The next day the four teenagers received a letter stating they would next be allowed into Sirius' trial. Draco was pacing and waving his fists furisouly ranting, Harry was sitting in the comfy chair sulking.

He had decided long ago that sulking required far higher levels of maturity then pouting. And besides the boy who lived did not pout. He either got very angry, or sulked. He only pouted cutely.

Torri was glad. She knew Harry or Draco would snap. It was going to happen, and she'd rather they make a seen somewhere where they couldn't get banned for life from. No matter how sexy they were when they were angry.

Hermione was tired. She didn't want to deal with any of this. In fact the brunette was sick of magic and the ministry in general. She wanted to see Blaise again. They had started to study together secretly at the end of last year. She also wanted to slowly burn Ron alive, but that could wait.

The trial had started at nine. It was 10:30 now, they didn't even have the decency to tell them that they wouldn't' be allowed into the trial. So Hermione had started to read of Hogwarts a History, Torri was reading the other book.

"Look at this, it's about shadow magic. It says it shows up usually in the Black and Sabriel family, but it's been reported in the Malfoy and Lestrange families. There's something about violins being able to control the elements of the devil." Torri mused.

"Violins?" Draco asked. "That sounds familiar."

"Elements of the devil are usually fire or shadow, but sometimes air shows up. Hm…Air being evil." Hermioen read over her shoulder. "Hang on, is there a part about any tainted blood lines?"

Torri flipped through the book, "Yeah I saw something about the pure blood families having vampire, vela, and werewolf blood. Here! So, Vela shows up in Malfoy family. See exhibit Draco. Vampire tends to lean toward Darkwaters, maybe even Black. Werewolf is the most coveted actually, Sabriel and Lestrange. But the most tainted families are the Black and Sabriel."

"This is so weird." Harry muttered. "Why do they keep tabs on ex aurors? Why do they consider us dangerous!"

"If we join Voldemort, we could persuade some of the most powerful witches and wizards of this century to join us. Sirius, Remus, Morgan, Oreo…." Hermione said softly. "Look we have to get out of this room, let's go out and get some ice cream, maybe some chocolate?"

Torri grinned. "Let's go change!" She pulled Hermione back to their room. Torri towel dried her hair and cursed loudly. "Mione, there's no power outlits in here! Bloody wizards!"

So she shook dry her hair which resulted in her being very, very dizzy. Mione just laughed. "Don't worry you can't get any worse brain damage then you already have!"

"Hah! You're so bloody witty!" Torri growled. Hermione went to change in the bathroom. Torri slipped on a pair of dark jeans, a plain long sleeved shirt and a white jean jacket. Hermione was dressed in a pair of pink corduroy pants and a black turtleneck, over that she had a long dark green coat. "Nice coat!"

Hermione grinned. "I want to look mysterious and evil!"

"Well you just have to smile…"

"Shut up tor!" Mione giggled indignatly. She chased the brunette into the hall where they bumped into Draco and Harry. A few moments later they were a heap on the floor, Hermione was sitting happily on top examining her nails. "I think I need a new coat of polish.

"Can't breath!" Torri gasped. She stretched on top of Draco's torso, with Harry sprawled over her. his hair was tangled in both people below him.

"Look who your sitting on!" Draco growled. Torri patted him on the head. "Hey Draco! Did you change your hair blonde again?"

"No…."

"It's blonde again. Keep it this way! I like it blonde more!"

"But I….." Draco muttered. "Oh whatever he spat out a mouthful of Harry's hair. "I'm choking on your hair! Harry!"

"Sorry!" Harry said with an innocent smile. "Mione! Please!"

She sighed and stood up. Harry rolled off Torri.

"Harry!" She shrieked, she rolled over with Harry, tangle din his hair.

"Ouch!" Harry yelled. Draco tried to yank his foot free of Harry's possessive hair. "Draco!"

"Stupid hair!" Draco growled. He finally got to his feet and dusted himself off. The newly remade blonde reached down and tenderly untangled Torri from Harry. He helped her up and wasn't prepared for her to hug him tightly. "Erm Torri?"

"Sorry, I missed you last night." She murmured, planting a kiss on his jaw before dashing away with Hermione. "Ice cream!"

