Secrets In The Eyes Of The Enemy- Chapter 2 Hope and Hate

Jaden held tight to Rose’s hand as the small boat made its way along the lake. Their boat was well behind the others as Jaden turned to his sister and said, “Don’t be scared I’m here.”

The frightened blonde looked at her brother as she said, “I know but he’s there. Mother said he knew about us. What do you think he’ll say when he meets us?”

Jaden frowned at his sister while he growled, “He is dead to me. He turned his back on us for his whore; before I leave this place I will kill them both. I promised mother I would do it for her.”

Rose grabbed hold of her brother as she said, “Jaden you can’t. They’ll send you away, you promised you’d never leave me.”

He looked away from his sister and across the lake as he quietly said, “Rose, how can you not want him and his whore not to suffer for what they have done to our family?”

Rose turned his face to look in her eyes as she said, “Because I want to believe that there is still hope for us to be a family again. Theodore is dead, and mother still loves father, there is always a chance they could be together. I blame that evil women for taking him away, but no matter what he is our father, and I want to believe he will love us in time.”

Jaden turned his attention back to the lake as he coldly said, “I hate them both. He’s had eleven years to come back for us and he never has. When Theodore died he didn’t come to the funeral. I’ve watched mother cry to many tears for him. I won’t shed one more for him and I won’t beg for his acceptance. Theodore was our father as far as I’m concerned.”

Rose’s eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Jaden please don’t do anything foolish. Whether you like it or not he is our father. I’m not asking you to beg him to be in our l but but if he wants to please give him a chance. If nothing else do it for me. I need this, I need to know him, if only to find out why he did what he did.”

Jaden’s brown eyes turned nearly black as he looked at his sister and said, “Rose he did it because he is the scum of the earth. He sent his own father to Azkaban and never shed a tear over the loss of his mother who was never found. Why would you even want to let someone so heartless and foul in your life?”

Roookeooked down at her hands as they rested in her lap as she said; “He did all those things for her. I just want to know why she was so much more important to him than us.”

“This is foolishness Rose and you know it. He’ll only hurt you, and I won’t standby and watch.” He pulled her to him, and as they embraced each other he calmly said, “Now put your brave face on we’re almost at the castle.”

Rose nodded in understanding as she wiped away the tears and straightened out her robes.

The Great Hall was alive with noise as the students were busy discussing their summer, how it felt to be back, and how they couldn’t wait for the feast to begin. The teachers at the heable ble were calm as usual, they had all been through this spectacle many times, but for two of them they were as nervous as the first day they had come to Hogwarts. Hermione gripped Draco’s hand beneath the table almost painfully as they watched the doors open and Professor McGonagall usher in the new students.

The First years made their way down the center of the hall only stopping once they reached the stool on which sat a well worn old hat. The hall grew silent as the hat began its song.


Listen up for there is a story I have to tell

Of life, loss, and times gone by for which there is no spell

To heal the wounds that have been made within these hallowed grounds

Though the past lies between you, love it knows no bounds

So you stand before me on this day to find your place in life

And I’ll do my best to set things right between a father and his wife

Should I deem that Slytherin is where you need to be

You’ll fiit hit holds much power if your willing to pay the fee

For they are a cunning lot

But if it is the truth you seek a Slytherin your not

Now Hufflepuff if where you’ll find yourself should you need a friend

Within this lot you’ll find enough merriment to send you round the bend

For if it is a carefree life you choose

Within Hufflepuff you can not lose

For those with minds that thirst for more

Ravenclaw may be just your door

For amongst them lies the will to learn

If it’s to be a true Ravenclaw you yearn

In Gryffindor bravery and courage can be found in spades

If hope if what you have and it will not fade

A truer group you will not find should you find yourself in need

The way to be a Gryffindor is not through thought but deed

So fear me not for I can see inside

You where your dreams reside

I tell you who you are, and where you’ll go

And no matter what I won’t take no

The students exchanged odd looks with each other after the hat’s song but it was always knfor for making speeches, which it was often the only one that understood. Without any hesitation Professor McGonagall began calling up the new students to be sorted:

