember his father.” Answered Melanie after a moment of thought.

“ Christopher Young will be perfect, tell me the main details about him.” Bellatrix said with a empty smile.

“ He is a Slytherin, 7th year prefect, I believe he is friends with Mikoyan Davies, I know he is friends with Albus Potter who is in his 6th year, also Slytherin.”

“ Potter named his child after the fool Dumbledore, idiot.... Good, Christopher is exactly who we need.”

“ I will begin gaining him on our side then Bella.”

“ Good luck, enjoy yourself.” Bellatrix continued to stare in the fire as Melanie left...

Okay.. Spoiler for Chapter 12... Sidney is coming back!

Ladeda, got to get to work on that chappie soon

Hehe, I'm glad you liked it.. Now I just have to find my notebook which I started writing Chapter 12 in and get that part on the computer

EEk! I need to start typing! :eek:

Bad bad me, for not updating earlier.. Here it is

Chapter Twelve

“ You didn't ask anyone else to come did you Carla?” I asked, she knows I almost always hate parties.
“ I invited Sid and Lexis, they'll be here soon, I almost invited Albus but decided against it, Sid may bring James though.” Carla responded laughter in her eyes.
“ Sidney knows me to well to do that, she wouldn't want Orion, James and I exploding the house and each other.” I retorted angrily.
“I totally would, and then everyone would place bets. Oh and by the way, if that happens make sure that you win.” Carla winked at me.
“ I will win, but not because you bet on me, because I am naturally faster then either Orion or James.”
“ Orion is pretty fast, I think that you will be a pretty fair match, James isn't that bad either, or else Sidney wouldn't date him.”
“ Sidney doesn't date for protection Carla, she doesn't need protections, the last time someone was on the receiving end of one of her curses they ended up in the hospital wing of for two weeks.”
“ I didn't mean it that way, I-ALEXANDRA!” Carla cut across herself and hugged her friend.
“ Carla! I haven't seen you in ages, how have you been?” Alexandra and Carla headed over towards the couch together.
“ Hey Tess, why exactly were you talking about when I sent Timothy Flint to the hospital wing?” Sidney asked laughing at the memory.
“ Because it was something hilarious to talk about.” I tried to to smirk innocently, and failed totally.
“ So Orion hasn't killed you yet?”
“ Sidney, never mind.. Not yet.”
“ I take it he has been unbearable?”

“ Not exactly, he did make me shriek like a girl though, I was coming down stairs in the middle of the night, didn't notice him sitting at the couch at first and when I saw him I freaked.”
“ Idiot.. Him not you.”
“ I was a idiot also, but I'm surprised Carla didn't wake up.”
“ Must have been really loud if you where surprised.”
“ It was, how has it been at the Longbottoms?”
“ Fun, one of there guests kids called Lexis, Blondbottom, he hadn't stopped looking at her in terror when he showed up the next day.” Sidney was well I burst out laughing. Unfortunately chocking on the water I had just drunk, Christopher came over and patted me on the back a few times.. That certainly didn't help.
“ Carla, your so dead.” I said as soon as I could take again.
“ What did I do?” She asked me confused.
“ You know what you did.” I was trying not to laugh still,
“ what- oh that!” The reason why suddenly dawned on her.” Sorry?”
Everyone else was laughing even though Carla, Sidney and I where the only ones that understood why.

“ Why don't you just tell Chris?” Sidney said to me a few minutes later, a look of horror spread across my face.
“ What!” I sputtered.”And become the school idiot, give Orion a reason to tease me for the rest of my life, no way!”
“ What reason?” Orion asked interested. It took a lot of control for me to not slap him then and there.
“ You don't need to know.” I glared at him instead of the slapping.
“ Doesn't mean I don't get to know.” He stated.
“ Fine. You won't know.”
“ Or maybe I will.”
“ WILL NOT!”
“ I promise I won't tease you about it.”
The offer sounded very tempting, but why? I mean he can't tease me about it if I don't tell him, unless it get's public somehow.
“ No, I won't tell you. You'd tease.. Fine I'll tell you... You remember that joke in our third year? The one about me? That's what where talking about.”
“ What! Your really have had a crush on Chris since you where thirteen?” Orion looked shocked.
“ Twelve actually.” Sidney piped up, she sometimes is annoying. Orion gave me a look of-I hope your joking. Then went over to Lily and started talking with her...

Here's a small spoiler from a bad author who isn't posting often enough

As I looked back over the past few weeks I realized that they weren't that bad, Orion was incredibly less annoying. And I am now dating Christopher Young, I can hardly believe that he asked me out over a week ago, tonight I am going on my fifth date with him. And half the girls in school are jealous. I think that I am growing less hateful day by day, I find myself acting nicer. I bet Sidney's rubbing off on me finally. Groaning, I decided to go to the Head prefects library, there are all sorts of books in there that aren't in the normal library, probably because we have to do more research.

Another update!

Chapter Thirteen

As I looked back over the past few weeks I realized that they weren't that bad, Orion was incredibly less annoying. And I am now dating Christopher Young, I can hardly believe that he asked me out over a week ago, tonight I am going on my fifth date with him. And half the girls in school are jealous. I think that I am growing less hateful day by day, I find myself acting nicer. I bet Sidney's rubbing off on me finally. Groaning, I decided to go to the Head prefects library, there are all sorts of books in there that aren't in the normal library, probably because we have to do more research.
“ Hey Tess.” Orion looked up quickly from his book then returned to reading it.
“ Hi.” I simply responded, picking up a book for Charms. There was silence, and my book was completely boring.” Whatcha reading?” I asked after a few minutes.
“ Quidditch through the ages.” Orion smirked at me,
“ Is that all you ever read?” I couldn't help but ask.
“ Maybe,” Came his reply, then started reading again. Over a hour later we both started to exit the library, it was getting late. Surprisingly Orion held the door open for me.
“ um, thanks?” I said warily.
“ No problem.” Orion sounded cold, and.. Polite?! It looked like he was crying.
WOAH Girl calm down! Orion would not.. Yea he is!
“ What's wrong?” I asked after mentally screaming at myself.
“ Nothing.” Orion quickly responded turning around and shutting the door.
“ Yea there is, you don't normally cry.” I surprised myself. Usually if he was crying or near there I would tease him endlessly. I'm getting to kind.
“ Nothing is the matter, at least nothing that you can deal with.” Orion snapped.
“ No need to get angry.” I retorted just then noticing how close we where together.
“ I'm not angry, I just don't like you getting in to my personal business.” Orion seemed to have calmed down a bit.
“ I was just wondering why you where upset, your not someone that easily upset.” I persisted, trying to ignore the fact that his face was inches away from mine.
“ When I said I would appreciate if you two became closer to each other, I didn't mean that close.” There was a sense of humor in McGonagall's voice. I jumped over a foot away from Orion, doing my best to not pull my wand out as I did, I also seemed to have gone rather red.
“ Did you want to talk to us?” I tried to calm down.
“ Actually yes I did, I wanted to let you know that the students from the other two wizarding schools arrive tomorrow.” McGonagall still sounded humored.
“ That's great.” I smiled.
“ Perfect.” Orion seemed cheered up suddenly, McGonagall cast us one last curious glance then disappeared.
“ You sure there's nothing I can do?” I rounded on Orion, making sure I was at least a foot away from him first.
“ 100% Sure.” Orion half glared at me, then turned around and left, I thought I heard him mutter something that had to do with pureblood but I wasn't so sure. Quickly I got ready for my date and left.

>>>>>Hogsmeade

“ Really.. I enjoy this and all, but.. I don't feel myself around you, I dunno, it doesn't make any sense.” I almost groaned in frustration.
“ So.. You don't want to date me anymore?” Christopher was way more calm then I expected him to be.
“ It's... Yea.” I looked down at my hands.
“ Alright, he's really lucky you know.” Christopher said standing up.
“ What..?” I asked blankly.
“ You obviously like someone else, I was just saying he's lucky.” Christopher hugged me then left. I was going to protest but decided against it. I decided to go with glaring at him in my mind as I trudged back up the castle and slumped down on one of the couches in the heads living room.
“ What are you doing here?” Orion asked me suspiciously, I jumped up and almost shrieked.
“ Uh. Came back early, what are you doing here?” I countered suppressing a grin as I sat back down.
“ Didn't feel like going to Hogsmeade.” Orion answered taking the chair opposite from where I was sitting.
“ Yea right.” I muttered,
“ yea, right.” Orion said, somehow hearing me.” You look upset.”
“ I... So what if I am?” All thoughts of grinning disappeared with the thought of breaking up with Christopher.
“ Why are you?” Orion ignored what I said.
“ Erm... Because I am.” I knew this wouldn't work.” I broke up with Christopher.” I finally added. Orion watched me with, awe? Happiness? Confusion? Boy's are so hard to understand. After a few minutes of silence I decided to go get a book to read, it took me about eight minutes to find a book to read, and the one I found was rather dull. Finally I decided to get some rest, because classes started again tomorrow. Shortly after getting in bed, I fell in to a deep sleep...

