Sorted and seated Kaley watched the others while they sat at there new house table surprisingly they weren't all in the same house
When all the students were sorted into their respective houses and seated Kaley watched the Cullen's children are divided they all sat at their new house tables. Surprisingly they were not all in the same house they had literally been divided up between the houses. Kaley was even more surprised and shocked when she saw them eating food. They were all attempting to eat and try and be as normal as they could. She found this a little amusing, odd yes it was but amusing still. They really had worked hard to make her proud. She was even surprised that her cousin Bella a newbie to vampire life. When last Kaley had seen Bella she had been a danger to anyone magical. She had been eager and thrilled to try even a small taste of magical blood. Now though she was well behaved she was normal now. With this in mind Kaley found that maybe perhaps they could get through this situation with no complications. Maybe a normal year for once with her special students.
She determined that at this point to take a look over at Albus who with a wide smile on his face as his clear blue eyes took in his students. She rolled her eyes at him; he knew that he had been right. That Kaley was proud of her new found students extremely proud actually. Learning to show emotions and in point of fact eat; this was a feat for the history books for vampires. She knew how much it hurt them to eat and here they were still putting up the pretence of it all. In her past years she knew of a few rare vampires who had knowledge on how to do these simple things. Who could fake their emotions and eat food with no burning pain. But they had all been at least almost a century or older. This would certainly calm Kaley's fevered dreams for the next 7 years with them here.
Kaley decided that it was about time she ate something herself. But taking a look down at her food she simply pushed it away. It wasn't that Hogwarts food was horrible she actually quite enjoyed what the house elves made every night. But somehow she wasn't really hungry at the moment. She started to think of Adrien in the little classroom not far away from all her beloved students. Just the sheer thought of that monster around all these students took her appetite away. She wouldn't lie she was extremely agitated and a little bit scared with Adrien here. Adrien and she had never got along; she knew that he had changed immensely since the first time the two of them had met. But unfortunately she could she would never allow herself to forget what had happened. The thought of him still stalked her nightmares on those sleepless nights alone.
"Professor Kaley!" two male voices sounded in unison snapping her out of her memories.
She looked up and saw Fred and George Weasley waving for her to come down to the Gryffindor table. The only problem with being such a young professor was that all her students practically adored her classes. For one she didn't make them boring and similar to a lecture hall so there were a couple brownie points for her. But every student had voted a couple years ago, some of them were still here to this day. They had voted on naming who was the best professor at Hogwarts. So not only did she win that vote but certain individuals had also decided to name her the coolest professor ever to work at Hogwarts. It was a tad embarrassing after all she was no better at her job then anyone else of the other professors. She usually liked to go and meet the new students especially at her old house Gryffindor. That was the only reason Fred and George were calling her over, because they both knew she liked to do that. But with her cousin and Edward there she felt it might be a little weird for them to see her like that just yet. After all if she remembered correctly neither of them had ever seen her really in that sort of light that she held now here at Hogwarts. A comfortable nice professor who taught with her heart, who shared who she was. Almost who she was that was. She shook her head at them both and smiled as they pretended to pout. She knew that Fred and George would certainly get her later for this with one of their pranks or tricks.
She had bigger problems though at the moment to worry about. She wasn't afraid of the threats of two little kids playing say a prank on her. This was nothing compared to the danger that lurked just across the Great Hall. She still couldn't understand why Albus would ask Adrien here? Was this meant as a test to see if she would break from the strain of everything that was going on? If so she was beginning to feel the strain if it all. But how could he? How could he even think about having Adrien here let alone invite the dirty bloodsucker into Hogwarts? She turned her attention to Albus and looking at him she noticed that he was deliberately not looking in her direction now. What was this kindergarten? Sighing she thought to herself is he really going to be a little child about this. He knew very well that she would be pissed about the situation, that she was pissed about the situation. He had placed or more like shoved her into the middle of all of this. Kaley finally got up and came to stand right beside his chair. She waited patiently till finally he had no choice but to turn to look at her. There was only so long you could ignore somebody for.
