accio love.

Danika Tonks walked side by side with her sister, and her godsister, as the Order delivered them, along with her god brother who was behind them with Mad-Eye Moody. Harry Potter, Grace Potter, and the girl no one knew existed: Danika Black. As the group began to pass a small waiting room Dani noticed a scruffy black dog passing by them. Rolling her eyes with a sigh, she nudged her sister. "Dora - get the door." She muttered, ushering the dog and Harry into to closed off waiting room. "Grace, you coming?" Dani glanced up at the girl.

Draco stood in silence as his boarded the train. He couldn't wait until he no longer had to attend this stupid school. Glancing back he noticed Potter, being ushered into a small glass room with a black dog and his sister. Shaking his head he sighed. That kid had way too good of a life. Even his own parents constantly discussed how important he was. He hated it... And he despised Harry.

Grace Potter, the slightly less famous, though not by much, of the two Potter siblings, had not expected to be escorted to King's Cross by the Order, much less that she and her brother would be receiving any sort of an escort at all. Granted, much of what had occurred that summer, more recently the Dementor attack in Little Whinging that Harry and their cousin had been involved in, along with some of the other more recent events weren't exactly expected either. She knew that this year was going to be a tense one, what with what the Prophet was saying about her brother and Dumbledore, and it was clear what her stance on the whole issue was. Of course she believed her brother. She knew that he wouldn't lie about Voldemort returning, and she knew how Cedric's death had impacted him. He wasn't a mental case like the prophet was saying, and, in all honesty, she thought Fudge to be a bit of a coward. The man was clearly in denial, or too stubborn for his own good anyway, and she wondered what it would take for him to see that everything of what both Harry and Dumbledore were saying was true.

She'd been quiet up until the moment that she noticed the scruffy-looking black dog pass by them, roughly around the same time that her brother and god sister did, she reckoned. Letting out a quiet snort, a small smirk graced her lips. It really didn't come as much of a surprise to her that Sirius had shown up. It was roughly around that same time, that she glanced around the crowded station and spotted a familiar head of white blonde hair. For a brief moment, the youngest, only by a few seconds, Potter sibling, locked eyes with Malfoy. It was extremely brief though, as Grace's attention was soon drawn back over to her god sister and brother who were both entering a closed off waiting room, quite obviously to speak with Sirius without drawing any obvious attention to themselves. "Yeah, sorry. Must've zoned out for a moment there." She sent a small, sheepish, smile Danika's way before entering the waiting room.

Danika Tonks was one of the few people Fred Weasley would openly admit to thinking was nearly as good of a prankster as he and his brother were. Nearly as good were the key words in that statement though. The three were normally practically inseparable, they could usually be found planning out different pranks they would execute throughout the school year, and Fred was hoping that they could put some of his and George's new products to good use this year. It was strange to think that this would be the last year that they could, in the best way possible, torment the first years. While he was certain he was ready to finish the last of his schooling at Hogwarts, it was, in a way, almost bittersweet. He didn't want to think about that too much right now though, he hadn't even gotten on the train yet.

"Behave you two." Molly said, pointing an accusing finger at him and George, causing an identical mischievous grin to cross both of their faces. "Dunno what you're talking about, mum. We're always on our best behavior, aren't we, Georgie?" Fred said, glancing over to his twin with a wide grin on his face. "Fred's right, mum. We're always on our best behavior. I mean, we've only planned to blow up two toilet seats this year. I reckon that's a new record for us, don't you?"

After making sure that the door was shut and guarded, Danika whipped around and raised her eyebrows at her father. Not only was he a convicted felon that everyone was looming for, but with Voldemort coming back last year everyone is on edge for Harry. Any turn could be dangerous - which is why the three of them had been escorted to Kings Cross. Something that Dani wasnt very happy about, considering she liked boarding the train with Fred and George. It was tradition, and this was their last year.

"Dad, what the hell do you think you're doing? Do you know how dangerous it is? You could be seen!!" Danika scolded her father, who just smiled and shook his head. He repeated the same line he had just given to Harry, as he embraced her. "Sweetheart... I had to see you off. The three you."

---

While Harry Potter was the bane of Draco's existence, his sister Grace had the opposite effect. He hated Harry, with a passion, but he couldn't keep the younger brunette off his mind for more than a few minutes. Grace was smart, and far more cunning than anyone cared to admit. She was absolutely stunning - enough to make any boy go mad - and if she wasn't a Gryffindor he would have gone for her by now.

