Faye Potter.
Faye walks up to the sorting hat, looking quite scared. She looks over at Harry, who gives her a reassuring smile, and she sits down. McGonagall places the hat on her head, and the hall waits with bated breath. Hermione and Ron are staring at Harry like he just announced he's a death eater. The hat takes a long time before finally yelling,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Gryffindor table stays silent, only a few polite people clapping. Harry grins as his sister practically runs towards him. She throws herself at Harry, hugging him so tightly he couldn't breathe. He smiles at her before helping her sit down beside him. McGonagall continues to announce the names, but almost the entire hall is staring at the pair. They look quite similar, with the jet-black hair. Only Faye took in Reg's wavy hair rather than James' messy style. Her eyes were also different, a soft grey like Regs, rather than Harry's green that he got from Lily. He turns back to the sorting hat, a small boy is sitting there now, waiting for his house. After a while, the hat shouts,
"RAVENCLAW!"
A table claps for him and he scampers off to his friends. Another young boy walks forward and sits down.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat yells immediately.
The boy smiles and walks over to the table emitting cheers. A few more students went, before coming to the last one.
"Lupin Teddy!" Harry smiles at Remus's and Sirius's son, who shuffles up to the sorting hat. The hat takes a bit before declaring.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Teddy smiles before walking off. He grins at Harry and Faye before heading to his table. McGonagall rolls up the scroll before stepping up to the podium and announcing this year's rules.
"This year, Care of Magical Creatures for sixth years and up will be held in the forbidden forest. Also, for eighth years, Defence Against the Dark Arts will take place in the Forbidden Forest. Fifth years and down, if you are caught trying to approach the forbidden forest, you will be given detention and 50 points will be taken. Take care, and now let's feast!" She snapped her fingers and food appeared on the five tables, including the teacher's one.
Harry watches everyone dig in before turning to Faye, who is trying to cut into some pork chops. Harry grins and nudges her arm to get her attention.
"Remember how I told you I'd introduce you to my friends? Cmon, ill do it now." He says to her. Faye lights up and smiles at him. Harry turns to Ron and Hermione, who glances at Faye before looking up at Harry with questioning eyes.
"Ron, Hermione, this is Faye, my little sister. She is James and Reg's kid, be nice to her, or ill throw you off the astromany tower. Im looking at you Ron." Harry jokes trying to lighten the mood.
"Nice to meet you, Faye. Im Hermione. This is Ron, please dont be offended by his attitude, he is always like this. You'll get used to it." Hermione says, smiling warmly at Faye, who is looking up at the three with shining eyes.
"C'mon, eat up. We dont have long left to eat normal food before desserts come out." Harry says, helping Faye cut up her pork chop.
She smiles at him before eating her food. He puts some food on his plate before turning back to Hermione. Ron is staring at Harry with his mouth hanging open. Harry smacks him on the head to snap him out of it, laughing as Ron fails to retaliate. Hermione rolls her eyes at the boys and continues eating, giving Harry wary glances now and then. After a bit, the food disappears before being replaced with hundreds of deserts. Harry grabs a Treacle Tart, munching on it as he watches his sister eat her Cauldron Cake. After a while, the food disappears and McGonagall dismisses them for bed. Hermione is Prefect so she leads the first years up to Gryffindor Tower. Harry tags along to make sure his sister gets to her dorm safely, as he doesn't like some of the looks other students are giving her. Faye seems oblivious to this and keeps ogling at everything. Harry helps Hermione direct the students to bed before hugging Faye and wishing her a good night.
"Wait, aren't you sleeping here?" She asks.
"No Faye, im sleeping at the eighth-year dorms. Dont worry, make some friends and I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast. My dorms are next to the astronomy tower if you need to find me. Good night Fifi, I'll see you tomorrow." He hugs her tightly before waving her off.
Harry and Hermione make their way to their dorms, seeing Draco and Pansy sitting on the sofa, everyone else still downstairs listening to McGonagall's announcement about the dorms. Hermione sits next to Pansy, resting her head on Pansy's shoulder and tucking her legs under her. Harry sits next to Draco, who's reading a book. The three chat for a while before the potrait door opens and the eighth year's file in, most looking grumpy. They all walk off to find their rooms, and Ron joins them. After a while, people start filing back into the common room, seeming to realize the group in the room.
"Hey Harry, Ron. How was summer?" A familiar voice says behind them.
Neville walks over and sits down on an armchair next to Ron.
"Good Nev, how was yours?" Ron asks.
They fell into friendly chatter, till Neville was getting tired and decided to get some sleep.
