"Everybody when they speak"

R&R

Previously in Dark Child:

"Now I ask from you, as his professors, to keep an eye on him and Mr. Malfoy whom he seems to be on a good terms with. If someone would start to make the students in this school darker, it would be Tudor and Malfoy; they have both strong personalities, power, influence and are good leaders. They could lead our school into darkness if we don't keep an eye on them." The leader of the light finished with a sober expression.

"Severus, as their head of house I give you responsibility of talking to them and trying to get their trust, I want a report from you every Sunday." He got a distant nod as an answer from the stony Potion master.

"Well, I think this meeting is over, tea anyone?" the mood change from sober to cheerful was a welcome one.

Chapter 9: You raise your sticks and cry.

A month had gone since Malignitas' first day at a magical school. It wasn't all that bad, Malignitas had come to realize by this point, but it wasn't as...ah which word to use...exciting as he had hoped for. He couldn't, much to his constant annoyance, even as much as look evilly at the house elves. The professors were constantly on his ass, watching him and his housemates, in and out of class, and they seem to be even more in the mood to watch Draco and himself.

Annoying? Oh yes, Malignitas found it very annoying, he wasn't used to being watched like that: at the Pracepta he could do what ever he liked to outside of class, and at meetings with the inner circle. But here, in this prison they called a school he couldn't do anything; no house elf torturing, talking with snakes or setting up dangerous traps for the Death Eaters. No fun whatsoever. Just schoolwork and trying not to scare the lower years. Malignitas was so very bored at times.

All the constant watching of his person was suspicious, yes and highly irritating. Malignitas hadn't the faintest idea of why he was the object of suspicion all the time: he hadn't really done anything wrong...yet, and he did very well in all of his classes. But the unasked questions about his professors' strange behaviour were soon answered by Lucius. He had sent a letter to his young master a two weeks after school started. Dumbledore had informed the Hogwarts governors that the Minister of Magic had apparently given him orders to expel any students he and his staff felt were dark witches or wizards, or that they thought were trying to turn students from the light.

He quoted Dumbledore in his letter "If we are going to get rid of the weeds, we must pull them up before they grow strong roots".

He had been very pleased with this information, but now wondered what he should do about it, he couldn't make them stop watching him of course, but should he tone himself down or act like normal? It wouldn't go well with the Dark Lord's plan for him if he was expelled, not well at all. So Malignitas did the only thing he felt he could do in his place: he wrote his father:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Father,

Since my last letter to you something which may irk your plan for me here at Hogwarts has occurred. I'm sure Lucius has told you that Dumbledore will expel any student he or his staff thinks is not 'light' enough for their precious school. I have, with this new rule and suspicious behaviour from the professors, found myself in an awkward position where I've been watched in and out of class. Lucius' son and I seem to be the two students they want to get for dealings with the dark side.

I would like with this letter to ask for your advice of what I should do in this position. As things are now, your plan is difficult to go through with without getting expelled.

Your faithfully son.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And ever since he had received an answer from his father, he had followed Voldemort's new plan:

Malignitas was to act less dark and more like the prime student from Norway. He was only in his fourth year and had all the time in the world to corrupt the student body. As for now, the new plan was to make himself a reputation as a strong and wise boy. He was not to speak of the dark and light side, should the conversation occur, then he was to change the topic. He would appear neutral in his actions, and be a Ravenclaw with Slytherin intentions.

If he acted like this he would slowly get the students to trust and look up to him as a leader. And more importantly he would not give the headmaster any reason to expel him. The two of them also hoped that after a year of watching him and seeing that he was no threat, the professors would lessen the watching of him and Malfoy.

But there was a difficult side to this plan, and that was to change Draco Malfoy's personality. Malfoy's were dark, arrogant, snobbish, and proud. Malignitas couldn't let Draco be a Malfoy anymore. It was very hard for Draco, even with his long chat with his father and Malignitas and the demanding letter from his Lord. He was trying, but his traitorous Malfoy mouth was always making things more difficult than necessary.

