~*~*~

Leeta brushed a strand of black hair out of her eyes as she stared at the strange land in front of her. 'Where am I?' The three year old looked around knowing she was lost and that scared her. The ragged looking girl had shoulder length black hair, tear filled ice blue eyes, and pail white skin, wearing a light purple nightgown and slippers that matched. Leeta was standing in the middle of an unknown road in a suburban neighborhood. Looking around she could see trees, and streets, cars, and houses but none of it looked like home. Home with the light blue door and the rose bushed. Home with Mom and Dad.

Leeta walked down the unknown street searching for something that would lead her back to the home that was her own. The little girl came upon a park with a playground and a swing set There were no children on the playground or swing set, but there was one person in the entire park, swinging slightly on one of the 4 swings.

He was a rather tall man, with bright red hair that hung down to cover his face, staring down cast into the sand on the ground like it had offended him in some way. Leeta was about to ask him where she was but as soon as she took a step onto the sand the man looked up sharply slightly startled looking like he had been in deep thought just moments before. The girl gasped and fell backward onto the hard cement of the sidewalk at the sudden movement of the man.

Knowing he had startled the girl, The man walked over to her quickly in a few long strides and offered his hand to help her up. Getting up quickly the girl brushed off her light purple nightgown of any dirt that had gotten on it, then looked up at the red head as he gave her a rather small smile before asking, "Hello Child, What is your name?" in German.

Leeta looked up at the man with big blue eyes and gave him a strange look and said in English, 'I don't know what you are saying... sorry.' The girl turned to go find someone that could speak English but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder, turning around and looking back at the man.

He smirked then said in English this time. 'Hello Girl, what is your name?'

Leeta just looked at him a moment before saying 'Leeta... what is yours?'

Smirking again the red head answered 'Alexander Der'Drache, The Dragon' he winked and then continued, 'And what might you be doing all alone in the middle of the park, Little Leeta? Where are your parents?'

'Don't know.'

'Thats not right. I wonder if she ran away?'

'I wanna go home.' Leeta said sniffling and rubbing at the tears that had slowly started to run down her face. Zero looked at the little girl, and he gave a heavy sigh,'well that nix that idea.'

Leeta looked frightened for an instant, 'I'm lost, I've never seen any of this before. Could you help me find my way home, Mr. Dadashy?'

Alexander winced slightly at the maiming of his name but then gave that small smile of his,'Why don't you just call me Alex or Zero? And yes I will try to help you if I can. Do you know what street you live on or what your house looks like?'

'OK Mr. Zero, well I live in a big white house with a blue door and rose bushes. Ummm.... there are some dogs next door, and I think I live on a street called Raddy or was it Randa...'

Alexander paced a bit as he tried to think if there was a street called that anywhere near here as the girl can't have walked that far. When he came up with nothing he looked at the girl sadly and was about to tell her that he didn't know where that was when Leeta's stomach complained about not being fed. Both looking embarrassed, Leeta looked down at a rock on the sidewalk and Alex looked up at the heavens, when he looked back at the girl he offered, 'Why don't we go to my house and get you something to eat while I call some friends to help us find your house? If you are alright with that?' Smiling bigger at the girl. ' And if that doesn't work then I guess I'll have to take Little Leeta here to the police and see if I can find your mom and dad.'

The girl smiled back ,' OK Mr. Zero.' Alex rolled his eyes heaven ward at what the child had dubbed him, and held out his hand for the child to take, Leeta looked up at him in wonder and weariness then slowly reached her hand out to grasp the older mans outstretched hand. They went down to the street where Alexander Der'Drache's home was located.

The house was rather big for just one person. It was two stories high with a porch and a garden out front. The entire thing was painted in a cream color with a black and gold trim. The porch was held up by four Greek collims, two at the entry way and another two at ether end of the house with a fence that ran in between the two on ether side. The garden had two large oak trees with full, big ,green leaves; a marmalade of beautifully colored flowers and a gate made of low growing bushes inter weaved with Ive vines.

Leeta stared at the house for a full minuet not moving a foot until Alex gently pushed the small girl towards the three steps of the porch and up to the cream colored door with a golden vine-like handle. 'Don't be afraid, Little Leeta.' Zero said with a smile at the hesitant girl.

'I'm not afraid!' she said the the red haired man, he just smiled bigger and reached over Leeta's jet black head of hair to unlock the golden handle with a matching golden key, opening up the door to the world beyond.

~*~*~

'That was also the first week of September... the week I met Zero...' My Dad. Speaking out loud to the small dragon on her side bag, smiling faintly at the memory. Leeta's musings were shattered as her name was called from a cross the platform.

