Disclaimerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Chapter 9: Christmas!

KALI'S POV:

The train ride was rather uneventful. Ad, Al, and I had our own compartment. We are off to the Malfoys place.

"Do Auntie Narcissa and Uncle Lucious know who you really are? I know they were the Dark Lord's followers, but…" Ad trailed off, her voice breaking into my thoughts.

"Yes. I will also be announcing you two tonight as my most loyal followers, albeit my only. Besides Draco. He is a tad young however. He has been mine for three years. He will be my advisor once he is older." I smirk at them as we walk into the Malfoys house, which I have never been to. It is rather grand, although not quite as nice as Tom's Manor-, which is practically a palace. I lead the way in, and Al and Ad trail behind me, smiling. I have, of course, not even knocked. I am, after all, the Dark Child. Draco walks into the room, and his eyes brightening at the sight of me, runs and drops down in front of me, looking at me with reverence.

"Milady, you're here! I am so glad, Milady, for we-" He cuts himself off, blushing. "I prepared your room. I think you will like it." He turns to Al and Ad, standing and smiling at them. "Hello, Alameda, Adora." He nods.

"Hello Draco." They say together dutifully.

"Ah, Alameda, Adora, Darlings!" Says a voice I do not recognize. I turn to it, and see a man who looks slightly like Lucious, except with red hair like Alameda's. A woman with wavy black hair to her back comes in behind him, resting her hand on his shoulder. Interesting. They are obviously Al and Ad's parents, but… can they be trusted for the Announcing tonight that I was going to do? I think for a second then push a thought at Al: 'Are they on the side of the Dark Lord and I? Can I tell them about you guys being with me? Let down your shields for a second.'

'Yes, My Lady. They were just as devoted to the Dark Lord as Auntie and Uncle. They will be proud to know of our loyalty to you.' I hear Al think, and then I feel her shields go back up.

"I thought it was just Draco and his parents today?" I said, trying to sound like a confused child. It worked well enough- but apparently they already knew who I was, for the husband looked confused then whispered something to his wife, but I used legilimency on him as he was to discover he was telling her this: "Well, why on earth do they have this child labeled as the Dark Child? She's nothing special, she seems rather weak.". My eyes narrowed, and I looked at them thoughtfully, deciding whether they deserved to be punished for their insolence. "I see you have heard of me, already then, have you? That was just a façade, presented so I knew first whether you knew. And I assure you, you do not want to learn of my, ah, lack of weakness so early, do you?" I said warningly. Al and Ad looked frightened for a second, then they drew their faces into the blank masks I had taught them.

"Ah, no, Kali." The male said. "And, ah, I am Cato, and this is, ah, Celeste." He stumbles over his words. Celeste nodded at me.

I narrow my eyes in anger. "And who, may I ask, gave you the right to call me by name? I am Milady, or My Lady, depending on whether you are male or female, respectively. Few have earned the right of calling me by name, and they are namely Lucious, Narcissa, Bellatrix, and Wormtail. Although Wormtail really doesn't… never mind." I sneered. "And of course the children too small to know any better."

"Of course, sorry…" Cato trailed off, a look of pain on his face. "Milady." His face was contorted. I glared at him, pointedly staring at his face.

"I believe your name means good judgment, does it not? If I am correct in my belief, then you should be using your good judgment in not making that dreadful face." I rolled my eyes as his face smoothed out. Narcissa and Lucious walked into the room in their holiday best. Draco walked to their side.

"Alright now, Kali, no need to scare off our family." Lucious stated good-naturedly.

