Son of the Dark: 4

When Kai reached compartment C, he had tied his hair back ,took the hair pins out and was trying to get his fringe to its normal style, opening the compartment door he sew at once he was not Slughorn's only invited guest, there was a fellow Slytherin from his year, a tall black boy with high cheekbones and long, slanting eyes; there were also two seventh-year boys Kai didn't know, squashed in the corner beside Slughorn and looking as though she was not entirely sure had got there, Ginny. "Kai m'boy" said Slughorn, jumping up to greet Kai "good to see you!"

Kai nods, looking a little freaked-out. At a gesture from Slughorn, he sat down next to the taller Slytherin boy. "now, do you know everyone?" Slughorn asked Kai "Blaise Zabini is in your year and house, of course-" Zabini nods to Kai who politely bows his head to the other.

"this is Cormac McLaggen" McLaggen, a large, wire-haired youth, raised a hand as a greeting to Kai. "and this is Marcus Belby" Belby, who was thin and nervous-looking, gave a strained smile.

"and this charming young lady tells me she's met you!" Slughorn finishes. Ginny did not make any sign of greeting just looked away, making Kai know that her brother, Ron had told her all about him.

"now we only have to wait for Mr. Potter and Mr. Longbottom!" Slughorn said happily, at that very moment there was a knock at the compartment door upon which Kai's hole body went stiff and 'shit' was the only thing that came to his mind at the time.

Neville and Harry sat down opposite each other in the only two empty seats, which were nearest to the door. Kai pretended to not notice them and when Slughorn said his name, he did the same as Zabini and gave no sign of recognition or greeting knowing Harry nor Neville would do the same.

"well now, this is most pleasant" said Slughorn cosily. "a chance to get to know you all a little better. Here, take a napkin. I've packed my own lunch, the trolley, as I remember it, is heavy on Liquorice Wands, and a poor old man's digestive system isn't quite up to such things … pheasant, Belby?" Belby started, and accepted what looked like half a cold pheasant.

"I was just telling young Marcus here that I had the pleasure of teaching his Uncle Damocles" Slughorn told Harry , Neville and Kai, passing around a basket of rolls. "outstanding wizard, outstanding, and his Order of Merlin most well-deserved. Do you see much of your uncle, Marc-" Kai decided that this was a good time to toon-out all their chatter,(fighting) knowing that they were going to talk about something unimportant, that Kai didn't need to know.

"Mr Hiwatari how is your darling mother Kikyou, a absolutely beautiful witch, You look just like her! She was one of the most talented witches I have ever tort! Even if she did like to play that muggle game, what was it? That thing with the spinning-tops, never mind! Your father never liked anything muggle so I'm betting he got her to stop!" Slughorn said happily. Kai ,Harry ,Neville and Ginny's eyes widened once Slughorn mentioned Kai's father.

"um. My mother died when I was four" Kai stats without any emotion in his voice or on his face, Slughorn's eyes widened "I'm sorry m'boy, she was a lovely young lady. Well how's your father Tom then? He was a bright boy that one" Slughorn asked, Kai shrugs "I don't really remember him, during the war he sent me and my mother home to Japan so we were safe, never seen him since" Kai said, not looking at Harry once, knowing that he knew the last bit was a lie: he now knew the snack-guy he'd seen was his dad ,but its not like he knew that at the time! Harry eyes narrowed, looking at Kai who sew the look and cleared his throat and shifted nervously.

"well.. I'd better get going" Kai said standing up. Slughorn quickly stud-up and put a hand on Kai's shoulder "you don't have to go yet, m'boy!" "I'm sorry Professor Slughorn, but as you can see I haven't changed yet and its nearly 7" Kai apologies with a fake smile as he walked out the compartment.(the train gets to Hogsmeade village by 7pm)

"thank god! I didn't think I'd ever get away from that guy! And why did he have to start talking about my mother and farther, THAT TWAT!" Kai thought as he hurried down the trains corridor on his way back to his compartment.

The BladeBreakers were in the great hall ,sitting at the Slytherin table. The other Slytherin's just gave them dirty looks: after what happened to Draco last year they didn't want to get sent flying if they said anything. Kai was talking to Max about getting some nail-varnish remover, he was wearing his uniform while the others wore their normal clothes.

The first years had been sorted when all of a sudden the Great-Hall's doors swung open as Professor Snape walked in with Harry following, Kai could see Harry's face was covered in blood as he walked quickly past the HufflePuff table towards where Hermione and Ron were seated. "what happened to him?" Tyson whispered to Kai who turned to him with an annoyed look "how the bloody hell would I know? The last time I sew him was in Professor Slughorns compartment" he whispered then his voice turned cold "the fucking basted" he growled which was very much like Rei's growl.

Dumbledore got to his feet at the staff table. The talk and laughter echoing around the hall died away almost instantly. "the very best of evenings to you!" he said, smiling broadly, his arms opened wide as though to embrace the whole room.

"what's with his hand?" Daichi gasped. He was not the only one who had noticed. Dumbledore's right hand was blackened and dead-looking. Whispers swept the room; Dumbledore, interpreting them correctly, merely smiled and shook his purple and gold sleeve over his injury. "Nothing to worry about" he said airily "Now … to our new students, welcome; to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you…" Boring!! BladeBreakers all thought as their head hit the table.

"We are pleased to welcome a new member of staff this year. Professor Slughorn" Slughorn stood up, his bald head gleaming in the candlelight, his big waist coated belly casting the table below into shadow, "if a former colleague of mine who has agreed to resume his old post of potions master"

"Potions?"

"Potions?"

The word echoed all over the Hall as people wondered whether they had heard right. "Professor Snape, meanwhile" Dumbledore said ,raising his voice so it carried over all the muttering, "will be taking over the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"No!" Harry said, so loudly that many heads turned in his direction. Kai just shook his head as he thought: that guy's to rash, it'll get him killed one day.

Dumbledore cleared his throat making everyone in the Hall quieten once again, "Now, as everybody in this Hall knows, Lord Voldmort and his followers are once more at large and gaining in strength". the silence seemed to tauten and strain as Dumbledore spoke. "I cannot emphasise strongly enough how dangerous the present situation…"

Yet again the bladers were bored, Kai was starting to wonder if they had A.D.D, but its not like he could take he was bored too. Kai looked down the table and sew Draco wasn't listening either; hr was making his fork hover in midair with his wand. he must be bored to Kai thought before turning his attention back to the headmaster.

Dumbledore smiled and with a twinkle in his eyes spoke "But now, your beds await, as warm and comfortable as you could possibly wish, and I know that your top priority is to be well-rested for your lessons tomorrow. Let us therefore say goodnight. Pip pip!". As Kai heard this he rolled his eyes at how cheesy that was. All the bladers stud-up and made their way to their privet rooms.
