Kagome laughed, she had grown surprisingly close to the three boys, including Theodore, but he still didn't talk much to her, but when he did, he wasn't cruel or mean to her.

"That was classic, watching Blaise dangle by the foot from Kyrie's fastening," Draco laughed at his best friends' expense. "He had to get saved by Juniper!"

Blaise frowned, "How long has June been married?"

Kagome looked in thought, "I guess, eight years?"

"Damn, so there's no chance of a divorce in the near future?"

"Why would you want her to have a divorce!"

"So I can soothe her broken heart," He smirked, "She would never be able to resist my natural charm,"

Kagome burst into a fit of laughter once more, "Oh, charming indeed, Blaise, but you are much too young, can you not find a female of your own age to woo?"

Draco smirked, "He has plenty of girls his own age, which is why he wants to broaden his horizon."

"Oh, dear Blaise," Kagome got down before him on her knees, taking his hands in hers and looking playfully sympathetic, "Broadening your horizon is fine, but only with girls in your own league,"

Theodore and Draco laughed at Blaise who flushed and crossed his arms over his chest. Kagome sat back down across from Theodore and next to Draco who sat across from Blaise, Blaise was next to Theodore. The four were on the Hogwarts Express heading back to school, ready for classes to start, but sad the break was over. Christmas wasn't quite over yet for Draco, Blaise, and Theodore; she had to sneak off with Juniper to get presents without the others knowing, but they wouldn't be getting their gifts until they reached their Dorm Rooms, and Kagome sadly wouldn't be there to see their faces.

~Flashback~

Kagome watched as Lance showed Draco and Blaise how to sharpen the sharp claws of a Dragon, Theodore was playing with Fáfnir and Drako, and Kagome...well...Kagome was looking for Juniper.

"Ah, there she is," Smiling as she followed the woman holding a basket of Dandelions, "June!" She called, watching as Juniper turned and smiled, "Can you go with me to..." She glanced back to make sure no one was around to hear her, then continued, "Diagon Alley?"

"Of course, Christmas shopping?"

"Mmhm,"

"Then why don't we go somewhere else?"

"Like where?"

Juniper smiled, "Avenue de la Magie..."

"But that's in Paris..."

"We'll Apparate, well...I'll Apparate, you'll hold on tightly and not let go,"

Kagome nodded, "Then can we go now?"

"Of course, of course, let me give these to your father first, he sent me out for them for one of his potions."

Kagome followed Juniper inside and waited as she handed the basket to her father before taking her hand.

"We'll be back soon, Charlie dear,"

"Mmm," He glanced at the too curiously, but since it was Juniper, he had no problem with the secrecy.

Kagome felt the pull and was suddenly assaulted with the magic of Paris's very own Diagon Alley, only...not. It was beautiful, and the last time she'd been there, she had only been seven, and she hadn't gotten to buy anything since it was a business trip. She immediately pulled her off towards the direction of the animals, the shop was called 'Magique Ménageries' which, when translated, read Magical Menageries, they were world renowned and highly rated among witches and wizards all over the world. But every shop was different, and she was determined to get a look inside this one!

She ran forward, and smiled, it was amazing; each animal was more stunning than the next, and finally, she came to what looked like a toy isle, with animals of miniature stature, in small cages or aquariums.

"Bonjour ma chérie,"

"Ah..." Kagome blushed; she didn't know how to speak French. Juniper however did, and so she walked up and smiled, introducing herself as she began talking vivaciously with the woman.

"Hey chick!"

Kagome jumped and turned around, "What?"

"Yeah, you with the funny face!"

Kagome frowned, "Funny face?" She looked down and saw a ferret looking right at her.

"You sure took long enough, not to bright, are you,"

"...you are a rude little rodent, aren't you!" It was no question.

Laughter came from behind her, "It's a Jarvey, not the kindest spoken creature of the lot, but smart for sure,"

"Nice to meet you too, toots!"

"...not worth the time of day either,"

Kagome left, looking back at the creature, she moved on, ignoring its calls for her. She walked to another isle and smiled, "How much are these?"

"..." The woman looked questioningly at Kagome.

"Elle aimerait savoir combien vous vendez ces derniers pour," Juniper said with a smile, pointing at what Kagome was questioning the price of.

"Ah, pour chacun, vingt-deux galleons, combien seront achetés, mon chérie?"

"Kagome, she say's twenty-two galleons each, how many?"

"Three!"