'Leeta Der'Drache?' A dark, moody looking man asked quizzically as he approached a tall girl with black hair and grass-green bangs on the platform of Hogsmead Station. Leeta had pale-as-the-moon skin that contrasted her dark hair and black eyes. The clothing she had on was a pair of leather pants that where tucked into a pair of tall boots, and a one-strap black shirt with green lacing up the sides that showed off her figure. She had fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows and black nails that glinted in the soft light of twilight. A black lace choker with a green tear shaped gem that matched her hair hung about her neck. She also had a piercing in the middle of her bottom lip that glinted in the light. And lastly a silver crescent shaped moon tattoo on her bare shoulder just under the collarbone, which was shocking given her age of 15 years.

When the girl turned around fully to face the Potions Master he saw that she had a small green dragon curled around her bag in her hands. The dragon had no limbs other then his two wings and looked almost like a serpent. The dark man would have thought that the dragon was not real till it lifted its head to see what was going on to make his human move so suddenly. The movement of said dragon was just so slight that the people around them would not have notices a thing.

Looking her over once, Severus Snape glared disapprovingly at the girls skimpy attire as she also looked up at him with a "you-look-boring-as-hell" look in her own black eyes. The potions master was wearing a black button down shirt, and black dress pants all under a black teaching robes. His greasy hair was pulled back into a tail with the front parts hanging down creating a curtain around his face.

Shrugging Leeta "I had better make this fun... I wounder how long it will take to piss him off..." and said to the man, 'OK so you know me, now who are you, Tall ,Dark And Gloomy?' Smirking at the raised eyebrow and the glare that she got from the statement Leeta waited expectantly for the man to reply.

'I would be one of your new professors, Severus Snape, and I am here to take you to Hogwarts. There you will be sorted into a house and then, hopefully, you'll be out of my hair.'

'Sir, I don't want to be anywhere near your hair. Now if you will lead the way, I am sure we will both be pleased.' Leeta smirked evilly at the glaring " Well that didn't take long", pissed off man that looked like he wanted to smack that smirk off the girls face.

'As long as you keep that lizard in your hair away from me, we'll be just fine.' Snape giving an equally evil smirk.

'That "Lizard" that you so dubbed him, is on my bag, not in my hair. Although I could have him set yours aflame. I'm sure it would catch nicely. ' 'Not that he could breath flame, he's not that type of dragon. But it's not like This Dumb-Ass would know that.'

Muttering to himself Snape said, ' I'd like to see you try.' Then louder so Leeta could hear him clearly, 'You may be special to Dumbledor but you're of no more importance to me than potter. So I'd keep an eye out if I were you.

' Oh I'm shaking! I shall just go hide away every time you are near...' Leeta pretending to be afraid then suddenly stands up strait and tall, 'But I'd rather kick your ass if you try a damned thing'

'That would be most unfortunate if you manged to indeed "kick my ass." It would also be most unfortunate if my hand slipped and I accidentally gave you some Veritaserum in your morning drink.' Snape smirked evilly think he has got the rather dark looking girl.

Leeta hummed momentary amused, thinking how badly that would go over with her father and how pissed he would be that someone would even try to do that. Not that, that would even work as Leeta had been building up an immunity to several potions from her schooling at Durmstrang, 'Oh really, and what would that get you?'

'One more student out of the castle that I loath also the satisfaction of seeing you run out of the great hall crying as all your darkest secrets are drawn into the light.'

'Right.... I don't think that truth serum is going to do that...I mean what is the worst that could happen. I tell every one that I'm gay? I already plan on do that so what else could there be. Oh I know, that my father is the new Professor? I'm sure that they will find that out soon enough. Sorry Sir, but I don't plan on having any Lager secrets.'

The Slytherin lowered his voice as he threatened,' You may have everyone else fooled. But I know what you're really up to.' Tuning with out a word he walked away.

' What the hell is he taking about....' she murmured then said louder, 'Bloody git!' as she followed said git to god only knows where.

Snape let out a growl of frustration promising to himself that when she has a house to give her detentions for a month and 100-no- 1000 points taken away. He led the girl up the dirt road from Hogsmead to Hogwarts all the while grudgingly telling her what to expect as they rarely got transfer students. He would have told her nothing but Dumbledor had asked him to prepare her. As they came upon the school Leeta took an intake of breath at the beautiful sight before her.