"And besides, we have our Christmas festival!" Narcissa said. Of course, I had forgotten they celebrated their Christmas early, that way Christmas day they could have a party. So we all walked into their large ballroom, which had a huge Christmas tree in the middle. There were several items around it, a small stack for each of the people present. "Alright, now, Alameda and Adora, you have been here before. Take your places, everyone, but Kali, ok, you need to sit in between Alameda and Adora. When we start, you will open your present's top to bottom, left to right, like a book. You will thank the present giver once it is opened. Understand?" I gave a swift nod. Everyone sat down, and on the signal, we each took the top left present. Mine was from Draco. Inside there was a pouch- made of moleskin. I smiled slightly, nodding at Draco. Within seconds everyone else was finished, but Draco was staring at me strangely, looking at the moleskin pouch. I looked down and saw a slight bump in it- Ah. The present was not the pouch itself, rather what was in it. I opened it and peered inside, a glimmering stone was inside, brilliantly faceted. I dumped it on my hand, and noticed it was not a stone, per se, but rather, a necklace with a stone drop. My eyes widened in recognition. They are banned from manufacturing because of the ingredients, however not banned from use or sale, for that would "cause them to go to waste" as the ministry had ruled over a century ago. This stone in particular would bring aid to the life span, and help with the Dark Arts. I smiled and placed it around my neck, nestling it deep down inside my robes, all that could be seen was the beautiful silver vines intertwined with the gold rope. The signal was again, and we each took the next. This time, mine was from Al and Ad. I opened it quickly, yet gracefully. I tilted my head, looking at the object. Then I realized that it was a communication journal. I nodded at Al and Ad, and they blushed with joy at knowing I had liked their gift. The next gift was from Lucious and Narcissa. At the signal I was growing tired of the manually opening, so I waved my hand and the wrapping slid off and folded itself into a neat pile on the ground, and I waved my hand again, which caused the rest of the wrapping paper around the room that was already off to do the same, folding itself. I looked at the object in my hands. That's interesting… I remember seeing something like this once before- then I realized that I held a doll, which looked eerily human.

"You think of someone's name and then you curse it or whatever. It's easier then getting close to someone to do it. A lot cleaner too. Unfortunately it can't do any permanent damage, namely the Avada Kedavra curse." Lucious frowned slightly.

"Brilliant." The first word I had spoken in the past hour slid silkily over my tongue. I nodded at him once, then without waiting for the next signal, picked up the second to last gift. I wrinkled my nose in distaste as I read the label. 'To Kali, From the Weasleys.'

"I didn't know if you would want it… But it could be useful, whatever it is." Narcissa smirked. I sighed and opened it. There was a plate of fudge, a homemade knitted sweater in Slytherin colors, and a packet of prank items. I rolled my eyes, but set it with the rest of my gifts.

"I need it in case Fred and George ask if I liked it, or something. I may be able to use them, so I need them to like me." I frowned. I then pick up the last gift. I do not know whom it is from. I open it to see a letter and a few items. I wave my hand over them, and they glow green. Safe. I pick up the first one, a cloak. I slip it around my shoulders and look down to see I am invisible. Brilliant! An invisibility cloak. And a true one, at that. Even has some shielding abilities, according to the energy it is giving off. I pick up the next, which is a pair of gloves. I recognize them; they are a really rare, expensive brand of dragon hide, goblin made gloves. They are, however, beautiful. They are designed to prevent the wearer from curses. Then there is a piece of cloth, which turns out to be a shape changing, meaning I can turn it into any outfit I choose, and it can adjust quicker then you can snap. And the last item is a potion. I know what it is, and I cannot believe it. The ingredients themselves cost millions of Galleons, they take years of time to make, and only an extremely experienced potions master can make it- there hasn't been any successful batches, as far as I know, in decades. This one smells of a stasis spell. I think for a split second, and then put some of it into a vial inside of my bracelet. The rest, I down in two gulps. A shiver goes through me, and I pull my cloak over my head, concentrating on changing to look like Narcissa, and I pull on my cloth, changing it to look like her outfit, and my gloves. I then pull of the cloak, drawing gasps, for sitting in my spot, is an exact copy, of Narcissa Malfoy. I then change instantly back to myself, drawing more gasps. I smile. I open the letter, and begin to read.