Juniper turned to the woman and replied, "Trois,"

The woman nodded, "Quels sont ceux qui veut-elle?"

"Kagome, which ones?"

Kagome picked out three, and smiled, "These," It was funny that she'd managed to find the perfect gifts at the first shop she'd gone to. She wanted to do more though, she had Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, and Percy...and even Pansy...she also didn't want to forget Luna, Neville, or Colin...not to mention..."Severus should also get a gift..."

Juniper, who was listening as she paid for the boys gifts, smiled at the girl who had been deemed her Godchild so long ago.

The two wandered about picking out gifts for everyone on Kagome's list and Juniper's as well. Kagome had the most trouble looking for a gift for her father and Snape, since, despite knowing her father so well, she was never good at picking things out for him, and Snape was bound to be a challenge.

Finally, after three hours of searching, she had found a gift for EVERYONE, and was now sending them to their respective receivers. Except of course for Draco, Blaise, Theodore, Charlie, Juniper, Seth and Lance, She sent the boys gifts to Hogwarts, and was carrying the adults' gifts home.

~End~Flashback~

Kagome sighed.

Blaise stood up and moved next to Kagome, pushing Draco a bit to the left so that he could fit comfortably, then threw his arm around her shoulder, "What's on your mind, beautiful,"

Kagome smiled, leaning her head against his chest, she listened, "Just wondering about stuff, I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts, I want to see what's been going on at Hogwarts while we've been gone, see if anything interesting has happened, if someone else is in the Medical Ward, also...I can't wait till you see your gifts, I'm excited, but at the same time worried, what if you don't like them, what if you use them to battle one another, what if you kill someone with them...I don't think the later is possible, but who knows."

"...I'm curious," Blaise muttered, "You don't have to worry about us killing each other though,"

Kagome yawned, closing her eyes just as the door to their compartment slid open.

"Kagome, how lovely to see you. I was searching the train for you,"

Kagome sat up and smiled, "Luna!" She grinned cheerily at the dreamy girl, "How was your holiday?"

"Splendid, I was especially happy to have received your gift; the cooling charm was marvelous, my ears aren't cold at all."

Kagome smiled, "I'm happy that you like them, they look gorgeous on you," Kagome looked at the Everlasting Icicle Earrings and Necklace that she'd bought Luna for Christmas.

"Thank you; have you seen Ginny, by any chance?"

"Ginny, Ron, Fred, George and Percy all stayed behind at school, why?"

"No reason, I was wondering what you got her, since she's your Aunt, I figured you would."

"I got her a set of two way mirrors, she can give the other to someone she's close to, and they will always be able to communicate, no matter how far apart they are."

"You thought your gifts out carefully, I see; I can't wait for you to see the gifts waiting for you at school. Neville sent me a later saying that one of the girls in Gryffindor house were complaining because of all the gifts sitting on your bed and at the foot of your bed."

Kagome laughed, "Yes, the owls were given strict instructions to not deliver the gifts to my home, the dragons would surly kill them, so they all brought my presents to school."

"That makes since," Luna smiled, "Well, I'll let you be, you seem sleepy, and I imagine it will be a few more hours before our arrival,"

"Then I'll talk with you more sometime tomorrow?"

Luna nodded, "That would be nice," She stepped back and closed the door, leaving the four in silence as Kagome quickly drifted off to sleep.

"She really was sleepy," Theodore commented as he pulled out a book, though he was glancing over the book as Draco removed his cloak from his trunk and covered Kagome with it. "Is it not enough that she has your tie, she needs your cloak too?"

"What's it matter to you?" Draco smirked, "You aren't into her, are you? Isn't she a little to Weasley for your taste's, Theo?"

"Che, she has little to know Weasley in her," Theodore looked across the way at the girl sleeping against Blaise's shoulder, tucked gently beneath Draco's cloak. "She's got more Slytherin in her than you think, but she's definitely too Gryffindor. You on the other hand have become completely obsessed with her, and I don't know whether you think you love her, at just the tender age of twelve, or just really like her, but whatever it is, you had better make sure you can take what's dished out at you from the others in our house, and of course...your father once he realizes whose family she's from and what house she's apart of." Theodore turned his eyes back to his book irritably, "I, like Blaise, can unconditionally claim her as a friend, of sorts, but unlike you, Draco, I draw the line there."

