She's A Fake ~ IV | d.m.

38. No Way

"Right, okay. Welcome to the Boarding House."

I motioned for them to follow me as I walked up the stairs and soon into the building.

"Scarlett Grindelwald! Is that you?"

I smirked and nodded as I was pulled into a quick hug, "Why, yes indeed it is. Hello, Miss Parkinson."

"Miss Parkinson?"

I turned around to meet three very confuzzled faces, "Right, guys this is Julie Parkinson, Pansy's aunt. She was born without magic, so she was outcasted, but she made a life for herself."

"Okay, pleasantries over. What can I help with?"

"I need two rooms and food."

"Done and done. Head right up, same as before."

I nodded and motioned for Granger and the boys to follow me, that's when I saw her.

"No way... P-Pansy?" I froze as the girl who was only a few feet away turned to me and froze just as I did.

I waved soundlessly as she smiled sheepishly.

"Hi, Scar."

"Umm, y- you guys go up without me, first rooms on either side."

The moment the Trio was out of my sight, I immediately pulled her into my arms as I cried tears of joy and shock all at once, "How? I- how, Pansy how?"

"Well, you see. I have a twin sister..."

"What?"

"Yeah, her name was Azalea Parkinson. I don't know what she did, but she had somehow switched us. When I 'died' in your arms, I ended up here, safe with my aunt, and Azalea died in your arms."

"You lost your sister?"

"I did. And as much as I'm glad I got to live, I would've rather she live. It took a long time to come to terms with what she did, but I owe her everything for my second chance at life," we had taken a seat at a table as she spoke.

"Why did you never come back?"

"Well no one really knew about Azalea, so it would be pretty hard to explain," she shrugged but then pulled me into another hug, "I really did want to come back, I really missed you and everyone else. By the way, how is everyone?"

I took a deep breath, "Well, Draco, he's one of them now, a Death Eater. He was given no choice. As for me, I have Riddle wrapped around my finger."

"Riddle as in Volde-"

"DON'T SAY IT!" I covered her mouth and then let my hands fall as she looked at me confused, "It's bamboozled in a way, you say it and he can locate you. Not really what we want."

"Oh, okay. Alright so, continue. What about Blaise...?"

I smiled softly before speaking, "He, well, he tried to move on. Tried a relationship with Daphne before just forgetting about it and rather he started focusing on studies. He still misses you."
