Draco sat there wondering what his life would be like if he had been
married to Annie right now. He thought about what it would be like to have
a couple of kids, 'One day,' he thought, as a picture flitted across his
closed eyelids. 'Hell's bells, it might not turn out that bad, after all
she's a pure, and definitely younger. Hell, she could be the start of a new
life for me,' Draco added as he indulged that thought further.
Ken's voice cut across the empty room. "I know how she feels," he voiced his thought.
"Ginny?" Draco asked, confused from the half sleep he had just been in.
"No Romeo, Professor McDawson."
"Oh. Now, explain what you mean."
"Er, well you know how I was once the evil digimon emperor, almost as evil as the Dark Lord? She's also probably gone through all of the struggle of concious that I went through," Ken said, his eyes closed, memories of all that he had done as the Emperor playing in his mind.
"Ken, try not to think about the bad times, think about how happy you felt when you were close to defeating them," Wormmon said, such a mischievous look on his face that they all had to laugh.
"True but we're all over being evil little demons, and I doubt Annie would seriously join his side. I'm even thinking about starting over," Draco said, remebering the way Ginny looked as the wind blew through her hair.
"'O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?/ Deny thy father and refuse thy name;...'" Ken quoted, looking almost as mischievous as Wormmon had just looked.
"I guess you could say that. After all I'm doing that second part right now," Draco replied.
"Yea, all you need now is for you to be on the ground and her in a balcony over you. Now let's get some sleep, we start physical training tomorow," Ken said, stiffling a yawn.
Draco just yawned in reply.
"Good night," they both said at the same time.
***********************************************************************
"Good morning class. Now that we've all recovered from our first week of school, we begin our training. Longbottom, you do know that you're supposed to report to Madam Pomfrey?" Ivee said, looking around at the class, taking notice of Ginny and Draco sitting together, and the glares they were getting from Ron; to Neville looking pale yet, somehow looking stronger; to Viktor and Hermione, both looking tired yet relaxed and happy.
"I know, I just want to ask you who I could report to for private instruction," Neville said, a look of resolve on his face.
"If he doesn't object, I would like to teach him," Snape said, getting surprised and even incredulous looks from every one except Annie, who looked like she knew and had argued with him on this and lost; and Neville, who looked slightly suspicious.
"Thank you, I think," Neville said in reply.
"Don't worry, he doesn't bite too terribly often," Annie said, getting a mischievios glare from Snape.
Neville laughed as he looked from Snape to Annie, noticing that Annie had blushed slightly; then he left for the infirmary.
"Too show you what a real fight is supposed to look like, we will have a demonstration," Craig said as he rummaged around in a back cupboard.
"And our first match is between-," Ivee said looking at a clipboard she was holding.
"Don't leave us in suspense Ivee," Annie said lounging in a chair next to Snape.
"This is going to be interesting. Severus, Annie, your up," Ivee said, looking at the twosome with some thing like amusement on her face.
"Let's get this over with," Annie said, getting her sword from Craig.
By this time the whole class was paying attention.
"I hope I'm not too late," Dimbledore said as he walked in.
"You aren't," Craig said fixing a strap on Snape's sword belt.
"You mean, they're going at it?" Dumbledore said, looking between Annie and Snape.
"Yep," Ivee replied watching Annie as she did her warmups.
"This is going to be good," he said, his eyes twinkling mischieviously.
"Can we get this started?" Snape asked, partly to cover up Draco's sniggering.
"Remember, the match goes until one of you gives up," Ivee said, putting a hand on Annie's shoulder.
"Begin!" Craig said, as both he and Ivee sat behind the main desk.
"I hope you're familiar with defeat!" Annie said as she drew her sword.
"Not really," Snape replied as he countered Annies thrust.
They blocked, spun and cut for five minutes or so, until Snape disarmed Annie. "Give up?"
"Never!" She cried as she lunged and disarmed Snape.
They fought hand to hand for an additional five minutes, until Snape had finaly pushed Annie into a row of tables along a wall.
"Give up now?" Snape asked, panting.
"No," Annie replied as she pushed him off, spun, and pinned Snape where she just was. "Do you?"
"I give," Snape said as Annie backed off, knealing as was taught by his old training master.
"As much as I am flattered, you don't have to kneal like a knight before his queen," Annie said, holding out her hand to help.
