I was sitting on a bench in a rather crowded hallway. Ron, Harry, and I all had a free period. We had already had all of our other classes for the day.
Instead of napping they had dragged me to people watch. I reluctantly went with them but sat absentmindedly, staring at my nails. The boys stood next to me on the bench watching with smiles as first years ran around like a chickens without heads.
I watched as one ran crying down the hallway, hopelessly lost. I knew that feeling, that's how I had felt my first day at ilvernmorny.
McGonagle stood in the middle of the hallway trying to guide several students as they all rushed around her. After she was done yelling at someone about going into the wrong lavatory, she turned to us three, though I was well hidden.
"Mr. Potter." She said with a glare.
"Ah this cant be good." Harry muttered to Ron and I before walking over.
I decided Now was a good time to try and sneak away from the pair. I got about half way down the hall when Harry grabbed my shoulder. I grimaced.
"Come on Adrena, were taking slughorns potion class." He said smirking at the scowl forming on her face.
"Harry McGonagle didn't catch me, why do I have to go." I asked him in a whiny tone, trying to get him to release me.
He just smiled.
"Thank you wonderful sister for agreeing to come with me and help me try and pass a class I hate while aiding Dumbledore and I in a way I don't know yet."
I had known Dumbledore asked him to get close to slughorn. My shoulders slumped, knowing I'd have to comply.
"I suck at potions! If you haven't realized there what brought me to Draco in the first place last year! You hated that remember?" I told him.
He began to drag me along with him, not bothering to comment on what I had just said. I was already fatigued from lack of sleep, so I hatched a plan, hoping it would make Harry reconsider.
"Fine," I said jumping on his back suddenly. His knees buckled slightly but he remained upright. "Your giving me a picky back ride because I've already suffered a ton of trauma today and the last thing I want to do is potions."
Though I couldn't see it, I could practically feel the eyes roll out of his head. Nonetheless he gripped my legs and we began the journey down to the dungeons. My plan had failed but I at least I didnt have to walk down five or so flights of stairs. When we arrived class had already started and all eyes turned to us as we walked through the door.
My cheeks turning red, I slowly slid off Harry's back.
"Sorry where late Professor." Harry said.
"No problem Mr. Potter. I see you've brought friends." I was still hiding behind Harry.
"Ron Weasley sir." Ron said.
"I'm Adrena, Adrena Potter sir." I said stepping around Harry.
"MERLINS BEARD!" He exclaimed, " there's another Potter? Oh I should have known, you look so much.."
I cut him off.
"Like my mother yes, with my fathers hair." I said smiling.
Harry smiled at me.
"We're Twins Professor." I told him.
He looked surprised.
"Well we can all talk about this later," he said smiling, " now take out your books."
"Uh we don't have books Professor." Ron said sheepishly.
"Very well you three can borrow the books from the shelves back there. Also you three can sit with Miss Ganger right over there." He smiled then continued his lecture.
We walked over to the shelves. Harry and Ron fought over that last good book and when Ron won, Harry smacked him upside the head and grabbed the last tattered copy of the book.
"Bloody git." Harry muttered at Ron before looking to me.
"Looks like we're sharing Adrena." He said as we walked to the table.
I shrugged but agreed. I looked up to find Draco watching me. Realizing he'd been caught, he gave me a small smile and returned to our Professor. We were soon released to make the draught of living death. The person who makes the best brew got a vile of liquid luck, which is a potion that will someone succeed at whatever they set their mind too.
I had moved my things next to Harry, deciding it would be easier to work together than apart. Harry read through the book astonished. It had be written in, instructions crossed out, and further instructions listed as well. Harry and I looked at each other and smirked. We were so getting that vile of luck.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
An hour later, two Hermione freak outs because she wasn't the best, Ron's cauldron exploding three times sending green crap all over Hermione, and Draco getting worked up in the corner later, Harry and I had finished our masterpiece.
Slughorn congratulates us as another mutters that it's unfair because there were two of us. Slughorn laughed.
"Stop your whining, I don't think any of you, had you been paired up, would have the same outcome anyways. Here potters, as promised, one vile of liquid luck." He said handing it to Harry. "Use it wisely." He warned.
Harry and I high fived. As we were leaving class I jumped on Ron's back this time. He groaned but didn't even buckle, he was far stronger than Harry.
"Alright Weasley off you go!" I told him. Harry and Hermione laughed.