Dearest KaliAnna Marri,

That was not all. If you want the rest, come to the alley behind the Leaky Cauldron at 8 o'clock sharp tomorrow. Don't inform anyone, don't bring anyone. I am a friend. All I can say. I was one of the Dark Lords closest followers. I need you to get ready. You have to be strong, sweets.

Sincerely,

*Name scribbled out*

I gasped. That was it. I was turning it over and over, and both sides had turned blank. A thought tugged at my mind… Don't bring anyone with you… Of course I can protect myself, no problem there. Ok. I will go. And what was with the sweets, any way? I roll my eyes. I notice every one staring at me. "Well, everyone, I have an announcement. Al, Ad, come here please." I said, and they jumped up immediately, coming to me. They knelt in front of me, like we had practiced. "As you are my witnesses, I proclaim these two to be my loyal followers, and my first. They will also be the first to bear my mark." Al and Ad gasped. I had told them they would have a surprise, I had only told them the first part. I motioned for them to stand in front of me. "I have come up with something like the Dark Lord's Dark Mark, but less conspicuous, and no one will be able to sense anything dark from it. Now, Al, what would you like, and where?" I ask gently. Everyone gasps- Tom's had always been exactly the same, same spot, same size, same everything. "It would be more conspicuous if everyone had the exact same thing. They will, however, as my most loyal followers, be allowed to have a copy of my mark also, right on top of their right ankle. It is to be perfectly innocent looking, just a small dragon, and it will be black." I grinned eerily.

"Well, My Lady, I always have wanted a tattoo of a heart on my shoulder." Al blushed slightly. I grinned, and raised my wand to her shoulder, not even saying any words. She suddenly cringes, as the heart is burned into her arm. I then motioned for her to show her ankle. She lifts her robes and turns so my ankle is facing her. I kneel down and touch my wand to her ankle, and the same thing happens. I then motion for her to step aside. I motion for Ad to step forward.

"My Lady, I would like to have a rose, please. Same place as Al, please." She smiles with her eyes downcast slightly below mine. I then followed the same thing as I did with Al.

"It is done. Now, all that is left is for me to do my ankle." I smile at everyone, then conjure up a fluffy giant armchair, sit down, and raise my ankle. I give myself a dragon also, although mine is slightly larger. I then begin to explain the protocol. "Alright, now, what you do is if it is an emergency, and only if it is an emergency, you touch the dragon. I will come to you as fast as I can. If it is not an emergency, or if it is because you have completed a mission- yes I am going to be giving you one soon- then you touch the one on your shoulder. I will feel your touch in my ankle, if you touch the dragon, or in the matching place that you have your tattoo. I will of course, know who it is that touches it, so if someone else does, I will not come. If you touch the dragon falsely, you will have to be punished." I frown, and then turn to Draco. "Does Draco want to get one?" I ask his parents. Draco nods eagerly, and they confirm his wish. I tilt my head, thinking, and then motion for him to come. He comes to me and I give him the Dragon. "You do not get another tattoo yet. This will work for now. Remember, only emergencies. Only."

"Milady, ah, what do you mean by, ah, punishing my daughters? You surely do not mean that you will use, ah, the cruciatus curse like the, ah, Dark Lord did to, ah, his followers?" Cato asks, stumbling over his words. I know realize that is his natural stumble, not a simple nervous habit.

"Of course I do. Hopefully they will not need it." I frown. "Oh, and I can also summon you guys through these…"

"Father! Of course she can do that, she is our Mistress, and we are her faithful and loyal followers and servants!" Al and Ad chorus together. I smirk. They are already brilliantly trained. And the day is over.