"That's how I was trained. If we didn't kneal, our superior had the right to kill us," Snape said as he got up, holding on to Annie's hand.
"Sounds like something he'd do," Craig said, handing a bottle of water to the two warriors.
"Now let's see. Who would like to try this?" Ivee asked as she looked around the room.
Two hands shot into the air immediately; Draco's and Ron's. Annie and Snape both thought that it had to do with Ginny sitting next to Draco.
"I hope you don't mind being guenea pigs for this class," Craig said, mischievous.
Ginny added "Don't get hurt, both of you."
"Don't worry Ginny, Ron's only being a big brother," Tai said, glancing at Ken, Kari, and T.K..
"At least you know they love you," Matt added.
"True," Ginny replied as the boys were fitted with light padding.
"The rules are: no magic, no low blows, and like in the last match, you go until one of you gives. Any questions?" Craig said.
"Yes. What do you mean by-oh, never mind," Ron said, figuring out what Craig meant by "low blow"
"Got it? Now-BEGIN!" Ivee shouted.
They circled each other, wary.
"What is she too you?" Ron asked calmly as he side stepped Draco's pass.
"The start of a new life. In my old one, I'd probably already be married now."
"You would be married you mean," Ron said so that only Draco could hear.
"Potter told you?"
"Duh."
"Well those days are over. Like Shakespeare said, 'Deny thy father and refuse thy name...'"
"Oh, you might want to pay attention now, you're about to get pinned," Ron said drop-kicking and knocking Draco on to his rear.
"I give," Draco said.
"Need help?" Ron said a bit mischieviously, holding out his hand none the less.
Draco took it, a look of respect on both faces.
"Very good you two. You two must have had previous training," Annie said, watching as they both were checked over by Ginny.
"If you count having midnight duels and fistfights in the halls 'training'" Snape said with a derisive snort.
"I hate to say this, but the professor's right," Ron said.
"Too true Ron, too true," Hermione said, mock-glaring at Ron.
"Lay off, Hermes," Ron argued.
"Both of you," Ian interupted.
"We will start with warmups every day, or an ocasional demonstration. After that we will learn some new skill, or practice an old one. After that we will change, then Professor Snape and Professors McDawson will teach you how to make different amulets," Craig said looking-or rather glaring- around at the class.
"But first let's introduce what amulet's are," Snape said looking around at them all. "So why do I not see quills and parchment?" he added, more like the Snape most students knew.
"Amulets are usually worn as necklaces, much like mine right here," Annie said holding up her neck chain. On it hung a heavy gold coin, decorated with inlays of silver in a flame-like design. "My brother and Professors Rawlinson and Jaron also have amulets," Annie added as the trio she mentioned held up theirs. Ivee's had brass and jade inlays, Craig's was solid gold and engraved. Ian's had inlays of turqoise.
"Wait, Professor Ian's your brother? But I thought-," Parvati said as Lavender giggled.
"You thought wrong, miss Patil," Snape hissed as both Ian and Annie went into gales of laughter.
"It's all right Severus, we get that all the time," coming over to Snape and putting a hand on his arm, then colapsing in laughter again.
"After you have calmed down, you will note that Sna-," Craig said, then Ivee calmped a hand over his mouth, threatening him slightly with her wand. None the less; Draco, Harry, Ken and Ron laughed; while Hermione and Viktor just smiled at the indignant Snape and blushing Annie.
"Really, after you have calmed down, you will note the design of these types of amulets. They are the most common, and easiest to make. I should hear the scratch of quill on parchment," Ivee said, putting a laughing Annie into the chair next to her.
***********************************************************************
"Wouldn't that be real cool if we could put up a magical 'Romeo and Juliet'?" Ken asked that evening as he and Draco ate supper. He had gotten the idea last night as they were talking, the idea firmed as he watched the duel between Ron and Draco.
"Ginny and I could play the title characters," Draco replied, thinking.
"True, I could play the friar, and we could convince some of the professors to join us," Ken added, his eyes twinkling as he looked over the staff table.
"Are you thinking of putting on a production, boys?" Dumbledore asked behind them.
"Yes, as a matter of fact. Why do you ask?" Ken asked as he looked up.
"If you do the typical two production companies, I know who could play the second couple," Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.
"Who, though?" Draco asked.
"Maybe them?" Dumbledore said, pointing to the couple that had just came in. It was Snape and Annie.
