Inuyasha crossover Harry Potter
Chapter 7: To Meet Again
She had left out another little detail that night when mentioning about him inheriting power, it was also in a way to recall his soul within a human vessel.
After much consideration, and with her memories of the past, she kept away from him, kept herself busy from thinking of him and those words that he had left her with that night. Instead, she took on the responsibilities and duties, the remainder of the time with her family and close circle of friends and then there is the council of people that she now surrounds herself with, and hear their endless chitter-chatters.
As a representative of the Malfoy household, Draco tried to not drag his feet as he followed where the crowd are going as he looked on posture stiffly straight, head held high as he moved. The Pure Blood families are all invited, including people of importance in the Ministry as they gathered for a grandiose party to welcome another foreign ministry's representatives.
Draco stayed away from the crowd of people, not even attempting to make small talk with the people gathered there as he took sips of her fire whiskey after having downed a few glasses to 'warm' himself.
It was still a school term, however he had special permission to attend this, a break that was given to him. There were a few major changes in his life, and the latest changes in his life was after she had disappeared on him. Things were just different, no longer the same, as he just went through the routine of life robotically.
Everyone is abuzz with so much noise, until those chatter became loud whispers as heads turned in a particular direction. Draco placed his empty glass down on the table, picking on a new glass filled with the amber liquid, taking a mouthful from it as he turned his head in the direction that everyone is looking at, and nearly choked on his drink as he swallowed it hard, coughing beneath his breath as his eyes did not leave her.
Seeing her here as a dignitary is not something that she had expected. And most especially not how she looked tonight, dressed up and looking like a queen that no one should defile or ruin her, a being almost ethereal, yet the command of her presence there was something that he had not seen when they were together. This was a first, seeing her in a different light.
Once their introduction was made, it made him feel somewhat inferior, as Draco remained somewhat close by, following her, watching her interact with the many that are crowding around of her or her other companions. The way he looked at her upon first glance was that of an intensity that would burn anyone if they had noticed.
She saw him, something that she had already half expected and was prepared for. What she will do about it, ignore him cleanly. She could feel that burning feel of someone looking in her direction, and a glance over at Shippo and Sesshoumaru was enough for her to know of their common annoyance at it.
She all but passed by him without a second look, even during the introductions they made it brief, but so did the three of them as they breezed past them onto the more important introductions that mattered. And along with that, they could also feel that burning gazed turned to be even more annoyed and angered at the treatment.
A drink was passed to her as soon as she left the crowd she was talking to. Kagome looked at it, and took it, but she did not bring the drink to her lips to take a sip.
"It's not poisoned."
"But there is still something extra added into it."
She glanced at him, and saw that looks flashed across his face, still so easily readable, as always.
"Well then Mr Malfoy, may we not bump into one another again," she ended their conversation briefly to walk away.
"And what if we do, again."
No answer, nothing.