Blaise sighed, "Settle down girls, sleeping beauty has not yet woken, and if I recall the story accurately, she's supposed to be awakened by a kiss, not the bickering of two of her friends. Now, whether a friend or more, you should both be mindful and let her sleep."

The two kept silent after Blaise's speech, and it remained quiet for the remainder of their train ride until the train pulled to a stop and Kagome was woken by the sudden stop and slight jerk of the train.

Kagome yawned before sitting up and stretching her arms out, "Yaay~" she murmured sleepily, looking at the cloak which was covering her warm form, she picked it up and handed it to Draco with a sheepish grin, "Thanks,"

Theodore frowned, "How did you know it was his?"

Kagome smiled, "It seemed like a very Draco thing to do, however, if you want to correct me, than by all means..." she looked him straight in the eyes, "Whose is it?"

"...Draco's, obviously..." Theodore answered with annoyance, 'Match made in heaven, this pair.'

-x-x-x-

Kagome was one of the first to run up to the Professors and ask about their holidays, but the grim looks were none too heartwarming. By her surprise, she was motioned away by Severus and followed him while the other Professors and the Headmaster stared after in wonder. It was a rare thing indeed for Professor Snape to take so quickly to one person, especially a student.

It was sad really, that the hall was decorated so brilliantly, but the Professors were not at all in the Holiday spirit.

"Professor, what is wrong?" She asked once far enough away from the Great Hall that no one would hear. They were heading towards the Dungeon's anyways, and no one would be down there at this time anyways.

"Nothing has changed since you left, the other Professors are getting worried, they spent the entire holiday searching for the Chamber of Secret's, but to no avail,"

"...I see..." Kagome grinned, "Can I help you find it?"

"Of course not! Such nonsense," He scolded, turning, he placed his hands on her shoulders, "You are just a child, eleven years old! You're much too young to be wandering around looking for hidden chambers with monsters inside."

Kagome looked at the worry in his eyes, it was similar to the look her father had given her when she had left for Hogwarts that day, so eerily familiar, she felt herself moving closer to the Potions Instructor and wrapping her arms around his waist in a hug.

"Please, be careful Kagome, for some reason I find myself wanting to keep you safe, so don't go rushing off into danger."

"...I'll do my best..."

-x-x-x-

Draco growled out irritably, he had lost Kagome in the crowd, couldn't find Snape, and Blaise and Theodore had parted ways with him to share tales of their Adventures with Dragons. Now, he was searching for the two buffoons who were normally following him around at this time. He couldn't find them, and students were already heading up to their dorm rooms for bed, so he turned around to see if he could find them there.

Walking down the stairs to the Dungeons where the Slytherin dorms were, he said the password to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin and entered as it swung open. Students were already heading to bed, it was only eight-thirty, but the busy days events had taken there toll on all of them. "Oi, Honey!"

Honey turned and smiled charmingly, "Yes, Draco?" He was sitting on the couch reading a Potions book, by the looks of it, it was one of the more advanced books.

"Have you seen Crabbe or Goyle?"

"Ah...the gluttonous livestock...I do believe they snuck out not too long ago for some midnight treats. I recommend checking the kitchen or the great hall, and if they prove not to be there, then the only place I can assume that the hungry raccoons might, is in a wastebasket." He turned back to the book he was reading, and Draco left once more in search of his father hired arms, annoyed that he was being forced to look for the two idiots. He had the mental image of two raccoons with Crabbe and Goyle's faces, rummaging through the garbage looking for food that had been tossed away and couldn't stop the smirk from forming on his lips.

He rounded a corner and saw the two idiots being berated by one of the Prefects, and to his luck and dismay, it was the family of Kagome, the only Gryffindor, the only person, he had no real want of harming, either physically, verbally, or emotionally. "Crabbe, Goyle! Where have you two been? Pigging out in the great hall all this time?" He frowned at the odd stances they stood in, slouched instead of standing straight with their normal air of I'm-bigger-than-you-and-can-hit-really-hard. Then he took note of the glasses and a look of wonder passed by, "Why are you wearing glasses?"

"...uh...r-reading,"

'Strange,' Draco frowned, "I didn't know you could read," He frowned, 'Of course he can, but he doesn't wear glasses. I've known the two oafs since we were six, and both have twenty-twenty vision...though, they aren't too bright...' He took a look at Percy and as he made to say something, he changed his mind, "Good night, Weasley,"

The three stared in shock, but said nothing as the two followed Draco back to the Slytherin Common Room.

