Disclaimer: Hahahahaha! I own all of the teenagers. Sadly, I don't own the adults. *sigh* I also own any of the animals mentioned in this story except for Harry Potter's owl. To make it simple, I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I also do not own the country of the USA and every city within that country. I don't own the Salem Witch Academy as that school was imagined by JK Rowling. I doubt that JK Rowling would ever make Draco and Hermione fall in love, marry, and then have kids before moving away from London. So, I'm not JK Rowling. But, I do own four of the adults in this story. Oh! And Kito's mine! (Yes, you are allowed to vote for him as one of my hostages.)

A/N: The second chapter! Weehoo! The main event of this story, like in many other books, will not happen until about the middle of this story. So it's going to be a while before the event that the summary said will happen. Anyways, since I didn't get very much comment on who you wanted to answer the reviews for me, I'm only going to answer one of the reviews. So, from what I read in your reviews, you picked. Dante and Deme!

Deme: *is currently tied to a chair* I.hate.you.

Kat Davi: Oh, be quiet Deme. *smirks at her hostages*

Dante: *is also tied to a chair*I wanna read the answer to the review!

Deme: *pouts* Stupid Gryffindork.

Kat Davi: Deme, don't call Dante that! *holds a sheet of paper in front of Dante*

Dante: to marama- Kat says that you're the only reviewer who couldn't decide who your favorite characters. *reads your review* I'm an unknown child. *sniffles* You said Deme and Alexis' names, but you didn't say mine! *sniffle sniffle*

Kat Davi: *whacks Dante with a review* Oh, quiet you. You're gonna give away something if you keep acting like that!

Deme: *sneers at Dante* Hahahaha! Marama likes me better than you! *smack* Hey! Kat hit me!

Kat Davi: You're such a whiney baby! Okay. Back to the story!

(If any of you know how to make the font bold, italic, and underlined on ffnet, please tell me how by review or email.

Kitties, Newbies, and small Rivalries

Alexis placed a few neatly folded blouses in her dresser drawers. It was great to be back in London. Sure, she had loved the inter-blood love of magic. Muggles had a love for the supernatural and many women considered themselves witches. It was lovely there, but Salem didn't have London's famous double-decker buses or its mysterious fog. America didn't have a Buckingham Palace. America didn't have the aristocratic air of London.

"So, Alexis, is it true?" Adella asked.

Adella was sitting on Alexis' bed, scratching a wolf between the ears.

The wolf was black with glowing gold eyes. The unique thing about this wolf was the fact that he was telepathic. Driretlan was the brute's name. The wolf had been with the Malfoy family since Draco Malfoy's seventh year. The wolf was basically immortal.

"What's true?" Alexis asked, putting away her customized robes.

Ariana looked at Adella over Alexis' photo album and grinned. She looked back at Alexis, as she turned a page.

"Is it true that American boys are hotter than British boys?" Ariana asked.

Alexis laughed, hanging her formal gowns in her closet.

"Well, yes, but only the homos are gentlemen," she replied.

It was at the beginning of that statement when Dante, Hunter, and Deme chose to come in. They all stopped in their tracks at that comment. Even though they were all standing, they subconsciously crossed their legs.

"Speaking of homos." Adella muttered. The girls cracked grins at the boys.

Driretlan looked up at the newcomers. 'Don't worrrrry,' his inner voice whispered to them.

Deme smiled and knelt down to help her put away her clothes.

A tall man with bright red hair and a ton of freckles appeared in the doorway.

"Now what is this I heard that my 'adopted niece' has come home?" he asked.

Alexis looked up and smiled. "Uncle Ron!" she got up and he gathered her in his arms for a badly missed bear hug.

"Where's Aunt Blaise?" she asked, a huge smile on her face.

Uncle Ron paled, the warm happiness leaving him.

"Uncle Ron? Where's Aunt Blaise?" she asked, her voice quivering.

A miserable look crossed the three Weasleys' faces.

"She's. she's." Ron stuttered.

Deme stood and hugged Alexis. Everyone had a look of forlorn on his or her face.

"She doesn't know," Deme whispered to his uncle.

"Let's take this out to the hallway," he added.

Ron nodded and led them out of the room. He placed a silencing spell on the hallway as Deme closed the door.

"Where's Aunt Blaise?" Alexis repeated, almost not wanting to know.

Ron sighed. "Alexis, Aunt Blaise vanished a year after you moved away," he whispered.

Alexis' eyes widened. "W-what? H-how?" she asked.

"We don't know. We woke up one morning and she was gone. No note, no nothing. It was like she never existed. We haven't found hide nor tail of her," Ron replied in a weak voice.

"What about location spells?" she asked.

"We can't locate her. She's either broken her wand or she's warded," he explained.

Tears were already flowing down Alexis' cheeks. Aunt Blaise, the woman whom Alexis had called her 'second mother' as a child, was gone. Sorrow turned into anger in a matter of seconds.

"Did anyone look for her?! Why didn't anyone tell me all of this happened?!?!" she yelled.

Deme flinched. "We've looked everywhere Lex," he whispered.

"Well you didn't look hard enough!" she yelled.

"PEOPLE CAN'T JUST DISAPPEAR OFF OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!" she screamed.

She choked on her sobs and collapsed to the floor where she curled up into a fetal position and cried. Deme sighed softly and sat down with her, gathering her in his arms as he slowly rocked her, trying to comfort her. Ron leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"Blaise." he whispered.

~*~

Deme looked down at his younger sister before turning his gaze towards the window. It had been a week since Alexis came back home. Ever since she had fount out about Aunt Blaise's disappearance Alexis had been silent. She slept during the day and stared blankly at inanimate objects during the night. She barely even ate.

