My madness is enclosing me, as she gets close I feel the urge and it is hard to suppress. If she gets very close I feel my mouth open and head for her neck. This kind of feeling can only be described as lust and I must rid myself of it as soon as possible.

Lucrius Next

Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry 9:00pm

The not so quiet whispers from the first years went round as a 16 year-old moving into year 6 was stood amongst them wearing full dress robes with the honours crest on the back of them. This was a crest given to families of great dignity. And although there were many ways to get this award the 1st years could only assume that someone in the family was a great wizard. The kind that would be on the hunt for Voldemort at that very moment.

"Ok first years line up in the alphabetical order." Said Professor McGonagall. "Lucrius come with me."

Lucrius followed McGonagall into the great hall with the first years in a line behind him.

"Pupils of Hogwarts," Announced Dumbledore, "Today we have a new student in our school one entering into the 6th form. Before we move onto the 1st year students we will first sort Lucrius Next."

As Lucrius' name was read out many people gasped, and to Ginny and Harry it seamed that his name was more famous than they had realised. Lucrius walked slowly up to the Sorting Hat and sat on the stool. The hat was placed on his head, and silence filled the hall. Even from the Sorting Hat there was silence but Lucrius sat there still staring straight at a point on the wall.

"There is much fear in you," said the Sorting Hat, "and yet I still sense the qualities of all the houses in you."

"You know what I fear?" Asked Lucrius his voice wobbling.

"I do, and yet I have nothing to fear." Replied the hat. "You fear for the others safety just as your father did. You did not know I once sorted him too?"

"No he didn't speak of his education."

"Well then, which house do you think he went into?" Lucrius looked round the hall and at the faces of each house.

"Slytherin!" He said decidedly.

"You indeed know the faces of each house very well. I was told you would." Said the hat, "I would sort you into Slytherin but I sense you heart is somewhere else. You wish for an acceptance that you know Slytherin could never give?"

"I do." he replied simply.

"I also sense you have already found this acceptance, in GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted the final word as he made his judgement. The whole of the Gryffindor table stood up and cheered and a seat at the head of the Gryffindor table was made for Lucrius to sit at the head boy of the house even moved for him. Lucrius stood up and looked up and down the line of the table, when a voice known to the whole school let out a cry of,

"SPEECH." Draco Malfoy who had stood up was quickly rallying support.

"QUIET," said Dumbledore and his voice boomed out over the whole of the room, "continue if you wish Lucrius."

"Well I'm not too great at speeches," He said projecting his voice well across the room, "but here goes. I thank you for accepting me into this one of the greatest Wizarding schools in the world. I hope that I can bring into this school a part of me and my family, just as everyone in the hall has, is bringing, or will bring when there time comes." He looked at the first years. "I would like for you to treat me as a normal student as everyone who has spoken to me so far has." He looked across at the Slytherin table. "And now something the Slytherin's will be pleased to hear. I do indeed hope to give the legendary Harry Potter a run for his money on his celebrity status. I hope I perform well enough that the Slytherin's will be pleased with my performance. Now I think we should let the Sorting ceremony continue, Professor McGonagall." As he finished cheers went up all round the hall and Lucrius went towards the Gryffindor table. He saw Ginny and walked over to her.

"May I sit here?"

"Sure." Said Ginny a bit surprised that he would come to her. "I thought you would be up at the head of the table soaking in the glory."

"Then you need to get to know me better."

"Let us eat." Said Dumbledore shortly after the 1st years had been sorted into houses. And at Lucrius's place a single silver chalice appeared with a sticky red liquid in it. He smelt it and dipped his finger into it and sucked his finger dry.

"Hmm, it tastes all right." Mused Lucrius aloud.

"What does?" Ginny said

"My drink, I must go talk to McGonagall about it and ask her on it origin please excuse me." Lucrius walked off towards the high table. Amanda Mclennan slid up the bench towards Ginny.

"So then who's flirting with the superstar?" She nudged Ginny's arm.

"I am not any way who's interested what I do?" Said Ginny, she winked at Amanda, "I waited all summer from and owl and where was it."

"Erm well that's a different story ill tell you what happened later, but seriously he's way out of your league." Amanda said slyly

"You know that'll come back to bite you in the ass, don't you?" Said Ginny

"I'm sure it will." Replied Amanda "He's coming back If you aren't flirting with him you'll introduce me." She slid back down the bench.

"What did McGonagall say?" Asked Ginny

"Apparently it's from Azkaban." Ginny's face went pale,

"What could you have got from there?"

"The Lement, it's a herb that's found near there. It's used in my drink for medicinal reasons."

"Oh, well I've never heard of it." Said Ginny

"It's quite rare and also slightly poisonous, but for my condition it poisons the cells that have the condition."

"Well I certainly wont be trying any, O Harry wants me, Why don't you talk to my friend Amanda?"

"I will thanks Ginny." Ginny got up and ran down to Harry.

"Hello Amanda, its lovely to meet you." Said Lucrius.
