Karien looked around, then took a seat across from Draco. Smirking over at
him, he spoke. "I can't believe your school uses such an old-fashioned way
of Sorting.."
Draco glared a little bit, yet smiling a little. "Yeah, yeah."
Karien yawned a little as he started in on his dinner. "Who's the deputy headmaster of our house then, eh?"
Draco gestured up towards the teacher's table. "Professor Snape. He's the Potions Master.. he used to want the Defense Against the Dark Arts job, but sense his wife - that's the woman next to him - started here at Hogwarts and got that job last year, he seems satisfied with where he is."
Karien glanced up at Snape, the man with long black hair, pale skin, and menacing dark eyes. Next to him were two women, but he presumed the one on his left was his wife, due to her dark hair, violet eyes, and dark attire. "He looks right friendly." Karien grinned.
"He is, he is. Seems to end up helping Potter quite a bit though. Not in school or anything, but a lot of teachers have been out to kill Potter - possessed by the Dark Lord and all." Draco picked up his fork.
"Oi.. can't say I blame them." Karien smiled nastily. "Wish Voldemort had gotten rid of him while he could."
Draco looked up at the boy and lowered his voice. "Are you.. a Death Eater.. perhaps?"
Karien only grinned again, which gave Draco his answer. No need to say it, but he was pleased. This Karien boy was alright after all.
A rustle of feet caught their attention as most of the others where getting under tables - Peeves was out and about, and throwing food. A few well- aimed Pumpkin Pasties [or whatever they're called.. Pumpkin Patsies?] hit Draco. Karien caught on to what was happened, and managed to block some of the food aimed at him with a plate before it hit.
Within minutes, the Bloody Baron, Slytherin's ghost, had driven Peeves out. With a few groans and more rustling, the students all crawled out from their hiding places and returned to dinner.
Draco, having had enough that night, stood, glancing to Karien. "I'm going to go take a bath. I don't fancy being sticky all night.. I'll see you later in the commons room?"
"Sure." Karien smiled a bit up at Draco, and returned to dinner as the blonde walked away. 'Goodness' he thought. 'I hope that's not an every night occurrence.'
[Author's notes: Okay, I guess it's getting along alright. It's obviously going to be quite some time before Draco and Karien hook up, especially because Draco has no romantic interest in the boy at all yet. So, uh, tell me what you think, before I give up my fanfictioning career and run away to become an exotic dancer ~ !]
