Okay, one of my friends pointed out to me that some things sound like stuff
from Cassandra Claire. So, I don't own her fics. During this fic I will be
making references to different movies and books. Most of them I can catch,
but some I forget, so right now I am saying that I do not own LOTR, HP, or
SW.
Elf Girl/ Elven Maiden - Sorry, don't have time to get it ready for a beta- er. I am slow enough in getting the chapters up! I'll try not to misspell Fleur's name again. Unfortunately, Word doesn't catch things that don't make sense. So we may have another "be". : ( So who does Ginny remind you of?
MysticalRing- Thanks!
Crystalline Lily- The answer is in this chapter...
Ivy Crane- I was thinking red and gold, because Hermione got to hang out with her Gryffindor pals.
Cutiepie99- Thanks!
Intofire101- Lol, she is!
Krissy- Thanks!
*~Previously on Sphinx~* "Well, come on, Hermione. It has been a week and two days. You have both been sleeping in the same bed. Wouldn't you think those hormones would be kickin' in?"
"I don't know."
"You're avoiding the question."
"Maybe I don't want to answer it."
Ginny shrugged. "Okay, but I'm here when you want to talk."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Draco Malfoy stalked along the halls on his way to the Defense of the Dark Arts room. He had a feeling what it was about. He opened the door. Isadora Malfoy was seated on her desk, one leg slung over the other.
"Hello, Draco," she said.
"Nice to see you, Isadora."
"I suppose you know why I asked you to see me."
"It is going to be difficult."
"I think they can handle it."
"You are trying to teach a bunch of hormonal teenagers about veelas! The first through third years are going to be giggling during your explanation of veelas. The demonstration is going to be even tougher. And how are you going to find anyone to comply with doing the demonstration?"
"The first through third years are not going to be shown the demonstration. It is highly doubtful that they will be able to handle it. They will first be taken to Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall to make sure they know a few things, then to Professor DeLacour for a lecture about veelas, and then to me for a lecture about how to resist them. After my lecture they will be taken to Professors Flitwick and Snape for fencing. I know that you know why they need it. Don't worry, I won't tell Professor McGonagall. It is for you to tell when the time is ready."
Draco nodded and said, "And what about the fourth through seventh years?"
"I will be giving the lecture on veelas and how to resist them. I was hoping.."
"..That I would assist you?"
"You read my mind. You do know what is required for it, right?"
"Yes."
"Thank you. I didn't want to have to do it alone."
"Your welcome, and after Fleur is done with the younger students, will she be joining us?"
"Yes."
"It is nice to see you again, Isadora."
"Et tu."
"How are things in Salisbury?"
"Good, but it is a bit too crowded. Too many tourists."
"I heard that one was caught on camera."
"Yes, Gaeriel was always too interested in Muggles."
The two laughed.
"I hate to break up this light conversation," said Isadora, "but I must ask you, has Lucious been in contact with you?"
Draco's smiling face turned to one of seriousness.
"Yes, that is how I knew to go find Dumbledore. That is how I knew he is dead."
"What else did the letter say?"
"Only that his murderer is in the castle. I think that it is probably a student. They didn't use Avanda because it could be traced and didn't have enough power for it."
"Hmmm, that is an interesting technique. Well, we mustn't tell Min- Professor McGonagall of this. Though, I am beginning to see a grave fate come to Hogwarts. One who may seem trustworthy will soon be in command of the dark and light."
He nodded. Isadora leapt off her desk like a school girl and walked to the back cabinets in the back of the room. She opened one of them, and pulled out shimmering fabric the same color as his hair, which she handed to Draco. The fabric flowed and almost felt as though it were sewn with water, like an invisibility cloak.
"Your pants, kind sir," she said with a bow.
Draco smiled, took them, and left.

That night, once Hermione Granger was sure that Draco was asleep, she had the courage to pull out her laptop. She had found a spell that allowed you to use Muggle electronics on Hogwarts grounds. She had given Harry and Ron a computer as a joint gift for their birthdays. She really needed to talk to Harry. Earlier she had told him to be on in one of the chat rooms that was usually reserved for something like flowers (something that didn't get a lot of traffic), and so he was when she clicked on.
GryffSeeker87: Hey, how is it going?
SwishAndFlick45: Okay I guess, you?
GryffSeeker87: Pretty good, did you believe any of that crud McGonagall told us about Dumbledore?
SwishAndFlick45: I don't know...It could happen.
GryffSeeker87: I don't.
SwishAndFlick45: But things like that always happen in the Muggle world!
GryffSeeker87: That's the Muggle world, Hermione. People don't have wands in the Muggle world.
SwishAndFlick45: Yea, I don't know, but then again...I really don't want to know.
GryffSeeker87: My scar hurt last night.
SwishAndFlick45: It did!?
GryffSeeker87: Hermione, I think something bad is going to happen. That's why I think that something happened to him.
SwishAndFlick45: Maybe...
GryffSeeker87: So on a lighter issue how is Malfoy?
SwishAndFlick45: God! You are the second person today to ask me that!
GryffSeeker87: Who else did?
SwishAndFlick45: Ginny.
GryffSeeker87: Oh- So how is he?
SwishAndFlick45: Only harmless asleep- he can be really mean when we are around other people, but other times...
GryffSeeker87: ...
GryffSeeker87: C'mon Hermione, you can tell me.
SwishAndFlick45: Harry- don't tell Ron this okay?
GryffSeeker87: Promise.
SwishAndFlick45: Harry, he kissed me, and I think he really meant it. We decided to completely forget it, because of obvious reasons.
GryffSeeker87: That little ferret kissed you!?
SwishAndFlick45: Harry!
GryffSeeker87: Sorry, I just think it is a little strange how he goes from calling you you-know-what, to making out.
SwishAndFlick45: Harry! He did not make out with me!
GryffSeeker87: Okay, okay. But this is kind of hard for me to accept. I don't hate Malfoy, but he is not on my top ten list right now.
SwishAndFlick45: I know...
GryffSeeker87: So you want me to be nicer to him from now on?
SwishAndFlick45: No, just be normal. He'll suspect I'd have told you if you don't.
GryffSeeker87: Okay.
PeRkYpRiNcEsS65: ooo who is this malfoy guy???? he sounds hot!!!!! a/s/l all!!!!!!
SwishAndFlick45: I'll talk to you later, Harry.
GryffSeeker87: Okay. See you later.
SwishAndFlick45 and GryffSeeker87 have left the room.
PeRkYpRiNcEsS65: hey!!! that's no fun!!! *pouts*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Chat rooms~ fun stuff
ps- No offense to anyone who's SN is PeRkYpRiNcEsS65.
pps- Salisbury is where Stonehenge is.
