Chapter 16

Becoming a Slytherin

The ride home on the train wasn't too exciting, the twins stayed at Hogwarts, their parents were going to see their older brother in Romania, I think.

I did talk with a certain blond though, he was being very polite and charming, like he has in general all year, except for the first train ride. My power to hear other's thoughts just reinforced the idea that he was up to something, I could only pick up sinppits, as I haven't really practiced on reading the thoughts of others, just talking with them telepathically. The only thoughts that I was able to get from Draco were very confusing.

~Just be polite, she's half Slytherin~

~Got to get her to trust me~

~She's the child...~

I'm not that hard to get along with, I'm pretty laid back, though if you get on my bad side, it's not a pretty picture. The fact that he needs me to trust him, a Slytherin, makes me really think that something is up, and since I have already decided to find out what he is trying to do, I would convince him that I was on his side. But the fact that he called me a child, when he was no older than I, really irked me.

"So my dear Pureblood Witch, how was your semester in Gryffindor. I hope it was not to trying for you. When you come back to school, you will be in the best house, the house of pure bloods and the best of the magical world. I would, of course, love to show you around and introduce to my and your, future friends."

"Gyrffindor was ok, some of the students were very showoffy for me. Other than that, classes were fine, and I got along ok with those who would talk to me. Are you offering to be my guide and protector in the Slytherin house? It would be nice to have someone I already knew and trusted there."

Draco puffed up when I implied that I trusted him and wished that he would be my guide, he was sending out happy thoughts, adn something about finally making his father proud. I didn't get why my trusting Draco would make his father proud, but continued to discuss the school year, and what Slytherin was going to be like.

After hours of talking, we finally made it back to the station, Draco helped me with my stuff. I didn't see my parents yet, but that was normal, they tend to be late more time than not, quite the opposite of me, I like to show up at least ten minuets early for appointments. Draco was met by two very blond, pompous looking people, very formal, they were in their greetings. He looked over to me and motioned me over when he realized that I was waiting for my parents.

"Father, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Adonia Zeak, she will be in Slytherin for the next school term. Adonia, this is my father, Lucious Malfoy."

His father held out hand for mine, I placed my hand in his thinking we were going to shake hands, but he took my hand to place a kiss on it.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Zeak, I always enjoy meeting Draco's friends."

"It was nice meeting you as well, Mr. Malfoy." I noticed my parents coming towards me, so I knew I would have to introduce my parents now, they raised me to always be polite. "These are my parents, Mom, Dad, these are Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy and their son Draco. Draco is in my house of next semester." After all the formal introductions were done, I told Draco good bye, and followed my parents out of the station and went home.

Over the break I found out that doors opening somehow when I need them to open, like on Halloween night, wasn't as random as I thought. It turns out that if I concentrate I can move things with my mind. I looked it up in one of the books from my grandparents library, according to the Mental Magic: Fact or Fiction, the gift is called telekenisis; the ability to move things with the mind, and should be fiction, the gift has never been recorded to actually appearing in the magical or muggle populace. Turns out I'm a freak, a double freak to be exact, I also looked up the mind reading thing, which has never been seen without first using the Legilimens spell.

During the weeks before Christmas I practiced my freaky traits, doing everything with my mind...making cookies, wrapping gifts, and even some knitting, my grandmother taught me how do to that first, with my hands of course. I haven't told my parents about my telekenisis, or the telepathy, or the fact that I can change into a clouded leopard at will, it would scare my parents, I mean they freaked the first time they found out about my eyes changing colors when I was little. This new gift though will make pranks with the Twins even easier though, which was why I was practicing.

Christmas Day dawned cold, snowy, and white, inside the house it was toasty warm, with a nice big fire in the fireplace. My parents and Grandparents were already downstairs, drinking coffee, and sitting around the tree. I came down, still in my pjs and started passing out presents. From my Grandparents I got a box of pranks from my favorite prank shop in the US, they really are great that way. My mother and father got me several books on magical creatures from around the world, fun spells, and various charms and potions, good thing that I like to read. Fred got me a bag of my favorite candy from Honeydukes, and George gave me a box of our experimental candy that they were working on over Christmas break. I had given both of then some of American prank toys I had ordered from my store in the US and some wonderful homeade candy, I like to make and bake stuff.

The rest of the holiday passed by uneventfully, and before I realized it, I was back on the Hogwart's Express. Once again I sat with Draco, his friends joined us this time, the two goons, some girl, I think her name was Pansy, and a boy named Blaise. I talked with them the whole way back to school, already missing my Gryffindor friends cat, I left Shadow at home this semester, he was sick with something and I really didn't want him to be exposed to the Slutherins, who know what they would do to him, my parents promised to keep me updated on his condition.

When we got off the train, and back up to the school, via Threstral drawn carriages, I was met by Snape at the front door.

"So Miss Zeak, this semester you are to be Slytherin, I expect you to act in such a way to bring honor to our house. You will be sharing a room with the other first year girls, have one of them show you the room. Here is your new class schedual, since most of your classes are with Slytherin, it will not have changed much." With that, I watched Snape stalk into the Great Hall, I followed at a slower pace and slowly made my way over to the Slytherin table. This semester was going to be great, I could already feel the heat of the glares on the back of my neck, really, really great.
