" Don't move!" hissed Voldemort. A loud smack and she went crashing through the table face first onto the cold stone floor. " You can't do anything right! Can't even make a bed, you stupid girl! FIX IT!" He boomed. She scrambled to her feet and jolted towards the bed smoothing the top corner. She spun to look at him and saw a wand pointed in her face, then a rush of pain shot through her face, like a million bee stings. She fell to her knees clutching her face her eyes filled with water. She let out a cry of pain and continued to stare him down. The pain stopped suddenly and she began to pant still clutching her face as if she expected the pain to come back. " I'm sick of your slacking off...you'll never be as good as me, or even your sister! I don't even know why I keep you around anymore! You good for nothing little brat, can't even take a bit of pain! WHAT!?" raged Voldemort. A look of pure terror suddenly struck her face as she felt the warmth trickling down her cheek." Your crying! weakling!" He gave her a swift kick the the stomach and knelt down next to her trembling body as she buckled over and stared at the ground waiting for the next blow." You're just an inconvienence now, just another chore. I can't teach some one as weak and useless as you, little girl. I could easily dispose of you this very moment." He put his hand on her chin and forced her to look up at him, though she didn't resist. " But...you are very pretty... I may have one more use for you." He crooned soothingly. His grip on her chin got very tight and the stinging went back into her face. "st.....aahp" she gasped. " what was that?" he demanded " N-n-othing" she stammered. " You are a very lucky little girl." He hissed, realising his grip and letting the pain go. He rose and whipped around rushing out, leaving his daughter breathing heavily on the floor.
Voldemort's thin slit-like eyes focused on the thin well-dressed blonde man entering the doors and making his way swiftly to him. " ahhh...hello Lucius." Voldemort said rather pleased seeing that Lucius looked nervous. " Master." Lucius, dropping to one knee and bowing his head infront of the throne where Voldemort sat contently. " You have been good to me, loyal, even those 11 years it looked like there was no hope for my revival, I lost many followers those years. You are the one I know will always follow." Voldemort paused. " Yes...I will always master." Lucius agreed. " Good! Such loyalty will be rewarded." he continued. " Master, the only reward I need is to continue serving you." Lucius said with honey coated words. " Oh, but accepting my gifts is part of serving me!" Voldemort sounded a bit irritated. " You will accept!" He finished.
The beaten girl began to her feet and found herself infront of a mirror. She saw a pale girl with Jet black hair past her waste, enchanting but troubled grey eyes, a fit but bruised body, and badly torn clothes. She stared at her reflection untill interupted by a voice at wich she jumped. " Sid!" Cackled a female voice. She turned around shakily. " Father is ...heh, giving you up...I supposse you already knew this?" she said smuggly." Whaat? He....no..." Obsidian stumbled. " I...he can't, he wouldn't. Ivy!? Are you joking!?" She cried. " Why would I joke? I would get in trouble! He asked me to bring you this, and I get to cut your hair like mine." She said cheerily as she tossed a few straps of leather to her and a collar and chain. " What is..?" Obsidian began. " Your Uniform" Ivy giggled. " Now sit down, so I can cut your hair, you have to leave soon." She chuckled.
" Of coarse I accept master" Lucius obliged glancing to the door behind Voldemort and then back to the ground. " I know you do" Voldemort said turning to a Death Eater gaurd at the door behind him. " Go get the 'gift', and hurry." He spat.
The last few locks of hair fell to the floor. " ahh.... now we look the same." Moaned Obsidian. Her har was as low as her chin and almost completelty covered her left eye in the front and got shorter in the back. " It doesn't matter, you don't need to look different from me, we never have to see each other again, it's not like you looked much different with long hair anyways." Ivy drawled in an unconcerned tone. She turned her back to Obsidian now. "change" She snapped. " and do your make up, I'm sure your will be escorted out soon." She turned back to Obsidian who was now wearing a one piece suit that had 2 straps of leather coming up from the thong bottom to cover her nipples. " oh, wow....this is horrible." Obsidian groaned staring disgusted at her reflection. " I feel like you" She shot at Ivy. Ivy glared at her " Don't forget your collar." She retorted and stomped out. A tall scar-faced man walked in, one of her fathers minions? " Come on." He growled as he turned and limped away. She threw on her boots and ran after him putting on her collar as she ran. " Your have to hold the chain!" She said nervously to him as she caught up. " No." He snapped. " You have to, it will make me look weaker, and father look better! He will be angry, hold the chain!" She begged. holding out the chain expectantly. He snatched the chain out of her hands and she slowed down to walk behind him. He pushed open the door at the end of the torch lit hall and they entered the throne room. Her father sat in his usual spot, his throne of coarse. She closed her eyes and let out a nervous sigh. She opened them and looked at him sadly then to her new master in the distance.
