Chapter 23
"Daddy! Daddy! You got a letter, daddy!" Luci ran through the house, almost knocking her poor uncle over.
"LUCI! Watch out where you are going!" Draco growled, relieved that the scalding coffee he was carrying hadn't been knocked on to him. He was almost in the kitchen when Luci's pet got in the way. Hex, Luci's black cat tripped Draco who spilled his coffee all over his pants. Draco, of course, screamed loudly. "STUPID CAT!"
The past two years had been hell on Draco. Since Felicia had died, Kaden started talking about Hermione to Luci. But it was still rare. He still didn't like to talk about it. He would always get uncomfortable. In fact, he seemed to try to pretend she didn't exist, unless Luci asked. Draco noticed he never took his wedding band off though. He hadn't taken off his either. But every time Hermione was mentioned Kaden would twirl the ring on his left hand. He twirled in like a hula-hoop, over and over.
Last year, Draco had sold his house. He complained that it was never the same without Felicia around. He had tried living with Lucius, but found his father's nagging insufferable. So he found himself in the home of his brother and niece.
Now, almost everything Luci wanted to know about her mother or anything about her father's past was told to her by...her Uncle Draco. Draco was always insanely nervous when he talked about Hermione to Luci. He didn't want to make her, or her father, upset.
Kaden had become a VERY protective father. He had not worked at all and spent all the time he could with Luci, Draco, Severus, and his father. He had started off with plenty of money. But after taking care of his daughter, and spoiling her, and family his vault had gotten smaller.
Sure, the Malfoy's still had PLENTY of money. Probably too much, to be honest. But Lucius would not let Kaden touch a single knut of it. This was, perhaps, Lucius's way of getting Kaden out of his hole and back into social life, maybe with a JOB.
Draco sat in his chair at the kitchen table pondering all that had happened in the last year. He was startled when his brother interrupted him from his thoughts. "Draco? Was Luci calling me? I thought I heard her yelling for me."
Draco smiled at his brother. "Yes, she was calling for you. You have a letter that I think she wants to hand deliver."
Kaden nodded and sat at his seat across from Draco. He started to help himself to some coffee when Luci ran in. Her seven year old self was always exuberant and happy. She was also very cunning and attention seeking. She was a born Slytherin and Kaden would give ALL his money away if she was put in any other house when she started Hogwarts. "DADDY! There is a letter for you! Where were you?"
Kaden smiled at his daughter. She reminded him so much of...her mother. She was always smiling and laughing. Luci ran over and held the letter in front of her as if it were some kind of trophy. "Daddy, it is from Hogwarts, it is their seal! I think it is MY Hogwarts letter!" Luci smiled as if waiting to be praised.
Kaden chuckled while Draco looked sympathetically at his niece. "Sorry, love, you have a few more years before you get your Hogwarts letter." Luci pouted. Kaden plucked the letter from his daughter's small hands and opened it.
He sighed upon seeing what was inside.
Dear Kaden,
I am starting to wonder if it is even worth the parchment to send this to you every year. I am, of course, inquiring to you coming to fill the Transfiguration post. Minerva is tired of waiting for you to come and is anxiously awaiting your arrival.
Kaden, it has been SEVEN years. I think that we need to let Minerva go. She has stayed only so that YOU could succeed her when it was time. But, really, I want to you come work here. It is time to get out of the house. Luci is, of course, welcome to come also. We will even watch, and tutor, her while you are teaching. Along with your acceptance of the position we will offer you Head of Slytherin House. Severus, as you know, is still working on lycanthropy potion and says he is too busy to fulfill the duties.
Please consider this at once and accept.
Sincerely and in anxious anticipation of your acceptance, Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore.
Kaden sighed. Draco looked at him questioningly. "What did it say?"
Kaden propped his chin on his arms. "The same thing it always does. He wants me to be Transfiguration professor. He is offering to tutor and watch Luci, with Minerva, while I am working. He also is offering me Slytherin Head of House."
"So Severus is still tied up with the werewolf potion?" Kaden nodded.
"Daddy? Are you going to take the job?" Luci asked anxiously.
"I doubt it, sweetheart. Do you really want me to? I wouldn't be spending much time with you!" Kaden said, hoping his daughter would work out his problems.
Luci instead, smiled. "Yea! I can learn magic with Uncle Albus!"
Kaden started to repeatedly hit his head on the table. Draco sighed. "Luci, leave me and your father alone for a moment?"
