[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
AN: I'VE GOTTEN ALMOST 600 HITS ON THIS FIC!!!!! YAY!!!!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!!!! Here is a cookie of all my faithful and new readers. Keep it up. I hope you all checked out my A.N. last update, or read it before this. If not could you please do after this chapter. It would be nice. After the preview of the next chapter I will have a Poll status. Remember you can vote more than once. If you also haven't noticed, this is not one of those Fanfics where the people get together quickly. Draco has an icicle shoved up his @$$, and won't just fall in love out of thin air. They will end up together eventually. This just means it will be a long and interesting Fanfic. Oh and I kinda changed this chapter's a little bit. Not too much, just one word.

*Scene Change*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~The Gryffindor Misfit~
Recap:
“Have a good day my dear.” He smiled at her before turning back to the Essays.
There was someone now behind the door, but Brittany did not notice it. “See you later dad!” She called out happily before opening the door. In front of her stood Blaise Zabini, his mouth was agape.
“Professor Snape's your father?” Blaise gaped in amazement.
Brittany turned sheet white, before whispering. “Oh crap.”
End Recap:
Chapter Five: Secrets Lives and Dinner
“Um, Zabini, I can explain!” Brittany stammered trying to find a lie good enough to cover her slip up. She shut the door quickly after Faia flew off in the direction of the Gryffindor Tower.
“Brittany let it go. He found out, and now we must explain.” Snape told her sternly.
“What? I can't even try to lie? That's not fair!” Brittany whined, pouting cutely at her father.
“Stop trying to give me that puppy dog pout. You know that I am immune to your faces, unlike Potter and the Weasley's.” Snape sighed rolling his eyes at her.
Blaise looked utterly lost. Have I stepped into the Twilight Zone? “Huh?”
“Please sit Mr. Zabini, there is much we need to discuss.” Blaise nodded slightly as he and Brittany sat down in chairs in front of Snape.
“What is going on here Professor?” Asked Blaise curious over the new information he had accidentally learned. He swore the Twilight Zone theme song was playing in the back of his mind.
“Brittany is my daughter, as you heard. Unfortunately due to many circumstances we have had to cover that up.” Snape told him also regaining his seat.
“So Christopher Kai is not your dad?” Blaise asked Brittany, confused. “But he even said he was. And what about all that stuff in Professor Umbridge's class?”
“He's my adoptive father, not my biological one. So he is my dad, and his brother is my Uncle, but not by blood. He has always hated Umbridge. He's known her ever since his brother became Minister of Magic.” Brittany clarified not happy she had to reveal her secret.
“So that's why you took points from Draco for almost killing Kai. It was simply because she was your daughter, and you wanted to get back at Draco.” Blaise surmised happy he was beginning to understand that mystery at least. Snape gave a short nod of his head to answer `yes.'
Brittany rolled her eyes. “Since we're in my dad's office, it'd be nice if you called me `Brittany' instead of `Kai.' It's less formal and when you know a persons darkest secret, formalities become annoying and worthless.” Brittany told him civilly. She was afraid of how Blaise would act on the new information, and was justly suspicious of him.
Blaise nodded his head. “Why have you not told anyone?” He asked Brittany. He looked directly into her emerald eyes.
“Unfortunately my dad does not want anyone to use me against him. Especially Voldemort.” Blaise stiffened when she mentioned his name, but relaxed after a moment.
“So you wanted Brittany,” Blaise paused testing out her name, “not to be influenced by You-Know-Who, or for him to blackmail you by using her.”
Snape nodded his head, giving a small smile at the fact that Blaise was not an ignorant fool like another Slytherin's of his. (AN: PANSY!) “That is correct Mr. Zabini. I love my daughter, and with my close ties to both Voldemort and Dumbledore, I need to protect her.” Snape admitted. “It is hard to live each day when things go wrong in my daughters life, and not have the power to comfort her.”