"Stand up Lucuis." Voldemort seemed to be pleased with the Death Eater and his daughter's cooperation. He looked at Lucius. " Obsidian! Go now girl!" He said. Obsidian was released and she walked slowly and gracefully to Lucius holding the chain out carefully not looking at him. Lucius looked pleased with his present. " Master?" Obsidian inquired. " Master Malfoy. Look at me when you speak!" he said irratably. " of coarse Master Malfoy, it wont happen again." She said lifting her head up and opening her smokey grey eyes. " Thank you Dark Lord. " Said Lucius distantly.
Draco fell backwards landing on his black satin sheets and feather pillows atop the wooshing of his bed. He closed his eyes slowly and began to doze off. School started in about a week, he was dreading going back, dealing with that mudblood know-it-all smart ass, ragity hand-me-down weasly and Mr. popular. Crabbe and Goyle were begining to annoy him as well, they failed to entertain him anymore. " Draco! Come down here! Now!" A sudden shout made him jump up out of his bed. " DRACO!!" yelled his father. He started downstairs quickly, He saw his father at the base of the stairs and a girl dressed in almost nothing with short black hair looking down.He slowed down a bit looking bewildered eyes shooting from the girl back to his father. He stopped infront of his father waiting for explaination. His father turned and began speaking with the girl. " Obsidian, my dear, this is Master Draco. You will do everything he wants you to, you do not need to ask me first. Do you understand?" The girl nodded. " Go to him." Lucius pushed her at Draco, she smacked into him and stumbled back a few steps looking down. " Sorry Master Draco, it wont happen again" She said trembling. Draco still look confused. " What? uh.." began Draco. " Happy early Birthday! Your own servent! I think you will be pleased, son. She is very lovely, but I have no use for her, so....she is yours. Do what you wish." Lucius said this all very quickly. Draco stared blankly at Obsidian " Thank... you?" He said confused. Obsidian held out her chain to Draco who took it relluctantly. He stood akwardly for a moment befor his father snatched the chain away. " You can't do anything!" he started up the stairs and yanked the chain causing Obsidian to fall but quickly bounced back up and tried as hard as she could to keep up with Lucius, but stumbled and almost fell back often and was caught by Draco who followed behind them or tugged back up by the chain. Lucius shoved Obsidian through a door and she fell forwards onto a bed but rolled off onto the ground hitting her head.She sat up on her knees and looked at the ground panting. Draco walked in after tham and Lucius walked out slamming the door behind him.
" Would you like anything Master Draco?" She asked, her voice unenthusiastic. Draco thought for a few moments. " Stand up" He nervously answered " Yes Master Draco" She stood easily and moved a bit closer to him. Draco looked down at her body and swallowed hard. Then he look at her face, her eyes were closed. " open your eyes..." He said. She opened her eyes and Draco was transfixed on them for several minutes. " Your...your eyes are...er..." His voice cracking, he looked at a bruise on her cheek and then the bruises and scraped on her arms. " Those, weren't from my fa-father? right?" He asked sounding a little concerned. " Oh no Master Draco, of coarse they aren't." She dismissed easily. " Then, who?" Draco. " My own father." she said wearily. Draco gave her a strange look. " And he is...?" he interagated. " Im not sure if he would like me giving away his position Master Draco, but you asked so I must tell you, he is the Dark Lord, I am his gift to your father, since I am no longer use to him." She said ashamedly looking away form Draco's eyes. Draco looked shocked. " I can't order you around if your his daughter!" He panicked. " What am I doing!?" He shreaked. " Master Draco, you do not understand, my father discarded me to be used by his loyal followers, he does not care what happends to me, I know him better than you. Do not be worried. You will not be harmed in any way unless you discard my father's gift. Then not only will you be hurt, so will I." she reasured. " Oh...I need to go to sleep." Draco obviously shaken mumbled. He threw a blanket and a pillow on the floor. " you get to sleep too" He spat.
