Kagome woke the next morning to the sound of gossiping and frowned, peeking out from beneath her eyelids, she glared at the group of girls huddled around about by the door. Looking next to her, she saw Ginny was still asleep, and it wasn't yet time to wake up.

"Shh~" Kagome whispered to the group softly, causing them to look over before walking out the door to continue their chattering. Kagome lay back down and looked at her aunt, her cheeks were still lined with trails of tears from the night before, but at least she wasn't breathing hard or crying anymore. Bringing her hand up, she brushed a lock of ginger red hair from Ginny's face before sitting up and stretching. She carefully got out of Ginny's bed, making sure the girl was still tucked in before making her way to her own bed, grabbing a new set of clothes and a fresh robe; she headed to the shower and cleaned herself before appearing in clean clothes. She grabbed her bag and shook Ginny, it was ten minutes before she had to get up, so she might as well wake her before she left. "Aunt Ginny, time to get up,"

Ginny groaned a bit before opening her eyes tiredly and sitting up with a yawn. Cleaning her eyes of sleep, she glanced about the room, "Where is everyone?"

"Not the slightest idea, I woke up only thirty minutes ago, and went straight to the showers, I haven't been up long enough to know what everyone is gossiping over today,"

Ginny smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes, "I see,"

Sighing, Kagome sat down on her bed, "I won't force you to tell me anything, but I want you to know, when you're ready, if you need to talk, I will listen." Kagome hugged Ginny tightly, before releasing her and walking to her bed, putting her bag down, and taking off her robe, she pulled on her Weasley sweater, and then pulled back on the robe and bag before grabbing the necklace she'd gotten from Blaise and leaving the room.

Normally she didn't get up this early, but she knew she wouldn't be able to go to sleep anytime soon, so...

She passed by that earlier group of girls who had been talking a while ago so loudly, well, not loudly, but loud enough that Kagome could hear them.

"-oor is completely flooded."

"I heard it was coming from the girl's bathroom on the third floor."

"The creepy one?"

"Yeah,"

Kagome walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room and made her way down stairs for Breakfast.

She didn't care about messes on the floor unless they were in her way and causing her problems. She passed by a couple ghosts and made her way inside the great hall. She was immediately confronted by Hermione who walked in behind her, and frowned. "What are you reading?"

"Of Dragons and Other Deadly Beasts, by Glen Oshnott, though, it's nothing I haven't read already in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,"

Kagome nodded, "Are you looking for something in particular?" Sitting at their table, she put her satchel down by her feet and grabbed a piece of toast and so strawberry jam.

"Anything to help Harry out, since we've all forgone the thought of Draco being the heir of Slytherin, we have been taking a look at the rest of the students and even the professors, and not just those from Slytherin, but Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw as well."

"Yeah, I think you can rule out Hufflepuff," Kagome laughed, "I think...looking in the houses for perspective heirs, isn't the right approach. Also, I heard that something between you, Ron, Harry and a cat had taken place."

Hermione blushed, "Yes, about that. Try not to mention it to anyone; I would rather not have to deal with any rumors or commentary from the other girls."

Kagome chuckled, "Of course, now, if you will allow me a few more seconds to indulge you, I would advise that you keep thinking along the lines of a Slytherin Heir. While it may not be Draco, it is most definitely someone of Slytherin dissent."

"...So back to silver and green..."

"A wise man once said, It sort of goes against logic. So we're back to square one." Kagome laughed, "Anyways, I'll talk to you later; I have some researching to do myself," Kagome grabbed a muffin and left. Walking towards the Slytherin Common Room, she had the annoying feeling that something was about to happen, and it was bugging her. She need to talk to Draco, as well, she still needed to say thank you for all the gifts she'd been given.

She turned the corner and was irritably annoyed to find Peeves in her way, "Peeves!"

"Wittle firsty Gryffildor has lost its wittle way."

"Wittle firsty is going to go sick the Bloody Baron on you if you don't get lost!"

"No fun firsty,"

Kagome rolled her eyes and walked around the broken shards of glass on the floor from Peeves throwing glasses he had no doubt stolen from the kitchen earlier that morning. She was curious about the next match as well. Quidditch was always fun to fall back on during times of stress, so she looked forward to the match later.

Walking towards the picture of Salazar, she smiled, "Is Draco in?"

"He might be,"

"Draught of the Living Death,"

Salazar smiled, "Password has changed, oh brave Gryffindor,"

Kagome sighed, "I'll go t─" She was interrupted as the door swung open, out came Blaise with a smile on his face.

"I knew I heard your voice, come in!"

Kagome smiled, "Thanks!"

"You both realize that Slytherin's and Gryffindor's have never gotten along, right? You are making up your own rules..."

Kagome smiled to Salazar, "There are no problems making friends with other houses, the past is the past, the future is the future, but today is a gift, that's why they call it the present, you should know that, old man~" Leaving, she entered the Common room and smiled as she saw Draco lying lazily on the couch and Theodore sitting on the floor, both playing with their dragons.

"They have been like this all day, so boring, both of them."

Kagome turned and grinned, "Honey!"

The three boys turned, Blaise tensed and moved to sit next to Draco who laughed a little.

"Kagome, you are in trouble,"

"No, I'm not. I haven't done anything wrong, and even if I did, I would end up having detention with Snape and that's not bad."

"No, Ginger told me that something was about to happen, that you would be placed in harms way..."

"Ginger?"

