     Sorry the introduction is so short and kind of crappy.
***** Introduction. *****
Introduction. 
 
My name is Kairi Annabelle Malfoy, I am the only daughter of Lucius and
Narcissa Malfoy, and the younger sister of Draco Malfoy, who works at the
Ministry of Magic with my father.
 
Although my family has a reputation to maintain outside of the Malfoy Manor,
inside of the manor, it's a different matter.
 
My parents are sleeping on the opposite ends of the manor, even though my
family doesn't believe in divorce, their sure close to it, and with Draco
living somewhere in London with his wife Astoria Greengrass, and thirteen year
old boy and with another child on the way keeping them both very busy, so busy
that they rarely come to the manor anymore since Lord Voldemort was killed all
those years ago by a boy named Harry Potter.
 
Anyways, as you can see from what I've told you so far, not everything in the
Malfoy Manor is so peachy but, thank Merlin I start my fourth year at Hogwarts
in a couple of months. Hogwarts would be a great change of pace for a little
bit because, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, and soon.
I'm just hoping that my instincts are wrong because, whatever is going to
happen isn't going to be very good at all...

~A Couple of Days Later, At the Malfoy Manor~
 
I was awoken by a house elf named Mouse, who was very panicked. "Mistress
Malfoy! Mistress Malfoy! Mistress Malfoy, please get up and get dressed quickly
before mistress Narcissa leaves." The house elf shouted to me through my
bedroom door. 
 
Letting out a groan, I wanted to turn back over on my stomach and just go back
to sleep, and I almost did, had not been for Mouse poofing into my bedroom and
pulling off my bed sheets then, standing on the edge of my bed, he looked down
at me with his skinny arms on his bony hips.
 
"Mistress Malfoy, rise and shine, mistress Narcissa is leaving and she wants to
speak to mistress Kairi before she leaves. Now get dressed-," I cut Mouse off
with a wave of my hand, and a roll of my eyes. "Okay, okay Mouse, I get it,
I'll be ready in a few minutes, does my father know that my mother is leaving?"
I asked him, as I pulled off my nightgown and walked towards the closet, and
pulled a a band t-shirt and some black jeans.
 
Mouse stared at the floor the entire time I was getting dressed, once I quickly
slid on some house shoes, Mouse spoke to me. "No, mistress Kairi, master Lucius
does not know that mistress Narcissa is leaving. Mistress Narcissa told Mouse
to go and wake up mistress Kairi, right away and for mistress Kairi to meet
mistress Narcissa outside the manor's gates." Mouse said to me, pausing for a
moment to catch his breath then, he spoke again. "Mouse must go back to the
kitchen to help Truffle and Holiday to finish preparing breakfast for master
Malfoy and mistress Kairi, good-bye mistress Kairi, Mouse will see you soon."
Were Mouse's last words to me before poofing away to the kitchen.
 
Thinking about what Mouse said to me, as I rushed out of my bedroom, down a
hallway and a flight of steps then, opened a door that led to the kitchen,
which led to another door, that led to a pathway that would take me to the
manor's gates.
 
Once I was outside the manor, I walked slowly towards the manor's gates, where
I saw my mother waiting for me behind a snake statue, in a dark green cloak
with the hood covering most of her face. 
 
Opening the manor's gate, I kept a firm hand on the iron gate while walking
towards my mother, I let go of the gate leaving only a few inches open, so I
could wrap my arms around my mother, who in return, pulled me into a tight
embrace then lowered her hood and meeting my dark blue eyes. "I'm sorry it has
to be this way sweetheart but, ever since the Dark Lord died, my love for your
father has died as well, and he should ever return Merlin forbidding, I don't
want you to go down the same path that your brother went down all those years
ago." With those words said, tears started spilling out of my mother's eyes.
Choking back a few tears, my mother spoke to me again. "I couldn't bare to lose
you, like I almost lose Draco." She managed to get out before a new wave of
tears that turned into sobs, that rolled down her pale cheeks and onto her dark
green cloak.
 
Suddenly feeling a firm hand grip onto my shoulder I became frozen with fear,
before turning my head and staring into my father's cold, icy dark blue eyes, I
gulped down my pride before turning my head back around and staring at the
ground.
 
"What on earth is going on here Narcissa?" My father growled out, digging his
nails into my shoulder before continuing on.  "You're not seriously leaving our
manor, are you?" He added to her, his voice laced with anger, with every word
he spoke to his wife.
 
Narcissa's eyes were soon consumed with anger, as well. "Yes, Lucius I'm
leaving the manor without you. I'm no longer in love with you, and haven't been
for a long time. The Malfoy manor is no longer my home, nor will it ever be
again, at least not while your still alive and breathing." She angrily to him,
adding, "it's over between us, your divorce papers should be arriving tomorrow.
I have nothing more to say to you, you heartless bastard! Now if you will
excuse me, I would like to speak to my daughter in private."
 
It only took a moment for the shock and the anger to register into Lucius's
system. Letting go of my shoulder, father roughly shoved me into my mother's
arms. "I should've known this was coming from you, you cold-hearted wench. I
will more then gladly sign these so-called "divorce papers" of yours Narcissa
in fact, I'll black out your name in my will, and I'll make sure that every
last penny that you still own is mine. You'll find living very difficult
without me or my money. So say good-bye to the high life and say hello to the
poor life." He said coldly to her, adding his final words to his soon-to-be
former wife. "I'll give you five minutes to speak to our daughter Narcissa
because, I'll make damn sure you never see her again. Have a wonderful life
living on the streets you wench." Turning his head at me, father gave me a
cold, icy look before speaking to me. "I'll have the house elf's leave your
breakfast in your room Kairi afterwards, you will meet me in my office where
you will await your punishment for speaking to this wench of a woman you call
'mother'." Was all he said to me before turning on his heel and walking away
from the both of us.
 
Once father was gone, I started to tremble in my mother's arms, as she held me
close to her chest before I too started to break down and cry out of fear.
 
Wrapping an arm around the side of my head, while keeping a firm arm around my
waist, my mother kissed my forehead before speaking to me. "Don't worry about
your father dear, he's only bluffing, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on his only
daughter." She said reassuringly to me, while stroking my long blonde hair.
 
Staring into my mother's eyes, I gave her a weak smile before, wrapping my arms
around her waist and squeezing her waist. "I love you mum, I hope you'll be
okay out there. I will miss you so much, the manor won't be the same without
you here." I said to her ignoring the leftover tears that were falling down my
face, as I thought to myself. Oh mum, if you only knew what father does to me
when your not here, you would've killed him where he stood. 
 
Looking down at me, mother gave me a weak smile before kissing my forehead
again. "Don't worry about me sweetheart, aunt Bellatrix and uncle Rodolphus
will take care of me, and so will your brother. I hope you understand, that the
divorce between your father and I isn't meant to hurt you or your brother, we-
your father and I- just no longer love one another. Now I must go, Bella is
waiting for me at her home, I love you sweetheart, don't you ever forget that."
Giving me one last kiss on the forehead, my mother let go of me then, put the
hood back over her head, and gave me one last smile before walking away from
the life that she once she knew. 
 
Sadly, watching my mother walk away from the manor, I ignored the tears
stinging at my eyes as my mother's figure began to before more blurry and
distant through my tears until I could no longer see her anymore. 
 
Once I knew she was gone, I let out a sigh and dried up my tears, slowly
turning on my heel, and looking up at the Malfoy manor, I gulped down the last
of my pride and as slow as a sloth, I forced my feet to move up the manor's
driveway. Thinking about what was going to happen to me when I went into my
father's office, the entire time I was walking up the manor's driveway. Well, I
better go eat breakfast before I throw it all up after father's punishment for
me......
 
        
Chapter End Notes
     Just in case this question comes up, I'm going to go ahead and answer
     it.
     Why didn't Narcissa fight for custody over Kairi?
     Well, because if Lucius and Narcissa went to the Ministry and went
     before a judge to fight over custody of Kairi, Lucius would get
     custody over her hands down, he could provide for her, where as
     Narcissa couldn't because Lucius has basically taken everything from
     her, including her daughter.
     Warning: The next few chapters contain incest between Lucius and
     Kairi.
***** Chapter Two. *****

     Warning: The Incest between Lucius and Kairi starts here! If you
     don't like it, don't read it.

~Inside Lucius's Office, A Few Hours Later, That Same Day~
 
I waited for my father in his office, just like he told me to do. Biting my lip
and playing with my thumbs was only something to keep me busy but, I was
starting to get nervous and antsy. I just want to get this over with. I thought
to myself, as I swallowed down whatever emotion that was about to come up, I
was so busy distracting myself that I didn't even hear the office door being
opened or closed by my father. 
 
It wasn't until I felt his hands on my shoulders and a hand being removed from
one of my shoulders, to tuck in some of my long blonde hair behind one of my
ears, that caused my stomach to drop and fear started to set in. 
 
"Does my lovely daughter have something to say to her father?" He whispered in
my ear then, removed his hands from my shoulder and from my hair, adding in a
husky tone, "or perhaps my daughter needs some motivation to tell her father
that she's sorry." Was all he said to me before taking his gloves out of his
pocket and putting them on.
 
Turning my head, I eyed my father, my eyes filled with fear and worry, while
his eyes were filled with lust. Turning my head back to where it originally
was, I lowered my head onto the floor, keeping my eyes glued to the floor. "I'm
sorry father, I should've asked for your permission to bid mother farewell
but-," I was cut off when my father ripped me away from the chair that I was
sitting on, and I fell onto the floor, on my knees.
 
Hearing my father throw the chair across the room, I tensed my body up, bracing
myself for the pain that I thought was coming next but, there was no pain, in
fact, there was only silence, with the exception of our breathing in the room. 
 
Breathing in deeply, my father grabbed one of his canes then, walked behind me,
cane in hand, he spoke to me. "Remove your clothes now!" Father ordered me,
slamming the bottom of his cane on his office floor for good measure. 
 
Standing up, I took off my shirt and placed it on the floor then, taking off my
jeans, I placed them next to my shirt, I stayed still, waiting on father's next
order. 
 
Feeling his eyes stare at all the scars on my back, it took every ounce of
energy not to break down and cry. Hearing him put the cane down on a near by
table, I felt his gloved hands trace each and everyone the scars that he gave
me, until he reached the back of my bra, he let a groan before unhooking my
bra, and watching it fall on the floor, I heard grab the cane again, this time,
he placed the head of the cane in the middle of scarred back. "Walk towards
father's desk, my lovely daughter, and lay down on it with your face to the
side and your hands behind your back, folded in." He said to me.
 
Doing as I was told, I walked towards his desk, and laid on my stomach with my
hands pressed against my scarred back. Hearing my father unbutton his shirt
then unzipping his pants drop to the floor and hearing his footsteps move
closer to me. "Raise your head up daughter so your father can provide some
comfort for you." He said to me, the tone in his voice was soothing and calm.
 
Raising my head a few inches off the desk, I felt my father's silky shirt
underneath my ear. "Thank you father." I said to him softly.
 
Nodding his head, father told me to lay my head down on his silk shirt, and I
did as I was told before receiving a kiss on the lips by my father. "Relax your
wrists my lovely daughter, I don't want to harm you." He said to me.
 
Relaxing my wrists, I felt father's belt begin tied around my wrists, feeling
the belt buckle on my wrists, I placed them back down on my scarred back.
 
Feeling my panties begin slipped off, and a non pregnancy begin muttered, I
looked at him. "Father, I'm not use to this, will you be gentle?" I asked him.
 
Kissing my lips again, my father brushed his mouth against my cheek before
whispering into my ear. "Yes, my lovely daughter, I promise, okay?" He softly
whispered into my ear before grabbing his cock and rubbing the head of it
against my vagina a couple of times, causing me to let out some soft moans
which, caused him to let out a groan of pleasure from deep within his throat.  
 
"Yes father." I answered to him, moaning a little louder as he rubbed his head
up and down the entrance of my virgin vagina even more. 
 
Leaning down towards my ear, father breathed into it, causing a wave of
pleasure up and down my spine. "Tell no one of this punishment, father wants
his lovely daughter to himself. Is that understood, my lovely daughter?" He
asked me, his voice filled with lust as he remember my lovely daughter,
Sanctiomonia Vincent Semper." 
 
Giving him a smile, I nodded my head. "Yes father, no one will know." I said to
him, my voice filled with pleasure, or what I thought was pleasure. 
 
Closing his eyes for a moment, he let out a groan. "You are my lovely daughter,
no one else's." He stated to me before slowly starting to push the head of his
cock inside my tight vagina, causing me to cry out in both pain and pleasure.
 
Using his free hand, father reached up and stroked my cheek then, moved a few
strands of my hair away from my face before adding, "my lovely daughter, your
father's cock is so big, I'm very sorry for hurting you but, father promises to
go slowly inside your tight vagina." Father managed to get out through his
groans, as he slowly pushed more and more of his cock inside of me.
 
The more of father's cock that was inside of me, the more it started to hurt
and I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "Father! It hurts!" I cried out,
the tears stinging at my eyes, as I felt a couple of tears slide down my
cheeks.
 
Letting out a groan, father rubbed his nose against my wet cheek. "I'm sorry my
lovely daughter. I'll stop pushing more of my cock inside of you, and I'll give
you a few minutes for my lovely daughter's virgin vagina to adjust to her
father's big cock." He said to me.
 
"Yes father." I managed to get out through my cries.
 
It took us nearly ten minutes for father's whole cock to fit inside of me but,
it was worth it. The pleasure of having a cock inside of me for the first time
was not only painful but, father made it enjoyable as well. 
 
Feeling father start to speed up a little more inside of me caused me to cry
out more. "More father more!" I cried out to him a few minutes later.
 
Kissing my lips, father went faster and deeper inside of me by lifting my legs
in the air and wrapping them around his waist. "My lovely daughter, I casted a
non pregnancy spell earlier, so is it okay if I come inside of my lovely
daughter's vagina?" He asked me, in between groans, as he started picking up
more and more speed with each passing second.
 
Letting out a cry of pleasure, I spoke to him. "Yes, father come inside of me,
please!" I moaned out to him.
 
When father and I came together in only a matter of seconds, it was utter bliss
for the two of us.
 
Panting in the after glow of sex, father pulled his cock out of me then, kissed
my lips and looked down at my thighs, the floor and his desk, which was covered
in my virgin blood before giving me a smile, he spoke to me. "You were very
good my lovely daughter, now go wash up. I'll make sure one of the house elves
gets you some clean clothes." He ordered me, dismissing me from his office.
 
Turning around in father's silk shirt, I looked at him with a confused look on
my face. "Aren't you going to join me father?" I asked him, my hand on his
office door.
 
"No, my lovely daughter, I have some work to do but, I'll join you for lunch."
He said to me, giving me another smile before dismissing me from his office
again.
 
Nodding my head, I headed out of my father's office and headed towards the
nearest bathroom down the hall.
Once his office door was closed, Lucius smirked to himself. That went
perfectly, a little to perfectly Lucius maybe, I should invite another person
next time? I'll have to make another batch of that potion though, Kairi drank
it all with her morning milk this morning but, she was under my complete
control the entire time. Good work Lucius, very good work. He thought to
himself as he magically cleared up all of the virgin blood from his office
before pulling out some papers from one of his desk drawers and pretended like
nothing just happened between him and his daughter....
 
Chapter End Notes
     I hope you enjoyed this chapter (or threw up afterwards). I didn't
     like writing this chapter four years ago, and I still don't like
     writing it, but there would be no point to the story if I didn't
     write it, and I did research on "pure-blood" families mating with
     their relatives, and come to find out, they did have sex with other
     members in their family, just to keep the blood lines "pure". Yuck!
***** Chapter 3. *****
Chapter Notes
     The first part is in Kairi's P.O.V, and this is another chapter with
     Lucius and Kairi having sex.
~Later On That Night, At the Malfoy Manor~ 
 
Closing the balcony door behind me, I took out a cigarette from the pack of
cigarettes that I've had for few days, placing the cigarette into between my
lips then, pulling out a lighter, I lit the cigarette.
Inhaling the chemicals from the cigarette, I coughed a little and exhaled the
smoke from the cigarette and let out another cough. "This is disgusting." I
whispered out to myself, adding in my head, but if it helps with the pain then,
it'll be worth it. I was almost finished with the cigarette when Mouse appeared
before me.
"Mistress Kairi, master Malfoy needs you to meet him in his office right now.
Mouse needs to go back the kitchen to help the other house elf's clean the
dishes before Mouse and the others go to bed. Good night mistress Kairi, Mouse
will leave mistress Kairi a glass of warm milk on your nightstand before Mouse
goes to bed." Was all the house elf said to me before proofing away in a cloud
of smoke. 
Taking one last drag off the cigarette, I put the cigarette out in a ashtray
then, blew the smoke out in between my lips and got out of the chair, opening
the balcony door a moment later, leaving the pack and the lighter on the chair.
Stepping into my bedroom, I closed the door behind me and walked over to my
bed, grabbing my dark green robe, I slipped it on and headed out of my bedroom
and towards father's office, unsure of what he wanted at such a late hour...
 
~Lucius's P.O.V~ 
 
~In His Office~ 
 
I went through the stack of papers again just to double check that these were
all from the Ministry of Magic.
 
A knock on my office door pulled me away from my work. "Come in sweetheart,
give daddy a moment. I'm just making sure that all of the paper have their x's
and o's in the right places." I said to my daughter, as I heard my office door
begin opened and closed a moment later. Checking the final paper from the
Ministry, I opened a drawer and gently placed the papers in there, making a
mental note to mail those all off in the morning. 
Seeing my daughter take a seat at the chair nearest to my desk, I stared into
my daughter's beautiful dark blue eyes before closing the desk drawer then
pushing the office chair backwards, I walked towards my daughter, holding out
my hand for her to take. "Come Kairi, I have something new to teach you." I
said softly to her as my eyes roamed up and down her body, and I only knew it
wouldn't be to long before my arousal kicked in.
Taking my hand, Kairi stood up and I led her to my bedroom.
After tonight my daughter would no longer be a virgin in oral sex, and I'll do
the one thing that I've always wanted to do to my ex wife. Own her and make
sure no man would lay their hands on my daughter, at least not without my
permission. 
Staring at my daughter as we walked through the hallways, I felt the demon
called Lust start to take over in the pit of my stomach. It's to bad Kairi
wasn't born several decades earlier, where men in the Malfoy family were the
ones that did everything for the family and the women and children were to stay
in the shadows and do as told with no back talk or they were punished for
speaking or acting out of line by the men in the family. I thought in my head,
taking a hold of my daughter's hand when we reached my bedroom. Opening the
door for her, I pulled out my wand and lit a couple of candles then closed the
door behind me.
Looking at me, my daughter bit her lip as her eyes went slowly to the bed.
"Father are we going to sleep together?" She asked me.
Feeling Lust laughing and grinning on the inside and shouting, "yes, your going
to sleep with me!" But, unlike Lust I wanted to take things slow so, Kairi
wouldn't get to overwhelmed. Losing her virginty took a lot out of both of us
so, I decided to come up with a plan that would benefit us both and take us
both into pure bliss and it's called: Oral Sex.
Eyeing my daughter with a smile on my face, I placed my hand on her lower back
while leading towards the bed. Once we reached the bed, Kairi looked at me
again with worry and fear in her eyes.
"Take a seat on the bed sweetheart, I have something to show you." I said
calmly to her, my hands acting on their own accord, were removing my pants and
boxers, and as they were begin thrown on the floor, I walked towards my
daughter, cock in one hand while the other was free to do what it pleased.
"This is my cock and as you can see sweetheart, it's not hard in fact, it's
flat. Do you know what you can do with it?" I asked her, as I reached out for
one of her hands then placed it on the shaft of my cock and moved it back and
forth until I felt my cock twitch then, I removed my hand from the top of my
daughter's hand and watched as my daughter started stroking my cock, over and
over until my cock grew hard, and I gasped in pleasure. 
"Kairi stop sweetheart, daddy has something else to show you and it involves
your mouth and my cock, do you understand what I'm trying to say sweetheart?" I
asked her in between gasps of pure pleasure. 
Nodding her head, Kairi removed her hand from my cock and opened her mouth
then, slowly she placed her mouth on the head of my cock and started slowly
moving her head back and forth, causing me to let out a groan of pleasure.
Looking down at my daughter, I started stroking the back of her head, urging
her to suck even more of my cock. "Your such a talented girl Kairi, you keep
this up and daddy's going to come soon." I groaned out to her, trying my best
not take both of my hands and shove them onto the back of her head but, if I
knew if I did that, Kairi might get upset or she might freak out, and I
couldn't let that happened, at least not while I was on the brink of shooting a
hot load of semen into my daughter's mouth. 
Resting my hands on her shoulders, I gasped and cried out for her to keep
going, and my obedient daughter did as she was told.
Finally what seemed like a century, I felt the hot and ready semen start making
it's way to the tip of my cock. Gently stopping my daughter's head, I told her
to prepare herself.
"Why daddy-?" My daughter's question never was answered because her mouth was
full of my semen and sadly, it was all over her face. 
Looking down at my daughter with a smile on my face, I reached in my shirt
pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, and wiped away the semen that was on her
cheeks and on the tip of her nose. "Good girl Kairi, now you may swallow it or
go into my bathroom and spit it out, it's your choice." I cooed to her, moving
her blonde hair off of her shoulders.
What happened next surprised me. Without saying a word, Kairi swallowed my
semen then, licked the leftovers off of her lips.
Kissing her lips, I ordered Kairi to move backwards on the bed, and she did
without a word. "Now sweetheart, it's daddy's turn to return the favor that you
did for me." Were my last words to her, as I removed Kairi's robe and her
underwear, and started to eat her out...
 
~An Hour Later~ 
 
Kairi let out one final cry as she came all over my face and chin. Swallowing
her come, and licking up the leftover come that was on my face and whatever was
left on her vagina. 
 
Climbing on top of her, I kissed her lips then nuzzled the side of her neck.
"You were excellent sweetheart. There is one last thing that I would like to
show you but, it's very late and we both need our rest so, go back to your room
and I'll see you in the morning. I love you Kairi." I said to her wearily as I
got off of her and watched her put her robe and panties back on then, head
towards my bedroom door. A moment later it was opened and closed.
Once I knew Kairi was gone, I let out a sigh and summoned some pajama bottoms
and headed towards my office again. 
There was going to be a party in my daughter's honor, and only the elite were
invited....
 
~End of Lucius's P.O.V~ 
 
~Kairi's P.O.V~ 
 
~Inside Kairi's Bedroom~ 
 
Taking one last sip of the warm milk that Mouse made me, I let out a sigh of
happiness. "I really need to thank Mouse for doing this, he's such a wonderful
house elf." I said quietly to myself, as I put the glass back down on the
table.
 
Suddenly Mouse proofed out of nowhere, smiling at me, as he spoke. "Mistress
Kairi is very welcome, Mouse loves to help mistress Kairi, she is so kind and
nice to Mouse and the other house elf's, unlike the rest of her family." Mouse
started to beat himself up after he made that comment about my family. 
Unable to stand Mouse hurting himself, I ordered to him stop and to never do
that in front of me again. Turning on a light near by, I walked towards Mouse,
who was looking at the floor ashamed of himself.
"Mouse is very sorry for speaking ill of mistress Kairi's family, Mouse didn't
mean to." Mouse said to me, tears starting to pour out of his light blue eyes. 
I frowned at him then, took a seat next to him, touching his bony shoulder, we
met eyes. Brushing away his tears with my thumb, I smiled at him. "Mouse, it's
okay I agree with you, my family is so cold-hearted and selfish but, maybe one
day the ice will melt away from their hearts, or maybe it won't, who knows?" I
said to him before placing a kiss on his forehead. "Mouse will you be my
friend?" I asked him.
Giving me the biggest smile that he could manage before giving me a hug. "Yes,
Mouse will be mistress Kairi's friend." He answered me then, added to me,
"Mouse has to go now, Mouse has mistress Kairi's glass to clean then Mouse must
go to bed. Good night mistress Kairi." With those words said he let go of me
then went to go collect my glass but, before he could reach it, I stood up and
walked over to him and laying a hand on his shoulder. 
Turning around Mouse looked at me. "Yes mistress Kairi?" He asked me, as he
turned back around and reached for the glass, and he finally got it then,
 holding onto the glass, he turned his head back at me and smiled me. 
Giving me another smile, I bent down on my knees so we were now eye level with
each other. "Mouse can I ask you a question?" 
Still looking up at me with the biggest smile on his face, he nodded a "yes" to
me.
"Mouse if you could, where would you go?" I asked him. 
Seeing the house elf's eyes light up with wonder made me smile. "Mouse would
love to take Truffle, Holiday, Catcher, Rye, Rain and Summer to somewhere nice
and pleasant. Although, Mouse isn't sure if Dozey, Blue, Winky and Bull would
want to go, they seem very happy here." He confessed to me. 
Standing up, I patted Mouse's head and asked him if I could prepare breakfast
with them in the morning, and he said "yes" before proofing away back to the
kitchen. 
Turning the light off, I pulled back the covers and took off my robe then,
climbed into bed with a smile on my face...
***** Chapter Four. *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~Two Days Later, At Malfoy Manor, Inside the Kitchen, Early in the Morning ~ 
 
Turning the radio up as The Weird Sister's "Do the Hippocriff" came on, I
started dancing with the mixing bowl and the spoon as I danced my way past
Catcher and Summer, who were tapping their feet and swaying their hips to the
beat.
 
Handing the spoon to Truffle so she could wash it then, I handed the mixing
bowl, which was full of pancake mix and chocolate chips mixed together, to
Mouse. "Mistress Kairi is very happy today?" Mouse asked me, as he put the
mixing bowl under the mixer and turned it on low. 
Giving Mouse a smile as I picked him up and we started around in the middle of
the kitchen. "Yes Mouse, I'm very happy this morning! Are you happy today?" I
asked him. 
Unfortunately for Mouse and I we didn't realize that Rye was carrying some
flour for a cake that we were also preparing and we didn't hear his cries for
us both to stop spinning and then all three of us fell to the floor while the
bowl of flour went up in the air. 
All three of us watched as the bowl of flour started coming down on our heads.
So Rye, Mouse and I were covered with flour then, the bowl dropped on top of
Mouse's head.
"Mistress Kairi Mouse can't see! It's dark in here!" He shouted to me, as I
pulled the bowl off of his head and he blinked a couple of times at me before
he jumped in my arms and laid his head on my shoulder. "Mistress Kairi, Mouse
was trapped in a dark hole." He added to me. 
Mouse's story caused the house elf's to laugh and caused a few of the other
ones to shake their heads and curse at Mouse under their breaths as they went
back to their kitchen duties. 
Suddenly the radio was turned off and every head in the kitchen turned, the
once happy atmosphere that was in the kitchen was gone.
Standing in the entrance of the kitchen was my older brother Draco Malfoy who
had a look of fake disgust on his face. 
Mouse and Rye scrambled to get off of me and return to their normal kitchen
duties. 
Biting my lip, I stood up and brushed off what I could of the flour while still
staring at the floor. "Hello Draco." I said sheepishly to him. 
Hearing his shoes on the kitchen tile, I was frozen with fear even after he put
both hands on my shoulders and pulled me into a tight, loving hug. "It's about
damn time you were happy Annabelle." He whispered into my ear before pulling
away from me, not caring about that flour that was now all over his nice dress
shirt. 
Lifting my head up we met each other's eyes and shared a smile. "What are you
doing here?" I asked him, as I wrapped an arm around his neck, and he wrapped
an arm around my waist. 
"Oh nothing much, just came to see you and dad. In between work and taking care
of Astoria and our soon-to-be little girl, I've been extremely busy." He said
to me, leading me out of the kitchen then, turning his head at the house elf's
he mouthed to them a "thank you" and we left the kitchen. 
"How's mum?" I whispered to him as we pasted the dining area and headed to the
living room where we sat next to each other. 
Draco ran a hand through his perfectly combed hair, he let out a sigh. "She's
doing well, Aunt Bellatrix and Uncle Rodolphus are taking mum's divorce a
little to well but, Annabelle she's quite worried about you and father-," Draco
cut himself off to put a Silencing Charm on the room before continuing on.
"She's worried that father might take his anger or any other emotions out on
you, she asked me to ask you if he's made any sexual advances towards you
because, if he has then she'll rip his balls off." He confessed to me. 
When Draco finished speaking to me, I froze with fear as much as I wanted to
tell Draco that father has not only made sexual advances towards me but, he's
popped both of my cherries and I'm not to sure what else he's got planned for
me. "No Draco, he hasn't made any advances towards me at all. He's just shut
himself in the office ever since mum left." I lied to him. 
Rolling his eyes at my sentence, Draco let out a snort. "Well that figures,
father's always been a workaholic." He scoffed as he dispelled the Silencing
Charm he put on the room earlier. "Anyways, aren't you excited to go back to
school and get out of this stuffy mansion? I heard that there's going to be
some changes this year but, I'm not to sure what they are." He added to me.
Giving Draco a fake smile, I looked at him. "I can't wait to go back to
Hogwarts, I'm slightly worried about what my classes are going to be since
Professor Slughorn left his potions position last year, I'm sure things will be
different now that's he gone into retirement." I said sadly to him, adding.
"Well there goes my chances of getting into The University of Arts and Magic, I
can kiss that dream of getting into there good bye and say hello to Witches and
Wizards Community College." 
Draco placed his hand over mine. "Don't worry about that now Annabelle, you
still have a plenty of time before you even think about college. Besides,
what's wrong with WWCC? I made out it of there in one piece, and look where am
I." He said to me, giving me another smile then, added. "Only my little sister
would be worried about getting into UMA four years early but, you still have to
focus on getting O's in your both your O.W.L's and your N.E.W.T's it's before
you can even think about getting into UMA or any other A ranked university like
that." 
I let out a sigh then looked at him. "Yeah, I know. Hopefully I can take a few
extra classes this year if Headmaster Dumbledore will let me." I said to him. 
Draco shrugged at my comment then, spoke to me. "Don't worry about that now
Annabelle, you still have a whole month of summer before school starts, and
Astoria and I wanted to have a little get together before you head back to
Hogwarts." He said to me, giving me another smile.
While Draco and I were so busy discussing school and comparing my future
college and his former college, we didn't even notice father had entered the
room until he cleared his thoart. 
Eyeing each other for a moment before looking away, Draco leaned over and gave
me a hug. "I'm off for now little sister. Send me an owl or two sometime. I
love you, I'll either floo or owl you the details of the get together with
Astoria and I." He said to me, kissing my cheek before standing up and shaking
hands with father then, departing in the fireplace. 
Looking up and into father's eyes, I just sat on the couch with my hands folded
in my lap and biting my lip. "Yes father?" I asked him. 
With a crook of his finger, father ordered me to go put on some new clothes and
to meet him here in five minutes and that we were leaving by apparition to
Diagon Alley, he wouldn't tell me why though. 
Nodding my head, I got off the couch and headed straight to my room....
***** Chapter Five. A Shopping Trip with Daddy *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V
~Inside Diagon Alley, Later on That Day~ 
 
Father's arm was wrapped tightly around my waist as we quickly made our way
past several shops then, we came to a stop at Madam Malkin's Robe's For All
Occasions and Lingerie Shop. 
 
