So, this is chapter three.... I had lots of fun with this one ^_^ enjoy!!!!
Chapter Three
Snake Lords, Blondes and a Severely Snappy Man. And They say Muggles are Insane!
'Well then, girl? What do you think you're doing in my pressssence?'
Inner Krystal died. Multiple times. From a combination of shock and disbelief. Lord Voldemort, formally known as Tom Marvello Riddle, was alive!!
'I'm here to bring you very important information, My Lord,' Krystal answered, still very excited to be even in the same room as her most favored dark lord. 'I have knowledge of the Potter boy and of Dumbledore.'
'I have lotssss of information on thossse two. Why should yoursss be any different?'
'Because I also know a lot about you too… if only by obsession,' she added under her breath. At Voldemort's raised nonexistent eyebrow she continued, 'I know about your Horcuxes' and I know what Dumbledore knows about them.'
That can't change things too badly can it? Inner Krystal thought. As long as he doesn't find out about the scar one it's all good.
'I can't imagine how you came acrosssss such information,' Voldemort started, rising from his throne like chair, 'but assss you know thisssss, what you sssay will have some ground of truth. Tell me what it isssss you know.'
Krystal carefully gave some important but non-altering information, drawing on the Harry Potter based conversations she had had with the aforementioned Mercieca Sarrah and other such obsessed people. Voldemort's sinister smile grew as Krystal gave information to him, frowning when he heard of different objects destruction and not knowing about it.
'Thisssss information will be mossst usseful. What isssss your name and houssse?'
It's a pity that I can't say Slytherin, he would wonder why he had never heard of me before, reflected inner Krystal sadly, what to pick now…
'My name is Krystal Depp and my house is Ravenclaw,' the newly named girl replied, happily stealing Johnny Depp's last name.
The snake faced man (can we call him that? I think waxed figurine works better…) spoke softly and slowly, 'I am yet to have alliessss in that houssse… so,' he added louder, 'I will have ssssomeone take you to the nearessst fireplace and help them sssend you to Ssseverusss. Luciusss!' he called suddenly.
A well dressed man with long blonde hair strode briskly into the room, bowing at the sight of his master.
'My Lord wishes me here?'
'Yessss Luciusss,' Voldemort said lazily, 'Pleassse essscort Missss Depp to a fireplace. Have her sssent through to Ssseverusss Ssnape.'
'Of course My Lord,' Lucius answered smoothly, nodding at Krystal to follow him. She did so, bowing as Lucius did on the way out, only not so low; her back still hurt after all the landings its been taking
'I did not see you enter His chambers, Miss Depp, was it?'
'Yes Mr. Malfoy, I had… direct entrance to his quarters,' Krystal answered, no lies there.
Lucius' eyes widened slightly before he gave a small smirk, 'I'd recommend not mentioning this to Bellatrix Lestrange,' he advised in a soft voice, as if to make sure no one heard this piece of advice.
'Wouldn't dream of it. I value my life.'
Nodding approvingly, Lucius led her to a side room used purely for the Floo Network. Offering her the coiled snake vase which contained the Floo Powder, Lucius also gave her a small package to give to his son, Draco Malfoy. As Krystal was just being whisked away by green flames she heard Lucius say, 'formalities are for enemies Krystal.'
She grinned, though that didn't last long as she landed less gracefully then she would have liked in Professor Severus Snape's office. Picking herself up from the ground, Krystal looked up to see not one, but two sets of surprised eyes.
'Who are you and what are you doing in my fireplace?' Severus demanded, his black eyes flashing.
'I'm Krystal Depp, from Ravenclaw and with a package from one Lucius Malfoy for Draco,' Krystal said in one breath, holding the package out to the mentioned Malfoy.
'How could you have seen my father? He's…' Draco trailed off.
'I know that, how else would I have seen him?'
Draco took the small package and pocketed it, looking curiously over at Krystal. Severus too looked over her but not in curiosity.
'How have I never seen you in my classes before? If you were a first year that would be understandable however, you seem Draco's age if not older.'

…
SHIT!!!!
'I'm a transfer student from Australia, so it makes sense that you've never seen me before,' Krystal said, hoping that the slowness of the sentence was mistaken for disbelief of being unknown as a transfer. Severus still looked unsure, or as unsure as a Snape could, but Draco had had enough.
'Just drop it Uncle Sev; you heard where she came from,' Draco drawled, winking at Krystal causing yet another Inner death.
'Stupid name,' Severus muttered under his breath. Louder, he said, 'fine, I wont say any more on the subject.'
Krystal was shivering again. It was near to Winter in Hogwarts and if it was cold outside, it was nothing compared to the chill of the dungeons. Idly, Inner Krystal (newly resurrected) wondered if a certain friend would feel the cold down here. Probably not.
Once again, Krystal felt a heavy piece of fabric being placed over her shoulders and as she looked up, she saw Severus seating himself down behind his desk.
'I was going to give mine to her, y'know,' Draco said annoyed, raising an eyebrow at his godfather.
'I've lived down here a lot longer then you have Draco; I'm used to it. And if you both walked from here with Miss Depp wearing your robe what do you think would be said?' asked Severus in a silky voice.
Draco opened his mouth, and then closed it again. He couldn't think of anything to say back to that logic.
'At any rate its time you two left from my office. Miss Depp…' Severus waved his wand wordlessly and the robe shrunk to fit Krystal better so she wouldn't trip in the dungeons.
'Evening Professor,' called Draco from the door, Krystal echoing him, adding a 'thank you' for the robe.
As they began the long walk up to the Ravenclaw dormitories, Krystal asked how he knew the way so well.
'What kind of Slytherin would I be otherwise?' was his reply, a knowing smirk on his face.
Halfway way there, the hourglass glowed a blinding orange causing both teens to close their eyes against the shine.
'The hell is going on?!' Draco yelled.
When he opened his eyes, Krystal was gone from sight and was instead being pulled around; hopefully somewhere that wasn't hard.
With a thud, she landed on her back on a slightly less hard surface: sand.
'How did you get here?' asked a low monotone voice.
Looking up, Krystal gasped and Inner Krystal yelled OMFG it's a PANDA!!!
hehe, any idea where she is know? It's probabley obvious but yeah. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!!!!!!!!
