The next morning was very uneventful for the mysterious boy known as Flaw, however it was quite the opposite for everyone else. As if the boys strange arrival as a transfer student wasn't enough, he was also seen escorting the Slytherin's very own Ice Queen down to breakfast. The weird part was, Daphne was actually holding onto the boy's arm and not the other way around. She had been seen with a few boys before but she always looked bored and uninterested but not this time. This time was different. She was clearly trying to keep Flaw's attention as they walked into the Great Hall and over towards the Slytherin table. This was like gas to a flame, more than enough to light the fires of the famed Hogwarts rumor mills as all sorts of bizarre theories were flying about the castle by lunch time.

Flaw didn't attempt to correct any of the rumors directed at him but there was an incident where a couple of Gryffindors were sent to the Hospital Wing due to a severe case of flaming testicles after saying some very suggestive things about Ms. Greengrass and a secluded broom cupboard. Had anyone asked the poor gryffs about the incident, they all shook their heads back and forth furiously refusing to say anything. Later, when Flaw had made his way into the Great hall, the boys were seen scrambling to get out of their seats and shortly after, running out of the great hall as if being chased by dementors.

It was towards the end of dinner when both Flaw and Daphne had walked out together, Daphne wrapping her slender arms around Flaw's right as he escorted them away from the noise. They walked down the corridor in silence before Daphne directed him towards an unused classroom. She unlocked the door with a spell before leading them both inside. Before she spoke, she turned around and locked the door behind them.

"Why are you here?" Daphne said from the room. "You know i'm safe here at Hogwarts."

Flaw responded with a scratchy deep tone that almost caused Daphne to shiver

"Your father doesn't think so. With the dangerous events that occur here he decided to be safe rather then sorry."

Daphne didn't know how to feel about this. On one hand she loved having Flaw around. Despite the horrid name he goes by she liked everything about him. His dark eyes that peer straight into the soul and his undying loyalty to her made her very happy and feel safe. On the other hand she didn't know if this is what he really wanted, and would likely never know.

She peered at him from across the classroom. Looking for any trace of emotion on his face. Something to tell her that he really did want this and could control himself. She never found more than she usually did. She sighed and hung her head a bit.

"Is there something I can do Daphne?" Flaw was standing in front of her now. She hadn't noticed his approach. She closed the gap between them and standing on her toes she rested her chin on his shoulder, her lips next to his ear.

"Would you leave with me?" She whispered in his ear. "If I asked you to run away with me, right now. Would you do it?" Daphne whispered quietly.

"Yes."

She leaned back slightly to look into his eyes. They had softened ever so slightly.

"Thank you"

He said nothing but wrapped his arms around her waist. They stood like this for a moment before he spoke.

"Tracy is looking for you and will be here shortly" he spoke to her. She nodded before slowly separating herself from him. He made his way toward the door before she spoke again. "You could stay, you know. Tracy doesn't mind." She said looking up at him. He smiled at her before shaking his head briefly.

"It would be inappropriate for me to be alone in a locked classroom with two lovely women. I'll be waiting in the common room for you to return." He said exiting the room.

Daphne was placated by the compliment for the most part but was a little jealous he thought of her friend as attractive also. She brushed it off however and remained seated. Several minutes later, Tracy was knocking at the door.

"Come in." Daphne said.

Tracy quickly entered and closed the door before turning to her friend with bright eyes and a smile that melted Daphne's facade almost instantly. Tracy began speaking quickly and excitedly.

"Daphne! Why didn't you tell me He was coming to Hogwarts this year! This is a big deal." Tracy said pacing in front of Daphne. She smiled at her friend's excitement.

"I didn't know he was coming either Trace, and he wouldn't tell me. All he said was my father wanted to be safe rather than sorry, what with all the dangerous events going on around the school."

Tracey looked at her friend with a small amount of pity before it disappeared and bubbly Tracy came back. She continued talking her friend's ear off, almost causing them to be out past curfew. When the pair had returned to the common room, Tracy began looking around for Flaw but couldn't find him.

"Shouldn't he be waiting in here for you?" She asked Daphne, to which she smiled. "He's actually right over there." Daphne pointed to a chair across the room that Tracy hadn't noticed before. See, Flaw utilized a special type of personal magic that Daphne alone was tied to. So when this was active, only Daphne really noticed him. Actually, it even drew her towards him. Daphne liked how his magic worked. It always made her feel safe and warm…"

"Daphne, stop daydreaming about him and let's go" Tracy broke Daphne away from her train of thought and the pair made there way over to him.

The two girls approached him and sat down on a loveseat the was positioned in front of Flaw's chair.

"It's good to see you Ms. Davis. How was your summer?" Flaw spoke as the two were sitting down.

"Very excellent Flaw, thank you for asking. I did expect some amount of communication from you however and received none." Tracy said with a pout on her face.

"I'm sorry Ms. Davis, my duties had me otherwise occupied for the entirety of the summer. Perhaps now that we are in school together this would quench your desire for my attention."

Tracy blushed when he had finished speaking, not expecting him to have spoken so candidly. She quickly smiled back before responding in kind.

"Well, I was hoping for some alone time with you but I guess this will have to suffice." She finished with a grin.

All while this is going on, Daphne was sitting still and listening. This kind of banter was common from Tracy but Flaw had never responded like this before. This worried her and made her want to exercise the control she had over him more but deciding against it for now.

After a few more minutes of polite chatter amongst their group, it was decided that they would go to sleep. Daphne and Tracy departed for their rooms and Flaw departed for his. Except when Flaw got to his room, he didn't go to bed. He went to one of the spare rooms he added originally and closed the door. Walking over to a large full length mirror on the wall, he tapped a rune pattern carved on the frame of the mirror in a sequence before speaking.

"Call, Lord Greengrass."
