THAT'S MY BROTHER

Chapter 11

I woke up to the sound of crying rattling around the castle, I followed the cries until I got to Draco's room and I walked in. He was curled in a ball on his bed so I sat down with him and hugged him. "I loved her so much, why did she have to go?" He cried even louder. "I don't know, she was the best, but would she want you to cry? No. She loved you more than anything in the world Draco and she hasn't gone because she's always here." I pointed to his heart and he smiled "You're right. I just wish it was me instead of Elisha." He stopped crying and wiped his eyes on my sleeve. "But if you think about it, if you died then she would feel the same way you do." I stroked his hair and he wrapped his arms around my ribs and squeezed me. "You're right Hannah. You're the best sister I could ask for, I'm sorry Father was horrible to you." he stood up and looked at the clock above the door. "I'm sorry she died. You really loved her." he smiled and looked at me "Yes I really did, you should probably go and get dressed it's 7AM and we have potions." He grabbed his shirt and robe and laid them on the bed. "Are you going to be okay?" I held his hand. "Yes well it's going to hurt but I'll be strong." I walked towards the door and left, he was always strong but that was because father forced him to. When father died and mother was killed he turned to me and Elisha and now she's gone, I'm the only person he has left, I need to be there for him.

I walked to the great hall after getting dressed and I smiled at Ron and the twins, Fred moved over but I shook my head and continued to walk past them, I sat with Draco and Pansy. "So your girlfriend is dead. Does that mean we can you know... hook up?" Pansy nudged him and I choked on my cereal. Draco looked up at me and his eyes began to water so I leaned forwards and punched Pansy in the throat and it made Draco laugh, "Don't talk to him. You are a bitch and how dare you talk about Elisha in that way!" I grabbed Draco and we walked to the Griffindor table, Fred started clapping as we sat down so me and Draco smiled. "Well that's an interesting start to a birthday" he laughed. Oh My Merlins Beard IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!! I completely forgot. "Oh yeah my birthday I completely forgot." Draco and Ron laughed at me. "Well can we give you our presents?" Ron asked smiling. "You guys" I smiled very happy I had such amazing friends "You shouldn't have!" Ron passed me a box over the table and I tore off the paper, it was a bottle of perfume that was scented like roses and vanilla, I sprayed it all over myself and kissed him. "Ron it smells amazing thank you!" George handed me a large rectangular box. "Mum told me to give you this." I opened the box and it was a short black dress with small straps. It was one of the most stunning things I had ever seen in my life. "I'll write to her later and say thank you!" Fred and George smiled and they gave me a small bag, I opened it and it had a small box that had a ring in it, the ring was a snake that had emerald eyes. I put it on and kissed their cheeks and Fred began to blush. "I love it so much thank you boys!" I looked at my hand admiring the ring. Draco coughed so I looked at him "I got you this." he gave me a bag and I opened it, it was a blanket made of the shirts we had gotten when mum would take us to random places when the death eaters would come over. "Hermione helped me make it!" I flung my arms around him and began to cry. "Thank you guys they're all amazing I love you weirdos!" I wiped away my tears as Dumbledor said "Okay everyone, off to your classes." we all stood up and started walking to potions.

"Hannah! Wait!" I turned around to see Oliver dashing towards me "Oh hey Oliver. What's up?" he caught his breath and said "It's your birthday right?" I smiled and nodded "Well in that case meet me on the quidditch pitch at 4." He walked off and I ran to potions.

"Who can tell me what this potion is?" Slughorn asked and obviously Hermione knew "Amortentia Sir, it's the most powerful love potion known, it smells different for each person and it smells like what you're attracted to." she smiled "Very good Miss Granger, do we have any volunteers? Miss Malfoy?" I shrugged my shoulders and walked forwards, I breathed in and said everything I smelled "Freshly mown grass, new parchment and spearmint toothpaste" Ron looked so happy, I smelled again "wait I smell something else, erm, F-Fireworks, vanilla and c-cinnamon." Ron looked at me confused and slightly angry. I looked over at Fred and he winked. Oh no what have I done.

The class ended and I chased Ron. "Ron! Slow down! Talk to me." He stopped and turned around quickly "What do you want to talk about?! You smelled my brother Hannah!" He turned back around and ran down the stairs. "Yes but I smelled you first!" I screamed after him. I turned with tears rolling down my face like small crystals and saw Draco walking quickly to the bathroom. I followed him as he looked very upset. "Draco?" I knocked on the door before I opened it, he was stood looking at himself in the mirror crying "The entire classroom" he cried louder and I walked closer to him "it smelled like her, mint, cherries, lily's and her perfume" he broke down and fell on the floor, I sat next to him and hugged him "Hey it's okay, she's in a better place now." I looked down at his arm and saw the dark mark "Draco, why didn't you tell me you had the dark mark?" he looked up at me and whilst crying he muttered "I didn't want you to hate me." I smiled and said "You muppet I could never hate you and I have the mark to but back to the whole Elisha thing, let's go to your tree and you can leave a note for her and say goodbye. There isn't anything you can do and she would want you to be happy." I held him tighter and he stood up and nodded then he walked to his dorm.

Half an hour later we walked to the tree and he said "Elisha I love you so much, that's why I have to say goodbye. I will see you soon and you will always be with me." he started to break down "I wrote this note for you but I'm going to burn it because you already know what it says because you always knew what I was thinking." he set fire to the note. "It's okay Draco." I kissed his forehead "I'll leave you two alone"
