A/N: I like Barty Crouch better for this scene but I am going to have to work with the minister I have. *sigh*. Hello Rufus (naked mole rat :3). And not sure if someone still has a certain position but they will in this story so deal with it!
"Sorry Kouga!" Kagome moved briskly to the frozen boy and uttered the counter curse. "I didn't realize it was you and Inuyasha." Kouga gave her the weirdest look she had ever received from the boy.
"Kagome, that's Lord Sesshomaru." Kouga said pointing with his thumb at the dog demon for emphasis. "Anyways Inuyasha is dead." The last part was muttered but still heard none the less.
Directing her attention to the other occupant in the room Kagome saw that it was indeed Sesshomaru. 'But then why did I see Inuyasha?' Shaking her head to clear her thoughts 'Guess I just miss the jerk.' Kagome looked back up to see that Kouga's weird look from before had changed to one of curious worry. Sesshomaru still held his stoic indifference.
"Kagome, are you okay?"
"Yes, yes why wouldn't I be?" Kagome laughed and then hugged the wolf yukai in greeting. Turned to bow to her lord and stood back up. She motioned to the chair for Sesshomaru and had Kouga sit on the bed while she grabbed some clothes to change into behind a curtain she strung up. "So what brings you to England?"
"I am in charge of making sure Ryuki gets back to Japan safely." Kouga said puffing out his chest slightly. "After all don't want the old dragon to be put under a spell again huh?" Kagome laughed at that while appearing from behind the curtain.
"Where has he been anyway? I haven't seen him in a while." The last time being when she what him help with a class again.
"Ryuki has been hanging around the forest bordering the school. It seems he has taken an interest to the animal life in the area." Sesshomaru said uninterestedly. Kagome just shrugged and got ready to ask a question. "And the kit is currently on the phone with his mate."
"How did you- never mind. So he mated Rin I suppose?" Kagome did nothing to hide the gleam in her eyes. "Any grand-kits I should know about?" with the shake of Sesshomaru's head Kagome snapped her fingers. After a minute she let her hands drop and looked up with solemn eyes. "So is Inuyasha really….."
"Yes Kagome. He went to hell with Kikyo. At least that's what we think…." Kouga said down casting his eyes as a distinct sneer spread across his face.
"What do you mean think….?" Kagome asked with trepidation.
"He just disappeared after a while. So did Kikyo so a few deductions led to the idea that he went with her." Kouga shrugged her shoulders. "He never did deserve you. You were my woman after all."
"Wolf I highly doubt that your mate and Kagome's lover would appreciate you saying that."
"I suppose so… Wait! Lover?!" Kouga looked to Kagome as she blushed a dark pink spreading her cheeks.
"More like a boyfriend. We've only kissed…." Kagome looked away as her blush deepened. "So Inuyasha was never discovered?"
"No diverting this Kagome! Is this that Malfoy boy I saw you with earlier?" Kouga looked to Kagome who was sitting on her dresser her legs crossed.
"Well yes… wait! Were you spying on me?!" Kagome yelled with an accusing finger pointed at Kouga who instantly shied away a bit.
"Well yes…but so was Sesshomaru!" at this statement Kagome glared at Sesshomaru and then turned back to give Kouga a pointed look. "Well you see he is a Malfoy Kagome. And he has ties to the man that gave you that nice little tattoo you are hiding under a spell." As his words sunk in Kagome let the glimmer spell give way.
"Kouga, Draco isn't like that. I can even sense it in his aura. He wants nothing to do with Voldemort. Especially when he found out what he did to me…and his mother." Kagome scorned. "I'm only worried that Voldemort…no father will do something terrible to him when he finds out our relationship."
"It's okay Kagome. Go to sleep you need your rest." Sesshomaru told her as he ushered him and Kouga out of the bedroom.
Sighing Kagome pulled back her covers to see a lone witch hat sitting peaceably on her pillow. Its two buttons shining up at her.
"Oh no! I have nothing to say to you Salazar. I know you knew yet never told me." As she spoke she picked up the hat and opened her door. She felt the hat start moving a tad. "No. If I deem you ever trustworthy enough to speak to again I will." With that she un-gracefully dropped the hat in the hall and slammed the door. Ready to let sleep claim her.
The next day found many Hogwarts students enjoying the Christmas season. At the moment Kagome was wishing Kouga and Ryuki a safe trip home as Sesshomaru and Shippou decided to spend the holiday in Europe.
Dumbledore was wearing a delightfully silly tiara instead of a wizards hat. It was a peaceful time. Many students were sent home for Christmas last night so as to spend it with their families. And to be able to enjoy the ball. Draco included. But that didn't stop him from having a gift for Kagome left outside her door.
Kagome actually stepped on the small box when she left her room, when she looked to see a crushed box she lifted it up and opened it. A beautiful necklace with a chain and Single pendant was inside. With a black and gold coloring to small heart looked as if a galaxy was swirling within. Kagome smiled at the hidden meaning.
The coloring was Draco's aura. Ideally, he gave a part of himself to her. Kagome clutched the necklace and immediately put it on. Happiness showing greatly.
That brings her back to the great hall. After she donned on her robes for the day she swept herself into the hall for breakfast. Sitting with the teachers at the front table the remaining fifteen students just sat with the teachers at the front. Everyone was enjoying the holiday.
Until the doors slammed open that is. Waltzing into the great hall were three people. One looked to be Rufus Scrimgeor, the Minister for Magic himself. Next to him were two people Kagome couldn't recognize. One was a man wearing an Aurorers uniform. She had bright pink hair with purple streaks and thick eyeliner. Next to her was a rather stout woman who resembled a toad far too much for Kagome's liking. Especially with her minute toad demon heritage.
"Kagome Higurashi?" The three stopped in front of her and Rufus spoke. "As ordered by the head of European Educational Affairs for the Ministry of Magic; Dolores Umbridge, you are ordered an immediate leave of position." The whole time Rufus read from a scroll. Kagome had half thought he was going to roll the scroll up. He did but immediately pulled out another scroll.
"Kagome Higurashi, as an order by the Minister for Magic; Rufus Scrimgeor you are under arrest for the affiliation with the Dark Lord, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Rufus took a breath and flashed his wand and soon after the glimmer spell on her arms was gone. "Thanks to an anonymous source the doings between you and your father and the inappropriate relationship with a student has been brought to light. And are sentenced to Azkaban prison until your hearing on the 15th of January."
