Chapter 19: Defense Against the Dark Arts
Dragon returned to Hogwarts through the Gryffindor fire, he was definitely beyond mad at a few people. Once he got out of the fire place, he was hounded by Melissa. "Ok, I get you're in Gryffindor, I've come to accept it even, but why are you here? I mean you enjoyed Slytherin a lot."
"I'm here, because I understood that my future depends on how well I do in school, and what image I portray here. I hate the fact that as I've said over the summer, most girls are way to easy, I was hoping to be able to change my image while in Gryffindor, and for you to stay out of my way. Now, I have to go make sure Professor Mayer is fine, then I have to get Alyssa off of Professor Flitwick, and go study." With that Dragon went in search of Chastity.
" Professor, may I talk to you for a moment?" Dragon asked, walking into the deathly silent study hall, the students that were in there looked like they feared for their lives.
"Sure Mr. Malfoy, but if you've come to chew my head off I'm afraid that I do not have the time or the energy to talk to you at this particular moment, if it's something else then please follow me to my office and we'll talk. Congratulations on becoming a big brother to three more children by the way. I hope that you take care of them and keep them safe. I'm sure you will though, you're a great brother to Alyssa. Class, if you'll just continue what you are doing I'm sure I'll be back in no time." With that Chastity walked into her office followed by Dragon.
"Chastity, I'm sorry for the way Sirius treated you, he had no right to kick you out of my house, but it's obvious that what you did in the past is eating away at you in your future, which just goes to show how much you really have changed. I told both Severus and Sirius off for their behavior which is, in itself, a little amazing considering how I've acted lately. I wanted you to know that my fathers and I are more than grateful for your offer of helping us with the triplets and Alyssa, so much so that we wanted to make you the triplets godmother. You know, if you'd like to take the position. " Dragon sat down on one of the chairs in front of Chastity's desk.
"Dragon you sure are one mature, well breed kid, don't go blaming yourself for what happened in the past either, it's in your blood to act like that. Malfoy's haven't always been the nicest of people, I mean look at your grandfather, and well your father for that instance, Draco was and still is a pain in the arse sometimes. Thank you for coming to see if I was okay though, which I know is why you really came by to see me. I'll be fine, I'm just a little upset and to tell you the truth absolutely heart broken, but it's nothing time with my family and friends won't fix and Dragon you are definitely both. I'm sorry that I couldn't come see you sooner, but I didn't know if your father would know who I was and if Lucius was still alive. You probably understand how hard it is for me to go out in public and hope that I am not recognized. It's not a big deal in America because of the fact that there are no Death Eaters over there, so I don't have to worry about whose around me. I hate that I've missed you grow up, I hate that I've missed so many birthday's, but I'm going to make it up to you. I believe you once told Mr. Olivander that you wanted to know what your father was like growing up, so I'm going to give you an opportunity to witness it, if you would like, it's totally up to you if you want to or not and if what way you would like to view it. I can arrange two ways of you seeing your parents while they were in school, one is through a Pensive, I'm pretty positive you know what that is, another is a charm. The charm puts you into a sort of coma, where you're asleep, but you see the past. It's sort of like a pensive but the memories aren't just one point of view, you can view them by many different points Harry's, Draco's, their friends and you can also get their feelings off of the memory also." Chastity explained staring at Dragon with curiosity at which one he might choose.
"Can I think about it and get back to you? It's an interesting concept, I mean I've always wondered about what they were like when they were younger and all, but I would like to think it over." Dragon said, thinking of all the things he could learn about his parents that were kept from him.
"Sure think about it as long as you'd like, I'm not going anywhere any time soon. Now about this girl you think could be your girlfriend, what's she like? What house is she in? What's her name? Come on, "Chastity said laughing. "I'm your second cousin, you can tell me anything, I promise I won't tell your fathers or anyone. I can be your confidant as long as you need me."
"Her name's Julie, she's in Ravenclaw and she's nothing like the other girls I've been with. She's nice and smart, and she leaves her clothes on." Dragon said, smiling. Just thinking about Julie made Dragon feel better about everything.
"Well, she better be nice to you, I'm sure I'll eventually meet her once I get teaching. Don't worry about catching up in current history, you'll be learning a bunch of new things that will make us back track in what your old professor lacked knowledge on. However you must be going, you don't want to fall behind in other classes and I don't want to be the reason you did. Off with you now, but remember you can come back at anytime." Chastity got up and showed Dragon to the door.
"I'm sorry again about Sirius, but don't worry he'll come to his senses eventually."
"I sure hope your right Dragon, I really do like him, and I can't wait until Melissa finds out, she's going to be a handful." Dragon left to go pick up his sister off of Professor Flitwick, and then headed over towards the library.