Blaise nodded. “I'd feel horrible if I could not show my niece the affection and love an Uncle should give. I somewhat understand.” Blaise smiled his caramel colored eyes glowed with an air of understanding for a moment. “But why is it that her adoptive father and even the Minister lying for her?”
Brittany decided to talk for a while; her father was not a very social person. “ Because he is still my father. Christopher and dad go back to years spent together in Hogwarts. Cornelius was like an Uncle to me from the start, because he felt that my dad was like a brother to him. As even his adoptive niece I was able to warrant his protection, and his protection was quite necessary.” Brittany explained.
Blaise nodded but there was something eating at him. “Why is she in Gryffindor, and not Slytherin then?” He wondered aloud.
“My mother was a Gryffindor when she went to school with my dad, and I am apparently very much like her. We have the same eyes. The sorting hat saw my more innocent and dominant traits as a Gryffindor, and only just recently have my more Slytherin like qualities immerged. Or so dad says.” Brittany smiled at him happily. She loved knowing she was able to remind her father about her mother. It made her feel happy making him smile. He was always such a stiff.
Blaise just kept nodding, trying to keep up with all the information that was being thrown at him. He did look confused as something hit him. “Why do you allow her to hang around…”
“Harry?” Brittany interrupted. “It is because my dad asked Harry for him to watch over me. He did not want to ask Harry, but because no one else was kind to me he had no alternative. Harry, Hermione, and Ron know about my secret as well.” Brittany stood up and knelt before Blaise.
“What are you doing?” Blaise gasped at her odd display.
She is such a Drama Queen about this. Just because someone found out about our secret she has to get dramatic over it. She is so much like her mother, and a certain other person I remember. Snape thought shaking his greasy black haired head.
“I am begging you to promise never to reveal what you have just learned to anyone without my father's permission or my own.” Brittany pleaded leaning up to him. “Will you swear your eternal allegiance to me?”
“Brittany Marie!” Professor Snape shot his dark eyes narrowing at her. “Will you stop being so over dramatic.”
“But dad, it's fun!” Brittany reasoned.
Severus Snape shook his head. Why do I have to endure her dramatics. I need to get these Essays done. I love her, but sometimes I want to muzzle that girl.
Blaise looked at Brittany and smiled. He looked at Professor Snape and nodded. “I promise Brittany.” Blaise told her seriously, then he laughed. “I'm not sure on that allegiance thing just yet.”
Snape smiled at him and Brittany jumped up happily, hugging Blaise in her excitement. “Alright well I am off to Dinner! See you around Blaise!” Brittany called out, before waltzing out of the room like a maniac.
After shutting the door behind her, Snape turned dangerous eyes on Blaise, who gulped in return. His caramel eyes widened in fear as Snape's whole demeanor did a 180. “Are you alright Professor?”
“Unfortunately I am not. My daughter has added another to our list of secret holders. I am not thrilled with her lack of discipline. Due to her injury she has been abnormal as of late. Her moods are off the charts, but should return to normal by weeks end.” Snape hissed angrily about his daughters suffering.
“I am sorry for the accident Professor, I tried to stop him.” Blaise tried to defend himself against the obviously over-protective parent.
“I know, and for that you have my thanks. That is not enough though. Now I need you to watch over my daughter as well. I do not have complete faith in Potter and his lot like my daughter seems to have. I need you to protect her when you can, but do not compromise our secret. Can you do this for me?” He asked in a deadly and serious tone.
Blaise was afraid what would happen if he said no. He was also afraid for Brittany herself; she was now a little off because of her head injury. Draco was still out for blood, and with his help Draco might lay off. She was one heck of a chaser, and reminded him of his elder sister. When it came down to make his decision it was quite easy. If he were ever asked to protect his sister he would.
“I will try Professor.” Blaise told Snape after a few moments of consideration.
Snape nodded and picked up an Essay. “Good choice. Looks it's you're paper. I rarely award O's, but I think in light of everything, and if it is a good enough paper, you may get one.” He smirked his brown eyes lighting in amusement. “Only this once though.” Snape warned against Blaise thinking he would be favored.
