Disclaimer: Gee, I've told you this TWICE already. *looks at the lawyers behind her* Well, 'ahem', I, Maarja, do not own Harry Potter! It's quite obvious, don't you think?



Chapter 2

.....:::::::: Gryffindor House Table, Breakfast ::::::::....

"Harry, you really should tell Dumbledore about you scar! If it really did hurt, then He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may be near and the whole school would be in danger! Harry! Harry? Are you listening to me?" Hermione pushed Harry.

"Huh? What? Oh. I'll go to him later, after the classes." Harry answered.

"Ok, if you're sure then let it be so," Hermione said looking doubtingly at Harry.

"Harry?"

"What is it, Ron?"

"Look at that Kou-girl; she seems to be weird today. Maybe she felt it too?"

"Ron, are you nuts? She may look 'weird' because of something else,"

"Harry, Ron, we should *really* get going! Look at the time!"

"Bloody hell! The History of Magic classroom is on the other side of the school!"

....:::::::: Transfiguration Class, Same Day ::::::::....

"Now, class, today we are going to change ourselves into animals. All you have to say is 'Transfiguro' and think of the animal you'd like to be. And *please* don't mess anything up," McGonagall looked at Neville, "cause it may be *very* dangerous to your looks."

Malfoy snickered.

"Oh, Mr. Malfoy, would you like to try the spell first?"

"I really hope he screws something up," Ron whispered to Harry.

"Me too," Harry said and grinned as he saw the look on Draco's face.

"O-of course Professor," Malfoy stood up and said 'Tranfiguro'.

Suddenly there was no Draco Malfoy standing there.

Instead of him there was a snake who was hissing on the floor.

"Very good, Mr. Malfoy. You can change back now."

Everyone heard the snake hissing and then there was Draco standing right where the snake had been.

He sat back to his place next to Angelique.

"Impressed, Kou?"

"Nope."

"Professor?"

"Yes, Ms. Kou?"

"Could I try next, Professor?"

"Of course, Ms. Kou."

Angelique stood up and said the spell.

Suddenly something came over her and she couldn't think of the animal, someone took her mind over.

And she turned into that someone - she turned into Voldemort.

She felt that evil power take over her; she felt that he was talking through her.

Angelique *heard* him talking through her.

She heard someone screaming.

And there was someone who said a spell.

Then it was over.

Angelique turned back to Angelique and fainted.

Harry looked at her in horror - why or how did she turn into Voldemort?

"Ron, RON!" He whispered and touched the place where he thought that Ron's shoulder should be.

There was nothing.

Harry looked at the place where Ron was sitting and saw that he had fainted.

'Gee, Ron, you're sure brave,' He thought and looked back at Prof. McGonagall.

She seemed still quite shocked, but recovered and told a Gryffindor boy to take Angelique to the Hospital Wing, but he refused to touch 'the heir of Voldemort' which she obviously wasn't.

Draco stood up, "I'll take her to the Hospital Wing, Professor."

"Alright, Mr. Malfoy. The class is dismissed."



....:::::::: Dumbledore's Office ::::::::....

"So Ms. Kou turned into Voldemort?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, Albus and she fainted after I put a spell on her so she would change back to herself."

"Really. And what exactly did she say while being Voldemort? Did she speak with her voice or somebody else's?"

"It wasn't her voice, I'm sure. It was a man's voice. She - or he - was talking about killing someone, some princess and said that he'd already killed her race, so it couldn't be hard to kill a helpless girl. Could it be Voldemort talking through her? Would a seemingly peaceful and polite girl like her really turn into Voldemort on her own will?"

"I don't know, Minerva, I don't know. But I do know who he was talking about and if I am right, then she wasn't talking on her own will."

"Albus. Why did you accept her in our school? Didn't you sense anything evil inside her? Why couldn't she stay at her last school? In the Royal School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

"Because there isn't a Royal School of Witchcraft and Wizardry anymore. This summer something very horrible happened and our Ms. Kou lost everyone she knew, whether she cared of them or didn't. You don't understand what I'm talking about, Minerva, but you'll find out. I promise that."

"Alright, Albus. I'll go now."

"Fine. And send Mr. Potter in while you're there. He seems to be waiting for some time."

Harry saw the door to Dumbledore's office open and Prof. McGonagall came out.

"You may go there now, Mr. Potter," McGonagall said and left.

Harry nodded and entered the room.

"Oh, hello, Harry. So what did you want to talk about?"

"Professor Dumbledore, um, my scar hurted last night and Hermione insisted that I would come and talk to you."

"It's very good that you came, Harry. As you know, it usually means that Voldemort is near or that he's using a lot of magic. This time I dare to say that he rather used a big amount of magic, for I haven't sensed anything evil near Hogwarts. So, Harry,did you want to talk about anything else too?"

"No, sir."

"Are you sure, Harry?"

"Well, I did want to ask something-"

"About Ms. Kou, right?"

"Yes, Professor."