Obsidian sat up wearily in a bed made for her on the floor. She stretched, she actaully had a decent sleep, better then she had in mounths. She stood up and looked over at Draco who was still asleep. She smiled slightly as she examined him, he was sprawled across his bed, covers thrown to the side in nothing but a pair of black boxers. The slave situation wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. He really seemed like a decent person, nervous though. He was also cute, all men she had seen have been ugly and beaten up or rough looking. He looked so fragile and soft, like....a kitten. She reached down and stroked his chin. What am I doing? she thought, withdrawling her hand as he began to stir. He opened his eyes and jumped a bit scrambling for his covers and hiding in them. " What are you doing!?" He commanded as he eyed her suspiciously. " I..eh...er..just...s-sorry Master Draco!" She sputtered. She fell to her knees. " Do you wish to punish me?" She tested. " uh....no." He replied looking puzzeled. He wasn't mad? she thought. She began to smile. " What?" Barked Draco. " Oh...I've just...never met anyone as nice as you before" She sad cheerily. " I...ehm....oh." He muttured and looked down turning a bit pink in the face. " Could you give me some clothes bottom left drawer..." He asked. " Of coarse Master Draco." She opened his dresser drawer and tossed him a pair of pants and a shirt. " Thanks" He mumbled. " My pleasure Master Draco!" she warmly responded. He got up and moved to the door. Her smile flipped. " Are you leaving?" She asked wearily. " Uh...yea, im gonna go to Diagon Ally...." He replied quickly as he opened the door. He looked back at her. She gazed up at him longingly but said nothing. He sighed " You want to come?" he added. She looked down at her almost naked body. " I'm not dressed for an outing Master Draco. Do you want me to go?" Obsidian, sadly. "Hold on" Draco said and ran down stairs. returned about 5 minutes later with a short black dress and a robe. " It's the first thing I could find" he apologized. " Thank you Master Draco! You are wonderful!" She squeeled and proceeded to change. Draco's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He watched even though he was blushing." Ok! Do you want to go now Master Draco?" She smiled and handed him her chain. " Let's not make you wear this out." He removed the chain but left the collar on.
Draco and Obsidian, made there way down Diagon Ally . The street is busy and Obsidian finds Draco's hand and clutches it in her own. Draco's eyes meet hers and the both look away akwardly. "Right...so, lets take you ot the tailors first and get you clothes." He said strangely. " As you say, Master Draco." She answered. Alot of men turned to oogle Obsidian as they walked through the street. They bought a few different outfits and stopped at an old Tavern for some Butterbeer. "I...I was wondering, how old are you?" Malfoy asked and waited impatiently. "16...Master Draco, you are 17?" She replied quickly. " Right, did you ever go to school? Do you know alot?" He watched her closely. she leaned in very close to him" Yes, I attended a Wizarding school in America, that is where my father's hide-away is located, I know more than most witches of my age, for private lessons from father. But he was a tough teacher as you can see from bruises, it was hard to learn from him. I hope to go to school again while serving you and your family but it is all up to your father on weather he will allow me to, Master Draco" She whispered. She took a gulp of butterbeer. " I will talk to my father, I would like for you to attend my school very very much." Draco responed smiling. She looked up at Draco from her mug of butterbear. "Thank you Master Draco, you are too kind to me." She said, gazing into his eyes. His eyes shot to the side. " Er....yea." He swallowed as his eyes trailed off. She took another gulp of butterbeer and followed Draco's eyes to a scraggy looking boy with messy black hair and glasses. She narrowed her eyes to get a better look. Her eyes suddenly widened. " Master Draco, is that..." Obsidian Started. Draco nodded and looking irritated rose from his seat to aproach Harry. Obsidian followed him reluctantly. "Potter." He sneared. " Still hanging around these disguisting leeches, I see?" He shot pointedly at Hermione and Ron who looked enraged. " What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked irratably shooting a quick glance at Obsidian, but then looked again out of the corner of his eye. Both Draco and Obsidian caught this, Obsidian looked at the ground and smiled. " Looking at something Potter?" Draco smirked and wrapped his arm around Obsidian's waist. Obsidian looked back up at Harry who was now staring directly at Draco's face with great effort. A shiver went up her spine and Draco noticing, gave her a puzzelled look. He smiled akwardly at her and looked back to Potter. " Well Potter, I guess we have better things to do then sit and chat with the likes of you. See you at school, Potter." He hissed and spun around begining to walk away dragging Obsidian behind him. He stopped and moved into her pressing
