Okay next chapter, time to go to Hogwarts. Time for the real story to begin.
Broken Angel
Chapter 8: Hogwarts
"I swear I will find you Remus!" Riley shouted angrily as she hunted for her guardian and companion.
She had been complaining about people mistaking her for a boy for a couple of days now, first the Minister and Umbridge, then the guy in the Animagus registration office. Riley was seriously getting annoyed, and then Remus had the balls to tell her about a potion that she could take to have her hair grow back. That fucking Marauder would pay when she found him.
So, Riley went out into Diagon Alley to buy the necessary potion. It didn't take long before she found it and returned to the Leaky Cauldron.
The following day she awoke with her hair down to her shoulders and she could live with that, as at the very least, people wouldn't mistake her for a boy any longer, and then she proceeded to hunt down Remus. After turning him purple, the two proceeded to begin their lessons for the day. Remus was reteaching all of the first-year spells to her, so she could learn the wand movements. As expected, she was a natural.
She would have to learn on her own how to use the staff form since Remus didn't know how, so she was stuck with learning wand waving for now.
The couple of days leading up to the start of school flew by, and Riley couldn't be more excited. Madara had her memorize the names of noble families around Britain, he told her it would be a good idea to try and ally with a few of these families. Ones that had a lot of influence, like the Malfoy's, or a lot of money like the Greengrass family. He told her to make friends, but also to not shy away from at least connecting with certain specific people.
Finally, the day came and her and Remus were making their way to the train station.
"Remember what I told you. Have fun, but don't forget your lessons. You're a prodigy, so I expect O's in all of your work, no laziness alright? Even if it is boring." Remus told her.
"Yeah yeah... I'll keep my grades up." Riley replied rolling her eyes at him, an excited grin plastered on her face the whole time.
'Also remember to keep an eye out for potential allies. Remember the list of noble families I had you memorize. Keep that in mind, and make a few allies, it will make elevating your house much easier in the future.' Madara reminded her.
'Got it.' Riley replied as she and Remus arrived at the station.
"Alright, let's go." Remus told Riley as the two walked through the wall that led to the station.
All of Riley's things had been placed in her trunk which had then been shrunk down, to make it easy to deal with.
The two passed through and came upon the sight of quite a few families saying their goodbyes to their children and having them board the Hogwarts Express.
"Alright... you go have fun... and remember to write, I'll see you around the holidays." Remus told her as he hugged the girl.
"I'll miss you Remus. Tell Moony to be good while I'm gone." Riley said as she pulled away from the man.
"You be good too. I don't want any letters about fighting." Remus warned her.
"Hey... I would never fight any of these kids." Riley replied looking insulted.
Remus just gave her a look, waiting for her follow-up statement.
"Now dancing... is another story." Riley stated with a cheeky grin, earning a chuckle from her grandfather.
"Go on brat." Remus shooed her off.
"Bye." Riley said with a wave as she boarded the train.
All Remus could do was smile and hope she didn't get into too much trouble in her first year.
A few moments later Riley found an empty compartment and sat down. She pulled out one of her books on charms, she was about a week away from finishing with all the first-year spells and was ready to move on to the second-year ones. Riley of course already knew all the spells, just not how to cast them with a wand, which was much less draining on her core. She could cast a few spells with her wand, mostly first year stuff but she also learned ones like the summoning charm, and her current favorite, Reducto.
She heard the door open and saw a blonde-haired boy appear through it.
"Oh, I didn't think anyone was in here." The boy stated. Riley barely glanced up from her book to acknowledge him.
"Greetings." She muttered, still focused on her book.
The boy gave her a curious look, taking note of her accent, and of her appearance, she didn't look like she was a local.
"Hello... my name's Draco Malfoy." The boy stated proudly as he stuck his hand out. Riley closed her book and glanced up at him. He had bright blonde hair and a refined air about him. She could tell immediately that he was high born, and that name 'Malfoy', it was the name of one of the old families that held standing in Britain.
Smiling, she stood and shook his hand,
"Riley... Riley Uchiwa Slytherin. Nice to meet you." Riley stated with a smirk, as the boy's mouth fell open.
