A/N: Thanks for those who reviewed and I'm so sorry for the delay on the update. I was having writer's block and can't think of what to write next. But as the weather got better in his country, my mind has gradually cleared.

"That's the Boy Who Lived right, Senri?" Rima said between bites of pocky. Her beautiful blue eyes followed the retreating form of a boy with dark hair and glasses.

"Don't care," Rima had to sigh at Shiki's lack of interest. She pulled out another pocky stick from the packet and raised it to Shiki's mouth. She had to smirk when he willingly ducked his head to take the pocky with his teeth.

"Hey, isn't that my pocky?" Aidou said in a comical, irritated voice.

The pocky thieves simply looked at him blankly. Seriously, those two are just so alike!

"Meanie." That's it! These two stole his pocky and had the gal to call him mean?

"How could you be so sure that it was your pocky?" Shiki said in his emotionless tone but Aidou knows that these kids are blatantly challenging him.

"I put my name at the bottom of the packet!" Aidou congratulated himself for thinking such a marvellous idea. After all those times that these two had eaten his pocky without his permission.

The two simply looked at him until Rima slowly checked the bottom of the packet and sure enough Aidou's name is written on it in permanent marker.

"How cheap. Isn't this what poor folks does to their things?" Rima's face shows no emotion but Aidou knows that this girl is riling him up. Hanabusa cannot stop his eyebrows from twitching as each second pass.

The two looked at each other and decided that it's time for diversion tactics.

"Shouldn't you be worrying more about your punishment?" That hit the spot. Senri watched in amusement as Aidou's face contorted from anger to horror.

Kaname rose from his seat and offered a handshake to Dumbledore which the old man accepted.

"Dumbledore-san, we are glad to finally meet you."

"You showed quite a display of your charms earlier, Mr. Kuran."

"It's just one of the things that you learn when you've lived this long, Professor."

"Ah, indeed. Now, I can't help but wonder how long you've lived, Mr. Kuran."

"Who knows...," the vampire said mysteriously. "Allow me to introduce my co-students. But first of all, this is Yuuki Cross, my fiancee."

"It's nice to meet you, Professor Dumbledore. I have read a lot of things about you. All of which are very interesting."

"Such a dilligent student you are. But the pleasure is all mine for having met such a pretty girl in my life, Ms Cross."

Aidou would like to gag. Yuuki! A diligent student? That is so not true. She spends more time spacing out than actually learning. Aidou's dedication for her education is what caused her to learn this much.

"Thank you, Professor." Had Yuuki been her old self, she would either blush or cheerfully accept the compliment depending on whom it came from. But since her transformation, she had been taught not to take compliments or criticism too seriously. To always doubt its sincerity and purpose. Now that the person standing before them is the transformed Yuuki, she simply gave a fake pleasant smile to accompany her thank you.

The rest of the Night Class was introduced and they were sent to their house.

Ruka scanned the room impressed but her stately upbringing stopped her from allowing it to reflect on her beautiful face. The room is circular with walls that are painted lavander while the draperies are mostly purple with gold trimmings and embroidery. The floor is covered with soft, white carpeting. From the portrait hole, ten steps lead down to a circular space about 3 feet deep where a deep violet, modern contemporary, circular sofa is placed. A glass round table is at the center surrounded by the violet sofa. The top of the sofa's back rest is the same level as the floor where Ruka stood. A large, glittering, glass chandelier hangs about 20 feet directly on top of the glass table.

There are loveseats, Victorian chairs and round, wooden tables around the circular space. There are potted plants and lamps to add more light and character to the room. Across the room, two staircases lead to their respective dormitories.

"The girl's dormitories will be on the left, while the boy's is on the right." Kaname stepped forward and sat on a Victorian chair halfway through the room while everyone stood in rapt attention waiting for what he would say next.

"Oh, what am I saying. Perhaps, the best introduction should be…"he crossed his legs, leaned his chin on his right fist, raised his left hand as if gesturing to the entire room before lazily saying in his suave voice, "Welcome to Hogwarts!"

The Night Class, except Yuuki, bowed in thanks and acknowledgement.

"Now, I am sure that everyone is aware of the rules but allow me to remind you. First of all, I forbid you to attack or cause any physical harm to the students and staff in this school. The only exemption is when your life is threatened. We are not to drink their blood and must keep to our diet." He paused to survey the occupants of the room for any negative reaction and was satisfied to find none.

"The forest in the grounds is forbidden. From what we've gathered, there are creatures in the forest that are life-threatening to us. Do not intentionally put yourselves in danger just for the fun of it.

