"I still can't believe we didn't get expelled!" Remus said yawning, for what seemed the hundredth time that week, "Not even any detentions!"



A week had passed since the fight, and incredibly enough all 6 boys were still alive. It seemed like McGonagall couldn't punish half of Hogwarts with detentions and expulsions…but she could take away any chance Gryffindor and Slytherin had from winning the house cup. As Harry had learned, this wasn't too big a deal for the Gryffindors…but the Slytherins were another story, as they had won all house cups for the past 7 years.

"Well we lost ALL our house points, and so did the Slytherins," Ron pointed out, but the Marauders just grinned at him.

"We NEVER win the house cup, not with all the points we lose for our pranks," James explained, "I guess McGonagall just couldn't find enough stuff to make us all do for detentions!"

"I say we're all just fucking lucky!!!" Sirius said before glaring darkly at a girl who quickly passed them as she walked away from the Great Hall, her long hair flying behind her.

"Hey Sirius, who is that girl?" Harry asked, seeing the dark expression on his face.

"She is a Slytherin," James pointed out unnecessarily, making Sirius snap out of his little trance and grin.

"Dorcas Meadows, her mommy and my daddy are pretty tight! I know she is HOT, but don't get any ideas kid! She is a MAJOR-SLYTHRIN-PUREBLOOD-LOVING-BITCH if I've ever seen one!" Sirius said, "what gives anyway?"

"Wasn't she the only Slytherin girl left standing at the fight?" Harry asked, trying to stop himself from sounding impressed.

"She isn't too shabby with spells, but really cruel…didn't you see the curse she hit that Crouch boy with?" Sirius opened a pack of Droobles Best Drooping Gum, turning to Harry.

"Yeah, she is evil!" Harry said more to himself than to anyone else.

"Now that's a know fact," James grinned throwing an arm around Harry, "whatever you do, don't ever get mixed up with the Slytherin girls…they may look good at first, but after you see the real them they're pretty ugly!!!"

"Only to you James, the rest of us set our bars much higher than big boobs!" Remus laughed, along with all the other boys…though Harry's sounded a bit fake.

"Let's not talk about the Slytherins so early in the morning k? It's making me nauseas—" Sirius said as they stepped into the Great Hall, and stopped abruptly, causing both Harry and James to crash right into him.

"What's the matter Pads?" James asked rubbing his shoulder which had slammed right into Harry's neck.

"If you freaks hadn't just half knocked me out I'd have thought I'm dreamin'!" Sirius said slightly breathless, "What's a babe like that doing in OUR school?"

"What the hell?" James asked jumping on top of Sirius to see what was going on, "You're fucking right mate…she is bloody HOT!"

"It's probably some girl who just started putting on make-up or something," Remus sniggered as he walked past the two boys, "get a hold of yourselves you two, you look like pathetic drooling—WAOH!"



Harry and Ron shared amused looks; by the looks of it Remus too was left breathless, and squeezed their way into the Great Hall as well to see what was going on. Suddenly Harry felt his stomach clench horribly, there standing next to a sorting hat was professor McGonagall…and Ariadne! By the unusual lowness of the volume, it was obvious all eyes lay on the new girl…the beautiful new girl. As much as Harry hated to admit this, it was still true, Ariadne had obviously recovered quite well…Harry on the other hand wasn't so sure about his own wounds, the ones she had made.

Harry and the others made their way to the Gryffindor table, though like everyone else their eyes were locked onto Ariadne, whose long silky black hair fell exotically around her, her long slender body wrapped in beautiful tight satin black robes…showing off her killer curves. Harry too would have been totally mesmerized by her, but he had learned the hard way not to take her for how she looked, underneath all that beauty an evil self-centered bitch lived, one Harry looked forward to beating in a fair duel soon.

The silence continued as Ariadne sat herself down on the stool, and for a millisecond met Harry's eyes, and with one last smirk thrown in his direction her head disappeared…for a long time. Harry had no idea where that girl would end up, but he knew that he wouldn't be surprised if it was Slytherin…but he was wrong! Harry was indeed surprise when the hat screamed out Slytherin, he had assumed that Dumbledore had more sense than to bring another serpent clad amongst them. Angrily he watched Ariadne's beautiful form half glide towards the Slytherin table.

* * *

"Beauty and brains," Avery whistled as Ariadne reached their table.

Ariadne smiled, sitting herself between him and Snape. The Slytherins had given her some kind of an welcome, mostly for her beauty no doubt, she hadn't yet made their friend list as her blood purity remained a mystery, and it was no surprise when Rosier brought it up, only a second after Ariadne had settled down.

"So what's you're name," while his voice was casual, Rosier's almond shaped eyes shown with distrust.

"My name? It's Ariadne," she said, knowing very well what he had meant by his question. Usually she wouldn't give a damn about what he or anyone thought, but she sensed she needed the Slytherins on her side and she had no choice but to win them over, "of the Dolohovs. I'm sure you've heard of us, we're rather known."

"A Russian? What are you doing all the way in Hogwarts, did Drumstrang run out of spaces or something?" Snape smirked.

