"Do these cure all poisons, or simply most?"

Severus looked over at the girl in his house; she was holding one of several Bezoar stones he had in a small crate on a shelf. "Most. I dare say; there isn't an antidote in the world that can cure all poisons."

"Well, that stinks. What do you do if you get bit by something with no cure?"

"Die?"

Kagome threw the bezoar in her hand at her cousin and watched it hit its mark with absolute precision, drawing a pained yelp before bouncing off his head and landing on the desk in front of Severus. The latter of the two raised his brow and waved his wand at the round stone. She watched the bezoar float back to the crate and sighed. "Severus, can we go out for a bit?"

"Wander the streets? Alone? You'll get lost..." he paused for a moment, "on second thought, go ahead."

Draco cracked a grin, still rubbing his head where the bezoar had hit him. "change of heart?"

"I don't think he likes our company, Draco."

Severus shook his head and waved his hand towards the door. It opened with a soft scuttle across the old wooden floors, "be back before nightfall."

Kagome took off running out the door but stopped before she could descend the three steps that led up to the front door of Severus's place. "Whoa..." her eyes trailed over the sight before her, though she could hardly see much past her own hands. "Foggier yet, and colder! Piercing, searching, biting cold." She quoted loudly, turning back and smirking at Severus, she shook her head, "Scrooge."

"I hardly think I'm anything like Ebenezer Scrooge...not nearly as greedy, and what do you know of Muggle Literature."

"I could ask you the same thing; I, however, happened upon the book while waiting for dance class to start." She looked back outside and sighed, "you know we can't go outside in this fog."

"I'm aware," The door shut with another wave of Severus's hand.

Draco shook his head, turning back to the book he'd been reading before Kagome had thrown a Bezoar stone at him. "How did you end up as my Godfather?"

"Many ill-made choices...now...I'm stuck."

Kagome laughed at the gobsmacked look on Draco's face, running over to Severus, she wrapped an arm around his and grinned when he turned his eyes to her, "why not be my Godfather instead?!"

"My dear Miss. Lestrange, only once in my life have I made the same mistake twice, and I plan not to repeat that mistake."

Kagome leaned her head on his shoulder, "you know Severus...you can't really make the same mistake twice...after all, it's only a mistake the first time you make it. The second time makes it a choice."

Lucius smirked at the exhausted look on his friend's face. "Long day?"

"Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike Valentine's Day?"

"At least once every year, my friend. Sit down, share a drink." Lucius motioned towards the decanter on his desk. He wasn't surprised when Severus took a seat across from him. Two drinks were poured, and he and his Slytherin friend settled into a somber mood.

"See you've gotten quite comfortable having Kagome around."

"Well, under the circumstances, you are right. However, it is Kagome who most had to adjust to change."

Severus sipped the amber liquid, "she's gotten quite close to Draco, quite the devious duo."

"Indeed," Lucius motioned towards the window, from where they sat, Kagome and Draco could be seen flying around, twisting out of one another's reach.

"What are they doing?"

"See the ribbon they've tied to their brooms? They try to steal it from one another..." He shook his head, "the two came up with all sorts of interesting little games to better their technique in the air. It's quite enjoyable watching them try to best one another."

"No scoring system?"

"...not to their knowledge." He pulled a small book out of his pocket and handed it over to Severus.

"You keep track of their wins?" Flipping through the pages, Severus smirked, "how will you ever survive once your source of entertainment has gone off to school?"

"Quidditch, my dear friend. Quidditch, may I?" He motioned for the book in Severus's hand.

Handing it over, Severus watched as Lucius marked a line on a page, turning, he saw Kagome flying in circles around Draco, a red flag held tightly in her hand as she laughed. "Cheeky little thing she is..." he stood up and walked to the window. "I get chills looking at her; she's the spitting image of her mother."

"Don't confuse her for Bellatrix, Severus. She has her moments, but that doesn't make her evil. Tell me this, Severus, do the choices I've made make my son evil?"

"I honestly am the worst person to ask...on what makes one good or evil."

The two sat in silence, enjoying their drinks until well into the night. When Severus finally stood up and excused himself, Lucius cleared away the glasses and made his way upstairs to check on the kids. Turning the doorknob to his son's bedroom, he peered inside to see his son was already out cold. Sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of his fathers' evils and past transgressions. Closing the door softly, he made his way a few rooms down to his niece, and saw the light in her room was still on, filtered out from under her door. He knocked lightly on the door and listened as a soft voice called out to enter. Opening the door, he shook his head when he found Kagome on the ground with a resistance band around her feet, pulling and stretching. "How much longer will you be up?"

"Not much longer, Uncle Lucius. I will go to sleep in ten minutes. I promise."

He nodded, "very well. Sleep well tonight, Kagome." He closed the door behind him and turned in for the rest of the night.

Years passed, they came, and went, and finally.

"Kagome! Kagome, they're here!"
