Harry's sister

Chapter Thirty-one

Small tears of frustration streamed from my eyes as I stomped down the hall. Why did Draco have to be such an ass. I blushed as I realized I had admitted to loving the Weasley's. Though I quickly shook off the embarrassment as I comforted myself with the thought that at least I hadn't admitted it in front of ron.

I wiped the tears from my eyes quickly and took a deep breath as I felt Levi nudge my cheek with his head in comfort. A small smile graced my lips as Levi lifted his head higher and said "humans are so complicated. Are you ok? I could bite him if you wish." i chuckled and said "I'm fine levi, that's a tempting offer but no thank you. I can't have a death on your scales." i kissed his head gently and said "thank you for staying with me. Even if you don't really have a choice." he slipped back into the sleeping bag and said "if I wanted to leave I would." I nodded my understanding and changed the direction I was walking to Hagrids hut. After all I still didn't want to be alone right now.

Before I could get out of the building harry and Ron ran up to me. I turned around slightly confused and said "yes?" they were both panting as Harry said "we've been looking for you everywhere! It's Christmas why aren't you in the common room?" this just made me even more confused as I said "because I figured you wouldn't want to be around me. You hate me since I'm friends with Snape and Draco." they both looked slightly guilty as Ron said "blimey, we don't hate you we just don't understand how you could be friends with them. Besides you always act like your so much better th-" he was cut off by Harry elbowing him in the gut.

I sighed but smiled as I figured I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I nodded and said "well no matter, let's just go." they nodded happily and we began to walk back to the common room. On the way Levi poked his head out of the sleeping bag and said "they smell like the two that were with the white haired human." i frowned and quietly looked up at Harry, he didn't show any sign of having heard Levi so I quietly asked "you mean crabbe and goyle?" he answered back "yes." i was confused at that and the memory of how crabbe and goyle had been acting strangely floated to the forefront of my mind.

I frowned and decided to ignore it for now, I'd have to ask Snape if I could look threw his stock to see if any ingredients were missing. I'd seen Hermione going towards moaning myrtle's bathroom a few times but hadn't thought anything of it. I'd have to talk to her and moaning myrtle about that soon.

I quickly shook the suspicious thoughts out of my head as we got to the common room. Harry and Ron shared some of the pies they'd gotten from Mrs weasley and we spent the night laughing and joking by the fire as we drank hot chocolate. I'd asked the boys where Hermione was and they said she had an accident with a spell and was in the infirmary. They both seemed really vague about the events that caused her to go to the infirmary and wouldn't look me in the eyes as they explained.

This only made me feel even more suspicious. It popped into my head that the boys were almost like poison ivy. I knew I shouldn't scratch because I'd only end up making it worse but it felt impossible not to. they were being so suspicious. I couldn't stop my mind from fitting the pieces together and the picture was never pretty. For the rest of the night I tried my best to ignore my own suspicious thoughts but they just kept reappearing.

I sighed as Harry and Ron finally left for bed and I couldn't stop myself. I got up and left the common room, I didn't bother trying to hide myself as I made my way to the dungeons. I quickly went into snapes classroom and after transfiguring the lock on the ingredients closet into a beetle. I took it off the door and went inside quickly going threw his stock of ingredients. I checked the neat chart he kept on the door. It listed all the times he used specific ingredients and when he got more. It also showed how much he should have and how much he did have.

I momentarily appreciated how organized Snape was before I got back to my suspicions. I noted a few ingredients that were missing and couldn't put my finger on the potion they were used for. I knew I knew what the potion was I just couldn't quite remember it. I sighed and put the chart back before closing the door and transfiguring the beetle back into a lock. I left his classroom and went to moaning myrtles bathroom. I wasn't the closest with her but she definitely liked me better then most other females.

I knocked on the bathroom door before going in and saying "miss myrtle! I have some questions for you, if you wouldn't mind answering them that is." she floated in front of me and said "I suppose I could answer depending on the question." i smiled at her and said "I noticed Hermione coming in here pretty often the past few months, have you two become friends?" she shook her head and giggled saying "nope!" I nodded and asked "then did she just like using this bathroom better then the others? The privacy is nice and it's always wonderful talking with you."

myrtle laughed and said "flattery will get you nowhere canis but thank you. no that nasty girl never came in here to use the bathroom or talk with me." I nodded and said "what did she come in here to do myrtle?" of course myrtle didn't answer though she just laughed and flew into one of the toilets. I sighed silently and said "well thank you myrtle, I'll be going. Perhaps I'll stop by during lunch sometime and we can chat." i just continued to hear her unnerving laughter as she said "oh I wouldn't be skipping meals if i were you canis, you look dreadful." i nodded and left.

I frowned and made my way to the library I skimmed threw a few potion books until I came to the potion. My blood boiled as I knew they had brewed and used poly juice potion to turn themselves into crabbe and goyle. I slammed the book closed and put it back on the shelf ignoring Levi's objections to the loud noise. My thoughts ran a mile a minute but my main thought was why? Why did he always have to do something stupid and irresponsible just as I was starting to trust him. Him and Draco were just alike in that aspect except Draco insulted those I loved instead of doing stupid life threatening shit like Harry. I honestly wasn't sure which I preferred.

I rubbed my temples as I started to get a migraine. My eyes began to water and I didn't know why. before I realized it I was crying my eyes out in the library. I didn't know why I was crying except maybe frustration. I felt Levi nudge my cheek again and didn't notice the metal snake in my hair glowing a bright green. I cried for several minutes until I felt a familiar large hand on my shoulder. I wiped my tears away and looked up to see Snape, he hugged me as I continued to cry and I felt a bit better. After spending I don't know how long crying in his arms I finally calmed down.

I felt so exhausted after I stopped crying I just sighed heavily. Snape picked me up and I didn't protest just leaning into his chest as he said "you can sleep canis, I'll bring you back to your room." i nodded as my eyes were already closed and tiredly said "thanks father." I quickly fell asleep in his arms and for once the nightmares didn't come.
