Harry Potter and Changing Destinies

Chapter 6

Ali put her mirror down trying to make sense of everything that Harry had told her. She knew that Harry spoke the truth yet she couldn’t believe that the truth had been kept from them for so long.

Why had her parents kept the truth from them when Harry had started staying with her? Why had she not gone to Hogwarts?

Ali was so caught up in thoughts she was unaware of her door opening. Draco walked into Ali’s room when his knock went unanswered.

“Ali?”

Ali never looked up or acknowledged that Draco was in the room. Concerned he walked over to her bed and sat down next to her. Placing his hand on her shoulder he tried again.

“Ali is everything okay?”

“Hmmm? Oh Draco I’m sorry I didn’t realize you were here.”

“Are you okay?”

Ali scooted backwards on her bed until she was leaning against her headboard with her legs stretched out in front of her. Patting the space next to her, she waited until Draco had moved to sit beside her before she spoke.

“Yes and no. Before I tell you what’s wrong I need to tell you about my relationship with Harry.”

Draco winced, he had managed to not think about her relationship with Potter.

“What about it? It was fairly obvious that you two are very close.”

“We are but not for the reason that you think. When Harry and I were thirteen Dumbledore brought him here for the summer. I had always assumed that it was because Sirius was hiding here. Harry and I clicked and being very good friends Sirius gave us communicator mirrors when he went back to Hogwarts for the Triwizard tournament. We talked every night and our friendship deepened. That’s how I knew so much.”

“So when did you discover that you loved him?” Draco asked fearing the worst.

Ali laughed, “Oh that was easy. I’ve loved him since I met him and yet there was never any thing romantic between us.”

She giggled at the look of shock on Draco’s face, “You mean to tell me that you have never thought about Potter in that? Come on, Ali I find that very hard to believe.”

“Its true Drac. I love Harry yes but I have always thought of him as a brother. I’ll admit he is hot but I couldn’t even begin to think of kissing him.”

“Drac?” Draco asked raising an eyebrow.

“Is that okay? You call me Ali.”

“Its fine. So what happened to get you so upset?”

“Well Harry just contacted me. He was at Gringotts. Although I don’t know why and had just found out that he is now Lord Potter-Black. He was in the Potter Family vault and found his family tree. He is descended from Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw.”

“He really is the Gryffindor Golden Boy isn’t he?”

“Drac stop. Anyway he is the heir of Gryffindor.”

“Not Ravenclaw?”

“No. Apparently the heir of Ravenclaw inheritance has to be inherited by the heir of Gryffindor’s sister.”

“Potter doesn’t have a sister.”

“No he doesn’t exactly.”

“What do you mean?”

“Harry had a cousin who is the heir. When she was born her mother, who was the twin sister of Harry’s father by the way, and James had a ceremony making Harry and his cousin brother and sister.”

“You’re his sister, aren’t you?”

“Yes I am. Is that a problem?” Alexis asked, concerned with the large smile that appeared on Draco’s face.

“No quite the opposite really.”

“Oh? And why is that?”

Draco didn’t answer, he just slid his hand around Ali’s neck and pulled her face towards him. Ali’s eyes fluttered shut.

“Open your eyes Ali I want you to see me as I kiss you.”

Ali opened her eyes as Draco covered her mouth with his. His arms closed around her pulling her close to his body. Ali wound her arms around Draco’s neck. She groaned as he pulled away to look her in the eyes.

“Harry isn’t going to interrupt us this time is he?”

“He better not. I may be his sister but I can still kick his ass. Now shut up and kiss me, Drac.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Draco twisted their bodies so that Ali was laying down and he was slightly on top of her. He lowered his mouth to hers again. Running his tongue over her bottom lip he silently asked for permission. Ali moaned as Draco’s tongue entered her mouth. Their tongues battled for dominance as Ali matched Draco stroke for stroke.

Ali couldn’t believe how good it felt to have Draco’s body pressing hers into her bed. His hands felt like fire as they caressed their way along her body. Her hands started their own exploration running down his back. Draco pulled his mouth away to kiss her neck. Ali’s head fell to the side to allow him greater access. She gasped as Draco’s hand covered her breast. She arched her back into his hand pulling his mouth back to hers.

As the need for oxygen became to great Draco pulled his mouth away from Ali. Gasping for air he looked down at her face flushed from arousal.

“Ali?”

Ali opened her eyes. Draco saw the concealed desire in her eyes and groaned to himself. If he had any hope of stopping he had to do it now.

“Ali have you ever had a boyfriend before?”

“No.”

Draco pulled away from her and sat on the edge of the bed. He had figured as much but didn’t want it to be true. Ali was no one night stand. She was an heiress well known in both worlds and sister to the Savior of the Wizarding World to boot. If he wanted to continue he had to be more sure of his feelings.

“Drac? What’s wrong?” Ali asked sitting next to him placing her hand on his leg. She tried to hide her hurt when Draco pulled away from her and stood up. Tears filled her hazel-green eyes as she looked up at him.

“What did I do wrong Drac? I thought that you liked what we were doing.”