Eyeing my father as he let go of my arm and opened the shop's door for me, I
quickly went inside with my father right behind me, his last and only words
right before we left the Manor were echoing in my head as Madam Malkin came out
and we started looking through the catalog of dresses and underwear and bra's
while, I was getting measured by her as well.
 
~Flashback~ 
 
Feeling father's hands on my shoulders, I felt fear and worry run up and down
my spine as one of his hands wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer
towards him until I felt his erection through his pants begin pressed up
against my backside. 
 
Moving some of my hair behind my ear, my father bent down and breathed into it,
sending another wave of fear and worry up and down my spine. "Were going
shopping for some nice dresses and some lingerie for you. I want you to be on
your best behavior. You will not talk to anyone unless I say it's okay. You
will allow me to go into the dressing room with you so, I can see what would
look best for you. If you behave well enough, I might take you to Florean
Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and Pure Witches and Wizards book shop
afterwards." He paused to lower his voice even more. "But, if you don't behave,
I will put a Silencing Charm on the dressing room and I will beat you until you
can no longer stand on your own, do you understand me Kairi?" He asked me.
Nodding my head "yes" over and over again because I was to afraid say a word to
my father. 
"Good, now let's go shall we?" He said to me, as he released his hand from my
shoulder but kept his arm firmly around my waist as we apparated to Diagon
Alley...
 
~End of Flashback~ 
 
Eyeing my father as I spun around in a dark green dress, he nodded his head in
approval of the dress. 
 
Stepping off the platform, I headed back to the dressing room to change into
another dress that he would approve of.
Father followed closely behind me but, Madam Malkin stopped him with her hand
on his forearm in a death grip. Slowly turning his head to the owner of the
shop, he plastered on a fake smile before speaking to her. "Yes madam, is
something wrong?" He asked her.
Staring into his dark blue eyes, Madam Malkin moved closer to him so their eyes
could meet. It was Madam Malkin's very angry and worried blue eyes verse's my
father's calm and cool dark blue ones. "Mr. Malfoy, I'm not to sure what your
trying to play in my shop between you and your daughter but, I've allowed you
to go back to the dressing room's five times and each time your daughter's come
out, I can see in her eyes and in her body posture that something is very
wrong. Even though she's tried her best to hide it from the both of us, nothing
gets past me. I will handle the rest of your daughter's needs from here on out
and you will stay here and wait on your daughter to come out. Your lucky that I
don't turn you in here and now but, for the sake of your daughter, I won't.
I'll let you pay for the dresses Mr. Malfoy but, don't you ever think that I'll
let you walk in my store again, at least not while your daughter's here. Now if
you'll excuse me, I have a customer to take care of." Was all the shop owner
said to Lucius, as she released his arm and moved past him towards the dressing
rooms, her footsteps echoing off the stone floor.
The once calm, cool and collected Lucius Malfoy just had his feathers ruffled
by a shop owner, who had the gall to interfere with his personal life between
him and I. That woman! How dare she talk to me like that! She's lucky I didn't
hex her, nobody interferes between my daughter and myself. Lucius thought to
himself, as the anger started to boil in his blood and started to see red until
I came out of the dressed in a dark purple dress with Madam Malkin by my side.
The dark purple dress was unlike the others, it was made out of the softest
material that I've worn in my life, and the sleeves went past my forearms, and
stopping at my wrists. The bottom of the dress stopped a few inches below my
ankles and the top of the dress stopped above my neckline. The dress itself was
decorated in broken pieces of different colored stain glass that shimmered in
the light and it made pretty colors on the walls of the wardrobe shop.
Eyeing my dress, father gave a nod of approval before I even stepped on the
platform. "I think that's enough dresses for now sweetheart. Go back to the
dressing room and change back into your normal clothes. I will be at the front
of the store waiting on you." He said to me before turning on his heel and
heading to the cash register and pulling out a sack of money and leaving it on
the counter.
 
~Ten Minutes Later~
 
Once we left the shop, I noticed that were was something wrong with father. I
guessed we were heading to Twilfitt and Tatting's Shop next but, oh Merlin, was
I wrong.
 
Suddenly father had a tight grip on my arm as he started dragging me to an
alleyway. Putting a Silencing Charm and a Vanishing Spell on the area around
us, I knew I was in deep shit and I was about to find out why.
Casting his icy blue eyes, I knew something was wrong and from the anger that
was flashing in his eyes, I immediately knew that whatever was wrong with him,
was about to come back to me, and for the first time in my life I was scared of
my father and scared that I might not make it out of this alleyway alive...
***** Chapter Six. The Torture of Kairi Malfoy *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V
Pinning me against the alleyway's wall with a wand merely inches from my face I
finally saw my father's fury in his eyes.
 
My heart was beating a eleven hundred miles an millisecond and every muscle in
my body was shaking along with it. My brain was screaming at me to run as fast
but, I couldn't. I was pinned against an alleyway wall for Merlin's sake and I
had a wand pointed at me, inches away from my face, what I could possibly do? I
was a rat caught in a cage. I wasn't of age to do magic without the Ministry
finding out so, as of right now, I was officially screwed.
Moving closer to my face, my father did something I never thought he would do
to his own flesh and blood, he used an Unforgivable Curse on his own daughter.
"CRUCIO!" He shouted at me after releasing me from his grip, he watched as I
succumbed to the effects of the First Unforgivable Cruse.
Letting out a blood curling scream as my body started convulsing from the
curse, I was hit with the first Unforgivable Curse again and again and there
was nothing I could do expect let out a series of blood curling screams that no
could hear expect for my father, who at the moment was taking joy in torturing
his only daughter. 
Lucius finally stopped torturing me ten minutes later. Leaning down my father,
turned me over so we could meet eye-to-eye. "You disobeyed me Kairi, you
should've prepared yourself for this. If you want me to stop torturing you then
answer me. Did you a speak word to Malkin or Draco about our relationship?" He
asked me, tone in his voice was ice cold with every word that came out of his
lips.
Looking into his eyes as more tears flowed from my eyes, I managed to find my
voice. "No father, I did as you told me to do, I spoke to no one about our
relationship. Please you have to-," He cut me off as unleashed another spell
that was meant to cause physical harm, the spell he was now using was called
Sectumspema. 
Letting out a scream, I grasped my now bleeding shoulder. 
Climbing on top of me, he bound my wrists and legs together with a spell then,
grabbing my hair, we locked eyes, his angry eyes meeting my scared ones. "Tell
me the truth or next time I might hit a vital organ, which would only bring you
more pain." He said to me. 
To afaird to look away from my father's eyes, I swallowed down my pride and
told him the truth. "Father, the truth is, that this morning Draco asked me if
you had made any sexual advances towards me, and I lied to him and told him no,
and he believed it. Madam Malkin saw the scars on my back when we went in the
dressing room, and I told her that when I was young, I tripped over sharp, and
she believed it." I paused for a moment to catch my breath and see if the
expression in my father's eyes changed, and it did. "Please father-," he cut me
off with a hard kiss to the lips then, got off of me and undid the Binding
Spell and healed my bleeding shoulder, not saying a word the entire time.
Helping me off the ground, father held me close and buried his face in my head
before we apprated back to the Malfoy Manor, neither of us speaking....
***** Chapter Seven. Lunch with the Family *****
Chapter Notes
     This is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~At the Malfoy Manor, Three Days Later, Sometime in the Afternoon~ 
 
Sending Canary off to Draco's home in London, I fed him two owl treats then,
watched him fly out of my bedroom, I shut the balcony doors and started to get
dressed for my afternoon lunch with my brother, his wife and my mum and my
aunt. I started humming a song as I slid on a pair of black panties and black
dress pants.
 
Running a brush through my hair, I put it away in one of the drawers on my
nightstand then, straightening my band T-shirt out, I left my bedroom and
headed towards my father's office. 
Knocking on the office door five minutes later, I noticed there was a note
taped to it and addressed to me. Taking it off the door, I opened the envelope
and started reading the letter. 
Dear Kairi, I had to run some errands and attend a couple of meetings at the
Ministry so, I won't be home until late at night. Draco has all ready informed
me about your plans for today. I've left you more then enough money for lunch
and if you and Astoria want to go shopping afterwards there's plenty of money
for that.
I'm also very sorry for losing my temper with you a few days ago but, I will
make it up to you somehow sweetheart.
Enjoy your day and have fun but, be careful.
I love you with all my heart
Sincerely, Your Father,
Lucius Malfoy.  
Was all the letter said.
Turning the envelope upside down, two large sacks of money fell out. Pocketing
both the sacks of money and the letter, I opened and closed my father's office
door behind me then, threw the envelope away in a near by trash bin and walked
towards the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo Powder. I shouted Draco's
address and was Floo Powdered to my brother's house.
 
~At Draco's House~ 
 
Coughing from the Floo Powder, I walked out of the fireplace and found myself
in Drasco's living room where Uncle Rodolphus had his nose buried in the Daily
Prophet. 
 
"There she is!" I heard mum shout as I heard heels clicking on the wooden
floor. 
Turning my head, I was suddenly swept into my mother's loving arms as she gave
me a tight hug. "Hi mum." I said to her, as I wrapped my arms around her in
nearly a week.
Hearing a scoff come from the other side of the room, I turned my head and saw
Aunt Bellatrix rolling her eyes and playing with her curly brown hair. "Oh yay
she's here. Can we go all ready, the scene between you two is enough to make me
toss up my breakfast." She said dryly to us, the tone in her voice was very
sarcastic. 
Shooting a dirty look at her sister Narcissa rolled her eyes as we unwrapped
ourselves from the hug and headed out of the living room and moved towards the
front door but, not before hearing Uncle Rodolphus grumble about us making to
much noise and begin to cheery for his liking. 
"Oh Uncle Rodolphus stop begin such an old toad. Were leaving anyways just as
soon as Astoria gets done scolding Scorpius, we'll be out of your hair." Draco
said from behind me as he placed both hands on my shoulder's then gently kissed
my forehead afterwards. 
Lowering his newspaper Rodolphus shot his nephew a dirty look. "If you would
just discipline the boy yourself instead of having your bloody wife doing it
then, he wouldn't be such a bother or maybe I could do it myself, a swift slap
of the ass a couple of times, never killed anyone." He grumbled to his nephew
before returning to the newspaper. 
Pulling out her wand, Astoria eyed Rodolphus from in between her husband and
her mother-in-law. "You old buzzard! How dare you talk about my son like that!
I should hex you right where you sit or better yet, I'll just burn a hole in
your beloved prophet." She said to him. 
Rolling his eyes, Rodolphus lowered his newspaper again, this time meeting
Astoria's stare. "If you weren't pregnant Greengrass, I'd bend you over my knee
and give you a swift slap at the ass for talking to me like that. Honestly
woman, have you no respect for your elders?" He said coldly to her, sneering at
her afterwards.
Astoria's nostrils flared up in anger. "Respect for my elders, oh I have
respect for them all right but, you on the other hand, I would gladly-," Draco
cut his wife off with a comforting squeeze to the shoulder. "Cut it out you
two, let's go get some lunch before the good tables were all gone." Draco said
to us, as he wrapped an arm around his wife's waist then, taking her arm, he
looked at us and told us where we were having lunch then apprated with his wife
after he spoke to us. 
Taking both my mum and aunt's arms we apprated to the restaurant as well. 
We stood outside one of the most fanciest restaurants in the wizarding world,
Newt and Mallard that only served to the purest of families and no one else. 
Draco led the way with his wife in tow and the the three of us following
behind, the doors magically opening for the five of us and closing behind us
once we were all inside the lobby.
Newt and Mallard's didn't seem so big on the outside but, it was huge on the
inside, it was covered in head to toe with different pictures of famous pure
blood wizards and witches from different generations and different families. 
Before I could get a better look at the rest of the restaurant, a man before
us.
"Mr. Malfoy we were expecting you and your family, right this way sir, your
tables have been all ready set up for you sir." A man with short, combed back
dark brown hair said to us.
Thanking the man, we were led to a privet table in the very back of the
restaurant where a waiter was all waiting for us.
Once everyone was seated comfortably in the booth, the waiter introduced
himself as Nox Crabbe then, handed us several menus before asking us what we
would like to drink. 
Draco, mum and aunt Bellatrix ordered a bottle of wine to share while Astoria
and I ordered a soda. 
Nodding his head while getting our drinks orders, Nox left to get our drink
orders, returning a few minutes later.
"Is everyone ready to order their food or should I wait a few minutes?" Nox
asked us with a pen and a pad out and ready to take our orders. 
Eyeing us, Draco put his menu down and kindly told Nox to give us another
minute or two then, he left our table.
I was looking through the menu over and over again, still unsure of what to
order. Finally resting my eyes on an appetizer, letting out a sigh, and closed
the menu then, giving both my brother and mum a smile, I took a sip from my
coke afterwards.
Feeling mum's hand holding onto my hand under the table, I turned my head and
smiled at her. "I've missed you." We both said at the same time before sharing
a smile and I laid my head on her shoulder. 
Letting out a scoff, aunt Bellatrix's eyes rolled to the back of her head then,
she shot a glare that sent daggers through us. "You both are making me sick
with all joyfulness between you two, I'm going to gag on my wine if you don't
stop it." She hissed to us, letting out another scoff. 
Rolling his eye's at his aunt's comment, Draco kicked her in the shin's under
the table. "If you don't shut up, I'll make sure your never invited to another
family function again." He growled out to his aunt.
"Fine but, I don't like it." She mumbled under breath, as she poured herself a
large glass of wine. 
Needless to say, aunt Bellatrix never made another nasty side comment
throughout the entire lunch. 
With our bellies stuffed we started to slide out of the booth but, aunt
Bellatrix stopped me by grabbing onto my wrist then, leaned into my ear, and
whispered. "Your mum and brother may not have noticed it but, I have." The tone
in her voice sent chills up and down my spine.
My eyes widened at my aunt's words. "Noticed what?" I asked her, my voice
turning into a whisper as I spoke to her.
"That turning into a smoker. You shouldn't smoke Kairi, it'll kill you." With
those words whispered in my ear, my inner self let out a sigh of relief. 
If you only knew why Aunt Bellatrix. You and mum would be setting everything in
sight on fire. I thought to myself, as she released my wrist and we slid out of
the booth together and joined the rest of the family then, we all left the
restaurant, Draco leaving a medium sized sack of money on table, and I left a
rather large tip for the waiter. 
Once outside the restaurant, Astoria let out a yawn and ran a hand over her
baby bump. "Well, I'm very sorry for doing this but, it seems I'm in need of a
nap, the baby demands so. I'all see you guys later." She said to us after
giving her husband a quick kiss on her lips, she hugged us all and pecked our
cheeks, expect for aunt Bellatrix, who had enjoy joyfulness for her entire life
then, she headed home by apparition. 
Eyeing us, Draco ran a hand through his hair and somehow managed to weasel his
way out of shopping with us but, not before I asked him to take me back to the
manor. Nodding his head, Draco held out an arm and we to apprated but, not
before giving our mum and aunt a pecks on the cheek and a quick then, we said
our good byes, and we apprated back to the manor, not expecting who was waiting
for us when we got there...

     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~At the Malfoy Manor, In the Living Room~ 
 
We just apprated into the living room where we heard angry and raised voices. 
 
"I've all ready explained to you Lucius that Dumbledore has requested that I
personally hand deliver your daughter's schedule for this upcoming school
year." We heard Professor Snape say to our father.
Turning our heads, we eyed each other and shared the same confused expression
on our faces then, started walking into the room that our father and Professor
Snape were in.
Hearing our footsteps echo off the stone floor, the conversation between the
two men stopped and their heads turned in our direction.  
Giving Severus one last icy and cold look, he uncurled his lips and his fist
before storming off and out of the room, the tension in the room very slowly
dissolving once father left.
"Hello Professor, isn't it a little early for Annabelle to be getting her class
schedule?" Draco asked his former teacher. 
Shaking his head at his former student, Snape slid a hand in one of his robe
pockets and pulled out a envelope strictly addressed to me. "Headmaster
Dumbledore personally asked me to give this to you Ms. Malfoy. He says, you
might want to study the books for some of your classes for this year, you
will be given tests on your first day back to Hogwarts. Also enclosed in that
envelope, is a list of all the books and other items you will need for this
school year, your first day of school, starts on August thirty first, I will
see you then." Was all he said to me before looking into my eyes then,
apparating right in front of me.
Raising an eyebrow at the envelope in my hands, Draco kissed my cheek then,
wished me good luck before he to apprated in front of me.
Letting out a sigh, I left the room I was in and started heading in the
direction of the staircase that would take me to my room, and it was the only
place in the manor, where I felt it was safe to open without feeling like my
father was standing over me and breathing down my neck...

~A Week Later, At the Malfoy Manor~ 
 
Biting my lip as father walked around in a circle, his eyes never leaving my
purple dress. "Should I wear the green dress father? I know-," He cut me off
with a wave of his hand. 
 
Giving me a relaxed smile as his finally left my dress, we met eyes. "No, you
may chose whatever dress that you want to wear tonight sweetheart." He said to
me, as he took both of my hands in his then, he added. "Although, I must admit
this dress looks very attractive and more conservative on you, I'm sure if you
would put on some natural looking make up, you will without a doubt look more
grown up and more respectable in the eyes of my breathen tonight. After all,
your the guest of honor tonight my dearest." 
Blushing slightly at my father's term of endearment, I nodded my head and
leaned over to kiss his cheek but, he turned his head and we kissed one
another's lips. "May I go change clothes now father?" I asked him, desperately
wanting to get out of this dress before I possibly ruined it. 
Letting go of my hands, father pulled out his wand and whispered "Evanesco" and
my dress disappeared before my eyes, leaving me only standing in a bra and
panties. "The dress should be in your closet." He said to me, as he summoned
one of his comfy dark green robes for me to wear. "Now, if you will excuse me,
I have several things to do before the guests arrive." He added to me,
dismissing me from his office.
"Yes father, I'll be in my room studying." I said to him, turning on my heel, I
walked out of his office well almost, I stopped at his office door then, turned
my head and once again met my father's blue eyes.
"Please remember to take the potion an hour before the party sweetheart. Now go
on and study dearest." He said to me then, returned his attention back to some
paperwork that was on his desk.
"Yes father." I whispered out to him, as I opened and closed his office behind
me then headed down the hallway towards my bedroom where my Advanced Potion-
Making book was awaiting my return....
 
~A Few Hours Later~
 
Applying the last of my make-up, I doubled checked my hair to make sure it
would stay tight and secure in a bun. I wish mum were here, I'm sure she would
be very proud of me in this dress, even if it's not green. I thought to myself,
as I spun around a couple on something that I would never wear, a pair of dark
purple heels, that were only a couple of inches high. 
 
I was so busy worrying about if I looked okay for everyone, that I didn't
notice my father was standing outside my room, until he laid his hands on my
shoulders, which caused me to jump in the air. "Nervous are we?" He playfully
teased me once I calmed down a little.
Giving my father a smile, I took a couple of steps back and looked at my
father's attire for the evening, and I had to admit, he looked rather dashing
in his dark green suit and sliver tie. "Wow father, you look very handsome, I
might feel a little undressed standing next to you tonight." I confessed to
him, as I watched him pull out a small box. 
Kissing my lips gently, he chuckled at my comment. "Sweetheart, your not the
one who feels a little undressed. Just look at yourself, no man will be able to
tear his gaze away from you tonight, I for one cannot even imagine you leaving
my sight tonight. Let alone just watching you dance with another man." He
confessed to me, as he opened the small box and revealed to me what was inside
of it, a necklace of two, dark green steel snakes intertwined together. This
was our family heirloom, pasted down from generation to generation. Now it was
begin pasted down onto me by my father, just as the necklace was past down to
him from my grandfather.
 My father didn't even have to look into my eyes to know how honored I was to
wear something as beautiful and so priceless. "I assume you realize what this
means don't you dear?" He said to me, as he carefully took the necklace out of
the box and unhook it then, very carefully he placed it around my neck and
kissed my cheek before adding, "wear our family heirloom with pride and honor
my dearest because like you, this can never be replaced for anything in the
world." 
Turning around and staring into my father's eyes, I tried very hard not to shed
a tear but, alas a single tear fell down my cheek. "Thank you father, how I can
ever repay you?" I asked him, as we left my bedroom, arm in arm, and headed
down the hallway.
Turning his head as we came to a stop at the top of the staircase, we unlinked
arms. "You can give me the pleasure in letting me have the first dance." He
said to me before kissing my forehead and heading down the staircase and
whispering, "Sonorus" when he reached the last step. 
Making his way towards the platform, my father begun to speak. "Good evening
gentlemen and welcome, I'm sure you all know why your here so, we can skip that
part of the speech." He said jokingly towards the small group of men, who
nodded their heads or chuckled under their breaths. Turning to the staircase,
he spoke again. "Now it's time to present the guest of honor." He said into his
wand then, turning his head towards a man with short, straw blonde hair, he
nodded his head. "Mr. Crouch, will you do the honors?" He added to him then,
focused his eyes back to where I was standing. 
Aiming his wand towards an unlit light across from me, Crouch whispered
"Lumos." And the light that was once off now, was now on, shining with all it's
might on me. 
Slowly walking down the staircase, I placed my hand lightly on the rail to
steady myself as I focused my eyes on father's because I knew if I met even one
of the strange men's eyes, I would run back to my bedroom and everything my
father worked so hard on today would be ruined. 
Stepping off the platform, my father walked towards the staircase with his hand
out as we met each other at the staircase and walked towards the platform
together hand-in-hand. 
Standing beside my father with our hands still holding onto each others, my
father lifted the wand a few inches away from his lips and spoke for both of
us. "My daughter and I are both honored to have you all here. Now, before the
party starts let me remind you gentlemen about the rules." He said to the crowd
of men, his eyes burning into a man with matted grey hair and blue eyes before
he looked away from him. "I'm sure most of you remember them." He paused to
cast his eyes once again on the man with the matted grey hair. "But, in order
to prevent unwanted accidents, I will go over the rules again." With those
words said, Lucius waved his wand in the air and appearing before everyone was
a piece of parchment, taking it in his hands, Lucius started to read them off. 
"One. No biting, hitting, choking, leaving bruises of any kind of "love bites"
on my daughter. 
Two. You will be kind, honorable and most of all respectable towards my
daughter and myself. Remember you are all our guests and should something go
wrong, we both reserve the right to remove you from our property. 
Three. Everyone including myself, will draw a number from the bowl in the
middle of the snack and refreshments table. Once you have a number, you will
proceed to the bedroom that is across the balcony doors that lead to the
gardens, when I tell everyone is time for the sexual relations. Unless the room
is begin occupied by one man and my daughter for the time begin. Gentlemen, you
will have a maximum of an hour and a minimum of thirty mintues to enter and
leave the room, unless you have been requested by my daughter or myself say you
may stay longer other then that, stick to the time limits. When my daughter
says it's time to leave, you leave, no expections. 
Four. Each man will use a non pregnancy spell or charm before and after having
sexual relations with my daughter. This is to ensure that my daughter will
not be having any unwanted children. 
Five. If I or my daughter feel uncomfortable with any of you, we both possess
the right to pass over your number and go on to the next man. I personally want
my daughter to feel as comfortable as she can with each and everyone of you
gentlemen. Other then, the thirty minute break she will receive after every
sexual relation to take care of herself and a relax a little before her next
partner enters the room." 
After the rules were said, Lucius folded the parchment up and met each and
every eye that was either focused on me or him, he spoke. "Gentlemen, let's
have fun tonight before the sexual relations commence, we all dance on the
floor that was right beneath you gentlemen. Enjoy yourselves." Was all he said
to everyone as he removed the spell on his wand then, aimed it at the speakers
and music started playing. 
Leading me off the platform and onto the dance floor, father placed my hand on
his shoulder and my other hand around his waist then, placing both of his hands
on my waist, he pulled me as close as he could towards him and we started
dancing. "If something goes wrong in the bedroom simply tap on the necklace and
I will be at your side right along. Some of these men are rumored to be very
cruel when they have sexual relations with women which, is why I will be the
first man inside of you so, no man before me will harm you while their inside
you." He said as softly as he could over the music then, leaning in my ear, he
added. "When it is the man with the matted grey hair and blue eyes turn, you
must be very careful with him." 
Looking into my father's blue eyes, I tried to not show any signs of fear when
I asked why. 
Frowning at my question, he whispered again into my ear the reason why.
"Because sweetheart, that man is Fenrir Greyback and he's a werewolf, who
happens to take pleasure from biting children and turning them into Werewolves
after he rapes them. I'm just glad tonight is not a full moon or things might
get a bit hairy, no pun intended sweetheart." He said to me, as he held me even
closer then, added, "if I ever lost you, I would be devastated." After he
spoke, he kissed my lips with a final spin, we left the dance floor so, father
could mingle and introduce me to some of the guests.
While father's back was turned, I came face-to-face with the man or should I
say Werewolf, Fenrir Greyback.
"Don't you look just lovely in that dress my dear." He said to me, eyeing me up
and down then, licking his lips in a sexual manner afterwards, he moved closer
to me and leaned into my ear. "I'm sure the rest of you would look quite lovely
underneath me or better yet, inside my cock."
Greyback's words made me freeze up with fear and send chills up and down my
spine. "Thank you sir." I managed to get out before I turned my back on him
well, almost Greyback had a death grip on my arm. Turning my head towards him,
I added, "sir, it would be in your best interests to let me go, I have other
guests to attend to." I added to him darkly.
Pulling me closer, Greyback slipped an arm around my waist then breathed into
my ear. "Your guests can wait darling, I have matters for you to attend to that
can't wait. So why don't you and I slip away from here so, you can attend to
those needs then, you can go back to playing miss high and mighty pure blood
Malfoy." He hissed into my ear, growling afterwards, his voice laced with lust
and desire. "I mean, after all your everyone's whore for tonight." He added to
me, as he ran a hand across my breasts then, licked the side of my neck.
Turning my head to the side, I met Greyback's lust filled blue eyes. "I am
not a whore!" I whispered angrily to him, not wanting to cause a scene in front
father and his guests, I glared at him and my lip curled in at his words.
Greyback let out a thoarty laugh before tightening his grip around my waist and
pressing himself against my backside. "You could by my whore Ms. Malfoy, the
things I would love to do to you would leave you begging for more." He said to
me, running another hand across my breasts again.
Suddenly a wand was pressed against Greyback's forehead. "Let her go Fenrir,
I'd hate to cause a scene in front of such a beautiful lady while the girl's
father is only inches away from you." A stranger threatened him, his blue eyes
filled with anger, as he slid his hand in mine then, pulled me as gently as he
could from Greyback's arms into his. 
Staring into the stranger's eyes, Greyback's lips curled up before turning into
a fake smile then he let out a fake laugh before lowering his voice. ”Well,
well, well if it isn't Igor Karkaroff, your a very long way from your precious
Drumstang castle aren't you? I figured Lucius would have bettertaste in
friend's then you." He said coldly to him, nearly spitting out his last
sentence. 
The man named Igor Karkaroff gave Greyback a false smile before pointing his
wand at the werewolves throat before speaking. "I could say the same about you
Fenrir but, I would be sinking your level now wouldn't I? You a monster, your
just a werewolf in a sheep's clothing. Punintended." He said equally as coldly
to him then, turned his head and coming face-to-face with my father, who was
glaring at the two men and at Karkaroff's wand. 
Pulling out his own wand, Lucius gave the two men his own false smile before he
spoke. "Gentlemen, I would suggest you two behave yourself's or I might lose my
temper in front of my daughter and our guests, and I must certainly don't want
that to happen, I may ruin the evening, and everything I've done would be ruin
by two people who can't simply contain themselves. Now, break up this little
testosterone fest of yours and conduct your self's probably or the guests and
my daughter might see something that not even a Memory Charm could erase. Do I
make myself clear gentlemen?" He stated to them both, his voice ice cold as he
spoke to them.
Nodding their heads, Greyback left but, not before roughly shoving his shoulder
into Karkoff's arm, causing him to drop his wand onto the floor.
Bending down, I picked up Karkaroff's wand and handed it to him then whispered
a "thank you" to him before walking towards the refreshment table and pouring
myself a glass of soda, and sat at an empty table that was off towards the side
of the dance floor, trying to get rid of the images of what happened a moment
ago out of my head. 
Hearing someone take a seat next to me, I turned my head and saw Igor drinking
something hot, our eyes meeting one another's for the first time then, we both
looked away from each other as silence filled our table.
Clearing his throat, Igor gave me a smile. "I'm sorry about earlier but, I
could see the distress in your eyes when Fenrir had you his mercy and someone
had to put a stop to it before he took things a little to far for your father's
liking." He apologized to me then he took a sip from his drink. 
Giving Igor a smile, I held out my hand to him and he took it brining it to his
lips, he placed a light kiss in the middle of my hand. "My name's Kairi, and I
take it your the Headmaster of Drumstang Institute?" I asked him, putting my
hands in my lap once he let go of it. 
Nodding his head, he put his drink down on then, folded his hands on the table.
"I know who you are, Professor Snape has spoken quite highly of you." He said
to me, adding. "And your almost right, I was the Headmaster of Drumstang until
the school found out that I was a Death Eater and I was fired from my position
as Headmaster, now a former student of mine is my place, I couldn't be any
happier for the school." He confessed to me. 
Turning my head away, so Karkaroff wouldn't see me blushing, I heard his chair
scrapping against the stone floor then, I felt his hand on my shoulder and I
looked up into his eyes for a moment before looking away. Feeling his breath
against my ear sent several waves of pleasure up and down my spine, they felt
so good that I had to refrain from letting out a moan. "Ms. Malfoy, may I have
the pleasure of dancing with you?" He asked me, bowing slightly and holding out
his hand, waiting on me to either accept or decline his offer to dance with
him. 
Scooting out of my chair, I took his hand and he led me out on the dance floor.
Both of us not knowing that this would attract everyone's attention including
my father's.... 
 
