~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Food suddenly appeared on their table but Harle did not touch a bit.

"I know we started out bad but it can't hurt you to eat some." She heard Malfoy said. Harle just stared at her plate. "oh Draco, if she doesn't want to eat, then let her be! It's not our loss." Pansy Parkinson said. Both Draco and Harle cast a deadly stare at her that made her stop. "come on...it's not poisoned." Malfoy insisted while Crabbe and Goyle chuckled. Harle sighed and took a piece of bread then ate it.

' so that is the reason behind her gorgeous body. I wonder why Pansy haven't thought about that.' Malfoy thought as he stared at Harle, slowing attacking her bread.

"look at her! she's suffering! She shouldn't be there!" Harry suppressed a cry. "a forbidden love is about to blossom upon the midst of a war." They heard someone said. Harry looked up and saw Van Isengard smiling at him. he was seated next to Ron who was in front of him. "I'm excited to know if she's willing to take such risk." He added.

"what do you know about us?" Harry snapped at him. Ron choked and Hermione's eyes grew large. "don't be rude Harry!!" Hermione hissed. "I'm sorry. he's not feeling that good tonight." Hermione apologized to Van. "y- yeah..." Ron wheezed after struggling to clear his air passage. "I'm ok. I perfectly understand why Harry's acting like that. I am One of those people that Harle knew." He said and winked at them. Harry snapped into reality when he saw him wink.

' one of those people that Harle knew? You mean...' Harry though while staring at Van. "but—"Harry protested but Van eyed him meaningfully showing him that they're in a public place.

"aherm. Ok, what are you talking about a forbidden love?" Ron broke the silence. "Come on, I know and you know that a Gryffindor-Slytherin pairing is impossible, like pairing a Vampire to a Lycan. It'll be like against all odds kind of thing. I want to know how long is she gonna fight for Harry for I know that Harry will fight for her to death." The spectacled boy sighed.

"Lycan?" Ron raised a brow. "another name for a werewolf, Ron." Hermione told him. "its hopeless." Harry groaned. "I'm not putting you down Harry but your right. And besides, look at Malfoy now, he's stuck to her like glue." Ron told him. Harry suddenly jolted up. "ah! So that's one reason why you should not give up the fight." Van told him.

"how long have you known Harle?" Hermione asked. "well, long enough that I can say she's a good woman with strong principles. She's a great leader once she finds her loyal subordinates. She's also a very reliable asset to the team, being good in what she does." He emphasized the last line to let them know that he's talking about Harle's powers.

"so basically, no one but Razzly knew her deeper." Ginny butt in. "well, I don't know what's the thing between Razz and Harle but I know that Harle's real best friend in an alien." Van told them. Harry turned around to take a look on his beloved's face. She was eating a bunch of grapes silently, not even looking at Malfoy who was obviously trying to get her attention by boasting about how rich he was.

"I feel sorry for her." Harry groaned. "don't worry. she's an expert being a wallflower." Van told him. "that's not a good situation for a girl." Ron told him. "but Harle mastered the skill." He replied. "back to the topic. You mean A-L-I-E-N.?" Hermione asked again. "yap. His name is Starky, the star child. He's barely taller than the Creevey brothers but when he's in full power, he's as tall as this school." Van said. "how come he became Harle's best friend?" Hermione asked. "Harle's not good with communicating with humans. Serge told me once that she's more comfortable being with the demi-humans and monsters." Van told them.

"ok let's not talk about that here." Harry reminded them. "could Dumbledore transfer her to Gryffindor? I mean, he's the Headmaster." Harry sighed. "you are downright crazy, Harry. He can't do that. you know that no one can change the decision of the Sorting Hat." Ron told him. "its FATE." Van uttered.

"I've heard that one before..." Harry muttered. "Having Harle over there is using one tactic in a war." Van whispered to them. "war? You mean Harle is there because of the war because of me?" Harry asked in apprehension. " most of us believed that the best weapon against the enemy is the one closest to it ." Van said. "so Harle shall play decoy." Hermione said. " yap." Van agreed.