Draco's view

Why wouldn't his mind co-operate with his mouth?

Why would his mind think up nice lines such as, "Yes, was there something you wanted, Granger?" but then his mouth decided to say, "What do you want Mudblood?" and throw in a sneer to make Malignitas even more angry with him...?

The raven-haired boy was glaring at him again. He had just threatened Weasley with some nasty dark curse because he had spoken badly of him to a fellow classmate.

"Hva er det som feiler deg!? Slutt å rynke på nesen og prøv og konsentrer deg om planen før jeg blir nødt å tvinge deg til det med mindre vennlige metoder! What's wrong with you!? Stop sneering and try to concentrate on the plan before I'm forced to make you with less than friendly methods!" Malignitas gave him a cold glare before he walked away, ignoring the lions and expecting the blond to follow right behind him silently.

"That's right Malfoy, just walk away like the slimy snake you are!" Malcolm yelled after him and his two sidekicks joined him in his spiteful laughter. But Draco just kept his eyes locked on his friend's back and bit his teeth together, walking in a straight line away from the laughter.

He could do this, he just needed some time. And to curse Weasley one more time, just one little nasty curse, so he could play it in his head over and over again to get through this year.

But there was one more thing that irked him. How can Malignitas change his dark and arrogant personality just like that? How can he act like nothing's bothering him anymore: their smirks, arrogant smiles, spiteful laughter and bad comebacks?

How? How can he take the professors' stares, their endless watchful eyes seeking for a dark curse on your lips? Waiting for you to slip, make a mistake. Waiting, just waiting to expel you. How?

But no matter what Draco thought, Malignitas didn't find it easy to ignore the watchful eyes, the smirks and smiles. He was just a better actor then Draco, he knew discipline, knew how to put on a fake smile. Even if it took all his energy away, he would not disappoint his father.

The Tudor/Malfoy room, the Dungeons, Hogwarts

They were sitting in their room; Draco had been doing better lately, but there had been a step backwards in today's Care of Magical Creatures class. Hagrid, the teacher, was a half-breed of Human/Giant, and Draco really didn't like him. Malignitas didn't like him either, but the blond really despised him. So today he had let a nasty comeback slip his lips when the half-breed made them feed Giant Wort Pigs with dead rats.

"I'm sorry Malignitas. I just, he just...I'm really trying..." Draco groaned frustrated and let himself fall face-down on his bed, he didn't even want to see the disappointed look he knew would be on his friend and mentor's face.

Malignitas sat up and closed his DADA book as he looked over at Draco who now lay with his hands over his face.

"I know Draco. I think we must see this differently. The plan was also to be seen as prime students so that the professors will think of us as nice Ravenclaws and think we don't spend time doing anything but studying. If we can take up this role, the students and teachers will let any strange behaviour from you once in a while slid. They will simply ignore anything they don't want to see.

"So that is what we must do. We must become the best students in Hogwarts and turn their disapproving eyes away from ourselves. Why would their prime students be evil?

"Now, finish that DADA work and after that we can practice on the Mutuus spell for the Transfiguration class on Friday."

Draco groaned even more and Malignitas sent him his 'yes, I'm evil' smile.

Transfiguration class, locations uncertain, Hogwarts

"Now I hope you have all practiced this spell on your own as you were told". McGonagall looked over her Hufflepuff and Slytherin fourth year students; some meet her eyes with determined eyes of their own, some with indifference and some with guilt. The two students she was supposed to keep an eye on were sitting at their usual desk, together and with their wands and spell object at a ready.

"Well let us start then. Did anyone of you manage to do a successful transfiguration?"

Of all of her 19 (1) students 3 Hufflepuffs and 6 Slytherins lifted their hands.

"Good, good. Would you like to show us how it's done Mr. Tudor?" The transfiguration Professor levelled him with a sharp glance.

"Of course Madam (2)". Malignitas nodded his head with a smile to his Professors and pointed his wand at his two test objects. At the end of his wand were two animals: one old grey owl and one brown rat.