~End of Kairi's P.O.V~ 
 
~Lucius's P.O.V~ 
 
I was in the middle of having a rather lovely conversation with Dolohov when he
suddenly stopped talking and looked past me and onto the dance floor.
 
"What in Merlin's beard is Karkaroff doing here?" Dolohov whispered under
breath.  
Whipping my head around at the mention of Igor Karkaroff's name. I saw that
everyone in the room had stopped talking and were watching the coward that
dared to call himself a former Death Eater dancing with none other then my
daughter! Not tearing my eyes away from the coward who was waltzing with my
daughter, I felt my blood boil and my upper lip curling in, I let out a snarl.
That coward has his hands on my daughter. Is he asking for the Killing Curse?
Or is he trying to make a move on her? Either way, he'll wish that he never
been born. I thought to myself, as I pulled out my wand but, Dolohov stopped
me.
"Calm yourself Lucius, let the coward have his dance with your daughter. I'm
sure after the dance is over, everyone will want to dance with your daughter,
it's good business isn't it Lucius?" Dolohov asked me, the tone in his voice
was one of digust and pure hatred for Karkaroff, who was the most hated man in
the room right at this moment, and if he hadn't been in my daughter's arms,
he'd be a dead man as well.
Letting out a chuckle, I put my wand away and relaxed my body while watching
the event unfolding in front of my eyes. "Yes, your right Dolohov, this dance
will make for good business for not only my daughter but, for myself as well."
I said to him, my eyes never leaving the back of Karkaroff's head, hoping he
could feel my eyes burning into the back of his skull. 
A sinster smile appeared on my lips as I thought of beating my daughter
senseless after everyone left the manor tonight... 
 
~End of Lucius's P.O.V~ 
 
~Kairi's P.O.V~ 
 
As the last note in the dance came go a close, Karkaroff bent down and kissed
my hand again and leaned into my ear. "Once everyone has left, if you would
wish, will you meet me in the gardens?" He asked me, adding. "I will understand
if you decline Ms. Malfoy but, if you get a chance once this all over, I would
like for us to at least maybe send letters to each other? If not, I will
understand why." 
 
Looking into his eyes, I gave him a smile. "I may not make it to the gardens
tonight but, I would like for us as well to send letters to one another but,
aren't you going to partake in the activities later on tonight Mr. Karkaroff?"
I asked him quietly. 
Frowning at my question, Igor looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "No, Ms.
Malfoy, I only came to see what you looked like after hearing so much from
Severus, that I had to see for myself, and I must say, Severus was right, and I
do not believe in one night stands, their for teenagers who can't control their
testosterone, I can. Do Svidaniya (good bye) Ms. Malfoy, until we meet again."
Was all he said to me before lightly placing a kiss on my cheek and my hand
then, walked away from me Disparting a moment later. 
Placing a hand on my cheek from where Igor's lips were, I blushed and let out a
sigh then turned around and I was met with pair of blue eyes that belong to my
very enraged father.
Grabbing my forearm he led me to the room that was across from the gardens
then, opening the door, he dragged me in the room and slammed the door shut
behind him and that night, I received the worst beating that I've had and what
was even more saddening about it was, everyone heard was what begin done to
me....

Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V
~At the Malfoy Manor, Early in the Morning, Two and a Half Months Later~ 
 
Pocketing the letters between Karkaroff and I in a hidden pocket in my school
robes, grabbing my school trunk, I headed out of my bedroom without even giving
it one last look.
 
Even though pain and soreness was shooting all over my body, I managed to put
on a fake smile going down the stairs slowly and painfully, reaching the bottom
step, I headed to the living room, stopping a few feet away from the living
room when I heard raised voice coming from my aunt and father, which only meant
I had to get out of this manor even sooner. For the last two and a half months,
I was living in a nightmare, my father used me as his punching bag and as his
whore. I could hardly be called his "daughter" anymore well at least in his
eyes now. The "father" I once knew was dead and gone in his place, was a
monster who may have looked and acted my father but, he wasn't he was just a
wolf in sheep's clothing. 
"Leave! Get out of my house both of you!" Lucius shouted to Bellatrix.
Setting my trunk somewhere hidden and safe, I quietly his myself in the
shadows, and watched the scene unfold a few feet away from me.
Bellatrix's eyes rolled and she let out a fake yawn. "Lucius, Lucius, Lucius,
how many times do I have to tell you that Draco and I are only here to say good
bye to Kairi?" She said to him, her wand at her side.
Father's upper lip curled in as he brought his wand to Bellatrix's chest area
before he spoke to her. "I don't give a damn Bellatrix! I will kill you both if
your still here, this is not your home, it's mine and what I say goes, now
leave!" He roared out to both my brother and my aunt.
Hearing a "poof" a moment later, I saw Professor Snape enter the room and
blocking my view from seeing anything else expect for the professor's black
robes. "Stop this childish behavior both of you. Especially you Lucius, if
Bella and Draco want to see Kairi then, let them see her. If this kind of
behavior continues then, I will personally see that neither of you will get to
see her. Now, both of you conduct your self's like adults and say your good
bye's to Ms. Malfoy." He said calmly to the three adults in the room.
Turning on his heel, Lucius stormed out of the living room, Severus right on
his heels as he grabbed his former best friend by his shoulder's and pinned him
against a wall that was out of ear and eye shot from the living room but, only
a few feet away from me. 
Staring into each other's eyes with their lips curled up into snarls, Severus
lowered his voice. "Your a very disgusting man Lucius Malfoy, and I despise
every fiber of you. If your son and ex sister-in-law weren't in the next room,
I would kill you where you stand, and not shed a single tear for you, your
children on the other hand might. Your actions over the summer with your
daughter, are something no man should ever commit nor should he engage in them,
and you well, you've all ready made your bed, haven't you Lucius?" He said
coldly to him.
Lucius looked at Snape in shock then, he gave him an evil, twisted grin. "So,
you figured me out, haven't you?" He asked him, adding. "I'm surprised you
haven't told the Ministry Severus." 
With his upper lip still in a snarl, Severus looked at him dead in his eyes. "I
would but, Dumbledore said that I shouldn't, he said, that not even spending
the rest of your worthless life in Azkaban could save your soul, he also said,
your actions will come back to haunt you. I disagree with Albus, I think
spending the rest of your life in a prison might kill whatever good you have
left in you and when that day comes, I willbe there and so will your children.
Draco, Bellatrix and Narcissa maybe blind to what happened this summer but, I'm
not, which is why the Headmaster has placed your daughter under my care until
he can find a more stable situation that would suit your daughter's needs. He
also has banned you from entering the school grounds and as well as any letters
youmight send to her." 
Raising an eyebrow at Severus's words, Lucius gave him a coy smile then he
spoke to him. "That's fine with me, I hope my whore of a daughter enjoy's begin
under your care because, the only thing she's good at is getting on her knees
and sucking cock for money, and I'm sure she would gladly suck yours,
Dumbledore's, and Karkoff's all at once for better grades. Now, if you have
anything else to say, I have work to do. Now take the whore, my ex sister in
law and my son, and get out of my sight." Lucius said coldly to him.
Pinning him even further into the wall, Severus lowered his voice into a hoarse
whisper before speaking. "How dare you talk about your own daughter like that!
She is a person, not an object! I hope you enjoy spending the rest of your life
alone Lucius because once Draco and Narcissa hear about your actions, they'll
never speak to you again, and that's a lot more then men like you deserve. I
hope you lose sleep and kill yourself Lucius, your nothing more then a man who
has to much money and to much time on his hands." With those said, Snape
released Lucius from his grip and watched him walk off like nothing happened
between the two angry men. Turning his head in my direction, he added to me.
"Come out Ms. Malfoy, it's over. I hope you enjoyed that little show of ours
because, if I ever hear any of this slip out of your mouth to anyone including
the Headmaster and your family, you'll wish that you've never been born. Just
because your a Prefect and in my house, doesn't mean I can't make your life ten
times worst. Now go say your good byes and let's leave before someone
really does get hurt." 
Nodding my head, I headed in the direction of the kitchen to say my good byes
to the house elf's and give them farewell gifts.
Opening the kitchen door, I saw all ten house elves look at me with frown on
their faces expect for Mouse who ran into my arms as soon as I walked into the
kitchen.
"Mistress Kairi! Mistress Kairi Mouse has missed you so much and so have the
others, are we going to make a mess again? Mouse really enjoyed that, Mouse
liked cleaning it because it made everyone happy." He said to me, as he let me
go and looked up at me, a frown suddenly appearing on his face when he met my
eyes. "Mistress Kairi, what's wrong?" He added to me.
Bending down on my knees, I touched Mouse's shoulder and looked into his eyes,
which were starting to fill up with tears. "Mouse, this is good bye for good.
I'm leaving the manor and never coming back." I confessed to them all. "But,
before I go, I would like to give you all a present." 
The elves started whispering amongst themselves but, Mouse quieted them down
and told them to gather around me. 
Taking off my hair pin that Karkoff gave me over the summer in one of his
letters, I handed it to Mouse, who looked at the hair pin then at me as tears
started to spill from his eyes. 
Turning to the other house elf's, Mouse started jumping up and down with joy.
"Mouse is free! Mouse is free! Mouse is free thanks to mistress Kairi!" He
exclaimed to the others. 
Looking up at me, the house elf's smiled at me, as one-by-one they started
lining up to receive an article of clothing from me. My present for them, was
their freedom from the manor.
Waiting on them to leave, I noticed that none of them left, not even the
stubbornness of them all Bull, left the kitchen, they all stayed where they
were at, looking up at me.
"Mistress Kairi, what do you want Mouse to do now, now that Mouse and the
others are free?" He asked me.
Smiling at them, I wiped the tears from my face before I spoke to them. "I
don't want you to do anything. Your all free, you can leave leave the manor or
you can stay at Hogwarts." I said to them.
Walking towards me, Mouse held onto my hand then looked up at me. "Mouse will
go wherever mistress Kairi goes. If mistress Kairi goes to Hogwarts then Mouse
will go to Hogwarts." He confessed to me.
The other house elves mummured in agreement as they looked up at me. "The house
elves will go where mistress Kairi goes." They all said to me, smiles on their
faces afterwards.
Nodding my head, I squeezed Mouse's hand and let out a sigh. "Well, I'm going
to Hogwarts so if you want to go to Hogwarts then you may I believe Headmaster
Dumbledore let's the house elf's work in the kitchen." I said to them, as one-
by-one the house elf's poofed away to Hogwarts expect for Mouse, who was still
standing by my side.
Mouse was about to speak when he thrown backwards by my enraged father, whose
wand was now pointing at me. Before I had chance to speak, I was slammed
against the fridge withhis wand against my thoart. "Where are the house elf's
Kairi?" He asked me sweetly, pointing his wand even more into my thoart. 
Looking straight into his eyes, I gave him a grin. "Their free, I freed them
and now their at Hogwarts on their own free accord." I confessed to him. 
Turning his head at Mouse, he pointed a finger at him. "Then why is that
creature still here?" He growled out to me.
Standing up, Mouse curled up his hands into fists and charged at Lucius,
letting out a battle cry. "Mouse will not let mistress Kairi be abused or
harmed by anyone anymore!" He cried out, as he leapt at his former master and
tried to take it from him but, he was hit with my father's cane, and he was
thrown back onto the kitchen floor. 
"Stop Mouse! Go to Hogwarts, please!" I cried out to him, as the kitchen door
swung open and in came Professor Snape and aunt Bellatrix with their wands out
and pointed at my father.
"Lucius let her go, she is coming to Hogwarts with me." Snape said calmly to
him. 
Releasing his grip on me, father's lip went in a snarl before he brought his
hand across my all ready bruised cheek well, he tried to but, aunt Bellatrix
sent him flying away from me before nodding her head at Snape.
Turning to Mouse, I told him to leave and go to Hogwarts where the other house
elf's were waiting on him.
Blinking his eyes, Mouse snapped his fingers and poofed away to Hogwarts. 
Suddenly spells flashed before my eyes from both my aunt and my father, who
were in the middle of having a very nasty fight between the two of them. A
spell was headed in my direction but, Professor Snape deflected it and gripped
my arm and we apprated to Hogwarts...

~At Hogwarts, Inside Professor Snape's Classroom~
 
Staring into Professor Snape's eyes, I was about to thank him, but he cut me
off with a wave of his hand. "Now is not the time to thank me Ms. Malfoy, you
have injuries that need to be attended to. Remove your robes now Ms. Malfoy!"
He said to me, the tone in his voice was filled with worry and anger. "Ms.
Malfoy now is not the time to be modest quickly remove your robes or I'll do it
for you." He added darkly to me. 
 
Gulping at the professor's words, and I quickly started removing my robes,
shivering a little after my clothes were off, because the classroom was
frigging' cold, as always, and I was standing beside my potions professor
nearly naked, which caused me to blush.
Letting out a sigh as he watched me shivering, he pointed his wand at a
fireplace and muttered, "Incendio" then asked me to tie my hair up, and I did,
and he started walking slowly in a circle, his black eyes remaining emotionless
as he examined every bruise, mark, scrape and dried blood on my body.
I bit my lip the entire time that Professor Snape circled me, looking away from
him as we met eyes, I focused my eyes on the floor. 
When he finished circling me, he laid his hand gently on my scarred back and
led me to his desk, and with a wave of his wand everything on his desk, he told
me to lay on his desk then, casted Colloportus and Salvio Hexia on the
classroom door along with with an Intruder Charm, then he spoke to me. "Ms.
Malfoy this will hurt and I'm sorry." Was all he said to me, as he walked
towards me, and I felt his wand begin pointed on my scarred back. "Brackium
Emendo." Digging my nails into the edge of his desk, I let out a scream, and I
felt my wrists and ankles begin gently bound to his desk. 
"This is to prevent you from injuring yourself even further Ms. Malfoy." He
explained to me before running his wand up and down my back while muttering
"Brackium Emendo" and "Tergeo", while trying his best to remain as emotionless
as possible, while I was letting ear splitting screams.
"Please professor, please stop. It hurts to much. Please professor let me
please take a rest." I begged to him, ignoring the tears falling down my face. 
Giving me a frown, Professor Snape cleared his throat, trying to rid himself of
any emotions that might come up when he spoke to me. "Ms. Malfoy if I stop now,
you'll be in even more pain then you were before you arrived here. Do you want
me to summon Madam Promfery, or would you like me to finish before it gets to
late?" He calmly asked me, as he continued running his wand up and down my
spine. 
My eyes widened at the mere mention of Madam Promfery, letting out a quiet
"no", I lowered my head onto the desk and stayed as quiet and stayed as quiet
as a sleeping Threstal. 
Letting out a quiet chuckle and shaking his head, Professor Snape muttered out
"Brackium Emendo" over and over again in the middle of my spinal cord, where
the injuries were the worst. 
For the next hour or so, Professor Snape and I barely spoke to one another,
then as I felt my eyes start to get heavy with sleep, I felt his hand on my
shoulder.
Blinking my eyes in a desperate attempt to stay awake, I turned my head and
looked at Professor Snape with a sleepy smile. "Are we all done now?" I asked
him, my voice laced with the need to just curl up somewhere and sleep.
Nodding his head, Professor Snape pointed his wand at the classroom door and
muttered "Aparcelam" then he held out his hand to me. "There's one last thing
you must do Ms. Malfoy." He said to me once I was off his desk and dressed back
in my school robes.
Looking at him and gave him a smile. "Yes Professor, what is it?" I asked him.
Waving his wand, he muttered. "Accio Muscle Relaxing Potion." Then summoning a
goblet, he put his wand away and poured me a large glass of the nasty muscle
relaxing potion.
Curling my nose up at the goblet, I turned my head away, but Professor Snape
gently grabbed the back of my head and started shoving the drink down my throat
until the potion was gone. Coughing a little afterwards, I glared at him. "What
the hell was that for professor?" I nearly shouted at him. 
Frowning at my foul language Professor Snape raised an eyebrow at me. "Language
Ms. Malfoy, I don't want to have to take house points away from a student,
especially a student from my own house, and whose suppose to be a role model to
the younger members in her house." He warned me, then added to me. "I knew you
weren't going to drink that potion without some force, so I just eased the
transaction along." 
Rolling my eyes, I crossed my arms over my chest and let out a scoff. "Can I go
to bed now?" I asked him. 
Nodding a "yes" to me, we started heading out of the classroom together when
the door was roughly pushed open and in the doorway, stood Headmaster
Dumbledore and the one person I never thought I'd see again, Igor Karkaroff.
Whose blue eyes lit up instantly when he saw me, but he quickly changed the
expression when he saw Professor Snape standing beside me. 
"Hello Headmaster." Professor Snape and I said at the same time.
Nodding his head at us, Dumbledore gave us both a smile, before he made his way
towards me, and pulled me into a gentle hug, then whispered into my ear, "I'm
so sorry Ms. Malfoy, had I known-," he cut himself off and released me from his
hold, before turning his head at Igor and motioning him to come in. 
Shuffling his feet on the stone floor, Igor looked at the Headmaster. "Yes
sir?" He asked him, not even daring to look in Snape's direction. 
Eyeing me Dumbledore gave Igor a warm smile. "Will you please escort Ms. Malfoy
to her room, it's the picture of Salazar Slytherin, and the password, well you
know what the password is don't you? And I presume you know where your room is
as well?" He asked him. 
Standing at attention, Igor firmly nodded his head. "Yes Headmaster, I will
escort-," Snape cut him off. "Albus I really don't think that's necessary, I
would prefer to take Ms. Malfoy-," Dumbledore dismissed Snape's comment with
the wave of his hand. 
"Nonsense Severus, Karkaroff's more then capable of taking Ms. Malfoy to her
room. Besides, you and I have personal matters to discuss, and I don't think
Ms. Malfoy can stay awake for much longer either." He said to him. 
Refraining from letting out a nasty insult at Karkaroff or Dumbledore, he just
gave him a frown, then spoke. "Yes Headmaster." And with those words said, the
two men left the room. Well, almost until Headmaster Dumbledore  made sure
Professor Snape was out of earshot before he spoke to us. "I heard there's
suppose to be a lovely night sky out tonight, you might want to go see it, I
heard there's not suppose to be another one for at least two hundred years, you
two might hurry to the Astronomy Tower, because after three A.M it'll be gone."
He quietly said to us before telling us good night and went to go catch up with
Professor Snape. 
Meeting each other's eyes for the first time since the dance, Karkaroff took my
hand and we headed off towards the Astronomy Tower....
***** Chapter Twelve. Demon's (Snape's Confession) {Part One} *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Snape's P.O.V, and the truth finally comes out as
     to why Snape is acting the way he is, and no in chapter ten that
     wasn't Bellatrix with Draco, it was his mother, she must have used a
     polyjuice potion or something to make herself look like Bellatrix,
     because it was the only way she could see her daughter before she
     left for Hogwarts.
~Inside Dumbledore's Office~
 
Once the door was closed, I let my emotions finally come out. "Headmaster as
much as I trust you, I think your making a mistake by allowing Karkaroff to
teach here, especially in a position that he's so skilled at." I quickly said
to him then added, "why don't you just put a sign that says: "Death Eaters Are
Welcome"! Then we might as well forget the mission that you originally put me
in charge of. Karkaroff is going to-," Albus cut me off with a wave of his hand
as he usually does when he doesn't want hear the truth.
 
Sitting at his desk, Albus gestured for me to take a seat across from him, and
I sat down before he spoke to me. "Severus we both know Voldemort has returned,
and now more then ever I need you to relay everything he says to me, rather or
not it's about Kairi. Severus, he will come for her, there's no doubt about
that, and when that time comes, I want you and Igor to hide Ms. Malfoy, where
ever you can. You need to put the past behind you and focus on the task at
hand-," I cut him off, as I stood up and slammed my hands down on his desk. "I
am focused on the task at hand. I just spent nearly two hours healing the girl
Headmaster! If I hadn't healed her by tomorrow, there's no telling rather she'd
be dead or alive, no thanks to her controlling and abusive father! Had it not
been for Narcissa and Draco tipping me off and creating a distraction before
hand, the girl would've been on the brink of death's doorstep!" I nearly
shouted at him as we met eyes.
Taking in everything that I said, Dumbledore frowned at me. "Severus, I know
you took an Unbreakable Vow this summer Narcissa and had Draco casting it to
ensure the girl's protection, had it not been for Narcissa and Draco begging
you for help, neither us would've known that Ms. Malfoy was in serious trouble,
and I'm sure their both very grateful for that, as well as Igor for keeping us
both updated over the summer on the girl's status." Dumbledore said to me,
adding to me. "What I'm trying to ask, is would you still watch over the girl
had you not taken that vow?" He asked me. 
Removing my hands from the desk, I pulled out my wand and waved it around in a
circle, and muttered "Expecto Potrum" then a blue fox appeared out of it, and
it made a circle around Dumbledore and I before disappearing a moment later.
Shaking his head, Dumbledore gave me a weak smile. "You not only deeply care
for the girl, but dare I say this. You are in love with her? Severus, I am
truly shocked by this." He confessed to me. 
Turning away from the Headmaster, I walked towards the window and ignored the
tears starting to slide down my cheeks. "Yes my headmaster, I've watched her
over the years grow into a young woman. I'm not to sure when she grew up, but
she did, and I deeply regret it, I'm sure Narcissa noticed it. Either way,
neither her or myself ever expected her to grow up so fast, and it's because of
her swine of a father, who we both suspect started at least the physical abuse
by the age of eleven, that was nearly five years ago. It's no mystery how Kairi
managed to get those horrid scars that will forever remain on her back." I said
to him then added. "Had Narcissa not come to my home all those years ago,
asking if I could somehow heal the scars on her daughter's back, I would've
never imagine, even in my wildest dreams, that a girl like herself, a girl who
is exceptionally smart, talented and loved her very much by her mother and
brother would have had to suffer so much just because her father can't get his
emotions and testosterone in check." Was all I could manage to get out before I
leaned against the wall that was next to the window and before I could contain
the tears, I started sobbing in front of Dumbledore. 
Standing up, Dumbledore walked towards me and looked down at me, then laid a
hand on my shoulder. "Severus, this isn't your fault, don't you ever think for
a second that any of this is all resting on your shoulders, because it isn't.
If it comes down to it, I'll have the Order take her in for protection, perhaps
her aunt Tonks and uncle Remus would like to take her in?" He asked me, giving
me a warm smile after he spoke. 
Rolling my eyes and scoffing at Dumbledore's suggestion of a werewolf and his
wife taking in Kairi, almost made me laugh. "Yes Headmaster, a werewolf would
be the perfect home for Kairi." I said sarcastically to him. 
Dumbledore just shook his head and gave me a frown. "Then what do you suggest I
do Severus? I will prefer not to keep her during the breaks, even though it
would be wise to keep her here. Ms. Malfoy is like any other student Severus,
she needs to be outside the castle walls with peers her own age." He stated to
me.
Standing up, I wiped the tears away from my face. "I agree with you Headmaster,
I can't watch over her as much as I would like to during the breaks, and I
can't trust Karkaroff to watch over her, he might let something slip to Ms.
Malfoy or even worst, he might bring her straight into the Dark Lord's arms." I
said to him.
Easing an eyebrow at me, Dumbledore let out a sigh. "Severus, Karkaroff's a
double agent just like you are. You think he went to the "party" that Lucius
held over the summer because, he wanted to? No Severus, I asked to him go, and
he did. He had quite a good time, and he said to me afterwards, that he would
go again, but under better crimstances." He paused to take a breath before
speaking again. "While you were conveying messages to me this messages to me
this summer, Igor and I made our own Unbreakable Vow this summer, with Draco as
our witness although, I cannot go into details, Igor promised me to watch over
Ms. Malfoy during the breaks, while you are busy with Voldemort. In exchange, I
gave him a chance to start over here, and his one and only chance to redeem
himself. Do you understand now Severus? Both of you have your own separate
missions, but you both have the same goal, and that's to protect Kairi, no
matter the cost, you both accepted that when you both took your Unbreakable
Vows this summer. Now, let's change the subject, shall we?" He asked me then,
headed back to his desk, and took a seat.
Walking back to the desk, I took my original seat across from him, not
answering his question, I forced myself to change the topic, and the topic now
was the Order and most of the things that we discussed over the summer. 
 
~An Hour Later~
 
"Then it's settled Severus, we'll have Mrs. Love good and Mr. Longbottom, and
Sirius watch over her. And if that fails, then Tonks and Remus will step in. We
must at all costs make sure that Ms. Malfoy's protection is our primary goal
outside of Hogwarts. I'm quite sure the Lovegood's would be more then happy to
take Kairi in during the breaks, I heard that Ms. Malfoy and both Mr. Lorcan
and Mr. Lysander, and even their youngest child Ms. Bella have all taken a
great liking towards her so, I don't think there will be a problem in that
area. Is there anything you want to add before we call it a night?" He asked
me. 
 
Shaking my head "no", I scooted the chair and bid the Headmaster a "good
night", but he stopped me by grabbing my arm. "Severus you and Igor will have
to get along for the sake of Kairi's well begin, at least. After all you two
will be working with each other at least three times a week. If everything I
have planned fails, then at least I can know that the students aren't
defenseless against Voldemort or Death Eaters if they should come knocking at
our door." Was all he said to me, before letting go of my arm and letting me
leave his office so I could get some sleep...

     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~At the Astronomy Tower, Later on That Night~ 
 
Lighting my cigarette and his as well, Igor gave me a smile and we both leaned
against the tower's rails, just enjoying each other's company  and staring at
the beautiful night sky, we met each other's eyes for a moment then looked
away, both of us to nervous to speak. 
 