As he stared towards the group, the girl in question loomed up out of her daze and her eyes locked with his, but only for a moment before she was closed into whatever room for whatever reason with her twin brother and god sister, his own cousin, Danika. Now that girl was a funny story. But, much like her father, Sirius, and Draco's aunt, Andromeda, she disgraced the family name.... A blood traitor.

When it came to Draco Malfoy, Grace really didn't know where she stood. He obviously wasn't her brother's biggest fan, and her brother obviously wasn't Malfoy's either, however his distaste for Harry didn't seem to carry over to her. The thing was, although they shared the same last name, they were two very different people. Though both could be equally as stubborn and hard-headed at times, they also couldn't be any more different. Of course, both obviously shared some qualities and personality traits, as they had both been sorted into Gryffindor for that exact reason, but she didn't share her brother's distaste for a certain Slytherin. She saw no reason to. He'd never done her any wrong, and, to be perfectly honest, she didn't really understand why her brother seemed so convinced that any, and all, Slytherins were bad. Sure, quite a few of them were, but, not all of them. She didn't think that Draco Malfoy was one of the bad ones, he'd given her no reason to believe so. Needless to say, she and her brother saw things, and people very differently at times.

Right now though, they both seemed to be on the same page, shocked that their god father would risk being seen in public, and concerned for someone who had become the closest thing they both had to a parent. "We're glad you came to see us off, we just don't want to see you end up in Azkaban again." She chimed in.

Fred couldn't believe that it was his, George and Danika's last year at Hogwarts. It felt strange to say the least and, though he hated to admit it, he'd probably miss the place quite a lot once the end of the school year rolled around. It kind of grew on you after a while, and it served as a home away from home in a way. It wasn't just his last year of schooling, it was his last year playing on the quidditch team, his last year pranking first years with Danika and George, and so many other lasts as well. It would be the end of many different traditions including the one today. Though it wasn't too much of a tradition , as they all had to get on that train either way, he, Danika and George always sat together on the train ride there and back home as well. It only seemed fitting to all of them seeing as that was where he and George first met her when they were all wide-eyed first years themselves.

So much had changed in the last couple of years, but there were a lot of things that still held true as well. This year was going to be bittersweet, but it was also going to be the best one yet. Fred knew for a fact that there was no way in hell that the three of them weren't going to go out without some sort of a bang. It was just a matter of what that bang ended up being.

"Don't worry about me." Danika shook her head as her father spoke to the three of them. Mostly he was addressing Harry and Grace. But still, Dani listened along "Anyway, I wanted you to have this. Original Order of the Phoenix. Marlene McKinnon. She was killed two weeks after this was taken. Voldemort wiped out her entire family. Frank and Alice Longbottom. Neville's parents. They suffered a fate worse than death, you ask me." Sirius explained, pausing as he reached the twins parents. Dani looked down, it was unfair how she could remember James and Lily and Harry and Grace couldn't. "It's been 14 years. And still a day doesn't go by I don't miss your dad." Dani looked away from the trio, tears in her own eyes as she stared at the picture. There was a reason that her father pointed out Marlene... And it wasnt just becuse she was Lily's best friend.

"Weasley." Draco seethed as he ran into the two redhead seventh years. "Still using hand me downs I see, thlugh ita truely amazing youre even still in scool, considering you spend your days goofing off with my cousin." he smirked. Draco could admit to himself that he wasnt in the best of moods, and he knew what he was about to say could get him in a lot of trouble, but he just didnt care. "Thats a fun little threesome you have going on. Now heres the real prize - which one of you is going to get tired of sharing her first?"

Grace took a seat next to her brother, looking over his shoulder at the picture their god father had just handed him. She spotted their parents easily. It saddened and frustrated her all at the same time that she'd only ever really know them as people in photographs she was shown. Of course, she knew that it was the same for Harry, but that didn't make it any easier. They weren't the only ones lost the last time there was a war though, and that was even more apparent as Sirius pointed out different people in the picture. "Do you really think there's going to be a war, Sirius?" Her brother's words mirrored the thoughts in Grace's head. It sure as hell seemed like it to her, and she didn't quite know what to make of it. She could just tell that things were going to be different from here on out. Less simple. More chaotic. Less predictable too.