The castle was glowing slightly with a friendly light that reflected off the black lake making waves on the surface that blended in with the reflection of the half full moon. The sky had just a few clouds that marred the stars. As they past the stone bores at the gate of the school Leeta just had to make one more jibe at the professor, ' professor greasy why do they have statues of your parents at the gate? Keep kids away perhaps?' Snape turned sharply almost knocking Leeta down and raised his hand to hit her but stopped, with his hand still in the air he growled turned quick as lightning and punched the ground. Leeta slightly wide eyed, as she had fully expected him to follow thew and hit her, looked at the Potions Master before going to the ground herself, looking him dead in the eye and said with feeling, ' I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. I didn't mean it to hurt you so.'

Snape looked up at the girl as she stood with shock in his eyes before putting back on his mask and sneering at the girl then stood before saying nastily. 'I trust you can find your way back up to the castle? Even though you can't find your way home. I'll see you after the sorting Miss Der'Drache.' Standing he diapered into the dark forest. As she approached Leeta looked at the main entrance to Hogwarts which was a set of huge oak doors with detailed carvings of a snake, a lion, a badger, and an eagle. From the outside it looked like Hogwarts had about 7 floors plus the 4 towers that faced every main direction.

Opening the door, Leeta walked into the main hall where Dumbledor and McGonagall were waiting for them. Frowning McGonagall asked, 'Where is Professor Snape? He was suppose to be with you and tell you what to expect... and why aren't you wearing your uniform?'

'He told me, so I am to be Sorted after the first years in the great hall, I will stand in the back till you,' she nodded to Dumbledor,' make the announcement about me then I will go to the hat and be Sorted. And I don't have a uniform as of yet as it needs to be owled to me from... thats shopping place, what is it called.... oh yes Diagon Ally. Now is that all?'

Dumbledor smiled kindly, 'Yes just about it, there is one more thing, when you are Sorted you will be sharing a room with 1 or more people depending on the house you get. Now your house is like your family-'

' We fight a lot?' That earned Der'Drache a glare from McGonagall for interrupting so rudely but Dumbledor just kept smiling and there was an annoying twinkle in his eye.

'No thats not quit it Leeta , my dear girl, no you will rely on one another as if you're brother and sister.'

' So ya, fight till were blue in the face then go tell the head of house that the other one is "being mean". Leeta said with a sweet smile on her face that managed to get a laugh out of Dumbledor but McGonagall just look sternly at her. 'Now for real, OK yes I know what it means and I will follow it to the best possible. Now let us go to the fest and wait for the first years to show up, I still don't know why you wanted me separate form everyone else.'

'Leeta, now it wouldn't be a surprise if you were on the train with everyone now would it?'

'No Headmaster it wouldn't. But I am SO going on it next year.' Leeta smiled determinedly as she and the headmaster walked to the great hall while McGonagall stayed to great the first years. Leeta quickly and quietly moved to the back so no-one would notice her as she looked around the great hall at all the chattering students.

Right in font of her was the vary red Gryffindor table, just to the right of that by the wall was the Hufflepuff table. On the other side of the Gryffindor table was the Slytherin table which some of the students were arguing with some at the Gryffindor side. Just to the left of Slytherin was Ravenclaw were almost half of them were reading or had books right next to them, but one of them was staring right at her. A bit unnerved at the blond girl with her wand tucked behind her ear, raising her eyebrow at the wand Leeta looked away for a moment trying to listen to what the Slytherins and Gryffindors were fighting about, '...What Weasel? To scared to have a real fight?'

' Ron, No! You're not going to fight on school grounds, its ageist the rules!'

'Stop it, Ron, Hermione.' A jet haired boy disrupted them as he wiped blood off his face, he sat down, turning to face the 3 of them he continued, ' We don't have time for this, and Malfoy, Sod off!'

Malfoy sneered at the boy, but turned back to his own group. Leeta looked away from the mini argument only to find that the blond girl was still staring at her. She hoped that the girl wouldn't attract attention to her as that was the last thing she needed right now.

The blond girl finally looked away when the first years came in to be sorted but not before a few Griffins were looking too. The Gryffindors were the same three that were fighting with the Slytherins; a red head boy with lots a freckles Ron he was called, a girl with bushy dull brown hair that was glaring at her, Hermione, and another boy with shocking green eye and that famous scar, Harry Potter. Leeta's staring contest with the three Gryffindors was interrupted by Dumbledor standing up and calling a tension to himself after the first years had been sorted into there respected houses. In the end there were 6 in Gryffindor, 4 in Hufflepuff, 5 in Ravenclaw, and 4 in Slytherin.

When the last student sat down at his table, Dumbledor stood to speak. 'Hello my dear students, welcome back to Hogwarts, but before we talk about the rules we have one more student to sort. Now as rare as it is, we do get some transfer students. Would Miss Leeta Der'Drache please come up to the sorting hat?'