"We are allowed to interact with the other students during the day or when we meet them during dinner so please try your best to be nice and help make this treaty a success. As for what happened earlier…"

Aidou noticeably stiffened while he held his breath for whatever punishment awaits him. "Professor Umbridge is quite a character wouldn't you agree?" Everyone's eyes flashed in anger as they remembered how the ugly woman insulted their Kaname-sama and their race as a whole.

"She seems to hold a grudge against half-breeds and people that threatens her beloved ministry. She has recently campaigned against werewolves and it appears that she plans to do the same with vampires. She is biased, unjust and cruel. I would request for all of you to stir clear out of her way and restrain yourselves from getting detentions. I am in charge of administering punishments for the Night Class, however, it may not stay that way in the future. She has strong ties with her ministry and after the event earlier, I am sure that she will do whatever she can to gain more power and administer the punishments herself. As your Dorm President and Head Of the Vampire Council, I will do whatever I can to prevent this but there will be a time when we will be forced to relent in order to protect the treaty."

The noble vampires put their right arm across their chest in salute and bowed deeply. "We understand, Kaname-sama."

"Aidou…" Aidou's whole body froze in fear at the mention of his name. He stepped forward awaiting his doom.

"I understand your reaction earlier. You were simply driven by your anger and loyalty. However, such display can get you in more trouble than what you are prepared to face." Aidou blinked a few times, he had expected Kaname-sama to slap him in the face the moment that he is within arms reach.

"However,"

Here it comes…Aidou had to braze himself to whatever creative punishment that Kaname-sama will cook up.

"a promised have been made to punish you severely, therefore…" Is he just imagining it or is it true that a dark aura is emanating from Kaname-sama?

"You shall be helping out in the kitchen to prepare dinner with the house elves for the entire school year."

Aidou unceremoniously threw himself on the nearest four-poster bed. He needed some time to finally accept his latest punishment. Kaname-sama is downright cruel when it comes to giving one.

You shall be helping out in the kitchen to prepare dinner with the house elves for the entire school year.

"Seriously! The entire school year?" He raised his head up to meet the gaze of Akatsuki, Shiki and Ichijou.

Ichijou, being the gentle vampire that he is, sat on his bed to comfort him. "Look on the bright side, you only had to prepare dinner. Atleast, he did not make you cook for breakfast and lunch too."

"Or maybe, breakfast will be your next punishment." Shiki said in mock concern.

"Shut up, Carrot Top! No one's asking for your opinion. Geez! Is that my pocky, again?"

The redhead simply shrugged and continued nibbling on Aidou's pocky.

"You know better than anyone that Kaname-sama is harsh on giving out punishments." Akatsuki finally spoke. "He's strategies are getting more creative, though."

"That's true." Aidou's eyes snapped at attention upon hearing Akatsuki's remark.

"He used to simply slap us when you're misbehaving and when I let you misbehave. But now, he's cooking up punishments that do not physically hurt us. He would probably be more lenient if that Umbride woman did not specifically ask to give you a severe punishment."

Aidou contemplated on what Akatsuki said. He shuddered to think on what other punishments Kaname-sama would make him do in the future. But in spite of being put through harsh punishment, he can't helped but be touched by the thought that Kaname-sama understood why he reacted the way he did. It did not save him from the punishment but at least, he stopped hitting him on the face.

He looked down on his bedsheet. Purple.

"What's with all this purple and who in their right mind would put purple bedsheets on a man's bed?"

"You've just noticed? The entire place is in different shades of violet. It's obviously our house's color." Ichijou leaned back on the bed and stared at the glass chandelier between the beds.

"The fabric and the color looks like the type that you would use in a coffin. How ironic." Shiki stood up and headed out the door.

"Where are you going, Shiki?" inquired Ichijou.

"To the Dorm President. We're supposed to get our schedules after we're settled. Class starts tomorrow night."

Aidou had to groan. His punishment will also begin tomorrow. Getting himself in trouble is definitely not how he wanted to start his school year. Most definitely not.

It took me awhile to decide the color to represent the Night House Class. I searched google for colors that are associated with vampires. I pulled up red, blue, black and purple. Since the first two are already taken, and I think black is pretty dull since Hogwart's uniform is black, I chose purple. So, the Fifth house color will be purple and gold. I know that gold also represents gryffindor but it's a lot better than my second choice, white.

Thank you for all those who reviewed! It means a lot to me. Thanks a lot! KOSMOS Crusnik 06, BendyOStraw, lady black 22, Bydd byth chi ddod o hyd i mi, yukixzerovk, TheSneakyHobo, Lady Airashii Mentsu 67, Nightling17, and Gemleaf.