his lips on hers sliding his toungue in. She was taken back by this but kissed him back. Draco stopped and looked back where Harry was to see him and Ron staring at them with amazement and Hermione disgusted. He looked pleased with himself and continued walking. Obsidian frowned, realizing it was only for show. " We should finish up buying our school supplies and get going." Draco said carelessly. The word our stuck out in her mind. " Yes, Master Draco." attempting to hide her delight. They aproached the crowd again and she grasped his hand
"You what!?" Bellowed Lucius. " Your servent? Go to school! BAH! This is ridiculous!" He raged on. " Why on Earth would you want your servent to attend school with you!?" He finished. " Well, it would raise my popularity for one, to be seen with a girl like her." Draco started and his father's face lightened a bit. " And, she can do my homework for me and clean my room, ect." He said easily. " Besides, you did say you had no use for her here, what would it hurt?" Draco argued. " It's not like we don't have the money to send her." He finished slyly. " I see your point son... you are to tell no one she is your servent while you are there though, it could hurt my reputation if someone found out I send my servents to school. Understood?" He retorted. " Ok." He replied shortly. " I'll have your mother write a letter to the school tonight." Lucius nodded and gestured for Draco to leave. " Tell her to come to me."
Obsidian rushed down the spiral stairs and dropped to a knee in front of Lucius. " Master Malfoy asked to see me?" She panted. " Mmhm. Do you wish to attend Hogwarts?" He questioned raising a brow. " I wish to do what ever Master Malfoy and Master Draco ask of me." She said simply. " Liar! I want to know if you want to go, not if we want you to! " He barked. " I...yes, M-master Malfoy." She stammered looking taken back a bit. " See? Was that so bad?" He began gently, she shook her head. He stroked her cheeck with the tip of his thumb. " My son is quite fond of you, but don't get to..." he grasped her chin." ...Atached." He finished now digging his nails into her skin. She readied herself for more pain but none came. " I will not, Master Malfoy" She struggled. He dug his nails in harder " Oh, I know you wont. Know be a good girl," He let go suddenly causing her head to drop down. " and go back up to your room" He said cruely.
" Here" Draco said shoving an armful of clothes at Obsidian. She took them easily looking puzzelled. She looked at the trunk laying open on the bed. " Oh, right Master Draco." She said cheerily. She dropped the clothes next to the suitcase and began to fold them.Then he took out the newly bought clothes from yesterday and another trunk and put them on the bed next to the books. " Then you can pack your trunk too." He said.
Narcissa took her pen and began to scribble on a piece of paper:
Dear Albus,
I know you usually do not accept new students on such short notice. I hope you make an acception this one time though. I have met an acceptional young woman named Obsidian Elddir. An orphan who is living with us and has had 6 full years of education at an elite wizarding school in America. She was even advanced in her old school. She wishes to further her education and continue this year but can not go all the way to America. Please allow her to attend Hogwarts this year.
Sincerly,
Narcissa Malfoy
Narcissa tied a blue ribbon around the parchment and the owl sitting on the stand next to her desk. She walked to the window and opened it letting in a rush of cool night air as the owl swooshed out.
The next morning a snow white owl flew onto Narcissa's and her husbands bedroom windowsill. It screeched and pecked madly at the glass . Narcissa rose wearily and rushed to the window, she untied the red ribbon and took the envolope from the owl's leg. She opened the letter slowly reaching to her night stand for her reading glasses and slide them over her nose. She unfolded the parchment and began to read:
Narcissa,
The way you described this girl has caught my attention and I have decided to acept her to Hogwarts, only under certain circumstances though, She will not attend the feast and will have a private session with the sorting hat in my office after the first years are sorted in. She will be shown around the school then she will be escorted to her house common room by a prefect when the feast is over. That is all I have to say.
~Albus
She dropped the letter aimlessly and fell back onto her pillow,.