Almost done with Chapter Fourteen

That took longer then I expected

Chapter Fourteen

I awoke breathing heavily and gasping for air, not noticing someones hand on my shoulder.

“ What's wrong?” Orion surprised me so much I half shrieked.

“ Nothings wrong.” I glared at him.

“ So you normally scream in your sleep?” Orion asked sounding deadly serious.

“ I was..” I silently cursed under my breath.” Fine, I'll tell you if you take your hand off my shoulder.” Orion did remove his hand from my shoulder, but seated himself on my bed.

“ I was having a nightmare of when your grandfather and someone else murdered my brother in front of Carla and I.” I sat up as I finished, there was silence in the air for a few minutes.

“ I can teach you how to block out the memory.” Orion finally said, I looked up from my hands I was twiddling.

“ You can?” I forgot to be angry with him and sounded a little eager.

“ Yea. Come with me, you can research about what I'll teach you.” Orion stood up and held his hand towards me. I took it with out a moments hesitation, and only after leaving my room did I notice I was hold Orion Malfoy's hand. Quickly I withdrew mine, hoping that he didn't react.

At least he didn't say anything, last thing I need is... Er. What exactly is the last thing I need?Before I could decide Orion half shoved me on the couch.

“ Wha- Oh never mind.” I mentally slapped myself for zoning out. Soon enough he was explaining occlumency to me...

***The next morning

When I woke up the first thing I noticed is that my head was on Orion's shoulder.

“ What the! What happened?” I sat up obviously taking my head of his shoulder.

“ Good morning to you too.” Orion half smiled at me.” You fell asleep.”

“ I did not fall asleep!” I almost yelled at him.

“ Uh.... Yea you did.” Orion looked at me as if I was going crazy.

“ Fine. What happened-” I cut myself off as I looked around the room and noticed sitting on a chair opposite of the couch was a slightly amused looking Draco Malfoy.” Hi.” I said for lack of other words.

“ Hello..” Draco Malfoy looked like he was about to burst out laughing.

“ Hi dad?” Orion also seemed near laughter.

“ Your both crazy.” I glared at Orion.

“ Really... Am I?” Draco asked sounding slightly more serious.

“ Um.. Yea.” I half punched Orion as I walked by him towards my room, when I came back Draco and Orion were talking.

“ Yes.. Actually no, she's gotten less 'I'm going to kill you' over the past few weeks.” Orion sounded amused.

“ Could she kill you?” Draco asked.

“ Probably...” Orion answered.

“ I heard that.” I smirked at him before leaving the room and heading towards the great hall.” Sidney.. We need to talk now.”

Sidney looked up at me confused but stood up all the same and followed me.

“ How did last night go?” Sidney asked me.

“ Er.. What? Oh never mind.. It went horribly, we kinda like broke up.” I answered.

“ Oh. Sorry?” Sidney hesitated a little bit.

“ I kinda dumped him.. But that's not what I wanted to talk about, I have a problem.” I laughed a little.

“ What kind of problem?” Sidney seemed more interested.

“ I think I like Orion Malfoy.” If I had been talking to anyone other then Sidney they would have said- Oh that's nothing, everyone likes him. But fortunately, I'm not talking to everyone else. Sidney's mouth dropped in to the shape of a small o, then she quickly shut it.

“ That. Is. A. Problem.” Sidney finally spoke.” That's kind of creepy.”

“ Yea.” I smiled a tiny bit. Sidney matched my smile then we broke in to laughter...

Chapter Fifteen

“ Cara Beshdin. I'm in my eittgh teirm at Mistychioa. Pleaz ezcuse me Englo.” The black head shook my hand.

“ Augustus Beshdin, I am in my eigth term at Mystychioa, Cara and I are cousins.” The man also shook my hand.

“ Tessa Grath, seventh and last year here at Hogwarts. You two will be staying at the head prefects rooms.” I smiled warmly at them. Sidney and Orion then introduced themselves.

“ Oh! Tessa, I have to go. I'm going to be late for my date with James, take care.” Sidney suddenly said half way through our conversation with Cara.

“ Um okay.. Have fun, slap him for me.” I laughed slightly bemused.

“ Eez et truu dat Harry Potters chiledren go ere?” Cara's Italian French accent was a little amusing.

“ Yes. Actually Sidney dates his son James.” I answered, quickly I glanced over at Augustus and Orion, they were deep conversation over quidditch, rolling my eyes I turned back to Cara.

“ Dat eez certentlee a noice thing.” Cara laughed slightly.

“ Hey Tessa, which quidditch team is your favorite?” Orion asked.

“ Um.. Bulgaria because they have a drop dead handsome seeker or Holyhead Harpies.” I answered.

“ What! I'm drop dead handsome not Krum.” Orion sounded offended. I started to cough.

“ Take that back or else you'll regret it.” I said through my coughing.

“ No.” Cara and Augustus were now laughing.

“ Yes!”

“ No.”

“ Yes.”

“ What's going on?” Christopher, Lily and Albus had just showed up.

“ He says he's drop dead handsome.” I glared at Orion.

“ She say's I'm not.” Orion laughed.

“ It's alright Orion, you are.” Lily said soothingly.

“ Uhh. Lily. Please don't say things like that in front of your brother.” Albus through her a look of I'm-Telling-Dad. Lily, Orion and I all started to laugh.

“ Um. Hi?” Harry Potter had just shown up.

“ Daad. I mean Professor Potter. Lily said that Orion Malfoy was drop dead handsome.” Albus complained. Harry took one look at him then burst in to laughter. Sidney attracted by the noise walked over, James in tow.

“ What's up?” She asked.

“ Tessa says that Orion is not drop dead handsome.” Lily explained.

“ Lily says he is drop dead handsome.” I smirked.

“ Oh, then what is he?” Lily demanded.

“ Drop dead cute.” Everyone stared at me in shock.

“ Or maybe he's drop dead handsomely cute.” Sidney said after getting over her shock...

I am so bad for not updating recently.. Really bad of me, I'm gonna update really soon.. Have to finish the chapter

Chapter Sixteen

“ Uh.. Tessa. You just can't go around saying things like that. It's rather creepy coming from you.” Orion glared at me, I was glad that I had something to reply to hopefully make him forget what I said, that would be really useful.. I don't want anything knowing what I secretly think of Orion.

“ Seriously.. I just said something, not that I mean anything by it.. Do me a favor will you?” A bright idea came in to my head, well the favor idea thing. I wonder if it will work, it would be quite funny if it did. And rather creepy.

“ What?” Orion was totally suspicious. I liked it when he was suspicious, he has no idea what's going to hit him. I almost laughed in his face because of this, boys can be really dumb some of the time.. But then again, who would have ever know what I was going to say. I didn't even really know what I was going to say. Actually I take that back, how could I be able to say it if I didn't know what I was going to say. Gah! My mind is so annoying.

“ Don't enter the Tri-Wizard tournament we don't want a thick headed pureblood like you to be the champion.” I grinned at him,

“ I'll at least win it.. Unlike a certain muggleborn witch in my year.” He glared at me. I continued grinning at him then decided to go to the feast wondering how many different foods they would have. And I also pondered over the fact that he didn't call me a mudblood.. Strange, I wonder what brought a sudden change upon him. Weirdo.. Finally I found Sidney again, exchanged a few quick words with her then proceeded back to the Slytherin table.

“ Hi.” A first year Slytherin walked over to me, she looked really nervous. This was weird, but then I remembered that I was Head Girl.” I uh.. I.. My best friend and I were in the Forbidden Forest, and she got separated from m-me.. And I can't find her!” The little girl started crying. I did my best not to ask why they were even in the forest.

“ Alright, I'll go find her.. And let you both off this time. Just don't go in there again, want me to get her alone? What's your name and hers?” I tried to be nice.. Something I didn't specialize in. The girl looked shocked that I was letting them both off, obviously she had heard some stories about me, I was wondering why she came to me instead of Orion but then again, she probably thought he would treat her like dirt because she was Slytherin.

“ I-I'm Cadence Spinner, my friend is Ariel Weasley, if I could come with you just to make sure she doesn't get scared from you.. Er.. To make sure you don't scare her.” The girl stuttered. I scare someone? Since when was I ever scary? What rumors had this girl been hearing about me, I know there are some really strange ones but.. Me scary? Never!

“ Right Cadence, let's go.” I sat up, forgetting that I hadn't eaten anything. I took the younger girls hand and started for the doors. We got there pretty quickly and then proceeded to the Forbidden Forest, as soon as we were 100 yards away I pulled out my wand.” Precautions. I got lost in the Forest when I was around your age, third year I believe.” I smiled at Cadence.

