A soft tap on her shoulder woke Kagome from, what she would call, the most peaceful night of sleep she'd had in a long time. "No~"

A light and buoyant chuckle drifted through her ears and she sat up tiredly, slowly. Looking up, she took note of the Headmaster smiling down at her with that trademark twinkle in his eye. "Miss. Higurashi. Clearly Mr. Malfoy has had no qualms with you sharing his sleeping divan, but seeing as how you both are still in the medical wing, it may be wise to continue your sleep elsewhere, before Madam Pomfrey comes and actually takes notice of you sleeping in here with Mr. Draco. I believe, last night she'd been much to busy to notice you, but she would clearly see you today if she were to enter and check up on Mr. Malfoy."

She looked down at where she was, not remembering how she got into Draco's bed, she surmised that Draco must have moved her for her own comfort last night when she'd fallen asleep with her head on the medical bed, his medical bed.

"Come, Miss. Higurashi, I'll walk with you to your house. Often times, the fat lady isn't in her painting at this hour, so I might need to have the others go in search of out dear Lady." Dumbledore held out his hand and she took it, climbing carefully out of the bed, he made sure she wasn't still sleepy as she stood before letting her hand go. She turned and smiled, pulling the blanket back up to Draco's shoulders, she leaned forward and whispered softly in his ear, "Thank you,". From afar, it would look like a kiss, or from the wrong angle, but Dumbledore was standing at the foot of the bed, and he'd taken notice of the whisper, and had heard the softly spoken words in the empty room.

Kagome made to leave, but stopped at the sight of a familiar face lying in the bed next to Harry's. "...Colin..." Her voice betrayed her as she whispered, moving closer to the bed; she looked at the petrified boy and felt tears stinging at her eyes. "Professor!"

"Shh~" He held his hand out and she weakly moved towards him, her eyes were burning from the salty tears that she refused to let loose. Taking hold of his hand, he pulled her from the infirmary and pat her gently on the head. "Mr. Creavy will be fine, in do time." He smiled, "He, like Misses Norris, has been petrified."

"Professor, what is doing this? What is the chamber of secrets?"

"...Miss. Higurashi, try not to worry about such things. It is of no concern to the students."

Kagome turned a cold glare on the man, taking him completely off guard. "No concern of the students...unless of course they are Ron, Hermione and Harry! You are manipulating them! Anyone who can't see that deceit is either blind or in denial!" Turning, she made to walk away, pausing for just a moment, she looked over her shoulder a whispered, "I won't be so easily fooled!"

-x-x-x-

She didn't go back to her dorm, despite the fact that no one was up. It wasn't even light out! Dumbledore had clearly spotted her when they had brought Colin in at whatever hour of the night that was, and had decided to let her sleep for a little while before getting her out of dangers way by making sure she was gone when Madam Pomfrey came to check in on her patients. Thankful as she was, she was to blinded by anger at having been denied answers by her Headmaster. Silly, yes, she was aware, and stupid, even more so aware, but that didn't change the fact that she was still mad, tired, and in need of someone to talk to. Someone who wasn't related to her or ill looking, that took out Ron, Fred, George, Percy and for both ill looking and family relation...Ginny...she didn't want to speak to anyone who was considered a know-it-all among the student ranks, that crosses out Hermione...and she didn't want to talk to anyone who was of celebrity status...so, no Harry. Besides, he was in the infirmary, and she was sure he didn't want her mugging him.

So with all of them marked off her potential list of listeners that only left two people, Pansy...and Blaise. The lesser of two evils being the latter of the two; actually, Kagome quite liked Blaise; she had discovered he was quite the sweetheart...when he wanted to be.

"Oi!" Kagome glared pathetically at the painting on the Slytherin Common Rooms door. She hadn't been there before, so seeing the picture, or...painting, of Salazar Slytherin, was somewhat unnerving.

"...I can't say that I recognize you, did you steal that tie?"

Kagome glanced down at the green and silver tie around her neck and smiled. She still received looks from the students for her tie, she knew it wasn't, but now, she couldn't even think about wearing red and gold after having worn silver and green for so long, besides...she loved green, it was her favorite color. Not that it had anything to do with the colors...it was the owner...it was her showing him, and everyone else, that she would not be tied down by the colors of her tie! "It belongs to me," She said, firmly speaking to the portrait. "Will you let me in please? I want to speak with Blaise."

