10. “THE BOAT RIDE AND CONFLICTS”

'I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy', he said.

'I'm Malfoy, Zaraina Malfoy', She said

The Brother and Sister duo said in dominance.

❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇

The train slowly came to a stop at the small Hogsmeade station and we all piled out of the train. We stood around clueless while the older kids walked off knowing exactly what to do and where to go. That time Zara heard someone calling her name from behind. Zara and Hermione turned to see a boy running towards them Zara smiled while Hermione looked at the boy and took a step back Zara thought 'that her brother would crash on them that's why mione took a step back but on the contrary, Hermione blushed but she hid her face.

DRACO: Hey!!!! You didn't come to meet me at all.

He said pouting.

ZARA: "Neither you did."

Draco tried to explain but he was stopped by Zara.

"Who are they?"

Zara asked pointing to the four boys and one girl and Zara recognized that girl.

DRACO: That is Theodore Nott and that's Blasie Zabini and this is Crabbe and Goyle And that's Pansy Parkinson.

Draco introduced them to Zara and Draco turned to them

" Guys this is Scarlett. "

ZARA: This is Hermione Granger.

PANSY: She is a muggle-born isn't she?

Pansy said in a disgusted voice. Upon hearing this Hermione looked away but Zara got angry, her eyes just enough to kill someone Draco noticed the change in Zara he thought 'Oh. shit Zara doesn't like this kind of words '

ZARA: Oh yes, She is my friend. Got any problems?

Zara said in the icy cold, Pansy shuddered in fear while the boys were confused that just now she smiled warmly like the sun and looked innocent like a flower but right now she... even Hermione was surprised by Zara's action and Draco looked like nothing concerns him. Pansy walked away looking angrily but no one said anything they just looked at Zara. Suddenly they heard a voice.

HAGRID: "Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!"

Shouted a large, scruffy-looking man

DRACO: "Look, it's that big old oaf ."

Zara glared at Draco. Draco kept quiet. Zara noticed the boy with messy black hair.

BLAISE: "Wait, didn't he just say Harry?"

ZARA: You know what it's wrong with eavesdropping on others' conversations (Hermione nodded.) and I'm sure there are other Harrys in our year."

DRACO: "But look - he's got the same color hair and I swear he has bright green eyes, I can almost see them from here,"

added Draco not being at all subtle as he peered at the boy. Zara thought 'he does look similar, he has the same messy black hair, pale skin, and eyes, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence. The boy - Harry- turned his head briefly in our direction and Zara caught sight of something that proved Blaise and Draco's suspicions to be true: his lightning-shaped scar.

HAGRID: "Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me!"

Hagrid continued to shout. We all followed him to the side of the black lake where a large group of small boats sat. "No more'n four to a boat."

He instructed.

Crabbe and Goyle went ahead of us, getting into a boat with two girls Zara soon recognized as Pansy and Millicent Theo was out of sight he was nowhere to be found, while Zara climbed into one with Hermione, Draco, and Blaise. We were about to start drifting across the lake when a nervous-looking girl walked up to us.

THE GIRL: "Erm excuse me. do you mind if I sit here?"

She asked, her voice quiet and a little shaky. Draco and Blaise looked at her skeptically, deciding whether or not to let her on.

THE GIRL: "All the other boats are full."

she continued, fidgeting anxiously.

ZARA: It's alright you can join us.

Hermione whispered to Zara that the four were in a boat, but Zara gave a smile.

THE GIRL: I'm Maratha Isabel Robbins.

she introduced herself as we floated across the lake. Robbins recognizes that name from somewhere.

BLASIE: "Er - nice to meet you, Isabelle I'm Blaise Zabini,"

He held his hand out for Martha to shake, she looked slightly taken aback by this but accepted anyway. Zara then nudged Draco who was busy staring up at the castle in amazement, not paying attention to anything else.

DRACO: "Huh - oh right, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

he introduced himself, also shaking her hand.

HERMIONE Hi Isabelle. I'm Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you.

Isabelle smiled

ZARA: "And I'm Zarina, Scarlett Malfoy, but my friends just call me Zara ."

Isabelle smiled while Blasie was shocked.

BLASIE Seriously, Darco you never said that you had a sister

Draco smirked proudly while Hermione smiled, making Isabelle smile slightly.