“ What happened?” Cadence sounded interested, as she tried to return the smile. Not quite managing to do so. I like the girls white curls, they were pretty. Her misty eyes were rather mysterious looking, wow.. This girl is really pretty from my point of view. I'm sure that boys would be swarming around her when she was older, I feel bad for her.

“ Well uh.. I was stuck in there overnight and bumped in to uh.. Orion Malfoy, he kinda like.. Rescued me. But you can't repeat this story, I told him that if he told anyone that I would kill him.. But I won't kill you, your too innocent.” I grinned at her as we took another turn through the winding paths of the forest. Cadence laughed a little.

“ ALLIE?!” She called out after a few moments.” ARIEL? ARIEL IT'S ME CADENCE! WHERE ARE YOU?” Cadence was definitely worried when no response came.” Do you think she'll have to stay over night here?” She asked me weakly.

“ No, we'll find her.” I reassured Cadence, who brightened up slightly. I thought I heard a crack of wood being broken and spun around pointing my wand in that direction. And I was surprised at what I saw.” Caver!” I almost shrieked.” Don't ever surprise me like that again, by the way, have you seen a eleven year old girl around her.. What does she look like Cadence?”

“ Er..” Cadence stared at the big centaur in awe.” Hufflepuff, red hair, brown eyes, exactly my height, same heart shaped face as mine..” Cadence blinked a couple times as Caver walked over to me.. I kinda guessed that since Ariel had red hair.. Weasley..

“ I think I saw her that way.. Would like me to take you over there?” Caver asked in his deep voice. He watched us with surprise. I nodded and took Cadence's hand again. We traveled together for a bit and finally found Ariel Weasley, her foot was caught in some branches quickly I freed it.

“ CADENCE!” She yelled almost deafening me.” Oh my gosh, thank you! I was so s...” She noticed my badge and stopped suddenly, it was rather annoying.” Oh no!” Ariel muttered looking frightened. Cadence immediately start reassuring her friend that they weren't going to have detention.

“ You should all head back, the skies are darkening and the other centaurs would be displeased if you were in the forest for there meeting to watch the stars.” Caver had his head tilted towards the sky as he said this, it was getting dark I noticed, so I quickly led Cadence and Ariel out of the forest and back to the castle.

“ I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough miss Grath.” Cadence turned to face me, happiness beamed from her face almost.. I nodded a your welcome. Then made my mind up on something.

“ Hey you two, as to not get in suspicion from your room mates why you were away for so long you can come stay in the Head Prefects dorm, and can use my room.” I knew this was slightly crazy, but for some reason I didn't want to get them in trouble.” You won't get points taken away or detention, I've seen it be done before. Come on this way.

After a few minutes we arrived there and then entered, I showed them my room and started wandering around as they fell asleep. In my wandering as I was walking by Orion's room (which was empty). I heard some soft whistling, surprised I entered and looked around, the whistling stopped as soon as I entered. I was about to leave but saw the quidditch book on his bed and started reading having nothing better to do and forgetting who's room I was in. My mind began to cloud with images of Orion and I hated myself for letting that happen, eventually I cried myself to sleep.. On his bed...

Next update is here!

Chapter Seventeen

I woke up rubbing my eyes and almost panicked forgetting were I was..” Hey, Ariel wake up it's morning time, we are going to miss breakfast.” I shook the red head lying next to me, not waiting for a response I slipped out of the comfy bed and headed towards the living room. I was surprised to see Orion Malfoy on the couch reading a book.” Your up early.” I commented airily, Orion was clearly surprised to see me.

“ Cadence! What.. Your eleven but, this is the head prefects quarters, what are you doing here?” He paused slightly.” Actually, I probably don't want to know.. Do you happen to know why Tessa's sleeping on my bed? Couches are uncomfortable to sleep on." Orion patted the place next to him for me to sit, I proceeded to do so.

“ Well, I am eleven.. Tessa helped my friend, I mean.. You know Ariel Weasley? My best friend.. Yea believe it or not I'm friends with Ariel, anyways back to my story. Allie and I were exploring the the Forbidden Forest, NO! Don't say anything about me being dumb, even if it was my idea, Allie got lost and I had to find either the head girl or head boy to help me and you were somewhere.. Tessa helped then invited us to stay the night.”

“ You are the strangest girl I've ever met, discounting Tessa.” Orion rolled his eyes.” So.. Uh, I just don't understand how your a friend with a Weasley.. Wouldn't they like automatically hate you or something? I mean your related to the Malfoy's and your mum was Daphne Greengrass, that gives them every reason to h.. Let's not go there.”

“ You two know each other... Or what?” Tessa entered yawning, she looked rather tired to me.” Oh.. DARN! I.. Uh.” She face palmed.. I almost laughed, but I'm to nice to do such a thing.” I'm not apologizing Orion.. And why is your bed more comfy then mine? It isn't fair.. I'm registering a complaint to the...” Tessa stopped as Professor Snape entered.

“ So.. Cadence, is there a reason you were not in your dormitories last night? I was asked to check by your head of house the reason why you did not show up to your meeting with him.” Lily Snape narrowed her eyes at me, I couldn't believe that I forgot my meeting with Professor Potter, though I have one question to ask him.. Why did a Gryffindor end up being the Slytherin head of house.

“ Professor Snape!” I yelped jumping up in surprise.” I was uh.. Visiting with my cousin and uh. I'm so sorry! I have to go to apologize to him.. And uh.” I ran out of the room close to tears hardly believing my stupidity. Then I ran back in to the room quickly.” Hey Tessa why did you sleep in Orion's bed?” I ran out trying not to laugh now.

***Tessa's PoV

I am about ready to kill Cadence, I was blushing furiously as Professor Snape was laughing hysterically. Finally she left.” Yea Tessa, why did you sleep in my bed?” Orion asked he was.. Fortunately, not laughing. I have no idea how he could keep a straight face after something like this happened.” Or did you just randomly think my room was yours?”

“ I uhhh. Really don't want to get in to this now.” I glared at Orion and proceeded in to the kitchen. Orion followed having to deal with some stuff.” Your turn for dishes today.” I grinned cheekily at him changing the subject. He said nothing and actually started doing the dishes. There was a uneasy silence between us. So I decided to sit on the counter seeing as I could get away with it. Well I most probably could.

“ Five points from Slytherin for sitting on the counter.” Orion surprised me.

“ Five points from Gryffindor for splashing me with water.” I countered.

“ Five points to Slytherin for countering my sudden decision.”

“ Five points to Gryffindor to be fair.”

“ Five points from Slytherin to be unfair.”

“ Five points from Gryffindor because your Orion.”

“ Five points to Slytherin because your Tessa,”

“ Five points to Gryffindor for observing something.” We were now both laughing and rather enjoying ourselves.

***Breakfast table. Sidney's PoV.

What in the world! Slytherin lost 5 points, now Gryffindor. Wait.. There getting there points back, and taken away, and back.. What the. I swear that if.. TESSA AND ORION DID THIS! My train of thought suddenly came to a halt and I dashed from the table.

***Back to Tessa's PoV

Orion and I were still laughing after like three minutes, I was surprisingly literally, hanging off of him to not fall over. Well I mean like, my arm was around his neck. For some reason we both stopped laughing at the same time, I just stood there one arm around his neck staring in to his deep grey eyes doing nothing. Oh great.. Now we are back to this uneasy silence between us staring at each other. I could swear I moved closer to him.. Wait! Why am I moving closer to him if I didn't mean to. I am officially crazy. Then well it happened. We kissed.

***Tessa's Flashback.

I was standing in line waiting to be sorted, everything was just like.. Like a fairy tale. Soon enough I heard Headmistress McGonagall call out my name. I was shocked, I knew exactly what to do but then again. I didn't.” Go on up, I hope your in Slytherin.” The cute blonde boy who I think was named Orion smiled encouragingly at me. I walked up and put the hat on my head. And soon enough it yelled out for me to be Slytherin. I could swear that Orion clapped the loudest.

I was in a slight daze and stared at my gold plate rather bored and was surprised to hear.” Malfoy, Orion.” Shouted out. I looked up watching and hoping that he would also be Slytherin. I mean he was like, the cutest boy in Hogwarts! And I'd only just gotten there. Much to my dismay he was put in Gryffindor. And I payed no attention the sorting or anything else, well other then my plate.

“ Hey.. You look interested in learning every singly detail of that plate.” Orion surprised me, I looked up and noticed he was grinning at me.” I'm Orion by the way, Orion Malfoy. Your Tessa. Tessa Grath, nice to meet you.” He held out his hand still grinning, I took it and shook it smiling back at him.” So uh.. Congratulations on being Slytherin. I wish I was one.”

