Opposite Ends (Draco Malfoy)

9

Eva was tired and did not want to wake up for school, but she did so anyway because she had no choice. She walked by herself towards the Great Hall for breakfast. She noticed that everyone's eyes were on her once she had entered the giant room.

There was a pit at the bottom of her stomach, which she thought was from anxiety, so, she tried to push it away by ignoring it as her pace grew quicker while she made her way towards the Slytherin table. "Maybe I'm just crazy." She thought to herself as she got closer to the table only to see the boys glaring at her as well. She sat down next to Mattheo, who had gained bits of her trust.

She noticed the Daily Prophet in his hand, "You should probably take a look at this." He said, placing the paper in front of her.

She picked it up and read the headline, immediately furrowing her brows.

POTTER FROM HELL

It was recently discovered that Evangeline Lily Potter, who we had all assumed had been killed by he-who-must-not-be-named, had actually been alive and "hiding" all along.
Harry's twin sister would undoubtedly be placed in Gryffindor, which is the same as the rest of the Potter family. She was, to a surprise, sorted into Slytherin. Some are concerned, some wonder what happened. There are rumors that the girl isn't Evangeline, and she is, as scary as it is, an inferi. But no one knows who would dare create such a monstrosity. The entire situation is questionable and peculiar.
"She's like an energy vampire. Everyone is immensely attracted to her, especially the lads. I'd believe it if someone said she was an actual vampire. I mean, look at how pale she is. There's no way she's human. At first I thought she might've been a veela, but there's something very sinister about that girl."
-Pansy Parkinson-Slytherin
Even Harry Potter himself has claimed to be scared of his own sister. How harder will this poor boy's life get until he breaks?
Questions and rumors are flying everywhere about how the girl came back from the dead. It is up to me, to interview students and dig deep into this case, so that I can make sure to do my best to protect everyone from the Vampire Potter.
-Rita Skeeter

"What Rubbish?!" She exclaimed. She looked up at Draco, then at Mattheo, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle. They shared concerned expressions on their faces, "You guys don't believe this, do you? You all seriously think I came back from the dead?" She mocked with a smile on her face, hoping to ease the awkward tension lingering in the air, but that smile was quickly wiped off her face when she saw them exchanging worried glances with one another. "Or that I'm an inferi...?"

She sighed, astonished at to what people thought of her. She looked at Draco, for some reason his opinion mattered most to her. "It's not true." He looked up at her, "It can't be...Rita Skeeter is full of...rubbish."

"That's not what you said when she said all that stuff about Harry Potter." Retorted Blaise.

"Shut up, Blaise." Draco quickly spat back at him.

Eva rolled her eyes and swiftly grabbed the Daily Prophet and made her way over to the Gryffindor table. She ignored all the stares and whispers.

"Is that her?"

"That's the Vampire Potter!"

"You think she's a veela?"

"It's so peculiar how she just came out of nowhere."

She slammed the paper in front of her brother, "You're scared of your own sister? We grew up together, asshole."

Harry looked up at her, a little frightened, "Eva, I didn't say that."

"Then why does that paper say you did?!" She pointed at the Daily Prophet.

"If you knew Rita Skeeter, you'd know she's full of it. She's written so many false articles about me t-"

"Who's fault is it that I don't know her?!" She cut him off. "Seriously! Tell me who's! Because you keep acting like it isn't yours!"

Harry said nothing in response to her. Anger kept boiling inside of her. She could no longer form words. She wanted to hit something. Maybe scream. This is too much. Tears were forming in her eyes. All she did was storm off, taking the Daily Prophet with her.

Hot tears streamed down her face as she quickly strolled through the corridors, heading to the abandoned girl's bathroom on the second floor. She hated how she cried whenever she got really angry.