Draco woke earlier than usual and found Obsidian asleep over his stomache. He looked over her to see his trunk still open but fully packed with the wand sitting on top of everything else. He looked down at Obsidian. He was really starting to get used to her, and it had only been a couple days. She really needed more clothes than the few outfits he got her. Maybe his mother could get her some. He stroked a piece of hair out of her face. She always looked so tired. he wanted to ask her about going shopping with his mother but he wanted to let her rest. He gently lifted her off so he could get up. He sat on the edge of his bed then slid off and sat next to his trunk. He started to examine it. Usually he just threw everything in there, she ironed too? Everything was orginized, clothes on one side school supplies on the other. Nothing was out of place She was great, he could definatly get used to this. He couldn't wait to go to school now, and see the look on Potter's face when he saw them together. He smiled to himself. Obsidian began to stir and rolled over on her side facing Draco. Her eyes opened slowly and they searched for Draco automatically, finding him on the floor by the bed looking at his trunk. " Is something wrong Master Draco?" She asked worried sitting up from bed. " No...this is perfect. You did great." He said smiling. She got out of the bed and stretched befor hopping down next to him on the ground. " You didn't pack yours..." He said questioning. " I wasn't sure if I was going..." she explained. " I asked you to pack it, pack it now" He said irritably " Sorry, Master Draco." She mumbled and began to fold her few clothes and put them neatly in the case. " You don't have much to wear, do you mind going shopping with my mother? I might go too." He asked. " Sure." She said shortly, hidding her excitement poorly.
Draco, Narcissa, and Obsidian entered a bright store with brilliant red walls with gold trimming, racks of clothing lined the walls. Obsidian's eyes widened as she entered, a tall slender woman with brown hair pulled back in a tight bun wearing a slick black dress aproached them. " Hello Mrs. Malfoy, how can I help you today?" She asked in a high pitched girlish voice. " Obsidian here..." She shoved Obsidian forward a bit " needs some apparal for school." She finished easily. " Oh, I see! Lets just go over to our young miss department and I think you will be very pleased with our selection!" The woman said cheerily. They followed the woman to the girls department. " What exactly are you looking for?" The woman asked Narcissa. " Casual, but classy." She replied. " Then this is where you will find what you need." she motioned towards a few racks with elgent dark clothes. " If you need me, I'll be at the desk, feel free to try anything on, dressing rooms are right over there." She spun around and walked off. Narcissa began looking through the racks and Draco sat down in a big puffy red chair. " This is nice....oooh, and this! This is cute too.." Narcissa babbling, though Obsidian was obviously not paying attention." Go try these on! Dray-dray, go with her!" She dictated." Don't call me that." He mumbled, turning pink in his cheeks. He stood up and went with Obsidian to the dressing rooms He sat down on a long red couch outside the doors. She went in and came back out a few minutes later with the first outfit on. It was a pair of skin tight black jeans with a long sleeve collored white shirt and a long black robe over it. She spun around real fast and ran back in the room before he could say anything. She came back out with a short black mini-skirt and a short sleeve red button up collar shirt, once again she ran back in before he could speak. Again she came out wearing a plaid skirt and a black tanktop under the same robes as before. She shrugged and walked back in. " Um...I don't know about this one." She said nervously from inside the room. " Just come out." He replied. She came out in a long-sleeve black and red corset top that very much complemented her figure, a pair of jeans and a black robe. " Wow...I...eh.." Draco's eyes not removed from her chest for one second. She frowned as her face began to heat up and spun around quickly and ran back into the room. She tried on many more outfits, and got everything Narcissa wanted her to.
Voldemort's thin slit-like eyes focused on the thin well-dressed blonde man entering the doors and making his way swiftly to him. " ahhh...hello Lucius." Voldemort said rather pleased seeing that Lucius looked nervous. " Master." Lucius, dropping to one knee and bowing his head infront of the throne where Voldemort sat contently. " You have been good to me, loyal, even those 11 years it looked like there was no hope for my revival, I lost many followers those years. You are the one I know will always follow." Voldemort paused. " Yes...I will always master." Lucius agreed. " Good! Such loyalty will be rewarded." he continued. " Master, the only reward I need is to continue serving you." Lucius said with honey coated words. " Oh, but accepting my gifts is part of serving me!" Voldemort sounded a bit irritated. " You will accept!" He finished.
