The Potter Twins

Chapter 6: The End of Term

After the third task, the school was quiet. Usually there is some big party to celebrate the winner, but Harry being the person he is said that both he and Cedric were the winners and didn't want the party. It didn't feel right. That night I snuck out to meet Draco again. He felt so bad about what had happened to Cedric and me and wanted to make sure I was okay. 

"Hey, love." he said and hugged me tight. "Are you okay?" I nodded and pushed past him to sit down. "No, you're not. You can talk to me, you know." He sat down next to and waited. 

I didn't want to cry in front of him, in front of anyone, but I could hold back anymore. "I couldn't help him. He'd helped me with work and he was my friend and I couldn't help him." 

He sighed and wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry. But you saved your brother, right?" I nodded. "You can't save everyone every time, love." 

"I saw my parents too." 

He was shocked. "What?"

"Our spells kinda connected and they just appeared beside us. Cedric too. I keep picturing their faces." He tightened his grip. We just sat there for a while, until I thought of something. "Am I gonna hear from you over the summer? Your father doesn't monitor your letters are anything, right?" 

That he laughed at. "No, he doesn't. I think we can work something out." He kissed my forehead. "Your staying with your godfather, right?"

"I believe so, I hope so. From what Harry has said, our Aunt and Uncle aren't the best people." 

"Well I will give you my address and you can send me owls as often as you want." That made me smile, he can be a jerk but he really is a sweet guy. 

The Beauxbatons and Drumstrung students left in the afternoon on the day the Hogwarts kids were leaving. Everyone gathered in the courtyard to say goodbye to all the new friends they had made. Viktor Krum gave Hermione his address for her to write to him and Ginny and I couldn't stop teasing her about it.

She looked over my shoulder, at one point, and whispered to me. "The Snake wants your attention." I laughed at her, her and her damn nickname for Draco. I turned around and made my way over to the door he'd just got in. When I stepped inside, closed the door and turned around to speak, he kissed me. It wasn't the same gentle, shy kiss he gave me the night of the Yule Ball. It was hard, passionate. 

"What was that for?" I said, breathlessly. 

"Just because." He gave me his stupid smug smile and kissed me again. "Here." He handed me a piece of paper. I opened it to see his address on it. "Write as much as you want. As long as you address it to me, the owl will bring it right to my window." I don't understand the hold this guy had on my heart, but I loved having him apart of my life now. A thought popped into my head just than, as I looked into his eyes. Could I possible love him? I mean, we'd only met about 9 months ago, but that is kinda how I felt. Maybe, just maybe I loved him. I wasn't going to say anything yet. 

"Thank you." I smiled at him and slipped the note into my pocket. "Will I see you before you leave that platform?" 

He sighed. '"Probably not. My mother usually is there to pick me up as the train pulls in." 

"Let's hope my godfather is." I said and laughed. 

He kissed me again. "I'm gonna miss you, Furball." 

I laughed. "You know, I still can't think of a nickname for you. Hermione calls you 'The Snake' whenever we talk around the boys." He laughed at that. 

"No, I like it. A little obvious but I like it." 

"That's what I told her!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder. "I'm gonna miss you." 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the train, Harry and Ron argued over some Quidditch players, I had no interest in. Hermione and I talked about school work, because I was now officially in their year. As the train pulled into King's Cross  Station, Mr. Weasley was there to pick up his kids as well as Harry and me. Hermione's parents, because they were Muggles, had to stay on the other side of the platform so we all went out into King's Cross. 

Mr. Weasley drove me to my godfather's after dropping off Harry with his family. He was upset that I wasn't going to be living with him over the summer but he knew Petunia and Vernon wouldn't allow it. "Go on in. Sirius is in there waiting for you." 

I carried my trunk, cat cage and knapsack into the house. "Hello?" I called into the quiet house. "Sirius?" 

A man poked his head over the rail on maybe the third floor. "Haley! I'll be right down!" I waited in the foyer as I hear his footsteps on the stairs. He was smiling and looked very happy to see me. He hugged me and sighed in relief. "I was so happy to hear Harry found you. We've missed you so much. Now come in and I'll show you around." He took my stuff and gave me a tour. When we were on the third floor, he pushed open a door. "This was my aunt's room when she lived here. It's now yours."

"Thank you, Sirius. For taking me in." 

"I promised your parents. You look just like Lily did at your age."

"How long did you know them?" 

He gave a soft smile. "All my time at Hogwarts up until they passed." He put his hands on my shoulders. "They loved you, you know. So much." I smiled and nodded, I knew that. "Now unpack, Kreacher will make us dinner and I'll tell you stories about your parents." He left me then. I sat down on the bed and unpacked my clothes. I thought about everything I'd done and been through at Hogwarts. 

I'd found my twin brother, made some great friends and met my boyfriend. 

I fought the Dark Lord with my twin and somewhat won. I moved in with my Godfather and never have to share a room again. 

My life as a witch and as a Potter may not be normal, but it was definitely good.  

That ends Book 1: Goblet of Fire! I know its only 6 chapter but like fewer but long chapter instead of short but a lot of chapters. Tomorrow, I'll start Book 2: Order of the Phoenix. Will Draco and Haley get caught? Will they last? (I hope so! I love them! (wink wink (:)) What will Harry and Ron say if and when they find out? Continue reading to find out!
