'Thinking'

(Scene Break)

Six months later…

Both Orochimaru and Kabuto are finally packing and sealing all of their things into several huge storage scrolls. It has been six months since they passed the barrier that separated the Elemental Countries and the Outside Countries. When they arrived in Japan, they did not get far when they were surrounded by at least twenty-five Japanese aurors. Why it took so many aurors to escort them to the Ministry was mostly due to Orochimaru and her reputation.

It took about a month for Orochimaru to clear her name and that all of the crimes were done by the soul fragment and not by her personally. Then it took a bunch of different tests that were conducted to determine whether or not she was telling the truth or not.

It was then proven that what Orochimaru was indeed telling the truth. But there was something else that the Japanese Ministry got a kick out of. Orochimaru's real name that her birth parents gave her was Harriet Lily Potter and that she should be fourteen years old instead of being forty-six years old and yet she is in the body of a twenty-one year old, thanks to the work of The Shinigami. And despite the soul fragment committing the horrible crimes, she was way worse than the British's so called Dark Lord Voldemort. And some ways better than Voldemort, she was a scientist first and did not kill to simply to kill.

Orochimaru learned that she was considered a savior and had gained the title of The –Girl –Who –Lived due to surviving the unblockable killing curse and destroying the Dark Lord's body. There were rumors going around that the Dark Lord is somewhat alive and is just a wrath, possessing anything from animals to humans. When Orochimaru heard what her title was that the British wizardry community gave her, she wanted to vomit. Couldn't they have come up with a better title than that?

After clearing up some things with the Ministry, Kabuto and Orochimaru settled in the closest apartment to the Ministry of Magic, in order to learn magic and also, shadow clones were put to great use. As they learned basically everything, including the English language, and got very high scores in O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s. And due to the situation in Britain, Orochimaru decided not to use her birth name, because it would some serious problems. So she is going to use the name of Peverell, so her name would be Orochimaru Peverell. And since she is the last Peverell from the line of the youngest brother and the Peverell is one of the oldest families in Europe, especially Britain. And the best thing, only the Potter family and the Guant family are the only two families that descended from the Peverell family and the other pureblood families don't even have one single drop of Peverell blood running through their veins, but that never stopped them from trying to claim the Peverell vaults and properties for themselves.

So at the present time, Orochimaru and Kabuto would be traveling to Hogwarts, where Orochimaru would apply for the teaching position of Defense against the Dark Arts Professor and Kabuto would be her appetence and an extra medic or rather healer. They have heard that the Headmaster and Cedric Diggory are claiming that the Dark Lord has returned. And that the British Minister Fudge is denying it and is dragging their names through the mud. Both Orochimaru and Kabuto heard how lazy, stupid, and easy to bribe and fool that Fudge is. And they even heard about a pink toad name Umbridge, his undersecretary, also known as the ugly pink toad, who hates anything and anyone who is not a pureblood.

Orochimaru and Kabuto knew that if they were to meet this Umbridge person, they will have to resist killing her on sight, but if she were to say disappear, they would know nothing of that.

Orochimaru finished sealing her things, she asked as she turned to the young companion, "Kabuto, have you finished sealing your things?"

Orochimaru swears that Kabuto had bought every healing and law books and potion ingredients that he could get his hands on. But Kabuto did not have the same amount of books and potion ingredients that she has. Even though, she was possessed by an evil soul fragment, Orochimaru is still a scientist at heart and likes to experiment with current potions, trying to improve them or try to invent new potions.

"All done, Orochimaru –sama," Kabuto replied as he rolled his storage scroll up.

"Good," Orochimaru approved. "Lets get at the Ministry before we miss the Portkey."

"Hai, Orochimaru –sama," Kabuto answered as he followed his Master our of the apartment for the last time.

Kabuto is fully and totally loyal to Orochimaru and no matter what happens; he would always be standing right by her side, serving her to the best of his ability. He was always told who he was suppose to be first by Danzo after Mother gave him to that man and then after Danzo, it was Sasori and his sleeper agent Jutsu and being made to serve the old Orochimaru, who made him to do things against his will. It was like he was locked inside his mind, yet not. Then when serving Orochimaru, Sasori's Jutsu was broken by Orochimaru after serving him for a couple of years, and after that it was a matter of survival since then. But only about a year ago, one night, it felt like death was there and no one, including himself, could not move in fear and it seemed to be coming from Orochimaru's room.

By the next morning, the terror was gone and Kabuto immediately rushed into Orochimaru's room to see what had happened the night before. And the shocking truth came out and Kabuto finally realized how much he and Orochimaru –sama were alike. They stopped doing human experimenting and Orochimaru allowed and helped him to persuade his life goal and that was to become the best field medic in history, better than Tsunade.

Kabuto watched Orochimaru as she talked to the Ministry Official in charged of the Portkey transportation and they were told that they would be arriving very close to Hogwarts.

"Ready to go, Kabuto?" Orochimaru asked, breaking Kabuto out of his thoughts.

"Hai, Orochimaru –sama," Kabuto responded immediately. He will be prepared for anything that comes their way in the future.

(Scene Break)

In the Headmaster's Office…

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore felt like the weight of the world was pressing down on his shoulders. Harriet Potter had disappeared that night that the Dark Lord had attacked the Potters. And thanks to the goblins, everyone knows that she had somehow survived the killing curse and defeated the Dark Lord. Everyone had tried to find her, but everyone, including himself, had failed. So the only thing that he currently can do is hope that she is healthy, safe, and that she would returned one day, so he can apologized for failing her and her family.

