So, this has actually been edited and just sitting on my computer. Yay for procrastination.

If there is anything you should fear it is a teenage girl with too much free time on her hands. Elizabeth was one of those girls. She led Draco out of the rooms and towards the Gryffindor tower. She had a little revenge to seek out and a few things to collect.
"Why in the world are we going towards the Gryffindorks lair?" Draco asked quietly as the crept through the hallways, even though everyone else was in class.
"I told you. I have stuff up there that I need to get and there's a certain red head that needs a small lesson." Elizabeth explained. She had a few tricks up her sleeves that she learned from the twins and decided to try them out on their brother.
"I don't see why we couldn't just send Harry to get them." Draco tried to reason. He did not want to go to the tower and plus he had plenty of school work from the summer to finish. Not a lot, but he did slack a bit and he was trying to keep his father from finding out that little fact as well. Draco also bet his last Galleon that Elizabeth probably did not finish hers either.
"Where's the fun in that? Besides that, one of the things I need to retrieve only will let me come near it. It hates Harry, and Ron, and Hermione and pretty much everyone." Elizabeth laughed. She was not going to tell Draco what it was until they were back in their rooms.
"I fear whatever you need to get now. If it hates everyone I have a good feeling that it won't like me either." Draco sighed. Anything like that could not be good for his health. Plus with him being Veela makes it even more interesting, especially if it was an animal. They continued on their way to the tower, when after what seemed like forever, they arrived at the Fat Lady.
"Oh hello dear. I haven't seen you in a couple of days." The Fat Lady greeted with a smile. Elizabeth smiled; she always liked the Fat Lady. You just have to know how to get on her good side. Something the boys and Hermione never figured out.
"I'm sorry dear Lady. I got a new room, with a new roommate." Elizabeth replied, gesturing to Draco.
"Oh how wonderful! And he's a Veela too. Well, congratulations to you dear." The Fat Lady cooed. Elizabeth beamed, not at all embarrassed by what the Fat Lady was saying, unlike Draco who was looking anywhere, but at the Fat Lady.
"It was nice speaking with you once again, but I'm afraid I have some business to attend to, so Leo Minor." Elizabeth politely explained. The Fat Lady smiled and gave a slight bow. The portrait swung open and the pair stepped inside. The common room was in other words homey. It was done up in reds and golds, but not over bearing, meant to feel warm and seem like a fire. Elizabeth smiled upon entering the room. She always felt completely at home when she was here, not that she did not like her actual home.
"I can't believe it, a snake in the den of the lions." Draco huffed. He really wanted to leave, the Gryffindor common was entirely different from the Slytherin rooms. It made him feel out of place, even though he would never admit it out loud. Malfoys did not feel discomfort or emotion in general, that was just the way things were for his family.
"Yeah, well get over it. We won't be here long anyways." Elizabeth chided, walking over to the stairs which led to the rooms. Draco went to follow, but Elizabeth held a hand up.
"Nuh uh. I'm going to the girls' dorm and you are sure as hell not getting in. You can wait down here." Elizabeth scolded lightly. Draco frowned; he honestly did not see why it was such a big deal. In the Slytherin common rooms it was not uncommon for everyone to into everyone else's rooms. Girls could go into the guys and the guys could go into the girls. Snape was not entirely that strict and had charms set up all over so nothing did happen. Draco sighed and went and sat on one of the couches to wait for Elizabeth to finish whatever she planned on doing.
"That's a good boy. Back in a flash Dray." Elizabeth smiled as she turned and headed to the girls' room. She found the door that led to her room and opened it. Memories flooded back and she sighed. Elizabeth shook her head before too much came back, now was not the time. She was on a mission!
"Now where did I leave that trunk?" Elizabeth asked herself looking around the room. She suddenly snapped her fingers and dove for Hermione's bed. She had forgotten that she had asked Hermione to watch the stuff she had left behind. Finding it under the bed Elizabeth smiled, sliding onto the floor and opened the trunk. Inside was a hodge podge of every sort. She gently picked up a picture of her and Harry. It was back in their fourth year, during the Yule ball, they were dancing together. She laughed as she remembered what happened after the picture was taken. Harry had accidently let go and she flew into the snack table. Harry thought she was furious, but she simply laughed it off and rubbed icing in Harry's face. Elizabeth put the picture down and picked up a small rose shaped box. She lifted the lid and sighed, inside was a small heart shaped necklace that her 'sister' had gotten her. How she missed Aryn. She placed the box back in the trunk and shut the lid. Too many memories and not enough time at that point. She shrunk the trunk and placed it in her pocket.
"Oh Hades, where are you?" Elizabeth called walking around the room. She saw a black blur streak to her right.
"Gotcha." Elizabeth smirked, and dove towards the blur. She wrestled under Lavenders bed and came back cuddling something.
"Let's get you to your new home." Elizabeth said softly. She walked back to Hermione's bed and pulled out a small cage. She placed what was in her hands in the cage and closed the lid. Now time for the revenge half of this mission.
Elizabeth carried her items back to the common room and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the site before her. Draco was laying on the floor looking up at the ceiling mumbling something. She set the cage by the couch and walked over to look down at Draco.