"No," Ariadne said simply, she didn't wish to give more info than required to earn her fellow housemates' trust.

"Then what are you doing here?" Rosier asked, his expression making it clear that she had no choice but to answer it.

"Bad business. Dombledore maybe a muggle loving fool…but he can keep me from getting involved!" Ariadne naturally lied easily…but this time the truth wasn't too far away.

"Is he you're father or uncle?" Wilkes now spoke for the first time, his voice rather soft, but Ariadne understood exactly what he had meant by that question, and she was sure she would have used a much more serious tone to talk about such things, such as death eater identities.

"Now why would I tell you such thing," Ariadne smiled innocently, knowing very well she had just passed their little mind test.

"You shouldn't," Rosier smiled briefly before turning to his pancakes.



Walking out of the Great Hall with a bunch of Slytherins who only too happy to show her the way to class, Ariadne smirked, they'd all probably line up to lick her feet if only they knew of her father. She had always had a certain way with people, some kind of deceptive charm that attracted them all towards her. Ariadne was sure this had surely come from her father side of the family, as her mother was the most self-centered snobby annoying nosey person alive, and everyone knew it, specially her step father who only married her for her money. Ariadne didn't know what made her father even consider getting in bed with such a horrible woman….but deep in her heart, she wondered how it was possible for her mother, terrible and all herself, to love someone so evil and terrible…and that made her sad.

Ariadne never loved her mother much, she never saw her and even when she did only unpleasant memories lingered….but the thought of her brutally slaughtered by her father's men made her horribly nauseas. She knew that there would never be anyone she hated more than her father…though sometimes, she desperately wanted to believe that there was some sort of justification to what he had done….all that he had done! Dumbledore had told her that there wasn't, but being stubborn as she was, a small part of Ariadne wasn't ready to give up hope.

As they stepped out of the Great Hall, Ariadne caught a glimpse of Harry, a tiny bit of something washed through her…anger! No matter how harsh and powerful her hexes were that boy ALWAYS found a way out….she was starting to think he wasn't human at all!!! It seemed as thought the other Slytherins had seen him as well as the other Gryffindors he was with, cause at that second Wilkes, Avery, Rosier, and Snape had all whipped out their wands, as though ready for action. Ariadne wasn't so sure what this was about, so she didn't so much as touch hers, if there was one thing she didn't like, it was getting mixed up in something she really wasn't involved in.

The Gryffindors didn't seem too shabby either to Ariadne, the 5 boys standing with Harry looked as ready as possible, as each of their wands remained in their hands! The tallest boy of them all caught her eye, his dark hair falling into his dark eyes, his lips pink and pouty….he was absolutely gorgeous! While Ariadne tried to contain her breathlessness, Sirius hardly even noticed anyone staring at him. He stared at the Slytherin boys in absolute hatred, his mind running through hexes to shower upon them.

"This fight hasn't ended, not by a long shot," Rosier said coldly, and the Gryffindors all smiled grimly.

"What the fuck did you think? We're never gonna give up till we get filth like you crawling out of here like the most miserable piece of vermin alive!" Sirius spat out, looking much angrier than he actually felt.

"We'll see about that, but in the mean time, watch you're backs…and don't be surprised if things don't always run so smoothly!" Rosier laughed, but stopped instantly at the arrival of Dumbledore at the scene.

"Is something wrong Mr. Rosier? Mr. Black?" he asked in a soft unsuspecting voice, and for a second Ariadne felt his eyes meet hers.

"No sir," both boys said at once, rather quickly.

"Than I suggest you get moving, the other students would all like to get to class on time," he said kindly, and swiftly left.

With one last glare both the Gryffindors and Slytherins left in different directions. Ariadne didn't know what to think, Harry hadn't told her about some kind of an all out battle going on or anything, so she quickly grabbed Avery's shoulder, and asked him what the hell was going on.

"This year is all about Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, we tried to battle it all out a week ago, but the teachers showed up…" Avery explained.

"Were gonna give those lil bitches hell, till they start wishin we'd done them in, in that little match," Snape said harshly.

Ariadne wasn't sure what to say, quite frankly she was astounded that any kind of war was going on inside of DUMBLEDORE'S school! It just didn't seem right….hadn't he brought here to be all safe from the big bad world….wasn't this place supposed to be safe for all???? For a second Ariadne felt like bursting into tears and running away, but bit her bottom lip instead and watched her feet move forward. She hated how week she was to emotions at times, they would just come crashing through her all of a sudden, make her feel horribly depressed…but then they'd pass and she'd land strongly on her feet once again.

She had been stupid to think she'd get a peaceful break once in a while…oh well, she thought, this'll all make me stronger I suppose, like all the other shit in my life! On the bright side, an even longer more serious non-practice match with Harry did sound rather appealing to Ariadne.

Sirius was for once actually excited as he entered his last double period class on a Friday. No DADA classes had gone on last week, or this week for that matter, but Dumbledore had told all who had DADA today to go to class, as their teacher had arrived over night the night before. Sirius hadn't managed to talk to anyone who had, had DADA today so far, and he was just going to have to find out about her by himself.

