Riddle-Lestrange

Chapter 41

Trixie's POV
"Step up! Step up! We've got Fainting Fancies! And just in time for school; Puking Pastilles!" The twins announced making me smile,

"Love potions?" Hermione said in disbelief to Ginny and myself, I nodded

"Hello ladies" The twins said as they made their way over to us, I smiled at them both as Fred wrapped an arm around my waist,

"Love potions, eh?" Fred asked,

"Yeah, they really do work" George said,

"Thanks to me" I say, they shrugged so I acted hurt, "You're taking credit for my hard work" I say folding my arms, they both smiled at me,

"We're grateful that you created them" Fred said pecking my cheek,

"The way we hear it, sis, you're doing just fine on your own" George said.

"Meaning?" Ginny asked,

"Aren't you currently dating Dean Thomas?" Fred asked, she scoffed

"None of your business" She said before leaving,

"Got customers to serve darling. Have a good term, see you at Christmas" Fred said as George walked away, I nodded and kissed him

"Be careful" I smiled,

"Always am. I love you" He said kissing me again,

"I love you too" I say before he walked away, I went up to Hermione, Harry and Ron "Let's go" I say, they all nodded and we walked out of the store,

"How are they doing it? Half of the alley's closed down" Hermione asked,

"Fred reckons people need a laugh these days" Ron answered,

"I reckon he's right" Harry said, I nodded before noticing Draco with his mother, sympathy filled my heart due to the situation with Uncle Lucius, things maybe rocky between Draco and myself but he's still family.

"I'll catch up with you" I say as I made my way over to the two of them, "Draco" I say as I approached them, he turned to face me

"Trixie" He said,

"How are you feeling? About your Dad in Azkaban" I asked, he shrugged

"I'll survive" He answered, I nodded before Narcissa cleared her throat, "Oh, Mother this is Trixie. Trixie, this is my mother, your-"

"Aunt Narcissa" I finished off, he nodded "It's good to finally meet you" I say,

"You look so much like her" She commented, I smiled

"How are you dealing with the Azkaban situation?" I asked,

"I'm managing" She said, I nodded

"Well, I'll leave you to your business. I'll see you at school, Draco. It's was great to meet you Aunt Narcissa" I say before joining Hermione, Harry and Ron outside Ollivander's

"Harry? Is it me, or do Draco and Mummy look like two people who don't want to be followed?" Ron questioned, I hummed turning to face Ron as he looked out of the window to see Aunt Narcissa and Draco looking suspicious, we stalked them to Borgin and Burke,

"We need to see what's going on in that room?" Harry whispered, I mentioned a roof where we would be able to see with ease.

We climbed on to it to find Draco doing something with a cupboard,

"What's he doing?" Ron asked, I shrugged as Hermione got a little further up before I pulled her back down as Greyback came towards the window, looked around then closed the curtains.

"Good evening to you all. First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff; Horace Slughorn. Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say has agreed to resume his old post as Potions Master. Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts will be taken by Professor Snape" Dumbledore announced,

"Snape?" Multiple students whispers were heard throughout the hall,

"Now, as you know each and everyone of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once, there was a young man, who like you sat in this very hall, walked this castle's corridors. Slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle" Dumbledore spoke, some heads at the Slytherin table turned to me with a small smirk on their faces, as did some on other houses tables but they were whispering, "Today, of course he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why, as I stand look out upon you all tonight, I'm reminded of a sobering fact. Everyday, every hours, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate these castle's walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you. Just something to think about. Now, off to bed, pip-pip" Dumbledore finished off,

"Well that was cheerful" I commented as I rose from my seat and headed towards the Slytherin common room.