"Ms. Malfoy, I know what your father has done to you, and I'm sorry." He
confessed to me, as he reached for my hand, then lightly gave it a squeeze. 
Turning my head away from him, I took a drag off the cigarette and slipped my
hand out of his before I spoke to him. "Who told you Igor? Was it Professor
Snape or was it Headmaster Dumbledore?" I asked him, nearly shouting my
questions at him, as I turned around and faced him, meeting his eyes so he
could see the anger and hurt inside of them.
Taking a couple of steps back, Igor held his hands up as a sign of surrender.
"No one told me Ms. Malfoy, I saw it in your body posture when we danced at the
"party" together, and I noticed that when we met eyes you often tense up and
start to get nervous, and your eyes would often be searching for your father in
the crowd." He paused to take a drag off of his cigarette then, spoke a moment
later, and exhaling the chemicals while speaking. "Although I'm not to sure
what he did to you, and as much as I'd like to know, I will wait until you
think it's okay to talk about it. Just remember that what happened over the
summer isn't your fault, and your in the safest place in the entire Wizarding
world, protected by a loving and caring Headmaster and his staff. The
Headmaster, Severus and I will make sure that nothing like that will happen to
you again. I give you my word." With those words said, Igor held his hand out
and waited on me to take it. 
Looking into his eyes, I raised an eyebrow at him then pulled out my wand and
pointed it at his chest. "How do I know that your not lying, and that you won't
run straight to the Ministry and tell them? How do I know that you won't run to
Dumbledore's office and tell him? How do I know-," I was cut off when I heard a
"poof" beside me.
Looking down at me was the Headmaster who appeared beside me with his wand out
and staring at Karkaroff. "Because Ms. Malfoy, Mr. Igor Karkaroff is a member
of the Order, and he's working for me." He confessed to me, adding to me. "If
you still don't believe me, only the real Karkaroff could answer this question,
my last words to you before you left to go to Malfoy Manor were?" He asked him
in a Russian.
Firmly nodding his head, Karkaroff responded first in Russian then, responded
in English. "Keep her safe, keep her protected and most of all, keep your true
nature hidden from her and the Ministry." He said to us.
My mouth I opened in shock then I lowered my head and apologized to Karkaroff
before looking at the ground biting my lip. "I'm sorry, I didn't believe you-,"
Igor cut me off by leaning over and meeting my eyes before speaking to me.
"There is nothing to be sorry about Ms. Malfoy." He said to me. 
With those words said, the Headmaster "proofed" away, and left Igor and I alone
once again. 
Throwing our cigarettes down the tower, we looked at each other before taking
each other's hands, we looked at the sky and stood next to each other in
silence until Karkaroff broke the silence. "Are you nervous about tomorrow? I
mean, you have five different tests to take, and only have a limited amount of
time." He said calmly to me. 
Looking up at him, I gave him a smile before I lit another cigarette. "Nope,
I'm not nervous at all, I've been studying for nearly two months, besides if I
don't get all O's, I can't attend U.A and M, and I'll have to go to W and
W.C.C, just like my brother, and that's not what I want." I confessed to him,
as I took a rather long drag off the cigarette then, exhaling a moment later.
"I'll be fine Karkaroff, I promise. Besides, most of the professor's are
letting me have an hour and a half to take their tests. Well expect for
Professor Snape's, he's only letting me have an hour." I added to him. 
Nodding his head, Igor looked away from me then, looked up at the sky before
becoming silent again, thinking the entire time. She has got to joking, not
even my students could finish all of their tests in seven hours! Turning his
head towards me, he gave me a smile. "So, why are you doing this Kairi? Are you
trying to prove something? Or are you wanting to get out of Hogwarts faster so,
you can get a head start in college?" He asked me. 
Looking into his eyes, I frowned at his words. "It's neither of those reasons
Igor, I have my own personal reasons for wanting to go to U.A and M." I said
coldly to him, as I took a drag off my cigarette. 
Giving me a confused look, Karkaroff just shook his head but, didn't press the
matter any further. "I'm not to sure if I should tell you this, but you'll find
out tomorrow afternoon when you come to take your Defense Against the Dark Arts
test anyways, but I'm your new D.A.D.A professor." He said to me, a small smile
on his face after he spoke to me.
Smiling back at him, I took one last drag off the cigarette then, stamped it
out before kicking it over the Astronomy Tower and exhaling the last of the
cigarette's chemicals before speaking to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts
professor. "I kind of figured that out by myself professor. Someone was going
to have to take over Professor Slughorn's Potions position." I said to him as
we started leaving the Astronomy Tower together and heading towards the
dungeons....

*****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Igor's P.O.V
~At Hogwarts, Sometime Towards the End of June, in Dumbledore's Office~ 
 
I eyed the Headmaster and let out a sigh. I just returned from the Malfoy Manor
and even though, I personally didn't like that so-called "party", I had a
wonderful time. Even if it was under Dumbledore's orders. Finally meeting Kairi
and dancing with her was the highlight of my night. 
 
Just from reading the expression on my face, Dumbledore must've known that I
had a great time. "I take you had a wonderful time Igor? Did you learn anything
about new Ms. Malfoy?" He asked me, the tone in his voice was a happy one but,
also a serious one. 
Taking a seat across from the Headmaster's desk, I returned to my
expressionless and emotionless self before answering the older man's question.
"Yes Headmaster, I had a wonderful time, and as for learning anything new about
Ms. Malfoy, I learned that she is everything that Severus has told us." I
answered him, as I folded my hands in my lap.
Nodding his head as I spoke Dumbledore folded his hands but laid them on the
table. "Good. Did you learn anything else about her? And did she agree to send
letters to you this summer?" He asked me before reaching over and grabbing a
lemon drop then, popping one in his mouth, he started sucking on it. 
I nodded my head "yes" to both of his questions, I spoke to him. "What Narcissa
feared has been confirmed. Lucius is in fact, been sexually abusing her, even
though she tried very hard to hide it, all I had to do was look into her eyes
and I knew at once that she was begin abused and she was under some kind of
potion that Lucius must've been made to keep her under his control. That man
disgusts me Headmaster! If I wasn't under your strict orders not to kill that
bastard, I would in a heart beat. There's one thing that Severus and I agree,
is Lucius needs to die, and he needs to suffer a very slow and painful death.
Are you sure that you don't want the Ministry involved in this? They could
prevent this from ever happening again, the poor girl's been through so much
and she doesn't even know it." I confessed to him.
Narrowing his gaze at me when I mentioned about the Ministry and wanting to
kill Lucius, Dumbledore frowned at me. "Igor, not even whatever "potion" Lucius
managed to brew up, can keep his daughter under his full control, it must be a
temporary one. The only person I know who can make a potion that will keep
someone fully under their control works for me, and I know Severus would never
do something like that but, given the chance, like you, Severus would kill
Lucius without a second glance. Now as for the Ministry, we can't trust them.
Arthur, Draco, Ron, Harry, Tonks, Alastor and Kingsley have all informed me
that in six month's time, the Death Eaters will have infiltrated the Ministry
once again and Voldemort will it under his full control once again. I've been
informed by Alastor Moody that each week a new Death Eater is very slowly
working their way up in the Ministry's ranks. Very soon we will have a full
scale war on our hands Igor and when that happens Voldemort will come straight
for Hogwarts, and he won't stop until he has Ms. Malfoy in his hands which is
why, I've managed to get the Order back together and I wish for you to join it,
Rufus Scrimgeour is begin placed under strict orders to stay at Grimmauld Place
until the Death Eaters and their master come for Kairi. I know that this is a
lot to take in after your wonderful night with Ms. Malfoy, but trust me Igor,
Kingsley, Remus, Draco, Narcissa, Severus and Sirius are watching everything
that Lucius is doing to his daughter. If he picks his nose, Kingsley will be
informed immediately. Mr. Malfoy doesn't know, is that one of his House elf's,
Mouse I believe that's his name, is also working for us." Dumbledore paused to
chew up the last of his lemon drop in his mouth then, he took a breath before
going on. "Plus we have another Death Eater, other then Severus, who is working
with us." He added to me.
Raising my eyebrows at the Headmaster's words, I eyed him. "Who?" I asked him.
Giving me a warm smile, he spoke. "Rodolphus Lestrange, Kairi's uncle, but he
has been ordered by me not to tell anyone, so his cover wouldn't be blown. Not
even Narcissa, Bellatrix, Severus or Draco know about this, and it would be in
your best interest /not/ to tell them. Rodolphus may not seem like a soft-
hearted man, but he deeply cares about his niece and he wishes to not see her
go down the same path that he watched his nephew go down all those years ago.
He's been a double spy ever since Voldemort died. He may not be a member of the
Order, but he's a crucial key member of the plan." He confessed to me.
Nodding my head, I let out a sigh. "What if everything fails and Kairi is taken
by the Dark Lord from right under our noses Albus, what happens then?" I asked
him. 
Meeting my eyes, he gave me another smile. "Don't worry about that Karkaroff,
my plans won't fail. Trust me, I've been going through everything in my head.
I've also reached out to Alice and Frank Longbottom, they may not still be able
to have all of their sanity back but, I'm hoping with Severus's help in two
months time, they will hopefully have their sanity back and fully recovered." 
Letting out another sigh, I ran a hand through my hair. "And why do you trust
me more then Severus with this information?" I asked him. 
"Because Igor, should I or Severus die then you must carry out your mission at
all costs." He said to me, the tone in his voice was deeply serious then, he
added. "Besides, I may not approve of your "relationship" with Ms. Malfoy, but
I can tell that you deeply care about her and that you would do anything for
her. Regardless of what might happen to you in the long run, I'm sure in a few
month's time you and her will become more then friends. I understand your a man
who honor's a woman's needs before his own, and I know that would do everything
in your power to try undo the damage that's all ready been done to her, even if
it means going against your own desires. For example, as much as you've wanted
to have slept with her tonight, you won't do it because that might cause her
even more damage and you want to wait for her decide. Now if you think you have
anything to add, I would like to go to bed. I'm not as young as I use to be."
He joked to me.
Nodding my head, I stood up and Albus and I shook hands and bid each other good
night to each other before I left his office to go to my private chambers to
sleep...
***** Chapter Fifteen. First Test (Transfiguration) *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~The Next Day, Inside Hogwarts, At Kairi's Transfiguration Class~ 
 
Eyeing Professor McGonagall, I took a seat in the only desk in her classroom
then pulled out my quill, I was ready to take my quiz.
 
Nodding her head, Professor McGonagall said. "You may begin now Ms. Malfoy."
She said to me, a hidden smile on her face, adding. "Please note that this
isn't your standard O.W.L test, there are questions that you might not know
until you reach your sixth and maybe even possibly your seventh year in this
class. Now make me proud." Was all she said to me, thinking in her head
afterwards. Don't make me regret giving you this test, even I don't what's in
the test. I really want to see you go into U.A and M. and possibly becoming an
Arour. 
Opening the test booklet, I eyed the first question. 
What spell transfigures objects into quills?
Writing down "Scribblifors", I answered the next twenty one questions, like
they were nothing until I came to question twenty one, and it was on
Animagus's, another easy subject.
Can Animagus's transfigure themselves into more then one animal? If so why?
Writing down a "no" I explained why my answer was no. Unless it's Human
Transfiguration, but the one casting the spell must be careful because, if they
transfigure the target into a dumb animal/creature like a deer then, unlike an
Animagi, who can transfigure themselves back into their original form and still
retain their physical appearance, a Human Transfiguration will be Dependent on
the caster to transfigure them. Also, this is why Human Transfiguration's
aren't recommended to cast this type of Transfiguration on themselves.
Answering the five Transfiguration essay question's with ease, I flew through
the test with flying colors until I came to the last and final question. 
What are the four branches of Transfiguration?
I eyed the question then, looked at Professor McGonagall with a confused look
on my face before returning my eyes back to the question. Okay, this test is
way to easy. Surely, this isn't the real test this might be some sort of pre-
test. I thought to myself before writing down, Transformation, Vanishment,
Conjuration, and Untransfiguration. Then, I set my quill down and closed my
test booklet and looked at Professor McGonagall with a smile. 
Meeting my eyes, she nodded her head and walked towards my desk, and pointed
her wand at my test and quill before making them both disappear, possibly to
Headmaster Dumbledore's office then, summoned several items on my desk and told
me to transfigure them all into a rat, some food, and a leaf.
Nodding my head, I pulled out my wand and pointed my wand at the goblet and I
turned the goblet into a rat then, pointing at the rock, I transformed it into
a piece of chocolate pie and finally, I looked at the marble and transfigured
it into a leaf. Putting my wand back into my pocket, I smiled at Professor
McGonagall and waited on my next test. 
Beaming at me, Professor McGonagall made all the items on my desk disappear
expect for the slice of chocolate pie. She summoned two forks and a knife and
pulled up a chair and took a seat at my desk, she handed me a fork before
speaking to me. "That is all for your Transfiguration test Ms. Malfoy, you will
be dismissed after you help me eat this pie." Was all she said to me, as we dug
into the pie and talked to one another about what we did over the summer....
***** Chapter Sixteen. The Second Test (Charms) *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V
~Inside Hogwarts, At Kairi's Charms Class~ 
 
Taking a seat in the front row of desks, I eyed Professor Flitwick before
receiving a warm smile from him and a nod of his head. "You may begin Ms.
Malfoy." He said to me over his desk.
 
Smiling back at him, I opened the test booklet and eyed the first question: I
am a Softening Charm, what charm am I? 
Writing down Spongify, I answered the next twenty questions as best as I could,
hoping I got them all right. 
The next ten questions were multiple choice and I flew by those questions as
well, until I got to the fill in the blank questions, I was stumped by the
first one. 
This charm is called -------- and it sends objects away from the caster, unlike
it's counter part -------, which summons objects to the caster. 
Quickly putting down "Depulso" and "Accio", I went through the next ten
questions without a problem then, I reached the last and final question of the
test. I eyed Professor Flitwick who just smiled at me when we met eyes as I
closed the test booklet and he made it disappear to Headmaster Dumbledore's
office, possibly.
"Your dismissed Ms. Malfoy and good luck on the rest of your tests today." Was
all the Charms professor said to me, dismissing me from his classroom after he
spoke. 
Thanking him, I headed to the History of Magic classroom...

~Outside Professor Hagrid's Hut, A Few Hours Later~ 
 
Placing my nose against Buckbeak's beak, I wiped the tears away from my eyes,
as he to started to shed tears, a rarity among Hippogriff's. "I wish people
understood that your not a dangerous creature, your just misunderstood." I
whispered to him, as I felt the rest of the herd of Hippogriff's circle around
me with their heads bowed. 
 
Turning around, I slowly bowed back to them, making sure to meet each and every
single one of their eyes but, Buckbeak nipped at the back of my school robes,
and pulled me back up to my original standing position then, he let go of the
back of my school robes before shaking his head "no" at me several times and
taking a couple of steps backwards and bowing to me as well. 
I was in awe of the sight, and so was Professor Hagrid, who was silently
standing on his front step outside his hut watching the scene before him in
amazement.
Letting the tears pour down my face, I thanked them all by grabbing a handful
of bugs and feeding them all then, I received a nuzzle on the side of my cheek
from each of them, also another rarity from the Hippogriff's. 
Giving them a weak smile, I bowed before them and started to walk away, but
Buckbeak nipped at the sleeve of my school robes and lowered himself onto the
ground then gestured with his head for me to get on him. 
Turning my head, I looked at Professor Hagrid who motioned me to get on
Buckbeak and ride him. "Five minutes Buckbeak, no more no less! Ms. Malfoy has
other things to do! Now go on you two!" He shouted at the Hippogriff, a smile
on his face afterwards. 
Shaking his head at Hagrid's words Buckbeak let out an angry grumble as I
gently climbed on his back and wrapped my arms around his neck, we took off, a
cloud of dirt begin "accidently" kicked up and flung in Hagrid's direction. I
muffled my laugh in Buckbeak's neck as we slowly flew around Hogwarts. 
"Buckbeak, he's right you know, I do have other things to do today." I scolded
at him, as I got a sad coo from him, as the other Hippogriffs started flying
beside us. 
Pasting the Black Lake, I saw the Merpeople down below, letting out shouts and
cries of happiness when they saw me. Asking Buckbeak to try and get as close as
he could to the lake, he gave me a quick but, firm nod. 
"Kairi, the advocate of all creatures." I heard the leader of the Merpeople
screech out as we flew closer to the Black Lake. 
Raising their fists with a fin to their chests, the Merpeople screeched out.
"Kairi, the advocate of all creatures!" 
Flying past the Merpeople, I raised my fist in return and let out their battle
cry then, Buckbeak flew back towards Hagrid's hut. 
Landing gently, or as gently as he could, Buckbeak lowered himself when we got
back onto solid ground. Sliding off of him, I his neck then, nuzzled my head
into the side of his neck before bowing to the rest of the Hippogriffs, I
walked over to Professor Hagrid, who was beaming at me with a test booklet in
his huge hands. 
I was about to take the test booklet from him, but he stopped me when he threw
it into the air and a Blast-Ended Skwert burned it into pieces and the ashes
were carried away with the wind. 
Turning to Hagrid, I was about to speak to him, but he cut me off with a finger
to his lips. "What the Ministry don't know can't hurt 'em Ms. Malfoy. Besides,
this class is more of a hands on type of class don't ya think?" He said to me
before we started walking away from his hut and headed towards the Forbidden
Forest.... 
Eyeing the Care of Magical Creatures professor with a confused look on my face
I was about to ask him why we were about to go into the forest but he spoke to
me before I could ask him why. "It's the Centaur's Ms. Malfoy, they've been
asking about you since you left for the summer break, I'm not to sure why but,
I haven't been able to go into the forest until they see you. Well if you
exclude the Headmaster, he was the only person able to get some information out
of them. You see, something's bothering them and it's upset them since the
middle of June." He confessed to me as we walked closer and closer towards the
entrance of the Forbidden Forest, letting out a sigh, Hagrid added. "Centaur's
are very private creatures, as you know, they won't harm the younging's unless
insulted but, whatever is going on in the forest has made them very upset and
more then once this summer Ronan and the others have caused many uproars, and
they shot arrows at me hut if I even headed in the direction of their forest.
Albus managed to calm them down some but, their still mad as hell. Centaur's
are not the type of creatures you want to upset, their even worst then me herd
of Hippogriff's when they get upset." Was all he said to me, as we stood a foot
away from the entrance of the forest. 
Turning to me, Professor Hagrid laid a hand on my shoulder and started backing
away before speaking to me. "Be careful in there Ms. Malfoy, don't upset them
or they might harm you, and for your sake, I would want you to get out of there
in one piece and not in limbs." Was his final warning to me, as he let me go of
my shoulder and started backing away as a red-haired Centaur emerged from the
forest, his bow and arrow held high and aimed at Hagrid.
"Thank you for bringing Kairi Rebus but, trust me she'll be in safe hands. Now
leave before I release this arrow straight into your temple, the girl will be
brought back to the castle safely and within the hour. This your only and final
warning Rebus Hagrid, I suggest you leave now." Was all he said to him, his
black eyes filled with nothing but anger and hate. 
When Hagrid was no longer in Ronan's line of vision only then, did the Centaur
put his bow and arrow away before meeting my eyes and giving me a grim smile
and motioning me to come into the forest. "My name is Ronan and I'm the leader
of the Centaur's. I promised Albus Dumbledore that I would keep you as safe as
I can but, I must warn you Ms. Malfoy, your about to be led into a rather large
herd of very angry male Centaur's who have not laid eyes on a woman of any kind
in several years or so, on behalf of the group, I wish to apologize to you in
advance for their behavior and possibly their actions towards you. They
are testosterone filled creatures who haven't been able to breed in a long
time, and I most certainly think that they may or may not be able to control
themselves around you. I will try my best to keep them all in check, those who
can't control themselves will be dealt with severely after I lead you out of
the forest, their punishment should not be seen in the presence of a young
woman, especially one whose been violated by a man who dares to call himself a
pathetic excuse for a father, especially a pure blood one." He said to me as we
started entering the forest, the tone in his voice was filled with bitterness
and rage. "For your own protection, I want you to get out your wand and be
ready to use it just in case but, mark my words Ms. Malfoy. If you cross even
one of us your fate will be sealed the moment you say or do even the slightest
action against us. We may not be the most dangerous of creatures in the forest,
but we surely out number you, and there is also very few of us who have the up
most respect for you and who care about your safety, and not because the
Headmaster asked us to either. You may have won over a small number of us by
helping our kind two years ago but, there is still a large amount of us who are
stuck in hating witches and wizards, no matter the blood status. Although, I'm
very grateful for you saving two of us from begin poisoned two years ago, and
for helping us re kindle our relationship with the Merpeople and the other
creatures that live in this forest, I am afraid that after everything is said
and done here today, you may not may not want to go near the forest for a while
or at least until the Centaurs have cooled off a little. Do you understand Ms.
Malfoy?" He warned me. 
"Yes sir Ronan, I completely understand. Would it be okay if I spent at least a
minute or two with the Thestrals, I heard that were some dead fouls born during
the summer, and I would like to go pay my respects, I believe that the
Thestrals would appreciate that, they may not like people but, they seem to
like me. Besides, I missed them this summer and like the Hippogriffs they seem
to understand me in a way no human will ever understand me. I'm sorry if I've
asked to much, I didn't mean to-," Ronan cut me off with a wave of his hand
before coming to a halt and turning towards me and laying his hand on my
shoulder. "Nonsense Ms. Malfoy, the Thestrals have missed you as well, they to
are very angry and over the summer, we tried on a weekly basis to calm them
down but, they've attacked us so, we had no choice but to retreat deeper into
the forest or risk the chance of hurting them. They may join us for the meeting
today, we are the meeting along with both the Unicorn's, the Bowltruckle and
the Manticore, who rarely leaves his cave but, just for today, he will join
us." 
Staring at Ronan with shock after hearing that the Manticore, a most dreadful
beast who, I happened to have helped during my second and third year here at
Hogwarts. Hearing the news that he might be joining us today for the meeting,
would make most people run in fear at just his size as well as his powerful
roar but, not I. I somehow managed to befriend the dangerous beast two years
ago but, like most creatures who live in the Forbidden Forest, I found out that
all the Manticore wanted was a friend and possibly a playmate. Giving the
leaders of the Centaurs a friendly, warm smile. We just met eyes and walked
even deeper into the Forbidden Forest together with nothing but silence between
us...
Chapter End Notes
     I really like this chapter mostly because it introduced a lot of
     magical creatures that we didn't really get to see/know in the books
     and/or the movies.
***** Chapter Eighteen. The Blood Red Sandman: The Centuar's Meeting *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~Inside the Forbidden Forest, Ten Minutes Later~ 
 
I was in awe at how many creatures were at this "meeting" of sorts. Other then
the majority of the creatures being Centaurs, there were Thestrals, the
Manticore, a small group of Unicorns, a medium size group of Bowtruckle, most
of the Hippogriff's and Aragog, the leader of the Acromantula colony. 
 
Trying to ignore the whispers coming from the male Centaurs as I took a seat
next to the Manticore, who licked me affectionately before laying his down in
between the herd of scared Thestrals and myself, I waited for Ronan to speak
along with the rather bored looking Manticore, who started eyeing the group of
Thestrals hungrily, I gently swatted at his nose as he eyed me then, frowned at
me. "Don't worry, we'll find some deer later okay?" I whispered to him. 
"Okay Kairi." He answered to me then stared at Ronan with the same bored
expression that was on his face earlier. 
 
Shooting an arrow in the group of gossiping Centaurs, who instantly shut up and
looked directly at their leader afterwards. "Ladies, gentlemen and creatures,
you all know while your here, our advocate Kairi Annabelle Malfoy has returned
for the school year. I only have an hour to discuss the topic at hand so, if
you don't wish to be killed shut up!" He shouted out to mostly the Centaurs
before going on. "As most of us know, our homeland is about to be taken away
again and not even the Headmaster can stop this from happening, I'm afraid.
Soon we will have an up rising on our hands. Why? Because He-Who-Must-Not-Be-
Named has returned and he's after our advocate. Does anyone have suggestions on
what we should do?" He asked everyone. 
 
 "We must fight! End of story, there is no such thing as reasoning with those
followers of his!" A Centaur by the name of Bane shouted out to his leader, as
a group of Centaurs cheered for Bane's suggestion. 
 
Aragog glared at the group of Centaurs. "No! Fighting will only lead to blood
shed and the loss of not only my children but, the loss of many magical
creatures such as the Unicorn and the Thestrals, I will not allow anymore blood
to be shed in our home! We've all ready lost a few magical creatures no thanks
to those blood thirsty werewolves this summer!" He roared out to everyone.
 
Letting out a yawn, the Manticore spoke up for the creatures who couldn't voice
their opinion on this matter. "Well now, we can't just sit back and watch out
home be burned down around us, now can we? The Thestrals, Unicorns, and the
Bowtruckle all have reached upon an agreement that they should all fight, I
also agree with them as well, I won't hide in my cave any longer, after what
happened this summer, I say we give those followers of his a taste of revenge."
He said to Ronan.
 
Letting out a hiss, Aragog raised himself up from his web and glared at the
groups of creatures who wished to fight. "I said no fighting! Let his followers
come for us, let them take us then, I will spray them all with my web and
they'll never bother us again!" Aragog said coldly to Ronan.
 
Soon bickering broke out between the Centaur's and Aragog about how the
spider's plan had so many flaws in it but, the argument only lasted a few
minutes before Ronan raised his bow and fired a warning shot in between the
angry and violent Centaur's and the peaceful spider. Turning their heads
towards Ronan, they shut up at once.
 
"Enough! Both groups will have to agree and disagree on this matter, we won't
have much time left if you two start another argument again! Let our advocate
make the choice that will decide rather we fight or not." He said to them, his
eyes on me after he spoke.
Feeling everyone's eyes on me, I gulped and spoke to only Ronan. "I know for a
fact that Hogwarts will fight back, so it's six to one and the verdict has been
reached. I'm sorry Aragog but, you've been out voted. If you wish to join the
fight then that's okay, but if you don't want to join the fight then that's
okay to." I said to him. 
Aragog let out a scoff then, left the meeting along with the rest of the
creatures, expect for the Centaurs and the Manticore.
Turning to the Manticore, I rubbed my hand along his fur then, I heard him
purr. "Silly kitty, I think the Centaur's want to talk to me alone. You should
run along now, I'll come and visit you in a few days and then we'll go find
some deer together, okay?" I said to him, as I watched him stand up and he gave
me one last lick on the cheek before running off into the deeper part of the
forest.
Ronan moved from his original spot and took his place beside me, his eyes
meeting mine. "Ms. Malfoy, over the summer we've received some very upsetting
news about you, on behalf of all the Centaur's we are very deeply sorry about
what happened to you but, we've received some even more upsetting news. It
seems that there is a certain werewolf after you, Bane and a few of the other
Centaur's have spotted Fenrir Greyback and a small pack of wolves running
through the Forbidden Forest this summer killing any creature who refused to
tell him about you. He's killed many innocent creatures over the summer, and he
nearly killed Bane because he wouldn't give Greyback any information." He said
to me, taking a breath, he pressed on. "Magorian reported to me last night that
Greyback is still looking for you. Ms. Malfoy it would be in your best interest
to not return here after today. If you were harmed by that uncontrollable
creature we would be so angry that not even Headmaster Dumbledore could stop us
from hunting Greyback down and killing him." He said to me.
Bane moved forward and spoke. "Ms. Malfoy we'll send Buckbeak a message when
it's safe to come back here, for now were asking you not to come here again.
There are dark times a head of us all, and soon war will be upon us all. You
must prepare yourself for battle and keep the light within you innocent and
pure for as long as you can. Because once He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returns,
he'll tear the light from within you away and everyone close to you as well."
Bane said to me, giving me a grim frown afterwards.
Eyeing Bane I stood up and brushed off the dirt that was on my school robes
then, I was about to speak when a young Centaur by the name of Firenze appeared
out of the shadows of the trees. "Aragog has been killed and Fenrir Greyback
and his small group of werewolves are coming, they'll be here in twenty
minutes. It's time for the girl to leave and for us to prepare for battle." Was
all he said before whispers started spreading from one Centaur to another.
Silencing the Centaur's with a wave of his hand, Ronan spoke. "Bane, start
setting up a defense, Firenze you take a few of the Centaur's and create a
diversion while I lead Ms. Malfoy out of here, now go!" He ordered to them
then, turning to me, he grabbed me by the waist and threw me on his back and we
started heading in the direction of the school. "Tell the Headmaster that it is
no longer safe for anyone to enter the forest now." He said to me, as he
galloped as fast as he could, going faster when he heard howls in the
distance. 
Nodding my head, I clung onto Ronan's waist as tightly as I could. "I will.
Thank you Ronan. I'll talk to the Merpeople as well but, I think the Headmaster
might've all ready done that for me." I said to him, as he stopped right
outside the entrance of the Forbidden Forest and I slid off of his back and
quickly hurried out of the forest, as a the howls from earlier grew closer and
closer, and I heard a growl from behind me. Running past Hagrid's hut, I headed
straight for the castle, and towards the Headmaster's office...

~An Hour Later, Inside Professor Kakaroff's Classroom~
 
 
 Still a little shaken up by what happened in the forest, I entered Professor
Kakaroff's classroom and the first thing I noticed was that it was covered in
darkness, the only light source that was coming from the classroom was the
light from the hallway well, until the classroom door closed behind me and I
was now in total darkness.
 
 
Hearing footsteps coming from everywhere, I pulled out my wand with a shaky
hand and muttered "Everate Statum" and pointed my wand to the nearest desk and
sent something flying backwards across the classroom into the wall.
 
 
Feeling a wand begin pressed into my back, I tensed up. "This is your test Ms.
Malfoy, fail this test and I'll make sure you start D.A.D.A all over again from
your first year." Professor Karkaroff whispered into my ear as he took a breath
then, added in my ear. "I want you to disarm me, and while your doing that,
I'll be trying everything in my power to stop you from disarming me. If you
somehow manage to disarm me, you pass but, if I disarm you then, you fail and
if you fail, there isn't a do over Ms. Malfoy. Your test begins now." Was all
Professor Kakaroff said to me, as he lowered his wand and backed away from me
quietly, so quietly that I couldn't even hear his footsteps.
 
 
Turning around with my wand raised, I muttered "Everate Statum" over and over
again, hoping that I at least could hit Professor Karkaroff at least once but,
all I managed to do was fling desks everywhere. All the while, I was trying to
dodge all of Professor Kakaroff's spells that were begin thrown at me from
every direction.
 