Leeta walked right down the center of the great hall right in between Slytherin and Gryffindor getting suspicious glares from both sides, where as some of the younger students look on with curiosity. Nodding to all the teachers but Snape, he had entered just before the first years entered, Leeta took a seat on the small stool and McGonagall placed the rather old hat atop her head.

'HMMM... I see knowledge here yes...cunning as well, I also see you were lost... you're vary brave as well...hummmm... I see you have a mission... one you intend to achieve no matter what you need to do.... but you are kind as well... but a sharp edge...vary guile...there's power here...and control.. where oh where to put you... I am going to have to say... SLYTHERIN!!'

'Leeta, my girl, if would would stay here for a moment, Welcome to another year at Hogwarts...' Rolling her eye, Leeta tuned out the old coot as he continued hit speech, to bemused with her own thoughts to bother, but she looked up as the Headmaster started to finish. '… So if you'll please all make Miss Der'Drache feel at home here at Hogwarts, I'm sure this year will be a successful one for everyone' Dumbledor finished, then pointed the Slytherin table out to Leeta among the scattered applause, as if she didn't already know, and sat down himself and let the other teachers make their own announcements if they had any.

As the dark looking girl sat in the middle of the table across the table from the blond boy that was fighting with the lions, he said with a most arrogant voice, 'I'm Draco Malfoy,' as if it meant something then pointed rudely at a girl to his left, 'this is Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini, ' then to his right, ' Vincent Crabbe ,Gregory Goyle, and Theodore Nott.'

Leeta nodded her head at each of them as there names were said, then introduced her self. ' I'm Leeta Der'Drache, pleased to meet you.'

' Why aren't you wearing school robes?' Goyle blurted out.

' They're late. They were going to be at my home this afternoon but Dumbledor wanted me here so I only had time to Floo My tailer to tell him where to send it. They should be here by tomorrow morning. Boy, do I feel bad for the owl, it will take him all night to get here from Germany.' 'I'll just steal some bacon from someone and give it to the bird. ' Leeta added the last part in her mind as she felt someone was staring at her from behind her.

Leeta looked behind her and found it was the same odd blond girl from before her eyes slightly glazed over she asked with her head tilting slightly to the right, ' Why do you have a dragon on your bag?'

Leeta flinched, she had forgotten to put Ouroborus back in the bag before going in the school. She had no time to answer the question as the Headmaster had stood up again and was calling attention by lifting his hand. Then smiling that knowing smile he said, 'I wish to start off the year by singing the school song, now stand up and sing the words with me in any tune you wish.' He flicks out a ribbon that floats in the air, creating the words for the students to sing along with, each singing to the tune of their choice. The rest of the staff didn't appear to share Dumbledore's delight in this little ritual, but he conducts the singing with gusto and even gets a bit misty at the end of it.

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

Leeta was a bit shocked at the song but tried to sing anyway to the tune of one of her favorite songs ,The World Falls Down by David Bowie, even though it was a bit hard to do. As the school waited for the ones that chose slower songs to finish up Dumbledor grind like this was the greatest day he has had in a long while and Leeta, McGonagall and the new teacher all knew why.

When the singing stopped Dumbledor continued with his speech, ' Now I would like to introduce our new teachers this year. First is a good friend of mine, Professor Alexander-' Dumbledor stopped mid introduction to find Alexander sleeping with his head down on his plate and the hood of his Dark red cloak up over his head to keep out the light and keeping any of the students from seeing his face. You could practically see the Z's coming from his head, Leeta gave the headmaster a knowing look, shaking his head with a sigh Dumbledor continued on with is speech as if the said teacher wasn't asleep. '-will be taking over for Hagrid while he is on his honey moon with Madam Maxime.' Dumbledor winked at the gryffindors that had been at the wedding over the summer.

' As for your New Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year will be Professor Snape-' There was an outburst of sound as some of the students clapped but most of the students complained at the prospect, but Dumbledor silenced them again with a wave of his hand and they all calmed down to hear what he had to say as he continued as if there had been no complaining just moments before. 'I believe that Snape will make an excellent professor for you. Now as for your new Potions Professor I have ask back another old friend and colleague, Professor Horace E. F. Slughorn to teach again. Professor Slughorn?'

'Yes, Thank you Albus.' A rather old short man stood up as Dumbledor sat down, Slughorn had a shining bald head, prominent eyes, large belly, enormous silvery walrus-like mustache.

He was wearing a button-down cream shirt with a green waistcoat that had golden buttons and a pocket watch and tan pants. 'Some say that I have an "uncanny" knack for picking and mentoring students who will make their mark on the Wizarding world; I will also be starting a club for those such wizards called the Slug Club. I will be sending out invitations after the first week for those invited to this marvelous club. Thank you for the introduction Professor, now that I've made my announcements shall the feast begin?'

