The Twin and Harry Potter

Forbidden Forest

"These students were out of bed, telling outrageous lies." McGonagall says sternly, handing them off to the head of their house, before she stomps out.

"It's not a lie, Professor Snape." Vanessa says. "My brother has a dragon and he's sending it off with some people, probably as we speak."

"She's telling the truth." Draco backs her up. It's clear by the look on Professor Snape's face that he believes them.

"Potter, arrogant like his father, thinking rules don't apply to him." Snape pulls out his wand. A beautiful white doe appears from the end of his wand. Looking at it makes Vanessa calm and happy. The doe prances from the room.

"Filch will check the tower," Snape says to them. "And I give Slytherin ten points for you two alerting me of this." He says looking between the two. "Now off to bed, I don't want to see you two out again."

"Yes, Professor, thank you." Vanessa nods, pulling Draco out with her. Though they were dismissed without a raised voice, she still feels on edge. As if any moment Professor Snape will return and start screaming about waking him at 'such an ungodly hour!"

"Phew, I thought we were dead for sure." Draco sighs. Vanessa punches him in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?"

"We have detention now, thanks to you!" Vanessa snaps. "You should have listened to me, I told you it wasn't a great idea, we should have just told a teacher an let them deal with it, but no, we have to do it your way." She fumes.

"I honestly didn't think we would get caught, don't be hitting me." He grumbles. Once in the common room, Vanessa shoots another glare towards Draco before heading back to bed.

She sleep snatches her away as soon as her head hits the pillow. Surprising giving how wired she felt moments ago.

She opens her eyes again, but it is still pitch black. The dark sends terror through her. The sound of hooves reaches her ears, but they fade away. Slowly, silvery drops of some liquid appear on the ground. She follows the trail. Suddenly, out of the darkness a hooded figure appears. Fear consumes her as the figure moves forward. A voice cries out, it sounds like Harry.

Vanessa bolts awake. Her heart pounds quickly in her chest. The memory of the dream starts to fade away. There is no way for her to go back to sleep. The sun is starting to rise as it filters into the room through the water.

She quickly changes into her robes for the day and goes out to the common room. It's empty, lit by the green fires and lanterns.

Vanessa sits on a couch near one of the fires. The dream leaves her feeling chilled, the first doesn't seem to break through it.

"Vanessa," Draco's voice calls out. She looks up to see him walking up to her.

"You're not still angry with me are you?" He gives her a half smile.

"I might be," she hides her smile.

"I am sorry, honest." He says sincerely, sitting on the couch beside her.

"I accept your apology." She sighs.

At breakfast, the whole school is shocked to find that Gryffindor has lost 150 points.

"Looks like Potter got caught after all." Draco grins at her. As if that fact makes up for the fact that they also were caught and given detention.

"Slytherin is back in the lead!" Edward exclaims as he plops down at the table, across from Vanessa.

"We are going to win again!" Victoria grins, taking the seat next to Edward, across from Draco. The day passes and the whole school knows that Harry, Hermione, and Neville lost all those points for Gryffindor.
