"Wait, what?! You are telling me Dumbledore let one of them into our school? To stay with the other students and to take my class?"
"Yes. She is. Dumbledore says she is good, different than the others we have encountered," she shuddered, "you will treat her as you would any other student but with even more understanding and caution. Understand?"
"I will, sorry I overreacted."
"It will be fine. I did the same thing as you when Dumbledore told me what he was considering accepting her. Beauxbatons refused her. He wanted me to commit to mentoring and helping her."
"Okay. You have my permission but, I don't want you with her alone," at her skeptical look, 'At least at first, please? For my sanity and peace of mind that my wife isn't going to be attacked?"
"Okay, Draco. You can be there when I meet her."
Draco smiled as he leaned down and gave her a light kiss that she captured and deepened.
Sandy looked at the train with unvoiced fears clawing at the insides of her stomach. She looked back at her parents and they gave her a nod of encouragement. They had confided in her that they were worried about the other children's reaction to her but that they were confident that she was ready and would not slip up.
She saw her cousin, Chloe Cobalt's lavender tinted face lit up at the sight of Sandy and she threw her arms around her.
"You're freezing!" Chloe stated with a bright smile and gave a shudder.
Sandy just laughed and replied, "Yeah, well that's sorta part of being one of the undead."