“Understood.” Blaise nodded as he too left the room.
Snape turned back to the mountain that were his student's Potions Essays. I hate teaching Potions! I want to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts! There's less Essays that I would need to assign! He thought angrily. He shook his head. I am starting to sound like my daughter. He groaned before picking up another paper. Why me?
§Dinner in the Great Hall§
Brittany arrived at the Great Hall, and hurried over to the Trio. Ron was stuffing his face as usual, while arguing with Hermione. Hermione was grimacing at his horrible table manners, and scolding him about it. Harry was trying not to tell them to just kiss each other and eat their food in peace.
Ah! Nothing like friends. Brittany laughed as Harry looked at her pathetically as she sat across from him, next to Hermione. “Ron, I know you weren't raised to eat like Scabbers.” Brittany shot at him.
Ron stopped eating. He looked at her shocked and turned red. Ron tried to defend himself. It would have worked if not for his stuffed mouth. “O, not. I'mve ots or aners hn at ft rat.” (Translation: Do, not. I've got more manners than that fat rat.)
“I rest my case!” Brittany declared triumphantly.
“Thank you!” Harry and Hermione smiled at her appreciably.
“Hermione stop being mean to him. We all know you want Ron. Jeez.” Brittany shot back.
Hermione turned red and could do nothing but stutter. Ron decided to take a shot at her. “What about your lover, Zabini?”
Said male had just walked into the Great Hall and sneezed before heading to the Slytherin table. He gave a slight nod in Brittany's direction before sitting next to a scowling Draco.
Harry was about to yell at Ron for the out-of-line remark. “Ron, that was…” Brittany's next words stopped his line of thinking though.
“Blaise found out about my secret a bit ago actually.” Brittany offered not affected by Ron. Anyone could tell he was trying to make me angry.
“WHAT?!” The two boys yelled. People all over the Great Hall turned to stare at the four.
Brittany glared at both males before throwing everyone an apologetic smile. She turned back to Harry and Ron and was about to tell them off. Hermione decided to put a stop to the fight that would happen soon, before it could.
“Was it an accident?” Hermione asked in a much more civilized tone.
“Yeah, he was outside the door when I was talking to Professor Snape about it.” Brittany told them making sure not to let anyone else around them know anything. Even if they don't look like they are listening I have to be more careful.
Harry sighed and looked at Blaise, who was conveniently looking back at him. Stupid Slytherins. Harry thought annoyed. They never mind their own business. He glared at Blaise quickly before turning back to the others.
“I bet he did it on purpose. So what are we going to do to him?” Ron wondered, excited about the chance to fight someone.
“I'm not mad at him Ron.” Brittany told him. “I don't know what to do about it, but I am not going to let you and Harry try to beat him up.”
“What do you mean try?” Ron asked her accusingly. “You don't actually like him do you?”
“Hermione, please reason with him! If you don't my fist will be reasoning with his face!” Brittany asked her in a barely controlled voice.
“Ronald Weasley I am surprised at you.” She scolded. “Blaise Zabini is friends with Malfoy and his gang. If you were to go after him, you'd be a target for all of Slytherin. She does not want you two to get into trouble over her. You are just so dense.”
Ron glared at Hermione and Brittany angrily. “Whatever.”
Brittany smiled at Hermione. “I'm so proud of you `Mione. I knew you could do it.”
Hermione blushed a little and began picking at her food. “Thank you.” She mumbled.
“I don't trust him.” Harry said suddenly speaking up.
“I'm not sure that I trust him either. Unfortunately he knows, and I am not going to try and piss him off. I don't know what to do right now.” Brittany explained to him kindly, seeing Harry was not thrilled with the situation.
“I'm not sure. I think we should just let this be for right now.” Hermione advised, giving both guys a look. Obviously she was speaking mostly to them.
“I think that we should poison his Pumpkin Juice.” Ron suggested.
“I think you're idea should be poisoned.” Brittany laughed.
“You're a git.” Ron smiled at her.
