Order of the Sphinx... Why should HP get to have all the fun?

Chapter 26: Yes Mr Malfoy

Disclaimer: Dear J.K Rowling,

I would formally like to apologize for playing in your sand pit with your characters.

I'm really sorry, they're just so fun!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm not making any money from this story; all I get is a sick and twisted sort of enjoyment filling in and creating a story which makes yours plausible.

Please don't sue me, I don't have any money or items of value for you to claim.

Sincerely Dracula's Sidekick

A/N (BREIF): Sorry guys, this chapter is really long.

I was going to split it up into two chapters but couldn't figure out where to make the split.

Chapter 26: Yes Mr Malfoy

Dear Alice,

I haven’t heard from you in a while, but it may be because the owl the headmaster is lending me tends to have an anxiety attack whenever he comes in close contact with muggles, so the bloody bird aborts ship, drops whatever he’s holding and doesn’t come back for a few days.

Idiot.

So a lot of my letters may have been lost in correspondence. Therefore, this time, I am using the Phoenix. Believe it or not, I still don’t know his name.

I miss home and you terribly and I constantly think of you. Often times I hear your voice in my head, making comments on what people are saying and I often laugh aloud then get strange looks off the people there, wondering what the hell I’m laughing at. I keep waking up, expecting to see the common room and everyone there, or my room at home on the farm. It’s still a shock to me to wake up in AV’s accommodation.

I am not sure if I’ve mentioned it to you in a previous letter- I am sure I have, but maybe you didn’t get those ones- but I have found out so much more about the Tribe in the one and a half months school’s been out. There’s so much to tell you, and I recon if I wrote it all down in this letter you would get bored halfway through and stop reading, then probably lose the letter altogether. Besides, I want to see your face when I tell you some of the things I’ve learnt, because your expressions are bound to be amusing.

But I need to tell someone this before I burst.

You remember- wait, you probably won’t. You’ve got a terrible memory for names.

My wand, had a previous owner, the mysterious Alina Varias who I tried- in vein- to research after I found out she owned my wand, but I was never able to find anything on her. I came across a box a couple of weeks ago containing many things that used to belong to Alina Varias. It was incredible! I found a portrait of her and by god do we look alike. It’s quite scary actually.

I also found her journal, which contained the last entry two days before her death. I won’t waste time writing her life story, but I need to tell you that she was a lot like me personality wise as well.

Alexandru (AV, sweetie) seems convinced that this means that I’ll become a great Dragon Keeper; a great ruler. I think it’s just plain weird.

I would let you read the journal, but it’s written completely in Romanian. I struggled to understand it myself, and I was taught to speak and write the language when I was 4.
