Draco found himself in his room, sitting with a red and gold tie around his neck after what he referred to as the most horrid moment of his life. Well, maybe not his life, but it definitely was up there, right next to his father being a death eater and his parents fighting. It was that morning when it had happened, right after the Slytherin and Gryffindor Quidditch teams had met up on the field, neither had gotten much of a word in once Kagome got there, and it only got more annoying when the Weasel and Mudblood had arrived. He had actually been midway to calling the bushy haired Gryffindor Know-it-all such, but as Merlin would have it, Kagome had delayed his minds thought process and as such, with her tie around his neck, and his currently missing, he was left with a very confused head and a very humored best friend.

Sitting at the desk in front of the class, literally in the front, she sat in Snape's seat, while he sat in front of her in another chair. She was furious, upset, and confused...and most importantly, he'd noted, she was wearing his house colors.
"Alright, from the top...you went into the Forbidden Forest..."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "What does that even matter! We are talking about Draco! The Prince of your house!"
Snape opened his mouth as if to say something, but thought better of it and just let her continue.
"I stole his tie...I can't believe I did that!"
Again, he went to say something, but once more, he chose to hold his tongue and keep his thoughts to himself.
"Can you believe him though...I mean, yeah, so he's a bloody Slytherin, that doesn't mean he has to be a blazin' git!"
Snape smirked, "I think it's a Slytherin requirement these days."
She glared at Snape but sighed none the less, closing her eyes, she placed her forehead on the desk in front of her. "It's not fair..."
"Life's not fair..."
Snape walked off into the back room of the Potion's class and appeared again a few minutes later with a book. "Here, light reading, educate yourself."
"...?" She looked it over and frowned, "It's an old, tattered, and overly used potions book."
"It was mine when I was in school. The potion's in here have foot notes, I did this for every potions book I was required to read, and made notes on them, correcting them. If you are going to be spending most of your time in here anyways, be it in detention or counseling, you might as well learn something." He sat the book down in front of her and watched as she opened it to the first page before reading it over. Then, finding a curious potion, she turned to page 118, he smirked, the Potion was a curious one that when taken, can cause someone to start randomly spouting out their most inner thoughts...such a thing, he knew, would be dangerous if she were to use it on, lets say...Draco?
He looked at the clock, she had received detention again due to skipping her History class, not that he could blame her, and then he gave her detention too for being tardy, again...seemingly, she would spend the whole of her school year in detention...a thought occurred to him as he watched her read the ingredients of the Loquor Sententia Potion. "Miss. Higurashi, have you eaten today?"
"...no Sir,"
"No, I didn't think so. You've been all over the place, and then you stayed behind to give me a run over of what happened with Draco, and that was during your lunch time...and mine..."
Kagome flushed, "Sorry Sir,"
He shook his head, "It's fine, I'll send for a house elf to retrieve some food for the both of us."
"Thank you,"

