A Letter 2 Years Late

Chapter 18 - There's No Other Like The Unknown Brother

Hello Tressa,

It's a pleasure to unofficially meet you.Your parents were quite the characters I must say. I roughly knew your father back in the day. Two years older I think he was. Joined the dark lord as soon as he got out of school. He was quite excited to be serving the dark lord. I find it ironic how he was put in Hufflepuff... Not sure if you knew but they were and still are assassins. I've had someone tell me they were in Toronto when you were probably five. Everyone lost track of them after that. They just fell off the face of the earth. I assume they might have been there because you were. Maybe they left to check on the other child. Who knows. I advise you not to go looking for them. The world is a big and dangerous place, especially for a child your age.

All the best wishes,

Draco Malfoy

"Other child? Other child!" Rose shouted.

"SHH!" I hissed, snatching the letter out of her hands.

Scorpius and Fred were also with us. We immediately met up outside, kind of between Hagrid's hut and the Whomping Willow when Scorpius told me he had received a letter from his father. This meeting wasn't going very well though. Fred was skeptic about asking for the Malfoy's help and he was continuously giving Scorpius dirty looks.

"Yes, other child, it's right there!" Fred whispered yelled and jabbed his index finger at the words on the paper.

"What does he mean by other child?" I asked confused.

"Kind of self explanatory I guess, there was some other kid involved in all this..." Scorpius deduced.

"Are you saying Tressa has a sibling out there?" Rose questioned with a raise of her eye brow.

"I'm saying it's possible. Nothing is one hundred percent," Scorpius defended.

"Yes or no?" Rose groaned.

"I don't know!"

"It is possible..." Fred thought out loud.

"Professor McGonagall said I had no family left though. Unless she didn't know about a sibling," I said quietly.

The group fell silent and we just sat staring at the grass or the each other.

"So what now?" Fred asked.

"Is there a way to find out I have a sibling?" I asked knowing the answer.

"I'm not sure..." Rose sighed.

The meeting was over after that and we all got up and headed our separate ways.

History class is the worst. I mean the absolute worst. Proffesor Binns was pacing, no, floating back and forth droning on and on about some war. What was the point in teaching us about the past? The past is in the past... Now I'm being a hypocrite... Great...

"Professor! Professor! What happened after the final battle of Voldermort? I mean, it was the biggest battle ever and we don't know a thing about it or about the Bae family!"

I snapped my head towards the source of the voice and saw Hilary. The perky, perfect, annoying, high pitched, asks way too many questions, supposedly super sweet (I think it's complete BS) Hilary. I hated her and her annoying two year old squeaky voice. She's just so annoying! I just don't know how else to describe her!

What I really wanted to do right now was rip her vocal cords out. Especially because she brought my family up. Every pair of eyes were staring at me like I... like I... I can't even think of any similes anymore... Stellar patted my back and tried to comfort me.