The beaten girl began to her feet and found herself infront of a mirror. She saw a pale girl with Jet black hair past her waste, enchanting but troubled grey eyes, a fit but bruised body, and badly torn clothes. She stared at her reflection untill interupted by a voice at wich she jumped. " Sid!" Cackled a female voice. She turned around shakily. " Father is ...heh, giving you up...I supposse you already knew this?" she said smuggly." Whaat? He....no..." Obsidian stumbled. " I...he can't, he wouldn't. Ivy!? Are you joking!?" She cried.

A tall scar-faced man walked in, one of her fathers minions? " Come on." He growled as he turned and limped away. She threw on her boots and ran after him putting on her collar as she ran. " Your have to hold the chain!" She said nervously to him as she caught up. " No." He snapped. " You have to, it will make me look weaker, and father look better! He will be angry, hold the chain!" She begged. holding out the chain expectantly. He snatched the chain out of her hands and she slowed down to walk behind him. He pushed open the door at the end of the torch lit hall and they entered the throne room. Her father sat in his usual spot, his throne of coarse. She closed her eyes and let out a nervous sigh. She opened them and looked at him sadly then to her new master in the distance.
"Stand up Lucuis." Voldemort seemed to be pleased with the Death Eater and his daughter's cooperation. He looked at Lucius. " Obsidian! Go now girl!" He said. Obsidian was released and she walked slowly and gracefully to Lucius holding the chain out carefully not looking at him. Lucius looked pleased with his present. " Master?" Obsidian inquired.

Crabbe and Goyle were begining to annoy him as well, they failed to entertain him anymore. " Draco! Come down here! Now!" A sudden shout made him jump up out of his bed. " DRACO!!" yelled his father. He started downstairs quickly, He saw his father at the base of the stairs and a girl dressed in almost nothing with short black hair looking down.He slowed down a bit looking bewildered eyes shooting from the girl back to his father.

She opened his dresser drawer and tossed him a pair of pants and a shirt. " Thanks" He mumbled. " My pleasure Master Draco!" she warmly responded. He got up and moved to the door. Her smile flipped. " Are you leaving?" She asked wearily. " Uh...yea, im gonna go to Diagon Ally...." He replied quickly as he opened the door. He looked back at her. She gazed up at him longingly but said nothing. He sighed " You want to come?" he added. She looked down at her almost naked body. " I'm not dressed for an outing Master Draco. Do you want me to go?" Obsidian, sadly. "Hold on" Draco said and ran down stairs. returned about 5 minutes later with a short black dress and a robe. " It's the first thing I could find" he apologized. " Thank you Master Draco! You are wonderful!" She squeeled and proceeded to change. Draco's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He watched even though he was blushing." Ok! Do you want to go now Master Draco?" She smiled and handed him her chain. " Let's not make you wear this out." He removed the chain but left the collar on.
Draco and Obsidian, made there way down Diagon Ally . The street is busy and Obsidian finds Draco's hand and clutches it in her own. Draco's eyes meet hers and the both look away akwardly. "Right...so, lets take you ot the tailors first and get you clothes." He said strangely. " As you say, Master Draco." She answered. Alot of men turned to oogle Obsidian as they walked through the street. They bought a few different outfits and stopped at an old Tavern for some Butterbeer. "I...I was wondering, how old are you?" Malfoy asked and waited impatiently. "16...Master Draco, you are 17?" She replied quickly. " Right, did you ever go to school? Do you know alot?" He watched her closely. she leaned in very close to him" Yes, I attended a Wizarding school in America, that is where my father's hide-away is located, I know more than most witches of my age, for private lessons from father. But he was a tough teacher as you can see from bruises, it was hard to learn from him. I hope to go to school again while serving you and your family but it is all up to your father on weather he will allow me to, Master Draco" She whispered. She took a gulp of butterbeer. " I will talk to my father, I would like for you to attend my school very very much." Draco responed smiling. She looked up at Draco from her mug of butterbear. "Thank you Master Draco, you are too kind to me." She said, gazing into his eyes. His eyes shot to the side. " Er....yea." He swallowed as his eyes trailed off. She took another gulp of butterbeer and followed Draco's eyes to a scraggy looking boy with messy black hair