"Well hello lil Alyssa. How are you today? Learn anything new?" Julie asked, once Dragon sat down at the table.
"Da, da, my! He he he." Alyssa said smiling, and raising her arms at Dragon.
"Yes, I am yours little angel, and I always will be." Dragon said picking Alyssa up out of her seat, placing her on his lap, and kissing her forehead.
"You really are a great brother, so how are your parents? I heard they took a leave of absence for two weeks. Will they be okay?"
"Yeah they'll be fine, my dad just had three more children, Hailey, Shane, and Madison. They're Alyssa and mines half brother and sisters, it's a long story. I think they're just taking the two weeks off to deal with everything and to get the newbies settled, and before you ask, I have no idea how many children my parents will end up having, they were both only children, and they've always wanted a big family. How big, I have no idea, but I don't think that five children will cut it. Your bracelet is very pretty, may I ask who gave it to you?"
"Brock Flats gave it to me over the summer." Julie said, looking at the bracelet then back at the book.
"Oh, he's your boyfriend?" If you were to quickly look into Dragons eyes you would have seen the sadness in them, but Julie had missed it.
"No, he's not really my type, he thinks he's so great with his fortune and last name, he thinks he can get away with things because his family is pure-blooded and ancient. I refuse to date people like that, I'll be their friends but it will never be anything more, I was raised muggle born, therefore last names and fortunes don't impress me. They never have and never will, I don't want to be a princess, I don't want to live in a castle. I will never be treated second rate by anyone, and those who treat others without the respect they deserve are also not high on my list either. Sorry, I'm rambling you really should tell me when to stop." Julie said, looking down at her book.
"It's fine, I like it when you ramble." Dragon said, feeling a little downhearted. Here was this beautiful, smart, wonderful girl that he thought he could end up at least going to Hogsmeade with, and he was everything she didn't want. It broke his heart when she started in on how much last names and attitudes didn't matter to her.
"You went quite quiet, which I've heard is quite rare for you, something on your mind?" Julie asked, looking at him with concern.
"No I'm fine, hey I'm sorry to cut our meeting short, but I have to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts now." Dragon placed everything back in his book bag, picked up Alyssa and went to class. Dragon decided to take the long way to class, though he was already running about 5 minutes late, just to see how Chastity was doing.
"Ok that's a great question Mr. Brodrick, Sirius Black was framed by his friend Peter Pettigrew, who was caught in the Ministry of Magic the day that Sirius Black fell through the veil, where he should have stayed had it not been for meddlesome people who want to bring misery to the lives of others for letting Black stay alive even though he clearly isn't ready to face the truth that his death would have happened earlier IF IT WAS NOT FOR SOME PEOPLE!" Dragon barley got to the door of the classroom before he heard Chastity shout, he decided to run for the nearest teacher before Chastity lost it all together, unfortunately for him, the nearest teacher was none other than his teacher Professor Grindelwald, who decided he was going to be less than helpful.
"Professor, could you please go to Professor Mayer's classroom and pull her aside, I think she just went off on a student over Sirius Black, please professor." Dragon asked, walking towards the front of the class.
"No, I'm sorry but I'm not here to baby sit people like her, and on top of that your five minutes late and are creating a disturbance. Now class your assignment is to-"
"You don't understand, she's quite dangerous when she's like this."
"I understand perfectly what a-you-know-what are capable of, especially trained by the likes of him, now go to your seat or I will have to remove you from my sight personally. As I was saying, is to tell me how to detect Dark Wizards, or in other words Death Eaters, that maybe lurking in plan sight. The first one to spot and identify one correctly will receive 500 house points, 600 if they can cast a spell on them, and 650 if you can spike anything of theirs with a pot-"
"Fine, let the school blow up over something you started! See if Dumbledore would let you stay here the way you are if you did."
"Oh, your still here are you, do you not understand English Mr. Malfoy, sit down! Fine have it your way, Crucio! Mobiliuscorpus! I did tell you that I would personally remove you." Grindelwald yelled over Dragons shouts, carrying his body out of the class room.
"Finite Incatateum, now Mr. Malfoy, if you wish to join the rest of your class then go sit in your seat, but I do not want to know you are in that class unless you can answer a question, or are in dire need of speak-"
"AND THEN THEY HAVE TO THINK SIRIUS IS ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY JUST BECAUSE HE WAS LET OFF BY HIS DAUGHTER BECAUSE OF PETTIGREWS ESCAPE AND THE MODIFYING CHARM THE DARK LORD PUT ON THE MINISTRY PEOPLE SO THEY WOULD FORGET ABOUT HIM! THAT MR. BRODRICK IS THE ANSWER TO WHY MR. I'M-BETTER-THAN-EVERYBODY, IS STILL ALIVE WITH HIS BIG HEADED EGO TODAY!" Chastity's shouts echoed in the quiet hallway.