"You... did you say Slytherin?" Draco asked. Earning a nod he continued, "Like as in Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts?"
Earning another nod, Draco could only gape, his father had told him to keep an eye out for the Slytherin lord and do everything in his power to befriend them. With his luck it just so happened to be the first girl he bumped into on the train.
"Wow... I can't believe you're actually related to Salazar Slytherin." Draco said with awe as he sat down, across from her.
"I'm not related to Salazar... I just killed the last guy who was." Riley stated with a devilish smirk, causing Draco's eyes to widen in fear.
It took a few minutes but eventually Draco settled down and was able to have a calm conversation with Riley. He was actually descent company, so Riley didn't have any complaints.
"Excuse me?" A female voice said. Riley and Draco glanced over to see a bushy haired girl standing at the door with a pudgy boy.
"This is Neville Longbottom, he's lost his toad, have you seen it?" The girl asked.
"No, I haven't." Draco replied, eying the two curiously.
"Hm... maybe I can help." Riley stated as she pulled out her shrunken staff.
"Accio Neville Longbottom's toad." Riley stated, after a moment a toad floated in from the hallway and landed in Riley's open hand.
"Trevor!" Neville stated happily as he grabbed the toad.
"Wow... that was amazing." The girl stated with a look of awe on her face.
"Really? It was just the summoning charm. Not really anything overly advanced." Riley replied giving Draco a look.
"Still, I don't know it. That's a fourth-year spell." Draco told her. Riley winced when she recalled just how far ahead, she was.
'Still, you used the summoning charm with your wand... that's good.' Madara commented, causing Riley to mentally nod in agreement.
"Which book is that? I've already read all of the schoolbooks for first year. I can't wait to practice magic. I'm sorry, I didn't get your names." The girl spoke quickly, she was obviously excited.
"Second year Charms book, good to hear, it's good to be excited, and Riley Uchiwa Slytherin, and Draco Malfoy." Riley replied to all of her statements.
"Slytherin like as in Salazar Slytherin?" Neville asked nervously.
"Yes... I won the title through right of conquest. I have no relation to the man... at least as far as I know." Riley replied.
"Right of Conquest? What does that mean?" The girl whose name Riley hadn't gotten yet, asked.
"It means I killed the last guy to hold the title." Riley replied.
"You killed someone?" The girl stated looking horrified.
"I was really little, and it was accidental magic. The guy tried to kill me... he got killed instead, now I'm the head of Slytherin house... what's there to say?" Riley answered like it was no big deal. The bushy haired girl seemed to relax at that. Knowing that it was self-defense and an accident made it a lot easier to deal with.
"Who was the last Lord of Slytherin house?" The girl asked after a moment.
"No clue." Riley lied with a shrug. She knew the only person it could have been was Voldemort.
"I haven't heard of any Lord of Slytherin house either. Must have been someone who didn't know of his heritage." Draco guessed, earning nods from Hermione and Neville.
"I don't think I got your name miss?" Riley inquired after a moment.
"Oh... sorry, I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger." The now identified Hermione replied.
"Granger? I've never heard that name before. Are you a pureblood?" Draco asked.
"Actually, I'm the first witch in my family. My parents are really proud of me." The girl replied with a smile.
Draco looked like he was about to say something but a glare from Riley coupled with a wandless silencing charm, stopped him. Draco looked surprised when what he intended to say came out as nothing.
"What house do you two plan on being in?" Riley asked as she removed the silencing charm from Draco, who saw the motion and realized she had been the one to do it.
"Hm... I'm not sure... I've read all about them. I think either Slytherin or Ravenclaw would be my best bet." Hermione replied.
"I would like to end up in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. I don't have the brains or cunning for Slytherin or Ravenclaw." Neville replied nervously.
"Never doubt who you can be one day Neville. We all start out as saplings, and we all have the capability of growing into something mighty." Riley stated sagely.
'That was one of Hashirama's lines.' Madara commented.
'Hey it fit. So, I used it.' Riley replied, causing Madara to chuckle.
"I'm definitely going to be in Slytherin. All of my family has been there." Draco finally stated sounding very proud of himself.