The new Slytherin concentrated on the spell and what it should do. He made a perfect example of the wand movement McGonagall had showed them some days ago and pronounced the spell.

"Mutuus Plenus".

A dark yellow light shot out of his Holly wand, split in two and hit each of the two animals. The light engulfed them, and as it slowly went away visible changes were happening with the animals. The owl was slowly getting younger and getting back its young feathers. But at the same time the young brown rat was ageing, getting older and greyer by the second.

The Mutuus spell was an interchange transfiguration which made two objects change age.

McGonagall nodded to him approvingly, "Very good Mr. Tudor, 10 points to Slytherin. Now can anyone explain with their own words how this spell works in theory and its history?"

Malignitas nodded his head to his Professors in gratitude for the points he was given, and nudged his blond friend for him to answer their Professor.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy."

"The Mutuus spell was invented in 1827 by the German Duke Hanz Wischman………"

Severus private rooms, the dungeon, Hogwarts

Severus was having a bad week; no he was having a bad year ………a bad life really. But that was beside the point. The thing that was making this year more miserable than the previous years was really a person. Malignitas Facies Tudor. His mere name made Severus sneer with badly contained anger.

"I give you responsibility of talking to them and trying to get their trust", he mimicked the headmaster and glared down on his weekly report to said man.

How was he to make a weekly report on the two students from hell when he couldn't get them to TALK to him!?! Nearly every day he had tried to talk to either one of them, first Draco since he always had been his favourite student. But the blond would worm his way out of the conversation every time the subject was non-school related or about the blond and Mr. Tudor came up. Snape soon figured that Tudor had Malfoy under his tomb. The two were hardly ever seen away from each other. Tudor did one thing and Malfoy did the same, Tudor said one thing and Malfoy did what he said. But the real problem here was that, on the outside, the changes in Malfoy, the new him, the new way his acted, were all for the better! Malignitas Tudor had with annoying skill and cleverness, made a proud, rude, arrogant and snobbish Malfoy into a respectful -still proud, always proud- and intelligent prime student. The two of them was unique, unbeatable, respected, strong and irritating close mouthed. They were hardly seen out of their rooms if they didn't do anything school related. They had with little effort earned themselves a private table in the library, two seats at the head of the Slytherin table and a whole section of the common room. They were the kings of Slytherin, and even though no one would say it out loud; Malignitas Facies Tudor was the high king, the supreme lord of the snake house, the leader of the two kings.

And even if he was their Professor and Head of House they would not talk to him for more then some minutes, never letting him get them to trust him and want to confirm with him. He could not get a single word out of their mouths, and Tudor was the worst of the two. The young man -he could hardly been called a boy- was annoyingly respectful and answered his every question with political skills and slyness. It seems like the green eyes man never slipped, never stepped an inch to fare, never let Severus gain anything useful out of their many conversations and discussions. And Severus hated and respected him for it.

The said Professor filled a glass of Scotch before he sat down and looked at his report again. It had been a month since Albus had asked him to talk to the two students and gain their trust. And well……..that hadn't worked so fare and every report to the white haired man had contained around four lines stating Severus failure in getting the information he was entrusted to gain.

The potion master bottomed the glass and let his greasy head thump down on the deck.

Bloody brats.

The Gryffindor common room, 7th floor (base of Gryffindor Tower), Hogwarts

"I can not believe it, they did it again!" Hermoine Granger was yet again throwing booklets, quills and test results around the Gryffindor common room, making the once horrible red and golden room look white like fresh snow.

Malcolm Shiri (Pronounced: Shee-ry) walked down the stairs from the fourth year boy dorm and picked a torn parchment of his shoulder as he landed on the floor.

"What is it now Hermione?" he asked with as much patience as he could measure at the moment while he made a path towards his friend by kicking the parchments away. This act of hers had happen too often this last weeks. He and the other Lions were plain sick of cleaning up after her fits of rage.