---

While there was one person that Fred was hoping to run into on the way to the train, there was also one he was hoping not to run into. He couldn't stand Malfoy any more than the rest of his family could. The bloke was a complete twat. He rolled his eyes in response to the hand-me-down comment. That one had gotten old ages ago. "Sod off, Malfoy." He shot back, about to just push past and head to an empty compartment with George and wait there for Dani. But then the git continued on and started talking about her. He didn't care what Malfoy said about him, but, when he started saying shit about Dani, that was an entirely different story in and of itself. He certainly wasn't going to just let this comment slide either. Not by a long-shot. "Don't you talk about her like that." He growled.

Looking back at her father, her own mind echoing the words Harry spoke. All she wanted now was to spend the rest of the day with her best friends and have an amazing final year at school. "It feels like it did before." Sirius nodded slowly, the silence overbearing as Harry attempted to hand over the picture. "You keep it. Anyway, I suppose you're the young ones now." He smiled at them, his eyes lingering on his daughter. "Now lets get going - don't wanna miss the train." He ushered the group out.

"Dad... Promise me you'll stay hidden... And you won't go looking for trouble. Please... I don't wanna lose you." Danika lingered, stopping her father before he became Padfoot.

---

"And why not. Everyone knows she's sleeping with the both of you. Disgraced her whole family by doing so but at least the two of you are getting a fan good price of ass." Draco chuckled. Rumor has it that she was sleeping with both of the Weasley twins - course no one believed it. The girl obviously had eyes for Fred, and the only people who didn't know that were Danika and Fred.

"At least you're Pure bloods. She could be doing much worse than a blood traitor." Draco continued, moving to walk passed the two twins who were obviously pissed off, one more so than the other

Grace knew the answer before her god father even said anything. It was fairly obvious just how different things were already. She could just feel it, and she knew that things were going to continue to change. The wizarding world was about to be in the midst of yet another war, whether people, like Fudge, wanted to believe it or not. She allowed Sirius to usher them out, pausing a few feet away for her god sister to speak to him one last time before they all boarded the train. "C'mon, Dani, wouldn't want you to miss the train your last year." She said, sending a small smile her god sister's way.

---

There was never a time where Fred wanted to punch the git in the face more than he did now. Malfoy could say whatever he wanted about him, but he wasn't going to sit back and let him say horrible shit about Dani as well. It was fairly obvious that what Malfoy was saying was getting to him more than it was George, though his twin was getting rather ticked off by what the twat was saying as well. "Shut your mouth, Malfoy before I do it for you." He spat. He knew that they hadn't even boarded the train or gotten to the school yet, and his mum would kill him if he got into any sort of trouble already, but he was so tempted to teach the twat a lesson and punch him in his pretty little face. So tempted. Instead, he maintained composure as best as he could, and allowed him to pass. Next time, he wasn't going to stop himself though.

Dani nodded towards her godsister, giving her father a long hug before following the others away and off the the train. The first thing she saw as she crossed over to the platform was two very tall heads with red hair, both of whom seemed pissed. A giant grin spread across her face as she ran over to and jumped on one of the twins. "Freddie!!" she exclaimed, hugging her best friend.

---

Draco heard an excited yell and turned his head to see Danika all but takling the twins he was just talking to. Not far behind her was another set of twins, though this pair... He didnt completely hate them both. Grace Potter was standing several feet from him, along with her brother. Draco just shook his head and turned away, he wasnt even on the train yet... And his parents were still there. The last thing he needed was his father noticing that he had eyes for the younger Potter.

Grace was the next one to cross over to the platform after her god sister. She spotted the twins rather quickly as well, something was clearly off with them as they both seemed to be a bit peeved about something, though she also noticed a certain Slytherin again. And again, they locked eyes momentarily, this time much more briefly than the last as he turned away from her not long after. She still didn't know entirely what she thought of Malfoy. She didn't think he was as much of a git as her brother thought he was, but, then again, she'd only spoken to him on a small handful of different occasions. On those few occasions though, he hadn't seemed all that bad.

---

Fred was momentarily distracted when he heard an excited shout. He recognized the voice shouting his name, though it only registered with him briefly before Dani was practically tackling him. He chuckled softly, hugging her back. "I reckon you must've missed me or something, Dan." He said, grinning slightly as he pulled back. The bad mood Malfoy had put him in, had dissipated for the time being, though he hadn't forgotten what the git was saying about Dani. He wasn't about to forget something like that.

