"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts!" exclaimed the ever-jubilant Headmaster. Behind his half-moon spectacles bright blue eyes were twinkling like they annoyingly always did. "Before we begin with our delicious feast, however, we have new professors that need to be introduced!" He motioned down the table and continued, "This year we are proud to welcome back two former Hogwarts pupils, Professor Sirius Black who will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and Professor Lucius Malfoy who will be taking the position of your Transfigurations teacher due to the unfortunate disappearence of Professor McGonagall!"
"Who shall be our new Head of House?" Collin Creevey from Gryffindor asked.
"I'm glad you asked, Mr. Creevey!" Dumbledore smiled. "Professor Black will be the new Head of Gryffindor, that is... if he accepts my offer?"
"Gladly," Sirius said darkly as he stood and bowed to the student body. He heard snickering from the the farthest table and glanced up to see who it was. But of course, it was Draco. He sat back down and sent Draco a glare that had no effect on the blonde teen. Lucius grabbed his hand under the table, instantly calming Sirius's growing annoyance at Draco's rudeness.
"Lamc dwon, [calm down]" Lucius said lowly.
"E ma lamc, [I am calm]" Sirius replied as he ignored Draco and focused his attention back on Dumbledore.
"Now that the introductions are over we shall sort the new first years, and I expect all of you upperclassmen to welcome them with open arms," Dumbledore said with a raised eyebrow. Various students laughed as Argus Filch, Hogwarts janitor and groundskeeper, came forward with a stool and the Sorting Hat. Professor Flitwick the Charms professor stood and began reading off the names, McGonagall's usual job.
All through the sorting Harry was bored out of his mind. He was glad, however, that Sirius was elected Head of House for Gryffindor. The Slytherins seemed friendly and surprisingly had the loudest applause when one of the new first years was sorted into their house. There were six new Gryffindors, five new Hufflepuffs, seven new Ravenclaws, and eight new Slyhterins.
"Harry?" Pansy Parkinson asked to get Harry's attention. He looked over at her.
"Can we see you without your glamour on later?" she asked hopefully.
Harry had learned that a large percentage of Slytherin were Sangue legare. He scooted closer to Draco. "No, only Draco."
Draco laughed and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist. "I tried to tell you Pansy." Pansy crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.
A few short seconds later they were eating their last Welcome Back! feast.

"So, dog breath, I see that getting Head of House hasn't made your head any bigger... yet," Severus teased as he, Lucius, and Sirius sat in the Teacher's common room in the tower where they each had their own room.
"Severus," Lucius said in warning. "Can't you two play nice for five minutes?"
Sirius glared at Snape and Snape glared at Sirius, "No!" they said together before glaring at each other again.
"I thought we were here so you could tell us what happened with those two infuriating women," Lucius said as he grabbed the back of his mate's trousers and pulled him down on the couch next to him. "Sit," he growled.
Snape sat in the chair across from the two new professors and sat back. "They have been taken care of," he said simply.
Lucius sat and waited for more details. When none came he sighed in annoyance."And?"
" And they'll never bother Harry again," Snape finished.
"Was it the one you're betrothed to?" Lucius asked as he watched for his friend's reaction. Snape froze for a fraction of a second and then quickly regained his composure.
"Yes, what of it?" Snape asked as if he didn't care one way or the other.
"Well when are you going to tell me who it is?" Lucius asked in exasperation. "It's killing me not to know!"
"You'll eventually have to find out I guess... Well.... um...." Snape seemed to be at a loss for words. This was the first time Lucius had seen his friend get so flustered. "Okay I'll tell you. His name is-"

"Draco, I'm perfectly capable of making it to Gryffindor Tower on my own." Harry sighed as Draco held his hand tightly. Everyone they passed stared at the pair as if they had just witnessed a human give birth to a purple dog. The stares were really starting to grate on Harry's nerves. "Tlel thim tu tosp grinsta, [Tell them to stop staring]" Harry muttered lowly.
"Ten points from anyone else who looks at Harry!" Draco exclaimed seriuosly. The stares stopped instantly. "Trebet? [Better?]" Draco asked with a smirk. Harry rolled his eyes and walked the rest of the way to Gryffindor Tower without a single person staring at him.
"Peppermint Patty," Harry told the portrait of the Fat Lady when they reached the entrance of the Gryffindor dorms. He would need to talk to Sirius about getting a new password.
"Correct," the Fat Lady sang as she opened up for Harry to walk through. He let go of Draco's hand, said goodbye, and tried to walk through the portrait hole. Draco tried to follow after him.
"Oh no you don't. You have your own room to go to," Harry laughed as he turned and pushed Draco back out into the hall. Draco pulled Harry out as well.
"I wasn't gonna let you leave without a good-night kiss," Draco said as he pulled Harry flush against his chest. Harry blushed and pushed on Draco's chest in an attempt to get away. If he had put more effort into it he probably could have...
"Well what do we have here?" Ginny Weasely sneered as she stepped into sight. "Hello, Harry," she said as if the word made her sick.
Draco growled low in his throat and Harry could feel his magic begin to build up in anger. Calm down, Draco, Harry told him mentally. You are very easily aroused.
Draco looked down at Harry and ignored Ginny for the time being. What an odd word choice... Aroused? he thought back. I can get very easily aroused when you're involved. Draco laughed deeply. Harry's heart fluttered at the sound. He had also forgotten about Ginny's presence...
Until she cleared her throat in annoyance at being forgotten. Draco turned to her and glared darkly, Harry just turned to her and smiled. "Hello, Ginny," he said sweetly, almost too sweetly. "I do believe that you had just been ignored. Many people would take that as a hint to get lost. Draco and I are busy," he finished with a demanding tone. Ginny glared but entered the portrait hole anyway.
"Harry: 1. Weasle: 0," Draco laughed. "Well done." Harry smiled and gently pushed Draco back until he was leaning against the wall.
"I'm a perfectly capable of taking care of myself where she's concerned," Harry said as he stood on his tiptoes and barely pressed his lips against Draco's. "Goodnight," Harry breathed. He was out of Draco's arms and through the portrait hole before Draco had time to pull him back and demand more.
That was cold, love, Drcao thought with a smirk as he made his way out of Gryffindor Tower.
You wouldn't have let me go otherwise, Harry thought back.
And? Draco questioned.
And you're Head Boy and have rounds to make, Harry explained.
Well I don't want to be Head Boy anymore, Draco pouted.
Well later if you just so happen to hear some kind of commotion in Gryffindor Tower... Harry started suggestively.
Peppermint Patty, Draco thought with a smile.
Peppermint Patty, Harry thought as he slipped into the silk pajamas Draco had bought for him. Tell Pansy I said goodnight, he added. And I'll see you later.

"Are you serious?" Lucius exclaimed. "That's amazing!"
"I had no idea that he was a Dragon Rider. Wow," Sirius said as he laid back and ran a hand through his brunette hair. "So a Half-Blood can only be with a Dragon Rider or other Half-Bloods?" he asked.
Snape nodded his head yes. Since the Half-Blood race was half-Dragon Rider and then an ancient elf race known as the Bonta`, Half-Bloods could either be with a Dragon Rider or another Half-Blood since the pureblood Bonta` had died away. Snape was the Half-Blood prince and therefore had to marry someone he didn't choose. All of his suitors but one had left the day Dumbledore had stolen his beauty. His parents declared him engaged over the last Christmas break. He wasn't too upset about his bethrothed... But they had hardly spoken to each other in the last ten years.
"Are you excited?" Lucius asked. Before Snape could answer, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout walked in.
"Well, I'm off to Gryffindor Tower," Sirius laughed as he stood and walked by the two professors. "I'll be back in a bit!"
Tell Harry that his wing training will start tomorrow morning before breakfast, Lucius told Sirius as he stood from the couch and made his way into his room that conjoined to Sirius's. "Goodnight, Severus!" he called over his shoulder.

"Peppermint Patty," Sirius told the Fat Lady. She looked at him and jumped back startled.
"Oh, dear! Am I dreaming? Why else would Sirius Black be back to see me?" she asked with a smile.
"Oh, my dear Lady," Sirius smiled with a bow. "Tis a pleasure to see you once again!"
"Oh pish posh you fiend!" the Lady scoffed. "You and I both know that you're hear for your dear Lucius and to wreak havocs in the halls of Hogwarts once again."
Srius laughed and nodded his head. "Aye, Lucius is here as well and Dumbledore will definitely have his hands full! He elected me Head of House!" At this the Fat Lady burst out laughing.
"The old man will surely have his hands full! Congratulations! You may enter," she smiled as she swung open.
"Thank you, Lady," Sirius smiled as he stepped throught the portrait hole and entered his old common room. He was glad to see that nothing had changed: the couches and chairs were still placed around the fireplace and the announcement board was still right next to the portrait hole. It was good to be back...
"Everyone!" Sirius yelled. "Gather round!" He waited a few minutes for all of Gryffindor to make their way into the common room. He smiled at Harry when he came down from his dorm and glared at the Weasle boy when he bumped into Harry from behind. He decided against hexing the teen to teach him some manners and instead cleared his throat for silence. "Hello, I hope all is well and that you have settled in. I am Sirius Black, former Gryffindor." The crowd of students cheered. "I am honored to be your new Head of House. If you have any questions or concerns, like when is the best time to prank Filch, or how do I fall asleep in Binns's class without falling asleep... Feel free to seek me out." This time all of the students laughed. It appeared that they were all taking a liking to Sirius, all except Ron who sat glaring the whole time. "I'm a very fun person and only get mad when someone close to me is threatened." At this he gave Ron pointed glare. "I promise that I am in no way as strict as McGonagall. She was just evil. Gave me detention for half a year, she did!" he said with a shudder. "All I did was spike her tea and make her hair pink..." The common room was suddenly filled with whistles and hoots of amusement. Sirius smiled. "No one likes her do they?" he asked. A chorus of 'no' rang throughout the room. "Neither do dragons," he mumbled so only Harry would be able to hear it with his hightened sense of hearing. "Dismissed! All except you Mr. Potter," he said with a wave at everyone.
"Professor?" Harry questioned as he stood in front of Sirius. He had a smile on his face that matched Sirius's.
"How did I do?" Sirius asked lowly.
"Great! I think they really liked you," Harry answered honestly. "Better than McGonagall any day."
"Good, good, good," Sirius sighed in relief. "Well, Lucius wanted me to tell you that your training will start tomorrow morning before breakfast."
"Really?" Harry questioned. "How early?" Harry had planned on sleeping in... but then again, wing training was a good reason for waking up. "Where?"
"Just meet him in the entrance hall around seven," Sirius said with a smile.
"Okay," Harry smiled. "Will do. Tell him I said goodnight."
"I will," Sirius smiled. "Goodnight, pup," Sirius said as he ruffled Harry's unruly hair in a fatherly manner.
"Goodnight," Harry said as he turned away and headed back up to the seventh year dorm.
Sirius watched him walk up the stairs and then turned to leave himself. As he turned he saw a glimpse of red hair; it was Ron. His eyes turned cold as he glared at the red head. Ron looked over and glared back. Sirius lifted his hand to his face and pointed at his eyes before pointing the same hand at Ron. He got the message loud and clear but Sirius mouthed the words, "I'm watching you," to be sure he was understood. With a quick goodbye to the Fat Lady he was off to the teachers' tower.

"Alright, you two, off to your dorms or I'll deduct points," Draco called to a pair of Ravenclaws walking in the opposite direction of their dorm. "First day or not," he warned. The pair sagged their shoulders and huffed as they turned around to go back to their dorms. "That's what I thought," Draco called after them. He had been telling students to go back to their dorms for an hour now. It was already ten minutes past curfew. When would the idiots get a clue and stay in their dorms. Harry was waiting on him...
He heard a noise off to his left. He stopped and reached out with his mind. Oh, no it's Draco, he heard an unfortunately familiar voice thinking. Then a shorter figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Hermione Granger.
"Hello, Draco," she said quietly without making eye contact.
"Granger," Draco replied coldly. "I'm just about finished with my rounds. I don't need another lecture like on the train."
"Oh, no... You can go. I'll finish up the rounds," Hermione replied finally looking at Draco. He stood there studying her trying to decide if something bad would happen if he took her up in her offer. Well, she would be the one who got blamed.
"If you insist Granger," Draco said as he turned and walked away. He didn't see Hermione smile as she noticed that he was heading towards Gryffindor Tower which she knew for a fact was on the opposite side of the castle than the Slytherin dungeons.
She turned around and went to finish Draco's rounds along with hers.

NOTE: Sorry for the shortness again... but I didn;t want to wait anymore.
How did I do with the LEGARE tongue translations? Better?
Please review!!!