Dumbledor casts a pointed glance at him 'Right you are Professor,' Dumbledor empisied, reminding Slughorn that HE was the Headmaster, 'the students have had a long trip. So without further ado let the feast begin.' As Dumbledor claps hands food appears on every table.

Leeta then see that Luna is still standing there 'It was nice meeting you and your dragon.' Luna turns to walk away mumbling to herself, 'I hope there's pudding.'

'What an odd girl...' Leeta says out loud then asks the group of Slytherins, 'Who was that?'

Draco sneered, ' That would be "Loony Lovegood" a Ravenclaw 5th year.'

Leeta's voice was full of sarcasm as she said to Draco 'Her names really loony? I would have thought her name to be something like She-Who-Must-Be-Creepy.'

'HA, thats a good one!' Nott laughed.

' How would I call a House elf?' Leeta asked after every one had calmed down, before any could answer her a House Elf popped up.

' What can Dobby get you?'

Getting up to kneel down in front of ...Dobby... Leeta Whispered in to his hear. 'Could you and your house elf friends do me a huge favor?' Dobby nodded enthusiastically at the mere thought of helping the new girl find something special. ' Good, Now I am having a friend send me a muggle drink called "Red Bull", could you please have it for me at every meal except Breakfast?'

' Dobby will be happy to Miss.'

' Thank you Dobby, I will have a Friend send me some tomorrow just after breakfast.' 'He's not a morning person, reminds me of a certain someone.' She quickly glanced at the professor that was still sleeping at the Head table.

' Of course Miss.' Dobby popped away as the girl went back to her dinner.

~8~

The fest was good, and Leeta made fast friends with the small group of Slytherins. As they left the hall Leeta put her arms around Pansy and Draco and said in a teasing voice, ' Now which one of you sexy ladies will I be "sleeping with"?' as she winks at Draco the group burst with laughter as Draco shoved her arm off him giving her a sneer.

Still giggling Pansy said, ' You will be rooming with me as I'm the only girl in our year that doesn't have a roommate, your stuff is already there I suspect ... well except your bag that you wont put down. What is in it thats so important that you can't even put it down for dinner?' she asked as the rest of the group looked on with curiosity as well as some other Slytherins that were trying, and failing, to be discreet while eavesdropping.

Leeta sighed, ' I need to tell at least Pansy as she will be rooming with me, and I know she will tell the others so might as well tell them all. God I hate being the new kid' ' I will tell you when we get to the common room, hey Pansy is it alright if we use our room? I think I will be easier that way...'

'Sure we can...'

'OK thanks.'

So the group made there way down to the Slytherin dorms, as they reached the portrait a Prefect finely caught up with them and grabbed Leeta's arm to stop her from going in. The others glared that the Prefect and Draco walked right up to him, 'What do you need with the new girl, Pucey?'

Adrian Pucey was a year older then the group in front of him and he was also on the Quidditch team as a Chaser. He had short dark brown hair and a sharp jaw. He was quite hansom and tall as he spoke his voice was soft but strong. ' I need to take Der'Drache to the Headmaster's Office.'

'Why?' It was Pansy that asked this with a look of confusion on her face.

'Don't worry Parkinson, Its nothing bad, he just needs to talk to her about her classes... and something about Professor Snape, I don't know what though.'

Leeta rolled her eyes at the Slytherins. ' Thats OK I know what he's talking about, I pissed Snape off before I was sorted. And before you ask, No, I will not tell you.' She glared at Draco as he was about to say something then turned back to Pucey, ' Tell the Headmaster that I will see him in the morning before breakfast to speak to him. And also tell him that I will talk with Snape on my own, we are not children.' Everyone just stood there shocked that this new girl would be so rude to the Headmaster. Getting a bit irritated Leeta glared at the Prefect. ' Well? What are you waiting for? Me to take you by the hand and drag you there? GO!' Startled out of his stupor Adrian took off like a light. 'Now that that's done with shall we?' Leeta didn't wait for the others and just walked into the Common Room of Slytherin house muttering under her breath about "old men that can't keep their nose out of her bizzzzz."

When she entered, Leeta stopped dead in her tracks and stared at the sight before her. The Slytherin Common room was beautiful. It was large and spacious,done in Dark greens and black with highlights of silver. Leeta walked up 4 short steps up to a shelf that held steps on ether side of the ones she just took. Going forward there were more steps that went from wall to wall, leading up to where 2 long black leather couches and a love seat that match incompetence a long dark wood table. On said table where 2 silver skulls that held 2 equally silver candles giving off a soft glow from the little flames. A short distance away were 2 chairs and another love seat facing a fireplace. Right next to the fireplace was a desk made of the same dark wood as the table,and another behind the couches. Just beyond the couches was a large round table with 8 chairs done in the same dark wood and leather as everything else in the room.

