Chapter Four:

"Well, Miss Tanner…" Draco started before Chloe's glare interrupted him.

"I go by Tanner, just Tanner."

Professor McGonagall looked up as there was a knock on the door and Snape entered. He spoke quietly with her for a few moments, and when she nodded, he motioned for Chloe to follow him.

"The Headmaster wishes to speak with you." he said when they reached the hallway in front of Dumbedore's office.

"Ah, Miss Tanner." Albus greeted her warmly when they entered his comfortable circular office.

"Headmaster. You wished to speak with me.?"

"Yes. You have been told, I'm sure, of the story we have used to cover your transfer?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good, but we need to…er…sort out your persona, so to speak."

"I have already done so, sir." Chloe answered.

Dumbeldore and Snape shared surprised glances, before returning their gazes to her. Albus bid her to continue with a wave of his hand.

"With all do respect, sir, it is my job. I am what most Americans would call a rebel. Unconventional in everything. I prefer to be called by may last name alone, and my attitude borders on sarcastic indifference. Severus assures me that my attitude, dress, and name will well suit the Slytherin House. There will be no doubts as to why I was placed there. Especially since I have won the attentions of one Draco Malfoy. I assume he is their leader, more or less?"

"More, I'm afraid. I am very please to hear this Miss Tanner, I suppose this meeting is over, then." Albus stood and Chloe smiled before turning. When she reached to door, however, she stopped. "Sir? May I ask one more thing of you?"

"Anything you wish my dear."

"A map?"

Albus studied her for a moment before softly chuckling. With a wave of his wand, a tattered old parchment appeared in her hand.

"Thank You, Sir."

"You are excused from the rest of your morning lessons in order to work on your appearance."

"Thank You. Good Day." with that, Chloe left the office.

Chloe again sauntered into class fashionably late. She winked at Snape as he took five points from Slytherin and told her to take her seat. Snape looked startled for a second before quickly recovering his facial mask.

"Tanner, I see you've, er, changed." Draco muttered as she took her seat next to him, allowing him to take in her shortened plaid skirt, shrunk blouse and loosely knotted tie, along with the many artfully placed rips and safety pins.

"I've had time to improve the uniform." Chloe whispered in his ear.

"Indeed you have." Draco smirked.

"Miss Tanner, Mr. Malfoy, is there something you'd like to bring to the attention of the class?" Snae hissed, he had snuck up behind them.

"Not at all, Snape."

Tanner:1, Snape:0.

There was a collective gasp from around the class. All the students were staring at Snape with an expression of utter horror.

"You will treat your elders with respect, Miss Tanner. Detention."

Tanner:1, Snape:1. Ouch!

"Oh, You can't be that old." Chloe purred, "Not if you look this good."

Tanner:2, Snape:1. HA!

"Two detentions, Miss Tanner, get out of my classroom." Snape hissed.

Tanner:2, Snape:2. Damn.

Chloe slowly rose out of her seat, she pretended to smile sweetly at the Professor as she sauntered across the room, letting certain male Slytherins have an excellent view of her 'assets.'

"See you later." she winked at Draco before closing to heavy door to the dungeons.

Final score for Round One; Tanner:3, Snape:2.

I win.