Grinning from ear to ear, thinking of ways to bring chaos to the newbies first class with him, Sirius made his way to the back of the class. For a while the whole class chattered happily, until the door was thrown open swiftly, and entered a tall beautiful woman clad in what looked like a mix of dark green silk and black fishnets for her tight sexy robes. He was just about to start admiring her sex appeal, when she turned and faced her students, causing Sirius' jaw to hit the floor.

Sirius couldn't believe what he was seeing, but there she was…her long thick shiny silvery locks fell nearly to her waist, her large wild shaped eyes shone in a poisonous green color, her skin pale and shimmery as though the moon shone above, and that shapely dark red smile…right ahead stood a member of the family he despised Nearly as much as his own!

He hadn't seen her for so long, but her wildly beauty hadn't faded from Sirius' memory. Last he had heard of her was that she was traveling to Sweden with the Weird Sisters, though she was planning to leave them and go solo! He had heard her mother brag about it in the summer…before he had runaway.

"My name is Anika Meadows, and as you might have guessed I'm your DADA teacher," about half of the class had obviously recognized her the second she had come into the class, and those who didn't looked up in surprise now knowing of the famous ex-Weird Sister lead singer, with the exception of a few, "as I'm new to you're school some of you will think that it's a free pass to misbehave and make trouble, but I must warn you not to cross me! Try if you will, then you'll see the consequences…however for those of you who are here to learn, I have a fun active highly important year planned!"

"What are you doing here?" Sirius asked out loud, he hadn't heard a single word coming out of her mouth, the sight of her had been too much of a shock.

"I thought by introducing myself as your DADA teacher I already gave that away," she said starting to smile as she looked around for the speaker, and her smile froze as their eyes met. For a few seconds she just stared at him in surprise, but then her smile grew much larger, "who knew, a Black in Gryffindor!"

"And a Meadow teaching at Dumbledore's school!" Sirius snapped back, glaring at her, not so much for what she had said, but mostly for the fact that she was a Meadow, "you couldn't get a job at daddy's Witch Strip???"

"Hey at least my daddy wants to keep me around, unlike others of course," Anika glared at him coldly, but as her eyes met with Sirius' hurt ones….her anger melted, and she bit her lip looking as though she wanted to take back what she had just said. Trying not to lose her cool again, Anika said in a much quieter voice this time, "If you can't behave Black, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave! Can YOU behave?"

Sirius decided not to answer her, which was very rude, but he didn't really care. He just hated the fact that even after running away, a part of his family was still connected to him, even if he hadn't seen her since he was a child. Sirius hardly listened as the class went on in fact he spend the whole time trying to make noise by making bubbles with his wand and bursting them, and incredibly enough Anika didn't say anything about this…but as the class gathered up their notes ready to leave she made her way over to him.

"You're gonna have to stay behind Black, we have to talk!" she said looking down on him as he stuffed his books in his bag.

"I don't think so," Sirius said swiftly without bothering to look up, but Anika only laughed, her laughter rather cold, but nothing like the coldhearted ones he was used to. A soft word escaped her lips, so quietly he couldn't make it out, not that he tired too hard anyway.

"Too bad!" she answered as she sat on the desk he and James shared.

"I'm leaving," Sirius said coldly as he tried to get up…but realized his butt was stuck to the chair, and so did James and the others who burst into painful looking laughter and doubled out the classroom door, "did you HAVE to do that?" Sirius asked a bit annoyed…but also impressed.

"No." she answered swiftly and slid a bit back so she could see Sirius' face, "so did Andromeda get to you first or Alfred?"

"What?"

"Well I'm sure you're mother didn't exactly encourage you to go to Gryffindor now did she?" she grinned, and incredibly enough Sirius found himself to do so as well.

"Not exactly. How do you know about Andromeda and Alfred?" Sirius asked, as far as he knew Anika had gone away with the Weird Sisters when he was only about 7, a year before his favorite cousin had become pregnant and announced her wedding plans to a muggle-born Ted Tonks, and WAY before Uncle Alfred had left the family for his gorgeous muggle fiancé…whom he had dumped already…but still renounced the family.

"News travels," she said simply smiling, but then her expression turned cold for a second, "I don't care who you think you are Black, but if you dare to misbehave in MY class, I assure you, you WILL be sorry!"

"That's funny, specially coming out of you!" Sirius laughed harshly, "we all know there all a LOT of things you're family wouldn't consider as misbehavior!"

"Fine! If that's how you're gonna be, then I'll just have to deal with you my way!!!" Anika said sucking her cheeks in, making her face even skinnier…but very sexy at the same time.

"What, have hot fast sex with me?" Sirius sneered at her, but she didn't say anything back, instead she got off the desk her eyebrows slightly raised.



Sirius held back the temptation of yelling out more stuff at her back, and only about 10 seconds after she had left the room did he realize his bottom was magically glued to his seat.



A/N: did you all recognize Dorcas Meadows???????