NEXT DAY:

I wake up at 7 o'clock sharp, and I get my gloves and cloak. I slip the cloth over my shoulders, and I transform my features. I soon look like absolutely beautiful, big auburn curls that hang to my shoulders, which I do up so that way it hangs slightly framing my now slender face, a perfect nose and full shiny lips, and big sparkly green eyes. I am now perfectly slender with long thin hands and the cloth has transformed into green dress robes that hang perfectly accenting me, and shoes that are hard to describe, so I will simply say- they are exquisite. My gloves transform to match. I smile and port key to the Leaky Cauldron. By this time, it is seven forty-five, and I go inside and order a quick glass of coffee, into which I pour a calming draught, and some cocoa syrup that is sitting on the counter. I lazily wave my hand over it, stirring the spoon as I think about something, then realize what I am doing and make it look as though my finger had been pushing it. I lift my finger and the spoon out, and drink. It is delicious, and delivers a quick jolt of energy, and calm at the same time. I cast a quick time spell, and it is seven fifty-nine. I put a handful of Knuts and Sickles on the counter, a few extra for a tip, and walk outside into the alley behind, stepping in just as it turns to eight. I smile and wait. I sense someone in the shadow in front of me. I look harder and make out a shape, the shape of a woman.

"Kali?" They whisper.

"Who's there?" I whisper back, determined to not show who I am till I know who I am dealing with.

"Nothing, dearie. Just go on your way, you didn't see anything, I am just waiting for someone…" I shake my head. "Imperio!" I hear them mutter, and I feel a strong pull to walk away. I cannot not without giving myself away, but I can't do it, without… argh. So I shake my head again. She steps out. "Go away." She says, and I realize who it is. Oh. I could have told her I was Kali. It is just she! I giggle.

"Hello" I say, before being cut off by the cruciatus curse. I narrow my eyes, struggling to get rid of it.

"I gave you a chance, filthy little" She is cut off as I break it.

"Before I was so rudely cut off, I said HELLO, SAVANNAH!" I snarl. She looks taken aback, then she drops to her knees and bows to me, before looking up at me both reverently and pleadingly. I frown.

"I am sorry, Kali, I did not know! I swear!" She cries. I look around and cast a Muffiliato.

"You know better then to call me Kali. And how could you not know? Who else could throw off the imperious curse so easily? You know you should be punished for this…" I trailed off. "Well, what else is there?" I ask impatiently, as she digs through her pockets and hands me something. My eyes grow wide- it is the last ingredient! "You are forgiven." I say and walk away, taking off the Muffiliato. I walk back into the Leaky Cauldron, then port key out. Port keys are really getting annoying. I need to learn to apparate. Of course I do not port key back to the Malfoy Manor, but rather Tom's house. I smile and walk in, only to be tackled by someone, who wrestles me down and starts to punch me in the face. Then they are sure I am subdued, and they take out their wand and start to use the Cruciatus curse. Although I am hurting slightly from the punches in the face and the cruciatus curse, I throw off the latter. "I didn't really think punches were your style, Bellatrix." I frown. Then I realize why she did what she did. I furrow my brows, and within seconds I am myself, and wearing similar robes to what I used to wear. Bellatrix gasps.

"I'm so sorry, Kali, I really did not know, I really didn't!" Her please come at me nonstop until I raise a hand indicating she stop. I heal my nose quickly, and purse my lips, standing up.

"You did not know, how could you have, of course. But I do have some very, very good news. Remember Savannah?" I grin. She nods slightly.

"The traitor? The one who… Oh, no never mind. Oh, her. Yes, I remember her." She frowns.

"Lookit what I got from her." I smile and pull out the last ingredient. "And also the curse shielding gloves," I hold up my hands, "The invisibility cloak," I pull it out of my belt and wave it around me a few times, "The Any-Outfit Cloth," I change my outfit through a few thing quickly, "And the Metamorphmagus potion!" I hear her gasp, and I change into her, an identical copy. I then change back into myself, and pull up my robe to show my ankle. "And I have made my Mark. Alameda and Adora Malfoy were the first to receive the honor, and Draco got a copy of the dragon also. Al and Ad each got their own specific mark, which they can use to call me when they finish a mission or if they need me for a non-emergency reason, and they have a copy of the dragon for emergencies. That is what the Dragon Mark is for, emergencies. Would you like a Dragon?" I grin slightly. She looks unsure slightly, then nods, and grins insanely.

"Of course, Kali."

