The morning of the second task came steadily. The field was quiet and Estella almost believed McGonagall was going to use her for Harry's treasure, but it seemed she worried for naught. The Merchieftainess, Murcus told Dumbledore that she out flat refused to tie down the girl; that they had an unspoken alliance that gained peace between the Selkies and the Giant Squid. He sighed and ordered for the red haired boy to be taken in her stead. 

The old wizard comes to be more and more hateful whenever the bi-colored brunette is mentioned. Even his students have come to adore the girl and she hadn't even been around for more than a few months. He wanted them to look at him with stars in their eyes like they did before. As the children grew older, their innocence turned around and they no longer care for his powerful titles or magic. They avoided him and called him an "old codger," or a "seneil washed up grump." 

When he stepped to the Black Lake with the rest of the students, his 'most hated' was already there, holding a small jar with a bug inside. He watched as she grinned and sent it away with a black cloud swirling around it. 

"Hello, sister." Draco greeted with a small joking bow. The slytherins looked at him in surprise. The two siblings agreed yesterday that it was time to admit that their twins to everyone slowly, but not to the point where it would be announced in the papers; which is why Estella was quick to capture a certain reporter beforehand. "Greetings, brother dearest. How are you this fine morning?" Her posh words were spoken with a hidden smirk. "Just fine, and you? Aren't you cold?" 

"I am dead, brother. A little chill in the air never bothered me. Even if it did-" A large mug appeared in her hands. "I've got Charlotte sending me hot chocolates whenever I want." She smiled. "Would you like one, Dray?" With his small nod, she wrote a note and it faded into nothing. Moments later, another mug appeared in her hand while 3 suckles and 1 knut left her pocket. She still has to pay after all. 

"This is just as good as I remember." He accustomed to the hot liquid after the first few sips, reminiscing the first time he and Estella had officially met. 

"-Woah woah woah- You have a sister? Why wasn't this mentioned... i don't know, through the whole summer? Or any time that i've met you through your entire life?!" Pansy shrieked, embarrassed that she ever thought that Draco was "with" this girl.

"Well, for one, he doesn't owe you anything... and two, we didn't know until sometime this July." The attention went to the girl with white and brown frosted hair. She was nicely dressed, not like a student- but a Lady. Her partially white hair flowed back into a chunky headband that matched her bodice while the brown went down her back. A small braid held both colors of hair and kept the headband from sliding out of place. They could definitely see the Black genes, now that they looked for them.  She was absolutely beautiful and the boys grew heart eyes.