"but that's dangerous!" Harry whispered in outrage. "calm down, Harry. She made this decision so it means she can handle it." Van told him. "but its still dangerous!" Harry insisted. a lot of Gryffindors were already staring at him. "Harry, will you come down! One more outraged whispered and a teacher will sure come down to us." Hermione threatened him. Harry took a deep breath and recovered his composure.

"I'm telling you, she can take care of herself. She's not a baby anymore. I'll bet that's what she'll tell you when you keep erupting like this in front of her." Van assured him. he took a bit bite off his pudding and stared at Harry while eating. Harry sighed and started his own. Lots of turmoil is going on inside his head. Apart from Harle being a Slytherin, he has to take care of Malfoy who obviously have his eyes set for his girlfriend.

He ate while watching Harle getting bored will Malfoy's rattle. ' why don't you just punch him in the face to shut him up?' Harle thought while taking a bite off his chicken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"what do you think would happened to Black's daughter?" Professor Sprout asked Professor Lupin. Remus pitied Harle at the moment. "I don't know, Helen" Professor Lupin answered.

"they should be separated to the rest of their batch-mates." Professor Dumbledore said.

"but why is that so?" Professor McGonagall. "because, both possess valuable things in them that some other kids might like to explore." Professor Dumbledore told them. "so what do you suggest?" Professor Snape asked the headmaster. "they should use the Rooms of the Dragon Knights." Professor Dumbledore told them. the two House heads were dumbstruck.

"and beside, Harle and Van are not from here. they may have their special likings, if you know what I mean." Professor Dumbledore winked at the two of them while staring at Harle lazily drinking from her goblet.

"you mean..." Professor McGonagall prompted. "that one of them might play games with the other students that might put their lives in danger." Professor Snape answered her question. "tell me their passwords when you're done." Professor Dumbledore said and cleared his throat.

The food started to disappear and Harle took in a nice deep breath before starting her life as an official Slytherin. "I'll that all of you are tired to you can now go to bad. The Prefects will show you to your dormitories." Professor Dumbledore told them. Ron, Hermione and Malfoy with the rest of the prefects stood up to guide the students.

"come on, Harlequin. I'll show you to your dorm." Malfoy lend a hand. Harle started at it indifferently and stood up without taking it. "just a pop trivia, Malfoy. I don't know you so stop calling me Harlequin." Harle told him. Malfoy felt a little twinge in his heart but he waved it off. sure, the girl was just trying to be hard-to-get.

"sure thing. Come on, let's go." Malfoy shrugged and smile genuinely. Harle resisted the urge to scoff. "Ms. Black." Somebody called her. Harle turned around and saw a tall man with greasy black hair and long crooked nose wearing black robes.

"I am Professor Severus Snape, the Head of Slytherin house and your Potions teacher." He extended a hand and Harle took it. she could see that the man was trying to be nice to her but outmost loathing was visible in his dark eyes. "I'm pleased to meet you, Sir." Harle said. the have met once, during a meeting of the Order but they have to put up a show that they do not know each other to avoid curious heads.

Professor Snape sensed that the Slytherin line was not moving because Draco Malfoy is still staring at Harle. "I'll take it from here, Mr. Malfoy. You lead the rest to the common rooms." Professor Snape told him. Malfoy obeyed in spite of the grudge he's feeling for not being able to be with Harle.

One by one, the students started to disappear from the Great Hall. One of those last persons was Harry, who was trying to catch her eye. Harle gave him a small sad smile and a wave before she turned to Professor Snape. She also saw that Van was held off by Professor McGonagall, who is the House head of Gryffindor.

"why am I last, Professor?" Harle asked him. "the Headmaster wants you and your friend to be in separate quarters from the rest of the house." he said.

"WHAT?" Harle asked with a surprised expression.

"REALLY?!" Van asked with glee. "yes you will be." Professor McGonagall sighed. They walked up to Professor Snape and Harle.

"did you hear that, ma belle? We'll have our own quarters!" Van said excitedly. "but why?" Harle asked Professor McGonagall. "Because the Headmaster thinks that it would be very dangerous for the other students to mess up with your belongings. You know what I mean." Professor McGonagall told them. they went out of the Great Hall and up the staircase.