The bushy haired girl swirled around and strode towards him, her eyes big and full of rage and her lips curled into a sneer. "This……it's what it is Malcolm, THIS!" She pushed a curled parchment into his face and stood with her arms crust and foot stamping the parchment white floor, waiting for him to look at it.

And as soon as the male part of the party had read the letter he understood perfectly what IT was. At the top was a letter and at the bottom of the parchment was a comment written in the same small annoying writing of the little Charm Professor.

He looked at her with a sorrowful and understanding expression, and she let herself be lead over to the nearly intact sofa. They just sat there for a moment before Hermione broke down in cries again.

"How, how is it possible. I was the best, have always been. The Professors liked me, they liked me best, gave me the best grades, ME!" She threw herself at her friend, needing comfort.

"I know Mione, they must be doing something illegal, some dark magic. They're Death Eater, they're doing something to the Professors, there are no way they're better than you. They're not better than you in anything Mione, do you hear me? YOU are the best, they're sheathing. You are best!"

Malcolm was sitting with Hermione in his lap, slowly stroking down her hair an hour later when Ron finally saw it safe to come down. It was always Malcolm who dealt with Hermione when she was in one of her moods; no other person could get her to calm down enough for her to not kill them.

"She's okay?" Ron asked concerned as Malcolm handled her limp body over to Ron who like his brown haired friend placed her in his lap making sure not to wake her.

Malcolm pressed his palms to his face and pushed on his eyeballs till he saw black sparks, before he groaned and turned to his other best friend.

"No she's not. It's getting to her head, they're getting to her head. We need to stop them, she can't go on like this, we can't go on like this! I don't know what they are doing, but they are doing something." Malcolm picked up Hermione's last Charms test and showed it to Ron.

"She got an O, but if you look at the comment on the bottom you will see that the Professor looks at it as a weak O and that he suggests that she ask Tudor and Malfoy for advice on what she did wrong since they both had excellent results on their tests, especially Tudor, he is apparently a natural."

Ron in his anger clench his hands a little to hard and made his sleeping friends stir, he un-clenched his fist again and waited for the girl to fall to sleep again before he met Malcolm's blue/grey eyes with his determent brown once.

"Yes let's get them for what they've done to Hermione. Let's make them pay!"

Malcolm Shiri smiled a cruel smile, which made you wonder about his heritage, and looked out the window towards the forbidden forest. "Yes, let's."

The Slytherin table, the Great Hall, Hogwarts

"Malignitas? The Gryffindors are planning something." Draco informed his friend in a bored tone as they were seated at their seats by the house table eating today's dinner. Neither of them looked over to the red and golden table on their right.

"Are they really, what made you think such a thought?" the dark haired young man said with perfect arrogance as he sliced his meat into mouthful squares. Draco knew when he was mocked and continued his dinner at the same manner as Malignitas. But he got too curious when he saw Shiri, Weasley, Granger, Brown, Tomas and Finnegan whispering loudly, waving their arms around and shooting glares over to Malignitas and himself.

"Are you going to do something about it?" he asked, still not looking up from his meal. Malignitas put down his fork and reached over Draco to get some rice.

"No I'm not." He said shortly before he switched languages, and by doing so telling the other Slytherin students this was a private matter.

(French)" I'm just going to sit back and let them have their fun. When they come for us we will just act like we are not suspicion about them. We will not fight them, I'm sure they really couldn't harm us even if they really wanted to. We can get out of what ever they have in mind. If it is a prank, we just have to turn it around and make them look stupid, if it is an ambush, we both know who is going to win."

"(Latin) Of course, but what if they start a rumour or something similar?"

"(Latin)If that accurse we will just start a worst one about them to bring the spotlight away from us. But even if they do start a rumour I hardly think they have brains enough to make it seem possible, and who are the student body going to believe, Hogwarts two prime students or Hogwarts most arrogant trouble makes?"

Draco allowed a small smile to bless his face, "You're right of course Malignitas, I think this might turn out to be very entertaining for the two of us."

