August 22, 1997
Back at Hogwarts. Yipee. Snape, to put it mildly, is pissed, that I have joined. He still doesn't want to believe me that I'm not on his side. Of course, the fact doesn't help that I'm not on Potter's side, either. To tell the truth, I'm not sure what side I'm on, but it sure as hell isn't Potter's. The only side I'm on is Kori's, and even then, she doesn't know herself. She, like I, is one of the darker followers of Wicca. She because she's a werewolf, and I-I because I simply don't know.
I guess when it comes down to it, I will remain loyal to the Phoenix in some aspects, and to the Dragon in others. I will say one thing, I deffinately don't plan on remaining purely loyal to either side. I will preserve lives, but, I will also help the Dark Lord, if only to maybe let him see that not everything he's doing is for the good of those with pure blood.
Another suprise-Virginia Weasly owled. She's saying that she's beggining to have weird dreams of my lord. I have a suspicion that she might join. I need to tell Weasly, just so she doesn't hurt herself. Yet another surprise- my heart isn't made out of ice.
*~*~*~*~*
Draco shut his diary, pushing himself of his bed. The sun was just beggining to rise, he could tell from the window on the lake getting brighter. He could see the large fish swimming around, smiling as they found a smaller fish to feed on.
"I guess it's a fish-eat-fish world out there," a lilting voice said, giggling. "Surprise, Draco."
"Kori? But what the bloody hell are you doing down here? I thought for sure you'd be placed in Gryffindor-" He spun, he eyes resting on a black robed figure. Her dark brown, curly hair was pulled back, and her open robe revealed a teal tank and black jeans and boots. Her terra cotta lips were smirking at his surprise.
"You forget, I'm a teacher here, now."
"You are?"
"Yep. Defense Against the Dark Arts. Not that you or Potter need any." She grinned, flopping on the couch.
Draco moved from his door frame to sit next to her. "Golden boy seems to know just how to get in and out of trouble. I hope it kills him one day."
"Drake, chill-"
"Before you get your rosary beads out-I get it." He chuckled. "How many times did you use that on me, this summer?"
"So far, thirty four." She grinned, taking her hair down.
Draco pulled her closer, finger brushing her hair. He knew she was tense, despite her outward appearance, and had learned that doing anything with her hair would relax her. "Nervous about becoming a teacher?"
"You bet I am. I also sense two canine forces here, but I can't tell if they're benevolent for the life of me." She sighed, leaning against his broad chest. "Thank you, Draco."
"Thank him for what? Trying to seduce the pants off you?" The voice was cold and silky.
Kori spun, unsheathing her sword in the same motion. "Who are you?"
Severus moved from the shadows, a cold smirk on his face. "Severus Snape, at your service. And you?"
"Kori Selene Delano. Professor of Defense."
"Ah, so your the new-professor." Severus walked around her, ignoring the growls from Draco and her as he apraised her. "You're a little to skinny, for my taste. But you're healthy-"
She lunged as soon as he was in front of her. "Lecherous bastard. I should rip your heart out with a spoon." Her sword arm was caught, and her free arm pinned behind her as the older man spun, pressing her against a wall. "Let me go!"
"Not until you tell me what your connection is."
"Connection to what? I'm neutral in this bloody war."
"You're a terrible liar."
"Snape, let her go. Her only crime was befriending me. She truly is neutral on this. The majority of the States don't even know he's back. She only did because she met me." Draco stood, his muscles flexing under his undershirt.
"Humph." He let her go, glaring at her, then turned to Draco. "And you. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
"Then what am I up to."
"Snape, leave the lad be. Do you even know how Lucius treats him?" Kori asked, sheathing her sword. "I doubt that Draco would want to spend more than a few months at a time with his father. I sure wouldn't."
Severus sighed, flopping on the couch. "So you're not entirely loyal to Him?"
"Not entirely. And I'm not entirely loyal to the Phoenix."
"I hate it when people do the unexpected."
"Get used to it, Snape. You'll get plenty of that with me and Serpentina."
Draco laughed. "If you're a wolf, why are most of your friends serpents?"
"Because they are." She laughed with him, sitting on another couch. "I miss my friends allready."
"Especially one certain little alien, eh?" Draco teased, sitting next to her on the couch she ocupied.
"Only partly. I am, however, halfway glad that I did leave him. He can probably take care of things better than I can." She relaxed as he started brushing her hair again. "And pardon me if I start shedding-it's almost the full moon."
"Remind me to convince your mum to take off that damn charm. It would be alot easier on all of us." He grinned down at her.
Something buzzed, and she sighed. "Sorry, folks. But my friend calls. It seems that she and I need to talk to Dumbledore and McGonnagall." She stood, giving the younger teen a hug. "Take care-and don't do anything foolish." She walked out, and Draco decided to settle in.