Double

"Of COURSE I missed you Freddie! We always board the train together." Danika smiled, jumping down off him. Rolling her eyes at him she turned and wrapped her arms around George's neck. "Hey Georgie boy." Pulling away she turned back to be sure Harry and Grace had crossed over. The twins were no longer her responsibility - they could keep themselves safe and she could enjoy her final train ride. "So boys - what are we planning this year? Surely it will be memorable?"

---

Draco gave a final nod to his parents as he stepped onto the train, quickly making his way to his favorite carriage. Closing the door he sighed, plopping into the seat. Over the summer Voldemort had taken up residence in his parents house, and he didn't like it one bit. The man scared him way too much, and he was scared his parents would make him become a death eater - that was the last thing he wanted, despite that it's what everyone expected of him.

Draco Malfoy intrigued Grace. While he was always rather awful towards her brother and his friends, and most Gryffindors for that matter, he had never really said a single nasty to her. Of course, she didn't know if he just didn't talk badly to her face, but she figured word would eventually get back to her if he had, so she was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he hadn't. It was a bit strange to say the least, though she never actually voiced the fact that the Slytherin prince made her curious and she certainly never spoke a word of how she actually found him rather attractive. She knew better than to do so, and so, she kept most of those thoughts to herself. "Come on, we should go try to find the others." She said to her brother before boarding the train.

---

"I was beginning to worry that you'd forgotten about that." Fred told her, letting out a soft chuckle. He set her down, ruffling her hair up playfully before boarding the train. He wasn't going to say a word about what her cousin had been saying about her earlier. He knew that Malfoy wasn't worth it, though that didn't mean that what the git had said about Dani hadn't at least pissed him off. It had, and if he ever heard the twat saying anything bad about her again, he was going to personally wipe that smirk off of his face. "Isn't it always?"

Draco sat in silence as his housemates chatted around him. His eyes focused on the window, where Grace stood with her brother. She was attpemting to pull him off in some direction - probably to find their friends. Shaking his head he looked around the carriage - none of the girls even came close to the level of attractiveness he felt towards Grace... Doesnt mean he hadnt slept with one or two over summer - Namely Pansy. Still - not one of them had a thing on the female Potter.

---

"How could i possibly forget that?" Danika shook her head, rolling her eyes. Pulling on Fred's arm she started leading the two boys towards the train. "Come on - quickly or we wont get a good spot!" she exclaimed. The majority of the student body was still on the platform so they had plenty of time to board but not if they wanted a decent private carriage, Lee Jordan could find them later on so she wasnt worried about him. "And of course its always memorable... But this is our LAST year! If you wanna be as infamous as the Marauders it has gotta be good!"

@ the corpse bride.

There was something about the Slytherin Prince that intrigued Grace. She didn't quite understand why he was fairly civil with her but completely horrid when it came to her brother and friends. It didn't make much sense to her at all, though she wasn't about to question it, and she certainly wasn't about to bring it up to her brother and friends. They all saw Malfoy as a git, and nothing more. "Hermione and Ron are in the prefects carriage, I believe, but I'm sure that the others are around here somewhere." She said as she and her brother walked in search for their friends and fellow Gryffindors.

---

"That's very true, Dani. Very, very true." Fred said as they walked. He had a few tricks up his sleeve, though the train ride to Hogwarts was normally spent coming up with some sort of a game plan with George and Danika. She was right though, this year had to be really good. They had to go out with a bang if they wanted to become as infamous as the Marauders had. "Well, do you have any ideas? I know Georgie and I have a few, but I would love to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours." Grinning slightly, he ruffled her hair once more.

"Freeeddd...." Dani whined, fixing her hair as best she could. " It took me two hours to get my hair right. Don't mess it up!" She sighed. Turning to George she pursed her lips, shaking her head. "I ALWAYS come up with the plan. Why don't you tell me what you guys are thinking?" She questioned, looking back at Fred. One thing she had want to try for sure was the portable swamp... They just needed to finish working out all the kinks.

---

Draco stood, sick of the company around him, and exited the Slytherin filled carriage. He and Pansy had to attend the prefects meeting and then patrol to corridors. He has already spoken with the head boy, a Slytherin, and he had agreed to let him have the first patrol. Strolling to the prefects carriage he couldn't help but notice Grace and her brother searching for a carriage for themselves.