"You do realize when you get it I will become My Lady, though, correct?" I ask. She pauses, and nods again. I motion for her to move her robes, and I position my wand, and then it does the burning for a few seconds, and it is done. "OK, now you press it if you need me for an emergency. I will then come to you if I can, which I will most likely be able to. I will also be able to call you. I can choose whom I call through it, or I can call everyone. The dragon is for my most loyal followers, Bella. You are lucky indeed. Now, what would you like, and where, for your other mark?" I ask.

"Ahm, what, My Lady?" She asks, slipping into calling me 'My Lady', instead of Kali, rather easily.

"You choose what and where, it is less conspicuous that way." I frown.

"Well then, I want my name. Just Bella… on my right wrist." She frowned. (A/N: ARGH IT TOOK MY AND HOUR TO TRY TO DECIDE WHAT AND WHERE FOR HER!)

I took her wrist and put my wand to it, and watched as the name burned into it. "Now, that one is your specific mark, you press it if you finish a mission, although you prob- your mission will be to finish the thing for To- the Dark Lord, so press it when you finish that or if you need me to use the mirror." I say. She nods. "Now I should get back to the Malfoys Manor, they do not know I left." I smiled, turn, walk out the door, press something into my hand, and fade from sight as I walk away. I am so experienced, that the fade does not faze me, and I continue walking straight, appearing in front of their house, and I walk in. A house-elf is asleep in front of the fireplace. Hmm. They are not supposed to do that, and I know Lucious especially would beat any house-elf stupid enough to do something like that. I could always stand to get another house-elf ally, after all, they have some magic of their own… So I walk over to it, make sure no one is in here, and poke it. It- he, apparently,- jumps up. His eyes narrow, trying to figure out who I am. Then he recognizes me from somewhere and bows low frantically.

"Dobby is most sorry, mistress Kali! Dobby will be punishing his self most severely, just don't tell Master and Mistress Lucious and Narcissa, please, Dobby will iron his hands, just please don't tell!" By now the h- Dobby's standing up, frantically pleading, wringing his bandaged hands. I kneel down in front of him.

"Now, now Dobby. That will not be necessary. I do not want you to do that, but I will not tell. Do not do it again, of course." I try to look stern, but I seem to care more about house-elves then humans, and I feel sorry for him. I look around to make sure no one is looking, then conjure up a self heating rag, which is ugly and dirty enough to not be enough to free him, or look like much, but it will keep him warm so he will not have to risk sleeping in front of the fire place. "Take this. It will keep you warm. It looks like a rag, but it is really self heating." I smile gently.

"Oh, mistress Kali is too kind! Too kind to poor Dobby, Dobby did nothing to deserve this, Dobby didn't!" Dobby's eyes were wide.

"Oh, so you want to deserve it? How about you having to deal with the Malfoys every day? Trust me, I have seen what they do. And I don't do that. And you, I am sure, do everything you are asked. You are a slave. I do not really like slaves, but I have several house-elves. I do treat them well. But anyways. You know, I like you. Hmm… Well, you go do whatever it is you need to be doing right now. I will find you later to talk to you, you hear me?" I winked at him, and stood up and strode off to find the Malfoys. I changed the cloth to be a form fitting long flowy black dress, and walked into the ballroom, sitting on a conjured chair, and tapped my fingers on the rest for a few minutes. Then I had an idea- I pressed the dragon, concentrating on it going to Draco, Al, and Ad, and to their specific ones, save Draco's, whose went to his Dragon, although in a non-urgent manner. Within minutes, three tired looking children stood in front of me. "What? Sleeping still? For Merlin's sake, it is" I cast a time spell, then looked back up, not interrupting the flow of my speech for more then a split second, "12 o'clock!" They looked startled.

"Milady, we were not asleep, we were looking for you!" Draco said, and the other's nodded.

"You have already forgot about the Marks on your shoulders, Al, Ad? I know Draco could not use his, for it was not an emergency, but you guys could have used your Specific Marks." I rolled my eyes, then motioned for them to lead the way to their parents. Soon we had found them and they sighed with relief.

