Double Trouble

chapter 7

Draco's POV:
I think about the young Potter girl I met today. I can't believe I didn't realize that she was a Potter at first, they look almost exactly alike. They even act alike. I am sitting in my room by the large floor length window. I have learned sign language so I can speak to Lexi on my own. That is when I realize I want to see her again. She would be staying with her brother and he was moved to my uncles house. I hurry downstairs and see my mum sitting in the library watching out the window. "Mum may I go to uncle Sirius's house to see my friends and cousins today?" I ask as I run into the room. She looks up at me and smiles before nodding. "I would like to come with you so I can catch up with my cousin who I actually like." She says as she stands up.

I nod and we floo to Number 12 Grimauld Place. When we step out of the fireplace uncle Sirius is staring at us like we are crazy. "Hey kids come to the sitting room on the third floor!" He yells behind him. In about a minute all the people who are living in that house are in the one big room. "Malfoy?" Grayson asks in confusion. "What are you doing here?" Sarah asks standing next to Lexi and Becca. "Yes Draco what are you doing her in this house full of blood traitors?" My father asks as he steps through the fireplace. Then three other people appear. "Leave this house Lucius. You aren't welcome here." My uncle Regulus says standing next to his brother who looks amazed.

"Cissy I know it is none of my business why you are here but-" my aunt Andromeda starts but stops her voice faltering. "Andy what is it? What's the matter?" Mum asks worried for her older sister. "Uncle Orion. He is alive. He is looking for all of us." She gasps out. "What? My father is alive? No that can't be possible!" Sirius, Regulus, and aunt Athena say together. Lexi walks over to me and pokes my shoulder. I look over at her and she sighns 'who are they?' "They are aunts and uncles. The blond man is my father. And the one they are talking about is my sadistic grandfather." I explain making aunt Athena along with her siblings laugh. "Well Draco who is your friend?" Uncle Regulus asks smirking at me. I blush and mumble her name. "Can you please repeat that. I didn't hear you." Aunt Athena says smiling at Lexi. I take a deep breath and nod ignoring my father. "Her name is Alexandra Potter. She likes to be called Lexi and was abused until she was mute." I explain quietly as I smile at Lexi. She grins back at me and uncle Regulus looks politely confused before grinning at me. "Well Lexi it is very nice to meet you." He says as he extends a hand to her. She grins and mouths something at him as she shakes his hand. "She says it is great to meet you as well Mr. Black." Harry translates for her.

Then dumbledor walks into the room. "What is this place? A train station?" Sirius asks chuckling. "Well Mr. Black I have brought something for Lexi." He says as he holds out a potion. "This will allow you to speak again but you have to take some each morning after you wake up." She looks at dumbledor and her eyes grow wide. He hands it to her and she takes a small sip. Her face screws up and many scars appear on her arms. She looks at them then glares at dumbledor. "You could have told me the scars would come back." She says her voice quiet but pretty. She gasps and looks at her brother who looks like Christmas came early. "Yay I can speak!" She exclaims jumping up and down. "Well you will have to take a full bottle of this every week. So take small sips and you will experience days where your voice will dissapear but don't worry. Your body will have to get used to the feeling of speaking again." Dumbles explains as she hugs her brother then her friend's including me.

Lexi's POV:
I am smiling at everyone and almost everyone is grinning broadly back at me. The only one who isnt is Mr. Lucius Malfoy. He is glaring at me and every other adult steps in between us. Dumbles leaves and I sit on the blood red sofa. "You insolent little bitch! You have made my son a blood traitor! What the hell is wrong with you?" He shouts at me. "Well Malfoy if anyone is a blood traitor it is you. You think you are so high and mighty since you have pure blood but no one who is worth anything now days gives a living shit. Being born into a pure blood family almost always guarentees you being born a wizard. Half bloods have more of a gamble so they are more special. But if you are a muggleborn you area as special as you can get because you are the first generation witch or wizard in that family. So Malfoy face it you are nothing special by being a pure blood." I say innocently.

He steps forward and slaps me across the face propelling me across the room. I hit the wall and feel blood running down my face. "LEXI!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Draco along with everyone else but Malfoy yells together. Regulus and Athena run over to me and help me up as they fix my cut along with any that opened. I stand and glared at Malfoy who is smirking until then. He cowers away from my furry and rage. "Get. Out. NOW!" I hiss venomously at him. He scrambles back but doesn't leave. I lock my eyes with his and he stiffens as he falls to his knees. I am using my mental and wandless magic but I don't know how to control it. His breathing comes in rapid pants and he tries to fight away the invisible ropes that have wrapped around his neck and are getting tighter.

I look down with extreme difficulty and he starts gasping for air. Everyone is watching me fear evident in their eyes as Malfoy aparates away. I then feel my self sway and blackness takes over as I fall.
