The forgotten son

"Urgh! This months been bloody murder" Blaise groaned, falling face-first into his large bed. The first couple months back at Hogwarts had been hell for everyone thanks to Professor Umbridge, all they'd been doing is study and do home work. She told them that it was to make-up for all the years of bad teaching they'd received. "That woman's gonna be the death of me"

"Agreed" Draco sighed, sitting down next to him on the bed, Crabbe and Goyle deciding to sit on the floor.

"It'll calm down eventually" Kai grunted, pulling his robe off as he walked into the room behind them. He wouldn't really call the other boys his friends, but after the second week Kai decided he was sick of never actually talking to people. So in the end he ended up sitting with the others at mealtimes and made comments about their convocation until eventually he started talking to them normally.

"Father told me in one of his letters to be polite to the woman…or at least stay out of her way" Draco told them while disrobing and taking off his shoes.

"Yeah. Did you hear what she dose to you in detention? I wouldn't want to be on her bad-side" Crabbe muttered, looking up from one of his many comic-books.

"Hn. Disgraceful, if you ask me" Kai muttered as he grabbed Chibi-EMO's collar and lead, preparing to take him for a walk. "Come on, Chibi" he said, picking his kit up and placing the collar around his neck "You need a real walk, not skulking around the castle as you please." he ordered as he dragged the lazy fox from the room.

"See ya', Hiwatari!"

"Hn."

A couple of days later Kai was walking down one of the many corridors near the Great Hall while reading a large book and had a stack of books under his left arm. He had been in the Library all morning doing research for the essay on wolfs-bane that Professor Snape had assigned to his class. As he got closer to Great Hall the more he began to hear raised voices:

"What exactly are you insinuating?" he heard a Professor Umbridge's high voice echo through the corridor.

"I'm merely requesting that when it comes to my students you stay to the disciplinary practices" that sounded like Professor McGonagall. Her voice sounded stressed and had a forced polite sound to it. Interested, Kai walked towards the source of the disturbance, it was McGonagall and Umbridge bickering on the steps, like he had suspected. Apparently he wasn't the only spectator to the obvious cat-fight, a large group of students stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching silently.

"So silly of me, but it sounds like your questioning my authority in my own classroom" Umbridge questioned, the fake ignorance in her voice was obviously starting to tick Professor McGonagall off as much as it did Kai.

"Not at all Dolores, merely your medieval methods" McGonagall spat back, her patience obviously at its end.

"I'm sorry dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry and the Minister himself, I'm a tolerant woman but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty" Umbridge said in a condescending voice.

"Disloyalty?" McGonagall looked shocked and outraged at the clame, taking a step down as Umbridge took a step up on the stairs.

"Things at Hogwarts are far worse then I feared, so the Ministry will take immediate action" Professor Umbridge states looking a little ticked off. Kai couldn't help but smile at this, not at what she said but the fact that Professor McGonagall had managed to under he skin.

Turns out, Umbridge had talked to the Minister and days later it was announced it the Daily Prophet that Professor Umbrige had been named Hogwarts High Inquisitor. It other words she could now come into classes and change what ever she wants, including the teachers. The first inspected lesson Kai had with Umbridge went well, as well as to be expected. In had been a Potions class, due to Professor Trelawney taking a sick-day her classes for the day had been merged with other classes.

So there he was with his fellow Slytherin's, stuffed into the Potions classroom with the 5th year Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's. Umbridge a good amount of time sitting quietly in the corner taking notes, but after awhile she had started questioning Professor Snape, in a rather rude manner is you asked Kai. She'd asked about his failed attempts for the roll as Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Doing so she had royally pissed the Potions Master off, Kai was sure at that point Snape was ether going storm out or punch the bitch, thankfully for his career he didn't do ether. As soon as she'd left Professor Snape gave the red-headed boy that sniggered a harsh smack over the head with some papers. Kai remembered the boy from his D.A.D.A. classes; he and his friends seemed to have a problem with keeping out of trouble, from what he remembered, the boy with the glasses had already had plenty of detentions with the Toad already.