"Where were you?" Celeste demanded, and Cato put a hand on her shoulder to calm her slightly.

"One, you forgot to say 'My Lady', two, I do not have to tell the likes of you where I shall be every second, three, Al and Ad could have contacted me through their Specific marks, and four, I was doing something very important." I growled at Celeste. "You are lucky I am not punishing you for your insolence in defying me. Now, Lucious, Narcissa, I have something I would like to ask you. Everyone else, step outside." I motion, and wait for them to comply, then clasp my hands under my chin and begin to speak once more. "I saw your house-elf Dobby. I have taken a liking to him. I would appreciate you giving him to me."

"You are commanding me to give you my house-elf?" Lucious frowned.

"Not commanding, per se, I am asking a favor." I sigh, rolling my eyes.

"Well, see now, Kali-" Lucious begins, when Narcissa interrupts

"Of course, I will fetch him and transfer ownership. I will call you when it is done." She smiles gently. Well, that was easier then I expected.

I then go out, and find Al, Ad, and Draco waiting patiently by the door for me. I smile at them. "I just had an idea! Come with me, we have some things to discuss." We then go into my bedroom.

"Why are we here, Milady?" Draco asks.

"Well, the Dark Lord's followers were the Death Eaters- now what are you?" I ask.

"My Lady… maybe we could be called… Never mind, that wouldn't work, because of Draco." Al blushed.

"What were you going to say?" I asked curiously.

"Well, we call you My Lady- and that is what Princesses and Queens are called, and then there are the Court Ladies and such, so maybe we could have something along those lines?" Al asked, desperately wanting my approval.

"It is an interesting idea… and it would not seem to malevolent or anything, if I could get it right… Maybe the Dragon Kingdom? I could be the Dragon Queen, and you guys could be the… Senior Dragons! It is brilliant!" I said, my eyes shining madly.

"I love it, My Lady… But it would seem kind of odd, once we start doing whatever we shall be doing…" Ad says, crinkling her nose slightly.

"Milady, I would be honored to serve in whatever you choose." Draco said, bowing his head to me.

"And then the people who get their own mark but no Dragon Mark could be ahm… Junior Dragons! And the people who have no marks at all would be Lizards." I smirked. "I like this. I really do. Now, what is our mission? We need something. We can't do the kill off all muggles and mudbloods, which is the Dark Lord's territory. No. We need something our own. To ourselves. Pureblood supremacy is still top, of course, but what…"

"Milady, we could just start off as a following, and try to get power, not showing any real darkness or anything, get close to the ministry maybe, and you, Milady, you are very popular at school, I am sure you could become Minister or something, and then we could start leaning slightly more towards the dark, and we could meet every once in a while and do something… I don't know… I am sorry for bringing this up, it was stupid." Draco lowered his head.

"No, it was a good enough idea, Draco. We just need something better. Something…" I muttered, frustrated.

"My Lady, we could" And Narcissa walking in with Dobby interrupted Al.

"The transfer of ownership shall begin now, Kali." Narcissa nodded to me, and we walked out the door and into a small room. Narcissa pushed Dobby onto the floor, where he lay flat with his face even facing down, his nose smashed to the side. "And now, Dobby, I give control from the Manor to Kali, and your sole owner is her. She is your Mistress and you are to obey her. Got it?" She said as she aimed a kick at his ribs. A squeak was heard from Dobby, and Narcissa left me alone with him, I was supposed to talk about the rules and such.

"Told you I liked you." I winked at Dobby after I had picked him up and stood him. I sat down in an armchair I had just conjured, and I thought for a second then conjured a short stool for Dobby, and I motioned for him to sit down. His eyes got wide.

"Thank you, noble Mistress Kali! You are very kind!" He said, and then I motioned for him to sit down again, and his eyes filled with tears.

"Oh, dang it! What is wrong? I just freed you from them, even if I had to take you myself to do it, and I offer you a seat, and you are going to cry?" I spat. Crying is a weakness. I have that drilled into my brain.