I grew tired and rested my head. He started to walk toward the Great Hall were dinner would be served in thirty minutes. The trio all laughed and joked as Adrena fell asleep for a few minutes.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Harry looked at Adrena, she looked exhausted as she napped on Ron's back. He couldn't help but feel for his twin sister. She was getting the worst visions of Voldemort.
He sighed as they walked into the Great Hall. They had arrived about twenty minutes early for the meal.
"Here I'll take her, she can lean on me while we wait." He told them then took Adrena from Ron.
He had thought she was really light earlier, it was now he realized just how skinny she had gotten. He could feel her ribs as her held her rib cage to move her. Adrena and Sirius where all he had left in this world, all he wanted to do was protect her. He just didn't know how.
They all sat around until dinner was served. Harry didn't want to wake the girl but she'd barley eaten anything this week. Harry got angry at himself and made a mental note to track how much she ate.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Adrena you need to wake up." Harry said rubbing my back.
I slowly sat up. I realized we were in the Great Hall and there was food in front of me.
"Sorry, must have fallen asleep." I said sheepishly.
"It's alright, though you did drool a bit on my shoulder though." Ron smirked and I flushed.
"Eh sorry." I said.
They all laughed at me, and for the first time in a couple of weeks I found myself not as annoyed with them. I reached over and got a spoon full of steamed vegetables and some rice, as well as some pumpkin juice. I saw Harry watching me from the corner of my eye and ignored him.
I had a few bites of food before I was full. I then watched as harry piled a piece of chicken, two rolls, and some mashed potatoes on my plate. He then gave me a pointed look.
"Your not leaving until you eat Adrena." He said.
I flushed as Ron and Hermione looked over out of curiously.
"I'm not a child Harry, I'm just not hungry, ill eat more when I'm hungry." I said through my teeth. There goes my non-annoyance for once.
"I've barley seen you eat more than a bite or two the last couple of weeks, even before last night." Harry said lowly so only I could hear.
I scoffed.
"Harry I am fully capable of deciding what to eat and how much, again I'm not a child so back off." I said.
I watched as he sent pleading looks to the other two but they avoided eye contact. He went to speak but I cut him off.
"Look Snape probably wants me to meet him for a lesson tonight so I'm going to go prepare, I'll see you guys later." I stood up to walk away. I heard harry slam his cup on the table and get up to follow me.
Why do we have to fight? I dont understand why he thinks he's in charge of me all the sudden. No not all the sudden, he's always like this. He did this when I was Draco, he does it every time I get hurt. I understand he just wants to keep me safe but its suffocating.
"Adrena! Adrena wait!" He yells after me.
I sped up hoping to lose him. I turn a couple of hallways still hearing him call after me. Before I new it, an arm reached out and grabbed me placing there hand over my mouth and pulling me into a little hiding spot behind a a large pillar.
I began to struggle until a familiar voice filled my ear.
"Shh love its just me, be quite for just a second." He said with his hand still over my mouth.
Harry came running past still calling my name. He got down the long corridor, understanding he had lost me. He cursed then turned around running back towards the Great Hall. When he was out of ear shot Draco loosened his grip.
"Sorry, didnt mean to scare you. Saw you running from Potter and thought I'd help you escape him, anything to help get under his skin." He smirked at me.
I turned to him, until now he hadn't seen my face. My eyes were puffy and I was a little winded from running. Tears began to slip down my face. His face turned from a smirk to a frown.
"What's wrong, did I do something wrong? Did Potter do something?" He asked urgently. He reached a hand up and whipped away my tears.
"No, no its just, I'm just feeling overwhelmed. Harry was just being overprotective and I had a really rough night." I said sniffling.
"What happened last night?" he asked.
"I had a little visit to my dreams from you-know-who." I rolled up my sleeves. "He made me harm myself and read my entire mind. I just felt violated." I said. "On top of it all I heard my friends saying that they dont trust me anymore. I cant keep him out of my mind so they cant tell me things." I confessed.
This boy had a hold over me that I couldn't quite place, but he felt safe. He took my hand.
"Come on, we can sneak into Slytherin and we can have some privacy in my room. I'm a prefect so I have my own." He said.
I just nodded. That night he had snuck me in to his room. We talked for hours and I had felt so safe and honestly loved. I didnt remember falling asleep, wrapped in his arms, it just happened.