A very confused Draco and Harry padded along behind them. They reached the ice cream store without incident, if you don't count Torri tripping. It was pretty cold for September, well almost September. Tomorrow they would be off to school.

They decided it was a good day to get school shopping done, so they made a quick visit to Gringotts and then to the shops. It was one by the time they dropped their bags off in the room. They went back out on the streets with nothing to do, when Harry was knocked over by someone.

"What it!" Harry yelled sharply.

"Sorry!" The man called, he walked back over to Harry. "Are you new here or something? You're dressed like a muggle. Wait a second you're Harry Potter!"

"And you're a reporter."

"Are you aware of Sirius Black's trial?"

"Yes." Harry growled angrily. Torri walked over to him and tossed her arm around his shoulder protectively. Harry calmed down a little.

"Do you know that he is your godfather?"

"Yes."

"Really? How!"

"I'm afraid he's not obligated to answer that." Torri said sweetly. "Now if you'd excuse us."

"And you are?" the reported asked.

"Torri Sabriel."

"What is you're relation to Harry Potter."

Torri thought for a moment before answering. "He's my boyfriend." Draoc nearly had a heart attack. She winked at him.

"Are you having an affair with Draco Malfoy!" The reported begged.

"No!" Draco growled.

"Guys!" Harry begged. "I'd rather not spill our private life to the press.."

Hermione walked over to Harry's other side. "Much as I love toying with reporters I have to agree with Harry."

The reported eyes this with interest. "So Harry, why the new hair do? It looks great…"

Torri's arm looping around Draco's belt loop stopped him for punching the reporter. Harry went bright red. "Well I dunno. I just wanted to look different I guess…"

"Really? Here's my number, call me." The reporter gave Harry a slip of paper. The man walked away and winked at Harry.

"Did that just happen?" Harry asked, blinking.

"Yes," Draco hissed. "I'm going to kill him!" Harry grinned at him and kissed the blonde.

"No worries, I'm still you and Torri's." Hermione laughed.

"You guys are too cute, now let's just follow the reporters to see Sirius." The brunette giggled. They followed the movement of the crowd to the front of the ministry. Suddenly the doors opened and out walked Sirius, Morgan, Remus, Daniel, and Snape. Remus was joining and laughing with Sirius, Morgan was on Sirius' arm. Oreo was chatting with a reporter already.

Morgan joined her. Sirius got a very wicked idea. He reached over and pulled Morgan into a very possessive and passionate kiss in front of at least fifty reporters. Torri giggled. "Harry can we do that?"

Harry went bright red at the thought. "Erm…."

Draco squeezed his hand tightly. "Harry shouldn't we make our way dramatically up there?"

They didn't wait for Harry's answer, they began to drag him there. "Ouch!" Harry yelped. Someone stepped on his hair. "Bastard that's attached to me!" Oreo heard the yelp.

"Hiya! Sirius' is free! We're so going clubbing tonight!" Oreo yelled. "Get up her!"

Suddenly all the reporters turned on Harry. As the party moved through the crowd Harry felt something on his ass. He looked over to see that man. Draco also noticed the hand, but with a much worse response. The blonde jumped on the reporter and punched him repeatedly. Torri grabbed his shoulders.

"Darling, please! Draco!" She tried to move him. "Fatso!"

"If you ever lay a hand on Harry again I swear to go I'll hit you even harder!" Draco shouted. Torri finally pried him of the reported and dragged him after Harry. Harry had found safety up on the steps with Morgan and Sirius.

"Sirius!" Harry yelled giving the grim a huge hug. "You're free?"

"And I'm coming to Hogwarts with you guys!" Sirius grinned. "I've got o go make a scene with Morgan, it's so fun. I suggest as you're parental guardian that you try it."

Torri ran over and hugged her dad. "Daddy!"

"I see Harry's discovered the wandering hand of the press," he teased lightly. Torri rolled her eyes.

"I have to go make sure Draco doesn't attack anymore reporters. Love ya!" Torri cried as she found Draco. "Baby!"

"That's my ass…." Draco muttered darkly.

"Our ass." Torri reminded sweetly. Harry popped up between them and slung his arms over their shoulders.