 
How could I possibly disarm someone that I can't even see? Let alone, even hear
their footsteps but, they could see and hear everything that I do?
 
 
Closing my eyes, I went through the mental images of the classroom in my head I
opened my eyes and spun around and aiming at the Professor's desk, I shouted
out "Expelliarmus!" And I heard Professor Kakaroff's wand clatter on the
classroom floor.
 
 
Suddenly the lights came on and I saw him use the back of hand to wipe off the
blood that was coming out of his mouth before he bent down and picked up his
wand. Eyeing me with a smile on his face, he spoke to me. "Very good Ms.
Malfoy, I have to admit that you nearly threw me backwards when you casted
Expelliarmus on me but, other then that you did very good, I'll give you an O
for this." He said to me as he walked closer to me and pocketed his wand before
laying a hand on my shoulder and adding to me. "Now may I ask you something
before I send you off to Professor Snape's class for your final test?" He asked
me, removing a leaf from my blonde hair, he tossed it on the classroom floor.
 
 
Staring into the professor's eyes, I nodded my head. "Yes professor?" I
answered him.
 
 
Professor Karkaroff gave me another smile before speaking to me. "How would you
like to join the Dueling Club that Professor Snape and I are setting up? And
how would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" He asked me.
 
 
Returning his smile, I acpected his offer to join the Dueling Club but, I
wasn't so sure about his offer to go to Hogsmeade after what happened a couple
of hours ago in the Forbidden Forest. "Professor, a couple of hours ago, I was
in the Forbidden Forest and Greyback and a pack of his wolves were coming for
me, and I was told by both the Centaur's and Headmaster Dumbledore not to go
back to the Forbidden Forest until Greyback is gone. Now your asking me to go
to Hogsmeade with you? Excuse me if I sound a little blunt about this professor
but, are you crazy!?! I'm sure there's a few Death Eaters waiting on me to show
up there and take me to their Dark Lord. I'm sorry professor but, I can't go,
not with this future war that's about to happen." I said to him.
 
 
Taking in my words, Professor Karkaroff let go of my shoulder and took a seat
on the only stool in the classroom that was still standing then, he let out a
sigh. "Ms. Malfoy, I've all ready had a discussion with both the Headmaster and
your guardian. Headmaster Dumbledore agreed to the idea but, Professor Snape
needed some convincing to allow me to take you to Hogsmeade but, in the end
they both agreed to let me take you to Hogsmeade. Besides, the village is begin
heavily guarded by Auror's right now, and there's a very slim chance that any
Death Eater could possibly slip into the village, not without alerting at least
one Auror." He said to me.
 
 
Eyeing him, I let out a sigh. "Okay, I'll go. Now may I go take my final test?
Professor Snape hates having to wait on people, you know?" I asked him.
 
 
Giving me a nod, he dismissed me from his classroom. "Meet me at the entrance
doors at eleven A.M sharp, I'm like Severus, I hate having to wait on people."
Was all he said to me.
 
 
"Yes professor, I'll see you tonight at the start of the term feast tonight."
Was all I said to him, before rushing out of his classroom and heading to my
final test for the day, Potions...
***** Chapter Twenty. The Potion's Test *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
~In Professor Snape's Classroom~ 
 
I had just walked into Professor Snape's classroom and as soon as the classroom
door closed behind me, Professor Snape started ordering me around, before I
even had a chance to say "good afternoon professor".  
"Make me a Draught of Living Death, a Forgetfulness Potion, a Swelling
Solution, a Confusing Concoction, a Shrinking Solution, a Poison Antidote, a
Griding Potion, a Draught of Peace, a Strengthing Solution, an Invigoration
Draught, a Polyjuice Potion, an Amortenia Potion, an Elixir to Induce Euphoria,
and Felix Felicius." He ordered me the moment I walked into his classroom,
adding, "and list the twelve uses of Dragon's blood and a Wiggenweld Potion as
well." Was all he said to me, the tone in his voice the entire time was cold
and filled with bitterness, not even looking up at me the entire time he spoke
to me, instead he had his nose was buried in a piece of parchment paper. 
 
Picking my mouth up off of the floor, I closed it and walked straight up to the
professor's desk. "Professor Snape, I can't possibly make all of those potions
in two hours, a Polyjuice Potion takes a month to fully complete, I can't make
that in two hours-," Professor Snape slammed his piece of parchment paper down
on his desk and met my eyes, which were filled with anger, he spoke to me. "Ms.
Malfoy, you will make all of those potions in two hours, your a smart girl,
figure a way out to speed up the process of the Polyjuice Potion. I'm also
giving you full access to my private storeroom, your lucky that I'm not making
you walk all the way to the other side of the school to use the students
storeroom, and I'm not forcing you to make a Vertiaserum as well Ms. Malfoy, it
would take the same amount of time to make a Polyjuice Potion but, seeing as
you only have two hours, you better start making all of the potions that I've
ordered you to do. Now go, you've all ready wasted two valuable minutes by
opening your mouth and wasting your breath by protesting to me." He said to me,
the tone in his voice was harsh and cold. 
Letting out a sigh, I took off into a run and headed into the professor's
private storeroom and started grabbing ingredients but, I was stopped when I
heard two voices, one belonging to the Headmaster and the other belonging to
the professor. 
"Honestly Severus, you can't expect even your mostgifted student to make
fifteen potions and deliver a piece of parchment on the twelve uses on dragon's
blood in two hours. Be reasonable Severus." I heard Headmaster Dumbledore say
to Professor Snape.
Hearing the professor slam something down on his desk, he let out an aggravated
sigh. "Your right Headmaster, I guess I'm expecting more from her then usual
but, I know she can do all of those potions, I've seen her do them." He
confessed to him, and then added to him, "I'll lower the number to five potions
but, she still does the parchment paper over the twelve uses of dragon's blood,
would that satisfy you and the Ministry happy?" He added to him, bitterness
residing in his voice as he spoke to him. 
Letting out a sigh, I heard the Headmaster head towards the classroom door, but
stopped when he reached the door. "Yes Severus, it does satisfy me but, I
forgot to mention that the Ministry has no part in this so, those test booklets
you were given are going to be burned, they serve no real purpose expect for
seeing what year she's going to be placed in and what career she might want to
go into. Have a good day Severus." Was all he said to Professor Snape as he
opened the classroom door and closed it behind him a moment later. 
Hearing Professor Snape's footsteps echo off the stone floor, I heard them head
towards the storeroom, I quickly started grabbing even more potion ingredients
until I had more then an armful, I was about to leave when Professor Snape
stopped me. 
"Put those away Ms. Malfoy. If you drop even one of those ingredients, I'll be
forced to give you detention tonight." He sighed out, as he crossed his arms
over his chest and waited on me to get rid of all the vials I had on me then,
he spoke again. "I want you to make an Elixir to Induce Euphoria, Felix
Felicius, Wiggenweld potion, a Draught of Living Death and the Draught of
Peace. I also still want that parchment over the twelve uses of dragon's blood.
None of this is negotiable so, I suggest you do as I say. There is a copy of a
potions book in the back of the classroom still. Good luck Ms. Malfoy." Was all
he said to me before storming off into his classroom again a moment later.
Letting out a sigh, I gathered up all the ingredients for the five potions and
headed towards the only desk that had a boiling caldron on it. Putting the
ingredients down on the desk, I walked towards the back of the classroom and
grabbed the copy of the potions book then, headed back to the desk and turned
to the page that read "Elixir's" and turning to page 363, I skimmed over the
directions on the Elixir to Induce Euphoria. 
Pulling out a vial of Shrivel fig, I dumped into the caldron then, added
Porcupine Quill's and stirred it four times anticlockwise and paused for a few
minutes before adding a sprig of peppermint to counter act the side effects of
the potion then, waiting a minute or two, I added Sopophorous Beans and some
Wormwood and finally I stirred the ingredients six times anticlockwise and
waited a few minutes before pulling out an empty vial and carefully pouring as
much of the elixir as I could in there before putting it on the test tube
holder and emptied the cauldron and cleaned it out quickly before moving onto
Felix Felicius...
 
~Two Hours Later~ 
 
Writing down the last use of dragon's blood, I carefully grabbed the test tube
rack and the piece of parchment paper, I carefully walked towards Professor
Snape's desk then, very carefully I set the test tube rack and the parchment
paper down on the table, I was about to leave but, Professor Snape grabbed my
arm. "There's a rather large sack of money in your room Ms. Malfoy, your
mother's owl delivered it while you were out earlier today. I'm sure Igor told
you about your plans for this weekend?" He asked me, the tone in his voice was
bitter and cold. 
 
Nodding my head, I turned my head and eyed the potions professor. "Yes
Professor, I'm aware of Professor Kakaroff's plans for this weekend, is there
anything else I should know professor?" I asked him. 
Meeting my eyes, Professor Snape frowned at me. "I will be joining you and Igor
on Saturday night, just in case something goes wrong. Enjoy the rest of your
day Ms. Malfoy, I will see you at dinner tonight, your dismissed." Was all he
said to me, as he released my wrist from his iron grip, and breaking contact
with my eyes and turning his attention to the parchment of paper with the
twelve uses of dragon's blood on it. 
"Good day professor." I whispered to him before leaving his classroom and
heading towards my room...

~At Hogwarts, Six Days Later, Outside the Great Hall~ 
 
Grabbing Professor Kakaroff's arm as we walked towards the Hogwarts entrance
doors, pushing them open, we walked towards Hagrid's hut then we Disaparted
from the grounds and towards Hogsmeade together. 
 
Upon entering Hogsmeade both Professor Karkaroff and I were stopped from going
any further into the wizarding village by a pair of Auror's by the names of
Savage and Proudfoot, who were both carefully studying us both. 
"Name's and state your business." Savage said to us both, his wand out and
ready to kill us if he had to. 
Letting out a sigh, Igor rolled his eyes and pulled out his wand as well. "Igor
Karkaroff, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I work at Hogwarts of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm here with Kairi A. Malfoy, a student at Hogwarts,
on business from Headmaster Albus Dumbledore." He said to the two Auror's, the
tone in his voice was cold, stern and business like to both of the Auror's. 
"May I examine both of your wands, these are dark times after all, we can never
be to careful." The Auror named Proudfoot said to Karkaroff as he held out his
hand for us to place our wands in. 
I was about to pull my wand out and hand it over to Proudfoot but, a man with
dark grey hair and blue eyes stood before us, barking orders at the both of
them, and he was pissed. 
Grabbing both the Auror's by the collars on the back of their shirts, the man
picked up and dangled them a couple feet off the ground before yelling at them
both. "You two numbskulls! Did I not tell you both to report to me when Igor
Karkaroff and Ms. Malfoy entered Hogsmeade! Or did that slip your tiny brains!"
He shouted to both of them before dropping them to the ground and wiping his
hands on the side of his coat. "Honestly, a damn monkey could do a better job
then you two can, at least with the monkey I wouldn't have to worry about him
forgetting his orders! Now get out of my sight and go patrol the north and
south side of the village, I all have Walsh stand guard here, because you two
can't obviously handle this." Was all he said to the two Auror's before turning
his attention towards us, his magical eye casted on me before he spoke to us.
"The name is Alastor Moody, and I've been asked by Dumbledore to escort you
both to the Three Broomsticks Inn." He gruffly to us before leading us to the
inn. 
 
~Inside the Three Broomsticks Inn~ 
 
Taking a seat in the back of the inn, Alastor casted a Silencing Charm on the
room before turning to the large group staring back at him. "All right let's
quickly get down to business. Tonks, Karkaroff, Severus, Fred, George, Draco,
Sirius and one more member will be protecting Kairi during tomorrow night's
little "activity". Does everyone know what to do in case of a future attack
from the Dark Lord or his followers?" He asked everyone.
 
"Protect Kairi, no matter the cost." The seven members of the Order said all at
once.
Rolling his eyes, Alastor banged his cane on the ground. "Good. Those of you
who have a Polyjuice Potion have all the necessary ingredients or can do a
Transfiguration, well you know what to do. Fred and George, you two have the
Portkey correct?" He asked them.
The red haired twins were grinning from ear-to-ear before they spoke to the
Auror. "Aye Mad-Eye we have the portkey." They both said at the same time. 
Firmly nodding his head at the twins, he grumbled something nasty under his
breath about the twins before repeating his earlier question. "Does everyone
know what to do in case of a future attack from the Dark Lord or his followers?
Who will more then likely be waiting in the shadows for the perfect moment to
make their move on any of you and possibly Kairi?" He asked everyone again, his
voice filled with anger from having to repeat the question again. 
Rolling her eyes, Tonks let out a scoff. "Yes Alastor we know what the bloody
hell were going to do in case of a future attack. Do we look like a bunch of
monkeys to you?" She asked him bitterly, her hair changing from her usual light
brown to a dark red after she spoke to him. 
Shooting her a dirty look, he was about to say something nasty to her, but he
bit his tongue and dispelled the Silencing Charm around the room before meeting
Tonks's eyes. "Two hours Nymphadora, that's all I can give you to reunite with
your family members. Go to the north side and relive that bloody idiot
Proudfoot of his duties." Was all he said to her before almost leaving the
inn. 
Standing up from her chair and slamming a fist into the wooden table, her hair
turned a darker shade of red before she spoke to the arse of an Auror. "Don't.
Call. Me. Nymphadora Mad-Eye, you know better then anyone, that I hate that
name." She yelled out to him.
Shrugging it off, Mad-Eye headed towards the inn's door once again, but this
time he was stopped by Fred and George this time. "You aren't staying Mad-Eye?
The party's just starting!" The twins shouted out to him, as they ordered a
round of Firewhisky for the adults and a Butter beer for me. 
Turning and meeting the twin's eyes, a scowl ran across his forehead. "No, I
bloody will not." He growled out to them then added, "unlike you lot, I have
more important things to do." Were his final words to anyone, as Alastor "Mad-
Eye" Moody left the inn without another word to anyone.
Professor Snape was the next person to leave from the inn in a quick hurry, it
seemed he to was a bit ticked off about something. Giving me a light squeeze on
the shoulder, he muttered he would be right back before running after the
Potions Master.
Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head saw my cousins and my older
brother giving me both warm smiles. I in return gave all three of them smiles
back. 
"I'm your bastard cousin Dora Tonks, and this is your other bastard cousin,
Sirius Black, do you mind if we talk to you for a while? You know, get to know
each other a little bit better?" She asked me, as he once dark red hair changed
back to her usual light brown hair. 
I wonder what spell she uses to do that? I have to find out, when her hair
changes colors, it looks so wicked!I thought to myself, as I gave them both a
nod and they both took seats next to me, while Draco took the empty seat next
to me, as their Firewhisky and my Butter beer were placed at our table. Soon,
the four of us were in deep conversation with each other and getting to know
one another...

***** Chapter Twenty Two. Severus and Karkaroff's Talk (One of Us) *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Igor's P.O.V.
When the inn door closed itself, I reached out and grabbed Severus's arm but,
before I could blink my eyes, he grabbed my arm and had me pinned against the
inn's door and my blue eyes with his cold, hate-filled black ones and then
whispered out "Muffliato" and "Salvio Hexia" before I could speak. "Severus,
why do you despise me so much? Is it because of Annabelle and my relationship?"
I asked him after he casted both spells around us. 
 
A scowl appeared on the Potions Master's face before he spoke to me. "I don't
despise you Karkaroff, I hate you, not because of your so-called "relationship"
with Ms. Malfoy but because unlike you, I am having most of my evenings with
the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters, while your all nice and cozy in the castle,
and I hate you because of it. As for your "relationship" with the girl, I don't
like it but, I swear Karkaroff if you lay even one finger on my student, I will
kill you, if you sell the girl out to the Dark Lord, you can forget about your
nice and cozy job because, I won't care about Albus's orders and I won't care
if students are around, no one will able to save you when I come and hunt you
down Karkaroff, not even the Headmaster will able to stop you because I will
kill you if I ever find out that you sold her out, the moment you do, you
would've sealed your fate. Besides, when it all comes down to it, your just
living on borrowed time and had it not been for the Headmaster's act of
kindness, you would've been a dead man Karkaroff, nothing more nothing less."
He snarled out to me. 
Folding in my eyebrows, the shock started to register in my system, I quickly
regained my composure and eyed him. "I can't believe it, you to care for the
girl? Why Severus, she's your student!" I asked him, as my brain tired it's
hardest to itself around the idea of the Potions Master and the Head of House
caring for a student as deeply as I do.
"It's none of your damn business Igor! You haven't seen her past, you haven't
healed her wounds from a bastard of a man that doesn't deserve the title of
father and mostly importantly, you haven't watched her grow up over the years
in the blink of an eye. The Ministry may consider her as a child, but Kairi
lost that chance the moment when Lucius first laid his hands on her. My student
is not a child anymore, she is a grown woman who grew up to fast." I shouted at
him, adding, "your just a bandage to cover the wound, nothing more, nothing
less. Yes, Kairi cares for you but, do you know what is going to happen when
you die Igor? She's going to have that bandage ripped open and the wound is
going to bleed out until she can find another bandage to stop the wound, only
this time the bandage is going to stay on and never come off. I will be that
bandage that won't come off. Yes, she may use me until all the blood running
through me has been sucked dried from my body, and I would still with my last
breath, care for her. Not because I deeply care for her but, because she is
more important to me then anyone else in this world, including the Headmaster.
To be honest and blunt Karkaroff, I don't give a damn what happens to you but,
I do give a damn what happens to my student. Had Dumbledore told me not to kill
you and that girl that's sitting in the inn with her family didn't care so much
about you, I would kill you right her and right now and not even shed a single
tear on you. Why? Because I can't stand you, your a coward living on borrowed
time, who seems perfectly happy living a lie. Why don't you just take off that
perfect mask of yours and show everyone in that inn what a coward really look
like and tell them the truth, do you really think you'll really be welcomed
with open arms then?" He asked him, bitterly and angry towards me.
Taking his words in, I frowned at him. "I may be a coward whose living on
borrowed time, but at least what I have for Kairi is real, our relationship
maybe going slow right now but, I'm giving her time to open up to me, which is
more then you can ever give her Severus Snape, I-," I was cut off by Severus
taking both of his hands and grabbing me by the collar of my shirt and bringing
my face inches away from his. "Don't you ever compare me to you Karkaroff, I am
nothing like you. We may both be dead men wearing the Dark Mark on our forearms
and living on borrowed time but, we both know whose going to die first by the
Death Eaters or better yet, by his hands. Unlike you, my loyalty to the Dark
Lord has never faded but, your has. Your fate was sealed when you lost your job
at Drumstang and when you went into hiding and turned your back on everyone.
Your a coward living on borrowed time but, trust me Igor. In a few months time,
you'll be the first former Death Eater to die, and I'll have no pity on you nor
will anyone else because, they'll be laughing at you as you die. We may be
forced to put up with each other for now but, when the time comes, you'll be a
sheep for slaughter, not me." Letting go of me with a rough shove against the
inn's doors, he spoke his final words to me. "Enjoy living with the mask on
Karkaroff because trust me eventually everything your working so hard for will
soon become your downfall. I'll see you tomorrow evening." Was all he said to
me before dispelling the spells around us and disaparting back to Hogwarts.
Shaking off Snape's words to me, I walked back in the inn and putting on a
forced smile, all I thought was how much an asshole Snape was, as I walked
towards Kairi and her family members, summoning a chair, I sat next to her and
listening to her chat to her family...
***** Chapter Twenty Three. *****
~The Next Day, At the Three Broomsticks Inn~
 
Sitting next to Igor and my older brother, I sipped on some freshly brewed tea
while listening to my cousin Tonks, and Fred and George argue over whose going
to be in the Quidditch World Cup next year.
 
"Five galleons says the Holyhead Harpies will play the Chudley Cannons next
year. Supposedly the Harpies have upped their game this year." Fred said to us
with a smile on his face after he spoke.
Rolling her eyes and letting out a scoff, Tonks leaned back against her chair
with her boots on the table. "Bullocks boys totally utter bullocks have you lot
been reading the Quibbler lately? It's saying that the Haileybury Hammers and
the Montrose Magpies could possibly be playing this year now, wouldn't that be
a sight to see? A United States team versus a Scotland team?" She sighed out
dramatically while tipping her chair even further back with her ankle, before
removing her boots from the edge of table and her chair fell forward with a
large "thud" then, with a glass of Firewhisky in her hand, and a glimmer of
twisted evil in her eyes, she leaned forward and eyed everyone at the table and
told us of her plan to piss off her mentor Mad-Eye Moody.
 
~Several Hours Later, Outside the Three Broomsticks~
 
Hiding behind a snow fort, I watched as the twins prepared several snowballs as
Mad-Eye apprated a few feet away from us.
 
"Ready George?" Fred whispered to him, a huge grin on his face as he spoke to
his brother.
Sharing the same grin, Fred pasted him two snowballs and spoke to him. "Aye
Fred, I'm ready." He whispered back to him then they both unleashed four
snowballs at the unsuspecting Auror.
Even though Alastor Moody was about to get hit with four snowballs, he managed
to stop them all and then turned around and shot a dirty look at the twins.
"You two." He growled out to them as he stormed toward us, stopping in front of
the snow fort, he looked at us with a scowl on his face. "I oughta-," Mad-Eye
was cut off when a huge pile of snow fell down on top of him.
Coming out of the snow pile, an enraged Alastor Moody begun to search for the
person who dumped the snow on him, casting his eyes on his former student
Nymphadora Tonks, his face started to turn a dark shade of red. "You little
nymph! I knew you had something to do with this!" He shouted out to her with a
fist raised as he shook at her.
We all started laughing at Mad-Eye's comment, as tears fell down from our
cheeks because we were laughing so hard. "Oh Alastor, your such a buzzard! You
can't even take a joke properly." Tonks said to her former mentor in between
laughs, falling off one of the Hogsmeade shop's roof, causing Moody to let out
a laugh. 
"Now that my dear former student is how you take a joke properly." He said to
her in between his laughs, turning his head and looking at us, the cheerfulness
that was once on his face was gone and he became serious once more. "Now that
our little fun and games is over, back to business! All of you go back into the
inn and get ready, we only have ten minutes before we leave." He added to us,
before laying his eyes on my. "Ms. Malfoy go with Tonks, I believe she has
something for you." Was all he said me, before brushing over the leftover snow
his shoulders and heading into the inn where it was warm.
Once we all brushed the snow off of us, we all walked back towards the inn
together with smiles on our faces and our arms wrapped each other's waist. I
mean, it's not like you get a chance to see a band that is a hit in both the
Muggle world and the Wizarding world, everyday now is it? 
 
~Ten Minutes Later~
 
Standing next to Igor, as he wrapped his arm around mine, we stared at Mad-Eye,
who eyed us both one more time. " I'm only going to say this once, now listen
up!" He said sternly to the Order members. "If even one of you slips up during
the concert, I'll make sure none of you ever is allowed to do this again." He
warned to the Order members before going on with his lecture. "With the
expectation of Ms. Malfoy, I expect all of you to act like bloody adults, not
bloody animals! No offense Black. Every single one of you knows what is
at stake if we show ourselves to muggles, which is why most of you have been
either given a Polyjuice Potion or know a Transfiguration spell to change
yourselves, which all of you, with the expectation of Tonks, should've taken
ten minutes ago. Ms. Malfoy's safety is our up most priority tonight. Should
the Death Eaters attack during or towards the end of the concert, which they
more then likely will, both Professor Snape and Karkaroff will waste no time in
getting Ms. Malfoy out of danger before they notice that she's there. All of
you, expect Ms. Malfoy know where to go. Sirius's, the Wealsey's, Tonks parents
and the Longbottom's homes were by hand picked by Albus Dumbledore, Minster
Shacklebolt and myself, these are our safe house's and even though, we have
plenty more, we didn't want to risk any children that weren't enrolled in
Hogwarts to be caught in the crossfire that might possibly happen tonight
between the Death Eaters and the Order. If something happens, we will meet back
here between 12:30 and 1:00am, no expectations! Is that understood?" He asked
to the Order members, growling out the last few words.
 
Giving the legendary Auror firm nods, the members eyed each other before
returning their eyes back to Moody. A scowl appeared on the Auror's face before
he shouted out to them. "Well, what are you all bloody standing here for? Get
going!" 
"With pleasure." The twins, Draco and Tonks muttered out under their breaths
before they Disapprited, Tonks giving me a wink before she left.
Turning his magical eye to me, Alastor gave me a quick, warm smile, as Sirius,
Snape, and Neville disparted as well. "Have fun Ms. Malfoy because, after
tonight it may be the last little bit fun you have for a while, well at least
until this damn war is over." He said to me, then turned his magical eye at
Igor. "Protect her no matter the costs, make sure the portkey takes her to her
destination even if you are in a duel with a follower, her life is more
important then any of ours. Now go, I and a few other members will be at the
safe houses by midnight, just in case we have followers who manage to latch
onto one of us. Good luck and goodbye for now." Was all he said to us before
heading back into the inn. 
Turning his head towards me, Igor took his hand in mine before speaking to me
and giving me a smile afterwards. "Are you ready Kairi, or should I say
Mallory?" He asked me, jokingly. 
Laughing at my fake name, I leaned closer towards him before pressing my head
into his musty smelling brown jacket. "Yes Igor- I mean Ivan, I am ready." I
said to him before standing up on my tip toes and leaning into his lips, I gave
him a kiss. "Let's go Ivan, were going to be late if we stand here any longer."
I joked to him. 
Nodding his head, Igor quickly switched his arm from holding onto my arm to
gently holding onto my waist then, we apprated together...
 
~A Few Miles Away from the Concert Grounds~
 
With a smirk on his lips, Voldemort looked down at the city before him.
"Muggles and their precious cities, they really think their safe in their homes
with their useless locks on their doors? No, I think not." Turning to his inner
circle of loyal Death Eaters, he gave them a twisted grin and stared them down.
"You all know what to do, go have some fun with the city. Expect for you
Lucius, Yaxley, Dolohov, Rodolphus and Fenrir, I want you five to transfigure
yourselves and partake in the concert. Bellatrix will join you later. When the
clock strikes midnight, the muggles and the witches and wizards protecting the
Malfoy girl will be at our mercy. Go enjoy yourselves gentlemen, because at
midnight tonight the sky will be filled with blood pouring from the muggles
veins. Greyback, control yourself until midnight then you may feed." Was all
Voldemort said to the Death Eaters before turning his back on the muggle city
and his followers, a twisted evil smile lining up in his face and his eyes.
Soon Kairi, you'll be mine even if I have to kill anyone and everyone who gets
in my way. He thought to himself...