“ Hm, yea. Probably would have made a good one..” I looked back at my plate and bit my tongue not quite sure what to say. I noticed that the Potter, James person was trying to wage a glaring war with Orion and catch the first to be sorted eye, a red head named Sidney.” Is there a reason that Potter boy dislikes you?” I was hardly believing my eyes, how could anyone dislike Orion? I'm practically obsessing over the boy, but still, what's not to like?

“ Oh his and mine dad hate each other. Just carrying on the family genes I guess.” Orion laughed slightly, then kicked some third year out of the place that was next to me and then sat down in the girls place.” So, what do you think of Hogwarts? Or at least what you have seen of it. I was taken on a tour about three or four years ago, though I wasn't allowed in the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor or Slytherin dormitories or common rooms.”

“ Oh so those are the names of the house's, I honestly wasn't paying the slightest attention.” I wasn't going to say why though.” It's.. Magnificent, really truly magnificent. Though I don't understand in the slightest why someone would make something like this to teach school in. Well, magic isn't normal school. It's so weird, magic is.” Orion was laughing again, his laugh is so cute!

“ Your really funny. I've never known anything other then magic, I'm a pureblood and a only child. You got any siblings? My dad's normally really proud of me but he's gonna be really disappointed when he finds out that I'm in Gryffindor. I wonder if I wouldn't have to tell him.” The look on Orion's face made me laugh or giggle, whichever you which to call it.” What?” He turned to face me confused. It took me a little bit to calm down.

“ The look on your face was highly amusing.” I coughed slightly.. From then on Orion Malfoy and I were best friend, well that is until it happened. That horrible horrible it...

***End of flashback.

“ Tessa and Orion I'm going to-” Sidney broke off seeing us and her eyes went all big and stuff. I immediately pulled away from Orion.” What. Is. Going. On?” She asked taking deep breaths.” I mean! I know what's going.. Actually, I don't, you know some kind of explanation to why my best friend is kissing her arch enemy might be nice.” Sidney paused then continued.“ ORION WHAT WERE YOU DOING KISSING TESSA? I'M SURPRISED SHE HASN'T KILLED YOU YET!”

“ Um.. I'm really not sure why.” I started, Sidney stared at me as if I was out of my mind.” What?! I don't know why, aaaand he started it okay? Orion kissed me first.” Orion turned to look at me, I felt my face going red. As both my best friend and the guy I hate/love/just kissed me were watching me. It was rather uncomfortable. Plus Sidney's sudden out burst didn't help in the slightest.” First I fall asleep in his bed now this.” I muttered, but unfortunately the other two heard me.

“ YOU FELL ASLEEP IN HIS BED?!” Sidney looked like she was about to faint. I nodded my head weakly, falling on to the couch. I honestly feel like fainting myself, this is officially the worst day ever!” Tessa I thought you has some common sense, and what was that thing about Gryffindor and Slytherin gaining and loosing points?”

“ I wasn't in the room when she fell asleep in it.. Seriously Sid, you jump the worst conclusions.” Orion started to laugh, Sidney seemed to calm down a little bit.” Aand that.. That was us well.. Uh, having slight arguments with each other.” I could kiss Orion for dealing with Sidney. WOAH! Not doing that again.” Hey, why don't we go down. We get to find out who the Tri-Wizard Champions are today.” His sudden change of subject made me happy.

Lol.. No problem,

I've decided on two of the champions.. Almost three! :D

Next chapter :D

Chapter Eighteen (Orion's flashback, first year)

I wandered aimlessly around the huge stone castle looking for Tessa. She was probably with her friend AnnabSilt, school wasn't as fun as I had expected, which isn't saying much, I didn't expect much fun. My favorite time of the day was when I could hang out with Tessa in the library, she kept me sane somehow. I leaned against the cold stone walls and sighed, nothing could have prepared me for what came next, well possibly nothing.el

“ Hey handsome.” Some random girl I'd never met before grinned at me, she had two giggling accomplishes.” So, where's that mudblood servant of yours? Decided to get rid of and kill it, I would if I where you.” Her attitude made me furious, how could she call Tessa a mudblood or it!?” I'd be more careful who you spend your time with Orion, because my mom and your mom are bestest of friends, I'm sure that if your parents knew who you spent your time with.. Well, I'd feel really bad for you, I've heard of some punishment they use.”

“ Shut up and go away Edna.” I glared at her, recognizing her as Edna Parkinson, her mom had divorced her dad several years ago, and our moms were good friends. If my dad knew that I was friends with a mudblood, er muggleborn, I would be dead meat. Edna just laughed her sickly annoying laugh.” If you dare tell.. Anyone.. I'll kill you. Don't if you know what's good for you.” Edna looked scared at my sudden anger but continued cackling.

“ Hey Orion, what's going-Who's.. She, er them?” Tessa asked skipping over smiling, her happiness faltered when she noticed Edna and her accomplishes.” Oh wait. Your that second year stuck up prat Parkinson. Orion is she messing with-Hiya Annie, I'll be right over gotta finish with something over here.” Tessa half turned to wave to her Hufflepuff friend.

(a year later)

“ How could you do this to me Orion? I thought that.. That. I thought that you were my friend, that you didn't hate mudbloods, that you understood how I felt. I take it I was wrong.” Tessa glared at me as tears started to fill her eyes, I wished I could have told her this was a lie, that I didn't mean it. But I had to, if Edna hadn't told her mother.” Well I'm outta here. You can go back to spending time with your girlfriend Parkinson, obviously that's what you wanted.”

“ No Tessa, wait.” I grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, Edna raised her eyebrows threateningly, Tessa continued to watch me in distaste.” Just wanted to say bye mudblood.” I couldn't believe that I had to do this! Tessa burst out crying as she wrenched her arm out of my grasp then ran over to her brother who was totally confused as to what was going on.” I'm going to kill you Edna, this is all your fault!” I muttered.

“ Oh, Orie, but it's not my fault. If you hadn't forgotten your the one that started talking with that mudblood, you.. Mingled with her, I guess I could put it. Ooh! Look the train has arrived darling.” Edna giggle was almost enough to make me murder her. I ignored her stupidity to watch Tessa who was already jumping off the train running towards her family with her brother in tow.” Hey Chris what's up?” I hadn't noticed that Christopher had arrived.

“ Er.. Go away Edna. What's wrong Orion? I swear you've been acting off and there's this whole thing with Tessa, one day your best friends next day your calling her a mudblood.. What the hell is going on?” Christopher asked digging his hands deeper in his navy blue sweatshirt. He notices things to easily.” Does Edna have anything to do with this? Because she's almost literally hanging off of you.” Fortunately Edna had left when Chris told her to.

“ I don't want to talk about it. See you when school starts Chris.” I shoved by him grabbing my bag glaring daggers at my father and mother, who were utterly bemused as to why I was so angry, once we got home they started to question me, well more mom then dad.” I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! Leave me alone.” I yelled before heading up to my room pulling out the present Tessa got me last year, a iPod. Cranking the volume up I started to listen to the song relaxing as I did so.

The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake
And I can't control it
Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up
And break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark
It's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul,
It wants my heart
No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel like a monster

(Tessa and Orion's 3rd year)

I heard a shriek of pain emitting from the Forbidden Forest and decided to check it out, I was really surprised to see Tessa there. She never broke the rules!” What are you doing here, Malfoy.” Tessa spat turning angry as soon as she caught sight of me.” Never mind don't answer that, just get me out of here.” I forgot she hated to climb tree's and then I started to wonder what in the world she was doing in on. I started walking towards the tree.

“ In case your still confused about why I'm here I heard someone shriek in pain and decided to help.” I answered the first question, even though she told me not to.” Why are you in a tree anyways? You hate them.” Tessa just glared at me not answering the question, I didn't think she would.” If you don't tell me I won't help you out and I'll just leave.” I knew I wouldn't do that not even if a monster was charging me, but Tessa didn't.

“ I was attacked by something.. Er, a. I was just attacked that's all, I. A-a baby thing attacked me.” For some reason she was avoiding the question, I wondered what baby thing she would be scared of, only just then I noticed her leg was bleeding, how could a baby make anyone bleed?!” Well, do I have to answer the-Ugh! A baby Basilisk attacked me.” My jaw dropped, was she dumb or what? By the looks of it she was bitten.

“ Jump.” I said, Tessa looked at me like I was mental.” Jump down from the tree silly.” She still stared at me.” I'll catch you, just jump. If you don't jump then you'll be stuck up there for who knows how long or you'll be attacked by that Basilisk again which I don't even want to know why there was one in the Forbidden Forest. So jump or don't jump it's up to you.” I was pretty sure that she was going to jump, eventually. Even though I hadn't talked with her for ages she hadn't changed much I could tell.

