New Blood
Chapter 4
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.
===============
When Samantha returned to the Slytherin common room, Draco was waiting for her as she'd asked him to.
"So" he said, "how went the conversation with your mother?"
"Draco, I've something that I must tell you." Samantha took a deep breath and started "I have to tell you first that my family is a hybrid family."
"A hybrid of what type of creature?" Draco was intrigued.
"In the orient, there is a type of dragon called a Celestial Dragon." Samantha seemed to think for a moment. "What makes this dragon type so special is that it is a shape changer. It can take Human form. Remember when I was telling you about the bracelets that my grandmother sent to me that she got from her grandmother? Grandmother's Grandmother is a Celestial Dragon."
"What does that have to do with what's going on?" Draco asked.
"Well," Samantha paused for a moment "a side effect of my lineage is that when I find someone that is emotionally and physically compatible to me a bond is forged. I would tell you what my feelings are for you Draco, but you should know."
Draco thought about that for a few moments and then said "you feel for me, much like I've felt for you since the first date at Diagon Alley. But I've got a feeling there's something that you want to tell me but you're not sure if I can be trusted."
"NO." Samantha said. "I would trust you with my life. It's your father."
"Ah!" Draco said. "I understand."
Samantha searched Draco's face for a moment and then said. "Our families can go hang. If you ask me what I have to hide from you at the moment, I will tell you. I would need to beg you not to tell your father. But if you asked, I would tell you."
Draco was arguing with himself. On the one hand he had the nature to ask just because he had her at a disadvantage. On the other hand he had his feelings for her. "Maybe we should sleep on this." He finally said. "Tomorrow, between the two of us, we'll make the decision of whether or not I need to know."
===============
At breakfast the next morning, Samantha was rather silent. Finally, Draco walked up to her and said [I've decided. If given a choice between you and my father, he can go hang!]
The look on her face was one of relief. [I am glad that you decided to use telepathy to tell me that.] She said. [You can't lie mind to mind.]
[Did you know that my father wanted me to court you] Draco began [because he wanted to recruit your father for You-Know-Who?]
[Actually] Samantha said [Father wanted me to court you so that we could find more information about the death eaters.]
[Why would you want to know about THEM?] Draco was amazed.
[Because Father is working with a secret organization to try to bring down the downfall of You-Know-Who.] A look of mischief came across Samantha's face [I guess we backfired on both of them huh?]
[It would appear so.] Draco said. [So what do we do about it?]
[First,] said Samantha [we need to speak verbally to cover these silences. We must pretend that we were mad at each other so that we can cover how we can speak this way.]
"Samantha," Draco asked. "I was wondering. This weekend would you be interested in going into Hogsmeade with me?"
"I would be proud to Draco." Samantha said.
Down the table, Pansy got up and excused herself. She threw a look that could shrivel fresh fruit at Samantha and left in a hurry.
"I guess I just made a friend" Samantha said.
"From what I've seen, you can take her." Draco seemed to think for a moment, "just keep your eyes open."
The mail came flying in. A powder blue envelope was dropped to Samantha by a monkey faced owl.
[Mother works fast.] Samantha said.
[Hmm?] Draco asked.
[This letter gives me permission to tell you pretty much what I've already told you.] Samantha said. [He also want's me to talk you into helping resist you know who. I won't ask it of you. If you want to, we could probably end up Running this place, but I don't know if it would be wise.]
[The only way that I can help the resistance is to tell you what I know.] Draco said. [Father will kill me if he finds out.]
[Then we play a stalling and waiting game.] Samantha said. [I'm going to talk to Mom. I just found you. I'm not going to lose you now.]
[We've already said enough that Father will still try to kill me if he finds out.] Draco said.
[If he finds out, it will be either you or myself or my family who will have told him.] Samantha's eyes flashed. [If you're betrayed, then we take it. All of it.]
[Samantha, you're starting to scare me] Draco said. [But hold the thought.]

A/N: I think I'm beginning to fall into the trap that my brother often does. I would Highly appreciate suggestions as to where to go after this chapter. Thank you.