"My ass actually."

Torri kissed his cheek. "Wanna make a scene?"

Harry grinned evily. "Oh yes lets."

Some reporter dragged Draco away for an interview, when Harry pressed his lips carefully against Torri's. her lips parted a little and Harry's tongue attacked her mouth. It wasn't exactly unwelcomed. The press was snapping pictures like crazy. The boy who lived dipped Torri back for an even more impressive kiss.

"That was great!" Torri murmured. Harry just nodded he pulled her into a hug. "Hope Draco isn't to jealous."

"Knowing him I think he video taped it." Harry breath softly aginst her cheek. I've got to entertain the press, will you come at my arm?"

"Yes, but I'm not you're bitch!" Torri warned when Draco reached over and smoothly took her other arm in his.

"No your mine."

Harry grinned. "Can I be your bitch to?"

"I've always wanted a harem.." Draoc mused.

After a night of extensive partying The four teenagers were exhausted. Hermione passed out in Harry's bed, still in her clothes. Torri curled up in Draco's bed, Draco curled around her, and Harry rested his head on a pillow he had propped against Torri;s stomach.

"Good morning!" Sirius cried in a sing song voice. "We do have a train to catch so shower and bath my little ducklings!"

"Damn you Sirius." Draco grumbled. But he rolled out of bed, wanting to have the first shower. Harry trotted over to the bathroom and walked carefully.

He knocked on the shower door. "Can I join you?" he voice was so innocent sounding. Draco emerged form the shower in a record 4.7 minutes. He planted a quick kiss on Harry's lips.

"Go ahead." The blonde said softly. Harry didn't take a slow shower, but his hair was exceedingly hard to wash and condition. In the other room Torri had just emerged from the shower and fallen asleep on the bed.

When Harry left the shower his lover was dressed in light jeans and a dark blue t-shirt that made his eyes look a darker shade of blue. Harry dressed in a pair of black jeans and a dark green t-shirt that accented his eyes. "Draco should I tie my hair up?"

"I personally like it down better, but if you don't want to get it dirty then yes. Torri has some ribbons I think."

Harry scoffed. "A ribbon, that's so gay!"

Draco cleared his throat loudly.

"Bisexual!" Harry growled. He walked next door to Hermione and Torri's room. He found Hermione putting on makeup in front of the mirror. She was dressed in a short black skirt and ankle high boots. On top she was in a simple t-shirt. Torri was asleep in a towel on the bed. "Mione!"

"She looks so peaceful I wanted to let her sleep!"

"But…." Harry sighed. "Torri, Torri darling wake up. TORRI!"

"Hm?" She asked, she looked adorable like a child. "Oh opps! I have to get dressed oh shit! Harry wait in the hall!"

Harry slipped outside in the hall and waited for Torri to open the door. she did and nearly blinded him. She was dressed in a short tiny pleated white skirt, a fitted white dress shirt, and then a short coat that reach the bottom of her ribs. The short coat was sewn into a longer on with long over sized sleeves. On her feet were strappy white heels that accented her purple nail polish "Tor I need a ribbon for my hair."

She grinned. "Hm…I seem to have a dark green silk one…" She tied his hair up in it and then messed it up a little. "You look so cute! Help me pack!" Harry packed up all her things, and hauled her trunk down to the stairs where Oreo took it. Draco's and his own trunk's had been taken care of.

A few moments later they were gathered in the car and were driving down to the station. Torri nearly tripped and drestoyed her outfit, but Draco caught her. "That Draco! I can hardly walk in these."

"Then why did you wear them?"

"So I can kick people and it'll hurt more, but mostly cause I feel so short! Mione's 5'9 and Harry's 5'11, you're even taller, with my heels I'm only 5'7."

Draco just laughed at her. "Shall I carry you?"

"No, I want to walk!" Torri retorted. Draco set her down. She ran over to her dad and half tripped into his arms. "Daddy!" she kissed his cheek.

"Tor, I've warned you about those slutty shoes!"

"Aw…Their so cute though."

Daniel laughed and hugged his daughter tightly. "Call me ok? You have the solar charger with you?"

"Yes daddy, I'll write you as well. Can you visit us sometimes?"