"Zabini...?"

"Well, yes. Draco is in the infirmary...so I can't talk to him, and if I did talk to him, he'd get even less sleep. I want him to get better, and that won't happen if he's up all night listening to my problems!"

"...you must be a Hufflepuff."

"No, Gryffindor."

His eyes widened, "Gryffindor?" He smiled, laughed a little, and finally, "If Godric could see his house today..." He grinned, "Still can't let you in though, not without the password."

"...sugar quills?"

He raised a brow, "You don't really plan to sit here all night guessing the password, do you?"

"No, I plan to sit here till you open that door, now, sugar quills?" Kagome watched him eye her before he sighed.

"No,"

"Any type of candy?"

"If I narrow it down, I might as well tell you the password!"

She shrugged, "Snapping Liquorices?"

"...no."

"Chocolate frogs?"

"No..."

"Blood Nuggets, vampire suckers, Toad─"

"No candy!"

"...Drought of the Living Death?"

"..." He looked down at her in surprise, "That's right..."

"What do you expect, it Severus Snape we are talking about, it had to be a potion."

"Then why ask the names of different candy?"

"To bug you?" She questioned curiously, smiling at the unknown answer. She had merely done it to do it.

The door swung open, and as Kagome was about to enter, she was almost knocked to the floor.

"..." Looking up, she smiled widely. "THEO!"

The boy, Theodore Nott, stared at her in surprise and alarm. "Do I know you?"

"No!" She took his hand in hers excitedly, pulling him completely out of the portrait entrance. "I have a question, and I hope you'll say yes."

"..." He raised a brow, but said nothing, choosing to let her continue, since he was sure that he'd get any questions he had answered by just listening.

"I want you to come with me, Blaise and Draco to Romania...for the holidays."

"During Christmas?" He frowned, "I have family, you know."

"I understand that, which is why it's completely up to you. The tickets are already paid for if you choose to go, and if not, they can be refunded..."She smiled, 'I hope...'

"What's in Romania anyways?"

"Dragons! All sorts too! Oh, it's absolutely wonderful," She held her arms out, eyes shut as she remembered the exhilaration and adrenalin rush that she'd often get when flying with the dragons. "Of course," She opened her eyes, "We are allowed to ride on them too...a few will be kept under constant watch, like the Horntail...they are not to be around visitors...but the Welsh, they are truly a delight."

"..." He seemed to be thinking it over, but then looking at the girl, the tie, always the tie, and then her hand which held his still...he glared, "You are a friend of the blood traitors..."

"Who?"

"Those filthy Weasley's!"

Kagome frowned, "Friend? I'm family. I'm the niece of all the Weasley siblings..."

Confusion crossed his eyes, "What?"

"Higurashi was my mothers' last name, but she died during childbirth, leaving daddy to take care of me all on his own. Daddy is Charles Weasley, or...Charlie...that's what everyone calls him."

"..." Theodore seemed surprised by this, but at the same time, bored of the history lesson he was receiving.

Kagome sighed, "Think about it, please...I'm sure it will be fun, especially once you get there. How often do you get to ride on dragons, or race on them? I can promise you one thing, brooms and Quidditch have got nothing on dragons!" She grinned; then turning around, she left. The portrait of Salazar Slytherin and Theodore Nott were left staring at the curious Gryffindor as she practically skipped off towards the Gryffindor common room, completely forgetting her reason for coming to the Slytherin Common room.

-x-x-x-

Kagome stared curiously at the train, wondering what was going to happen, and if Theodore would actually show up. She hadn't talked to him since he called her family filthy, and she hadn't heard from him since she told him to think about her offer. Now, she was sitting on a boulder, her bags already on the train, watching as students gathered around and boarded the large metal means of transportation.

"I'm sure he'll be here. Theodore isn't one for blood traitors, but he's also not one to toss aside something as exciting as a trip to dragons, free of any expenses." Blaise said from where he was leaning against the boulder on her left. Kagome sighed, saying nothing in return. Draco was sitting with his back to hers atop the boulder, a book in his hands. "What the bloody hell has you so captured that you are reading outside, on a boulder?" He asked his platinum haired friend.

"..." Draco lifted the book and Blaise cracked a grin at the title.

"Romeo and Juliet," Blaise smiled, "What part are you at?"