DRACO: Did you guys give me some time to introduce her to you and she is my sister we both are twins and you guys don't recognize how alike we both are.

Suddenly not only Blasie but even Hermione and Isabelle started pointing out Draco's and Zara's alike and differences but Zara completely ignored them through the entire ride.

~~~

When we stepped off of the boats Draco grabbed the edge of Zara's robe sleeve and dragged her away from the crowds.

ZARA: "Draco we're supposed to be going that way,"

Draco just acted like he hadn't heard me.

DRACO: "Are you sure you don't want to talk to Harry? father said that he's someone we should become friends with. Hey, don't get me wrong father has been saying this to me even before you came home."

Zara looked at Draco but nodded at his words.

ZARA: I trust you Draco. So how are you going to talk to him and I don't want to.

DRACO: I have an idea

he announced.

'yeah I knew it, Zara thought

ZARA: Alright, let's hear it then.

She mumbled with a lot less enthusiasm. More often than not his plans backfire or just generally go wrong

DRACO: He obviously won't introduce himself to you since he didn't seem very talkative but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to speak to him first. Talking to random people doesn't phase me in the slightest so what if I were to introduce you?

Zara stared at him blankly for a second, waiting to see if he'd notice the obvious fault in his plan. He didn't.

ZARA: Why do I come in this plan?!?!

DRACO: Yes, okay if you are not interested, but I can go over to him and introduce myself and along with Crabbe and Goyle, I can then introduce us all and it'll seem like I'm just introducing myself, before we get sorted into our houses, in case you get put in a different one to him because let's face it, he defiantly is not going to make Slytherin,"

he explained. Wow. For once his plan doesn't sound too disastrous. Very shocking indeed. Zara felt a smile creeping onto her face

ZARA: Go on bro. I will cheer you.

"WELCOME TO HOGWARTS. "

Professor McGonagall's voice echoed through the stone corridor, drawing our attention to where she stood on the stairs.

"Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule-breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup-"

she was interrupted by a boy jumping forwards.

"-Trevor!" exclaimed NEVILLE, picking up his toad. He then noticed everyone was staring at him and stepped back looking embarrassed.

"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." (She turned away from us and walked off.)

DRACO: C'mon (Draco said to Zara, Crabbe, and Goyle, who we managed to find on the way in. He started to lead us through the crowds towards Harry.) "It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" (he announced louder than he intended to, which caused people to stare and start whispering, but that, of course, didn't bother Draco in the slightest. He simply carried on.)

"This is Crabbe, Goyle." (he introduced them . Zara smiled at Draco and Harry who just looked at Zara who was standing with Hermione behind Draco he gave her a nervous smile .)

"And I'm Malfoy.Draco Malfoy."

(Just as he said his name a ginger-haired kid next to Harry sniggered. "Oh no. That's not good. If there's one thing Draco hates most it's being laughed at. And how dare he laugh at my brother's name " Zara thought her eyes looking at that boy in a hostile manner.)

"Think my name's funny, do you?" (He questioned with a glare on his face. )

"No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley." (Draco spat, looking down at the ginger boy in disgust. Zara thought "Ohhh, my godfather told me about the Weasleys. They're a family of gingers with far more children than they can afford." Her godfather is Severus Snape the only person she calls dad even though she has a father but she calls her godfather a dad. And she noticed that expression was not happy at all )

ZARA: Now you are angry aren't you

(Zara said as she walked towards them.) just like that he also got angry when you laughed at his name. Try to learn some manners like " How to behave when someone is talking".

(That boy was fuming in anger while Harry, Hermione, Isabelle, Blasie, Theo, and Draco d at Zara in amusement even Pansy but she looked at Zara in a completely different light. Zara glared at that boy. Draco tried to maintain his expression but he was so happy talking to him. But while Zara tried to drag Draco out of that place that red boy spoke.)

THAT RED BOY: Who are you to say me to mind my manners?? (The boy said through his gritted teeth )

ZARA: Ha.. how bad of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Scarlett Zarina Malfoy, Draco's twin sister.

She said and dragged Draco with her to Hermione and Isabelle leaving Theo, Pansy Crabble, and Goyle in shock while that red boy glared at her. While Harry looked amazed. That moment professor McGonagall came in

"We're ready for you now. Follow me," (instructed McGonagall)