Leeta's eyes widened as she looked just beyond the round table, There, from the ceiling to the floor, stood 3 large walls of water held back by what look like glass. They were under the black lake! And it was beautiful, the water moved and reflected light from the moon, highlighting the dark waters with faint green shimmers. Leeta couldn't wait to see what it looked like in the morning. In between the alcoves of water were shelves that held books, more silver skulls, and with a mirror above it. Chairs were set about in sets of 3 in each alcove of water for students to talk or read.

Turning to the left there was a large green velvet curtain that went from wall to wall, and ceiling to floor. Curious Leeta started walking towards it but was stopped by a grinning Pansy, ' You'll see it a little later, come on lets go to our room, so we can talk while you settle in.' With her hand on Leeta's arm Pansy led the small group up the steps just to the right of the way they entered, then a few sharp turns later, led them down a narrow hall and to the 4th door on the left.

Pansy pushed Leeta into the room and motioned for the boys to come in, and take a seat. The room was rather large, about a 14'x18' room with 2 full sized beds done in green with silver almost-see-through curtains, a table with 4 chairs that looked like a mini version of the one that they saw back in the common room, 2 desks, 2 wardrobes. There was a door that led to the bathroom, on the other side of the room. Leeta's stuff was next to the bed closest to the door, which happened to be the one that Draco and Blaise chose to sit on, where as Nott and Pansy sat on her bed, and Vincent and Gregory sat at the table.

Sighing, Leeta walked the short distance what was obviously her bed, gently placed her bag on the chest, as Ouroborus had gone inside it sometime during the feast, then turned to the two boys on it, without saying a word she pointed to the other 2 chairs next to Vincent and Gregory. Blaise got up right away and walked over to take a seat, while Draco and Leeta had a staring contest. It had been a good minuet or so when Pansy got up, grabbed Draco by the ear and dragged him over to her bed as he complained all the way.

Shaking her head, Leeta grabbed the bag again and placed it on the bed beside her, once she was settled she looked at each and every one in the eye for a few seconds as if searching for something. When she looked away from Vincent's eyes, as he had been the last, she smiled kindly. ' I wish to show you all something, but I NEED a vow of silence before I do... Do you consent?'

Pansy started first with almost no hesitation, 'I Consent.' there was a subtle shift in the air, as magic moved about and circled her.

Blaise was next, fallowing her lead, ' I Consent.'

Vincent and Gregory exchanged a look then said in unison, "I Consent." The magic was almost tangible at this point as everyone look at Draco expectantly.

You could tell by the look on his face that he was thinking hard, trying to find out how badly this could backfire on him. After a long pause he finally looked up, locked eyes with Leeta, and said in a whisper so soft that almost no-one heard. 'I Consent.' The magic was almost violent as it flashed blue, white, and silver; surrounding everyone yet again, binding everyone to the vow of silence.

Leeta let out a breath of relief, then smiled brightly and reached into her bag and brought out Robbie, holding him up, ' This is my Dragon, pet, best friend, and protector; Ouroborus, Robbie for short. He can change sizes and is always with me whether nor not you can see him.' Leeta let him go as he wound around her upper arm. Reaching back into her bag, she drew out a crystal and promptly hung it over her ear, letting it dangle just in front of the dragon, smiling as he swatted at it with his tail. 'That one's his favorite.'

Leeta reached back in her bag, her eyes dulled, looking like she was far away as she grabbed at something in her bag. Slowly nodding, she moved her hand around in the bag pulling out a dagger and set it on the bed in front of her. ' That is my dagger, and I will use it on anyone that means me true harm. That includes all of you, and even my own father. So Please remember that you are all Slytherin, and don't piss me off, believe me you won't even see it coming.' As an example, Leeta had it at Draco's throat before he could even blink. Draco's Adams apple bobbed as he swallowed thickly, nicking his throat at the slight movement, showing everyone just how sharp that dagger really was.

Leeta released Draco from the dagger and reached up, barely touching the nick on his neck, instantly healed it. She smiled again and said in a sickly sweet voice,' Please don't underestimate me, I am most likely the most powerful student in the castle.' there was a short pause as Leeta put the dagger back in her bag, letting the information and threats sink in to each and every brain. ' I told all this to you for your own protection, because I would like your friendship and trust. Not to be betrayed but I don't have enough information on any of you in order to tell if you would do such a thing. Robbie and the dagger are not the only things that I hide, but I will not tell you about them. If you find out on your own, ask me about it, I will not lie to you. I never will. hummm... now that that's done, on to the nicer things.'