Margaret Able … Hufflepuff

Tomas Bean … Ravenclaw

Nelly Bell … Gryffindor

Dean Derrick… Slytherin

Derrick Doyle … Hufflepuff

Marion Flint … Slytherin

Fiona Ford … Ravenclaw

Jacob Johnson … Gryffindor

Jamie Kline … Ravenclaw

Jordan Lam … Ravenclaw

Kelly Lee … Hufflepuff

Ernie Lestrange … Slytherin

A tear slid down Hermione’s face as the moment Romeo and Juliet Malfoy’s names should have been announced.

Meagan Montague … Slytherin

Steven Moore … Hufflepuff

Amy Munn … Gryffindor

Tobias Nettles … Ravenclaw

Hermione cluched Draco’s hand as before them stood two blondes. The boy was short compared to the other boys in his class but his dark brown eyes gave him a determined look that made him look older than he truly was. The girl by his side looked nervous as she cluched the boy’s hand. She too had reddish blond locks but rather than straight like her brother she had a head full of soft curls. As she opened her eyes she revealed pools of grey.

Jaden Nott … Jaden took his seat on the stool and felt the hat being slipped on his head.

“Ah yes it seems we have a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A Malfoy who chooses not to be a Malfoy, but you can’t hide what you are dear boy. There is anger in you, ynd hnd hate, so much like your father. You have plans for things that will do more harm than good. You should learn who your real enemy’s are, before you travel down a path from which you may not return. Your mother will be angry but I know just the place for you … SLYTHERIN

Jaden left the stood brimming with pride yet slightly confused as he made his way to the Slytherin table. Why would his mother be angry? She had specifically told them she expected them to do her proud and be in Slytherin just like her and his father. Even his stepfather Theodore Nott had been in Slytherin, but before he could contemplate it any more he was being clapped on the back by his new Slytherin housemates. His focus was back on the center of the hall as his sister’s name was called out.

Rose Nott … Rose was nervous as she took her seat. With one last glance at her brother the hat slipped over her head.

“Ah it seems we have another Malfoy who is not a Malfoy to Yo You are different than your brother though aren’t you? You want to be the Malfoy you are. Your s to to just like your mother, you may yet take her title as smartest witch to pass through Hogwarts. I know where you want to be dear but I can’t put you there, it’s not where you belong. You’re much stronger than you give yourself credit for. There’s no Potter or Weasley just yet, but it’s time to learn who you really are … GRIFFINDOR”

As the hat was removed from Rose’s head and the Gryffindor table erupted in cheers Rose shrieked “NO!” and ran straight to her brother at the Slytherin table. The hall went silent as Rose took a seat beside her brother.

Draco and Hermione nearly ran to the Slytherin table, but were stopped by Albus Dumbledore who calmly said, “Stay where you are, I will look after Miss Nott.”

Dumbledore made he way over to the Slytherin table and asked a still shaking Rose, “My Dear would we please have a word in the hall?” Rose looked to her brother before nodding and following Dumbledore who turned to the crowd and said, “Please continue Minerva, I shall return with our young Griffindor in a moment.”

Marion Flint snickered as she said loud enough for the entire Slytherin table to hear, “So much for Gryffindor bravery, that one’s afraid of her own shadow.”

The table erupted in laughter until a furious looking Draco bellowed, “That will be enough Miss Flint unless you would like your first night in this castle spend in detention. That goes for the rest of you as well.” With that the table was silent once more and the Sorting hat continued shuffling the new students into their houses.

Once in the hallway Dumbledore turned toward Rose and asked, “So my dear would you mind telling me why you don’t wish to be a Gryffindor?”

The young girl looked back up at Dumbledore before saying, “I don’t want to be apart from my brother, and my mother won’t understand she expected me to be in Slytherin. She’ll be ashamed of me and so will my brother.

Dumbledore smiled at the young girl as he said, “There is nothing to be ashamed of my dear, but in all my years here and it has been many, the sorting hat has never been wrong.”

