Angel smiled slightly, "Severus owled me last week hinting that there would be an opening soon. And poor Barty failed at his task, and at life." Angel shrugged quietly. "It was nice to see all of you. I hope that we can talk at Breakfast that is if you don't find my presence too discouraging."
Draco smiled in relief, so his sister wasn't vanishing off after a few hours. "Father, Mother may I be excused?"
"Of course Draco. Don't cause too much trouble for your sister. No doubt she is exhausted from her travels." Narcissa kissed Angel's cheeks, "my precious daughter home at last. We will find some way to properly celebrate your homecoming."
"Thank you mother." Angel smiled her thanks to Lucius and then walked quickly to her private rooms.
Draco watched his parents for a few minutes, noticing that they both had seen the same thing different about Angel. Following Angel, Draco could tell that she was keeping things hidden. And he was determined to protect his sister from prying schoolmates. The last time he remembered seeing his sister, she didn't carry the walking stick, and she didn't seem quite as pale and weak looking.
Angel approached her door and muttered a word softly, "release." The spell which had provided her with a mask of beauty, revealed the shadows from little to no sleep for many months. Entering her room she smiled slightly, nothing had been changed during her absence. True the bedding had been freshly washed, surfaces dusted, and not a speck of dust in sight. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Angel relaxed for a few seconds.
Draco approached Angel's room, the door was closed, being unsure if the closed door was a good sign or bad, Draco knocked softly on the door, "sister, may I come in and visit?" A sound that reminded him of a tired sigh sounded before the door swung open.
"Of course you may visit Draco, I'll always be happy to receive a visit from my little brother. Are you still mother's little dragon?" Angel smiled briefly as Draco strode into the room.
"Just as you shall always be Father beautiful dark angel." Draco sat beside his sister, "I missed you this past year. I would have preferred you as the Dark Arts Professor then that nut-case Moody. He turned me into a white ferret."
"Yes I heard a bit about that, Minerva had to help you." A slight smile crossed her face, "perhaps next week we can go to Diagon Alley, I want a white ferret so we can torment the classes a bit."
"Emmy missed you; I visited her when I was home on break. Currently the house elves are giving her dinner." Draco paused, "shall I fix you a sleeping potion?"
"No, I have a vial of potion which will help me sleep for tonight. But first I should let Albus know what my answer is."
"Are you really going to accept a position at Hogwarts?" Draco asked, "no one professor has taught D.A.D.A. for more then a year since Harry Potter started."
"Draco you underestimate me. I'm going to teach Mr. Potter a lesson he won't forget. Never doubt a woman's plan. I'll put them all off guard, no attacks from the Dark Lord. And hopefully I'll be able to teach for an entire year." Angel stood carefully and walked over to where the Hogwarts owl was sleeping. "Thank you for coming friend." She murmured softly as she opened the letter.
Dear Miss Malfoy, It has been brought to my attention by members of the staff that you will make a wonderful teacher. We are looking for someone to teach Defense Against Dark Arts. We would very much like for you to be a part of the staff this year. Send reply by owl post, and we hope to see you early in August.
Albus Dumbledore Headmaster
"Please accept, it will be fun to have you as a teacher. Knocking the Gryffindors off their high horses." Draco smirked slightly, "and you can annoy Professor Snape even more."
"Of course I'll accept more family togetherness options. Also this way Dad and I can keep in touch easier." Angel took a sheet of parchment and wrote her reply. Shaking the owl awake, she offered him the reply letter and then opened the window so he could take off back to Hogwarts.
"Why do they want to see you in August?" Draco asked.
"So I can meet with the other teachers and prepare my office and classroom. Also it will give me a chance to prepare lessons and compare notes with Severus about certain students." Angel laughed softly, "Perhaps I can ride the train out with you and your friends."
"Angel any time spent with you will no doubt be entertaining. Just be careful around Potter, Weasley, and Granger." Draco stated simply, "Father will be most upset if they are the cause for your leaving Hogwarts."
"Draco don't worry so much. I doubt those three will be the cause for any decision I come to for leaving Hogwarts." Angel sat down at her dresser and began brushing her hair.
"I hope you don't have to leave Hogwarts at all." Draco paused and then took the brush from Angel, "I'll do that, it was something I missed doing for you the past two years." Draco brushed the tangles out of her hair, and left it shining and perfect.
"I'll tell you something, its part of my good news. The Dark Lord has let me go, I'm still a shadow speaker, but I can do it when I feel like it. He is letting me have time to fix my illness. So that when I am assigned another task, I will be ready for it." Angel smiled, "perhaps two years of teaching."
"That's wonderful news Angel. I'm happy for you, and even if you don't teach for more then a year. We can still spend time together." Draco hugged Angel and then backed away quickly, embarrassed by the show of emotion.
"Or visit at Hogsmeade. I'll send you gifts this time I promise. I have a perfect gift for you for start of term." She smiled, "now out, I'm going to get changed and then get some sleep."
Draco nodded, "night Angel, sleep well. Shall I send a house elf up later to unpack?"
"No mother and father will unpack my trunks. They received the instructions two days ago." Angel smiled tiredly, "over protective brother."
"Beautiful sister. You should have owled me at school and let me know you were returning." Draco frowned, "it would have been nice."
"Yes it would have been nice, but it would ruin the surprise." Angel smiled, "it was good to see you here though. Next year will be a good year." She then let Draco leave and close the door. 'Beautiful sister indeed.' She thought to herself as she changed into a simple night dress and dug through a trunk and produced a vial of pale blue liquid. "Sleep tight." Angel murmured before drinking and crawling into bed and drifting off to sleep.
A/N Yes it has been revealed that Draco has a heart. Angel is about 25; she attended classes at Hogwarts at an early age. (10-17) Draco is about eight years younger, but still dotes on his big sister.
