Voldemorte's Downfall

Chapter seven: Fiona

When the group reached the Great Hall, Loki hung back, watching Malfoy and Fiona. Fiona noticed her and moved closer, shooing Malfoy. Loki smiled.

"Hi. Let me be among the first to welcome you to Hogwarts. I'm Loki."

Fiona grinned back. "Fiona."

"I know."

Fiona studied Loki's face, her grin widening. "You have a history with Draco, right?"

Loki nodded. "I dated him. Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Um, are you dating him?"

Fiona frowned. "Hell no! Draco's my brother! I'm Fiona Malfoy."

Loki's grin widened. "Oh! Well, I thought...Malfoy's an ass, so I didn't assume you were related."

Fiona grinned. "Tell me about it. Anyways, you look sort of familiar. Maybe I know someone you're related to?"

"Sirius Black" She smiled at the look on Fiona's face. "Yep, that's right. He's my dad."

Fiona pursed her lips. "Oh, yeah, now that I think about it, you do kinda look like Black." She paused, then began, "You know, Black was..."

"Not a big supporter of Voldemorte." Loki said pointedly.

Fiona rolled her eyes. "I know that." She looked around; making sure no one could hear her. "Hello, my dad is a Death Eater. I'd know if Black was too. I was trying to say that he and my dad were, really ironically, good friends."

Loki shrugged. "Yeah, right up to the moment when your dad killed him."

Fiona frowned again. "Not possible. Dad was really upset when he died."

Loki shook her head. "I watched it with my own eyes. Lucius Malfoy killed Sirius Black."

Fiona's eyes darkened. "You're lying. My father would never have hurt Sirius Black." She turned to leave, but paused and turned back. "Let me warn you, Loki Black. No one crosses Fiona Malfoy, got it?

Loki laughed bitterly. "You've got it backwards, Fiona Malfoy. No one crosses Loki Black." She leaned forward to add in a whisper, "That is, no one who wants to stay alive."

Fiona snorted. "My father is a school governor. Try it. See how fast you're expelled and thrown in Azkaban. Just like your good-for-nothing father."

Loki's eyes narrowed. They flashed dangerously. Her voice was no more then a whisper. "Don't tempt me. I'd be more then happy to hurt you. And I won't get in trouble, because how many people are gonna listen to a Death Eater, anyway?" She paused, then added, "Oh, and if you ever say anything about my father again, I will kill you, got it?" Fiona glared a moment, then flounced away. Loki glowered for a few minutes before Harry found her.