and glasses. She narrowed her eyes to get a better look. Her eyes suddenly widened. " Master Draco, is that..." Obsidian Started. Draco nodded and looking irritated rose from his seat to aproach Harry. Obsidian followed him reluctantly. "Potter." He sneared. " Still hanging around these disguisting leeches, I see?" He shot pointedly at Hermione and Ron who looked enraged. " What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked irratably shooting a quick glance at Obsidian, but then looked again out of the corner of his eye. Both Draco and Obsidian caught this, Obsidian looked at the ground and smiled. " Looking at something Potter?" Draco smirked and wrapped his arm around Obsidian's waist. Obsidian looked back up at Harry who was now staring directly at Draco's face with great effort. A shiver went up her spine and Draco noticing, gave her a puzzelled look. He smiled akwardly at her and looked back to Potter. " Well Potter, I guess we have better things to do then sit and chat with the likes of you. See you at school, Potter." He hissed and spun around begining to walk away dragging Obsidian behind him. He stopped and moved into her pressing
his lips on hers sliding his toungue in. She was taken back by this but kissed him back. Draco stopped and looked back where Harry was to see him and Ron staring at them with amazement and Hermione disgusted. He looked pleased with himself and continued walking. Obsidian frowned, realizing it was only for show. " We should finish up buying our school supplies and get going." Draco said carelessly. The word our stuck out in her mind. " Yes, Master Draco." attempting to hide her delight. They aproached the crowd again and she grasped his hand
"You what!?" Bellowed Lucius. " Your servent? Go to school! BAH! This is ridiculous!" He raged on. " Why on Earth would you want your servent to attend school with you!?" He finished. " Well, it would raise my popularity for one, to be seen with a girl like her." Draco started and his father's face lightened a bit. " And, she can do my homework for me and clean my room, ect." He said easily. " Besides, you did say you had no use for her here, what would it hurt?" Draco argued. " It's not like we don't have the money to send her." He finished slyly. " I see your point son... you are to tell no one she is your servent while you are there though, it could hurt my reputation if someone found out I send my servents to school. Understood?" He retorted. " Ok." He replied shortly. " I'll have your mother write a letter to the school tonight." Lucius nodded and gestured for Draco to leave. " Tell her to come to me."
Obsidian rushed down the spiral stairs and dropped to a knee in front of Lucius. " Master Malfoy asked to see me?" She panted. " Mmhm. Do you wish to attend Hogwarts?" He questioned raising a brow. " I wish to do what ever Master Malfoy and Master Draco ask of me." She said simply. " Liar! I want to know if you want to go, not if we want you to! " He barked. " I...yes, M-master Malfoy." She stammered looking taken back a bit. " See? Was that so bad?" He began gently, she shook her head. He stroked her cheeck with the tip of his thumb. " My son is quite fond of you, but don't get to..." he grasped her chin." ...Atached." He finished now digging his nails into her skin. She readied herself for more pain but none came. " I will not, Master Malfoy" She struggled. He dug his nails in harder " Oh, I know you wont. Know be a good girl," He let go suddenly causing her head to drop down. " and go back up to your room" He said cruely.
" Here" Draco said shoving an armful of clothes at Obsidian. She took them easily looking puzzelled. She looked at the trunk laying open on the bed. " Oh, right Master Draco." She said cheerily. She dropped the clothes next to the suitcase and began to fold them.Then he took out the newly bought clothes from yesterday and another trunk and put them on the bed next to the books. " Then you can pack your trunk too." He said.
Narcissa took her pen and began to scribble on a piece of paper:
Dear Albus,
I know you usually do not accept new students on such short notice. I hope you make an acception this one time though. I have met an acceptional young woman named Obsidian Elddir. An orphan who is living with us and has had 6 full years of education at an elite wizarding school in America. She was even advanced in her old school. She wishes to further her education and continue this year but can not go all the way to America. Please allow her to attend Hogwarts this year.
Sincerly,
Narcissa Malfoy
Narcissa tied a blue ribbon around the parchment and the owl sitting on the stand next to her desk. She walked to the window and opened it letting in a rush of cool night air as the owl swooshed out.