“ If you don't catch me, or if you drop I'll kill you!” Tessa glared at me before preparing to jump out.” I'll do it on the count of three. One... Two..” There was a pause and as sharp intake of breath.” You know what, maybe I could somehow get out of here with out jumping.” I totally saw this coming. I just stared at her.” On my head be it. Three!” And with that she jumped and I barely caught her.” Wow.. I'm never ever EVER doing that again. Now let's get out of here.”

Last Update: 3/23/2010

Sowwy for taking so long to update this! But here it is!
 

Chapter Nineteen

I sat down with a sigh, I was the Hogwarts champion, who would have ever knew?! I ran my hand through my hair tired. Glancing up I saw James, for some reason I just wanted to go over there and talk with him. Which was weird, I resisted the urge and flipped open my Arithmancy book to do homework. I didn't notice James come over and sit down next to me till, well until he did it. This was officially awkward. I continued reading, feeling him bore his eyes in to my skull. Then next thing I knew Orion was sitting on my other side. Great! I'm being ganged up on by guys.

I still said nothing, seeing as they weren't, and started scribbling down notes on a piece of parchment, it was really weird having two guys sitting next to me when I was trying to work. But I wasn't in the mood for being rude, I know shocker! I'm always rude to these two, well, normally. I've been more friendly with Orion. Like when we kissed, cough cough. But that was all him! Not me, I had nothing to do with that. Er, except the fact that I kissed him back. Gah! Why am I arguing with myself over Orion being a idiot?! Well, he's not exactly a-.

“ SHUT UP!” I shouted suddenly, half the people in the library turned to face me as I went bright red. And buried myself deeper in to my book. After a while I felt Orion staring at me also, I must have done something. Or maybe it was the random shouting shut up, to myself. Well, no one knew that right? I sure hope that no one heard my private conversation with myself about.. Let's not go there. Okay, these guys are really annoying me. Time to call on grumpy and grouchy.” Is there a reason you two are staring at me?” I asked sighing in a bored sort of way.

" Hey, Tess.. Did-" Sidney cut across herself." Get out of my seat Potter." This I totally had to ask about, she was never rude to her boyfriend before. I raised an eyebrow as she sat down." We broke up a little while ago, we are teenagers, my hearts totally not broken.. But why did you randomly yell shut up? Just wondering." She laughed slightly, I chuckled nervously, at least Orion wasn't staring at me anymore, neither was James. Gosh I could have screamed in joy, but that would have made everything really, REALLY awkward, I then remembered Sidney's question.

" I.. I was having a argument with myself as I do every now and then." I muttered to her, she nodded and said nothing, understanding perfectly. I continued working on Arithmancy homework in silence, secretly enjoying it. After some time I went to the head's library and read there because some loud and rowdy girls entered. My mind trailed off, I wasn't concentrating on homework anymore. I had taken a new piece of paper out and started scribbling on it bored, I wondered how I would get over my.. Childish crush on Orion.

I sighed, and started to draw a picture. Not really paying attention to what it was of, something I probably should have done, especially because of who was standing behind me and watching me draw it. I paused giving it a second glance, and noticed I had drawn Orion Malfoy. I almost flipped, why, WHY!? Did I draw a picture of him." Hm, you know if you get crazy enough Tessa you'd put it up on your wall." I grinned evilly at myself and laughed at my own semi, well, in my idea, semi-stupidity. Gosh, I have to deal with this crush.

" Hm, I don't look half bad, and the putting it on your wall sounds nice but I have enough fangirls already." Orion smirked, I almost shrieked and dropped the picture, I resorted to slapping him instead, he deserved that." Hey! Is there something wrong with commenting on your drawing?" He asked in his most sweet and charming tone, oh gosh.. Tessa, you have problems, I mentally yelled at myself, this was probably the weirdest thing ever. EVER! I ignored him and eventually returned to work, I then slipped off in to a troubled sleep.

“ TESSA!” If someone shouts my name one more time I will slap them, blinking hard and shaking myself. I sat up straight, I had fallen asleep in the library, how comforting, and there was something that resembled a party.. They are so lucky that Madam Weasley is out having private lessons with my little sis Carla. I looked around to see who was yelling at me, Sidney, how tragic.” Tessa, are you alright?” What the hell type of question is that? Of course I'm alright, er, aren't I? I was just asleep wasn't I? I asked her this, being clearly confused.

“ You were uh.. Shouting Orion's name, in your sleep.” Mikoyan muttered, I was?! I didn't even remember dreaming anything, and no one in their right mind would say I was dreaming about Orion, unless... Unless it was me killing him, yea, that would be fun! Oh great, people were staring at me as I got lost in my fantasies of killing and ki.. KILLING! Orion. Yes, yes. I'm crazy and my crush is so annoying it's not funny.

“ I was not! I wasn't even dreaming about him, heck, I wasn't even dreaming!” I snapped, slightly defensively, perfect, Orion was in the room, he'd never let me live this down if I really did dream about him.” Er, was I?” Tessa Grath, you are so d.u.m.b.” Okay, so uh, maybe I was. But. I was probably killing him or something.” I rolled my eyes and then left the room with still, everyone, staring at me. I was kinda glad I'd never see them again after school, and that Christmas break was coming up. I love Christmas! It's one of the only holiday's I like.

“ Hey. You okay?” Orion had followed me! ARGH! I'm going to die, big git. I half nodded, half shrugged and picked up a book, not quite interested in talking with Orion. I mean, when am I ever? There was a slightly comfortable, slightly awkward silence between Orion and myself. Not that I cared, did I ever? Why am I asking myself all these questions?! Gosh, I'm annoying myself almost as much as Orion and James annoy me.

“ Good night.” I called to him cheerfully and headed out of the room, I was leaving early tomorrow, thank goodness, Sidney said she'd wake up in time to say goodbye, I doubted she would, she slept in normally. I think I'm.. The only one going home, and it's because of the Yule Ball. BLEGH! But McGonagall said I had to come back for that, and I don't even need a date! Ha! Best news ever, smirking triumphantly to myself, I fell asleep. Ignoring the fact that I'd have to do the opening dance with Orion.

Ohmygosh! I'm leaving you all with a cliffhanger!
 

Chapter Twenty

I was able to get in to the Hogwarts at 11:32pm, Christmas Eve. And then in to the heads dorms, as I was passing Orion's room I noticed the light was on, curious at what he was doing at this late at night I entered, he was sleeping at his desk, silly. I levitated him to his bed and was about to leave when I saw a half finished letter at the desk, the two words that caught my eyes were. Dear Tessa. Weird, last time I checked I was the only Tessa that Orion knew, so I went over to read it, he wouldn't mind would he? Not that I cared, I never care.

Dear Tessa,

I've written this letter hundreds of times, but I've never had the courage to send it before, and I'm probably not going to send this one. But, at least I'm writing it, that's a plus, right? Anyways, when we were still in our twelfth year Parkinson forced me, well threatened, and now your thinking how in the name of Merlin could Parkinson threaten me?! I'm deathly scared of my dad, and my dad kinda hates muggleborns. Anyways.

She said that if I remained friends with you then she would tell my father, and I didn't want any harm to come to you! Cause um.. I like you. Okay, that sounds really lame, but then again, this whole thing is really lame. After that I was so used to forcing myself to hate you, I kinda, did that. Er, hated you. But then at the end of my fifth year I realized I was in love with you. And now your probably thinking I'm mental, but it's true.

I didn't even notice I was crying at first, oh gosh. I never, ever, ever, thought that he cared for me! Like, ever, well after what he did, after what Edna forced him to do! I could hardly believe I was crying. I glanced back at Orion who was still asleep, feeling bad for him for once in my life. I kissed his forehead and was about to leave the room when I decided on doing something else, I lightly brushed my lips against him and when I pulled back I saw him smile.

I went to my room and smirked to myself. I was also in love with Orion, and I couldn't deny it any longer, he loved me, I loved him, now why the heck couldn't things work out between us? I fell asleep and didn't think about it any longer, not really wanting to.

*** The next morning.

Orion was pouring himself orange juice and wondering how he got in to his bed the night before, he was pretty sure that he fell asleep at his desk. And he was even more surprised when he saw Tessa enter the kitchen, last time he checked she was at her home. Not Hogwarts.” Er, when did you get here?”

“ Last night, when did you think I got here?” Tessa grinned, taking the orange juice from him and pouring herself a glass before sitting in the counter and watching him, wondering what to say.

“ I wasn't sure, and didn't really think about it.” Orion responded sitting across from her, also on the counter. Tessa couldn't help but giggle.” Your giggle is funny.” Tessa immediately stopped, then they both started laughing.

“ I um.. Read the letter.” Tessa said in a low tone after a minute or so, Orion blinked confused.” The one, that you fell asleep on last night.” She secretly hoped he wouldn't kill her. Orion suddenly paled.” And uh, I think it's, kinda cute.. You actually having. Feelings for me.” Tessa blushed a little, then deciding on doing something which she told herself to never do again she walked over to him and slipped her arms around his neck, then kissed him.