"What the heck is going on that's making her shout like that?" Grindelwald asked, the yelling getting on his nerves.
"I told you, but no you go and use an Unforgivable curse on me! Wait until my fathers hear about this, you are so going down."
"Would you like a repeat performance? Now, get into class, I'll go sort out Chastity and then I'll assign you the homework, and then if I'm lucky class will be over." With that Grindelwald walked into Chastity's classroom. "And you, I was in the middle of telling off that idiotic Potter-Malfoy boy for disrupting my class with lies, until I heard one heck of a war going off in the corridor, now De-Professor Mayer just what do you have to say for yourself?"
"If you hurt one hair on that students head his parents are the least of your worries! I brought you back and I can take you out, now go back to class and teach those students."
"Not until you tell me what is going on."
"I'd rather talk to a hungry werewolf then say another word to you, good day."
"That was more than another word Professor, that was about 15. I will get you to talk to someone, how about that nice Sirius Black person you're going out with?"
"I WILL NEVER EVER TALK TO HIM AGAIN, UNLESS HE COMES CRAWLING BACK ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES CLAIMING HOW MUCH OF A LIAR HE WAS AND THAT HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY TAKE CARE OF THOSE KIDS BETTER THAN I COULD, NOW GOOD DAY!"
"I thought you were 'never ever going to say another word to me again,' what happened? Did you forget? Oh well, Petrificus totalus! Class you're dismissed for the day and please inform the others that the class has been post postponed until further notice." Grindelwald took Chastity's body and placed it in her office until Severus could get around to waking her. He then went back to his class. "Ok now I have an announcement, Defense Against the Dark Arts has been postponed until further notice, because your teacher is incapable of handling feelings towards another. Now, you're all dismissed, except you Mr. Malfoy." Grindelwald waited until the class left before he turned towards Dragon. "You have a different assignment, your assignment is to write down everything you know about that Kelly girl, don't ask question cause I'm not giving answers, just do it. Oh and I don't fear your parents or your over protective friend in the next classroom, so go on tell them what happened I'm sure I'll get an earful from your parents, not that I care. Oh, and you might want to located Professor Snape because I refuse to wake up that horrible excuse for a witch such as Chastity, I'm sure he's more able than anyone of us to calm her down. Good day." With that both Grindelwald and Dragon left the room.
'I'd rather face Crucio again than Snape, especially when he's teaching.' Dragon thought to himself, going down to the Potions classroom, he knocked on the door before entering.
"Mr. Malfoy, I know in that big head of yours that you think you own the place, but since this is not Malfoy Manor, don't think you can just walk into a room when not invited."
"It's not my fault that Professor Grindelwald sent me! Like I really wanted to face you at this moment, however I am still friends with Professor Mayer, and was sent to tell you that she's freaking out on students over the smallest things, due to the arse Black, she's currently, well I think Professor Grindelwald might have knocked her out, or he could have casted the Craticus curse on her like he did me, but either way she's unconscious in her office and he refuses to wake a and I quote 'that horrible excuse for a witch'. Now, if you don't mind I'm going to Floo my parents about him as he preformed an illegal curse on a student." Before Dragon even reached the door, Severus was standing in front of it.
"Here, it's for the side effects, I see you're limping, go to the Infirmary and I'll inform your parents for you. By the way, where's Alyssa?" Severus asked looking around the classroom.
"Oh no! I left her in the DADA classroom, I can't believe I forgot her, what if she's gone? What if she's running around the castle? What if she got out and is running around Hogsmeade? What if she's being used by evil people for a heart potion?" Dragon got out in one breath, trying to get around Snape.
"Drag, calm down, it'll be fine, just calm down. I'm sure she's still in the classroom. I doubt she'd get far in a castle full of people, let alone out of the doors when she can't open them, or did you forget that. Chances are she's still in the classroom, or one of your fellow classmates picked her up and returned her to the Gryffindor tower, Professors McGonagall, or Dumbledore, or have left her in the care of Madam Pomfrey. Now, go back to where you left her and start there, if you can't find her in an hour come find me and we'll inform Dumbledore, your parents, and Chastity and we will all look for her, but you need to remain calm, what happened to the twins will not happen to Alyssa, I assure you." Snape tried to calm the panicking Dragon in front of him. After a few calming breaths Dragon nodded his head and quickly walked back to the DADA classroom. "Class dismissed, and if you find Professor Malfoy, or Professor Potters little one, return her to a Professor or her brother." With that Snape went to take care of Chastity.

