Draco's sister

chapter 11

Harry Potter pov

I stared at the girl with wide eyes before Hermione grabbed mine and Ron's arm and pulled us away from the girl who watched us with narrow eyes.

"Do you trust her, Harry?." Asked Hermione and glanced at the girl.

"I don't know," I said honestly and thought for a second. I didn't get the feeling that she was lying or any bad vibe from her. " But I don't think she is lying."

" Me either, " said Ron with crossed arms. " But we can use more help."

Hermione glared at him. " Ron we are not sure if she works with you-know-who, and try to trick us."

" You-know-who?."

We all jumped in surprise and saw the girl standing behind us, and looked confused.

" Is that what everybody calls the dark lord?."

I glanced at Hermione and Ron and saw them staring at her with wide eyes before looking back at the girl, who had her head tilt to the side in confusion.

"What?."

Ron pointed at her. " How can you not know that people call the dark lord, you know who?. Everybody has calls him that for years, have you live all your life in the muggle world or something?."

She crossed her arms. " I don't know what muggles are, but if that's your word for the nonmagical people than yes. The nonmagical world has been my home more than the magical world." She looked away with a distance look and looked very sad for a second.

" I never wanted to get involved with the magical world's problem,because what Dumbledore made me go through when i was little. But now many of my friends has died because of this dark lord and his group, and I can't just stand beside and just watch." She turned back at us. " I want to help."

I stared at her for a long while till Hermione put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a small nod.

" I think she is telling the truth, but.." she turned to the girl.

" Does anybody know you from the wizard's world?."

The girl thought for a second before shaking her head.

" No, Dumbledore made sure that I was never registered when i was little, and I don't know anybody from the wizard's world."

Hermione turned to me. " Which mean she can move more freely than us."

"But.." Ron jumped in. " Can she go freely in the wizard's world?."

I understood what Ron was talking about, Voldemort has taken over the ministry and put many of his followers everywhere to catch muggle-born and half-blood they think doesn't belong in the magical world. But the question is can this girl go there freely?.

" Mudblood!!." Screamed the loud voice of Mrs. Black portrait that was hidden by old curtains beside the girl.

The girl jumped up in surprise and stared at the curtains.

" What the hell?." She put a hand over her chest and turned to us.

" What was that?."

" Its Mrs. Black," I said and moved the curtains aside to show the portrait of Mrs. Black, who stared at me with hate.

" Mudblood!. Blood traitor!." She screamed with her loud voice.

" She doesn't like people who aren't from a full blood wizard family."

"Oh ok," Said the girl and rubbed her ear. I cover up the Mrs. Black's portrait, but before I completely covered her portrait with the curtains, I saw her confused face when her eyes landed on the girl like she just saw a ghost or something.

" Um, how about we sit in the living room and talk some more?." Asked Hermione and turned to the girl with her hand out. " My name is Hermione Granger, am Harry's close friend."

The girl stared down at Hermione's hand, before shaking it.

" Nice to meet you, my name is Sera."

Ron appeared right beside Sera. " And am Ron Weasley."

" Nice to meet you, Ron." Sera turned to me. " I already know who you are, but.." She held out her hand to me." It's nice to meet you, Harry Potter. And hopefully, we can find a way to take the dark lord down."

I stared at her for a long while before taking her hand, and had a small smile on my lips.

" I hope so too."

After shaking her hand, I invited her to the living room where me, Ron and Hermione was sleeping a second ago. But I couldn't help to feel embarrassed about the condition it was.

Because we were so busy figuring out where the next Horcrux was, so we didn't have the time or come so far to think of cleaning the room. The whole room was covered in thick dust and spiderwebs everywhere, beside the couch area where our crumbled sleeping bags was.

I glanced at Sera and saw her looking at the room with no trace of emotion, which made it hard for me to figure out what she was thinking. But I could guess she was really disgusted and thought of us as lazy people.

" Sorry for the mess, we have been busy figuring out where the next Horcrux is that we didn't have time to clean up. Well, we didn't expect to get any visitor at all."

Her eyes turned to me before she tilts her head to the side.

" Have you figured out where the next Horcrux is?." She asked before she sat down in on of the chairs that still had dust on, and she didn't show that it bother her anyway.

I stared at the chair she sat on before I looked at her again.

" Um, no. We only have this clue." I quickly took out the letter that was in the fake locket and handed it over to her.

"To the Dark Lord

I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more.

R.A.B."

She looked at me. " Do you have any idea who this R.A.B is?."

I shook my head no and glanced at Ron and Hermione who walked in with different color cups filled with tea.

" No, we still try to figure it out." I took one of the cups and looked down at the tea in deep thought.

" We have already look through wizards family with the last name starting with B, but we found nothing." Said Hermione and handed a cup to Sera.

Sera nodded a thanks when she took the cup and looked to be in deep thought before she glanced at the hall.

" You called that portrait for Mrs. Black, right?."

I nodded and wonder where she was going with it. " Yes?."

" Did she had any children?."

" Yes, my godfather Sirius Black who died a few years ago." The memory of his death played in my mind when I said that, and I looked down at the floor.

" Um, was he the only child?." Asked Sera and looked at me with worried eyes.

I thought for a second. " He told me one time that he had a younger brother."

" And what was his name?."

" I think his name was Regulus Arcturus B..."I stared at her and turned to Hermione and Ron. " Black."