“ Hey Orion, it's almost.” Christopher stopped, seeing Tessa and Orion kissing.

“ Oh, um hey Chris.” Tessa felt her face go extremely red. This was not what she expected, Orion, she noticed, was not red at all.

“ Hi Chris.” Orion was grinning widely.

“ Oh. Um. Leaving quickly.” Chris did so, causing Orion to laugh harder then he had in some time.

“ You know, saying you liked me in that letter was pretty lame.” Tessa teased.

“ Hey, that's.. That's not funny.” Orion glared at her for a second before laughing.

“ Why thank you, I know.” Tessa said coolly, before laughing.” Let's head down to breakfast, and if you don't sit with me at the Slytherin table I'll sit with you at the Gryffindor one.”

“ Is that a threat?”

“ How is sitting with you a threat?”

“ I dunno, you seem a little mentally deranged at times and have a dog that hates me.”

“ What does Coco have to do with this?”

“ Absolutely nothing, I just wanted to annoy you.”

“ Wow, and when Sydney told me guys were complicating, I never knew exactly what she meant.”

“ You should, didn't you date Christopher.”

“ Are you jealous of your best friend?” Tessa was incredulous.” Is that why you were cr.. Er, let's go eat breakfast.” She cut across herself seeing Orion's stony face and they ended up sitting at the Gryffindor table.

“ Hey Teeessaaaaa!” Sydney almost ran in to her best friend as she came to a skidding stop right next to the Gryffindor table.

“ What Sid?” Tessa turned to the loud girl confused.

“ Sumonsaddatbelstraneibacanwatstokilorin!” Sydney recited at top speed.

“ Speak English girl.” Orion said rolling his eyes.

“ I was idiot.” Sydney glared at him.” Someone said that Bellatrix Lestrange is back from the dead and want's to kill Orion...”

Cool!

Thank you! I'll try and get an update up soon..

Chapter Twenty One

Have you ever feared for your sworn enemy? Have you ever feared that a ghost is haunting them? Have you ever feared that this ghost is an actual being? Have you ever feared that this person will kill your enemy? Have you ever feared that you were in love with your enemy? Let me guess, most of you would answer with a big no-no. Most of you would stare at me as if I was an insane being, who had no idea what they were talking about. But trust me, I know quite well. Bellatrix Lestrange is back from the dead.. That I can see with my own two eyes, and I'm not insane. Let me tell you how I came to be face to face with this monstrosity of a witch.

I was on my way over to Care of Magical Creatures, early, when Christopher Young stopped me. He wanted to say something to me, and next thing I knew, he had his wand drawn and pointed at my chest, before I could even properly react, a stunning spell hit me, immediately knocking me unconscious. I swear the next time I see him I will brake his nose.

" So, Tessa.. Your going to help me." Bellatrix spat circling me like the mad woman that she was.

" I find that hard to believe." I scoffed at her, since when did I have an ad somewhere saying I was looking to be hired by sadistic, dead, mental witches?

" I'm sure you don't, I know all about Orion and you, and you are my bait." I blinked, like, two people knew about Orion and I! Sydney and.. Chris. Scratch the breaking the nose, I'm going to cruciatus him.

" Some bait I'll be, he won't even know where I am.." Unless Chris somehow told him without getting discovered that he was the one that brought me here.

" I can read your mind you stupid girl." I blinked again, and this time I wanted to slap her!

" I can kick your butt you stupid pureblood." I responded scathingly, I really didn't have time for this, okay, so what if I did?

" Don't speak to me like that mudblood!" She hissed angrily at me, and I just gave her a cheeky smile as my new response.

" What do want so badly with my boyfriend anyways?" I couldn't help but ask.

" Revenge." Was her simple reply.

" Um, he was born after you died.. Well, kinda died."

" I want revenge on all the Malfoy's."

" Really?.. Then why don't you go like, Avada Kedavra Lucius?"

" That will not do, I want them all to suffer, long."

" Right, that's pleasant..." I rolled my eyes at her. And then it finally hit me, I was kidnapped, and she was going to kill Orion.

" Ma'am, I'm ready to go." Christopher Young suddenly appeared, and with out even bothering to stop myself, I walked over to him and swung my fist hard in to his nose." OW! You bloody mudblood!" He spat at me, and I moved to duck his blow, but somebody else stopped it.

" YOUNG! Do not harm the package!" Bellatrix shrieked as she grabbed his wrist." Now go!"

------

" Orion!!" Christopher ran up to his best mate.

" Chris, what happened?" Orion spun around in shock.

" I was on my way to Care of Magical Creatures in the Forbidden Forest with Tessa, and two men showed up, they grabbed Tessa and I grabbed on to their cloaks as they apparated away, but one of the punched me so I barely caught sight of the place before I found myself back in the Forbidden Forest, they took her to the Black Estate.. But I believe that this is all a plan to get you captured, don't rescue her, just call in the auror's." Christopher explained, breathless.

" WHAT?" Orion bellowed." I'm not going to wait for the auror's, they'll take to long, who knows what Bellatrix could have done to her in that time."

" How are you even going to get there?" Christopher persisted, really worried for his friend now.

" That doesn't matter." Orion responded, and next thing Christopher knew, his mate had disappeared.

" Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn it!" Christopher hissed to himself..

Sorry for the cliffhanger and it being so short!
 

Chapter Twenty Two

I glanced up shakily and saw him, I saw Orion, he was here to save me, I had been tortured for the past hour by Bellatrix, so much for the "no damage to the package", she loved the cruciatus spell quite a bit, and that's all she ever did use on me, I was worried that I was going to turn into Professor Longbottom's parents, I was going to be insane for the rest of my life, I'd be like Gilderoy Lockhart! But when I looked up again, I realized Orion wasn't there, and he wasn't coming, it was all just a delusion that my mind was playing on me, I'd be stuck here forever..
------

"Tessa, Tessa, wake up, please." Strange voices shifted in and out of my ears, they sounded alien to me, and I hardly understood the words that were reaching me."Tessa!"

Confused, I brought my hand to my head, which was throbbing like crazy, I didn't understand, why was there red juice all over my hand, who spilled juice on my head?"Whah." I mumbled, getting even more confused by the second.

"Tessa, your alive!" Someone, no idea who, was hugging me tightly, and crying on me as well. I think.

"Why is there juice on my.." I trailed off, realizing that it was not juice."What happened? Who are you?"

"Tess, it's me, Carla, your sister, Carla Grath." The person sounded really worried now.

"Who?" I repeated, trying to push myself up into a sitting position, everything was all hazy and blurry.

"Ohmigosh, get the healer now!" This Carla person cried out, before bursting in to tears all over again.

"What, what's wrong?" Someone in sickly white robes entered, wand drawn.

"She doesn't, remember me!" Carla said, lip trembling.

"Oh no, this isn't good, the last time we came across something like this was, so many years ago." The healer muttered. "I'm sorry love, but this is irreversible, I can't do anything for her.

"You have to! You have to save her!" Carla persisted angrily through her sobs.

"Carla, it's just like my grandparents, Frank and Alice Longbottom, there is nothing we can do." Someone else spoke up.

Then everything began to sift in to place, Bellatrix, Carla, Orion, Alexandra, the Longbottoms. The next thing I knew I was shrieking uncontrollably, shrieking and crying and writhing in pain.

"No, no, no." I began to scream through out all of this, remembering everything all to clearly."ORION!"

These are really good! When will your next update be?

Thank you!
Hopefully later today!

Chapter Twenty Three

"She has Orion!" I couldn't stop my screaming, and everyone was staring at me confused. "She's going to kill Orion! I need to stop her." If it wasn't for the healer and Carla holding me down I would have apparated away in an instant. "Carla! Let me go, I need to stop her from killing Orion!"

"But I thought you wanted him dead?" Carla looked at me still extremely confused. "I thought you hated him."

"I LOVE HIM!" I yelled at her. "Now let me go."

"YOU LOVE HIM?" Carla exploded, her eyes bulging.

"Yes, now let me go!" I demanded of her.

"Slow down, forget Orion for a moment, since when did you love him?!" Carla countered, and the healer was staring at us as if we were insane.

"Since, I don't know! Since we've been going out." I shrugged, still struggling to get up.

"Your going OUT with ORION MALFOY? Are we talking about the same Orion here?" Carla stared at me in disbelief.

"Yes, I am going out with Orion Malfoy." In her shock Carla relaxed her hold on me and I escaped, grabbing my wand I apparated away to where ever I had been before, with a quick reducto I blasted a large whole through the door, no one, I repeat, no one stands in the way of an angry Grath.