Leeta ended the Vow and smiled brightly at them each in turn, seeing how they each reacted to the information. Starting to the left of her, Leeta looked into Draco's eyes again; he looked impressed and a little scared at the small show of power. Theodor was next; he showed now outward sign but his eyes kept looking back at her bag, making sure that she didn't go for it at any moment, showing that he was nervous around her even a little scared.. Pansy looked down right giddy at the information, making Leeta raise an eyebrow at her but she moved on. Blaise looked just as impressed as Draco did, with no sign of fear or nervousness. Crabbe and Goyle, who both looked nervously from her to Draco to each other as if expecting a fight to break out. At this she had to look back at Draco, who was the leader of the group, and raised an eyebrow at him then said to the two boys at the table, ' I'm not about to take over as leader, so you can get that thought out of your head right now. Now lets have some fun and play a game so I can learn more about each of you, and you can learn the fun stuff about me.'

Gregory let out a breath that he had unknowingly been holding, while Vincent wiped sweat off his brow that had gathered, while Pansy asked humorously, ' So what game do you have in mind?'

'Truth or Dare.'

Frowning Nott said, ' But that's a children's game.'

Leeta snorted, ' Then you haven't been playing right.'

'Fine then who should start this game?' Pansy interfered before it could turn into a fight.

' How about you, Oh so fearless Leader?' Leeta said in a mocking voice over to Draco as she made the boys at the table move so she could move it to the side, giving them enough room to play, as Pansy set up a truth barrier around the spot Leeta was clearing.

Draco sneered at the name but plopped down near where Leeta had cleared just moments before, ' Fine, Leeta. Truth or dare?'

Leeta rolled her and sat down to his right, Pansy to her right, Theodor next to her, then Blaise a cross from her, with Vincent then Goyle next to Draco. ' Lets start easy, so truth.'

'How far have you gone?'

Leeta snorted slightly, 'Thats the best you can come up with? Fine, boy or girl?'

Draco raised a perfect blond eyebrow, 'Both.'

'Boy: 3rd base. Girl: all the way.' Looking around the room for her first victem, Leeta chose Blaise. ' Blaze, Truth or dare?'

Blaise twitched, 'My name is not "Blaze" its Blaise.'

' I know. OK Blaze which one.'

He twitched again but determined to get this over with he decided to ignore it for now, so grinning he said in a proud voice, ' Dare!'

The girls rolled their eyes and thought at the same time 'Boys...' ' Alright,' Leeta grinned almost evilly, ' I dare you to go out into the common room, scratching your crotch and say, "Damn, these crabs really itch!"'

Blaise looked absolutely gob smacked for about a good 10 seconds, then to everyones surprise, he got up, walked to the door, opening it with a flourish, and walked determinedly to the Common room. Scrambling to get up, everyone fallowed the doomed boy to see how the others would react to the dare. Soon after he entered the room, Blaise twitched again, then scratched his crotch saying loudly to make sure that everyone could hear him, ' Damn, these crabs really itch!' Then tuning to go , or hide the evil smirk growing on his face, continued to speak just as loudly, 'Draco's so going to pay for this!' leaving behind a every wide-eyed speachless common room, walked back to the group that was trying, and failing, to hide their laughter from a very pissed Draco who looked like he was going to kill a certain black boy. When they all made it back to the girls' dorm Draco promptly tackled Blaise to the floor and everyone lost it, holding their sides from laughing so hard. When they calmed down a bit, Vincent and Goyle pulled Draco off of Blaise before he could do any harm, Blaise grinned and said, 'I guess its my turn now, hummm... Vincent!'

Vincent who had been helping Draco up, jumped so bad that he dropped him, spun around, tripped and fell just short from squishing Draco. 'Yeah?' he asked dumbly from the floor.

'Truth or dare?'

'uuhh... Dare?'

That same evil grin from earlier spread across Blaise's face, ' I dare you to let the girls paint your toes, and you can't put your shoes back on 'till the game is done.'

Vincent reluctantly removed his shoes and socks, while the girls were in the corner whispering, then they turned as one to look at Vincent, making him jump again. The girls leaved two wands at each of Crabbe's feet and spelled his toenails Gryffindor red and gold. Finished, Crabbe turned to Draco and asked, ' Draco, Truth or dare.'

'Dare.'

' I Dare you to lick whip cream off of a girls stomach.'

' Which girl?'

