New Blood
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: These characters belong to J. K. Rowling with one or two notable exceptions that I'm putting into the story to interact with them. I write these stories for fun and they are not intended to infringe on the published works of the author noted above.
A/N: This story is set during the year five. J. K. Rowling does all of her stories from the Dream Team's point of view. This will be set from the point of view from selected characters on the Slytherin side of things. Just so the Purists know, this is an AU fic.
Symbology: 'something surrounded in single quotes always means someone is thinking.' Something surrounded in [square brackets] means telepathic communication is going on.
---------------
That Monday the students who signed up for the self-defense class found a new suit of clothes in their sizes when the mail was delivered the day of class.
Breakfast announcements included the announcement that Students were to wear those clothes when they came to their class that was to be scheduled at 8 o'clock Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
---------------
That evening the students entered the great hall. The tables had been pushed and stacked along the side walls and the floor was covered in some kind of matting. Professor and Miss Grey entered from opposite sides. Each wearing a base gray-colored material and red colored Sashes. The Sashes matched the design of those the students had with their uniforms.
Professor Grey spoke up. "As my assistant has already taught her house-mates how to tie their sashes. She will take them to the side and begin their stretching techniques. Everyone else come with me to the front of the room."
Most of the Slytherin students in the class wasn't used to the type of physical stretching that is required in a martial arts class but when they were finished with the first class and realized just how much fun the class could be they came around. Especially when they realized that the assistant instructor of the class was one of their house-mates and was willing to work with any one of them so that they could get ahead of the Gryffindors.
---------------
As they got back to their common-room, Draco walking Samantha he was complaining. "I've never hurt so badly in my life."
"It does take some getting used to." Samantha said. "Look at it this way, it will keep you in shape for when Quidditch starts."
"I've not worked this hard since before Flint graduated." Draco said.
Samantha looked outraged. [Are you comparing me to Marcus Flint?]
[Of course not.] Draco thought back. [You're much better looking than he was.]
[Right.] was the only response he received from that.
[Would I do this to Marcus Flint] Draco leaned in and kissed her.
Samantha broke out laughing. Draco was just beginning to be insulted when he heard [I would hope you wouldn't do that to Marcus Flint. I thought you had better taste than that.]
Draco began laughing too. Then a feeling hit them both.
[What was that?] Draco thought.
[Draco,] said Samantha. [Do you realize you just sent telepathically on your own?]
[What?] Draco was confused then he said, [I did didn't I?]
[I need to talk to Mother about this. I'll be right back.] Samantha said and she ran out of the common room.
---------------
"Mother!" Samantha yelled as she entered the DADA teacher's office.
Professor Grey who was sitting in full Lotus position floating about 6 inches above her desk looked up at her daughter and said "Yes?"
"Remember when you told me about the way that you and Grandmother picked your husbands?" Samantha asked.
"You mean it's happened to you?" Professor Grey thumped to the desk as she lost her concentration. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"Draco Malfoy." Samantha didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mother will be insufferable when she hears that." Professor Grey fell into a voice imitating a much older person "'I told you, Lucius Malfoy is Irredeemable. His son is the one you want to get on the good side of.'"
"Remind me to have a long talk with Grandmother." Samantha brightened. "Maybe she can take over for Proffessor Trelawney?"
"Sorry darling," her mother said. "She's busy. That's why she sent you your bracelets."
"Mother," Samantha said, "is it absolutely necessary for me to continue with the plan? If Grandma is correct, I can tell Draco anything. Please don't make me lie to him."
"I will speak to your father." Professor Grey said. "He has allies here that will need to make this decision." After reflection, as Samantha was getting ready to leave she said "follow your heart daughter. If you feel you can tell him, then your father's allies don't matter. "If you choose him over the mission or if you are wrong in your opinion of him, then your father's life and the lives of many of his allies including young Mr. Potter are on the line."
"Mother." Samantha said. "If I choose him over the rest of you, and I'm wrong in my opinion of him. I'm sorry to say, but England will make a very good Kingdom for the two of us." Then she left to return to the Slytherin Dungeons.

A/N: I'm sorry that this is so short. I'm sorta busy right now and don't have the time to dedicate to writing that I usually would do. Thank you for reading. And Please continue to review as you go.