"I think I know how to make it a comedy!" Draco whooped as they walked past, Annie leaving Snape to deal with his "house".
"What are you talking about?" Snape asked as Dumbledore walked away, smiling a mischievous smile.
"Just wondering what you would look like in tunic and hose," Ken said mysteriously.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Snape asked, starting to get anoyed.
"Nothing Professor," Ken said, looking a bit too innocent for Snape's comfort.
Snape walked away, Annie joining him again before they reached the staff table.
"What was that about?" Annie asked as she looked up at him.
"They were just being weird," Snape replied, glancing over at the his House.
"How?"
"They said something like wondering what I'd look like in tunic and hose," Snape said.
"That's interesting, Dumbledore just looked over at us and laughed," Annie said as she tried to figure something out.
"Why do I have the funny feeling that he knows something?" Snape asked.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," Annie said as she got up.
"May I help you?" Dumbledore said as Annie came up.
"What are you and the two Slytherin boys planning?" Annie asked, as innocent as a spring shower.
"A production of 'Romeo and Juliet'," he replied, looking just as innocent.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're almost as bad as the Weasly twins," Snape said, he had folowed Annie.
"Don't make any anouncements yet, I would like to speak to Ken and Draco," Annie said, turning so fast that her robes circled around her.
"May I speak to you outside?" Annie asked as she came up to Slytherin table.
"Yes Professor," they replied as they got up.
Snape was waiting outside. "Who exactly are you planning to cast as the title characters?" he hissed.
"Oh, you two maybe," Draco said, making Annie's jaw drop.
"Why, may I ask?" Annie asked, incredulous.
"You've all ready slept together, so why not?" Draco asked, watching as Annie just turned and looked up at Snape.
"We might as well tell the truth to them, they all ready know," Snape told her as he kissed her forehead.
Annie sighed, she had a feeling it was going to get difficult for her and Snape to get much alone time, now. "So who else knows," she said, praying to any listening god that it was a small group.
"Just us digidestined, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Viktor," Ken said.
"Don't forget Dumbledore and the other professors," Draco asked, loving the hell out of the shocked and anoyed expressions on the professors' faces.
"Why didn't I listen to Raeling, and stay in Texas were my father couldn't get me," Annie sighed, knowing for a fact, now, that things were going to difficult.
"Who's Raeling?" the trio of guys asked her.
"One of my wolf friends. Yes, I am an animagus, I can turn into a wolf form," she replied, heartily wishing that she HAD listened to her wolf friend.
"Oh."
***********************************************************************
"Are you sure, Sirius? I mean- well that's harsh," Remus Lupin asked, looking shocked, disgusted, and incredulous.
"I'm certain. Besides, animals can't lie," Sirius answered, looking very outraged. "I knew the McDawson clan, Joan-Annie's mother-was one of my closest friends over the summers, When she told me that she was betrothed to a guy that had a son that was five years younger than her, I was bloody damn pissed."
"Watch your language," Remus said slightly smiling, He was remembering girls he had also met over the summer, in fact he and Sirius were the only guys in their circle that met any girls over the summer.
"I know, but it's hard to say goodbye," Sirius said, sitting down. Lani came over and put her head on his knee, trying to comfort him. "She told me when Annie was born that Annie's father was a mistake. Little did I know what she fully meant," he added, his eyes bright with unshead tears.
"Her death will be avenged, Sirius. The Dark Lord will be defeated. Maybe not this year, but he WILL be defeated. If my thinking is correct, the new Defense teachers are the Four Elements, and legend has it that they can vanquish demons, and use the Old Powers, plus the fact that Rawlinson and Jaron are the worlds best martial artists." Remus said, remembering a legend he had heard.
"Just one question; what are the Old Powers?" Sirius asked, his arm around Lani's shoulders.
"The old religion that was the root of our name today, Wicca. Rumour has it that they don't need wands to work some spells, all they need are there minds. Rumour also has it that they are almost as strong as Harry, without wands; and with. One of them is psychic, another can make weather. Their water, he can freeze things just by looking at them. Earth's aim is so good it's unnatural; she's been called the daughter of a god and of a demon. She's part Veela, and she can control how much of that magic she let's out. But to tell the truth, I'm glad that they're here instead of in the United States.
Ken's voice cut across the empty room. "I know how she feels," he voiced his thought.
"Ginny?" Draco asked, confused from the half sleep he had just been in.