"Of course! I'm coming to the castle for Christmas, and I might even visit with the vampires."

"Yay! Alrigth bye daddy, I love you!"

"Bye babby!" Daniel called as Torri ran after the rest fo her friends. Everyone else had obviously said their good byes already. Oreo and Daniel were the only ones not going on the train. "Hogwarts is so scrwed."

Oreo laughed. "Let's hope it lasts till Christmas."

Torri tripped again. "Thank you Siri!"

"You're hopeless."

Soon they were sorrunded by witches and wizards. Morgan and Sirius were faking a passionate good bye, even Snape chuckled. They slipped onto the train, the teachers went off on their own, while Draco led them to the back of the train.

Harry was nervous. Torri quickly noticed. "Harry what's wrong?"

"I'm worried about seeing Ron."

Torri grinned. "Don't worry that bastard won't do anything to you."

Hermione nodded in agreement. "Don't worry I'll help you verbally abuse him."

Harry laughed.

"Well, if it isn't the famous Harry Potter. Kill anyone else lately?"

Harry froze up, Hermione addressed the person who spoke. Torri looked him up and down. His freckles covered up his nice complexion. He was thin, only lightly muscled, he wasn't really pretty. He didn't hold a candle to Draco and Harry.

Hermione gave him a false smile. "Do you have anything interesting to say?"

"Bitch, I know you're Harry's little whore."

Torri felt cold anger well up inside her. no one insulted Hermione. And besides She was Harry's bitch. "Actually that would be me." Ron looked at her shocked. "I'm sure we haven't met. I'm Torri Sabriel."

"What the fuck?" Ron growled. Behind him were were three other boy's, Griffyndors.

"Hello Weasel." Draco said snidely. Torri hated the tone, but loved the effect it had on Ron. "Did you have fun in you're hovel of a home?"

"Bastard." Ron snarled. "Did you give your self up to Voldemort yet?"

"Actually I'm not longer apart of the Malfoy family." Draco said in an aggravatingly smooth tone. Torri loved it.

"Can Poor little Harry potter defend himself, or does he need his whore to do it for him?"

Draco punched Ron in the face. "I don't need magic to kill you Malfoy, in fact I-"

"Ahem." Remus was standing there. "Now Draco it's not nice to punch people. And you should be nice to animals." Remus turned to face Ron. "fifty points from Gryffindor for provoking an attack. To all three of you!"

Ron and his posse quickly scrambled away. Remus smiled. "Dear God that felt good."

Draoc laughed. "But Harry and Mione are in Gryffindor."

"I'm so not. Harry said rolling his eyes. "In fact I have a speech all planned out for the feast."

"I'm personally quiet bored of Gryffindor." Hermione said with a smile.

Torri giggled. "I love it when you're angry Harry, you look so sexy!"

Draco laughed. "Come one, I want you guys to come sit with the Slytherins. See ya Moony!"

They all called their farwells to the professor and followed Draco to the back fo the train. He opened the door and peeked in. "Hello?"

"Hi Draco!" Pansy called. "Where have you been I haven't seen you all summer! Why didn't you write me?"

"Hermione?" Blaise asked, he spotted the brunette.

"Hi Blaise!" Hermione called.

"Erm…Do you mind if Harry and Mione sit with us?"

Pansy smiled. "Sure! Milly told u that Harry wanted to change houses!"

Harry grinned. "If you don't mind I'm going to stage a dramatic transition during the feast."

Milly laughed. "Oh I can't wait to see the look on that dumb doors face!"

Torri giggled. "Dumb door?"

"Dumbledore, but he's like a dumb door!" Pansy translated. For the first time at Hogwarts in a long time Harry felt like he belonged. Draco rarely looked as happy as he did now, and Torri was adjusting great! The boy who lived, was leaving his shell, he was going to have a very fun time this year.

When they reached Hogwarts Torri had clung to Draco. "Draco it's scary here!"

"Don't worry Torri." The blonde said comfortingly. "hey! Let's sneak her in the carriage with us!"

Harry and Draco tossed Torri in a Carriage. They all had to squeeze a lot to fit in. It was a very small carriage. All the bigger one had left. Torri was on Draco's lap, along with half of Harry. Hermione was half on top of Blaise.