"I should tell you, Harry, that Ms. Kou isn't a Voldemort supporter. She hates him and I know why. I'm sorry, Harry, but that's all I can tell you about her."

"Thank you, Professor. If I may, then I'll get going. Hermione and Ron are waiting for me in the library."

"Yes, go, I'm sure that they are anxious to see you."

"Thank you, sir."

With that, Harry left the room.



...:::::::: Library ::::::::....

"So, Harry, did you find out anything about that Angelique?" Ron asked.

"Not much, Dumbledore only said that she isn't a Voldemort supporter, he said that she hates him, but didn't say why."

"Oh. That isn't much help, is it? Guess we have to find it out ourselves."

"But, 'Mione, I don't think that there is a book about Angelique in this library?"

"Ron, you are so childish sometimes. We don't need a book to find out something about Angelique, we can ask someone too you know."

"Hermione, I don't think that anyone knows about her secret except her and Dumbledore. I heard Dumbledore and McGonagall talk about her and he even didn't tell her anything important about Angelique. There was something, but I couldn't hear it, they were talking too quietly."

"Too bad. But maybe we could ask Angelique herself?"

"Ron, you didn't see that slap she gave Malfoy, did you? I definitely DON'T want to experience that."

"Yeah, Harry. Umm. Why are everyone looking at us?"

"They are? They *are* looking at us. Wonder why?"

"Oh they are only watching you because you were talking about me and I accidentally heard every word you said." A voice came behind them.

Ron made a scared face at Harry and Harry answered him with worse fear in his face.

They knew who was behind them and it definitely won't be nice to see what she was going to do with them.

They looked around and saw a tall and furious girl behind them.

"You may *want* to find something out about me, but unfortunately I will personally take care that you wouldn't. Believe me, if I'd tell you, you'd have to die." And she left the library.

"Whoa, we were lucky for sure," Ron grinned at Harry.

"Wait. Where's Hermione?"

"Who? 'Mione? She probably went to search for an 'interesting' book to read. Come on, let's find her and go back to the Gryffindor Common Room, I'd really like to go to sleep early. Too many shocks for today I guess."



....:::::::: 31st October, Halloween ::::::::....

Angelique had been going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for over a month now.

She didn't have friends and she didn't want any either.

Angelique could see how desperately Draco wanted to be her friend; it often seemed that he wanted to be more than a friend for her.

But Angelique couldn't let that happen.

She ignored Draco in every possible way and tried to make him hate her, though she never succeeded.

But still, there was someone who listened to her and was like a father to her.

He knew of her secret and she knew his.

It wasn't Dumbledore, she felt guilty when she talked to Dumbledore, even if she hadn't done anything bad.

It was Snape.

After the incident on September 1st, he seemed to be interested in her(AN: No, not in *that* way!) and when Angelique accidentally saw the Death Eaters tattoo on his hand, he had told her everything about it and in exchange Angelique told him about her little secret.



....:::::::: The Great Hall, Halloween Dinner ::::::::....

Draco looked around him, bored.

He had just told Pansy Parkinson that what he really thought of her and she was mad at him now.

Crabbe and Goyle - they were never interesting to be with, they were too thick to be interesting and besides, they were eating now.

'Well, at least I can concentrate on Angelique now.'

Yes, he liked that girl who sat in front of him. But she didn't seem to be interested in him, she ignored him.

Draco looked at the Head Table.

'Interesting, where's Snape?'

He saw Angelique stand up and go towards the doors to the Great Hall, she was probably leaving.

At the same moment Snape came in and stopped Angelique.

~* Snape's and Angelique's Conversation*~

"Where do you think you're going, Angelique?"

"I'm bored, Professor and I'm tired."

"Well, why don't you entertain yourself? Young Malfoy is interested in you, I can see it."

"Professor, you know why I can't do this. Do you want him to get killed?"

"No, Angelique, I don't want him to get killed. And Voldemort won't kill him because of his father."

"You can never be too sure of what that monster would do. Please, could I just go? I'd like to have a nap, I've been seeing nightmares or rather my past lately and I couldn't get any sleep. Please, Professor?"

"Alright, Angelique, I'll let you go. Take care."

"Thank you, sir. I'd hug you but I don't think that's allowed."

"It's ok. Go now and have some sleep."



~*With Harry, Ron and Hermione*~

"Look, Hermione, Ron, Snape's talking to Angelique! Wonder, what's he saying?"

"Probably nothing important, Harry. He seems to be stopping her from leaving. That's all." Hermione said looking at the two figures by the doors.

"Yeah, he's always so cold towards people, don't think he's saying something important or nice to her." Ron added.



~*With Draco*~

'Snape arrived. What is he saying to Angelique? Nothing important, I guess. But who knows. Angelique. Hmm. Wonder where she sleeps, not in the 5th year Girls' Dorm, Pansy told me. Guess I have o find out on my own.'

A plan crept up his mind and he was going to make it true this night.
