Chapter 3: Facing Albus
She soon finished her breakfast and kept her eye on the golden-eyed boy. Watching him leave she gestured for Snape to follow her as she left.
"So Nin, what word did you not know?"
She kept her eyes ahead and replied calmly, "Snog."
Severus let out a strangled choke and turned red.
"Who said that to you," he demanded.
"Just a nice man I met yesterday," she replied nonchalantly.
"Well. it means. uh. I think it's what you Americans call making out."
"Oh, I see." She spotted the boy she was trailing and calmly strode up to him. Locking him in a deep kiss, she didn't even pause till she realized he was kissing back, and not a bad kisser at that. The boy had backed her into a wall and was leaning into her, which she had to say she didn't mind much either. He pulled away slightly to catch his breath.
She pulled her up next to his ear and whispered softly, "I know what it takes to bring down a wolf." She kissed his cheek as he stepped away from her looking scared. The four boys in the hallway all looked at her strangely.
"Like that Sevie?" she said turning to Severus.
"Um, Nin? You just snogged one of my tormentors in the transfiguration hallway in front of me. Why?"
"Easy I wanted to fully understand the art of snogging, so I took the first victim in sight."
"Wasn't Snape in your sight first?" pointed out a small mousy boy.
She glared at the boy then gave her best Magonagal voice, "five points from Griffendor for not allowing your over-worked friend to have some fun."
"You-you can't do that," he glared back.
"Maybe not but watch me try." She turned to the tawny haired boy, "Eltanin K. Dumbledore. You?"
"Remus Lupin," he said shaking her hand, "The one you scared is Peter Pettegrew, the one with glasses is James Potter, and the one glaring at me because he thinks your cute and can tell that you're a pretty good snog is Sirius Black."
"Drake meets Dog," she said out loud not bothering to cover her amusement at meeting someone else named after a star. "Tell me, is it common for you to have that glare when one of your friends are snogging."
Sirius stepped right up to her and calmly grinned, "Only when the one snogging is the most beautiful Drake alive."
She blushed at his comment then turned her head slightly, "Potter! You seem like the sanest one here, could you escort me to the headmasters office." She glared around the hallway, "Alone."
"But Nin!" Severus interrupted.
"But nothing Sev, you go to class."
"Mr. Potter?"
"Sure I will, if you don't try to snog me on the way," came his smirking reply.
"That I can promise. Bye Sevie! Bye Dog! Bye Wolf-boy." With that she walked off with James Potter.
After a few minuets of silence James became uneasy. "So," he started up, "you're related to professor Dumbledore."
She rolled her eyes. "Aren't you the observant one. Really James what brought you to this conclusion," her sarcasm was almost over the edge as they found the gargoyle guarding the headmasters office. "Cherry cordial."
James followed her up the stairs ignoring her glare.
"How good of you to see me Eltanin dear," Eltanin looked up at Dumbledore with eyes that would have been considered fearful if it weren't for the spite that raged in them. "James," Dumbledore continued, "would you wait outside. I need to talk to you."
They went inside and sat down. Dumbledore made no move to put a silencing charm on the door, 'James needs to hear this' he thought to himself.
"Albus," there was little trace of love in her voice.
"I missed you princess."
"Well you never seemed much for visiting, Albus. Only fair that I not try either."
"Cherry cordial?"
"No."
"So how was your trip?"
"Hell."
"Is that so?" his eyes were sparkling with all the mischief of a marauder. "You seem to have a mark on your neck proving that you had a good time yesterday."
"Where?" she felt her neck in a state of panic.
He laughed, "Two inches below your ear, dear. You can't see it unless you tuck your hair behind your ear."
"That's not fair granddad," she pouted. "What I allow people to do to me is my business, that and you know I tuck my hair behind my ear when I'm nervous."
"What are you nervous about Princess?"
"You," she spit out viciously. The abrupt change in her voice frightened the eavesdropping James.
There was a pause in which Dumbledore looked at her sadly.
"You and your stupid war! They died because of YOU! A-and you didn't even attend the funeral! What kind of father are you to not attend your son's funeral. I know you never liked my mother but you could have shown some respect! You could have been there; it was your fault they died. If you hadn't waged war with a mad man, then Voldmort wouldn't have any reason to kill them! I hate you! I wish I never have to see you again but life doesn't work that way does it. I'm in your custody till the end of the school year. I'll do as I'm told but that doesn't mean I like you or this place in any way! Goodbye Albus." With that she stalked over to the door and violently yanked it open. A shocked James jumped quickly out of her path and stared into the room.
"Come in James," Albus said from his desk.
"Sir?" he asked cautiously
"I assume you heard my granddaughter." James nodded. "Then you'll understand why I need someone to watch her. I'm afraid she'll do something dangerous to spite me. She's that way. Be kind to her and keep her out of trouble."
"I'll do, any thing else you want to talk about?"
"Yes as you know Voldmort..."

Hi! I know you all hate me now but I'm not going any further on James conversation with Albus. They're just going to talk about the Order of the Phoenix anyway. I feel no need to go into that yet. It will come up later in the story though. Love you all I'm waiting for reviews!
