Chapter Two: Revenge is Sweet
-x-x-x-
Kagome was keeping her distance from Narcissa when she could, being sure that her eyes followed the duo hair colored chit wherever she may be. She found herself sitting in the library with Lucius; reading up on a Potions Assignment with her newly cut hair tickling her chin.
"Kagome, I know I probably shouldn't be saying anything, but your hair cut suits you."
"...how kind, I'm sure whatever I choose to do to Narcissa, will suit her well enough too."
"So you are planning something," He pulled out a little black book and Kagome chanced a glance. It was blank for the most part; though, there were names and such on the first and second page, she couldn't read much else.
"What's that, Lucius?"
"Nothing really, just a bet going on...I've got my money on Narcissa, of course, but Bella seems positive that you will have victory over her little sister."
"...Hm...can people change their bets?"
"No, once they are made, they are final."
"Too bad, I hope you didn't put too much down on Narcissa, wouldn't want you going bankrupt."
"Impossible, the Malfoy fortune runs circles around Gringotts,"
"I see," She glared at the book in front of her, "Why the bloody hell are we bothering with an essay on a Wit Sharpening Potion when we aren't going to make it this year anyways! Professor Slughorn is bonkers if he thinks anyone will be able to write an accurate essay on the potion, its ingredients and its effects, both good and bad!"
"His job is to prepare us for future lessons,"
"That's true, but starting with the basics!" She seethed mentally, "No one's going to be able to tell Nettle grass from a Valerian shrubs with his off spot teaching skills,"
"How far have you gotten on the essay?"
"Finished it,"
Lucius frowned, "Then what does it matter if it's not being taught this year or if the students won't know how to best describe the potion? You finished it, right?"
"That doesn't matter! If I wanted some half-arsed learning experience, I would have gone to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic!"
Lucius smirked, "I've heard there exceptional,"
"...this conversation has become droning, I'm going to turn in my work, and get some potion's practice in before Transfiguration, good luck with your gambling." She stood and put the book she'd been using back up on the shelf, walking out of the Library as Narcissa entered; Kagome met her eyes and smirked, "Hope you are doing well, Narcissa..." She left down the hall before the girl could utter a response and made her way down stairs to the Potions Dungeon. Professor Slughorn sat at his desk quietly, reading the daily prophet when Kagome entered and placed the essay in front of him. "Why are we studying this potion right now? Do you plan on us making it?"
"...Not at all, it was merely to a test for me to pluck out the special students from the average students,"
"Right...I guess that's fine, no matter of mine." Kagome was still annoyed however, "Um, Professor, if I may, could I please use your room for some quiet studying?"
"If you so desire,"
"Yes sir," Kagome grinned brightly as she pulled out a copy of Advanced Potion Making. Making sure he couldn't see the book, as she pulled out a journal and started writing.
"I will be back, Miss Higurashi, continue with what you are doing, but be sure not to miss your next class."
"Yes sir, thank you!" She watched him leave before flipping through the pages and turning to the ingredients room. Reading over certain ingredients, Kagome couldn't stop smiling. "...I'll need a vessel...but first...I want to make sure I'm prepared..." Grabbing certain items off the shelf, she made sure to grab a good amount incase she messed up before bagging them, and leaving the room; she headed off to do some investigating among the student ranks with the ingredients neatly stored in her bag.

Watching guys pass her table or sit down at other tables, Kagome tried to find a suitable target for her scheming. 'He's too cute, he's too smart, and he's too funny...he's...just annoying...' Kagome glanced to the left as someone sat down at the table beside her, her head lay resting on her arms which were folded on the table in front of her.
Lucius smiled charmingly, "May I inquire to what it is you are doing?"
"...is there someone here who Narcissa hates more than me...or equal too?" She added after a moments thought, glancing at Lucius as he grabbed some fresh salmon, and brazed chicken.
"...someone who...hm, there is that fifth year girl...Molly Prewett, I believe is her name."
"No, it has to be a guy."
He quirked a brow, "Then Molly's counterpart, Arthur Weasley, he's a sixth year..."
"Why does she have a problem with two people not even in her year?"
"Blood-traitors," He said, clearly that was all that was necessary, because Kagome's eyes darkened and a grin formed on her lips.
"That's perfect; can you tell me which gentleman is the Muggle-lover!"
He nodded, pointing to the head of the table, "He's a Prefect, I believe, though, I can't imagine why anyone would want to give him such responsibilities..."
Kagome nodded, not bothering to comment on what Lucius had said as she stood up and walked over to a boy much taller than her, she smiled and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and Kagome stepped back as he stood up curiously.
"May I help you?"
"I'd like to talk to you, for just a moment, please. Somewhere preferably without so many ears..."
He looked hesitant, and she knew why; 'What Gryffindor blindly trusts a Slytherin?'
"Sure," He smiled.
Her eyes widened, 'Clearly this one...' She turned and walked off, making her way to the potions room, she checked to see if Slughorn was present, and was pleased to find that he wasn't. "In here please."
"What was it you needed?"
"Honestly?"
He nodded, "Preferably."
Kagome laughed, "It's not much, I need help with a potion,"
"Oh, why ask me?"
"Because, I need an ingredient that only you can provide me with,"
He backed up as she pulled out her wand, "...what kind of ingredient..." His hand inching towards his own wand, hoping he can deflect whatever the girl in front of him tried.
"Don't move." Her voice was calm, "I just need tears, no blood, nothing like that...so...let's see what will make you squirm..."
"N-no...ah─!"