Luci nodded and ran out of the room, after scooping up a recently awakened and irritated Hex. Draco smiled at the cat's yowling before turning to Kaden.
"Kaden, you need to take this job. You need the money."
Kaden scoffed. "I have PLENTY of money."
Draco sighed. "I didn't want to resort to this."
"What?" Kaden growled.
Draco frowned and pulled out a Gringott's statement. "They sent YOUR statement to me. I freaked out when I saw. I thought I was going bankrupt!" Kaden grabbed the statement from Draco and looked at the amount. He then double checked the name; sure enough it was a statement for him. He then sighed.
"I suppose I have no choice but to take the job." Draco smiled at his brother and stood.
"Well, I am going to go play with Luci while you write your acceptance letter!"
Kaden sighed as he walked to his study. He sat at his ebony desk and pulled out a piece of parchment.
Dear Albus,
I will accept the position as Transfiguration Professor and Head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please reply with the date and time I should arrive.
Regards,
Kaden Xavier Malfoy
He whistled and his fastest owl, Houdini flew into the room. "This goes to Hogwarts, Houdini. Make it snappy?" Houdini hooted in compliance and flew out of the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~
On August 28th, Kaden and Luci rode the Hogwarts Express back to Kaden's ex-sanctuary. Because there were much fewer teachers than students, Severus, Luci, and Kaden had a compartment to themselves. Luci was asleep in "Uncle Sev's" lap. Severus had been overjoyed when he heard that Kaden was FINALLY taking the job. Severus had mellowed drastically since he had been detected as a spy for working with Kaden Malfoy.
Voldemort, surprisingly, had told no one that Kaden was really Harry Potter. He simply demanded that the death eater's capture him. They, of course, hadn't succeeded. Because of the secrecy, few people knew that Kaden Malfoy and Harry Potter were one and the same.
"Sev, who all is still working here?" Kaden asked.
Severus sighed. "Filch, me, Lupin, and Hagrid are still here. Vector and Hooch are still around somewhere, as well as Flitwick. Other than that, you are Transfiguration; Hannah Abbot-Boot is Ancient Runes, Neville Longbottom, unfortunately, is under control of Herbology. Binns was replaced by Terry Boot, Divination is run my Fleur Delacour's cousin from America, Trinity Delacour. Fleur, herself, is in charge of Muggle Studies."
"TRELAWNY LEFT! HALLEJULAH!" Kaden almost shouted.
Severus laughed. "Yes, she left. Trinity is okay though. Not really my type, I don't like the dark looking girls. Fleur, however..."
Kaden snorted and then started laughing. "What?" Severus asked, crossly.
"EXTRA-EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! SEVERUS SNAPE HAS A LOVE LIFE AND HAS HIS EYES SET ON...FFFLLEEUURR DDEELLAAACOUUUURRRRR!" Severus glared at Kaden.
When they finally did arrive at Hogwarts, Kaden moved into his room. One of his neighbors was Severus, which was useful as Luci really liked her "dear" uncle. He spent the next three days in his room, house elves brought food. He was finishing his lesson plans and getting settled in. He was also very grumpy, so Luci was up at Uncle Albus's office most of the time, if not with Uncle Sev or in Aunt Minnie's quarters. Minerva, who was, in reality, married to Albus, was still going to live at the school and help out with Luci when needed.
Kaden was just putting his quill down when the door opened. Minerva and Luci walked in. "Hey Min." Kaden acknowledged. Luci came and jumped into his lap.
Minerva smiled. "Nice to have you back, Kaden. You do know what time it is, don't you?"
"Why?"
Minerva smiled. "You don't think that I showed the first years to the Great Hall to be sorted for fun, did you? No, no. It has been a tradition since Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin that the Gryffindor or Slytherin Head of House brings and introduces the first years. Seeing as Neville will get lost and both heads stepped down, we are going to start with you, me and Severus decided. For the next seven glorious years, you get to bring them, then Neville. You have to go meet them at the docks."
Kaden groaned. "Damn."
Minerva gasped. "MR. MALFOY! I do believe your daughter is within hearing distance of your FOUL language."
Kaden snorted. "Luci, don't ever say that word." Minerva growled and sneered. Kaden then stood. "So, who's watching Luci tonight?"
Luci immediately hugged her father and started pouting. "Please, daddy, I want to go to the sorting, please, daddy, I love you!"
Kaden snorted. "That trick might work on your Grandmother but it will NOT work on me."