~At the Concert Grounds~
 
With Draco, Tonks, Fred, George and Igor at my side as the show started, we all
wrapped our arms around each others waist, well expect for Igor, who was
watching us while sipping on a muggle beer and from the look on his face after
he swallowed it, it wasn't a rather enjoyable one.
"Rumor has it that Dan Reynolds is one of us! He's such a good-looking lad,
it's such a shame he's married though." Tonks sighed out to us over the music.
Both the twins eyed her. "I don't think Ramus would like the fact that his wife
is considering cheating on him with a man half his age." Fred shouted at her
over the crowd and the music.
"Yeah Dora, what would you want with half your husbands anyways? And if that
rumor is true, then I guess that rumor about that lovely girl Katy Perry would
be one of us to as well. Honestly Dora those rumors are a bunch of hogwash and
bullocks, have you been reading Witch Weekly again?" George asked her.
Tonks shot a glare at the twins. "Leave Ramus out of this." She said coldly to
them, then added to them. "Besides a girl can fantasize after all, even if she
is married, right Mallory?" She joked to me, nudging me playfully afterwards. 
Giving Tonks a quick smile, I shouted at her. "Right Dora!" Then gave Igor a
quick look before turning my head and facing the stage and listening to the
songs that the band was playing.
Soon the band started playing their new song "Demons" and the muggles started
pulling out their lighters and started waving them around and shouting out the
lyrics to the song. 
Pulling out a cell phone, Tonks clicked a button on it and looked at the time,
and it read 11:49 pm on it. Mumbling under her breath about something, Tonks
put her cell phone away and turned her head and eyed Sirius, who was
transfigured as a drunken hobo then, eyed Severus, who was transfigured as a
rather tall man with long oily black hair with a shorter nose, who gained a
little weight, and then, she eyed Igor, who was transfigured as a man with
long, raven black hair and who was dressed as a middle-aged punk rocker, much
to his displeasure, Tonks mouthed to three transfigured men and mouthed,
"twelve minutes, they should be here at midnight." 
With those words said, all three men stiffened up and put their hands in their
pockets, where their wands were concealed then, Severus leaned into the twins
ears and whispered, "get the portkey ready boys and be prepared to fight."
Before moving away from them and standing next to Sirius, who was drinking down
the last of Igor's muggle beer that he stole from him, while shouting out words
that made no sense to anyone, including us.
The twins nodded their heads before quickly passing the port key to the potions
master then, turned around and wrapped their arms around each other's neck and
shouted out along with the crowd. "It's where my demons hide!" Then the song
ended and the crowd started to head towards the exits but, before they could
reach the exits, the Dark Mark appeared in the sky and the panic set in for the
muggles, and before I could reach for anyone's hand, I was begin pushed
backwards and into the crowd of scared muggles, who were running towards any
exit they could find.
Calling out Tonks', Severus's, Draco's, Fred, George and Igor's names, I soon
to started becoming scared and panicked as I tired looking for anyone who was
with me, but I couldn't see or hear anyone over the crowd of screams coming
from the terrified muggles, that was until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I turned around and came face-to-face with Fenrir
Greyback, who was grinning down at me. 
"Hello again poppet." He growled out to me, his voice laced with lust, as he
added in a lower voice and quickly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer
to him. "Time to finish what we started." Was all he said to me, as his lips
started moving closer to mine, he was thrown backwards.
"I don't bloody think so werewolf! If you know what's good for you, you'll keep
every disgusting part of your disgusting body off my sister!" I heard Draco
shout at to him from behind me, his wand pointing at Fenrir's body. "Besides, I
believe she is otherwise begin fancied by someone at the moment, and I think
she fancies him to." He added to him, a sneer forming on the corners of his
lips.
Standing up and licking the blood off his lips, that came from the spell that
Draco casted on him, he looked at him then grinned at him. "Yeah, and who in
the hell would fancy a whore like her?" He asked him as he was thrown backwards
again.
Turning my head, I saw Igor and Sirius standing a few feet away from us.
"That would be me Greyback, and I would advise you to keep your filthy claws
off my girlfriend or I'll blow them to bits, just like your reproductive body
parts if you ever touch her again." Igor said to him, as he gave me a smile and
I ran into his arms, holding onto him tightly.
"Well, well, well I hoped for a better suitor for my daughter then a coward
like you Karkaroff but, once your dead it won't matter. My daughter will have a
dead suitor for an ex boyfriend, rather then a living, breathing coward like
you Karkaroff." I heard my father say coldly to us, as he appeared beside
Greyback, his wand out and ready to kill if he had to.
Another sneer crossed Igor's lips, as he pointed at my father and spoke to him.
"At least I didn't commit incest with my own flesh and blood Lucius." He
sneered to him, adding. "A coward is a better title to have then an incestuous
bastard such as yourself." 
Pointing his wand at Igor, Lucius was about to mutter a spell but, was thrown
sideways by Sirius and Severus, who was still in his transfigured form. "You
aren't hurt are youLucius?" Sirius asked him, with rage in his voice as he
stepped forward and gestured with his head for Snape to get Igor and I out of
here, and quickly before Lucius got up.
Rushing towards Igor and I, Snape pulled out the port key quickly and we all
grabbed onto it and then we were all sucked into a vortex and then, we were in
a dark living room and suddenly an alarm went off.
"Cave Inimicum." Both Snape and Igor said in unison and the alarm was turned
off.
Hearing footsteps grow closer and closer, someone turned the lights on and all
three of us came face-to-face with a rather skinny man with short brown hair
and blue eyes, whose wand was pointed at us, before he spoke to us. "Where was
I at for nearly fourteen years and who healed me?" He asked us.
Lowering his wand, Severus stepped forward. "St. Mungo's, and it was I Severus
Snape and Minerva McGonagall, and with help from the healers from St. Mungo's,
who helped nurse you and Alice back to health these past fourteen years,
Frank." He answered calmly to him.
Nodding his head and letting out a sigh of relief, the man named Frank pocketed
his wand and called out to a woman named Alice, who I could only presume was
his wife, rushed by his side and gave us a smile. "Mrs. Granger and Mrs.
Lovegood are in the kitchen, let me get a room ready for the three of you, I've
all ready used an Expandable Charm for our guest rooms-," Alice was cut off by
Snape with a wave of his hand.
"Nonsense Alice, none of us are injured besides, Alastor wants us to meet back
at the Three Broomsticks in twenty minutes. Thank you for letting us use your
home Alice and Frank but, we must be going. If you would kindly tell both Mrs.
Granger and Mrs. Love good to meet us there Alastor would appreciate it. Good
night and sorry to bother you two at such a late hour." Was all Snape said to
them, before we all apprated to the Three Broomsticks Inn....

~At the Three Broomsticks Inn, Forty Five Minutes Later~
 
Sitting next to an emotionless Draco, I took his hand in mine and gave it a
comforting squeeze, and a warm smile before speaking to him. "Draco, I'm sorry
for not telling you about what father did to me, but I was afraid if I said
something to you, that you might kill him or do something worst to him." I
quietly confessed to him, not noticing the tears that were falling down his
face until he turned his head and looked at me, dead in the eyes
 
Squeezing my hand back, Draco looked at me. "Annabelle, I understand your
reason for nottelling me but, what if-," Draco cut himself to pause and took a
deep breath before speaking to me again. "What if he killedyou Annabelle? I
can't lose another sister again! Do you know that father killed our sister just
because he lost his temper at mum? You were only a year old when it happened, I
wasn't. Do you realize when mum found out, she fell into a huge depression and
had a nervous breakdown? Annabelle, what if he killed you instead of committing
incest without your consent? I would've killed myself and left my wife, your
nephew and your soon-to-be niece fatherless. Something I promised to myself
years ago, that I would never do, why? Because I maybe my father's son and I
may look like him but, there's one thing that's for sure, I will neverever
become him." He said to me, as he gave my hand another squeeze before pressing
on. "You see little sister, before you were born, hell even before you were
thought of, I slowly saw our father become a monster, and little-by-little, I
saw the man that I once admired being slowly torn away. Our father might've
been a good man a long time ago but, that part of him no longer exists, at
least not the man that I thought I once knew." He confessed to me, as more
tears fell down his face before he finally looked away from me then, letting go
of my hand, he stood up, and started walking away from me, and pushing Fred and
George out of the way and heading out of the inn without saying a word to
anyone.
 
Feeling everyone's eyes on me, I looked at the floor, becoming overwhelmed with
emotions at the moment, my body was starting to the register the shock of my
older brother's confession about the older sister that I completely forgot
about and about our father. While my brain was playing repeated images of the
scene between Draco and I.
 
The inn was filled with silence, that was until Alastor Moody broke the silence
between everyone by banging his staff on the ground and getting everyone's
attention. "Enough of this! Albus is suppose to be here any minute now along
with Kingsley and Rufus. Now could we all just act the leastbit happy?" He
roared out to everyone, as he stood beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder
and leaned into my ear. "Ms. Malfoy Headmaster Dumbledore has requested that
you go upstairs to your room, and try to get some sleep, he doesn't want you to
be a part of this meeting, in case things get a bit heated between everyone, he
wants to spare you from any further trouble tonight. Rosemerta will show you to
your room, and make sure that you get a goodnight's rest, before you leave
tomorrow. Good-night Ms. Malfoy." Was all Alastor said to me before nodding his
head at the owner of the shop, who gave him a warm smile, and took my hand and
pulled me to my feet then, led me up a flight stairs before casting a spell on
the room below her, possibly a Silencing Charm.
 
I was to tired to even argue with the inn keeper when we reached my room, and
she unlocked the door then gently pushed the door open.
 
"There's a house elf who will make sure that anything you need will be taken
care of, he showed up a few minutes before you came in, and said something
about the Headmaster sending him here, and how glad he would be to see his
mistress again." She said to me then, adding, "good-night Ms. Malfoy, my room
is down the hall should you need something after the house elf leaves." Was all
she said to me before she headed down the hallway towards her bedroom.
 
To numb to say anything to the kind inn keeper, I forced myself to walk into
the room, the door shutting behind me, only to receive the surprise of my life
when I saw a very concerned and worried Mouse standing in the middle of the
room, with a beaming smile on his face...
 
~End of Kairi's P.O.V~
 
~Downstairs, at the Three Broomsticks Inn~
 
Everyone's eyes were on Dumbledore's as he started to speak. "As most of you
know Voldemort is back and after a young girl whose had her fair share of scars
that will unfortunately scar her for life." He said to everyone. "Dark times
are coming sooner then we think. These next few months are going to be hard on
all of us, those of you who wish to not partake with us in the fight a head of
us then you may leave, and those of you who wish to fight, well you all ready
know the danger a head of us." He added to everyone, as he waited for anyone to
leave, but no one left. "Good, no has left. We may have dark times a head of us
but, we have the one thing that the enemy doesn't have, and that's love.
Everyone in this room is fighting the war for their own reasons, rather It be
out of love for a family member, or to protect your own family, you all have
joined this fight for your own personal reasons, let those reasons be the one
thing that keeps the light within you during these dark times. Yes, we may lose
loved one in battle, but let the memories of your loved ones stay with you even
after their soul has left this world. I know it's late and many of you want
to go back to your families but, give us an hour then you may all leave or
stay, it's your choice. I'm going to let our minster speak his peace now. Thank
you all for coming and may we meet rather it be tomorrow, next week, next month
or even next year or in the future." Was all he said to everyone, as he sat in
an empty chair across the room.
 
Clearing his throat, Kinglsey stood up and begun to spoke. "For those of you
who work in the ministry, I'm sorry to tell you, only a handful of you will
have jobs in the next few months. It seems the Dark Lord's followers are very
quickly moving up in the ranks inside of the ministry, and I am becoming
powerless to stop them, at least not without putting everyone that is here in
danger. In four months time, a few days after Christmas, the ministry will
fall, and I will be on the run along with other key members from the ministry.
I suspect that the Dark Lord will have one of his followers as the Minister,
and our world as we know it, will no longer be the same. But before that time,
everyone who works in the ministry will act as if nothing is wrong, for the
sake of our mission and our lives. I'm not sure what hisplans are for the girl
but, one person in this room does, and he's been  a double spy for the
Headmaster for years. If you would stand up and explain what the Dark Lord's
plan for the girl is, I'm sure everyone would like to know." Was all the
Minister of Magic said before taking a seat next to Dumbledore.
 
Hearing gasps and a couple of people curse under their breaths, the potions
master stood up, ignoring everything that was going on around him, as he made
his way to the center of the room and met everyone's eyes at least once before
he spoke to the room full of brave witches and wizards. "Yes, I know this may
be a shock to your systems but, it's true. I've been working for the Headmaster
since before the girl was even thought of." He stated to everyone before
pressing on with the topic at hand. "Over the summer, the Dark Lord called
Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix, her husband, and myself for a private meeting. The
Dark Lord is going to take Ms. Malfoy and force her hand in marriage, his
reason for doing this is unclear for right now but, in due time, he will reveal
to every follower in his inner circle the reason behind this, and I will be
there when it happens. I personally watched Lucius Malfoy sign a marriage
contract for his daughter to be wedded to him. Whatever reason is behind this
so-called "marriage" is not a good one. All of us have fought him and his
followers more then once, and we all know that he will use whatever resources
nessacery to obtain Ms. Malfoy even if he has to present himself to us once
more to get to her. There is another Death Eater in his inner circle that will
do anything to stop this marriage from happening, he and I are in league with
one another to ensure that this marriage doesn't happen. So, I've set up some
safety measures in order to protect the girl should Karkaroff or myself be
killed by his hands or by the hands of his followers. Needless to say, I cannot
say what the safety measures are, just in case any of us are killed or tortured
for information in the upcoming months. All I can reveal is this, everyone here
tonight is needed. That's all I have to say." Was all Snape said to everyone
before taking his original seat and everyone started talking again but, were
silenced by Alastor Moody, who banged his cane on the inn's floor.
 
"Shut it all of you! The Headmaster has something to say!" Alastor roared out
to everyone.
    
Silence once again filled the inn, as Dumbledore thanked Moody and spoke one
last time to the over crowded room. "I just want to say thank you for coming,
and to remind everyone that nothing that was said here tonight, leave this room
from anyone's lips. I hope you all have a safe journey home, and good night.
This meeting is officially over and your all dismissed." He said to everyone,
as he gave a nod to both past and present Minster's of Magic, to Alastor and to
everyone in the room before disaparting back to Hogwarts.
 
 One-by-one everyone left expect for, Tonks, Sirius, Draco, Severus, Karkaroff
and Alastor.
 
"Whose taking first watch?" Tonks yawned out, as she stretched out.
 
Standing up, Karkaroff eyed Moody and Severus. "I'll do it." He said to the two
men.
 
Shrugging at Igor's words, Tonks waved a half-ass wave in the air and headed
towards the stairs that led to the inn's rooms. "Okay, good luck then. Nighty
night gentlemen, I'll see you lot in the morning." She said to the five
gentlemen, as she dug in her pocket for the inn key to her room. "Where did I
put the bloody bugger of a key?" She asked out to herself.
 
Nodding their heads in agreement, the four men eyed Karkaroff before heading up
the stairs to their own rooms. "Two hours Igor then, I'll take the next watch."
Alastor yawned out, as he climbed the stairs.
 
"Yes sir. Good night gentlemen." Igor said to them, as he summoned an ashtray
and pulled out his pack of cigarettes, pulling out a cigarette, he placed it on
his lips and lit it with a lighter, and inhaled the chemicals then, spoke after
he exhaled the smoke. "Well you bloody cancer stick, it's just you and I
tonight, I wonder if Romestra left out a bottle of gin and tonic?" He asked
himself, as he leaned back and took another drag off of his cigarette. Glad to
be alone with his thoughts for a couple of hours...

~The Next Morning, Outside Hogsmeade~
 
Giving Draco one last hug, I leaned into his ear and whispered. "Give mum a hug
and kiss for me, and tell her that I'm okay and that I'm safe, okay?" I asked
him, as we broke away from the hug and backed away from each other before I
stared at my cousins and at Tonks's husband Remus Lupin.
 
Sirius pulled me into a tight hug and placed a light kiss on the cheek. "I'm
sorry about what your father did to you, if it makes you feel any better, I was
raised the same way but, trust me when I say this Kairi, with time your scars
will fade and when that happens you'll find peace with what happened, along
with finding freedom. Just remember that what he did to you is not your fault,
it never was. From abuse survivor to another." He whispered into my ear, and
added, "Albus has given me permission to visit you if you ever need me, I'll be
there for you. No matter  the time, place, or day. Blood may make us family but
so do our genes. You may have been born into a family full of pure blood's, but
I can see it in your eyes and in your heart that your different from them, and
if any Slytherin tells you differently tell them Sirius Black knows where they
live, they'll never touch again. I love you and I'll see you soon, write to me
when you can. Good-bye for now Kairi, I love you." Was all he said to me before
letting go of me, turning his back on me, he walked away and turned into a dog
then, he disappeared out of my eye sight on the outskirts of Hogsmeade before I
saw him disappear.
 
Turning to both Tonks and Remus, I gave them a smile and pulled them into a
tight hug and kissed both of their cheeks before Tonks spoke to me. "Once the
war is over, Remus and I would like to invite you over to our home for lunch or
something, or maybe we could go shopping in London, just us two girls. Remus
doesn't like going out in public because of the scar that Greyback gave him
when he was just an infant, he's afraid that he'll attract unwanted attention,
and he's not a big fan of attention." She said to me, as we broke away from the
hug, and she quickly gave me a peck on the cheek before holding onto her
husband's hand.
 
Staring at Lupin, I gave him another smile before he spoke to me. "Don't worry
about what happened yesterday Kairi, just try your best to forget about it. Let
the Order take care of everything, I'll personally make sure to keep a watchful
eye on Fenrir myself, we have a score to settle anyways. The worst thing about
a werewolf isn't his bark or his bite, but keeping the animal inside of us in
check, and Fenrir Greyback will never be able to do that, he's to far gone, his
thirst for blood and power is what has made the animal or should I say
monster that he is today. He maybe the worst werewolf out there, but there are
some good ones out there to, you just need to know where to look." He confessed
to me, as he gave me a wink then, kissed his wife and disparted in front of us.
 
Turning my back on my brother and cousin, I took Igor's hand in mine before we
met each others eyes then, we started walking away from my family until, we
were on the outskirts of Hogsmeade, Igor was about to apprate when I stopped
him with a squeeze of his hand, and he looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, my love?" He asked me, a small smile on his face.
 
Knowing my remaining family members were still watching us when I let go of his
hand and took Igor's cheeks in mine and gave both my brother and my cousin a
show. I stood on my tip toes and Igor and I shared our first snogging session
with one another.
 
Pulling me closer to his chest and wrapping my arms around his neck, he kissed
me harder, letting out a groan, we broke away with smiles on our faces, we
turned our heads at a shocked Draco and an overjoyed Tonks, who was shouting at
us for an encore, but much to her disdain, we didn't give her one.
 
"Karkaroff! I'm going to rip your bloody head off if you hurt my sister you
bastard!" Draco shouted at him, laughing afterwards, even if Draco wouldn't
outright say it to our faces, he was happy for us.
 
Eyeing each other, we waved good-bye to both of them before we took each others
arms and apprated back to Hogwarts together, with smiles on our faces, as we
walked the grounds together before we separated from each other, once we were
in eye sight of other Hogwarts students...
 
   
 
 
 
***** Chapter Twenty Seven. Prologue/Rasputin *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
 
As the trees started to lose their leaves and the leaves started to change
colors, and the days grew shorter and the nights started coming earlier and
earlier. Fall turned to winter and it started growing colder then, the snow
came and decided to stay.
 
Everyone started staying inside the castle more and most of our classes that
once were outdoors soon started becoming indoor classes, with the expectation
of Magical Care of/for Creatures, every once or twice a month Professor Hagrid
would take us outside and we would take care of the Hippogriff's in the
stables, well the students that actually cared about these beautiful creatures,
which was very little of the class. I also would meet with the Thestrals
outside the Forbidden Forest whenever it wasn't to bad outside or if Professor
Hagrid told me it was okay. They were a bit sad when I left them, but I always
promised them that I would bring them a rabbit or two to eat for them to eat.
It's safe to say, that none of the herd of Thestrals would harm me in fact,
most of them especially the fouls would rather play then attack me. I wish
people, mostly the Ministry, could see that the Thestrals aren't dangerous
creatures, but very gentle, kind, and loving animals, that wouldn't dare to
harm anyone, unless provoked by someone, and it's the same for the Hippogriff's
as well. My relationship with almost all of the creatures that lived in
the Forbidden Forest grew more and more with each passing day.
 
  Not only did my relationship with the creatures grow, but so did my
relationship with Professor Karkaroff grow as well, when I wasn't busy with
taking care of most of the creatures that lived in the Forbidden Forest, I was
also learning a lot of Dark Arts from him, and I'm sure the Headmaster and
Professor Snape wouldn't be very happy about that if they ever found out, but
they knew with the dark times that were creeping closer and closer with each
passing day, it was only a matter of time that the Dark Lord would launch an
attack on the school, and unlike the Dueling Class I would need to learn more
if I ran into trouble when/he/ launched his next attack. Also our relationship
grew as well, and even though, we hadn't said that we loved each other, or even
made love, we started learning different things about each other. For example,
I learned that Igor and I shared a passion for learning about the stars, and
that we both love nature.
 
Sometimes after curfew, we would take a smoke break and then sneak off school
grounds, and walk towards the Black Lake to look at the flowers that would grow
there. I also found out that Igor had a passion for muggle motorcycles, and
promised me that we would one day, when the war was over, we would go around
the U.K and he would take me to the muggle world and we possibly look into
buying a motorcycle together, and ride around the country side during the
summer together.
 
Igor was also teaching me more Russian, and even though I wasn't fluent in it,
I could say a sentence or two. I started falling in love with the language, and
with him as well. Although, I wouldn't vocalize it until he was sure that he
loved me. So after six and a half months, I made a decision that could possibly
make or break our relationship, or make the connection between us even
stronger. I mean after all, Igor had my heart and soul, so why not have my body
as well? The worst he could do was say "no" and possibly break up with me, but
knowing him, he wouldn't say no, and not because he loved me either...
 
~A Week Before Christmas, In Professor Kakaroff's Personal Chambers~
 
Staring into each other's eyes Igor held me against his chest, with his arms
wrapped around my waist then let out a sigh. "Are you sure about this Moya
lyubov' (my love)? Because once this is done, I'm not sure if I'll be able to
control myself around you. I am a man of honor Moya lyubov', and I have held
back since I heard your name come out of Professor Snape's lips, but if we do
this, I may not be able to restrain myself around you when were along Moya
lyubov'. Do you understand what I'm saying Kairi?" Igor asked me, as he held
onto me a little tighter, his eyes never leaving mine, as he spoke to me, both
of his eyes and his voice were filled with both worry and concern, not for his
well being, but for mine.
 
Bringing my hand to touch the left side of his cheek, I stroked it then, gave
him a warm smile. "Igor I do, please let's do this." I quietly pleaded to him.
"Once the war starts, we may never get the chance to do this again, so why not
do it now? We heave each other heart and soul so, why not share each others
bodies, at least for one night?" I asked him.  
 
Unwrapping an arm from around my waist, he ran a hand through his
blackish greyish hair, and let out an aggravated sigh then, he closed his eyes
for a moment and re opened them, and returned his attention back towards me.
"Moya lyubov' I don't want to hurt you nor do I want to go against your wishes.
If I had more time, I would do this the old fashioned way and marry you but, I
have neither so, if you really wish this, then we shall do this. But I will
ensure that nothing /unexpected/ happens to you. You know we must not say a
word to anyone, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, if I left you alone with
a child inside of your belly. Plus if this got out to anyone, I would lose you
forever." He confessed to me, as he released me from around his body then, took
my hand in his, our eyes never leaving one another's.
 
Giving him a warm smile, I spoke. "Igor, I want this. More importantly, I want
you, I want all of you. Tonight, just for tonight, let's forget about
everything and let's do this, at least for a couple of hours." I said to him,
kissing his lips afterwards.
 
Looking down at me, he embraced me into his arms, and deepened the kiss then,
breaking away from it, he spoke to me. "As you wish Moya lyubov', as you wish."
Was all he said to me, as he led me towards his bedroom.
 
Unbuttoning his long sleeved dark brown shirt in between our kisses, I slowly
took it off, wanting to cherish this moment forever in my mind, I slowly let it
drop to the floor and slowly took in every inch of his chest before returning
my eyes back to Igor's eyes, he cradled his hands as he placed them on the back
of my head, threading his fingers through my hair. "You're so beautiful Moya
lyubov', ever so beautiful. Don't you ever forget that." He whispered to me, as
he kissed my lips his tongue, requesting entrance into my mouth, and it was
granted.
 
Letting out a moan into the kiss, I felt his hands leave my hair and
gently grip my thighs, as he picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his
waist, and he carried me to his bed, while giving me gentle kisses on my
cheeks, lips and on the side of my neck.
 
Laying me down gently on the bed next to the pillows, I took off the last
article of clothing that I had on, my panties. Throwing them on the floor, he
removed his underwear and climbed on top of me. Kissing my lips, he slowly
kissed every inch of my body, I in return kissed every inch of him.
 
Taking his forearm, I looked at his dark mark for a moment before a shiver ran
up and down my spine then, I let It go, and looked into his eyes. "You're not a
bad man Igor, you may have done horrible things in your past, but on the
present, you've done nothing wrong. You've turned your whole life around, and I
accept every part of you including the one link from your past."  I confessed
to him, as I leaned up and kissed his lips and took his cheeks into my hands,
and we shared a deep kiss, his cock slowly entering inside of my vagina while
we kissed.
 
I expected some sort of pain from his cock entering inside of me, but if there
was any, it was very dull and quick. "Oh Igor." I moaned out, as I rocked my
hips back and forth in time with his and I pulled him closer.
 
Burying his head in between my neck and collar bone, he cried out into it, his
hands tightening their grip in mine. "Kayri (Kairi), Kayri, Kayri Moya lyubov'
(my love)." He murmured out to me in Russian, as he thrusted deeper into me,
silently thanking the heavens he remembered not to get me pregnant by placing a
contraception spell before hand, along with a silencing charm, and a locking
door spell.
 
Time seemed to slow down for the next two hours, each of us placing feverish
kisses, caresses, and strokes on each other's bodies until we both climaxed
inside of each other and our names left the other's lips. We were both covered
in each other's sweat as was shared another kiss.
 
"Can we do that again? That was amazing Igor." I exclaimed to him once he
pulled out of me, and rolled over to the other side of the bed, both of us
panting as we looked at each other with smiles on our faces.
 
Chuckling at my comment, he pulled me towards his chest and kissed my sweaty
cheek then he let out a groan and spoke. "I wish Moya lyubov', but we need to
get dressed, and I need to walk back to the common rooms. It's past curfew and
I wouldn't want Flich catching you out of bed, or both of our necks would be on
the chopping black." He joked to me, as we both got out of his bed and started
dressing ourselves in a peaceful silence.
 
Once we were both dressed, Igor took my hand in his until we reached his front
door, unlocking it, he opened it and motioned me to leave, and I did. Stopping
at the end of the hall, and waited on him.
 
When he caught up with me, he looked me over and readjusted my hair and
wrinkled out my uniform, before we headed towards the Slytherin portrait
together in silence, our minds elsewhere.
 
Once we reached the portrait of the Bloody Baron, who eyed us with suspicion
before speaking to us. "Password?" He hoarsely whispered to us.
 
"Bloody Slytherin." I said to him, as the portrait swung open. Quickly turning
my head before the portrait closed on us, I spoke to him. "Good-night
Professor, I'll see you in class." I quickly said to him.
 
Giving me a firm nod, he bade me a cold good-night as well and walked off in
his usual up-tight and pissed off manner.
 
Heading towards my private room, I opened the door and quickly shut it behind
me, thanking the heavens that the remaining Slytherin students were in there
beds, as I undressed myself and slipped into my nightgown and threw back the
covers, and slid into my bed, before wrapping myself in the sheets and falling
asleep..

~Later On That Night, in the Dungeons~
 
I had Igor pinned up against the classroom door, as we met each other's eyes.
"I can't believe you would commit such a deed with student, none the less
Karkaroff." I said coldly to him, adding, "you could be sacked for what you did
tonight, even though /I/ would enjoy running to the Headmaster and telling him
about what happened tonight, I think we would have to scramble trying to find a
new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher before the war starts, and as you
know Igor, we don't have time for that. So I'm going to pretend that this
little action of yours didn't happen but, I'll be watching you very closely
when your around Ms. Malfoy from now on." I warned him. "Now get out of my
sight Igor, I have a rather important meeting with the Headmaster before I go
to bed." Was all I said to him, as I released my grip on him.
 
Looking up at me with shock in his cowardly eyes, Igor regained his usual
composure. "I didn't even say a word, how did you know?" He asked me.
 
Sending him a glare, I pulled out my wand. "You really are a daft person,
aren't you Igor? Legilimency. I used Legilimens on you as soon as you walked in
my office, you idiot! And you call yourself a skilled wizard of the Dark Arts?
I must admit you and I might be equally matched when it comes to using the Dark
Arts but, at least I'm not that foolish enough to let me guard down. Are you
desperately asking for a death wish Karkaroff? If so, I can easily kill you
with no remorse, but if you want to live the rest of your life out, I suggest
you never come here again at such a late hour. Let me make this clear so even a
coward like you can understand. I'm not your friend Igor, nor will I ever be. I
may respect you, but I don't like you. Now, let me repeat this again. Get. Out.
Of. My. Sight. Karkaroff, I have a meeting with the Headmaster to attend to."
Were my final words to him, as I watched him open and close the office door
behind him.
"Arrogant cowardly bastard." I muttered out to myself, as I headed out of my
office and straight to the Headmaster's office, muttering "lemon drop",
I didn't even waste my time waiting on the gargoyle to open, I just ducked my
head and briskly walked up the stairs towards the Headmaster's office, and
repeated everything that happened at tonight's meeting with the Death Eaters in
his inner circle...  
 
***** Chapter Twenty Nine. The Death of a Foul *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
 
~Five Days Before Christmas, on the Outskirts of Hogwarts, Inside the Forbidden
Forest~
 
Giving the Thestrals the last of the rabbit that I had on me, I looked down and
saw the bottom of my school uniform was being playfully nipped by the six fouls
of the Thestrals, who were whining at me to play with them again.
 
Letting out a sigh, I pulled out an apple, which I found over the Thanksgiving
break, before I left Hogwarts to go spend my holidays with my new best friend
Luna Lovegood and her husband and her three kids, who I all ready knew from
school well expect for Bella, who is still to young to attend Hogwarts, but
within a few she'll be able to. Come to find out, the fouls really like apples
and would even eat oats whenever I could bring them. And once I told Professor
Hagrid about my new discovery, he was amazed at the idea of feeding the fouls
apples and oats, and promised to stock on both of the items, and on carrots,
which both the adults and the fouls enjoyed as treats.
 
Holding up the apple high in the air, I watched as the fouls and a few of the
adults eyed it hungrily. Giving them a smile, I spoke to them. "Last treat for
tonight guys, but this time you have to earn it. Whomever can catch the apple,
gets to eat it, okay?" I asked them. 
 
The fouls let out their whines and started jumping up and down excitedly, as if
to tell me "okay we get, let's go, I want to play!"
 
Laughing at how excited the fouls were over an apple, I threw it somewhere in
the forest and them all take off after the apple, returning ten minutes later
with the apple in between his teeth, a Thestral that I named Kesler, his name
meaning energetic and independent, which he really was. Even for a foul Kesler
was wickedly fast and would run circles around Professor Hagrid and I, when he
felt like it.
 