Draco sat down next to Honey and stared at the two across from him, something was not right, and he wanted to figure it out quickly.

"Ooh, joy..." Honey said sarcastically, "You found the human garbage disposals,"

"Yes, so I did," He looked at the two and frowned, "Well? Sit down,"

"Oh,"

He shook his head and sighed, 'They are acting strange, but their just as stupid as they've always been,' lying down on the couch, he made sure he wasn't lying too close to Honey, so not to disturb him from his reading, and made a random comment on the Chamber of Secrets. Really, it was just a conversation starter, and Conversation it started.

"Surely you must have some idea who's behind it,"

He scoffed, were the two of them playing stupid, or were they really this dumb? "I've already told you that I don't know! My father sent me a letter about four weeks back, but nothing, he only told me that the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a mud─...Muggle-born died,"

"What...?"

"Yeah, it was back from before even father was in school, so...I don't know. I honestly...don't know..."

Honey looked up as closed his book, "I heard Flint and his group saying that they were hoping the next person to be petrified would be Granger or...Kagome..."

"...well...it might happen, not Granger, I wouldn't think. She doesn't strike me as the type to go wandering around at night, and all the attacks have happened at night...I mean, unless she's doing some late night studying, which is more than possible, I guess."

"What about Kagome?"

Draco looked at Crabbe and took note of a soft outline appearing on his forehead, one which couldn't be mistaken for anything but what it was. "She's just the type to go sneaking off at night, wandering around looking for trouble, she'd be petrified...if it weren't for the fact that she knows how to handle herself in dangerous situations, I might be worried, but I'm more worried about what will happen if two Gryffindor's are found in the Slytherin Common room, which leads me to an curious quandary, where are Crabbe...and Goyle..." He eyed the two boys in front of him, glaring at the red hair, bright green eyes, freckles and scar. "Harry, Ron? Don't either of you feel the least bit ashamed?"

"..."

"Of course, not, only the brave, and careless are in Gryffindor, why would they feel ashamed when they break rules or enter the common room of another house that's not their own." Honey didn't look away from his book, and he didn't seem surprised either. "Why all the secrecy and sneaking about? If you had a question, couldn't you have just...I don't know...asked?"

Draco looked at the two, seriously wondering over the whereabouts of Crabbe and Goyle, now that Harry and Ron had been revealed, and in such a weird way! "You clearly used a potion, if I were to guess, the Polyjuice potion...which means, judging by the complexity of that potion, the brains behind this little escapade was Granger...I'm right, aren't I?"

"...she wanted us to be sure, and said that you would no doubt tell Crabbe and Goyle anything,"

He smirked, "Well, what do you know, there is something that the Know-It-All...doesn't know. I don't tell Crabbe and Goyle everything. Though I trust them with most things, like myself, they are Slytherin's."

Harry frowned, "Which is why I thought you would trust them over others,"

Draco shook his head and stood up, walking to a table where two boxes sat, a small one, and a large one, he picked up the small one, which had no name and flipped it over.

"That's Pansy's, from Kagome...she won't open it...scared Kagome jinxed it or some nonsense, the card that came with it is in the trash next to it, I think. The other one is yours..." Honey said, smiling as he recalled the girls' reaction towards the gift.

"Ah," He glanced in the trash bin, which, sure enough, was a crushed up letter.

"Kagome got you presents too!" Ron looked as if he'd eaten a sour grape or a lemon drop.

Draco placed Pansy's gift down and pulled the card from atop his gift, wondering why it was out here, and not on his bed with any others he might have gotten. 'You, Blaise, and Theodore are so much alike, it scares me sometimes, which is why I thought of all three of you when I bought these, I hope you all enjoy, don't forget to feed him, and give him a good name, Draco. Have fun, and stay true to who you are. Sincerest regards, Kagome~' He pulled the ribbon and tore off the wrapping paper, it was a small cage, about seven inches in all directions, width, length, height...and inside...was a Common Welsh Green Magical Model, green in color, wings moving in rhythm as it looked him in the eyes, shaking it's head irritably, lifting it's claws and placing them on the cage. Draco opened the cage and it shot out, flying quickly through the room and breathing narrow jets of fire as it did so.

Blaise entered with a laugh, "So you did get one, me and Theo were letting our get acquainted! Look," He whistled, "Fino!"

Draco, Harry, Ron and Honey looked over as an iridescent, pearly scaled dragon similar to those in Asian Mythology, snaked through the air towards Blaise.