"Tessa! Get out of here before Bellatrix finds you again." Chris hissed suddenly, and I turned to face him, shoving my wand up next to his throat.

"You. Sick. Git. Tell me where Orion is!" I snapped at him, trying not to explode.

"Tessa, what do you even see in Orion he's never been there for you." Chris attempted to stall.

"YOU SHUT UP! You don't know anything about what's been going on between Orion and I, you will tell me where he his or else I will will use crucio on you." I yelled at him, flinching he lead me wordlessly down in towards what I presumed to be the basement, he paused at the door, his hand shaking.

"You won't like what you'll see Tessa, I don't think your prepared for this, you haven't seen anything near dangerous before in your life." Chris paused, giving me a strange look.

"You don't even know what I've seen Chris, I've been tortured to near insanity, I saw my own brother die in front of me! You don't even KNOW!" I nearly screamed at him again, and he looked at me in shock, with a quick non-verbal the door was blown away, I entered the dungeon like bottom floor.

I saw Orion curled up in pain in one corner and Bellatrix in another yelling at Michael Turner. Fury boiled through my veins. With a quick and totally unexpected curse, Bellatrix crumpled to the ground, and Michael turned towards his savior shocked, but paused, he recognized me. "Wait! I have an explanation!" He protested backing away from me. My anger only rose miles higher, and I waited for him to continue. "I didn't, we didn't, I just, it was, mistaken, wrong, thing, person, boy." Michael stumbled over his words as I advanced on him, looking murderous.

"That is the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard someone say." I spat hatefully at the co murderer of my brother.

"We didn't think that, we didn't understand, if we knew." Michael kept speaking in incomplete sentences.

"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!" I shouted at him, my wand was now digging in to his chest and he looked at me in horror. "You killed him in front of my little sister and I, you understood perfectly what you were doing."

"Please, just give me a second chance, the second chance that Timothy deserved." Michael begged, now shaking in fear.

"DON'T say his name!" I did all I could possibly do to not continue yelling, I realized that Orion was still here, and casting another spell, Michael was stuck to the wall and I walked over to the youngest Malfoy. "Orion, please, be okay." I whispered hoarsely, I hesitated and then cast ennervarte.

"Tess?" He croaked, blinking slightly, my heart soared as he recognized me, I was so worried. "Tessa, you got to get out of here, Bellatrix..."

"I dealt with her, it's okay Orion." I mumbled, hugging him tightly and never wanting to let go of him again...

Note: I am leaving tomorrow for Florida!
 

Chapter Twenty Four

"Tess, let's get out of here." Orion muttered as he pulled himself up.

"Wait," I stopped him as he began to lead me out. "I still have unfinished business with Michael."

"Tessa, you can leave them here, call in the aurors." Orion persisted, giving the other two occupants of the room disgusted looks.

"Orion, the aurors will be to easy on him." I shot back.

"What do you mean by that, all he's done is help Bellatrix." Orion gave me a confused look.

"All he's ever done is help, but he helped Lucius kill my brother in front of Carla and I." I said, my body began to shake again from tears that wanted out.

"Tessa, he'll go to Azkaban, there's not much else you can do." Orion had taken a deep breath before responding.

"He doesn't deserve Azaban, he deserves so much worse! He doesn't deserve to live!" I cried, feeling like a child and wanting to stomp my foot, Orion then put his arms around me and pulled me closer to him, he kissed my forehead.

"Tessa, a lot of people don't deserve to live, but there's nothing we can do about that. I know what your thinking, I know you want to go over there and kill Turner, but I don't want you to leave me ever again, I don't want you to go to Azkaban, I don't want you to have the guilt of killing someone on your conscience." Orion whispered in to my ear as he held me, I just cried harder, knowing what he was saying was true. "Now, let's get out of here."

"Okay," I mumbled in to his shoulder, he then let go of me for the briefest second then wrapped one of his arms around my waist and we began to exit, that's when I caught sight of the horrendous traitor.

"Chris, what are you doing here?" Orion exclaimed, confused.

"He's probably waiting around for Bellatrix, he's the one that brought me here." I spat scathingly, glaring at Christopher.

"Your probably just confused Tessa, Chris wouldn't..." Orion began then trailed off.

"I'm not lying or having hallucinations Orion, believe me." I softly looked up at him, I knew it would be hard for him to believe his best friend was evil, I didn't even want to imagine what I'd do to him if he told me that Sydney was trying to kill me.

"No, you don't understand! I'm your mate Orion, I told you not to go! I didn't want any of this to happen." Christopher pleaded.

"Why did you do this?" Orion's tone was extremely choked.

"I, I was jealous, alright? I wanted Tessa." That made me shrink closer to Orion. "I didn't know what to do, Michael came and told me that Bellatrix would like me to work for her, and then, she promised me Tessa."

"You think I would ever want to be with you after what you did to me, to Orion?" My eyes had grown larger in disbelief and disgust. I would have continued, I would have cursed and hexed Christopher, I would have sent him to the moon, but just then, the door was blown open and there were several auror's there.

"What's going on here?" One with vivid read hair walked over, I remembered him to be Ron Weasley. "Wait, kids?"

"Bellatrix Black and Michael Turner are downstairs." Orion turned towards him.

"And take this one too, he helped them." I put in.

"How do we know we can trust you?" An auror snarled at me. "How do we know you didn't help them too?"

"I'm a freaking muggleborn, can you see me and Bellatrix being best buddies? And Michael, he murdered my brother, obviously were the greatest chums! And Christopher," I paused and glowered at him. "Clearly it's my greatest desire for this creep to kill my boyfriend and try and take me for himself, yep." I rolled my eyes at them.

"We are still going to take you into the Ministry of Magic to confirm all of this, names please." Another, nicer, auror stepped forward.

"I'm Orion Malfoy and this is Tessa Grath." I saw all the aurors look at him skeptically, great, now they thought he was evil...

OMGOMGOMG! Orion is amazing, and no one should ever try to stop an angry Grath! When will your next post be?! These are great!

Thank you!!!
Haha, I love Orion!
Nope, no one :xd:
When I get back from Florida I expect, it'll be the last chapter probably!
And thank you again!

I'm tearing up and my throat is closing, this chapter is going to be nearly impossible to write! It's so sad and happy at the same time! And I'm falling for Orion, haha, Tessa will totally kill me now!

Spoiler!

I had like 3-4 pages of the last chapter but my mouse went crazy and clicked discard, I stupidly didn't have it backed up at all and it didn't give an option to get it back at all. So, the chapter will take longer to put up.
My sincerest apologies, Gabbeh

Final Chapter
 

Chapter Twenty Five

“Tessa,” the addressed looked up with a faint look of surprise on her face, she then smiled weakly at the person who had called her. “How are you?”

“I'm fine.” She responded to Sydney, who retaliated with raising her eyebrows, crossing her arms and sat down across from the Head Girl.

“Yup, now what's bothering you?” Sydney persisted, and Tessa gave her friend a sad look before continuing.

“I nearly used an unforgivable curse, I was going to.” Tessa shuddered at the memory, Sydney, who hadn't been prepared for this, nearly shrieked in surprise.

“On who?” Sydney couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“Michael Turner, I remember him now, he was the one that helped Lucius kill...” Tessa looked away, not being able to speak anymore.

Sydney's mouth fell open into a perfect o, and several emotions crossed her face. “I don't really blame you, if it was me I would have avada kedavra'd him as soon as I realized who it was.”

“I was going to crucio him.” Tessa mumbled looking down at her feet.

Sydney was once again rendered silent, she knew just how much Tessa hated that spell. “Tessa, what I'm really curious about is, why didn't you unforgivable him?”

“Orion stopped me.” Tessa fought back the tears in her eyes. “I would have crucioed Turner if Orion wasn't there, and then I wouldn't have been able to live with myself, I'd have been a law breaker, a, a.” Tessa then burst into tears and Sydney was reminded (not that she needed a reminder) as to just how serious this was. Tessa never, ever cried. And Sydney wasn't quite sure how to deal with a crying Tessa, she never had to before.

“Tessa, it didn't happen, Orion was there, you don't need to dwell on those memories.” Sydney said as she tentatively placed a hand on Tessa's shoulder.

“I know, but I can't stop thinking about it.” Tessa, thankfully in Sydney's opinion, didn't push her friend away. “I don't know how to stop, help me Sid.”

“I can't stop you from thinking about it Tessa.” Sydney paused, not sure she was saying the right thing or not. “Only you can, I really wish I could help you.” Sydney collected her books and then left Tessa sitting at the table in the library alone.

“Thanks Sydney.” Tessa muttered to herself, saying it honestly, not sarcastically. She began to pack her own school books up, when she noticed a figure standing in the corner. “Oh, hey Cadence, isn't a bit late for you to be up?” She couldn't help but ask of the person, who shrugged in response. “Come on, I'll walk you back to your dormitories.” The two began their way through the winding hallways of Hogwarts.