"Oh, but noble Mistress Kali, Dobby is crying tears of joy, for Dobby already knew you were noble, but Dobby knew nothing of your kindness! Not once, not once has a wizard ever asked Dobby to sit down!" Dobby said as he sat down onto the stool, and though it was but a small, hard stool, he was in awe over it. He kept reaching down and touching it, as if to make sure it was real.

"Now. I have three rules. One, Treat everything and everyone with respect. You will worship the ground I walk on, two, Do not do anything, without express permission. The only things you can do are things necessary such as breathing, eating, drinking, sleeping, sitting and walking. You may not speak when I am speaking, but if no one is talking you may ask for permission. If others are talking, do not interrupt unless it is an extreme emergency, and three, you will do anything and everything I say." I say, and he nods eagerly. "Good, now I want you to follow me around today, maybe you can figure some of my personality, and you can know what to expect from me a little bit more. Oh, and come here." I say, and when he walks to me I wave my hand over him, therefore leaving him healed.

"Oh thank Mistress Kali, that feels amazing! Oh, Dobby cannot remember what it feels like before now! Mistress Kali is a most noble kind mistress!" Dobby beamed. I nodded and stood up to walk out of the room. Soon we were back in the room I had been in before, where Al, Ad, and Draco were waiting. I nodded and sat down in my seat once more.

"Milady, why is DOBBY behind you?" Draco asked, saying Dobby like one would talk about kneazle crap after they had stepped in it.

"Dobby is my new house elf. I received him as a favor from your mother. I do not like the way you guys treat them. He caught my eye." I said, jerking my head back to show I meant Dobby. "Now, we need to come up with what I should look like for my position as Dragon Queen." I smiled, and changed once to become a short yet slender blond haired girl with blue eyes, wearing a flowy deep blue robe. Everyone smiled and clapped politely. I changed into the next choice, a tall girl with long slender limbs and fingers, and a perfect shape, which had deep blue green eyes and curly black hair slightly like Bellatrix's. Everyone clapped a little more at this one. And then I turned into an average shaped woman, except with a strange beauty- blazing red hair that twisted every which way, reminding you of fire, deep green eyes that look like the color of Dragon eyes, and an outfit that looked stunning, a blazing red sheer yet opaque robe and under that, a dress which changed colors to like flickering flames. Everyone's eyes grew wide and it was clear this was the choice. "Ok, so I look like this. Dragon Queen. Hmmm. Draco, you know occulemency correct?" I said, and Draco nodded. I was surprised until I remembered having began to teach it to him several years ago- he must have practiced. I rewarded him with one of my rarer smiles, a smile that could fill anyone with warmth even in Azkaban. "Now, I think I will give all of you, as members of my Inner Circle, Senior Dragons, some of the Metamorphmagus potion. So, step right up into a line." I said, and when they did, I gave each of them a tad bit of it. Soon they could change into anything with ease. And we sat down to decide each of theirs. Al's wound up being a young lady with deep brown eyes and auburn hair, Ad looked identical, save for the eyes which she made have green undertones, and Draco looked like an older version of himself with black hair. They would all be wearing regular robes when they met me. "Perfect!" I said, and we all changed into ourselves again. "Now, never ever change except for going to a meeting." And everyone nodded. "And what are we going to do? We never did get to figure that out…"

"You know, I do like Draco's idea, My Lady…" Al smiled. And so that was to be it. We would have meetings every once in a while, and discuss things, ransacking some random person's house and using the Cruciatus curse on anyone they see, then leaving, whilst in the real world, acting like innocent children. I just hoped no one would think to use the Cruciatus curse on my Dragons… I could handle it, I know that. But why would they anyway? No reason to suspect anything would be given. And we would rise up, and once we had taken over the Ministry- we would reveal ourselves as the Dragons. And we would kill anyone who dared work against the cause. And so, we went to sleep that night, and had a wonderful Christmas.