"Yes, and I'm not talking about Parkinson," His eyes hardened and a serious look crossed his face. "My sister has always been able to feel when something bad is about to happen, and she has never been wrong to-date. Please, trust me...don't go wandering the corridors late at night...not if you don't want to be like Moaning Myrtle."

"Myrtle?" Kagome frowned, "Who's that?"

Draco and Blaise shared a look, "..."

Honey turned to leave, "Those are her words, I can't see into the future, I can only see the present, so..." He smiled, "I'll see you guys around,"

Kagome watched him leave and sighed, "He's soooooo cute...but….soooooo weird!"

Blaise laughed.

"Oh, a few things, I came here because...one, I don't speak Italian, what does...this mean?" She pulled out the pendent and held it out to Blaise who grinned.

"Voi siete la luce del sole...sorriso..." He pocketed his hands, "It means 'you are the light of the sun...smile...'."

Kagome blushed, "I see, thank you!" She smiled, "I needed a translator, but it's really thoughtful and beautiful, I owe a thank you to everyone actually. Didn't realize just how many friends I had...so...I saw Harry and Ron...on the way back from Snape's office...why...were they wearing your robes? I mean, I know why, but...whose?"

Draco sneered, "Crabbe's and Goyle's! The rats snuck in under the guise of my friends!"

Kagome gave a sympathetic smile, "I yelled at them for it just as well, I'm sorry that it happened."

"No, it's fine," Draco stood up with his green welsh on his shoulder now sleeping, "Lets go, I'm tired of being inside."

Theodore rolled his eyes, "Being kept at your Manor, we've become spoiled with the exciting life of a Dragon Tamer. We don't like doing nothing anymore, I remember it once was a very pleasant past time, now a bore of unpleasant mockery to which we cast upon the first years wasting away in the common room."

"...goodness, my apologies! I didn't know it was so terrible, taking you to a Dragon Prefecture...must have been so tedious," She laughed, "Let's go, I want to see how you fly now that you're off the backs of a Dragon and back on Brooms!"

(Next Day)

Kagome sat out beside Draco as they waited for Harry to come out with the rest of the Gryffindor team, she'd been up late talking with Draco until well into the night about what Honey had said, and then what had been going on with Ginny. She was worried for her, and hated not being able to help her. She told him about how, when she got back to the dorm after their practice, Hermione had told her about Harry's bed and trunk being ransacked, and that someone had stolen a diary from him. She knew who it was, which was why she was talking to Draco now, he had mentioned that she needed to tell Harry, and then, together, the three of them could figure something out.

"I don't know about this, Draco, she's my aunt, I don't want her to get expelled!"

"What's this about someone getting expelled?"

The two turned to see Professor Lockhart standing in all of his dorky magnificence. "...Professor..."

"Miss. Higurashi, Mr. Malfoy, so many tales have circulated around Hogwarts about the two of you and your budding relationship, it's...intriguing...slightly suspicious..."

Kagome gave a fake smile, "Sorry if those tales bother you, Professor, your robes look stunning on you though, not to change the topic, I can't help but compliment your choice of colors."

He laughed giddily, "Yes, well...I'll leave you both be, I'm needed elsewhere."

Kagome nodded as he left, "I'm sure you are," She muttered sarcastically. "Where is Harry! I'm about ready to change my mind about this whole fiasco and just confront Ginny myself!"

"Don't!" Draco sounded just as irritated, "You told me about the last time you confronted your Aunt, it went just about as well as telling a Dragon it's not allowed to fly anymore! We need to play this smart, leave her alone until Harry and Hermione know,"

"What are you two doing here?"

Once more, the two looked up and this time they were pleased to see Harry walking up the pitch with his team behind him.

"We need to talk to you before the ga─"

"Mr. Wood!"

The group turned to see Professor McGonagall walking up to them with a scroll in hand.

"Professor McGonagall," Oliver acknowledged the older woman.

"This match has been canceled," She said, cutting to the point.

"Canceled?!" Kagome asked.

"You can't cancel Quidditch."

"Silence Wood, you and your teammates will go to Gryffindor tower, now, Mr. Malfoy will do the same for Slytherin Dungeon."

"What...?" Kagome frowned, "Bu─"

"Potter," McGonagall cut the girl off with a stone look as the others left, with the exception of Draco. "You and I will find Mr. Weasley."

Draco frowned, "What of Granger?"

The group stared at him in shock for a moment, "Yeah, what about Hermione?" Harry questioned.

"...this is about...Miss. Granger..."

Kagome felt her heart drop, she knew what had happened, not needing to see it to know, she knew from the sad look in McGonagall's eyes, that Hermione Granger had been petrified.

"...no,"

Draco gripped Kagome's hand only to be pulled off towards the Hospital Wing in a run. It was about ten minutes later that Harry and Ron had joined them, Kagome was already sitting beside Hermione, Draco was sitting on the bed to the left of the brains of the Golden Trio, in Kagome's hands was a waded up piece of paper, and a look of pure determination.

"She was found near the library, along with this..." McGonagall held up a small handheld mirror, "does it mean anything to either of you?"

"No..."

Kagome stormed out of the Hospital Wing and back up to the Gryffindor Common Room with Draco running to keep up.

"Kagome!"

She turned and shushed him, walking close as a student passed them by and glanced at them curiously, "We will meet up tonight at eight, you know where,"

He nodded and turned to head back to his own Common Room, leaving Kagome to go and speak with her Aunt.