"What are you doing Draco?" Elizabeth questioned, trying not to smile. Draco startled slightly and looked at Elizabeth.
"Listing off Potions ingredients to keep me sane. I've been here far too long." Draco explained plainly, resisting the urge to smile at Elizabeth's expression. Elizabeth giggled and tapped Draco on the nose.
"You're silly Dray. But I'm almost done, and you can help me with the second half." Elizabeth stated. She offered her hand to Draco, which he graciously accepted.
"Now what are we doing?" Draco simply asked. He almost jumped back when he saw the face of evil.
"Revenge." Is all Elizabeth said. She drug him towards the boys' dorm, and pulled him inside.
"I couldn't go in the girls' dorm, but you're allowed in here?" Draco asked confused.
"Don't question my methods or theories. I was treated as one of the guys when I first got here, so I was welcomed in here. Now get over it." Elizabeth rushed through. She walked over to Ron's bed and rolled onto it. She stared at the top of the canopy for a bit then smiled. People were going to hear about this for days.
"Whose bed is that and what do you plan on doing?" Draco asked carefully. She looked like an evil mastermind at work.
"Ron's and just wait and see," Elizabeth started standing up on the bed, "I found out I'm excellent at Charms, and I plan on using that to my advantage."
Draco nodded and watched her go to work, although his inner Veela was in a fury because she was rolling around in some other guy's bed. Draco tried to push it down. That was for another time; because he had a feeling bodily harm would come to him if he did say something. Elizabeth went about whispering charms in the corner of the bed, then dragging the light down onto the bed itself.
"All done! Let's go Draco, I want to get back to our room before class let's out." Elizabeth shouted suddenly, before Draco could say or do anything his wrist was captured and he was being dragged out the door and down the stairs. He only had a moments break when Elizabeth picked up a cage from by the couch.
"What is th-"Draco started but was cut off when he was once again drug out the main door and down the hallway. Elizabeth had him all but wind sprinting down the halls, it was as if the Devil was on their heels, or Voldemort. They did not stop until they reached the portrait of their personal rooms.
"Password?" a gravelly accented voice asked. Draco's head snapped up at the sound of their guardian's voice. The knight leaned against his frame, as if he was bored, but his eyes were alight with amusement.
"Hello, Jaq. Lyin' eyes." Elizabeth greeted. The knight, now known as Jaq, bowed low and the door swung open. Elizabeth let go of Draco's wrist and walked in, heading over to the couch and sat down on the couch, placing the cage at her feet. Draco stepped around the couch and quietly sat in the chair next to the fire place.
"So, what were you doing to Weasel's bed?" Draco asked after catching his breath from the marathon Elizabeth had him run.
"Oh you'll most definitely hear about it tomorrow from Harry, who will hear about it from Ron. Or the entire boys dorm." Elizabeth smiled slyly. Draco nodded then heard a noise come from the cage on the floor.
"Shoot. How could I forget about you?" Elizabeth cooed, leaning down to open the door. She reached in and pulled out a black mass, who in return meowed.
"Exactly what do you have there?" Draco inquired. Elizabeth smiled and let the thing in her lap sit up. It was a cat, a very large one too. Of course it was a cat.
"This is Hades, my baby. My adoptive mom gave him to me when I first found out I was going to Hogwarts." Elizabeth explained, petting Hades' head.
"So that's the thing that likes no one. Good to know." Draco remarked, eyeing the beast.
"Do you think your father would mind if we kept him here with us? I don't want to leave him alone up in the tower." Elizabeth asked softly. She was used to being told no though, so it would not affect her, much.
"I'm not sure, but I highly doubt it would be a problem. Let's ask when he gets back from work or wherever he is this day." Draco replied lightly. Lucius was probably at home speaking with mother or bothering Snape, seeing as it was lunch.
"So I'm gonna let him wander around for a bit. Get used to the place." Elizabeth announced, setting Hades down. Hades looked around for a moment them walked over to Draco and rubbed up against his legs.
"That's odd. He hardly likes anyone." Elizabeth smiled. Draco reached down and stroked Hades' head. He smiled when the cat started purring, Hades was kind of cute.
"Why did you name him Hades?" Draco questioned, still petting said cat.
"It was my sister's idea. Her mother is an anthropology major, with an emphasis in mythology or religion. We both have been learning about the different gods before we could talk. My owl's name is Hermes, just a little fun fact." Elizabeth explained with a wave of her hand. What she also omitted was that her owl was a potoo, which was a strange owl from Venezuela.
"You and the strange just click don't you," Draco asked then recalled what she said, "I thought Harry was your only family?"
Elizabeth laughed a little, "I'm adopted Draco. I was raised in the Muggle world like Harry, but a little different. While he stayed with our uncle and aunt, I went through foster care until Nora, my adoptive mom, got landed with me and decided to adopt me. She had a daughter named Aryn, so we became sisters."
"Oh, I wonder why you didn't live with Harry." Draco pondered.
"That's a question that only Dumbledore could answer." Elizabeth answered, leaning back into the couch. Draco stared at her and wonder how hectic his life was going to be now with her in it, but he almost could not wait for it.
Well you know the drill.
R&R for a Twix and a hug.