"I know you're mad but we need someone to keep them preoccupied at night Kaley." Albus stated as he turned around and sighing as he stood up to her level, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I knew you would run away if I had given this information to you earlier. Don't try and argue that point either. You and I both know it's true!"
"True or not Albus you and I both know that I had a right to know this before hand." Kaley whispered softly trying to stay as calm as she possible could, "You of all people know why I hate that monster."
"Of course you had a right to know, you have more right then anyone at this school to know when a dangerous creature like him is coming here." Albus stated his voice filled with guilt, "But you have to understand with your history with the man it's a little hard to trust what your reaction will be. Please do not be angry with me Kaley."
"Why would I ever be mad for Albus? Only that you've invited a tremendously deadly monster to stay here at the school full of life and blood for him to live off?" Kaley stated keeping her face completely upbeat and smiling the entire time she spoke to him, "After all he's only been trying to-"
"He has given me his word of honour that he is done with that." Albus interrupted his blue eyes intently looking into her soft green eyes trying to convince her that everything would be all right, "I promise nothing bad is going to happen."
"I'll be the judge of that." Kaley moved to walk away only to have Albus grab her wrist, "What is it Headmaster?"
"Kaley don't use that on me, you know I had no choice who else could keep them in line without hurting them out of frustration?" Albus stated softly pleading with her to see his side, "Please do not be angry with me Kaley. My hands are tied when it comes to this."
"You should by now know that I'm never angry with you just angry with the circumstances of the situation I've been thrown into." She stated finally she grinned a real grin this time at him, "It'll be fine I'll figure something out. I have instructed that they come up here at the end of the feast. Will you please bring them to the other small classroom for me? The one we usually use might be a little destroyed at the moment. I have to go and deal with a certain someone."
"Yes of course Kaley I will take them there." Albus whispered nodding his head he released her hand.
She walked from the teacher's table and down past the Gryffindor table saying hello to familiar faces and stopping here and there. She stopped by Fred and George and seeing that her three troublemakers were sitting by them as well. She lightly smacked them both on the heads as she continued to walk. She turned around and gave them a wink to. They knew then that tomorrow would be an easy class it was her own little code with the students. You could see there excitement in there eyes plain as day as they tried there hardest to hide the excitement from there faces. At last she stopped by Bella and Edward and kneeling down by them they were virtually isolated from the others. The other students that sat close to them tried there hardest to stay as far away as possible. Good thing they had each other or they would've been alone for the remainder of the year to come.
"Albus will be taking you to a new classroom afterwards please follow him accordingly and I will see you all there." Kaley whispered softly shaking both there hands as if she was introducing herself to them, "Please behave with Albus that man is like a second father to me. I will see you then."
"Why aren't you taking us Kaley?" Bella quickly asked before Kaley left.
"Because I unfortunately have a nuisance to deal with at the moment." Kaley stated rolling her eyes as she formed a frown on her face, "I'm very sorry Bella but I will be there as soon as I possibly can."
"Why do you hate Adrien so much Kaley?" Edward as well interjected quickly.
"You can ask him that when you see him next." Kaley said her eyes were as cold as the night's sky as they stared into Edward's eyes bearing him down with there intensity, "I'm sure he'll love to recount his exploits for you. He generally loves to do just that."
She gave Edward nor Bella any chance to speak more. She walked quickly from the Great Hall pleased some what to leave the cheerful happy atmosphere. She closed the great doors behind her knowing that Albus would be beginning his speech to the first years soon. He always perfered to have the doors closed as it was she just simply made it easier for the caretaker. She walked her step measured and careful. She really didn't want to go towards the classroom. Actually she wanted nothing more to do with classroom let alone what was in the classroom. This just wasn't really fair, at that moment of thought her fathers words rang clear in her head. Clear as day they spoke to her saying that life itself was never fair, not to adults, children, or teenagers. Life took what it wanted from you torturing you with the emotions that humans felt. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she stood not a foot away from the door. Her father had always believed so feverently on that. She allowed for just a brief moment to remember her fathers smell to remember how it felt when he would wrap his arms around her. No one really understood those simple touches and words till you could no longer hear not feel them. This was neither the time nor place to remember these kind of things.