"I wish I could have taken the boats." Torri growled.

"No you would have destroyed you outfit." Draco said pointedly. Torri just grumbled while everyone laughed. She did like it here.

The got out of the carriage, Torri again almost tripped, and again Draco caught her. "I'm carrying you!" Draco insisted. Everyone laughed. The Slytherins had adopted Torri as their own, Harry was in the process, and Hermione it was immediate.

"Now Torri just follow the first years," Harry cackled .

"But I don't know what to do!" Torri cried. "What if I get confused! Oh well, I want a goodbye kiss." She attacked Draco with her lips and Draco fought back. Milly howled teasingly. "Bye! If I don't make it….Then I love you guys!"

The group opened the door to the great hall and found everyone sitting down. Harry stepped forward. "We got lost." Draco let out a cough that sound remarkably like a muffled laugh. Harry and Hermione branched off to the Gryffindor table.

Dumbledore started his trademark speech. Harry tuned it out. He waited for the perfect moment before raising his hand.

"yes mister Potter?"

"Can I switch houses?" Harry asked. There was no suave tact in his voice and Draco cracked up. "I love most everyone in my house, but I really don't think I belong here anymore."

Hermione added quickly. "I'd like to join him."

Professor Dumbledore looked totally flustered. "Erm…Well I don think."

"Well I'm moving anyway." Harry said sarcastically. "Cause you know I'm an angt ridden teen who doesn't know what he wants, so why don't you just tell me what to do? Oh wait the last time I let you do that my God father almost got killed!"

Hermione shot Dumbeldore a winning smile and followed Harry across the floor to the Slytherin table. "Please continue!" She called. The brunette cracked up Harry sat down next to Draco and Hermione sat down next to Milly and Blaise.

"Potter, Granger." Mcgonogal hissed. "I'll see you after this meeting."

Harry winked at Remus and Morgan, Sirius was there two, but Snape was next to Remus, and they were talking nicely. It fills my heart with warmth. Harry thought sappily. Mcgongoal continued with the sorting ceremony, and when she reached S Harry cracked up.

She called Sabriel and Torri came forward, she walked over to the stool and sat down gracefully. The hat was placed on her head.

No mistake about it. The hat thought.

Slytherin? Torri thought at it.

Just like your mother, I almost put your father in there, but he did fine in Gryffindor, he became more of a Slytherin thought. "SLYTHERINE!"

Torri grinned and pranced over to the Slytherin table. And tripped. "Ouch." She didn't move for a moment and was clearly waiting for something. Draoc heaved a sigh and grabbed her foot and pulled her over to the table. "Hey! Draco! Quit that tickles!"

The hall as laughing at her antics, Harry was in hysterics. "My prince charming." Torri growl sarcastically. She pushed Harry and Draco apart and sat down between them. "You two are too much."

After the feast Harry, Torri, and Draco decided instead of spending time with their houses they would go for a walk and show Torri the grounds. Torri seemed fascinated with the forbidden forest.

"Can we sneak in?"

"I don't think you want to Tor, there's man eating spiders in there, giants, centaurs, and….other creatures." Harry explained. "It's far to dangerous."

"What if we flew over it. Like could we fly over it and find like a clearing or something? Does Dumbeldore even know what's in there! There could be vampires, or werewolves, or god knows what!" Torri exclaimed. "Aren't you curious?"

"I value my life Torri, and yours." Harry said. "Come on there's a great place by the lake I want you to see."

Harry and Draco led her over the rocks around the lake to a little space covered in grass and surrounded by rocks, there was a small cherry tree there, littering the gorun with soft pink petals.

"It's so pretty!" Torri cried, she walked up to the lake, there was a layer of gravel. "Can you skip stones?"

Draco grinned. He tossed a flat stone and skipped four times. Harry rested against a rock and Torri cuddled into him. "It's beautiful here. I used to come here to think."

"You think?" Torri joked.

Draco shot her a rueful smile. "I used to come here when I was confused, you know? Back then I was still my father's doll.

Torri sighed. It was nice just to sit here. She liked sitting here, curled up in Harry's arms. She didn't want to think of anything now.