Counting the Thestrals, I noticed that one of them was missing, and it was
Sloth. Fear instantly set in, as I heard Sloth's cries, and I rushed past
Kesler to go find Sloth, but suddenly stopped by the centaurs Ronan and Bane,
who were holding me back, as I watched a gravely injured Sloth try and stumble
his way back to the herd before I watched in horror, as a werewolf sunk his
teeth into Sloth's neck, instantly killing him. Right there and then all hell
broke lose between the adult Thestrals and the lone werewolf.
 
"Time to go Ms. Malfoy." Ronan said to me, as he quickly led me out of the
forest.
 
Once we were out of the forest, I started to burst into tears, I always hate it
when one of the fouls had to die, but why did it have to be Sloth? He was such
an innocent Thestral, all he wanted to do was to play with the fouls, I
should've known not to let him play with the others, it's not his fault that he
was somewhat slower then the others, it's just how he was born, both Professor
Hagrid and I were going to see if we could maybe get him to start moving
faster, but now we'll never get that chance to find out now.
 
Laying his hand on my shoulder, I turned my head and met Ronan's sad black
eyes. "Don't blame yourself Ms. Malfoy, we both knew Sloth wouldn't have made
it to the end of winter, he just wasn't strong enough, but we'll make sure that
he gets a proper burial. Go on back to the school, the Headmaster has informed
me that you have guests waiting on you. Good-bye for now Ms. Malfoy." Was all
he said to me, before he turned his back on me and headed back into the
Forbidden Forest.
 
Brushing the tears away from my cheeks, I managed to calm myself down, as I
entered the school ten minutes later, where I came face-to-face with a person
that I haven't seen since the summer, my mum. Who stood alongside my brother
and my cousin Sirius...

"She's gone mad your aunt Bellatrix has my darling. I've had to move into
Draco's home since we last saw each other." Mum confessed to me, as we met each
other's eyes and held hands. "Ever since he came back into power over the
summer, your aunt is once again filled with blood lust, she made a rather nasty
comment about Lucius and you a couple of days before the Thanksgiving holiday,
and I lost my temper, and nearly socked her in the mouth, but your uncle
Rodolphus stopped me before I could mess up her pretty little face. After that
I packed my bags and I left. Much to Rodolphus's disdain. Honestly, I'll be
glad when your aunt Bellatrix is dead, Rodolphus seems to be a nicer person
when she's not around." She added coldly to me, her eyes flashed with anger for
a moment, before they returned back to normal, and she sipped on her tea
afterwards.  
 
Sirius rolled his eyes and let out a scoff. "Your just realizing that your
sister has gone mad Narisscia? She's always been that way, the madness within
her just grew more and more when Voldemort came into power during the First
Wizarding War." He coldly said to her.
 
Draco and I eyed each other as we both broke out into grins and started
chuckling at the images of mum socking our aunt in the mouth. What we both
wouldn't have done to see that. Mum rarely lost her temper at anyone expect
when her and dad were married, but for her to lose her temper at her own
sister? Aunt Bellatrix must've really pissed her off by saying something about
our bastard of a father and myself. I wondered what aunt Bellatrix must've said
to her in order for mum to lose her temper but, I wasn't going to pry into
that, maybe some things are better off left unsaid.
 
"Whatever aunt Bellatrix said to you-," Draco was cut off as mum waved her hand
to silence Draco from talking anymore about her sister. "Enough Draco, I don't
want to talk about her anymore she's not my sister anymore, nor is your aunt,
I've disowned her from the family tree, or Sirius did that for me, that was
probably one of the most happiest nights that I've ever had in my entire life."
She said bitterly to us.
 
Smiling at his cousin's words, Sirius let out a howl of laughter. "Let's just
say, that I've wanted to blast her damn name off of the family tree ever since
I was in my early twenties, I sure slept good that night." He said to us in
between laughs.
 
Mum cocked a small smile at her cousin's words then she shook her head
afterwards before she spoke to us. "Our family, our realfamily is back together
again. Ever since I divorced your father, I've felt free and if everything goes
according to my plan I'll have my daughter back again, where she's always
belonged with, her mum." She confessed to us, her eyes met my blue ones once
again, and she added to me. "I mean unless that's what you want Kairi, even
though it would pain me to see you live with that asshole, I can understand
dear."
 
Frowning at her words, I felt Draco hold onto my hand before I spoke to our
mother. "Mum, after all I've been through, it would give me no greater pleasure
then to live with you." I said to her, as I squeezed her hand afterwards.  
 
For the next hour or so we all started to catch up on our life's then, the
Great Hall doors opened up and in walked a rather livid Alastor Moody, who
didn't say a word to us, as he grabbed Sirius by the scruff of his neck, and
brought Sirius's face inches away from his. "Meeting. Headmaster's office at
six pm sharp, does that ring a bell?!" He growled out to him, nearly shaking
him after he spoke to him.
 
Sirius's facial expression changed from scared to one of forgetfulness. "Opps.
I forgot. Can I-," Alastor cut him off. "Save. It. Black. You're coming with me
now!" He shouted to him, ignoring Sirius's wincing after he shouted in his ears
then, dragged him off to the Headmaster's office while mumbling insults at
Sirius under his breath.
 
Once the Great Hall doors shut behind Mad-Eye and poor Sirius, Draco and I eyed
each other and let out twin sighs of relief, before the three of us decided
that maybe it would better if we walked around the school grounds for a bit.
 
It felt good to have mum and the rest of my realfamily back in my life, it felt
nice, even if this was only temporary...

~Inside Headmaster Dumbledore's Office, That Same Evening~
 
"Your late as usual Black." I said coldly to him, letting out a scoff after I
spoke to him, my eyes were focused on the Headmaster the entire time I spoke to
him, as he stood next to Tonks and Lupin, Sirius didn't say a word to me, which
was unusual for him or Remus to not snip back at me. Oh well, I didn't have the
time nor the energy to engage either one of them because, at this moment we had
other more important matters at hand.
 
Giving everyone a smile, the Headmaster begun to speak to everyone. "I've
received some news from Severus that Voldemort will start the attack on
Hogwarts at midnight on the twenty-seventh of this month, three days after
Christmas, Severus and myself aren't sure why Voldemort changed his plans but,
let's just say his followers are a bit ticked off about the recent change in
his plans, all of them are ready for war, and from what Kingsley has just
informed me on, it'll only be another day or two before the Ministry has fallen
and our Minster of Magic will be on the run with a few other members of the
Order." He said to us, ignoring the gasps and curses that were mumbled under
almost everyone's breaths. "Once the Ministry falls, the school will be next,
and Voldemort will come for the school, and I will be killed by him." He
confessed to us, pausing to pop a lemon drop in his mouth before pressing on.
"Once I'm gone, our world as we once knew it, will be at war, and you all know
what to do. My death will be the first of many deaths to come, many lives will
be lost in the next month or so, but we must protect the girl, if Voldemort has
her then, everything we've done for her will have been for nothing."
 
Ron stood up from a chair with his hands balled into fists. "Headmaster, you
can't be serious, you honestly think were going to sit around and let you be
killed? I don't bloody think so!" He shouted out to Albus.
 
Alastor stood up and shot a glare at Ron. "Mr. Wealsey sit down and shut it!
You'll do as your told, this may come to you as a shock but Headmaster Albus
Dumbledore is still alive, and he doesn't need your comments. If Albus dies
then he dies. End. Of. Story, now sit down and shut it!" He growled out to him.
 
With his hands still curled up into fists, Ron let out a scoff, and held onto
his wife's hand. Remaining pissed off throughout the entire meeting.
 
Letting out a sigh, the Headmaster spoke again. "Even though there are dark
times a head of us, I wanted to lighten things up by holding a dance on
Christmas Eve, and I've also wanted to invite you all and your families to
spend the rest of your holidays here at Hogwarts, I'm sure most of you want to
spend time with your loved ones here before the war starts so, I figured why
not. You may all stay in your houses that you were originally sorted in, I've
also made accommodations for everyone who does stay. You're all dismissed,
enjoy your holidays, I'll see you all on Christmas Eve." Were the final words
that he said to everyone.
 
Watching everyone one-by-one file out of the Headmaster's office, I watched the
door close behind Sirius, and let out a sigh once everyone left, leaving just
Albus and myself, as I walked towards the Headmaster's desk and sat in a chair
across from his desk, and I let out another sigh. "Are you sure you made the
right choice by telling everyone about your death Headmaster?" I asked him,
slightly worried about him.
 
Eyeing me over his half moon glasses, Dumbledore spoke to me while sucking on
another lemon drop. "Severus, I just lied to everyone, you know as well as I
do, that it won't be Voldemort that kills me, it'll be Ms. Malfoy who kills me,
and you and I both know that she won't be able to do it, it'll ruin her. So, we
both know who the Dark Lord will turn to when Ms. Malfoy can't do it." He said
to me, his eyes lower their gaze on my wand before meeting my eyes once again.
 
Looking away from the Headmaster's powerful gaze, I let out a frustrated sigh.
"I know Headmaster, I know. I told you before that I would do it, and I still
will, my life isn't worth saving anymore but, hers is. If she killed you, she
would be branded with the Dark Mark right then and there, and everything we've
been doing for the last year will have been for nothing." I confessed to him,
unable to keep the bitterness out of my voice any longer.
 
Dumbledore nodded his head at my words, and spoke his last words to me.
"Severus, I don't call you my right hand man for nothing. I hope you have a
wonderful holiday and I hope to see you at the dance on Christmas Eve." He said
to me, as he dismissed me from his office.
 
Resisting the urge to roll my eyes at the Headmaster's request, I stood up and
got out of the chair, and headed to his office door, I had my hand on the knob
when I spoke my last words to him. "I can't make any promises Headmaster, not
even for her or for you." With those words said, I left his office and headed
to the dungeons, not wanting to be around anyone at this moment in time...

~Inside the Great Hall, Ten Minutes Later~
 
Watching Moya lyubov' (my love) socialize with her family and her close
friends, a small unnoticeable smile formed on my lips. It was good to see Moya
lyubov' happy.
 
After we made love all those nights ago, I didn't get very much sleep
afterwards, my mind kept playing the images of us making love again and again
with her calling out my name over and over again before, during and after both
of us reaching climax.
 
If I wasn't a dead man living on borrowed time, I would ask Draco for her hand
marriage, but I wouldn't want Moya lyubov' to be a widow at such a young age.
When I die everything is going to belong to her, expect for Drumstang, Viktor
can keep the castle, he's the Headmaster of Drumstang now, not I. I know that
our relationship is frowned upon by many, mostly because of the rather large
age gap between us but, from the moment we met, I knew Kayri (Kairi) felt it
to.
 
Suddenly I was pulled from my thoughts with a tap on my shoulder, I turned
around and came face-to-face with Remus Lupin and Alastor Moody. "Sorry Igor,
we didn't mean to interrupt your deep thoughts but Alastor and I, we've come up
with an idea to get Kairi something for Christmas, and we were going to ask
Severus but, we couldn't find him. So, we thought we would ask you, it seems
from her letters that she wrote to Tonks and I over the past three and a half
months, that you two seem um, very close with each other." Remus said nervously
to me, rubbing the back of his head afterwards.
 
Eyeing both of the men, I gave them a small smile. Oh Remus, if you and Alastor
knew just how "close" we are. You'd both kill me where I stood.I thought to
myself, as I laid a hand on the werewolf's shoulder and chuckled. "All right,
let's see what we can find at Hogsmeade, Ms. Malfoy seems to enjoy Tomes and
Scrolls a lot when she's not spending her time at Honeydukes." I joked to the
two men, as we all started walking out of the Great Hall together and heading
towards Hogsmeade together...

***** Chapter Thirty Three. The Black's Family Secret : Narcassa's and Sirius'
Confessions *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
 
~Inside the Great Hall, That Same Day~
 
Sitting next to Draco and mum, I quietly sipped on my tea, and listened to my
brother and my cousins, who were at the moment were having a serious discussion
about the Ministry.
 
I eyed mum before I placed my head on her shoulder, and I whispered to her. "I
love you mum." Before watching Draco and Tonks get into an argument about the
Department of Magical Law Enforcement, a department in which they both worked
in.
 
Wrapping an arm around my waist, mum pulled me closer to her. "I've missed you
so much darling. It nearly killed me when I heard about what Lucius did to you.
I never thought that he would do that, and to his own child, none the less. You
see love Bellatrix, Andromeda, Sirius and Regulus and myself were all born into
a wealthy but, powerful family, as was your father and like his family,
Andromeda and myself became victims of abuse. During that time frame, abuse was
very common in pure blood families, your father's family, like mine was also
abusive, but I'm not sure how abusive they were to him. The things our parents
did to us back then were so horrid that there were days that we couldn't get up
and walk for nearly a week. Although, our father was mainly physically abusive,
as Andromeda and I grew into our early teens, he would make crude sexual
remarks towards us when mum was out of the room, it was so bad, that Andromeda
and I soon confided ourselves into our rooms when we came home from Hogwarts
during the breaks and during the summer." She confessed to me, ignoring the
tears that fell down her face.  
 
Looking up at mum, I stared at her in shock. Who would believe that her and my
aunt were victims of abuse as well. "What about aunt Bellatrix mum, was she
abused as well?" I asked her, as I held onto her hand.
 
Scoffing at the mention of her sister's name, Narcissa let out another scoff.
"Bellatrix wasn't safe from the abuse either, even though your grandfather
favored her more then his other daughters, my sister was sexually abused, and
now that I think about it, her sexual abuse, could be a reason why she's so
damn crazy but, that's the point sweetheart, what I'm trying to say is, that
out of the three of us girls, your deranged aunt is the only one out of the
three of us, that is still abusive Andromeda and I may lose our tempers but, we
would never harm our own children, like your grandfather and your great
grandfather did. Of course my mother would turn a blind eye when Andromeda and
I were beaten until our bottoms changed colors, and it's not because we were
spoiled either, I just believe your grandfather had several issues that he
needed to get help with but being a Black, he was to proud and arrogant to know
that he had a problem. Bellatrix on the other hand, was spoiled, and to the
core, I might add. Mummy dearest wouldn't stand by and watch her favorite
daughter get beaten by her husband. Your grandmother was such an evil woman to
both Andromeda and I in our younger years. I'm glad she is dad, that bitch."
She said bitterly to me, as she kissed the top of my forehead, and eyed her
cousin and her niece and motioned them to come join us in on the conversation.
"Draco sweetheart, you need to hear this to, you're both about to learn a dark
family secret that has been hidden from the both of you for far to long now."
She added to my brother.
 
Sirius and Narcissa met eyes before Sirius spoke to us. "What your mother said
is true Kairi, every last bit of it. Abuse was way to common in pure blood
families back in our day. What we went through is something you or Draco will
never go through, at least not while were still around and breathing. My
brother Regulus never received a beating in his life, I on the other hand, did,
and on a daily basis to. My parents and their pure blood mania thought it was
best that I get a beaten for everything  that I did." He paused to shake his
head at the memories that must've been flooding in his mind, and took a deep
breath before letting out a scoff and then pressed on with the topic at hand.
"My parents, were much like Cygnus and Druella, your mum's parents, and your
grandparents, were almost just like mine. In my parents eyes, I was the black
sheep in the family, and every chance I got to rebelled against them and their
pure blood mania. Not only did I receive my last and final beating the day that
I turned sixteen but, I also got my name blasted off the family tapestry, and
on the next day, I ran away to my best mater's house, and I never stepped foot
in number twelve Grimmauld Place again well, until my parents died, and I was
glad when they both died, my father especially. The bloody bastard, I went to
his funeral and drank myself silly during the entire thing. My mum well, let's
just say even on the day she died, she was still cursing my name, and I drank
myself silly on that day to." He added to us, giving us a smile, he eyed us
after he spoke.
 
The table went quiet after Sirius made his confession to us, both Draco and I
were trying to wrap our heads around the thought of both our mom's and our
cousin's parents abused their own children. The silence was broken when Draco
started laughing, which cause mum to shoot a glare at him. "Draco, what we just
told you shouldn't be a laughing matter." She scolded him.
 
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Draco looked at us. "I wasn't laughing about
the abuse mum, I promise. That must've been really bad for you two, I'm sorry
mum." He said seriously to them, before laughing really hard again and staring
at this time. "No offense to Sirius or you mum but, Merlin's beard living in
the house of Blacks must've been really bad, bad enough that Sirius had to
drink himself silly at his parent's funeral. I'm sorry mum bout our
grandmother's name was Druella, Druella, can you imagine having a name like
that." He said to us, through his laughs.
 
Rolling our eyes, mum and I let out twin scoff's and mumbled under our breaths:
"boys". We both said as we watching Sirius start to laugh with Draco.
 
Slapping her forehead at the scene before, mum just shook her head and chuckled
a little as she watched her son fall onto the floor in a fit of laughter, which
only cause Sirius to laugh harder, as he laid his head on the table and banged
his fists on it, unable to control himself any longer.
 
Soon Sirius' laughter became infectious and everyone at the table was laughing.
Needless to say, tonight was going to be a long night for this lot...
 
 
 
***** Chapter Thirty Four. Cartouche (Cartidge) *****
Chapter Notes
     This chapter is in Kairi's P.O.V.
 
~Christmas Eve, Inside the Great Hall, Later on That Night~
 
Feeling nearly everyone's eyes on me, as I entered the Great Hall with Draco's
arm tightly wrapped under my arm, we met each other's eyes for a moment before
he leaned down into my ear and whispered. "I'm kind of scared to let you go
Annabelle, it seems you've caught everyone's eye in the place, including
Professor Snape's and the old buzzard Alastor, are you sure it's okay to let
you go?" He asked me.
 
Giving my brother a smile, I leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the cheek
then whispered back in his ear my answer. "Draco, you don't have to be so over
protective of me, what do you think is going to happen? A bloody Death Eater is
going to waltz in here and take me from right under everyone's noses? The
majority of people are Auror's, no one would dare touch me while their here.
Relax older brother, and go have some fun, I'll join you, mum, Astoria, and
Scorpius later. I think I'm going to socialize with the rest of our family and
friends. I think I'm starting to like the Wealsey's, especially those twins,
their a hoot." I awnsered to him, as I gave him another peck on the cheek and
unwrapped my arm from around his, and walked towards the table that my cousins
were sitting at. Seeing all the men at the table stand up at once, I started to
blush, trying to hide it as it started forming on my cheeks, as I took a seat
in between Bill and Lupin, who were discussing about the werewolves that were
still lurking around in the Forbidden Forest. Well until both Fleur and Tonks
elbowed them in the ribs and they both gave their wives a pained look on their
faces.
 
"No talking about the war or anything related it to you two." They both warned
them, Tonks waving a finger at her husband, and giving him a glare afterwards.
 
"Yes darlings." They both said at the same time, holding onto their sides, as
they eyed each other and exchanged looks of pain on their faces before resuming
their normal expressions and started talking about something else.
 
Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head and saw Sirius all dressed up
with his usual wavy brown hair straightened, and a smile warm on his face
before he spoke to me. "May I dance with you?" He asked me, as he held out his
other hand for me to take, and I gladly accepted it.
 
Holding each other's hands, as we made our way to the dance floor , I saw
Sirius eyeing my dark green ballroom dress before we met each other's eyes once
again, he placed his hand on my waist, while the other hand took my hand in
his. Placing my hand on his shoulder, the song started out slowly then the beat
started going faster.  
 
"I take it Lucius made you take dance lessons when you were younger?" He asked
me, as he spun me around then, gently pulled me towards his chest and adding,
"the only reason I ask is because, you have excellent footwork."
 
Giving him a smile, I took a hold of his wrist and he let me go while I did
a quick spin before spinning around back to his chest then, I spoke to him. "Oh
yes daddy dearest made sure his only daughter knew how to dance by hiring the
best dance instructors in the wizarding world. It was probably one of the only
things that he's ever done right, and believe me Sirius, those three thousand
galleons didn't go to waste, it was worth every galleon." I confessed to him,
as the song drew it's final note, Sirius let go of my arm, and I spun my final
spin then, curtsied to him, while he bowed back and took my hand in his then,
led me off the dance floor, and we headed back to the table, where I took my
seat next to Bill and Lupin once again.
 
"Marvelous dancing Kairi, I think even Fleur got a little jealous while
watching you out there on the dance floor, and my wife's a terrific dancer."
Bill said to me, cracking a smile afterwards then, took a hold of his wife's
hand.
 
Shooting a glare at her husband, Fleur frowned at his words. "Shut up Bill or
I'll tell everyone about your you-know-what." She threatened him, smirking
afterwards.
 
Fleur's words instantly shut Bill up whatever his you-know-what was, made his
face flush from embarrassment, and he looked at the ground.
 
Eyeing Tonks with a raised eyebrow, we both stared at Fleur, hoping she would
reveal whatever her husband's you-know-what was but, she didn't, she just
changed the topic.
 
I wasn't at the table for very long sadly, I was being asked to dance from
pretty much everyone, expect from Professors Karkaroff and Snape. I was at
least hoping to dance with Igor just once tonight but, I didn't think I'd ever
get the chance...
 
~Twenty Minutes Later~
 
I had just got done dancing with both Lorcan and Lysander, and on Merlin's
beard were they both excited to dance with me, and so was I but, my feet were
killing me, after the first four dances, that I had to decline their fifth
dance with me. I had just taken my heels off and sat with my brother and mum
when I felt someone tap on my shoulder.
 
At this point I was tired and my feet were starting to go number, why mum
picked out these ridiculous heels were beyond me, they were pretty but, they
hurt like hell after having five straight back-to-back dances with the
Longbottom boys, I was starting to regret not bringing and flats with me.
 
Turning around, I was about to tell the person off rather they liked it or not
but, when I saw it was Igor, my mood changed. "Thank Merlin's bread Professor,
I never thought you would dance with me." I whispered to him, as I started
putting my dark green heels back on but, he stopped me when he held up a pair
of dark purple flats.
 
"May I?" He asked me, as he motioned at the dance floor.
 
Nodding a "yes" to him, I thanked him for the flats and quickly slid them on my
aching feet, as he led me to the dance floor, and Cartouche by the wizarding
band called Blackmore's Night came on, I instantly took his hand, and he
wrapped a hand around the lower part of my waist, as the song started and we
danced our way onto the dance floor, ignoring some of the gasps we got along
the way, I spun myself out of Igor's arms before running towards the edge of
the dance floor, and extending my knees, I leapt high in the air and ran
straight into Igor's arms.
 
 Catching me around the waist, I was lifted into the air and spun high in a
circle by Igor before, he bent in his elbows and threw me high in the air,
while doing flips. There's a reason why the Cartouche was a forbidden dance
even amongst witches and wizards, and only in a second everyone would know why.
 
I headed straight down towards the dance floor, head first, praying Igor would
catch me before I hit the ground. I was only two inches away from becoming a
part of the dance floor, when he caught me by the waist, and lifted me up once
again in the air.
 
Doing a couple of front flips in the air, I quickly curled up into a ball with
one of my hands reaching out for Igor's before, I once again hit the ground,
and this time I decided to make this dance even more dangerous  then it all
ready was. Closing my eyes, and tucking my hand in so, this time everything
depended on my partner.
 
Feeling his hands catch my ribs, he lifted me up in the air one final time, and
I quickly uncurled myself from my ball formation, I straightened myself out, as
flat as I could so, that I wouldn't kill us both, inhaling quickly, I felt
Igor's hand on my belly and with that final move, the song ended, and the Great
Hall that was once quiet became, erupted with clapping, cheers, and whistles
for us both.
 
A crowd formed around us once Igor put me down, and we were both bomb barded by
the guests, staff and students alike, who were wanting another encore, but we
both refused. Igor and I both breathing heavily, and we were both about to
speak when a patronus came crashing into the middle of the dance floor.
 
Everyone turned their attention away from us and stared at the Lynx, the
Minster of Magic's patronus, and it spoke. "The ministry has fallen. I'm on the
run. They have taken over. They will come in three days. Prepare yourselves."
Were the words that came from the minster's patronus.  
 
Suddenly panic set in and everyone was rushing towards the Great Hall doors
but, the Headmaster shut them before anyone could get to them, which only
caused everyone to become more panicked.
 
The member of the Order turned to their heads to the Headmaster, silently
asking him, 'what should we do now?' Dumbledore met their eyes, and as if
reading their thoughts he reassured them with just a look and then turning to
Alastor, he gestured to him to calm the panicked crowd of students, their
families and the guests, and Moody nodded his head at the Headmaster's request.
 
 
Raising his cane high in the air with both hands, he brought it down onto the
ground so hard, that the crowd of panicked guests turned around and looked at
the Headmaster.
 
With both of his hands raised in the air. Albus Dumbledore silenced everyone
and met everyone's eyes before he begun to speak. "Everyone just calm down,
there's no need to fear not as long as I'm here. All of the remaining students
will be led back to their houses either by their Head of Houses or by the
Prefects, in a calm and timely manner. The guests and the families will be led
by Professors McGonagall and Professor Sprout back to the outskirts of Hogwarts
where they can Apprate back to their destinations if the wish. The remaining
guests will wait here until everyone is gone, we will have a talk once I come
back." He said to everyone then added to the Prefects and to the Head of the
Houses. "Prefects, I want you to remain with the students in your houses, with
the expectation of the female Slytherin Prefect, you will all remain in your
common rooms until each and every Head of House has come in and counted each
and every student. From there, the students may choose to remain here for the
remainder of the holiday or may go home. That is all." Was all the Headmaster
said to everyone before he got out off of the platform and disappeared in the
crowd of people.
 
Taking my hand and holding me close, Igor and I headed towards the tables, and
we sat next to my family and most of the members that were in the Order.
 
Looking at everyone, I tightened my grip on Igor's hand before I spoke. "Where
did the Headmaster go?" I asked them.
 
"In his office, he'll be back in a moment. He's gone to lift the Apparition
Charm on the school, temporarily." Mad-Eye lied to me before he could get a
closer look on whose hand I was holding but, Lupin blocked his view, and pulled
out a chocolate bar.
 
Holding it out to me, I took it and opened it slowly, I was about to ask why he
handed me a chocolate bar, he answered my unspoken question. "It's to calm the
nerves Kairi." He lied to me, as he and the others watched me eat it.
 
Once I finshed eating the chocolate bar, my eyes started getting heavy and the
final words I heard Lupin say were, "I'm sorry Kairi but, this was for your own
good." I heard as I fell asleep on Igor's shoulder...

I awoke to people arguing and a throbbing headache. Grabbing the side of my
forehead, I opened my eyes and looked around saw my mum, Draco, Lupin, Tonks,
Sirius, most of the Wealsey family, Mad-Eye, and Professors Snape and
Karkaroff, and the Headmaster gathered around my bed.
 
Before I could ask what everyone was doing here, Lupin spoke up. "I'm sorry
about that Ms. Malfoy, but it was for your own safety. Had you stayed awake a
second longer, you would've heard everything, and we couldn't let that happen,
just in case the Dark Lord ever got a hold of you and tortured you for
information." He confessed to me, patting my hand afterwards, he looked at the
Headmaster.
 
Dumbledore nodded his head at Lupin then eyed Alastor who banged his cane on
the hospital wing floor and the arguing stopped. "Ms. Malfoy, the Order and
your family have come to a decision to move you to an unknown location tomorrow
night, for your protection and safety." He confessed to me.
 
I let the rage boil in my blood but before I could  yell at everyone, Professor
Karkaroff held onto my hand, which caused me to turn my attention away from
everyone and at him instead. I was about to snap his head off, but when I met
eyes, all of my anger that I held inside of me, was brought down into a simmer.
"Don't be angry at the Headmaster Kairi, he's only doing what he thinks is best
for you." He said softly to me.
 
Draco took a step forward and stood behind Igor with a hand on his shoulder.
"And if the Headmaster think it's best to hide you then it's what we'll do.
it's our job to keep you safe and as far away from himas possible." He said to
me, giving me a smile afterwards.
 
Rolling my eyes, I let out a sigh and eyed everyone. "Fine. Now can I get out
of this bloody bed?" I asked out, as I slipped my hand out of Igor's, threw
back the covers, and swung my legs off of the side of the bed, and stood up,
and before anyone could stop me. I bolted out of the Hospital Wing and headed
towards the one place I could call my safe haven, the Forbidden Forest, with
tears in my eyes, not caring about the arguing between Sirius and Lupin...

~Inside the Forbidden Forest, Thirty Minutes Later~
 
Sitting on the ground with Kesler curled up in my lap, I started petting him.
"Kesler, I'm so mad, I can't believe they would do something like that without
my permission! I get it, their just protecting me but none of them have ever
asked how I feel about all of this. Not a single one of them! Their not the
ones the Dark Lord is after, he wants me, not the Order! I never asked for
their protection, they just did it, I never asked for any of this!" I shouted
out to him, as tears fell down my all ready tear-stained cheeks.
 
Kesler looked at me for a moment, before licking my tears away then buried his
nose in my chest before letting out a soft whine, as if he agreed with what I
said to him.
 
I was so busy being angry at everyone else that I didn't even notice that I was
surrounded by Death Eaters, until I heard a low growl come from behind me.
Standing up at once, I quickly pulled out my wand and started backing up a
little until I bumped into someone's chest.  
 
Turning around I came face-to-face with Fenrir Greyback, who was looking down
at me with a twisted grin on his face. "Hello poppet, nice to see your lovely
face again." He growled out to me, as he brought his hands around my forearms,
and started digging his nails into them, causing blood to start spilling onto
the forest ground. Luckily for me, the Thestrals knew that I wasn't an enemy.
 