Quickly she wiped what little tears had welled up. As her hand went to grab the door know she couldn't help but think about Adrien. If she could only just kill Adrien and be done with it she would. It wasn't as though anyone would actually miss him. After all vampires generally didn't have family nor friends. An extremely distrustful breed of creatures they usually kept to themselves. As far as Kaley knew Adrien didn't have anyone to talk to let alone care about. Though what she knew about Adrien could probably fill a book on what she knew about or understood about life. She thought that maybe a few vampires would lose there hero but did she really care about that? No. At least she'd be rid of one pain in her ass if she did. Then again if she did Albus would be greatly pissed off at her. Taking a deep breath she grabbed the door know and entered the room. She quickly turned and closed the door behind her.
She didn't really want to turn around and see Adrien standing there glaring at her. But she wasn't a child she couldn't very well enter the room and just simply ignore him. So she slowly turned around and at what first was confusion turned into humor. She couldn't control herself she burst out laughing as she saw how Adrien was. He was glaring at her with those stunning grey eyes of his. He had been trying to break the shackles and of course with no luck. He had used all his tricks and magic's to try breaking them. In the process he had somehow managed to get himself stuck to the candle rack that hung from the ceiling. He was hanging upside down spinning around slowly, with the shackles still wrapped around him all perfectly in place. She had told him he wouldn't be able to get out of them. He still couldn't help but try and out of them like a modern day Houdini. He continued to just simply turn ever so slowly around and around his grey eyes never changing. They were just glaring at her and she simply couldn't get a control of her emotions to stop laughing at him. Just the way his face was glaring at her as he kept slowly spinning around was hysterical.
She couldn't hold back the rush of humor there was just no way could she've not stopped her laughter as she watched him. She simply fell to her knees laughing still continuously laughing at him. She looked up at him with a simple simle and shook her head. she finally was able to gain control of herself and standing up still a couple of giggles escaping her throat. She walked over the same wide simle on her face she stood before him. She grabbed his shoulders and turned him to face her eye to eye.
"Please Kaley get me down." Adrien whispered softly he made sure not to look her in the eye as he asked so politely.
"I had told you that you wouldn't be able to get out of them." Kaley stated trying her best to stifle her laughter with no success.
"Will you please quit your laughing and get me down?" Adrien pleaded closing his eyes he hoped beyond anything that she would take pity on him and help him down.
"Alright Adrien be ready to fall then." Kaley sighed she stepped back letting go of him. With a wave of her wand the shackles disappeared and with a thud and a crash he landed on the desks, "I told you to be ready! Are you retarded?"
"I actually didn't really think you were going to take the shackles off." Adrien whispered his soft seductive voice behind her.
She spun around surprise vivid on her face as she caught a slight glance of his grey eyes. She saw him not inches from her, startled she tried to back up to put space between them as quickly as possible. Only too lose her balance and fall nosily into the rubble that he had left of the desks. Groaning she looked up at him and glared once again at him. For a brief second Kaley saw sorrow in those beautiful grey eyes. It caught her off guard immediately. She didn't know what to think the shock had to be clear as day on her face, as quickly as that fleeting emotion had crossed his face it was gone in a blink. She couldn't help but think what was he sad about? He never really had anything to be sad about ever, after all he got whatever he wanted. No matter what the cost was he always got it. As it had come and gone she was a little saddened to see it once again replaced with those hard grey eyes that she loathed. At least when he had a soft look about his eyes they weren't so cruel and harsh and mocking she thought finally. Adrien extended his hand to help her up but she waved it off and got up on her own. She didn't need him touching her it would only anger her more then she already was. She wasn't really angry at him just that she didn't understand why he was sad. As well she was angry that he had caught her off guard. Usually she could see when a vampire would use his or her speed on her. It only furthered to show Adrien how weak she really was.
"So my dear sweet beautiful Kaley have you had your chat with Albus about me?" Adrien stated grinning slightly as he leaned against the wall.
She kept her eyes from him and replied casually, "Yes he has assured me that you will control yourself around the students and professors here at Hogwarts."
"As well as-" Adrien began a slight laugh to his voice.