“Hey, Tessa.” Cadence suddenly asked, and Tessa stopped, curious. “I've been meaning to ask you this for ages, well not ages, ever since I heard. Do you really love Orion?”

“Cad-” Tessa stopped in shock. “I, it's to soon to tell Cadence honey.”

“But I thought people said they would know when they're in love.” Cadence raised her eyebrows suspicously. “At least that's the way in fairy tales.”

Tessa couldn't help but chuckle softly. “Cadence, it's hardly ever been that way out of fairy tales, now come on, we're at your common room, and I should be heading back to mine.

“Bye Tessa, sleep well.” Cadence stood on her tippy-toes and kissed the head girl on her cheek, gave her a brief smile then quietly said the password to the Slytherin common room before entering.

A small smile found it's way to Tessa's face and she turned around and made her way to the Head's rooms, she had arrived outside the door at the same time as Orion had. “Gobble.” Tessa said to the portrait before turning to face Orion. “Hey, Orion.” Her smile had already faded away by the time she had actually arrived at the quarters.

“Tess, you know everything will be okay, Lucius, Bellatrix, Michael and Christopher are all locked up in azkaban, no one else is going to come after you. And I'll always be here for you.” Orion said calmly, pulling Tessa into a hug.

“No you won't, we'll both move on, I'll date a different guy, you'll date a different girl.” Tessa shuddered inwardly at the thought, and tears were finding their way to her eyes.

“So this is just a relationship to pass the time to you?” Orion's voice had become cold and Tessa winced, she shook her head, immediately.

“I didn't mean it that way.” She mumbled hurriedly. “That's just the way the world is Orion.” His face had softened, hearing these words.

“It doesn't have to be that way for us Tess, we can make our own destiny different then everybody elses.” Orion whispered, then kissed Tessa, who immediately kissed him back with just as much passion. The broke away at the sound of a little squeal.

Tessa whirled around, knowing that sound. “Carla! What in the world are you doing here?” She demanded angrily, her sister had just interrupted an extremely nice moment.

“I, you, Orion, I.” Carla blurted out in surprise. “I thought you were joking when you said you loved Orion.” She somehow managed to get the sentence out with jumbling the words together. “I didn't think you were, actually dating.”

“Carla, I really don't want to go through this with you.” Tessa sighed, and turned to rest her head on Orion's shoulder.

“I'm telling mum.” Carla snapped, then left them there.

“You told her you loved me?” Orion raised his eyebrows at Tessa, who blushed.

“We were at the hospital, and I needed to get out, I knew what Bellatrix could do, I couldn't leave you. And I told Carla I loved you.” Tessa murmured, still faintly red. “And I meant it.” She added, not wanting to make things worse.

“I love you too Tessa.” He smiled, and she smiled back.

*** One year later

“You are both to young!” My mum rapped out immediately, but my face didn't fall, not even for a second.

“Mum, I've been an adult for over a year in the wizarding world.” I sighed, hoping she would attempt to understand me.

“But, your only eighteen here in our world, your only a child, what do you think my friends would say?” She countered, not wanting to let me grow up, as usual.

“Mum, please.” I pleaded and she shook her head angrily.

“I don't like this wizarding stuff at all, and you know that, I want you to marry a kid like you, not some gallavanting wizard, your not allowed to speak to him.” She commanded, then walked out, I stared after her in shock.

She really hated wizards and witches, as I drew a long sigh, Carla plopped down next to me. “I heard what she said Tessa, and you know I disagree with her, if she'd give Orion a chance, she'd surely say yes. You two are so cute together.”

“Don't remind me Carla.” I muttered, drawing my knee's up to my chest and wrapping my sweater and arms around my legs. “Why does she have to hate magic so much?”

“You two could always elope.” Carla then suggested airily, and I nearly fell over even though I was sitting, did my sister, just tell me that Orion and I could elope?

“No, I'm not going to elope.” I finally said, and Carla rolled her eyes at me. “Mum said no, I don't want to hurt her.”

“Tessa, you just said that you'd rather give up all chances of you getting a happily ever after and a bunch of cute little Malfoy midgets?” It was Carla's turn to stare at me in shock.

“Family comes first.” I murmured softly, tears coming to my eyes. “Family always comes first.”

“T, I'm talking to mum.” Carla said, she pushed herself up and stormed out of the room before I could stop her, I groaned and returned to my room, not wanting to hear them talk.

I didn't hear anything for a few minutes and next thing I knew, Carla was shouting, I ran downstairs, what was going on now?

“YOU ARE DEPRIVING HER FROM LIVING HER LIFE!” Carla screamed, neither her or mum noticed me enter the kitchen. “Your depriving her from her happiness, she loves Orion, and Orion loves her, why can't you let them get married?” Carla continued to shout. “And because your family, and you've drilled it into her brain her whole life that family comes first, she won't listen to me when I suggested her to elope with Orion, your destroying her.”

“Carla!” I hissed angrily, what was she trying to do, I ran up and clamped my hand over Carla's mouth. “Shut up, it's worthless, nothing you say will change mum's mind.”

“Why is Carla shouting at your mother?” My dad asked, entering the kitchen, having arrived home from work.

“It's nothing, really, she's just flipping out like she does occasionly.” I said quickly, but Carla pushed my hand away from her mouth.

“Mum said no to Tessa and Orion getting married because she hate's magic.” She churned out immediately.

“Well, at least I know your mother's take on all of this.” Dad muttered.

“What do you mean George?” My mother turned to face him, crossing her arms.

“A certain young man showed up during my lunch break and asked if he could have the hand of my eldest daughter. I told him that he had my full permission.” Dad responded, and I paled.

“You didn't bother asking MY opinion on this?” My mother nearly shrieked.

“Honey, I already knew it, besides, he's fun to play golf with.” I was totally confused right now.

“Dad, who are you talking about?” I had to ask.

“Orion Malfoy obviously, who else?” My dad played golf with Orion, what else did I not know?

Next thing I knew I was squishing my dad in a hug. “Now I've got to get your mum to agree, Tessa.” He whispered into my ear, and I smiled, not jealous of that job at all.

“Good luck daddy, and thank you a million.” I grinned at him, then went and apparated to Malfoy Manor.

“Tessa, hello, he's in his room.” Astoria smiled at me, somehow I had won the heart of Orion's mum, Draco still didn't really like me though. Smiling at her I made my way to his bedroom and knocked.

“Come in.” She heard, and then pushed the door open after turning the knob, Orion was laying on his bed with a bunch of papers infront of him. “Hey, Tess!”

“You actually asked my dad if you could marry me?” Tessa said, getting straight to the point. “You said you'd never, ever do that.”

“I did not!” Orion protested, and Tessa raised her eyebrows. “Okay, maybe I did, but I had to, you know, it wouldn't have been nice if I didn't.”

“I'm a little worried.” Tessa muttered as she walked over to him and placed a hand on his forehead.

“Um, Tess?” Orion asked, confused.

“A Malfoy is worried about not being nice, are you sure your not an imposter?” Tessa responded, an Orion rolled his eyes at her.

“Tess, you know what I mean.” Orion laughed, and Tessa giggled a little bit, she sat down on the bed next to him, still smiling widely. “Oh, I just remembered something.”

“Remembered what something?” Tessa couldn't help but question, but Orion didn't answer at first.

“Close your eyes.” Tessa could tell that he was smirking even though she had just shut them.

“Now what?” She asked irritibly, not liking the total darkness.

“Will you marry me?”

“I WILL KILL YOU!” Tessa shrieked, she had opened her eyes when he finished, and found Orion kneeling infront of her with a ring. “You insufferable prat!”

“I knew you'd say that.” Orion chuckled, getting up and slipping the ring on her finger, as he resumed his seat next to her, the door flung open revealing an angry Draco and a worried Astoria.

“We heard shrieking, what happened?” Astoria glanced at the two of them, now bemused.

“I proposed.” Orion did his best not to laugh, and Tessa hit him, hard.

“Oh, congratulations! But why the shrieking?” Astoria was still slightly confused.

“Um, she told me she didn't want me to propose, on my knee.” Orion was fighting back laughter even more now, and Tessa hit him harder.

“Right.” Draco turned around and left.

“Congratulations again.” Astoria said, smiling at the two of them. “Let me go talk to your father Orion, he'll come around eventually.”

“If he doesn't can I hit him?” Tessa whispered to Orion who glared at her.

“Be my guest, that is if there's anything left of him after I'm finished.” Orion smirked, he stood up then helped Tessa up as well. “Hey, you don't loathe anyone anymore, does that mean this the end of Tessa's loathing?”

“Darling, I'll always loathe people.” Tessa smiled wryly, planted a faint kiss on his lips then spoke again. “There will always be a Tessa's loathing.”