(Three Day's Later)
Kagome walked up to the Owlery and made her way to a beautiful eagle owl, "Hey Avery, want to do Lucius a favor?" She smiled when the owl hooted softly and tilted it's head. She pulled out a small package that fit nicely in the palm of her hands, holding the box up to the bird, she watched as she grabbed the box by the neatly tied string with its talons. Pulling out a note, she let the bird grip the ribbon tied around the scroll like letter in its beak. "Take both of these items to Narcissa Black."
It eyed her curiously before opening its wings wide and flying away. She made her way downstairs to the common room where Lucius sat reading in a chair. "Mind if I sit here?" She pointed at another chair near his.
He gave a wave of his hand to the seat and closed his book. "What brings you to me, I'm not used to this."
"Wouldn't want to miss the show," She smiled, "Do me a favor, don't say anything for the next ten minutes, and I'll do anything you want."
"I'll hold you to that," He opened his book and went back to reading, only for a loud squeal to call his attention away from the book as Narcissa came running downstairs with a large smile.
"They are so beautiful, Lucius!" In her hands were two gorgeous blood red earrings. She was placing them on as Lucius turned a curious frown to Kagome who was ignoring him and watching Narcissa as if she would do a back flip in minute now. He turned back to Narcissa who was still going on about how wonderful they were, and how they would look gorgeous with her complexion and...and then...silence...
"Cissy?" Bellatrix frowned, moving towards her sister, she waved a hand before her. "Cissy, what's wrong?"
"...I...I'm in love..."
Laughing, Bellatrix put a hand on her hip, "I don't understand what the big deal is, they are only earrings."
Kagome spoke up this time, "You should let the person you love, know how you feel..." She smiled broadly.
Lucius felt his eyes widen even more and stood suddenly, shaking his head negatively, and trying to keep himself from speaking, he could truly use some payback right about now. He was sure he knew who those earrings were from.
"Your right! I'll go tell him right now!" Narcissa ran out of the room with everyone staring after her in wonder.
"Oh...revenge truly is sweet..." She sighed softly, "I'm going to go watch this; it's bound to humor me more than sitting about this dullard room."
-x-x-x-
Lucius ran after Kagome quietly with Bellatrix behind him, catching up to the ravenette, he tapped her on the shoulder, but she didn't turn away, just pointed humorously downstairs. Both turned to see what she was looking at, and both felt their jaws drop at the sight below them.
Narcissa was crawling all over Arthur Weasley, as well, she was being pulled on by Molly Prewett, who was trying to tug her off of her boyfriend as Narcissa confessed her undying love for the ginger-haired Prefect who was trying to push her off too.
"What did you do to her?" Bellatrix couldn't help but ask.
"...I made a potion...just...for her..." She smiled, "And if she touches me again, I will do much worse than humiliating her. Tell her that in a week, when she finally returns to her senses." Turning, Kagome walked off to do her any assignments given during classes today. Glad that she had finally extracted her revenge on Narcissa, she let herself return to classes and studying. "Parseltongue," She said to the portrait in front of Slytherin Dorm. She entered as the portrait opened for her and sat down on a couch in front of the fireplace. Smiling when a ball of black fur came running up to her, jumping onto the couch, she laid down as the cat curled up beside her and started to purr softly beneath Kagome's hand. Her book lay open on the table with neat writing scrawled across a once blank page.

That was only one of many fights that the two would take part in, but perhaps that was for the best. With Lucius becoming a constant shadow behind her or beside her, and Narcissa being her practice for Potions and Charms...Kagome never expected that changes would be made between herself and Narcissa...she never thought that Narcissa would become something more than an opponent to which she could perform test magic...