Draco stopped pacing and looked at her. He felt his heart break as she struggled to hold back her tears.

“Bloody hell. Ali I’m sorry I did like what we did but I shouldn’t have done that.”

“Why not? Its not like you forced me. I thought we liked each other?”

“I do like Ali. Hell I really like you. I was so jealous of you relationship with Harry it wasn’t even funny, but the problem is that you are innocent. I can’t finish what we started. It wouldn’t be right. Besides do you even know what would have happened if I hadn’t stopped?”

He was surprised when Ali broke out laughing.

“Oh please Drac, I’m seventeen. Do you honestly think that just because I’m still a virgin I’m stupid? I know perfectly well what we were doing and what would happen if we continued. I wanted it! I want you Drac. I want you so bad I dream of you at night and what we just did is tame compared to my dreams. I may have never had a boyfriend before but I know my own mind. I like you and I want to be with you. Besides I highly doubt that you are still a virgin, am I right?”

Draco sighed running his fingers through his platinum hair. He sat down on the floor looking up at her. He didn’t trust himself to be on the bed with her. The desire still coursing through his body was making it hard for him to concentrate. Ali giggled at Draco’s obvious discomfort. She had felt the proof of his desire for her as they kissed and she could tell that Draco was still aroused. He glared at her as he tried to get comfortable.

“You’re right I’m not a virgin Ali but you are different.”

“How? Obviously you fucked a girl before so what makes me different?”

“You aren’t common. You are a lady literally.”

“So? Aren’t you the heir to the Malfoy title?”

“Yes but I’m a bloke Ali,” at her look of disgust he rushed to explain.

“In the old pureblood families, especially the titled families, certain things were expected. Boys were taught to value women of their class and to respect them. Also it would fall to the husband to teach his wife all about pleasure.”

“Sounds like an excuse for boys to go out and fuck whoever they want to me.”

“No its not. I haven’t been with that many girls, only two actually. Both of them carefully chosen by my father to best teach me how to make love to my wife so that she learns to enjoy it. Pureblood witches are expected to come to their marriage virgins. Even though you aren’t a witch you come from two old and very distinguished families. You are titled in your own right and are the sister to one of the most powerful wizards alive. My father would cut off my bits and feed them to me for breakfast if I took advantage of you.”

“And if I was a witch? What would you do then?” Ali asked.

“Court you,” Draco replied simply.

“Would you court me if I wasn’t?”

Draco thought for a moment, “I would. I really like you and other then not having any magic you fit every qualification that my father has for me.”

“Oh nice, I fit what Lucius wants for his son’s wife” Ali replied sarcastically but before Draco could say anything continued on, “What I want to know is if I fit what you would want? Do I?”

Draco was silent for a few moments but replied calmly with total confidence in his answer, “Yes. You’re strong-willed, determined, don’t take any crap from anyone, you’re lovely inside and out, you’re courageous, talented, you’re your own person, you don’t let others define you. That’s just a few reasons, but yes are you, why do you ask?”

“Well…” Ali said but broke off but then shook herself and said straight out, “Well then it’s a good thing for you that I am actually a witch.”

“WHAT!?!”

“Yep that’s what Harry called to tell me. I am actually a witch. My magic was blocked after Moldyshorts came to power the first time because Harry and I were so powerful. Dumbledore was the one who placed the bind on my magic so once he died the bind has started to break,” she looked at Draco who had tears in his eyes from holding back his laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

“Moldyshorts?”

“Oh yeah that. That’s what Sirius called Voldemort.”

“I love it. So you have power? I knew it! I could feel it yet it wasn’t a part of you. Yet now it is. Have you tried any magic yet?”

“Get your wand and I’ll show you how I found out. Oh never mind I’ll get it.”

Ali held out her hand, “Accio Draco’s wand!”

Draco watched in amazement as his wand came flying through the air into Ali’s hand. She handed it to him and said, “Now throw some kind of hex or jinx at me.” She stood up and faced him, “Oh yeah move out of the way after you do. Just ask Harry,” she finished when she saw Draco’s look of confusion.

“Okay. Stupefy!” Draco yelled. He watched as the red beam of light headed towards Ali. He leapt out of the way as Ali’s hand came up and his stunning beam came back at him.

“You can do a wandless, wordless Protego?”

“Yes. I stunned Harry with that literally,” Ali said sitting down on the floor next to Draco.

“That’s not all Drac. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were elementals. He could control fire, which Harry can do, and she could control water, which I have inherited. However the elemental power became much stronger than anyone could imagine in Harry and I. Harry has the ability to throw fire and I will have the ability to throw ice.”

“What do you mean you will?”

“From what Harry told me I have to go to Gringotts and claim my heritage as Ravenclaw’s heir before my elemental powers will be released. He also wants you to help train me in magical dueling once I go to Ollivander’s and get a wand.”

Draco stood and pulled Ali to her feet, “Great let’s get started,” as they walked out the room Draco looked over at her and smiled. “You know my father was wrong about you. You are not as cold as ice.”

Ali laughed understanding where he was going with this talk and finished for him, “No, I can just throw it.”