"SHE GOT YOU DRAGONS?" Ron was now standing, unaware of a third dragon sneaking up on him until a tongue tickled at his ear, causing him to jump and turn around. He didn't see anything, so turned back and came face to face with a silvery blue dragon, wings opened wide as it prepared to blow fire. Ron fell backwards onto the couch and stared at the little creature in surprise. "...their so small..."

"Their life-like Magical Models," Another voice appeared, everyone turned to see Theodore standing at the top of the stairs with a sneer. "I don't care about Kagome coming in here, but those two, the Gryffindor Golden boys, they need to leave now,"

Draco nodded, "Yes, I agree...I may not be insulting you on a constant basis, but that doesn't mean that we are on friendly enough terms that you can just sit in our common room with us conversing over anything you want, and it won't be forgiven, using potions to sneak inside our common room, or stealing the Slytherin robes off of Slytherin students, this should be reported, but if you leave now, it won't leave this room."

Harry glanced at Ron, and Ron growled in annoyance, but nodded none the less. "Let's go," Harry said to his red haired friend who followed out of the Common room, leaving Draco, Honey, Blaise, and Theodore alone, watching the three dragons fly about playfully.

"Do you know their breeds? What are their names, I assume Fino is short for something, yes?" Honey closed his book as he gazed into Blaise's grey blue eyes.

Blaise shifted on his feet and shrugged, "Serafino, it's and Italian name, it means, burning serpent." He pulled out a little piece of paper and flipped it, revealing a picture of the dragon and its breed information. "It's an Antipodean Opaleye,"

"How fitting," Honey watched the dragon curiously, it was the most snake like among them, the oriental like body gave it a unique disposition, making it charming in not only it's vibrant colors, but different contour. "What of yours, Nott?"

"He's a Swedish Short-Snout, names Arluin, meaning noble friend."

Honey smiled as Arluin sneezed on the table, leaving a small scorch mark right before him, "I see...what about you Draco?"

"Idris, it means ardent master and impulsive lord. He's a Common Welsh Green," Draco grinned as the little green dragon landed next to the other two dragons on the table.

"Wonderful names, all of them," Honey stood and stretched his arms high above his head before yawning, "I'm off to bed, if you'll excuse me,"

The three nodded and watched him leave, they too followed him to bed though, tomorrow would be an early day, and they didn't want to try and face it half asleep.

-x-x-x-

Kagome was leaving the Potions room after a long conversation with Snape when he stopped her. "Yes?"

"I never thanked you properly for the gift,"

Kagome grinned, "You liked it I hope, yes?"

"I will greatly enjoy using it, thank you, and...This is for you," He handed her a small box with a slight smile of his own. On his desk sat the opened box with his own gift from Kagome. A Probity Probe, which was shaped similarly like a wand, a long thin flexible golden rod which was used like a Muggle security wand, which detected spells of concealment and hidden magical objects; beneath it was a book. If he wrote an item down in the book, the Probity Probe would detect it immediately and he in turn would confiscate it.

Kagome opened the small present and her eyes widened once the lid was removed, a necklace with silver and emerald gems separating three glass vials filled with unknown contents from the front, labels hidden on the back, lay centered in the box on a plush black satin pillow. The first vial was filled with a deep red liquid with a smoky swirl to it. The second was filled with a smooth, black currant-colored liquid, which faded down into a light shade of lilac, before settling at the bottom of the vial as clear as water. The third and final vial was filled with a smoky green liquid which was much thicker in substance than that of the other two vials. She read the labels on the back and smiled, reading them in order out loud, from the first to the third, she had a Blood Replenishing Potion, Draught of Living Death Potion, and the Wiggenweld Potion. "Oh thank you Professor!"

"Use them carefully, be sure that it is with astuteness that you utilize any of these potions."

"Of course, thank you Professor Snape!" She hugged him tightly.

"Good, now...off to sleep!"

Kagome nodded, then took off in a run towards Gryffindor Tower where she ran into Harry and Ron in Slytherin wear.

Kagome frowned...'I must have started a trend, stealing Slytherin Clothes! I wonder whose clothes they are wearing anyways, and...Where's Hermione?'

While her thoughts were tumbling into her mind a hundred miles a second, she didn't realize that the two boys were staring at her with questions of their own.

Neither would be getting answers just yet though, this much was made certain when the portrait opened without any of them giving it to the painting.
