The shadowed figure pulled the hood farther up, casting a shadow over her face. She shivered slightly at the biting cold of the rain that soaked her to the bone. Cursing she continued towards the castle now looming in the distance. Soon, she thought, soon she would see her Dragon and Phoenix.

She glanced over at her companion. He nodded and hissed reassurances to her in Parsaltongue. She smirked and replied.

" Wanna race?" she hissed playfully in Parseltongue. Before he could reply she took off. Soon, she reassured her self, she would see them. She would protect them.

Harry sat down at the Gryffindor table glaring at Malfoy. Malfoy caught the brunette's gaze and returned the look, assuring the other that the feeling was mutual. Turning away at the same time, the two looked over the teachers table scanning to see who the new Dark Arts teacher would be this time. Hermione sat down next to Harry and glanced between him and the blond. They were alike in many ways she mussed.

Suddenly the Headmaster stood causing the whole hall the quiet.

"Welcome students…"started Dumbledore.

At that the doors swung open revealing two cloaked figures. One was in white the other in black. The two were sopping wet causing the cloaks to stick to their bodies like a second skin. The shorter figure, the one dressed in black, stepped slowly forward. The headmaster smiled.

"Welcome Ms. Slytherin, Mr. Slytherin. I'm glad you could join…" Said Dumbledore. The black figure cut him off.

"We are not here for that." She said quietly her voice lined with a dangerous tone. " I am here for my Dragon and Phoenix alone."

The hall started whispering, but once again were silenced when they noticed two others stand up. The black figure smirked and slowly withdrew her hood revealing her long black hair braided back into a tight ponytail. An amused glint glimmered in her bright green eyes.

"Hello Draco. Hello Harry." She addressed them. They nodded to her in greeting to before they turned stare at each other, the same question on both their tongues.
