Harry's Twin - Book One // Complete // Editing

I Will Be Telling Father

'Hello, Lydia.'

'What do you want Harry?'

I'd just gotten down the stairs to the common room; I thought it was empty. How did Harry know I was sneaking out again? Hermione walks down the stairs. 'What's going on?' she asks sleepily.

'What I want is for you to tell me where you're going. And who you're meeting.'

'If you must know I'm meeting a friend.' I bet he already knows. 'And it doesn't matter where I'm going.'

'It does matter.'

'Why?!'

'Because I'm your brother! I'm meant to look out for you. But all you want to do is hang out with that stupid Malfoy kid.'

'Well.. well, uh.'

'Well what?'

'I don't know. I'm sorry, Harry come if you want.'

'Thank you.'

I roll my eyes and pull him up. 'Let's go!'

'Wait. If he's going, I'm coming, too.' Hermione says. 'Sorry,' she mouths at me.

'Okay,' I nod. Harry just grunts- let's just say he doesn't really like Hermione.

We silently run down the stairs. We're stopping in front of the door when we hear Filch coming. I swear we only just get out the door before he comes. Harry points out Draco walking ahead. I turn to Harry and Hermione, giggling, and do the 'ssh' motion with my fingers.

I run silently but quickly up to Draco. I jump onto his back and whisper-shout 'Boo!'. I get off his back and he turns around and goes to put his arms around me- to hug me hello, I think- when he sees Harry and Hermione.

'What are they doing?' He looks at me. 'Want me to get rid of them?'

'No. No, Harry was annoyed because I kept sneaking out. Hermione just wanted to come, probably to stop Harry from being too annoying. And apparently I seem to be spending a lot of time with you.'

'You are.' He laughs.

They walk over. 'What's the joke?' Harry asks.

'Nothing. Anyways, why'd you want to meet me, Draco?'

'I was goi-... I don't know, just wanted to hang out.'

Harry sits down and looks across the black lake. Hermione stands a little way off. Draco leans into me. 'I was going to ask you something, but I can't with Potter and Granger, over there.'

'Ask anyway?'

'No.'

'Ugh.'

We sit down next to Harry and Hermione walks over, too. She sits down and we start talking about all the crazy things that've happened since starting Hogwarts.

'10 to one.' Smiles Draco.

'Ah, Malfoy the time-keeper,' I laugh. 'You've gotten very good.'

We start laughing and Harry looks at us weird.

'Had to be there,' I laugh. Hermione gives me a knowing look.

'Let's go now,' Harry sighs.

'If you don't mind, I'd like to walk you guys back to the common room,' Draco looks at me.

'Sure!' I smile. 'No,' Harry frowns, at the same time. Hermione just nods, because she knows it's what I would want.

I grab Draco's arm and I lead him towards the castle. 'Hurry, Harry. Come on, Hermione!'