"As well as you will be taking care of the Cullen children and making sure they stay out of trouble during the night." Kaley interrupted quickly turning her sharp gaze on him in warning, "That will be all you will be doing here. You are here for the purpose of the Cullen children and that is all Adrien."
"It must kill you deep down inside Kaley." Adrien whispered softly his voice sounded so genuine of pity. She knew though that it was a trick it had to be, Adrien didn't feel anything.
"What may I ask kills me deep down?" Kaley spat the question out without even thinking of what he may say. He would only taunt and provoke her more, "Having lovely conversation with you kills me deep down that's for sure."
"I mean your cousin becoming what you secretly despise." Adrien stated plainly.
"I don't know what you mean Adrien; I don't have any family who I speak to anymore anyways." Kaley quickly retorted scoffing at his accusation, even if he was right she didn't want to admit it, "After all a witch can't really stay with her family when they are a bunch of Muggles."
"Come of it Kaley I'm not some stupid new born vampire your talking to here!" Adrien snapped at her taking a couple steps too close to her, "I'm no fool that new Cullen child Bella is in fact your cousin Isabella Swan! Don't try and pretend it doesn't hurt you to see her that way to see her dead and like me. To see those clod eyes turn to you when before they showed such life to you."
"Adrien even if she was my cousin does it really concern you? No it doesn't so get out of my face!" Kaley shouted at him her hands so tightly balled up she could feel her nails cutting at her skin, "I can't stand the smell of blood in my face!"
She moved around him and as she walked to the door she could feel her anger and her sorrow mingling together. He was right she did despise vampires very much. It wasn't that she didn't love the Cullen's family after everything they had done for her. But this was her real family they had intruded upon and she knew deep down that she was upset about it; of course she didn't want to admit it. Especially admitting it too Adrien that he was right. Anything about Adrien being right just made her nauseous to even think about it let alone try and admit it.
Before she could grasp the door knob Adrien had a hold of both her wrists twirling around forcing her to look him in the face. She refused to look him in the eyes, she knew better then to look a vampire in the eyes. Especially one as old as Adrien was after all this wasn't her first time with him. She should never have let him get this close, what was wrong with her? She continually stared at his chest finding that would be a safer place to look then his face. She knew trying to break his grip on her wrists would only actually break her wrists. So she continually stayed still and stared at his chest. That's when she saw the scar on his chest. For all she knew it could be a relatively normal scar amongst vampires. But she had to admit it did intrigue her, she wondered how long he'd had it? It was a fairly large scar of a cross burned into his skin. When had someone shoved a cross into his chest? That poor person had probably lost his or her life immediately following. But she couldn't help but think, why had she never noticed it before? He always wore button down shirts of course the top three or four buttons were always open. So why had she never seen that scar before? Wait why was she noticing this scar now? Why was she actually caring about this stupid scar on this cruel vindictive vampire before her? This couldn't be healthy for her. What was he doing to her? Why did she have to so feeble and weak in front of him?
She shook her head slightly trying to regain her composure she stated with venom in her voice, "Let go of me right this minute Adrien."
"Why are you so stubborn with me?" Adrien sighed he slowly let her arms go to her sides as he still held on to her wrists, "I don't understand you. Why do you fight against me so? Why do you deny what you obviously want to explore and poke and prod?"
"Poke and prod? Are you insane? You are a vampire who on a number of occasions-" Kaley shouted into his face only to have him twirl her around.
He had his hand over her mouth and his other hand tightly holding onto her wrists.
She could barely feel her hands and fingers. It infuriated her to have him have caught her off guard so. She never turned her back on a vampire so why had she done it now? She usually never let a vampire get so close to her without a stake in between the two of them. Why had she for some insane reason thought that just cause she was here at Hogwarts was she safe from this monster? Damn it! She cursed her stupidity over and over again as she struggled against him to get free.
"Please do not struggle against me Kaley." Adrien whispered in her ear the clear seductive voice sounded so eager so hungry to her.