"Balcony..."

Kagome frowned, "Did you two hear about Sir Nicholas?" She had only caught bits and pieces of what had happened, and still was iffy on the details.

"Yeah, he and another kid were found petrified, a...Hufflepuff, I believe." Blaise said, "Everyone is adamant that it is Harry Potter's fault."

"Why?"

Draco scoffed, "Because apparently, along with being the-boy-who-didn't-die, he is also the-boy-who-talks-with-snakes."

"...talks with...you don't mean..." Kagome frowned, "He speaks parseltongue?"

"Mm," Draco nodded; closing the book he was reading and pocketing it. "Now, even if he isn't doing any of this, the entire school thinks he is. He almost had a snake attack the boy found petrified, he was telling it something, and the snake just seemed to turn its attention onto that Fletchley fellow who is now in the infirmary waiting for an antidote along with all the others who have been petrified."

"Did the snake attack?"

Both shook their heads negatively, Draco was the one to voice his answer, "No, but it doesn't matter. What matters is Harry told the snake something, the snake was listening, and Severus got rid of it. The entire school thinks Severus just got the snake before the snake could get the Hufflepuff. Which, I don't particularly mind, for a while, everyone in my house was unwavering in their beliefs that I was the bloody heir of Slytherin. My family is an ancient one, but as far as I am aware, I'm not a direct descendant of our House Founder."

Kagome nodded in understanding, but that also made her slightly worried for Harry. It seemed, the whole of the world was against the boy, and all he could do really was let it keep spinning out of control. "it actually makes me worried,"

Blaise grinned, jumping up next to the two and tossing an arm over the ravenette's shoulders. "Don't be my adorable little Gryffindor, you have two rather valiant Slytherin's, intelligent and handsome to boot; right here watching over you."

"Valiant?" She asked with a smirk, "Who?"

"Ah," Blaise let himself slowly slide off the boulder in a false show of hurt and deflation of his pride. "You wound me, precious."

"Merlin, you must have hit your head harder than I'd originally thought, Zabini. To be going along on this trip so willingly."

The three turned to see Theodore standing with a look of utter disgust on his face, no doubt at the thought of going along with a Weaselette, even if she had a different family name than Weasley...it was the blood of the matter.

"You needn't come along if you are so aghast by the idea of spending the holiday with a fellow student whose house colors just happen to be red and gold, and family with the Weasley's."

Blaise laughed, "I'd almost forgotten that." He picked Kagome up off the rock and placed her down, much to her amusement, before grabbing her bag that she had dubbed her important carry on stuff.

"Mine!" She made to grab the bag only for it to be pulled out of her reach. "Blaise, come on!"

"What's in it?"

"..." She flushed pink and turned away, "Nothing that matters to you, or anyone else, for that matter."

Blaise shrugged, "Guess you can't get it back then."

Kagome's eyes widened as she watched him toss to Draco who caught it with relative ease. "Draco, please give it back..."

"..." He looked curiously at the bag before handing it over to her without so much as a question.

"...I'm more than just a bit aghast...however, it turns out that my parents decided to go to the Scotland Private Wine Tasting Society."

"...they have a Society for wine tasting?"

Draco smirked, "There is a Society for Cigar Smokers too."

"...ew." She frowned, then smiled, and finally...she laughed, "I say that, but growing up with Dragons, I also grew up surrounded by a lot of smoke."

"I thought you were a good girl, but indulging in smoke? Tut, tut, tut..."

Kagome walked up to Draco, looked him critically in the eyes and then, bringing her hand to his cheeks, she tugged his ear, causing a loud 'yelp' to escape from his lips.

Kagome laughed.

Theodore watched the three interact before sneering.

The train sounded next to the four, informing them of the limited time left to board the Hogwarts Express and attain a seat.

Their vacation, Kagome wasn't sure what exactly it held, but a weird feeling in her gut told her, something was going to happen...something, and she was sure it wasn't going to be something she would under normal circumstances...look forward to.

-x-x-x-

Me: So, the next chapter, we will develop some more chemistry between Theo and Kagome, but...will that cause a rift to form between Draco and Kagome? Also, what about Blaise, how does he take the coming and going of attraction between Kagome and the other two guests' of the Weasley Estate...and that brings up another curious question. How does someone in the Weasley family have an estate!
