Chapter 10
Just a thank you to all of those who have given reviews, and I ask that you continue to do so.
And to those who question "Kaia's" view on blood they are still the same as they were when she was a muggleborn witch.
Last time:
"Ok Draco, I'll let you help me. But, right now I want to decorate my room then go to bed. I promise we can talk more about this when I have more energy," I said.
When I went into my room it was like professor Dumbledore said; bare, and because I like the design of my room so much back home at Balthazar Castle, I decided to use that design. After designing my room, I barely had enough energy to change clothes, and got into bed.
This time:
Right before I fell asleep after getting into bed, I started feeling dizzy, and everything started turning foggy; the way it does when I have a flashback.
Flashback
I was standing on the lawn on what looked to be the west side of my parents' castle. I heard voices coming from around the corner; in my mother's favorite garden to be exact.
"Laila," Narcissa started, "can I tell you something?"
"Why yes, of course, anything, Cissa."
"Lucius and I have noticed some…strange markings on Draco's forearm. At first, we thought it was just a birthmark, albeit a strange one being that it is a star and crescent moon, but then it started to glow faintly one night. Have you or Radek read anything about markings such as this on newborns?"
"I cannot say that I have read anything, but I do know something that will ease your concerns. Narcissa, a few weeks ago, Radek and I learned that we were not safe, and Kaia is wanted by Lord Voldemort because of her power. Before I continue any further, Narcissa, do you know anything about the history behind the Balthazar family?"
"Yes, but what does that have to…" she trailed off, "Kaia is an only child," she said.
"Yes, therefore making her very powerful, and because of the power she possesses, she was given a guardian, Draco is her guardian, but they are also connected."
"Yes yes, I knew that already, but why were his markings glowing?" Narcissa asked impatiently.
"Narcissa, when I said that Voldemort wanted my daughter, I was not lying to you. He has even gone so far as to threaten our lives. In order to protect our daughter, Radek took her to the muggle world, and left her with a muggle family. The reason Draco's markings were glowing is because of the major distance put between him and Kaia. Draco's protective nature is able to tell that Kaia is no longer in our world, therefore meaning that he is no longer able to "sense" her presence," my mother explained.
"You also mentioned that you and Radek were not safe, what will become of you?" Narcissa asked worriedly.
"Radek and I must go on the run," my mother said, "and we invited you and Lucius over because, we want you to be our secret keepers," my mother said.
When I woke up the next morning I was…disoriented. After grabbing my clothes I went to the bathroom to start my usual morning routine. When I got to the bathroom, I gasped; it has both a shower and a bathtub. The bathtub being the size of a pool, but still not as big as the one in my personal bathroom at the castle, and the shower being big enough to fit about five people; there are two sinks, and a towel rack with two green towels, one with my initials, and the other with Malfoy's; all in all the bathroom is beautiful.
After showering and dressing, I headed down to the common room and really took a look around since I was too tired last night to notice. I saw that there were two green chairs in front of the fireplace, and a black couch with a coffee table in front of it; over in a corner on the far end of the room is a library with two desks; which were the deciding factors on my opinion of the place.
'I absolutely love it!' I thought excitedly.
After finishing my "inspection" of the common room, I finally noticed Malfoy standing in the doorway of his room watching me with a smirk on his face.
'I bet I know how to wipe that smirk off his face' I thought with a smirk of my own.
"See something you like, Draco?" I said
His smirk immediately got wider, "No," he said, "I was just thinking that you need a lot more practice on hiding your emotions, and that only bookworm Granger would fall in love with something as stupid as a bookcase," he said.
"… Are you done?" I asked irritated.
"Yes, now we can go down to breakfast," he said smirk still in place.
"Now we can go to breakfast? What makes you think that I want to go to breakfast with you?" I asked with a smirk.
"I told you Gr…err...Kaia, I am actually going to do my job; and that starts today. So, let's go to breakfast," he said seriously.
"Fine, Malfoy, let's go," I said irritated.
During breakfast, we got our class schedules, and everything was fine, until Pansy screamed. Everyone just thought that she wanted attention, as usual. But on closer inspection, you could see that all of the silverware that was near her was attacking her; as well as some of the food.
"MUDBLOOD!" she screamed outraged.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"You'll pay for that," she said. As she started to say a curse, professor Snape stepped in, "Miss Parkinson! In my office. Now."
As Pansy stalked off, I noticed Malfoy laughing. "Did you do that?" he asked with a laugh.
"Yeah." I started laughing too, making the ceiling of the great hall turn into a sunny, cloudless sky.
When Malfoy noticed this he whispered, "Ok, you need to put a lid on the happiness, the ceiling just changed."
"Oh, I'm gonna go calm down before classes start," I whispered.
He nodded, "I'll see you in Transfiguration," he said.
When I left the Great Hall I bumped into someone, and when I looked up I saw that it was Ginny.
"Are you mad at me too, Gin?" I asked, testing the waters.
"Of course not! Why would I be mad at you?" she asked.
"Didn't Ron tell you what happened?"
"No, Harry did. There is no reason for Ron to be acting the way he is," she started, "and I can understand why you didn't write or anything. But, you know how Ron is, always acting before thinking."
"Thanks, Gin. It's nice to know that I have some friends that aren't judging me," I said giving her a hug.
"No problem, Kay, and yes I'm going to call you that now; but I have to go grab at least a piece of toast before classes start. So, I'll see you later, but we really need to hangout and have some girl time," she said with a smile.
"Definitely," I said returning it.
