The Flip of a Coin

Chapter 6

Harry sighed. He'd been sent to Dumbledore again. He was really fed up with the old coot. It was always, "Bla, bla, bla, I'm very disappointed in you. Fighting with Mr. Malfoy again..." Well of course he was going to bash his skull in! He said Hermione was a hooker! In the Sleazy Wiz Bar!

Now there's a thought... Hermione in a miniskirt...mmm...Wait a minute... Hermione?!

Voldie hugged his nephew to him tightly, before holding him at arms length.

"Hey! Oh. My. God. You will not believe what I heard!" He paused dramatically.

"What? Oooh is it really good?" the boy asked with a giggle.

Voldie laughed and nodded, throwing the boy onto the bed, kneeling by the side of him.

"Picture this," he said, his hand waving to make colours float through the air.

"Harry Potter..." A golden lion formed. "And Ginny Weasley..."

The boy gasped, a hand to his heart. "No way!" he cried. "That is like, totally, not cool! She's like, totally, gorgeous! I've got to have her..."

She walked through the halls of Hogwarts, head held high, hips swinging more than humanly possible, all eyes on her. Or maybe just her legs. But anyhow, there she was, making her way to Gryffindor table. She spotted his mess of dark hair, and made her way over, a smirk on her face. She stopped right behind his chair, placing two delicate hands on his shoulders, lowering her lips to his neck, ignoring the wolf whistles.

"Hey babe," she whispered, in her just-for-you-sexy voice, but she felt a cold pair of eyes on her, looking up to see Draco Malfoy glaring at her. She straightened up, ignoring her victim's terrified expression, raising an eyebrow at him. She was just about to make her way over when Dumbledore stood at the teacher's table, and smashed a glass on the table to get everyone's attention. Ginny found a seat, snorting as Hermione whispered something about "house elves having to clear that up."

He jumped from foot to foot, waiting in the secret backroom that led directly to the teacher table, listening carefully as Dumbledore began his speech.

"Today is a very special day," he began, "As you all know, Lord Voldemort is back, back again, and it is said that one should tell one's friends. Well, no one believed me or Harry, so I decided to prove it."

A murmur went through the halls, and Harry Potter frowned as someone shouted out, "Why? You gonna show us him or something?"

Dumbledore was unfazed. "Well, I would like you to meet someone very special. Witches and wizards of Hogwarts School, I give you.... my brother."

Crap, thought Voldie, That's my cue. And they're all laughing!

Indeed they were, so he raised a hand, and smashed his way through the door, looking satisfied as the laughs stopped rather abruptly. He smiled widely, taking a bow, and looked directly from Draco to Ginny, raising an eyebrow and winking, before walking to Dumbledore's side, embracing him like, well, a brother.