At least they are only plat arguing now. Harry glanced over at the Slytherin table again. He saw Blaise was smiling while watching Brittany and Ron argue. He began to seethe. If he tells Malfoy, I'll make sure he never talks again. (AN: Harry's scary when he's angry.)
*Slytherin Table*
Blaise was watching Brittany argue with her friends. He chuckled because it was funny to see Harry Potter's gang bicker. Speaking of Potter, he was glaring at Blaise constantly. It was a little unnerving to look up and see Harry Potter giving you a glare that gave Professor Snape's a run for his money.
Draco was busy scowling over the fact that his favorite teacher was making him be nice to `that evil witch.' Unfortunately he was S.O.L, he had almost killed the girl. He didn't want to kill her, only hurt her. Unfortunately his best friend was still not happy with him. He turned to Blaise, only to see him staring, sometimes glaring, at the Gryffindor Table.
What is he staring at? Not that stupid Gryffindor Misfit I hope. He then noticed Harry's glares. Ah, he and Potter are having themselves a glaring contest eh?
Blaise sighed, he's pissed because I know his best friend's secret. Can't he just get over himself? It's not like I'd cross Professor Snape and reveal his and his daughter's darkest secret. Blaise began picking at his food.
Draco was curious as to why his best friend was acting so oddly. “You've been acting weird mate.” He said to Blaise seriously.
Blaise seemed to snap out of his thoughts at that. “Yeah, well It's all these rumors about Kai and me. Now I know how you feel when people spread stuff about you mate. How you put up with the spotlight I'll never know.” Blaise lied to him after thinking for a minute.
Draco nodded his head. It was a plausible idea, and the flattery helped Draco not realize Blaise's lie. “I'm just that good.” Draco responded arrogantly.
Blaise wanted to roll his eyes. Best friend or not, he's still an ass sometimes. Oh well that makes him Draco Malfoy.
*Gryffindor Table*
The four had finished their dinners, and had begun eating desserts. Ron was once again back to stuffing his face, and Hermione back to trying to teach him table manners. This had to be the only thing she has failed to teach someone. Brittany thought happily munching on her food.
Hermione had moved next to Ron so that she could hit him with her clean fork whenever he would use bad manners. This happened to be almost 100 percent of the time. “You're such a slob Ron.”
Harry had moved next to Brittany, to avoid the two `love-birds in denial.' He also was sick of looking at Blaise, who kept looking at them. “He just does it so you will make a fuss over him.” Harry admitted finally.
Hermione and Ron turned beet red and the two across the table laughed. “I think they both realize it.” Brittany smiled turning to Harry.
“Hey your completely wrong!” Ron shot back embarrassed.
“Yeah, sure, whatever you say Ron.” Harry and Brittany sarcastically agreed turning to him with big grins.
“Let's not make a scene guys.” Hermione begged, looking at Brittany for sympathy.
“Oh alright. You two are no fun.” Brittany pouted.
Harry gave her a pat on her head. “Good girl Britt. You know when to not make fun of your friends.” He joked happily trying to ignore the glare from Blaise.
Brittany glared at Harry and pouted. “Don't do that Harry.” She whined annoyed. “ You know I hate it when you or anyone do it.”
Harry took a bite of his apple pie before responding. “That's the whole point.”
Brittany huffed and took a sip of her Pumpkin Juice. She turned back to Harry, but when she did she had an evil idea. There on his cheek was a piece of apple pie. Ah yes, what a perfect way for revenge. “Oh Harry.” She purred.
Said male turned and looked at her, both curious and a little afraid of what she was thinking. “Yes Brittany?”
“You gots a little something on your face.”
“Where is it I'll get it.” He responded wary of her.
“No here, let me.” Brittany smirked at Harry, who became nervous.
*Slytherin Table*
Blaise was glaring at the Gryffindor table. Stupid Harry Potter and his inability to share. I mean it's not like I'm going to eat her, she just a friend. Blaise was not happy with the fact that his new `friend' was being hogged by Harry. We're not close friends, but we're friends, I know her biggest secret for Pete's Sake.