"Yes of course it will."

The Charms corridor, third floor, Hogwarts

The next morning found Malcolm, Ron and Hermoine down in the Charms corridor hurled together in a circle whispering to loudly for it to really be called whispering.

"Are you sure about this Malcolm? Why can't we just jump them and make them admit that they're using dark magic to get better grades than Hermione?" Malcolm rolled his eyes skywards.

"Because Ron……they're slimy Slytherins so we need to be just as sly and patient as them! We will wait and watch them, see if we can figure something out, what exactly are they doing; could be a potion or a spell? And……," here Malcolm looked around at the party of Gryffindors with a glint in his blue/grey eyes, "if that don't work we go back to Gryffindor tactics and try to press it out of them. But to do that we must have an idea of what scares them or gets to them. And today at DADA we have an excellent chance to get to know just that. Hermione would you like to explain?"

The brown haired girl drew herself up and went into Professor modus.

"Yes, I talked to Professor Lupin yesterday so I could be more prepared for his future classes, and he told me that in today's class we were to practice the Riddikulus spell. As you probably already know the spell is used when you a faced with a Boggart who has change into your worst fear. Professor Lupin has a Boggart in a closet and will set it on every student in class today. And as we have class together with the Slytherins we will see what Tudor and Malfoy fears the most and use it against them." Hermione said with pride and was pleased with the boys' reactions.

"That's brilliant Mione, this is wicked I can't wait to see Tudor scared shitless."

The staircases from forth to the third floor, Hogwarts

Malignitas was oddly enough walking down towards the Great Hall from the top of West Tower without Draco by his side; the said boy was already in the Hall since Malignitas had told him to go as he had a letter to send. It had just been a little report to his father telling him about Malignitas progress of their plan. It was going quite well, but he was worried about a potion they were supposed to make and take in potion in two weeks. Snape had told him about the Heritage potion Parentalis in one of his many chats with Malignitas. When it was perfectly made you were to drip two drops of your blood in the potion and smear the base on a piece of parchment, and then the base would form into letters stating the name of you father and mother. And since Malignitas' parents weren't who he said they were that might be a problem, especially if they got to know that he was the Potter heir…….

Yes he knew he wasn't really his father's son, and had long since known that his real parents had been light wizards named Lily Evans and James Potter. Anything else had been left for later discussions. And know Malignitas felt it fit to ask his father to explain how he came to be Malignitas Facies. So he asked for a meeting with his father before the potion class, he only hoped Voldemort had time for him, or could snick him out of school without the white bearded man noticing it.

He was thinking about different ways to get out of the one potion class when he saw the Gryffindor trio some feet away from him down the hall, so he stayed behind and listened to their discussion.

"So you all know what to do right? Get behind the line and try to make Tudor and Malfoy go first, if we're lucky we don't have to face the Boggart."

Shiri said quietly to his best friends as they were waiting for Finnigan to show up. They had made him their spy and set him out to find out more about Tudor and Malfoy's daytime activities. They nodded their heads to Shiri in silent agreement, but didn't notice the dark haired person they were talking about show up behind them wearing an emotionless expression.

"This may come as a surprise to you, Shiri, but I can still hear you even if you can't hear me!" he drawled with a bored tone.

The three of them swirled around surprised by his presence and closeness. "You won't be so cocky when you face the Bogart in today's DADA class Tudor, you'll be scared shitless I'm sure." Ron barked at Malignitas and smiled triumphantly as Malignitas raised an eyebrow and closed him mouth. The Slytherin turned around not saying a thing but let his lips form into a small smirk as he walk away saying; (Norwegian)"Brain dead Lions…!"

Ron looked confused, Malcolm shock his head and Hermione glared at Ron. "Good job Ron, you ass!" she said and poked him with her transfiguration book. Ronald looked even more confused now.

"What? What did I do?"

"You ruined the element of the surprise you idiot!"

"Element of surprise? What the fuck Hermione? I made him nervous, he's probably going to slip up now, make a mistake or something."