The next morning a snow white owl flew onto Narcissa's and her husbands bedroom windowsill. It screeched and pecked madly at the glass . Narcissa rose wearily and rushed to the window, she untied the red ribbon and took the envolope from the owl's leg. She opened the letter slowly reaching to her night stand for her reading glasses and slide them over her nose. She unfolded the parchment and began to read:
Narcissa,
The way you described this girl has caught my attention and I have decided to acept her to Hogwarts, only under certain circumstances though, She will not attend the feast and will have a private session with the sorting hat in my office after the first years are sorted in. She will be shown around the school then she will be escorted to her house common room by a prefect when the feast is over. That is all I have to say.
~Albus
She dropped the letter aimlessly and fell back onto her pillow,.
Draco woke earlier than usual and found Obsidian asleep over his stomache. He looked over her to see his trunk still open but fully packed with the wand sitting on top of everything else. He looked down at Obsidian. He was really starting to get used to her, and it had only been a couple days. She really needed more clothes than the few outfits he got her. Maybe his mother could get her some. He stroked a piece of hair out of her face. She always looked so tired. he wanted to ask her about going shopping with his mother but he wanted to let her rest. He gently lifted her off so he could get up. He sat on the edge of his bed then slid off and sat next to his trunk. He started to examine it. Usually he just threw everything in there, she ironed too? Everything was orginized, clothes on one side school supplies on the other. Nothing was out of place She was great, he could definatly get used to this. He couldn't wait to go to school now, and see the look on Potter's face when he saw them together. He smiled to himself. Obsidian began to stir and rolled over on her side facing Draco. Her eyes opened slowly and they searched for Draco automatically, finding him on the floor by the bed looking at his trunk. " Is something wrong Master Draco?" She asked worried sitting up from bed. " No...this is perfect. You did great." He said smiling. She got out of the bed and stretched befor hopping down next to him on the ground. " You didn't pack yours..." He said questioning. " I wasn't sure if I was going..." she explained. " I asked you to pack it, pack it now" He said irritably " Sorry, Master Draco." She mumbled and began to fold her few clothes and put them neatly in the case. " You don't have much to wear, do you mind going shopping with my mother? I might go too." He asked. " Sure." She said shortly, hidding her excitement poorly.
Draco, Narcissa, and Obsidian entered a bright store with brilliant red walls with gold trimming, racks of clothing lined the walls. Obsidian's eyes widened as she entered, a tall slender woman with brown hair pulled back in a tight bun wearing a slick black dress aproached them. " Hello Mrs. Malfoy, how can I help you today?" She asked in a high pitched girlish voice. " Obsidian here..." She shoved Obsidian forward a bit " needs some apparal for school." She finished easily. " Oh, I see! Lets just go over to our young miss department and I think you will be very pleased with our selection!" The woman said cheerily. They followed the woman to the girls department. " What exactly are you looking for?" The woman asked Narcissa. " Casual, but classy." She replied. " Then this is where you will find what you need." she motioned towards a few racks with elgent dark clothes. " If you need me, I'll be at the desk, feel free to try anything on, dressing rooms are right over there." She spun around and walked off. Narcissa began looking through the racks and Draco sat down in a big puffy red chair. " This is nice....oooh, and this! This is cute too.." Narcissa babbling, though Obsidian was obviously not paying attention." Go try these on! Dray-dray, go with her!" She dictated." Don't call me that." He mumbled, turning pink in his cheeks. He stood up and went with Obsidian to the dressing rooms He sat down on a long red couch outside the doors. She went in and came back out a few minutes later with the first outfit on. It was a pair of skin tight black jeans with a long sleeve collored white shirt and a long black robe over it. She spun around real fast and ran back in the room before he could say anything. She came back out with a short black mini-skirt and a short sleeve red button up collar shirt, once again she ran back in before he could speak. Again she came out wearing a plaid skirt and a black tanktop under the same robes as before. She shrugged and walked back in. " Um...I don't know about this one." She said nervously from inside the room. " Just come out." He replied. She came out in a long-sleeve black and red corset top that very much complemented her figure, a pair of jeans and a black robe. " Wow...I...eh.." Draco's eyes not removed from her chest for one second. She frowned as her face began to heat up and spun around quickly and ran back into the room. She tried on many more outfits, and got everything Narcissa wanted her to.
