Reality Bites Harry Potter

~Draco and Harry, sitting in a Tree~

Despite the party being crashed by a bunch of people, it was pretty fun. I thought the next day as I headed down to the Great Hall. Pansy had joined us and we were just talking about random stuff until she gasped, as if she remembered something. "What?" I asked curiously. She grinned and pulled me off to the side. I told Theo and Blaise I'd see them later. They were confused but went with it.

"Did you see the way Harry and Draco were interacting with each other last night?" She asked giddily. I frowned.

"No, I was a bit preoccupied with the party being crashed." I said shrugging.

"Oh, they were definitely eyeing each other." She said excitedly. "I mean, they wore costumes that coincided with each other."

"Oh? Now that I think about it, I do remember them dressing up as Beast Boy and Aquaman from Teen Titans." I said thoughtfully.

"Yeah and I overheard them talking about being friends." She said grinning.

"Good," I said smirking.

"Those two totally have to get together!"

"You think so too?" I asked shocked. She nodded.

"Yeah, wait, who else thinks so?" She asked curiously.

"Shay," I said grinning. Pansy giggled.

"This is going to be so interesting." She said as we continued to the Great Hall.

"I know, I can't wait!" I said excitedly.

"Wait for what?" Draco said as we walked near him. He was actually genuinely curious. I shook my head.

"It's nothing," I said grinning. "So what are you up to today since it's Saturday?" I figured I'd might as well start being friends with him if Shay and I were going to get him and Harry together.

"I don't really have anything planned..." He said a bit cautiously.

"You should hang out with Blaise, Theo, Pansy, and I today!" I suggested. "We don't really have anything planned either. But I'm sure we can find something to do."

"Okay," He said a bit hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" I asked him curiously.

"I don't think Nott or Zabini want anything to do with me." He said honestly. I frowned.

"Okay, how about I go talk to them first." I suggested. He nodded.

"That works." He said sighing. I smiled as we came to a stop at the doorway to the Great Hall.

"Okay! You two wait here a second!" I said before going to find Theo and Blaise. They were stuffing their faces as per usual. "Guys, what would you say if I told you that Draco is hanging out with us today?" The two made a face.

"Really?" Blaise asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, why would he want to hang out with us?" Theo asked looking unsure. I rolled my eyes and told them that Pansy overheard Draco and Harry saying they were going to be friends.

"What's that have to do with us?" Blaise grumbled. I sighed.

"I'm thinking that if we become friends with him, he won't be so... how he usually is towards others." I said trying to think of a good way to describe him.

"You mean him being a git?" Theo asked, looking a bit amused.

"Yes, now will you two be okay with him hanging out with us or not?" I asked rolling my eyes at them.

"Yeah, it's fine." Blaise said reluctantly.

"You two better be nice." I told them frowning.

"We will, don't worry." Theo promised, smiling. I knew I could count on him. I smiled back.

"Thank you for doing this." I told them before going back over to Pansy and Draco. "Come on, it's okay now."

"Are you sure?" Draco asked uncertainly.

"Yes," I said confidently. Pansy smiled and the three of us made our way back over to Blaise and Theo. Later on that day, I was walking with the others to the Slytherin common room because we wanted to work on some homework from Potions. It was then that I saw a 7th year Gryffindor push Shay down to the floor. I got super pissed and made my way over to the 7th year. Hannah and Susan were helping Shay up. "Did you just push my sister?" I was full on glaring at him. He just smirked.

"So what if I did?" I growled at him and the next thing I know, I've punched him in the stomach and I'm flipping him over on his back. I have no idea where that came from, but it just felt natural to me. The 7th year scrambled to his feet and ran away.

"Coward," I said glowering in his direction. I sighed and turned to Shay. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, but where in the absolute hell did that come from?" She asked me wide-eyed. I shrugged.

"I'm not exactly sure myself, but it just felt right." I said frowning. She sighed.

"Well, at least we didn't get into any trouble." Shay muttered, rubbing her butt. It was probably sore from being pushed earlier.

"And now no one knows to mess with Shay." Hannah said grinning.

"What? I'm not going to just stand by and let someone bully my sister in front of me." I said shrugging. As I say this, Snape walks up to us. Oh crap, are we in trouble?

"Miss Harper, please come with me to my office," Snape said talking to me. Yep, I'm in trouble.

"Yes, sir," I said following him to his office. He didn't say anything at all even when we got into his office. He looked to be lost in thought before he started speaking again.

"I've observed you and your sister's behavior since the beginning of the school year." He started. Oh Merlin, he's going to lecture me. "It seems to me you two know more about this school and what's been going on than you're letting on." Huh? That's what he wanted to talk to me about? I guess it's perfect timing since I needed to talk to him anyways about Quirrell.

"Yes," I said nodding. "You're right." He looked astonished.

"Please explain."

"Well, Shay and I stayed with Professor McGonagall for a year before we came to Hogwarts. She found us in the middle of London. We were unconscious on the ground and she took us in. We don't remember how we got there or what we did before then. Um, we found these books in her library and they were about Hogwarts and so far the events that's happened line up with the books we found." I said trying to explain it in the best way possible. "I know it sounds really unbelievable, but it's true."

"So you knew the troll was going to be released into the school?" He asked curiously.

"Yes, and I know who did it too." I said a bit nervously.

"Was it Quirrell?" He asked bluntly. Wow, no beating around the bush with this one.

"Yes, sir. But, um, why do you believe me?" I asked curiously. He sighs.

"I'm not exactly sure myself but I have the feeling that you're not lying to me." He said frowning. "Do you have these books?"

"Yes, they're in my trunk." I said shrugging. "Would you like to see them?"

"Not right now." He said thoughtfully. "I also wanted to ask you about what you did to that student."

"Oh, well, I'm not exactly sure what happened myself. All I know is that student pushed my sister down and I got mad. And then the next thing I know I'm punching the guy and flipping him over on to his back." I said shrugging. "I think that might have something to do with mine and Shay's past. We don't exactly remember anything up until Professor McGonagall found us in London and took us in."

"I see." He said before sighing. "I'll let you go. Just don't hurt anymore students in the future. The other professors may not be as understanding." I nodded.

"Yes sir."

"You're dismissed." I nodded once again and left his office. That was weird. I thought as I went to go find Blaise, Theo, Pansy, and Draco.