'Umm... the new one.'

' Leeta, take off your shirt and lay down. Dobby!' Leeta shrugged and did as Draco ordered as Dobby 'Popped' into the room. ' Dobby, go get us some whip Cream from the kitchen, also some fruit and drinks.'

'Yes Sir.' The Slytherins didn't have to wait long for Dobby to return with one other House Elf holding a bowl of Whip Cream, one of sliced fruit and whole strawberries, and a Butterbeer for each of them. Draco grabbed the bowl of Whip Cream as the House elves past out the Butterbeer, and placed the bowl of fruit in the center of the circle.

Before the elves could even ask, Draco said, ' That will be all. If we need more we'll tell you.'

' Yes Sir.' The elves said in unison and bowed before 'popping' away.

Leeta had not moved an inch since laying down in only her black strapless bra, the slightest flush on her cheeks was the only indication that she was embarrassed. Draco tapped her legs to spread them so he could kneel in between, swirling his finger in the Whip Cream he began to make a small artwork her stomach. When he finished, the blond placed the cream next to the fruit then leaned down, gently grabbing her sides, slowly licked the cream off of Leeta's flat stomach, making said girl shiver at the sensation. Pleased with this reaction Draco licked and nipped at the cream covered skin till all the cream was gone. Sitting up he looked around and saw that everyone had at least a small blush or, in Vincent's case, a Weasley red. Smirking in said boys direction, Draco looked down at Leeta and noticed that even as she tried to hide behind her green bangs, he saw that the blush grew and her breath had quickened, Draco's smirk grew.

Draco got up and moved so Leeta could sit up and put on her shirt,and looked around the room then landed on Gregory's thick frame. ' Goyle, Truth or dare?'

'Truth'

'Tell everyone who you like.'

Not even batting a eyelash Gregory answered, ' Millicent.' There was a short silence as everyone, except Leeta, was surprised at how fast he answered that.

Breaking the silence Theodor's whisper was loud enough that everyone heard, ' I knew it.'

Pansy punched him in the arm, ' No, you didn't!' That made everyone laugh.

' So, Pansy, Truth or dare?' Greg asked after everyone calmed down.

'pft! What do you take me for, a Hufflepuff? Dare!'

'I dare you to kiss Leeta, with tongue for 2 minuets.'

At this Leeta Glared at him and hiss, ' Leave me the hell alone with all this shit.'

Goyle chuckled, ' Not a chance. You're the new thing to play with, and you expect to sit on the shelf? Pft, thats no fun.'

Leeta pouted and folded her arms over her chest like a two year old then squeaked as she felt arms wrap around her middle. Pansy grabbed Leeta's chin and moved it towards her, giving everyone a perfect view of the kiss. Somehow Pansy had opened Leeta's mouth and inserted her tongue into its dark depths making Leeta moan into the embrace. By the time the kiss was done, Leeta had a dark red blush, and was panting heavily, whereas Parkinson had a pink blush, and was breathing quickly. When Parkinson had her breath back, she look at Leeta and said, ' well that was nice, now truth or dare?'

' Oh you are all horrible, truth!'

' What are you?'

' What do you mean?'

' I mean you aren't human. Or at least not wholly so, I noticed when we were kissing, I think I felt a fang. So I ask again, what are you?'

Smirking she had hoped that they would ask this, Leeta reached into her eye's and pulled out the contacts that made her eyes black, looking back at them with Glowing green eyes and removed the light glamor she had on, reviling tapered ears, sharp nails, and a pair of small fangs. ' My dad is half Dragon, so that makes me part dragon as well. That's why I look like this, Most of it can be covered with a glamor, but it won't work on my hair and eyes. So the contacts for the eyes, and I leave my hair a lone, when Muggles ask about it I just say that it's dyed.' when she was finished she replaced everything but the contacts. ' So Theo, Truth or dare?'

' Truth.' The game went on like that for a few hours till it was 2 in the morning and they had school at 9, so the boys went to their own dorms while Pansy and Leeta settled down in their respected beds. Dreding the dawn that was to be up in less then 4 hours.

Urasi! - Dragon-cat.

Leeta walked into Snape's class room for detention, sat in a desk not far from a round, short Gryffindor girl. Once they were both seated, Snape swept into the room like a vampire stalking its pray and set two parchments in front of each girls then left the room to fetch the rest of their detention supplies. They were to write lines, then gut some worms for potions tomorrow.

' So, what did you get?' the Gryffindor asked.

' " I will respect any and all professors, even if they are not my own."' Leeta quoted, ' And you?'

' " It is generally accepted that cats and dragons can NOT interbreed." ' The Girl read out loud.