Not only had Umbridge ticked off all the staff to some degree, she had also dismissed Professor Trelawney. Not that the red-eyed teen minded, he didn't really enjoy Divinations anyway, but it did seem quit crule to the poor woman.

Kai paid no-mind to Umbridge really, he just spent most of his time studing to keep on-top of homework, O. and getting ready too free Dranzer and her power from his beyblade. He was starting to have bouts about being able to make her a new body, it seemed to advance for his level of magic, so he had started thinking he maybe able to let her at least move from her beyblade to his body so she'll be able to feel through him and be able to talk to him. That really did seem like the best option.

It was mid-winter, he was seated in the library reading when heard some students from Gryffindor, 'Neville?' he thought that was his name; he hadn't really spent much time with any Gryffindor students. He was talking about a group of fellow student that were going to be teaching defensive spells to all who wants too learn. It was being called 'Dumbledore's Army' and Kai had to admit it seemed like a pretty good idea, seeing as he'd attended Hogwarts for over two months and he still could only do basic defence-spells.

"Hay, Hiwatari. You coming?" Blaise called from the Slytherin common-room. Today was the trip to Hogsmeade, you needed signed permission from a legal guardian to go, but luckily Professor McGonagall had sent the paperwork to Mr. D not long after he had arrived in England, so it was all sorted for him to go. That was lucky in its self seeing as the first meeting for Dumbledore's Army was in Hogsmeade today and he really didn't want to miss-out on the opportunity.

"Hn. Yeah" the bluenette grunted, pulling on his scarf and gloves before heading out the bedroom and down the to common-room. Blaise was the only one waiting for him when he got there, Malfoy and his little group had already left without them. Not that Kai cared, in all honesty they had really started to annoy him with their constant talk of how brilliant Umbridge was being. It was kinda pathetic how low they went just because they hated the Gryffindor's.

"We going?" Kai asked, raising an eyebrow at the other boy as he headed out the portal.

"Yeah, but only to show you around, then your on your own" Blaise frowned, following behind him "I got things to do."

That's what he liked about Blaise, he was nether here nor there, he didn't really care about the whole Slytherin VS Gryffindor thing or Voldemort. All Blaise cared about was here and now. Kai really had to respect that about him. It also made it easier to talk to him.

Hogsmeade was nice, kinda like a Christmas card, the place was filled with cottages and the whole place was covered in a thick layer of fresh snow. Not that Kai really liked the cold, it went against his natural fire element, plus the snow got everywhere, including down his top giving him back-freeze. But by the time Blaise had shown Kai around the village, the meeting was just about to get started. When he had arrived at the Hog's Head he decided it was better to listened from the back, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and wait for what they had to say.

He recognised a couple of the others at the meeting, most of them were from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, he seemed to be the only Slytherin present, but that wasn't any surprise.

"Er," the girl named Granger started the meeting nervously "Well- er- hi. Well, you know why you're here. Well,…Harry had an idea- I mean"

Rolling his eyes at the childish behaviour, the bluenette shifted further into the shadows so not to get noticed, waiting for the meeting to properly begin.

"Because Lord Voldemort is back." okay, that got his attention. Since his dream Kai had kept his eyes and ears open for information on his father. From what he'd heard about Tom Riddle wasn't good at all, but if his loving mother cared for him, then there was obviously something worth caring about.

"well… that's the plan, anyway" Granger said "If you want to join us, we need to decide how we're going to-"

"Where's the proof You-Know-Who's back?" a blond Hufflepuff interrupted in a rather aggressive tone of voice.

"I saw him. But Dumbledore told the whole school what happened last year, and if you don't believe him, you wont believe me, and I'm not wasting an afternoon trying to convince anyone." Potter stated in a firm voice, Kai smirk at the way he held his ground against the other students, at least someone had a back-bone.

"All Dumbledore told us was that You-Know-Who was back, killed Cedric Diggory and that you brought his body back-"

"If all you came here for is details on what happened, you might as well clear-out" Potter growled.

Once the meeting finally ended Kai quickly walked up to Granger and signed the sheet, receiving a couple unnerved looks at he left silently afterwards.