"Yeah right, of course…….He's not going to be nervous, that scum don't get nervous, he hasn't the heart for it!"

"Haha very funny Hermione, of course he's going to get nervous, didn't you see his face?"

"See his face, see his face Ron!?!"

"Yeah, see his face, are you hearing badly, been neglecting your personal hygiene lately?"

"Why I've never, listen up you prick, I….."

Oh for Merlin's sake………….!

The Slytherin table, the Great Hall, hogwarts

(Bulgarian)" They're going to 'get' us in DADA class today. They said Lupin had a Bogart so we are probably practicing the Riddikulus spell. I think they're hoping to see our worst fears and use it against us, how dreadfully Slytherin of them. Malignitas said with a delighted smirk.

Draco looked up at Malignitas as he sat down in his usually seat. (Bulgarian)" Though we will also see what their worst fears are, how very Gryffindor of them, not bothering thinking things through." He said with a smirk of his own.

"Yes quite. It was expected of course, Isis forbid they were anything but stupid. (French)" But their plan won't go as well as they had hoped. I have a spell that will help us lessen our feelings of fear for a short period of time. It's actually an Elfish spell the elves use when young elves go out hunting for dangerous animals for the first time. And angry wolf running strait at you can be quite terrifying even for the boldest elf. I will perform it on you in our room before we go up to DADA. The Bogart will still take the shape of the thing you fear the most, but since you feel less fear then normal you will be able to make it disappear faster, hopefully before they really realize what it is".

(Norwegian)"And the name of this spell is…?". Malignitas gave him a stone-cold smile. (Norwegian)"It's Audacte, but you wouldn't be able to cast it. You do not know the ancient Elfin language do you Draco dear? No? Didn't think you did."

TBC

No comment…………………..I'm lazy.

There are 10 from Hufflepuff and 9 from Slytherin in this class.

It looks like Malignitas is being polite, well he is – on the outside – but in his head he calls her madam with the intention for being rude as madam can also mean a the lady of a whorehouse, much like a female pimp.

CrimsonReality: Hey thanks, I've written one place in this chapter how you pronouns his last name.

gtkoolie93: You may be right, haven't really looked it up. But some might turn 18 before they're finished with their 17th year because they turned 11 after 1th September and thereby couldn't start at Hogwarts before a year later.

dead feather Oh hey, Malignitas must be in Slytherin because of Voldemort's pride for the House even though it might be better in the long run, he would never have his son in Hufflepuff no matter what.

shadow of the black abyss The parent question I'm sure you got answered in this chapter, but he other once I haven't thought so much about, we will see. But I must warn you it's crucial for the plot that at least one of the characters are gay, but it wont turn into a slash story because of that.

Shadowed Rains; Then I'm sure you will be pleased with my plan about making some of the main characters gay but not turning it into a romantic story, that would TOTALLY kill the plot. Malignitas falling in love and sending red roses to his beloved...oh god that's horrible!

BalrogGodZanus Granger hasn't been studying Latin before but will now that the two evil boys can it, and she'll soon find out what Malignitas name means. I don't know about this Malignitas getting too angry to control him bit though, it's not very dark-lord-son-ish now is it, we'll see.

Michele Malfoy No Draco isn't just respecting Malignitas because Lucius told him too, he befriended Mali at first because his father told him to but found him interesting and powerful and respect him for being himself now that he have came to know him and seen his obvious power.

Fan of Great Works: NO, that I can not do! The Dark Lords son do not have nice name for crying out loud! And he doing give others nicknames either it's too un-dark and evil wizard-ly. But of course the childish Lions will have nicknames for each other.

Teardrop Twilight Dumbledore and Fudge together can plot anything they like and get it done because of peoples fear for the dark wizards who is getting lager by number by the minute. And his an ass…….!

Like Totally Like Thanks, yes the pronounce might be a bit hard, but keep in mind that it's Latin, But I pronounce it Maly-gny-thass in my head, but I wouldn't trust my head if I were you.