Minerva snorted. "Sure, Kaden, I have heard horror stories about how much you spoil her from Yvette!" Hermione's parents had made good friends with some members of the staff and they spoke often. Kaden and Luci didn't get to visit them much because they lived all the way in Bath and they were busy. They usually visited every couple months though.
"I am NOT that bad! And you can't go to the sorting, Luci, you aren't old enough. You will say with Aunt Minnie."
Luci glared at her father. "I don't love you anymore!" And started to storm off.
Kaden started to apologize and let her come when Minerva grabbed his arm. "Kaden, don't let her come. She is testing you!"
Kaden breathed in deep and nodded. "Okay."
He then spoke loud enough so that Luci could hear. "Well, Min, I will be back after the sorting."
"Okay, Kaden, see you later." Minerva said with a smile. Kaden walked out of the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Kaden took a deep breath and led the first years into the room. None of the teaching staff had really seen him. He had been to busy doing lesson plans. The head's of houses had seen him during meetings. So he had seen Neville, Flitwick, and Fleur Delacour. When he walked into the Great Hall he was surprised to see all eyes not on the students, they were all looking at him. He went and took his place next to the stool and started calling out names. He didn't recognize any of the students but he did recognize most of the staff. He then took his seat and looked for familiar faces. Vector was talking to Hagrid and Lupin was speaking to Dumbledore. Kaden was between Severus and an empty chair. But he had no one to speak to because Severus was too busy flirting with Fleur who was sitting next to him.
Dumbledore stood and called for attention. When everyone was looking at him he started, "Good evening students! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You know the normal rules, no staying out past curfew and do not enter the Forbidden Forest. This year, Professor Lupin has come back from some business he had elsewhere. We also have a new teacher amongst us. He is taking over Transfiguration and Head of Slytherin House. Please welcome Professor Malfoy."
Not many people clapped for him. The Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs mostly because they thought he was a loyal death eater- being a Malfoy. The Slytherins didn't cheer for him, their head of house; because a lot of them KNEW he wasn't a loyal death eater. Kaden smiled as Severus patted his back.
"Well students, I suppose that is..." Albus was cut off when the doors opened and the Divination professor walked in. Harry felt his jaw drop and he then felt Severus lift it, while laughing at him. Trinity Delacour. She was tall, very tall. She was gorgeous. She was nearing 6 foot in height with waist-length black hair and crystal blue eyes. She was blushing as she walked up to the high table. Kaden heard Albus say, "Get caught up in a premonition?"
He saw her nod as she took the empty seat, next to him. He felt his face grow hot as she looked at him. "Hello, I am Trinity Delacour. Who are you?"
Kade faltered before answering. "I'm, uh, my name is Kaden Malfoy, and I am taking over the Transfiguration position."
Trinity smiled. "Yes, I met your daughter. She is very well behaved and sweet. You and your wife must be proud."
Kaden looked down at his plate. "My wife died the day Luci was born."
Trinity covered her mouth. "I am so sorry about that. I had no idea. Oh gods, I am so stupid."
Kaden smiled. "It isn't a problem. You had no way of knowing."
Trinity nodded and smiled. "Thank you and....welcome to Hogwarts."
They continued the meal in silence, when all of the sudden Trinity dropped her fork. Kaden looked over to see her looking at him with unfocused eyes. He waved his hand in front of her but she just stared on. He just kept looking at her until she shook her head and her eyes refocused. She looked at him and immediately stood. "Excuse me, please." She then left the hall in a hurry, glancing back at him with a frightened look.
Severus nudged him. "What did you do? Grab her arse?" Kaden shrugged his shoulders, confused.
*~*~*~* Author's Note: Oh yes, in case you are wondering I do have an ending to the story still to lay out. I think it will be done shortly though, for me anyway. I can't just make Voldemort disappear people. Yes, Trinity is a REAL seer and will be an important character. I might have a sequel lined up for the story but if I DO then it will not be some LONG thing like this. I am thinking 10 chapters maximum.
Turn Back Time.....I am happy that some of you felt like you wanted to take it on but...I can't let you have it. I am sorry. I am not saying you are a bad writer, because I am not that good anyway, it would be contradictory. It is just A LOT harder to write on someone else's story. I want a strong story and I think the only way it can be its best is for me to write it. I might pick back up on it later but for now it is indefinitely stalled.
"Daddy! Daddy! You got a letter, daddy!" Luci ran through the house, almost knocking her poor uncle over.