It was well into the night, Kagome noticed from afar the time, now almost eleven thirty; she sighed and stretched. Looking to her Professor, he sat in the corner, reading a black leather bound book of which she'd never seen before, silver framed pages could be seen clearly from where she sat; smiling, she walked over to his side. "Sir, it's late, shouldn't we both head off to our appropriate sleeping quarters? I'll assume you rarely get much sleep, since grading and detentions seem to be a nightly past time for you."
He once more, allowed a grin, however small it was, to grace his lips. "Yes, so it seems. Between your multitude of uncles, Percy Weasley aside, and then of course Potter, and on occasion, Granger...yes, I have my hands full with detentions...and don't even get me started...on you."
Kagome smiled, holding the book he'd given her up, "May I borrow this?"
He nodded, "Treat it like a baby,"
Kagome gave a mock salute, "It'll be flying dragons and sliding down staircase rails in no time!"
He gave her a look that said he didn't want to know.
"See you tomorrow, Professor!"
"..." Snape sighed as she left through the Potions door, the girl was growing on him, and he got her tomorrow night too. He just knew he was going to have a long year this year.
-x-x-x-
Kagome yawned as she rounded corner after corner, trying to find her way back to the hall that would lead her to the stairs.
~SPLASH~
"Ah!" She looked down and frowned, stepping back onto the dry marble floor, she stared ahead at the water that was all over the floor. Walking forward, she curiously wondered what could have caused the flood. She didn't think there were bathrooms down this hall, so that only served to make her more inquisitive of the matter. She stopped short of a turn, from where she stood; she could see something red reflecting from the water, further down the hall she heard the familiar grumblings of the school caretaker. Finally, she rounded the corner, and, unconsciously, she stepped back. Then...
"PROFESSOR!"
So it wasn't the best plan of action, but the sight of blood on the wall really freaked her out. She was accustomed to dealing with large, flying, fire breathing lizards, not blood on the wall.
Around the corner, three others came, and Kagome was so happy to see it was one of her Uncles, mind you, she hadn't talked to this one yet.
"Kagome," Hermione called. That was well enough for the half Veela as she practically ran into the girls arms. She wasn't one to get scared, but she didn't like the thought of whose blood that might be.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been open, enemies of the heir, beware."
A very familiar voice said, and Kagome turned frightfully to see Draco standing next to a group of Slytherin's, Snape pushed through the crowd before he could say anything else, having heard Kagome scream. Filch too stood there, but had yet to say anything, and then of course, he saw from the corner of his eyes, his cat. He pointed his finger at Harry and started shouting out how he'd killed his cat, and although Kagome felt for the man, she wasn't pleased with Harry being blamed for the supposed death of his cat.
Then McGonagall came, and the Headmaster, and the Gryffindor's, and it was suddenly a house party in a flooded hall with blood and taxidermy cat's decorating the walls. No, not funny, the cat clearly wasn't an object of taxidermy, but still...
Dumbledore sent everyone back to their dormitories, and Hermione turned with Kagome only to stop when Dumbledore called back her, Harry and Ron. Kagome stayed behind too.
"Miss. Higurashi, if you would return back to your─"
"I will not leave!" Kagome yelled out, this stopped Blaise and Draco who were further in the back of their class. They stayed behind and hid around the corner.
"..."
"I was the one who was here first, not Harry. Now, I'm sure you have a multitude of reason's to believe that anything that happens at this school that can't be explained must be Harry's fault, but shame to say, it isn't this time!"
Draco stepped out from around the corner only for Blaise to pull him back and pop him in the forehead. Harry had seen him, as had Hermione and Kagome. Ron was looking at the wet floor, rather than anything else.
"I see, than...perhaps you can tell me...what you were doing here?"
"...curiosity?" She asked, more than said.
Snape stepped up, "Professor, she was with me till three quarters past eleven...in fact, she would have been gone only five minutes when I heard her scream. It is not her...and since she was here first, Harry is cleared...as are his little tagalongs."
Dumbledore nodded, "Then, if that is all...you may return to your dormitories."
The group passed by and immediately Kagome took hold of Draco and Blaise. Draco pulled her off to the side and not realizing what he was doing, looked her over. He too had heard her scream.
"Draco, man...she's fine." Blaise laughed as he pulled the two down the hall. Hermione, Harry and Ron watched them cautiously as they followed the three outside.
-x-x-x-
Kagome sat down once outside and let her head hit her knees as she shivered from the cool wind that took her by surprise.
Draco crouched down and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Kagome, look...I─"
"What the bloody hell, why do you keep touching her!"
Hermione held onto Ron's arm as he pulled to get to Draco. "Leave him alone, Ron! Clearly he means her no harm!"
"She's my Niece!"
"You only just found out today!" Hermione yelled.
Harry walked up to Kagome and crouched down beside her; holding a hand out to her, she smiled and took it. "Thank you," he said.
"Not at all." Kagome laughed, "What kind of person let's another person get blamed for something that clearly wasn't their fault?"
Harry grinned, "A bad one, I can see that you're the good type."
"I wouldn't say 'good', I just happened to find it completely unjust."
Hermione frowned as Ron sat down angrily, "What if you had gotten in trouble?"
Kagome scoffed, "Me, no way! Professor Snape wouldn't let me get in trouble; I was with him for like...four hours! He and I were talking and reading, and he gave me this book that he would write notes in during his school year, which has the potions enhanced, I guess would be the best way to put it. Like, he made them better, gave better instructions, he said I could borrow it, but to treat like a baby." She smiled, "So, I plan to take it riding tomorrow on a broom!"
Harry and Blaise laughed, Hermione looked horror stricken that she might do that with a book. Ron looked as if he wanted to laugh, but was fighting to stay angry, while Draco just sat by her side now, resting peacefully against the wall.
"Do you like riding?" Harry asked.
"Like it? I LOVE IT!" She pulled her hand back and lifted both of them in the air, "That...is the best place to be. Soaring, not a care in the world, you leave all your problems on the ground and just fly. You should try it with Dragon's!" Her eyes lit up only for her to be pulled to her feet by Draco.
"..." He walked with her being pulled slightly behind him. Blaise running to keep up, and of course, Ron, Harry and Hermione were following.
Now, Hermione was a bright Witch, but while she was the brightest Witch of her year, Draco had certainly proven himself as the brightest Wizard of his year.
"Accio Broom~" Draco waved his wand and watched it zoom right up to him. He caught it in mid air and walked to the center of the field. "Potter, can you call your Nimbus to you?"
Harry wasn't sure, he'd never done that spell before. Hermione could see him thinking and saved him by doing the spell for him, Draco was too far away to see which one had preformed it, and he couldn't hear them anyways, not that he cared at the moment. The Nimbus flew forward and Harry caught it before it could get too close to Hermione. He walked over to Draco and cautiously handed it to his rival. For some reason, he had no real problem being around him, if...Kagome was with him.
He noticed Draco was still wearing the Gryffindor house colors, and Kagome now donned the Slytherin house colors, which he actually thought was kind of cute.
Draco handed Kagome his Nimbus 2001, taking everyone except for Kagome, by surprise. To them, he was selfish, and uncaring, he was rude and immature...he was untrustworthy and Slytherin...but to her, he was hiding, and friendly, cautious, and fun, and loyal...very loyal...to his friends, and family, always loyal...he wasn't Slytherin, he was Draco.
She mounted the Nimbus 2001, he looked to Harry who nodded, then mounted the Nimbus 2000, and within seconds, the two touched off the ground, and were gone!

Me: So, the other night, I was watching the Finals for X-Factor, no...hold on, the night before that, I was watching the Semi-Finals for X-Factor, and I love that Michael Jackson, even though he's dead, he's still alive, having preformed during the Semi-Finals. I thought that was amazing...he really can't die, he will never die. Anyways, so happy that Melanie won! I was rooting for her from the moment I heard her audition, and when Simon sent her home, I was shouting at the TV, "GO GET HER! BRING HER BACK~! I LOVE YOU SIMON. BUT THAT WAS A MISTAKE!" Lol, I was shocked to see he actually went back to get her though and brought her back, and seeing her win only proved just how much she belonged there.
Anyways, wishing you guys a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas
