CHAPTER 14: The Snake Kisses the Shadow

The Gryffindor's and the Slytherin's had their first Defence Agaisnt the Dark Arts lesson of the year with Professor Dark. She came in wearing a tight corset with a flowing dress that revealed her slender left leg every time she walked. Her hair wasn't tied back and all the boys, including Harry, were just staring at her – much to Raven's discust. It became clear during the lesson how much they hated each other. Professor Dark treated Raven like a child and Raven treated her like the idiot older sister. But things really came to a head when Professor Dark offered her sibling boy advice, saying that Raven would never get a boyfriend. But Raven simply replied that her sister would set anyone up just so she could get the thrill of breaking them up.

"I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really think we should leave," Ron said as he, Hermione and Harry watched Draco mutter something to Shadow's ear then leaving with her. Of course they followed and the result… Harry wanting to kill Draco even more and Ron having to hold him back.

"No!" Harry hissed, "Let go of me!" Harry managed to elbow Ron and run off. It was night and the moonlight light a path from Hogwarts down to the lake, which Draco led Shadow down, then they both sat down. Shadow giggled lightly and grabbed hold of Draco's arm and buried her head in his shoulder. He looked down at her and rested his head on hers.

What would Sirius think, Harry thought, his only daughter being so close to a Slytherin… then Harry remembered he married a Slytherin. But Trista Dumbledore wasn't just a Slytherin, she was a Dumbledore so she couldn't be all bad…

But still. Draco wasn't just a Slytherin – he was a Malfoy. He was Snape's favourite student… Snape. Sirius hated anything to do with Snape so Harry should stop them… he thought.

She looked so beautiful and naïve and Draco just looked like a sly slippery snake that couldn't be trusted. What did Shadow see in him? But he couldn't rule her life and tell her what to do. If she wanted to be close to Draco Malfoy she could, yet Harry was somewhat of a brother to her so, knowing Shadow was a slight traditionalist, she would like his approval. Never, Harry thought, never.

The sly snake looked her in the eye and went inn for the kill. Their lips brushed and Shadow froze, then she seemed to melt and ease up, Draco put his hands around her waist and Shadow slipped her arms around his neck. The kiss deepened and Draco pushed Shadow back slightly.

Harry couldn't stand it any longer and went back inside, breathing deeply and hatred building inside of him he did one thing he would never thought he would do. He went for relationship help from Professor Dark. After what had happened earlier that day he knew Professor Dark would love to help him stop them from going any further… Harry would feel as though he had failed Sirius in some way.

He found her office and knocked on it. Professor Dark answered, her face green and her hair in a towel.

"Ah!" she squeaked, girlishly, "Harry! Please excuse me for a minute, come in, come in!" she ushered Harry in. It was different, the walls were a rich red and the table looked extremely gothic yet disturbingly seductive. There were loads of manikins with tight fitting corsets and a book self with unnamed books on them. What really freaked Harry out though was that there was a pair of pink fluffy handcuffs hanging off one of her shelves.

Professor Dark disappeared for a moment but returned wearing saucy red robes, she tapped her head with her wand and the towel disappeared and her hair fell back down to her shoulders. She tapped her nose and the green stuff disappeared.

"Don't be scared, it's just a facial!" she smiled, "Please, sit down, Harry, and tell me why you've come to me at this hour."

They both sat down on opposite sides of the desk.

"I-I" he swallowed, he couldn't believe he was doing this, "I need advice,"

"On?" Professor Dark asked while smiling sweetly and resting her head on her right hand.

"Breaking people up," Harry said, bluntly. Her smile grew wider.

"Oooo! Harry, Harry, Harry!" she cooed, "I didn't think you were the one! Who is it? Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger? Ginny Weasley and her infatuation with Draco Malfoy?"

"No, well, act-…wait a minute, Ginny like's Draco?" Harry asked, completely and utterly shocked.

"Well…" Professor Dark mumbled and started looking at the nails on her left hand, "I would say that she sees Mr Malfoy more as…" she giggled, "Eye candy,"

Harry was stunned, he had no idea what she was talking about, eye candy? It soon became obvious that Professor Dark knew he didn't have a clue what she was on about because she smiled innocently at him.

"Eye candy is… well… the term for easy on the eyes, nice to look at. A pick me up for the eyes, sweet to look at…. if you get what I mean…" Professor Dark giggled again.

"Err… Professor, my problem is with Shadow and Draco," Harry explained, wanting to change the subject back to them.

"Oooo, Shadow, as in Shadow Black? As in Raven's best friend?" She asked and Harry nodded, "Well then… leave it to me… I love the thrill of a break up… especially if I caused it!" she ushered Harry out of her office and closed the door with a wide grin and a sly look on her face.

Walking up to the tower Harry suddenly asked himself something – had he done the right thing?