Rose’s eyes fell to the ground as she replied, “There is not thing wrong with Griffindor sir, it’s just that my brother is in Slytherin and we’ve never been apart.”

Dumbledore knelt down by the girl and said, “Some of the greatest witches and wizards, myself included, have come from Gryffindor. There is certainly no shame in being sorted into that house.”

Rose blushed as she said, “No disrespect sir but the hat even said my mother was known as the smartest witch to pass through this school, so I know Slytherin produces equally fine students.”

Dumbledore eyed the girl closely before saying, “Each and every house has its merits my dear, just out of curiosity who is your mot”
”

Rose smiled as she said, “Pansy Parkinson Nott”

Dumbledore’s eyes twinkled as he asked, “Did the hat tell you anything else?”

The young girl thought about it for a moment before saying, “It said it knew who I was, and that it couldn’t put me where I wanted to be. It also said something about there noting being a Potter or Weasel but I’m not sure what that meant.”

Dumbledore chuckled as he said, “I think you mean Weasley”

The young blonde nodded as she asked, “Yes that was it. What are they anyway?”

Dumbledore replied, “They are most likely Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Two students your mother went to school with.”

Rose thought for a moment before saying, “I’ve heard mother talk about them, she didn’t care for them in school. Why would the hat want to put me with them? It made it sound as if I would be disappointed they weren’t here.”

Once again Dumbledore’s eyes twinkled as he said, “It seems the hat knows more than it is letting on. Perhaps you and I could sit down sometime and discuss a few things, but I believe for now we should head back inside.”

Rose once again looked frightened as she asked, “Do I have to sit with them?”

Dumbledore took her hand and nodded, “Yes my dear but I promise they won’t bite. The sorting hat has never been wrong before, and after talking with you, I am even more certain it has once again chosen wisely.”

The doors of the great hall were once again opened as the two made their way inside. With a bit of encouragement from the headmaster Rose took a seat amongst the Gryffindors. The sorting had concluded by the time they entered the hall so Dumbledore took his usual spot at the head table and nestled himself between Minerva and Hermione.

Without so much as a glance at Draco or Hermione He began his welcoming speech. “Welcome everyone to another fine year at Hogwarts. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Albus Dumbledore and I am Headmasof tof this fine establishment. The beautiful woman to my right is Minerva McGonagall your transfiguration teacher as well as the assistant headmaster. Your other professors this year will be Hermione Malfoy who is head of Gryffindor house and will be teaching potions, Pamona Sprout head of Hufflepuff house who will be teaching herbology, Filius Flitwick head of Ravenclaw house who will be teaching charms, Draco Malfoy head of Slytherin house who will be teaching Defense against the dark arts, Sibyll Trelawney teaching divinations, Rubeus Hagrid teaching care of magical creatures, Rolanda Hooch teaching flying lessons, Professor Binns teaching history of magic, Professor Vector teaching arithmancy, and Arabella Figg who will be teaching muggle studies. . I also have several other important announcements. This year like every year I must remind all students, the Forbidden Forest is just that Forbidden. Last but not least for those you that have not already heard your Head Girl this year is Jane Shackbolt of Ravenclaw and Head Boy is Jasper Sprout of Hufflepuff. . In the absence of a professor they have full authority to hand out punishments. They are also your student representatives, so any concerns you have about the school should be brought to their attention or to the attention of your house prefects. Now I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m famished. Let’s eat.” As always the tables filled with a feast like none other.

Once Albus took his seat Hermione quickly turned to him and asked, “What did you find out about her? Is it them? The other set of twins were black. So the Notts, it has to be them. Is it them?”

Dumbledore chuckled as he said, “If you’d let me get a word in edgewise I might be able to tell you. I think there is indeed a strong possibility that they are our missing twins but I need to look into it a bit more.”

Hearing the conversation Draco leaned in and asked, “What did she say Albus?”

His eyes twinkled as he said, “Seeing how I would like to finish my dinner, why don’t the two of you meet me in my office after you’ve escorted your students to their rooms.”