Draco looked at his friend again. Draco was still somewhat surprised he was off in La-La-Land. Normally Blaise was talkative, but now he was forced to listen to Marcus Flint and Theodore Nott argue about who has had more girls. He sighed and was about to tell the two who had had the most girls, when Blaise gasped.
Draco, Theodore, Marcus, and Blaise looked on in wonder at what was happening at the Gryffindor Table.
*Gryffindor Table*
Brittany leaned towards Harry and slowly licked the piece of apple pie off his cheek. She did it in a very sensual way to embarrass Harry for revenge. Revenge tastes so sweet! Oh wait, that's the pie! Oh well.
She went over the spot one more time to make sure he had not more of the yummy dessert on his cheek. Harry turned so red, Ron stopped eating, and Hermione nearly fainted. “There, all gone! I should have had the apple pie. It was deliecious.” Brittany laughed.
The Golden Trio were trying to make a sentence, but were failing. A fair amount of `uh's', `ah's', `um's', and `oh's', were all they managed.
Fred and George came up to Brittany and clapped her on the back. “We never knew Harry could turn so red.” Fred smiled at her.
“It was certainly a nice sight to see.” George agreed ruffling Harry's hair.
“Our little menace strikes again.” They declared happily hugging Brittany before walking back to Angelina and Alicia to discuss the next Quidditch Practice.
“You know I was just getting you back Harry. Lighten up.” Brittany joked.
Harry nodded. The incident made him feel something. Not like he deep feelings for Brittany or anything. This feeling was more like wanting to protect her from others. He felt an almost familiar bond with her, like something from his childhood before the Dursley's. He shook off the feeling for later thoughts. “Yeah right Brittany. You're crazy.”
“And you're a dork.” Brittany chuckled hugging him. Neither Brittany nor Harry noticed Blaise and Professor Snape glaring at Harry angrily.
*Slytherin Table*
“That has got to be the hottest thing I have ever seen.” Theodore breathed out in awe.
Marcus nodded his head in agreement. “She may be a Gryffindork, but she knows how to tease a guy.”
Blaise and Draco were angry for different reasons. Blaise was pissed at Harry for all the attention that he was getting. He may not have romantic feelings for Brittany, but he felt it was wrong for some reason. It just does not feel right.
Draco was pissed off at Brittany. His friends were impressed with her little teasing of Potter. How can anyone look so innocent while doing something so…so…so…sexy? He did not really want to admit it, but the little stunt Brittany pulled did have a little affect on him. She's still a Gryffindor, and obviously has a thing for Potty. The Gryffindor Misfit, and the `Chosen One' what a pair they would make.
*High Table*
Dumbledore turned to Snape, also having seen the stunt. “You may need to tell them soon Severus, before something happens that will hurt both of them.” He whispered so nosy Umbridge would not hear.
“I will. I'll do it in a few months.” He replied back.
“I am still surprised they haven't figured it out yet.” Dumbledore chuckled.
“Potter's just dense.” He shot back angrily.
“What does that make Ms. Kai?” He chuckled at Snape's facial expression.
“She just chooses not to see it.” He snapped angrily.
“That's it entirely.” Dumbledore joked before turning to talk to Professor McGonagall.
Unfortunately that's not it, and it still pisses me off. I still hate myself, and him, for what we did, even if we both loved her. Snape gave a silent sigh before turning back to watch over his daughter.
*Gryffindor Table*
Brittany sat and thought silently, while the other three finished their desserts.
Well I have another person who found out my secret. I'm glad he's going to keep it. I'm surprised dad was eager to tell him though. I wonder why he didn't have me lie our way out of it like we did last time? Oh well. That was kinda mean what I did to Harry. It was funny though. I'll have to bring Faia some of that apple pie. If she doesn't like it I'll eat it later I guess. Today was sure interesting, oh well at least I wasn't bored. I am the Gryffindor Misfit, and my life's never dull.