Before he even passed the Current History class, Julie had walked up to him. "I believe this is yours, your grandfather dropped her off in Professor McGonagall's class, and I figured you might come back to the last place you had her." Julie handed Alyssa over to Dragon.
"Thank you so much, Alyssa are you alright? I'm sorry for leaving you I didn't mean to, I had no choice but to leave the classroom. Come on, I have to go to the Infirmary really quick and then I have to owl dad and father." Dragon picked up his sister, checking her over for any injuries.
"Drag, she's fine I promise nothing wrong, Mr. Malfoy said he found her a few minutes after your class ended. May I ask why you have to go see Madame Pomfrey though? Are you alright?"
"It's fine, but I don't want to discuss what happened more than once, could you come with us? I don't want to put Alyssa down and forget about her again, I think I might have scared Professor Snape when I barged into his classroom and then starting to freak out over her."
"Sure, I have nothing else I have to do. It's cool to see you so protective of your sister, most people hate their little sisters until they get older, you know because they steal the spotlight or something."
"I use to be like that when the twins were born, but I learned it doesn't last long, plus dad just had three more children and Alyssa isn't use to not getting attention, so someone has to spoil her right? And who better qualified then myself?"
"Good point, but how about her godparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, I mean you're a Malfoy right you should have a bunch of relatives that spoil you both."
"Yes, but my relatives are few and far between now that the war is over and most of them died because they were known Death Eaters, though Professor Mayer I found out today is like my second cousin or something, and that Professor Snape is sort of like my uncle because of some relation he has to Chastity, Sirius and Melissa are sort of family, and of course you know the Potters are family just as it's just Granpa James, Grandma Lily, and dad there's not many relatives from that side of the family. So as I said, my relatives are few and far between." Dragon, Alyssa, and Julie stepped into the Infirmary.
"Hello you three, whose in for what?" Madame Pomfrey asked, walking over to one of the students whose head was transformed into a tea cup.
"I just need a pain relieving potion and I'll be fine." Dragon said handing Alyssa to Julie and sitting down on one of the hospital beds.
"I'm not just going to give you a potion, especially an addictive one for no good reason, and without a teachers consent."
"I was in Defense Against the Dark Arts, when Professor Mayer went off on a student, I went in to get Professor Grindelwald to-"
"Say no more, you poor dear, third one today, which one was it? The Craticus Curse, Impervious Curse, or just plan chucked on your bum out of class?" Madam Pomfrey asked, her temper rising dangerously.
"I don't prefer to say, I would like to talk to my father though. Please."
"Well, I can't give you a potion until I know which one happened, and since Professor Grindelwald is under Professor Mayer's care, Headmaster Dumbledore can't chuck him out, but if you just lay there I'll get your father for you, though I'd usually hate to disturb him, he'll probably be able to get more out of you then James or Lucius." Poppy said, walking over to her office.
"Dragon, this is serious, you should have told her what happened, especially if it's an unforgivable, and why is it that Professor Mayer hired such an evil teacher to each us? That's just not right."
"She asked his help because he's more qualified then my dad to teach us how to fight back against Dark Lords, because lets face it you never know when the next one might rise. She was hoping he'd stay in line, but that assignment he gave just proved he'd go against Chastity even if it is a small loop hole in what she had explained to him, I can't really explain because she doesn't want people to know what we know you know?"
"I understand completely, would you like me to watch Alyssa for you? I promise I'll give her to Professor Snape when it's time to turn in for the night. I can take her to classes with me and feed her, just until you get out of the hospital wing. I swear I won't poison her." Julie said, noticing the look Dragon was giving her.
"How did you know?"
"How could you not with the three weeks of front page news that the Daily Prophet ran on the 'Death Eater attack on the Malfoy Twins!'" Julie said, quote the paper.
"Three weeks huh? I gave up reading about it after two days. Okay, you can take her, but please please please be careful with her, if anything were to happen to her, well I don't know what I'd do."
"I will I promise, here I'll put a tracking device on her so you know where she is at all times." Julie waved her wind over Alyssa, and handed Dragon what looked like a portable TV screen. "There now you can always see where she is."
"Thank you, now you better get going or you'll be late for your next class." Dragon hugged Julie, and waited for Draco to show up.

Heather: I'm glad you liked the Triplet's names! lol I know that you said the more the merrier, but um that doesn't tell me how many kids to talley up on the white board. Yes Kime's sister really laughed that hard, and I'm not going to have anything be related to Bush or Kerry, it's been over done.
Sarahamanda: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Orlin: I'm glad you were impressed with my speech you may have half a cookie, but not a whole one because you didn't notice my change, and don't tell Kime because she said "no sugar for Orlin!" and I don't want to get in trouble.