She ceased all struggles and waited for when Adrien would finally let her go or just kill her. One or the other let it happen already she thought. Standing with him so close to her was beginning to itch at her skin. He was a dead corpse on her and she loathed every moment he was this close to her. This wasn't at all fair, stupid vampires and there stupid insane strength. If he was a normal human she could've taken him on. Well maybe not head on anyways she thought after wards. He was after all a good foot and a half taller then her. Then again everyone was taller then her.
"Now that you are calmed down may we continue to talk without the arousing struggles?" Adrien's still seductive hungry voice whispered gently in her ear.
"What do you want to talk about Adrien?" Kaley stated she was sure that he could feel her shivering against him. It wasn't out of fear or coldness, just the way he was speaking was causing it, "I don't see what you and I have to talk about unless its my fist going into your face."
"Kaley please, I am trying my hardest to be on my best behavior." Adrien pleaded his hand resting on hers.
"If it is such a test of your will power then just leave instead of dealing with it." Kaley suggested trying to be helpful, "Why go through this all? Vampires aren't meant to play nice with witches. We've already seen that you a vampire and myself a witch do not play nice at all."
"But I want to play nice with a certain witch." Adrien stated so softly Kaley had almost missed what he had said, "Our first encounter was a mistake that still haunts me as I am sure it haunts you."
"Your kidding yourself if you think that you scare me!" Kaley scoffed at him hoping that her voice didn't betray her.
"Then tell me my dear why do you shiver this close to me?" Adrien stated slight humor in his voice as he stated it, "I can feel almost taste your heartbeat, it beats so feverently. I'm not sure if its out of fear or if its maybe something else."
She didn't know why he was saying these things to her but she was acutely uncomfortable in this situation. She wanted away from it all. Adrien always confused her he never treated her like a normal vampire would to a human. Not since their first enounter, he had always treated her differnelty after that. She wasn't sure why but she knew it couldn't be for any good reason. She had to keep her neck alive, she had too much to live for after all. Even if she had lost some of the things that kept her so lively in this insane messed up world.
That's when she felt it. He was relaxing taking it easy around her. She never thought she would feel him relax and through sheer fear she ran from him. He could've stopped her she knew that but he didn't. She really didn't want to know why he didn't stop her. All she knew is that she had her freedom and she would run for it. He simply just let her go. Let her run away from the monster he was. The hallways should've been full of students but it must be late she had no idea how long she had stayed in that small classroom with Adrien. The students must've been in bed as she should be. She was too freaked out to go to bed though instead she ran all the way to the classroom that she had instructed Albus take the Cullen's children too. Taking the steps at a two she ran and ran. her heat beating feverntly she tried her hardest to not look behind her. she feared that if she looked she would see Adrien coming after her his teeth bared and ready to rip her throat out.
She rounded the corner and jerking the door open shut it closed behind her locking it as she regained her breathing pattern back. She turned around to see Albus and the children well sort of children staring at her in shock and surprise. Kaley rolled her eyes and simply slumped to the ground too tired and too shocked and surprised herself to care what they thought of her at the moment. She brought her knees to her chest and rested her head on them.
"Kaley!" Albus shouted running to her aid, "What ever is the matter Kaley?"
She felt him help her to her feet and to a seat by her cousin Bella. Kaley couldn't help but put her head in her hands and shed that one single tear of hers. She knew no one would be able to tell that she had done it except maybe her cousin. She silently thanked her mother for teaching her that at least before taken away from her. Thank god that Bella never really ever could understand it.
"Kaley what is the matter?" Alice asked her voice so full of worry and genuine grief, "Did something happen while you were speaking to Adrien?"
"Did he hurt you?" Albus snapped out quickly.
She looked up at his face finally. He was always so worried about her, just as she had said like a second father. Shaking her head to his question she found it nearly impossible to concentrate on any one thing. Her mind was racing with all the possiblities. Everything that was around her, the spinning out of the little control she thought she had. She wondered what would've happened if Adrien hadn't let her go back in that classroom? What would've happened if she didn't havet his cursed power in her? What would've happened if Bella had stayed human? What would've happened if her parents had never died?
Her sad eyes looked up at Albus and smiling weakly she whispered to him, "I'm exhausted and the children have class in the morning. Someone should call for Adrien and allow him to show the children where they will be sleeping for the next 7 years."