"I've got Dean as my roommate. Who did you guys get?" Neville asks as he stands up.
"Ive got Blaise." Ron replies.
"I've got this one," Harry says, pointing to Draco.
"I feel bad for you mate, who wants to bet with me to see which one of them will murder the other first?" Neville chuckles before saying goodnight and heading to his dorm.
Ron gets up too, saying he's feeling tired and wants to get some sleep, even though it's Sunday tomorrow. Harry wishes him goodnight before going to his own dorm. He flops down on the bed before deciding he should get changed. He pulls his robes off, changing his trousers for sleepwear before taking off his shirt. He hears the door creak open. Harry turns around to see Draco, staring at him with pink cheeks. Harry grins and chucks his shirt into his trunk, sitting down on his bed after. Draco realizes what he's doing and goes red before shuffling to his bed. Harry rolls his eyes before getting the Maurders map out, watching Faye's little icon chat with her friends in her dorm.
Draco collapses on his bed. What was he thinking, staring at Harry like that? It's not Draco's fault that Harry is actually quite fit, and handsome, and cute, and-
Okay, stop with the mental swooning.
Draco pulls the curtains around his bed before getting changed. He pulls off his robes, hanging them by his bed, before pulling his clothes off and pulling his pajamas on. Draco pulls back the curtains when he's done, putting his clothes away before turning to Harry. Harry is lying down on his bed, shirtless, staring at his little map. Draco remembers the Potter girl today at the sorting and decides to ask Harry about it.
"Potter, who was that girl who shared your name?" Draco asks, sitting down on his bed, and facing Harry.
Harry looks up from the map, placing it on the side.
"She's my sister. Well, half-sister, technically speaking. She's James' and Reg's kid, so she's half related to me. Her name is Faye." Harry replies.
Draco's eyes widen.
"You have a sister? How did the world not know?"
"James and Reg kept her hidden from the Wizarding world, but she knows all about magic and stuff. And she's a pure-blood so to speak. Im surprised she didn't get put in Slytherin, she is certainly ambitious and cunning. Maybe she's too brave. I just hope she doesn't get in trouble like I did." Harry replies, his voice taking on a worried tone.
"She won't. She seems like a good kid. And, technically speaking, this means we are related. Me and her. Since Regulus is my first cousin once removed, Faye is my second cousin. That means you, not by blood, are my first cousin. But again, not by blood." Draco says.
"That would be funny. But luckily we're not related by blood." Harry says, chuckling a bit.
Draco frowns.
"Why? Would that be bad?" He asks.
Harry stands up and walks over to Draco's bed, leaning over him. Draco gulps.
"Yeah, for me it would," Harry replies.
"Why?" Draco asks, voice dry.
"Cause it means I wouldn't be able to do this," Harry whispers.
Before Draco can react, Harry presses his lips against Dracos. Draco freezes up for a moment, before melting into the kiss. He kisses Harry back, his lips slightly parting when Harry brushes his tongue against Draco's lips. Harry takes that as permission and dives his tongue into Draco's mouth. Draco softly moans as Harry feels his mouth out. Harry softly bites down on Draco's lips, sitting down on Draco's bed and placing the blond boy on his lap, not once breaking the kiss. Draco swishes his tongue around Harry's, attempting to explore Harry's mouth. Harry bites down harder on Draco's lip, causing the boy to bring his own tongue back into his mouth, letting Harry take control again. Draco wraps his arms around Harry's shoulders, Harry places his hands on Draco's hips, holding him steady so he doesn't fall off. Harry slows down, lightly kissing Draco's lips, before gently pulling away. Draco opens his eyes to see Harry staring at him, grinning from ear to ear. Draco rolls his eyes and tries to get off, but Harry holds him still.
"You're so beautiful," Harry whispers.
Draco shivers at the sound, and partially because he is cold. Harry notices and lets go of Draco's hip. Draco slinks back to his bed, pulling the covers tightly around his body. Harry chuckles before getting out his wand and walking around the room, muttering under his breath. Draco relaxes as a wave of warmth washes over him. He realizes Harry is putting up heating charms, before letting out a soft sigh and settling against his headboard. Harry finishes up, smiling when he sees Draco curled up in his bed. Harry helps Draco lie down comfortably before leaning in,
"Goodnight Draco" Harry kisses his forehead before turning and getting into his bed.
Draco relaxes and tries to sleep, but he can't. He can't stop thinking about that kiss either. Draco glances over to Harry, who is getting comfortable in his bed. Draco closes his eyes and wills himself to sleep. After a while, he finally manages to do so.