"That's enough Fenrir, you'll keep your filthy claws off of my child, or should
I just call the Dark Lord right here and right now, and tell him that you just
made his bride bleed?" I heard my father say from in front us, his wand pointed
at the werewolf's forehead.
 
Hearing someone let out a scoff from across us, a figure stepped out of the
shadows, it was Antonin Dolohov, who shot a glare at Fenrir and Lucius. "Go
ahead Lucius, summon the Dark Lord, and alert Dumbledore, and the Orderthat
we're here, or did you forget our orders?" He said coldly to him, looking at me
as he spoke to my father.
 
Lucius' lip curled up at Dolohov's words, as he pulled his wand out and almost
attacked him but Bellatrix came out of hiding and stopped him. "Clam yourself
Lucius, Dolohov's right, we don't need to draw attention to ourselves, let's
just take Kairi and leave, the Dark Lord didn't say-," Lucius turned his head
and cut off Bellatrix before she could let anything else slip out of her mouth.
"Shut. Up. Bella, you're trying my patience, you're lucky your still standing
here." He said coldly to her, as he shot a cold look at Fenrir and I. "Release
her Fenrir or I'll kill you right here and right now, I'm sure the Dark Lord
wouldn't be surprised if his only werewolf went missing." He added to him.
 
Letting out a growl , Fenrir released his grip on me, and took a step back, his
eyes focused on me, as he placed a finger in his mouth and licked the blood off
of his fingernail afterwards.
 
Resisting the urge not to shiver at Fenrir touching me, I started to pull my
wand out but, before I could do that, someone grabbed my arm and stopped me.
 
Turning my head, I came face-to-face with a Death Eater named Yaxley, whose
lips were pushed together in a frown, his piercing blue eyes never leaving
mine, as he spoke to me. " Don't even think about it Annabelle, or you might
get hurt because, you're clearly out numbered here, and the Dark Lord wouldn't
want you to get hurt by one of us. Now be a good Malfoy and come quietly, and
the Dark Lord might spare your loved ones." He said to me, before gently
rolling up my sleeve and looking away from my eyes and down at my bleeding
forearm, before casting a dirty look at Fenrir. "You damn werewolf, the Dark
Lord is surely going to hear about this, and for your sake, let's hope he
doesn't kill you." He added bitterly to him, as he pulled out his wand and
placing on my forearm, he whispered out, "what a waste of pure blood. Daft
animal never send one to do a pure blood's job." He muttered out to himself, as
he was about to heal my wounds before being thrown backwards into a deeper part
of the forest.   
 
Heads turned as Sirius and Lupin stood a few feet away from everyone with their
wands out and pointed at the group of Death Eaters.
 
Nearly everyone pointed their wands at the two men, until Lucius stopped them.
"Put them away, don't waste your breaths on fighting these two, their not worth
it." He said to everyone, as he gave me one last look before nearly turning his
back on us but, Sirius muttered out "Stupefy" at Lucius but, but it was
deflected by Bellatrix before It could it hit him in the back.
 
Turning his head at Bellatrix, Lucius narrowed his eyes at the blood hungry
witch. "Put. It. Away. Bella now." He said to her through his teeth before
adding to her, "you'll get your chance soon, now let's go." Was all he said to
her before  disaparting with the others.
 
Giving her cousin one last look, she let out a scoff then with a roll of her
eyes, she disparted as well.
 
Putting his wand away Yaxley and I met eyes one last time before he spoke to
us. "We'll be back soon for the girl, don't think that this is the last
encounter with us." Was as all he said before disaparting as well.
 
Eyeing the dried blood on the ground, Lupin didn't say a word as he muttered
"Tergo" and "Episkey" before he whispered out to Sirius. "Greyback did this to
her, he's the only one who would leave his mark on a person like this." He said
to him, as we all quietly left the forest, not saying a word to each other
until we reached the school grounds. Giving me an apology for tricking me into
eating the chocolate bar, and a lecture on the dangers of begin in the forest
at a time like this, all the way back to the school...

~Christmas Night, An Hour Before Midnight, Inside Igor's Personal Chambers~
 
"Are you sure Tonks is covering for you?" He asked me in between kisses, and us
undressing.
 
Eyeing Igor, I gave him a quick smile and removed the last article of clothing
I had on before scooting myself on his bed, I spoke to him. "Yes, I'm sure
she's covering for me Igor. Besides, she knows that it'll be-," Igor cut me off
with a deep kiss.
 
Looking into my eyes, he caressed my breasts, causing me to let out a soft
moan. "Don't say it Kairi, I don't even want to think about that subject
tonight. Let's enjoy this tonight, while we can." He said to me, once we broke
away from the kiss, placing another kiss on my forehead, he started leaving a
trail of kisses down my body, causing me to moan in certain places.
 
Even though we tried to forget about what was going to happen, the entire time
we were making love, and moaning each other's moans, we both knew that after
this was all over, we would never be able to do this again. Igor, the man that
I loved very much, was going to sacrifice himself for me and all because of
this damned war. If I could turn back time, I would've made sure none of this
would've happened, and the man I love wouldn't have to die in vain.
 
Climaxing over and over again, we held onto each other tightly, ignoring the
mixture of sweat from each other's body heat, our lips were either on sweat
covered bodies or on each other's lips.
 
We took our time re-exploring our bodies as we climaxed one last time after
switching postions more then once, and we kissed each other even after putting
our clothes back on.
 
Giving each other one last kiss, we buried each other's heads into our necks,
and we both started crying, unable to hold our emotions in any longer.
 
Drying the last tears of my tears away, Igor kissed my cheek and took a hold of
my hand, and we left his personal chambers one last time, hand-in-hand. Neither
one of us caring about what anyone had to say, as we walked towards the Great
Hall together where Sirius and other Order members were waiting on me.
 
Giving my hand one last squeeze, Igor kissed my hand and took a couple of steps
back before we met each other's eyes one last time, as I disparted to an
unknown safe house.
 
Once I was gone, Igor summoned a piece of parchment and handed it to Professor
Snape. "Give it to her when the time is right, and take care of her for me
Severus." Was all he said to him, before he to disparted to the Shrieking
Shack.
 
Pocketing the letter, Severus disparted to the same safe house that I was at,
not even bothering to open the letter because he all ready knew what it
contained and what it was.
 
The letter that the potions master had with him was Igor Kakaroff's last will
and testament...

~The Next Night, on the Outskirts of Hogwarts~
 
"Whatever happens Ms. Malfoy, don't give in to them." Professor Snape said
coldly to me, as we walked quickly across the school grounds.
 
Lowering my head as we walked, I shoved my hands in my pockets. "Yes Professor
Snape." Was all I said to him, trying my best to hide the sadness in my voice
but, it was no use, at least not when your walking next to the potions master.
 
We were only a few feet away from the castle doors before Professor Snape
grabbed my wrist and spun me around so I could face him. "Control your emotions
Ms. Malfoy. If any of his followers even catch a whiff of your fear, they'll
latch onto it. Go on to the Astronomy Tower Ms. Malfoy, they'll be here soon."
Was all Professor Snape said to me once we entered Hogwarts.
 
~At the Astronomy Tower~
 
With my wand out and pointed at the Headmaster, my entire body shook as I spoke
to him. "I'm sorry Headmaster but, I-," Dumbledore cut me off with a wave of
his hand.
 
Staring into my eyes, he pulled out his wand and held it loosely at his side
before he spoke to me. "It's okay Ms. Malfoy, we both know that killing may run
through out your family's blood but, it doesn't run through your veins, I can
see it in your eyes, that this is the last thing you want to do but, I
understand why. Now go on disarm me before the others get here." He said
quietly and quickly to me before, adding to me, "I just want you to know that
you're a very bright girl, and no matter what happens, know that you are loved
by so many."
 
Nodding my head at his head, I pointed my wand at the Headmaster's and muttered
out "Expelliarmus" and I watched as his wand flew from his hand and onto the
floor with a clatter.
 
Hearing the door open and close behind me, I also heard several footsteps a
moment later, and I knew that they had come to watch the Headmaster's death.
 
"Good job Kairi, he will be so very proud of you. Now all you have to do is say
those two words, and he'll be dead." Bellatrix said from behind me, as she
quickly pecked my cheek after speaking to me.
 
"She doesn't have the stomach for it Bella, move her out of my way, and I'll
kill him." I heard Dolohov say coldly to Bellatrix.
 
Turning her head at Dolohov's words, her lips curled up in a snarl. "No. She
must do it, the Dark Lord wishes for it." She snarled at him before leaning
into my ear and whispering, "do it Kairi sweetheart, the Dark Lord will greatly
reward you for this. Do it now, just say those words and it'll be over." Was
all she said to me before taking a step back and staring at me, a twisted grin
lining up on her face.
 
"Just say those two words and he'll be dead Annabelle. Come on, and do it.
Prove us wrong." I heard Yaxley say as he stood to my left, his blue eyes
looking down at me, as he waited on me to kill the Headmaster.
 
Pushing his way to the front, Greyback pulled out his wand and pointed it at
Albus Dumbledore but, Yaxley saw this and pulled out his wand as well. "I'm
tired of waiting on this girl to kill him, let me take care of him, it'll be
over and then the Dark Lord will reward me instead of this worthlessuseless
girl-," before Greyback could finish his sentence, Yaxley casted "Stupefy" on
him, and the spell threw him backwards.
 
Putting his wand away, Yaxley shot Greyback a cold look before laying a hand on
my shoulder. "You dim witted animal, the Dark Lord didn't say Fenrir Greyback
is going to kill the Headmaster, he said it has to be Kairi, and if you ever
speak another word against her, Dumbledore's death won't be the only one here
tonight, you just mark my words Greyback, or I'll kill you before the Dark Lord
does." He said coldly to the werewolf, as he looked down at me once again and
added softly to me, "end this Annabelle, we don't have all night." Was all he
said to me.
 
Staring at the Headmaster with my wand pointed at his chest, I was about to say
"Avada Kedavra" when Professor Snape showed up.  
 
Removing his from mine, the Headmaster spoke only to him. "Please Severus." He
said to him.
 
Not meeting the Headmaster's eyes, he pointed his wand at the Headmaster's
chest and said the two words that would end his life forever. "Avada Kedavra."
Was all he said to him, before grabbing the back of my shirt and pulling me
away from the crowd of Death Eaters.
 
Letting out a shriek of happiness, Bellatrix threw herself at the astronomy
tower's railing and pointed her wand at the night sky and shouted out
"Morsmorde" and the Dark Mark appeared into the night sky, she then let out a
crackle and her and the other Death Eaters headed towards the door, and they
went off to cause damage to the one and only place that I could call a
"home"...

~An Hour Later, Inside Hogwarts~
 
I watched as Bellatrix destroyed everything in her sight, I knew at once that
she had to die, the madness in her was starting to come out, I could see it in
her eyes. My former aunt was a certified A class psychopath and I could see
the blood lust in her eyes as she left the Great Hall, crackling all the way
through out the school until professor McGonagall stood in the middle of the
doorway, her wand pointed at Bellatrix.
 
Raising an eyebrow at the Transfiguration professor, she gave her a cold smile
and pointed her wand at her as well. "Get out of the way Minerva, I'd hate to
kill you but were on a bit of a tight schedule right now, and the Dark Lord is
waiting on us. So, just make yourself useful and move." She said coldly to her,
as she pointed her wand at Minerva's throat.
 
Glaring at her former student, her lip curled up. "No, I don't think so
Bellatrix, I've let you destroy everything in sight tonight but it ends right
here, I will not let you or any damn Death Eater take a very bright student out
of this castle, so she can be turned into one of you." She said coldly to her.
"Everte Statum!" She shouted out to her but, her spell was deflected by Yaxley,
who let out a snarl and glared at Bellatrix before shouting to her. "We don't
have time for this Bella, just kill her and let's go you've wasted enough time
destroying everything in your way. The Dark Lord is growing inpatient, he wants
the Malfoy girl now. Kill her and let's go." He shouted at her, and adding to
her, "or I'll do it myself."
 
Turning to Professor Snape, I looked at him, and with my eyes I begged him to
do something - anything to stop Bellatrix or one of the other Death Eaters from
killing Professor McGonagall.
 
Snape only glanced at me before, shoving me out of the way and pointing his at
her, he said. "/Flipendo/." He whispered out then, grabbed me by the back of my
shirt and waited on the other Death Eaters to start leaving the castle before
we followed them but, Professor McGonagall grabbed me by my wrist, and I was
stopped in my tracks.
 
Turning my head, I looked down at my Transfiguration professor with sadness in
my eyes. "I'm so sorry professor but I have no choice. He has someone very
close to me, and I have to do this, no matter the cost." I said quietly to her.
 
Looking at me with her sad blue eyes, she let out a weak sigh. "I know Ms.
Malfoy, just return in one piece. Regardless rather or not your branded with
his mark, you're still one of my most brightest students. Be safe." Was all she
said before she pasted out, her hand slipping out of my wrist and falling onto
the stone floor.
 
Giving my Transfiguration professor one last look, Professor Snape exited out
of the school and hurried past Bellatrix and the other Death Eaters who were
taking great delight in burning down Professor Hagrid's hut.
 
Hearing Fang barking, I spun around and tore myself out of Snape's grip, and
pushed myself past the Death Eaters and into Hagrid's burning hut, and yelling
at Fang to come to me.
 
Fang ran towards me and looked at me. "Run Fang, run to the castle, you'll be
safe there." I managed to get out to him before the hut started to collapse
around me.
 
"You stupid girl, he wants you alive, not dead." Yaxley growled out to me, as
he pulled me out of the hut then, pulling out his wand, he held it to my throat
and muttered "Anapneo" to clear out my smoke-filled lungs before grabbing my
wrist and pulling me in the direction of Hogsmeade, and everyone followed
behind us, expect for Bellatrix, who was ever so determined to cause as much
damage as she could along the way. Shrieking at the top of her lungs that Albus
Dumbledore was dead the entire way, as we headed to Hogsmeade.
Apparently Bellatrix's shrieking was getting to Yaxley, as he yelled at her to
shut up when we past the Wizarding Wireless Network Headquarters, the last shop
in Hogsmeade.
 
Letting out a snarl, Bellatrix let out one final cry about the Headmaster's
death before, we headed down the pathway that would take us to the Shrieking
Shack.
 
"He'll be so pleased to meet his young bride at last, and he'll be overjoyed
that you killed the Headmaster. He's going to reward you very well Kairi,
perhaps you're not so much a coward like your lover and pathetic excuse of a
father is." Fenrir said coldly to me, before giving me a grin.
 
Blocking out Fenrir's words to me, I shot a glare at him. "I didn't kill the
Headmaster Snape did! Why should I be rewarded for something that I didn't even
do?" I cried out to him.
 
 Everyone stopped and looked at me before giving me twisted smiles, expect for
Snape, who just let out a scoff and frowned at my confession before speaking.
"It doesn't matter who killed the Headmaster, were just going to lie to him, to
spare you from any harm. Trust me when I say this Kairi, the Dark Lord will
punish all of us, once he finds out that you didn't kill him." Snape said to
me, as he moved past us, and was the first one to enter the Shrieking Shack,
followed behind by Bellatrix, Dolohov and Fenrir, I followed behind them, while
Yaxley brought up the rear, and closed the door behind him.
 
"Is my bride here Severus? Did she kill him?" I heard Voldemort ask out from
another room.
 
Staring at Yaxley with fear in my eyes, I bit my lip before staring at the
shack's floor, trying not to cry in front of him but, I was so scared that it
wouldn't be very long before I broke down and cried.
 
Feeling his hand on my shoulder, he leaned into my ear and whispered into it.
"Calm yourself Annabelle, it'll be okay. Hopefully, the Dark Lord will be nicer
to you then he is with the rest of us." Was all he said to me before standing
straight up and taking a couple of steps back, before kneeling on the ground.
 
"Yes my lord she's here and it's been done. Dumbledore fell from the Astronomy
Tower an hour ago." Snape confessed to him.
 
Hearing his footsteps echo off the walls I quickly tried to hide my emotions
from him but, it was no use, he all ready knew that I was scared of him from
the moment he walked into the room.
 
Hearing his footsteps circle around me, I didn't dare look into his eyes
because the moment that I did, he would know everything. "Well, I must say you
are more beautiful then I would've ever imagined my dear. You'll be a perfect
wife. So submissive and passive, you'll be perfect, your blood is just a bonus
for me." He said to me, as stopped circling me and stood behind me, placing his
hand on the back of my head, he intertwined his hand in my hair then, buried
his nose in my hair, and inhaled the scent of it, letting out a sigh of
pleasure, he let go of my hair then, leaned into my ear. "Don't worry Kairi,
I've all ready taken care of your coward of a father for you, at the moment
he's being nursed back to health by your uncle. I can't stand people who commit
incest but, for a man to call himself a father then commit such a hideous act
upon his own flesh and blood, Well, let's just say, that it would give me no
greater pleasure to kill him but, I wanted to hear what my lovely soon-to-be
bride's thoughts were on this subject would be." He added to me, before
motioning at Yaxley to leave the room and to go to the other that Voldemort was
in earlier.
 
After he spoke to me, he pressed his hand against my back and led me to another
room where only Voldemort's inner circle was present, and they all sat at a
rather long table, all of them staring at me with smiles on their faces, expect
for Greyback, who seemed to be missing along with my brother and uncle.
 
"Pick any seat my dear my- I mean our followers will be more then happy to find
another seat or they could stand, they wouldn't mind doing that either."
Voldemort said coldly to everyone, as he casted his eyes at every Death Eater,
who quickly moved out of their seats and stood behind them, expect for
Bellatrix who let out a snarl of displeasure and remained in her seat much to
her lord's displeasure.
 
Biting my lip, I walked towards Professor Snape's seat and looked at him for
moment and eyed Voldemort, who gestured for me to sit in his most trusted
servant's seat. Mumbling an apology to him, I sat in his chair, regrettably.  
 
Once everyone took their seats once again, I heard screams from upstairs,
looking up, I stared at Voldemort, who gave me a fake smile before shouting at
his servant Wormtail to keep the "guests" quiet.  
 
"Yes my lord." He mumbled out as he pointed his wand at the floor above him and
muttered out "Silencio." and the "guests" upstairs became quiet again.
 
Leaning forward with his elbows on the wooden table, Voldemort smiled at his
followers before speaking to them. "For those of you who don't remember the
announcement that was made this summer, this lovely pure blood girl that's
sitting beside me, is Lucius Malfoy's daughter Kairi Malfoy, and she's to be my
bride just as soon as I dispose of one of our guests, until then she will join
our ranks and become one of us." He said to us, as he met Severus' eyes.
"Severus if you would please."
 
Fear set in just as soon as Voldemort spoke to everyone, I was about to make a
run for it but, I was frozen in place. I had just been placed in a Full Body
Binding Curse that Professor Snape must've placed over me while his Lord was
speaking to everyone.
 
Looking at Severus Voldemort gave him a fake warm smile and spoke to him. "If
you would do the honors Severus." He said to him, the fake kindness in his
voice was laced with venom, Voldemort was putting on a show that I was suppose
to believe but, I wasn't buying it. Something was up, I wasn't sure what was
going on but, I knew something bad was going to happen but, I didn't to who and
how soon it was going to happen.  
 
Meeting his Lord's eyes, Severus bent down and rolled up my sleeve gently, and
placed his wand on my forearm, he whispered out a spell of some kind, and
instantly I felt a hot burning and painful sensation running through my veins.
 
I knew at once why Professor Snape put me in this Body Binding Curse, he
must've known that I would've run as soon as Voldemort spoke those words, and
he was right. Given the chance, I would've ran as fast as I could out of this
place and away from all of these people but, this was just part of the show,
and I happened to be the main event. Letting out a soundless scream of at the
pain that the Dark Mark was causing me, as Professor Snape kept branding it
into me, I felt a hot, burning tears running down my face, as I let out another
soundless scream at the pain that was shooting up and down my arm.
 
Finally what seemed like a century, the Full Body Binding Curse was released
and I let out a choked gasp, and no longer able to hold back my anger and pain,
I jumped out of my seat and leapt at Voldemort, pulling out my wand, I aimed it
at his throat, I shouted at him. "You BASTARD!" But, both Professor Snape and
Yaxley held me back from attacking him.
 
Giving me a smirk, Voldemort stroked my cheek and met my eyes. "I knew sooner
or later your real feelings for me would come out, good. Lucius almost had me
fooled that he groomed you so well but, I knew when the time came for us to
meet, you would have a change of heart, of course I'm sure that all changed
when Karkaroff came into the picture, and that's why your own father pretty
much disowned from the family." He said to me, as he put his hand back on the
table and looked away from me and in Wormtail's direction. "Bring our guests
out, it's time for her first test." Was all he said to him, before returning
his attention back to me. "Let her go gentlemen, she isn't an animal. Would you
like something to clam your nerves Ms. Malfoy? A glass of Brandy? Or perhaps a
cigarette? I'm sure you'll need both of them after what's next." He added
coldly to me, as he summoned a goblet, a bottle of Brandy, a pack of opened
Menthol cigarettes, a dark green lighter and an ashtray.
 
I instantly reached for the pack of cigarettes with a shaky hand, I accidently
poured nearly the whole pack of cigarettes, expect for two. Pulling out one of
the cigarettes, I brought it to my lips, and lit it, and then took a rather
long drag off of it, as I inhaled the chemicals and exhaled the smoke a moment
later.
 
Everyone in the room watched me until two men were led in the room with chains
on both of their ankles and wrists, Greyback, and my uncle Rodolphus followed
behind them, their wands out, and pointed at each man's back.
 
Standing up Voldemort flicked his wand at the two chained men and grinned at
everyone. "Allow to present tonight's entertainment my bride's swine of a
father Lucius Malfoy, and her coward of a lover, Igor Karkaroff." He said out
to everyone, ignoring the gasps from the Death Eaters, and my cries for him to
stop this madness, he pressed on. "Tonight my friends someone will die, not by
my hands or any of yours, but by my bride's hands. She will decide which man
lives and dies tonight. Will it be the man who committed incest with his own
flesh blood that dies tonight? Or will it be the coward who turned his back on
us that will die?" He added to everyone, his eyes meeting mine afterwards then,
he spoke to me. "Go on Kairi, choose who will die. Lucius or Igor?" He asked
me.
 
Not meeting Voldemort's eyes, I put the cigarette that I held in between my
fingers down on a nearby ashtray, and stared into my father's desperate blue
eyes then, I stared into Igor's sad black eyes. I had a choice and it should've
been an easy one but, this wasn't an easy one, not for me.
 
Lowering my head onto the floor, I made my decision, and my choice was, Igor. I
was going to kill the man that I loved because, if I didn't he would be killed
by his former associates the Death Eaters...

~Inside the Shrieking Shack~
 
Voldemort eyed me with a raised eyebrow and grinned at me for a moment before a
frown appeared on his lips. "Ah, how touching it's the end of the line for my
bride and her coward of a lover." He said to me with fake sadness residing in
his voice, as he pulled out his wand and muttered, "Wingardium Leviosa" and
everyone in the room watched as Igor floated in the air and was floating
towards the center of the table. "Well if that's the case, let's have some fun
with him, shall we?" He chuckled to his followers, who laughed with him, well
expect for Yaxley, who stood next to his blue eyes meeting mine for a moment
before casting his eyes on Igor and then Voldemort spoke again. "Maybe the
Cruciatus Curse might loosen his tongue as to where you've been hiding for over
a year. Let's all take great pleasure in torturing my bride's beloved, shall
we?" He asked out to his followers, who all pulled their wands out, and pointed
them at Igor's floating body, laughing afterwards, all expect for Severus,
Lucius and Yaxley, who were all perfectly fine just standing up and watching
this show.
 
My lip curled up in a snarl, and I once again went after Voldemort, only to be
thrown backwards and landing a few feet away from him.
 
"Yaxley, Greyback make her watch as we torture Igor Karkaroff, the coward then
she will kill him." Voldemort ordered out to the two men.
 
I was soon roughly pulled to my feet by both Yaxley and Greyback and shoved
into an empty chair and being held down by Greyback, causing Yaxley to give him
a glare but, he turned his blue eyes towards the table and he waited for the
punishment to begin.
 
Leaning into my ear, Greyback whispered into it. "Watch all of it poppet and
enjoy it because your coward of a lover is going to die by your hands once this
is all over." Was all he said to me, as he dug his disgustingly long nails into
my scalp and forced my head to look into Igor's sad eyes.
 
"Kayri, ya lyubov' tebya (Kairi, I love you)! Ya lyubov' tebya! Ya lyubov
tebya!" He shouted in Russian before Voldemort him with the first of the
Cruciatus Curse. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this, my love." He cried
out to me in Russian, as his voice turned into screams and his body involuntary
twitched on it's own, possibly from the pain that the Cruciatus Curse was
causing him.
 
"No!" I shouted out to Voldemort, as we met eyes and I cried out to him. "
Please, stop this! I'll kill him, just stop this madness, he doesn't deserve
this!" I shouted out, as tears stung at my eyes.   
 
Yaxley turned his attention away from the torturing of my beloved, he bent down
and said quietly to me. "Annabelle, you don't want to be in his place right
now, you think what Lucius did to you in Diagion Alley was bad, imagine what
five of us could do to you." He said coldly to me, as he laid a hand on my
shoulder before returning his attention back to the torture of my beloved.
Ignoring my pleads to stop, Voldemort shouted out "Crucio!" And once again Igor
let out  screams of pain.
 
One-by-one the Death Eaters took their turns in torturing Igor. My beloved's
torture lasted well into the night and even after I couldn't produce anymore
tears, and my voice grew hoarse from screaming at Voldemort and the others to
stop, I still fought on, even though I was starting to get tired from crying, I
had to stay awake and numb myself so, I could force myself to watch the act of
madness. I had to see this through to the very end, even if I drove myself into
the brink of madness. "Igor Moya lyubov' (my love)." I managed to get out, my
eyes growing very heavy with the desire to crawl somewhere and sleep for a long
time, hoping that this nightmare would end soon.
 
Finally after two hours of torturing, Voldemort shouted out, "enough!" And
every Death Eater stopped what they were doing and stared at their Lord.  
 
Releasing Igor from his spell, Voldemort and the others watched as the former
Death Eater's body fell onto the table with a rather loud "thud". Voldemort
climbed onto the table and kicked Igor in the ribs and knelt down and grabbed
him by his brown hair and dragged towards where I sat, leaning into his ear, he
whispered. "Confess Karkaroff you coward! Where have you been hiding all of
this time? Are you working for the Order? What was your mission?" He whispered
into his ear, loud enough for me to hear.
 
Ignoring Voldemort's questions, he turned his head and looked into my eyes, his
eyes reaching out for mine, he then spoke to him. "Fuck you and go to hell
Voldemort, you bastard!" He muttered out to him, as he pushed his lips together
and spat blood on his face and giving me a smirk, he pulled out a wand and
shouted out. "Diffindo!", which gave Voldemort a large cut on the side of his
cheek, and he used this distraction to his advantage, as he kicked Voldemort in
the ribs, he stood up and smirked at everyone, before turning his head towards
me, we met eyes and he gave me a smile and said his final words. "Good-bye my
love, I love you. They'll here in thirty seconds. Take my thoughts to the
Headmaster's office, they'll tell you everything about me." Was all he managed
to get out before he was hit with the Killing Curse by Voldemort himself, who
laughed as Igor's body crumbled onto the wooden floor.
 
Yanking myself out of Yaxley's and Greyback's grip, I ran towards Igor's body
and I couldn't stop the tears from coming, I tired almost everything to bring
him back to life but, it was no use. There is no such magic that could bring my
love back from the dead.
 
Drying my tears up, I stood up and glared at Voldemort with fire in my eyes, as
I pointed my wand at him. "You bastard! You're going to pay!" I shouted out to
him, and started running towards him but, I was thrown backwards by Bellatrix,
next to Igor's body.
 
Suddenly an alarm went off and before anyone could say a word, the Death Eaters
were surrounded by members of the Order.
 
Stepping forward Sirius gave the Death Eaters a smirk. "Which one of you
assholes touched my cousin, hmm?" He asked out, as he shouted out a Knockback
Jinx at one of the Death Eaters, who was thrown across the room into the crowd
of Voldemort's followers.
 
"Black!" Lucius snarled out, as he pulled out his wand and was about to shoot
the Killing Curse at him but, it was rebounded by my brother, who smirked at
our former father then he spoke to him. "I don't think so Lucius!" as all he
said to him, as the battle between father and son broke out, along with several
others.
 
Crawling towards Igor's body, I was stopped by Greyback, who looked down at me
with a twisted grin on his face. "Oh no poppet you're mine." He said to me, as
he started to reach for me but, was thrown backwards by someone.
 
Turning my head, I saw Lupin standing behind me, a smirk on his face, as he
pocketed his wand and let out a growl. "Oh no Greyback you're mine. We've got a
score to settle, remember you dim witted werewolf?" He growled out to him, as
he bard his teeth at him and let out another growl.
 
Letting out a growl in return, Greyback charged towards him and the two
werewolves started to fight each other, snarling and clawing at each other
while they were fighting.
 
Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head to the side and saw Professor
Snape quickly gather Igor's tears and put them in a rather large vial, before
taking my arm and Igor's body with him, and we Disapparated to an unknown
location...