And just at the end of last year, Cedric Diggory was kidnapped at the end of the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament by the death eater impersonating Mad-Eye Moody and Cedric's blood was used to create a new body for the Dark Lord. And the Minister is in severe denial about the Dark Lord rising again and believes that he, Albus, is only after his position as Minister of Magic. And also Fudge has begun a slandering campaign against him and calling poor Cedric an attention seeking lying brat, who is not in his right mind.

And the worst part, in Albus' mind at the current time, was that he can not find someone to willingly take the position of Defense against the Dark Arts Professor. And if that was not enough, Cornelius had put a time limit on finding a person to take the position and today is the last day for it and he is praying for a miracle to happen. And if he can't find anyone, Cornelius would appoint someone like Dolores Umbridge to the position of teaching young children.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door and Albus called out, "Come in!"

Minerva McGonagall came in and closed the door behind her. Albus saw that Minerva looked deeply shaken and a bit afraid of something. She began nervously, "There are two people here, who are interested in the Defense against the Dark Arts teaching position."

Albus' eyes almost literally had beams of light coming from them in happiness as he exclaimed, "Send them in! Send them in!"

Albus saw that Minerva was hesitating at the door, so he questioned, "Minerva, what's wrong?"

Minerva thought for a moment or two, before she answered, "Just be careful with them."

That was all that she said before leaving and not letting him have any time to ask what she had meant by that. Not even a minute later, two very interesting looking people walked into his office.

The first person is a tall thin woman that has the looks of a mixture of British and Japanese origins. She wore a pair of loose pants, a purple tunic and a large thick rope tied around her waist. But the most surprising and shocking feature on this female is her face. Her face was surrounded by a curtain of long flat midnight black hair, her skin was pale, yet it held a bit of a tan, and her face was thin, kinda like Severus' face, but the most shocking feature were her eyes. Her eyes are emerald green snake eyes with a touch of yellow and the eyes are surrounded by black thick bold lines that somehow looked like it was totally natural and it completed the snake look. And finally, she was wearing a pair of earrings that were made out of good sized snake fangs.

Standing slightly behind the woman, was a young man with silver hair pulled into a high ponytail and also he was wearing a pair of big wire framed glasses. He, too, was wearing loose fitting clothes. And both of them have large scrolls attached on their backs.

When Albus studied their facial expressions, it made him think of Tom when he came to apply for the Defense against the Dark Arts teaching position, all of those years ago. But there was something different about them.

Albus cleared his throat and cheerfully greeted, "Welcome to Hogwarts! How can I help you two?"

The woman smiled and introduced themselves, "I'm Orochimaru Peverell and this is my student, Kabuto Yakushi. I hear that you are looking for someone to teach Defense against the Dark Arts and I'm here to apply for that position."

Albus felt like his jaw almost dropped to the ground, when the woman introduced themselves. The woman is a Peverell. He did not know that there were any Peverells left. The way that Orochimaru talks sounded a bit like a snake, but not much.

Albus opened his mouth to ask them something, when he was interrupted by the Floo activating and Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge stepped out of the fireplace without asking for permission to come through or even with a greeting of any sort.

"It seems that you could not find someone to teach… who are you?" minister Fudge asked, rather rudely, when he finally noticed the other two people that were also in the Headmaster's office.

Albus knew that he was stuck between two choices. One he could not hire the two guests and then he would be stuck with Umbridge teaching Merlin knows what to the children, or two, he could hire the two guests, even though one of them kinda looks like a snake, and maybe the students would get a proper education. Albus choose the lesser of the two evils. Besides, he just saw something that just caused his hopes to rise just a little bit.

Albus cleared his throat and introduced them, "Minister Fudge, Madam Umbridge, this Orochimaru Peverell, the new Professor who will be teaching Defense against the Dark Arts and the young man is Kabuto Yakushi, her student."

Both Orochimaru and Kabuto mentally smirked in victory at getting what they wanted. While at the same time, Fudge and his loyal follower, Umbridge both became whiter than paper when they heard the last name. They knew that if they were to go up against a Peverell of all people, then all of the purebloods, no matter whether they were enemies or not, would rally behind Peverell and they would be kicked out of their offices.

Cornelius shuffled nervously at the look that the Peverell woman was giving him, it made him feel like she was judging him and found him to be severely lacking. So he greeted nervously, "Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor Peverell, and Mr. Yakushi. I hope that you will find our lovely country welcoming."

He already had a feeling that this year might be his last, in office, but Cornelius shrugged it off. There was nothing that could get him kicked out of office.

"Kukuku," Orochimaru chuckled, scaring the two even more. "Thank you, Minister. But don't let me keep you and Madam Umbridge from your jobs. After all, keeping a great country like Britain, running smoothly, takes a lot of hard work."

"Of course," Fudge agreed, while he and Miss Toady (I apologize to all of the honest toads for calling Umbridge a toad) puffed up their chests in false pride. "We must be going. Lots of work to do. Have a wonderful afternoon, everyone."

With that, the two idiots stepped into the floo and disappeared in green flames.

"Any longer and I am afraid that I would be bleeding from my eyes by looking at them, Orochimaru –sama," Kabuto stated as he cleaned his glasses.

"Indeed, Kabuto –kun," Orochimaru replied with a slight smirk.

Albus chuckled and then he calmly said, "I'm sure that you have a very interesting story to tell me, Professor Peverell or rather should I say, Professor Potter."

AN: I hope that you all like this chapter. Please review and tell me what you all think of it. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
