Chapter Six:
Changes in the Air
After leaving the headmasters office Shalia felt a ripple in the air.Thinking it was just her imagination she paid no heed.That was her first mistake.She decided to go to the rooms,after making it to the top staircase she felt someone shove her.She also smelled strawberrys?If anyone had been watching they would have saw wings appear from her back.She flew back up to the top of the stairs.She was not worried about the person who pushed her seeing her.They would not have waited.They would need an alibi.Being in the common room with other students was perfect.
Realizing her wings were still out Shalia pulled them back in.It would not do if everyone found out she was part demon.The only ones who knew were her immediate family.Demons were thought to be killers,they would think she was evil and working for Voldermort if they found out.It was safer this way.Thankfully she looked nothing like a demon.
Looking around she noticed she was going to the Gryffendor common rooms.She was still not use to being in Slytherin.Her second mistake was instead of walking all the way back down the stairs she just decided to appear in front of the door.She would have to be careful though.Everyone thought you could not just appear anywhere in Hogwarts.Which was true for humans.But being part demon helped her.Although full demons could not.If a full demon even approached Hogwarts alarms would go off.Shalia's human side hid her demon side.
When Shalia appeared up Draco was standing in front of her.He jumped in surprise but smirked at her.When he did she knew she was in trouble.
"Hello Shalia.Or is that even your name?"he slowly asked.
"What do you mean of course that is my name."Shalia told him although the truth was Shalia was not her name.No one knew that not even Matthew.He had been assigned to her when her dad died.She trusted him but they did not know each other that well.Shalia had gotten no bad feelings from him so she figured he was fine and not evil.Plus he was also american Voldermort had few followers there yet.Europe was pretty much all his in the future.After Isabella had died Harry thought they would be safer in America.
"Yeah.Well "Shalia" (he put heavy empathis on her name,)it seems I have gained some new information.Would you cae to now what it was?"He said this very calmly but his body language was saying he was excited yet apprehensive.So she decided to go inside his head.If he knew she was from the future she just could take it.Plus she had to take the info that she appeared up right in front of him.
"Sure Draco.Why not?I don't have anything else to do.Just make sure Pansy doesn't catch us.I already have enough trouble out of your her.Your girlfriend seriosly has trust problems."
"She is not my girlfriend!"Draco hissed at Shalia.
"Ohhh...sore spot,huh?"
"Enough about her. Do you want to know what I do or would you like Dumbledore too know you are not human?"he growled.
"I don't think so."She reached up and grabbed his head with both her hands and closed her eyes.She started searching his thoughts.No one would see them.She had made them invisible.
"Boy his thoughts are jumbled."Shalia muttered to herself."Here it is.Hmmm... so he heard us talking in the headmasters office.Well I kinda knew that.What?He knows where his father is at?"she almost screeched that out real loud.
During the summer after Harry's sixth year Lucius and more Death Eaters had "escaped" from Azkaban.They were never caught.If Shalia could get them caught maybe her mom would not be killed.After removing his knowledge of her secret, she tried to find where she was a demon.It should have right in front but it wasn't.Which made no sense at all.The only way it would not be is if he had found out awhile back.
If he had known for a long time she thought he might have told someone else.But according to his mind he was the only one who was aware of what she was.After removing all of his knowledge about her demon parts she slowly pulled down the invisiblity shield and removed her hands from his head.Draco slowly opened his eyes.
"What was I saying?"he asked groggily.
"You were saying that we had to go to the headmasters office.You had something very important to tell him."Shalia replid.While she had been in his thoughts she had found where he did want to be with Voldermort.Apparently he was to big of a coward.Also he did not like death.But he did really hate Harry.It seemed Draco wished he was that famous.What he did not know was that Harry would have gladly gave him his popularity.
"Oh.Well lets go then."he said hurring off.
"Fine wait up."Shalia replied in a bored voice.But inside she was estatic.It had worked.Now Lucuis could be arrested.She ran to his side when she realized he had gotten far ahead of her.When they reached the headmasters office she hurriedly told them the password (s'mores) and followed Draco up the steps.When they got to the top they heard voices coming from the office.Before Draco could hear anything she knocked on the door and led them in.
"Miss Pierce can we help you?"Snape asked her sneering.Apparently it did not matter that she was his granddaughter."And why did you bring Mister Malfoy?"
"Oh he wanted to speak with the headmaster about the whereabouts of his father."hearing that Draco turned white and everyone else turned to look at him in amazement."It seems he does not want to join Voldermort."
"That..thats not true.I do not know where my father is.You have to believe me Proffessor.She is crazy!"Draco stammered out.For he still believed Snape was a Death Eater.
At that Shalia just smiled and when she thought no one could see her she snapped her fingers.
"I mean he is at our summer house with the other people that escaped.You-Know-Who got them out.They are hidden in a secret passage that no one knows about.I would not if I had not been following sounds one night and found them.Also Snape is a Death Eater.Please don't let him hurt me.I don't want to be one."Draco said really fast.Dumbledore looked on in surprise but after hearing where Lucuis Malfoy was contacted the Ministry and informed them where everyone was.He did not tell them how he knew.
"Now thank you Draco for that information.Though I believe you said you had no idea where your father was.Also do not worry about Severus.He will not hurt you."
"I do not know why you just told us that but thank you Draco."Snape told him while looking at Shalia.
"Your welcome Proffessor.I don't know why I told you either.It's like it was forced out of me.I do feel alot better though."Draco said with relief.
"Well if that is all I better go."Shalia said trying to inch her way out of the room.
"Wait Miss Pierce.It seems that the potraits noticed youi snapping your fingers before Draco started talking.Why is that?"Dumbledore asked.
"Who knows?I snap my fingers all the time when I'm nervous.See I'm doing it know."she replied.
"Yes I see but turn around.You just turned Professor Snape into a puppy."He said trying not to laugh.
"Errr...Sorry."She snapped her fingers again and Snape turned back to normal except one thing.His nose was straight."Sorry Proofessor.Would you like your nose crooked again?It will take just a second."
"NO!I mean no.That is okay.Just leave it."Snape replied.
"Well I would like to know how you did that Miss Pierce but it is late and we can talk in the morning.Why don't you take Mister Malfoy to your common room.I'm quite sure he is tired and I know you have had a busy day."Dumbledore said politely with his just a twinkling.
"Sure bye headmaster.I'll see you in the on Draco.Lets go.I am tired.Plus I have homework."Shalia said while pulling Draco behind her.
When they reached the common room almost everyone had went to bed.Almost.Pansy was still up and angry.Shalia tilted her head and told Pansy to sleep.Pansy went to the coach and fell over asleep.
"How did you do that?I wish I could.It would be so much easier."Draco asked her in amazement.
"It is just a little spell.I guess you would say but it works.You just can't do it to cause harm.Otherwise it comes to you and makes you sleep."she replied."Well I better go finish school.Later."
After reaching her bed she realized she was to tired to actually do work.So she got all of her work put it in a pile and said"Finish".At that all of her work was done.
She crawled into bed and went right to sleep.She would have a hard day tomorrow.
