"Ah, another Malfoy," the hat sounded amused. "You are not what you seem, or what your family and peers see, are you? Your heart is double. A Malfoy in name, but your true lineage is hazy, which makes you quite tricky to place. You would do well in...
The rest of the year went by pretty quickly after that, nothing was heard about Sirius which was good. Harry received a new broom from a mysterious source, all that was left with it: a single feather from a Hippogriff.
Gaia and I were sat talking.
She'd agreed to host me for a couple of weeks, so I wrote to mother and father that I wouldn't be home. They allowed me to stay with her as she was a Slytherin.
This, of course, was I lie. Gaia agreed to be my cover story while I was off with my biological family. While I was still in the Hospital Wing, they asked if I wanted to travel with them. I wasn't going to say no.
The two weeks though, went by more quickly than I liked and I was staying at Amy and Rory's house. I'd said goodbye to River Song and The Doctor the day before.
Mother and father had written to me and said that if I wished to, I could stay with Gaia and her family for the entire summer. So, I did. I stayed with Amy and Rory.
Although I'm their granddaughter, in a way I became their second chance at being parents. River Song wouldn't be there all the time, which I quickly understood, as she had her adventures. Amy and Rory had a spare room which we decorated and it became mine.
One night I woke up after having a bad dream, and I'd cried out. Amy came straight in and she curled up on the bed with me, and she sang until I fell asleep. She stayed with me that night.

The Weasley's were at the Quidditch World Cup, according to the letter Fred had written to me. They wanted me to be there, but understood it was a tricky situation.
Amy and Rory wanted to see me off at the station, but I told them it would be too risky. I remind them of the pendant necklace which Amy had around her neck from the morning I'd sent it to them.
Rufus was sat on my lap as we were on our way to Hogwarts, I only move him off when I go out to get some sweets from the trolley. I was about to ask when a familiar face showed up next to me. Diggory! Ron had told me all about them meeting up with the Diggory's before they arrived at the World Cup.

Cedric smiles at me, his hair brushed back but sticking up at all different angles. "Hi," I say, playing with the sleeves of my shirt.