The group sat in their compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Alexis was sleeping in his arms with Driretlan curled up beside her. Dante, Adella, and Hunter sat opposite them with Ariana lying across their laps.

Alexis stirred and stretched slightly in drowsiness. A yawn escaped her pale lips, which sounded like the mewl of a kitten.

"Lex, we have to change," he reminded her.

Ariana got up, freeing Dante and Hunter. Dante, Hunter, and Deme left the girls so they could change. As the girls changed, their topic wandered to the Hogwarts houses.

"What house do you think I'll be in?" Alexis asked as she buttoned her shirt.

Adella smirked. "Hopefully Slytherin. You have the cunning trait. Hopefully you won't be a Gryffindork like Dad," she stated.

Ariana rolled her eyes. "Hey, I resent that, and there is nothing wrong with Gryffindor. Gryffindor is bravery and courage," she explained as she pulled on leggings.

"Ravenclaw isn't so bad. They're all really smart. The sorting hat almost put me there," Adella said.

Ariana smiled. "Hufflepuffs aren't bad. They're great friends. They're not the best, but they're loyal," she stated.

"Oh please, the Hufflepuffs are wimps," Adella retorted.

Adella smiled and pulled on her robes. A knock came at the compartment door. Thinking it was just her brother and the guys, she opened the door to see someone entirely different.

A young man stood in the aisle. Black, cat like ears protruded from silvery white hair that seemed to style itself with its rowdy appearance. His green eyes glinted with suppressed mirth as his lips formed into a smile. An open, leather vest covered his bare torso. Golden bands of metal glinted on his biceps. His baggy black jeans covered his lower body; a hole was cut into the jeans so that his long, black tail was free.

"P-Professor Nash," she stuttered slightly.

The man chuckled. "Miss Adella, I told you that you don't have to call me by my surname. I go by Kito, not Nash," he reprimanded in his slightly deep voice.

Adella's cheeks turned red, but thankfully her ears didn't.

"Yes sir, err I mean, Kito," she said.

He winked at her and looked into the compartment. "Greetings Miss Ariana," he called to the bespectacled girl.

Ariana smiled. "Now Kito, how many times have I told YOU to call me Ari instead of Ariana?" she asked in a correcting manner.

Kito chuckled softly. "One too many. Ah, a new student?" he asked, directing a smile towards Alexis.

Alexis put on her 'first impression smile' and stepped forward with her hand out.

"Hello, Kito. I'm Alexis Malfoy," she said, introducing herself.

Kito took her hand and shook it gently. "Hello Miss Alexis Malfoy, I'm Kito Nash, Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Pleased to meet you," he replied.

Adella was remaining oddly silent so Ariana asked the question that the girls were wondering.

"Kito, what did you come here for?" she asked.

Kito smiled. "I came to tell you that we will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes. I have to collect all the new students who aren't first years. Alexis, would you come with me?" he asked.

Alexis nodded and started to follow Kito. "Oh wait, could you guys tell Deme where I am?" she asked.

"No problem, Lexi," Ariana said.

Alexis gave her a 'thank you smile' before following Kito to the staff compartment. A few other kids stood to one side of the compartment and on the other side were some new teachers. Kito had been a teacher at Hogwarts last year at the age of eighteen.

Alexis grinned when she spotted the new flying teacher. Harry Potter, the father of two of her best friends and her other 'adopted uncle.' Harry winked at her. Alexis remembered that Adella had told her that a lot of the teachers had been replaced. It was easy to see that Kito was easily the youngest professor in Hogwarts.

"Alright, all of you kids will be sorted after the first years. You will just wait for your turn to be sorted at a small table to the side of the room," Kito explained.

"Now, I need to take your names. I already know Miss Malfoy," he said, but Alexis did not see the flash of recognition in one of the other student's eyes.

Kito perched a quill on top of a piece of floating parchment. 'Alexis Marie Malfoy- fifth year' appeared on the parchment in black, loopy calligraphy. Kito pointed to a small boy who paled slightly.

"Tell me your name and age." he ordered.

The boy nodded weakly. "Brandon Clemmons. Twelve."

The quill activated and wrote down the boy's name and year. This continued on.

"Jennifer Hannah. Fourteen."

"Christian Cannon. Thirteen."

"Xander Litten. Seventeen."

The last guy sent a smirk at her and answered Kito.

"Cade Sullivan. Sixteen."

Alexis frowned. Sullivan? He couldn't be.

As soon as they were dismissed, Alexis cornered Cade in the aisle.

"Are you in any way related to two squibs dubbed Daniel and Raven Sullivan from the United States of America?" she asked.

Cade chuckled. "Why, yes, I am. I'm their son."

Alexis' eyes widened in disbelief. Her parents had told her about Daniel and Raven Sullivan, the two squibs that had housed her parents when they were on a school trip.

"So Miss Malfoy, what did you want?" he asked.

Alexis sent him an annoyed glance. She stared into his startling gold eyes and saw something in his eyes that she only saw in one other person she knew.

"Do your parents know you're gay Cade?" she asked bluntly.

Cade quirked an eyebrow. "Of course they do. How could you tell?"

Alexis rolled her eyes. "Cade, one of my best friends is gay. I can tell homo from hetero easily," she replied.

Cade snorted. "So. who is this character that you claim to be gay besides me, Malfoy?"

*********************************

Dun dun dun! So, which one of my lovely characters is gay? Can you guess? Please, continue to tell me which character of mine is your favorite. You may not choose the characters from Harry Potter. They are off limits. Draco is already mad enough that I'm holding his teenage self hostage in a different story. R&R!