"but, don't you think the students would feel a little jealous of us that we got to have our own quarters?" Harle asked. "who cares?" Van said. " we'll take care of that. we'll announce to the student body that the two of you are special students who have official business with Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall.

"and besides my lady, the Headmaster doesn't want you to fully blend in with the crowd that you're suppose to be with. It might have some negative effect on your behavior." Professor Snape said in a monotone voice. "you mean he's scared that I might kill somebody?" Harle paused from walking.

"I'm afraid yes, my lady." Professor McGonagall replied sadly. Harle was silent for the rest of the trip towards their very own private quarters. The two teachers were explaining to them the house rules but she's off to a different plane once more.

"here we are." Professor McGonagall's voice rang inside her head. They stopped in front of two identical portraits of a dragon. "This room will be your quarters for the rest of your Hogwarts life." Professor McGonagall said. "Welcome to the Rooms of the Dragon Knights." Professor Snape growled. "um, how are we suppose to get in?" Van asked. "you'll use different doors. Mr. Isengard, you use the right portrait. Ms. Black, you use the left one. You must think of a password for each portrait. Only you, your House head and the Headmaster will know your passwords." Professor Snape explained.

"come on, think of a password now and whisper it to us once you're done." Professor McGonagall told them. Harle closed her eyes and thought about the Opassa Beach where they used to teleport from the Home World to the Another World and vice versa. She turned to Professor Snape and whispered to him," Angelus Errare."

Professor Snape nodded and the left portrait swung open. "how about you, Mr. Isengard?" Professor McGonagall asked him. Van sighed and whispered " Prometheus' lock." The woman nodded and the right portrait swung open. " ok, get inside." Professor Snape said and they entered the Room of the Dragon Knights.

*

Everything inside the room was neat and new. Harle was mesmerized by the fact that she would be staying here when...

"Alright! Talk about VIP treatment!" Van whooped.

"hey! how come you're here?!" Harle protested. "yeah! What's the use of the portraits if we're still in one place?" Van asked Professor Snape.

"it's for security purposes, boy. And watch your tone. "Professor Snape snapped at him. there are two short staircases that lead to two doors. " ok, the room at the right side or the Room of the White Dragon Knight will be your room, Mr. Isengard while the room at the left side or the Room of the Black Dragon Knight will be yours, Ms. Black." Professor McGonagall said. Harle snorted at the fact that she's staying in the room for the dark knight.

"now, your rooms are connected to your house dormitories. There is a wooden door with your house crests would be your access door to your house dormitories. You must think of another one-word password in order to open that door. You must state your chosen password in front of that particular door and you are free to walk inside your house common rooms. And please, change passwords frequently." Professor Snape droned on. "wow to tight." Van sighed. "ok, tell us your passwords." Professor McGonagall told them. Harle sighed and whispered a name to Professor Snape and so as Van.

"now, you go to sleep. Your things are inside your rooms. Just remember that start of the school is on Monday, which is the next day after tomorrow. So I want to suggest that you go down to your common rooms tomorrow and get acquainted with the rest of the people around you and prepare your things for the start of the school." Professor McGonagall told them.

"just one more question." Van said. "what is it, Mr. Isengard?" Professor Snape asked. "are you two going to be our teachers?" he asked. "we'll see." Professor McGonagall said.

the two teachers turned their backs against them but paused.

"and one last reminder, kids." Professor McGonagall said. "yes, Professor?" Harle asked. "keep our business unknown to the public. I know that everybody knows about Voldemort but the Order is still working in the shadows." Professor Snape said before the two of them went out of the room.

Harle and Van slumped against the comfy sofas and sighed deeply.

"it feels like we're back in time." Harle murmured with eyes closed. " yeah, the times when war is at large..." Van added.

"come on, let's go to sleep." Harle told him. "nice idea." Van agreed. " oh! one thing." Harle paused. She was halfway up the stairs. "yeah?" Van yawned. "no surprise visits inside my room. Learn how to knock." Harle told him. Van laughed out loud. "sure thing!" He chuckled and watched Harle enter her room.

"this is going to be so much fun!" He murmured before entering his own premises.

A/N: so? How about it? please tell me what you think about it! please!