"Ravenclaw or Slytherin for me. I'm not brash enough for Gryffindor, and I don't trust enough to be a puff." Riley replied.
"Well, I hope we end up in the same house. Come on Neville, let's get back to the others." Hermione stated as she and Neville left the compartment.
"You know she's a filthy mudblood right?" Draco asked after the door was closed.
"Two things Draco... one never doubt a person's position in life. She may be low born, but you could have just been speaking to the first muggleborn Minister of Magic. And secondly never use that derogatory term in my presence again, or I'll shove your wand up your pee hole." Riley replied in such a kind voice, that Draco was instantly horrified. She'd only been in Britain for a couple of weeks, and she had already heard that word enough times to make her want to gag. She had no problem with cursing but there were some things you just don't call people.
"Why would you defend someone like her?" Draco asked, trying not to sound like he was scared shitless, and failing spectacularly.
"Because... you never know when you may need a friend like her. Just because she's low born doesn't mean she is completely useless. A friend like her could be valuable in the future... think about it, let's say she does become the next minister of magic, would you want to be one of the fools who stood in her way, and now she is higher than you on the totem pole? Or would you like to be able to call her friend, and with that friendship garner some benefits for House Malfoy? Hell think about it like this, let's say she opens a bookstore... you need some information, and suddenly you have a cheaper access to it, simply because she's a friend and maybe will offer you a discount or help you find the info you're looking for. Or say a political opponent is trying to research ways of beating you. You can ask her to keep an ear open for anyone inquiring about texts that may benefit in this regard, so that you can be prepared." Riley explained. Draco stared at her for a moment before realization dawned in his eyes.
"You never know who someone will be. Are there people you can hate, because they are terrible... yes. Should you hate someone without knowing anything about them other than their heritage? No. Plus the girl, just said she's already read all of the first-year textbooks... have you?" Riley asked him.
Draco shook his head in the negative.
"Well then... there's a good reason to have her as a friend. She obviously likes to read, so she's probably very knowledgeable. Say you need some info, but don't have the time to go searching for a book, you could just ask her, and if she's a friend, then if she doesn't know, she'll actually help you find the answer. My point is... it's good to have friends in all sorts of places." Riley explained to the young Malfoy heir.
"So... what should I do? My father hasn't always spoken very highly of muggles, and mud... I mean muggleborns?" Draco asked after a moment.
"Well between you and me... I don't like muggles very much either... where I come from, we simply called them civilians, they were power hungry dicks, who liked to get off by hurting people weaker than them. And when they couldn't anymore, they would starve them, or tear them down verbally. I hold no love for muggles, muggleborn on the other hand... well in their case I'll make an exception." Riley explained.
Draco stared at her for a moment, he may have been a little full of himself, but he was by no means a fool, he could tell she was either referring to herself or someone close to her. For some reason, feeling the anger, and sadness that was now rolling off of Riley, made him hate muggles even more.
"Why?" Draco finally asked.
"A man who is like a brother to me, is technically a halfblood. His father was magical, but his mother was not. This man helped take care of me. He was one of the closest things I had to family." Riley answered, smiling fondly as she thought of Kakashi.
"Why do you hate muggles, and muggleborn Draco?" Riley finally asked after a moment.
"My father says that they are destroying our world. He says that they just barge in and think they know everything, they try to change things without learning even an ounce of our history." Draco answered.
"That is a good reason to hate them. But remember... if all you do is hate them, then how will they ever learn? It's alright to hate the ones who are actively attacking your culture, but most of the muggleborns are ignorant of how things work here. If they learned more about wizarding culture before being brought here, then maybe they would adapt better to our way of living rather than trying to force us to adapt to theirs?" Riley stated, thinking deeply about this topic.
"So... what do you think I should do about someone like that Granger girl?" Draco asked after a moment.
"Show her our world. All she knows of magic is what she has read. So, show her, guide her, and befriend her. Help her accomplish her dreams, and maybe... she'll do the same. You don't have to like the muggleborn Draco... but at least offer them the basic respect that every human being deserves... at least until they do something to lose it. Because you never know, one day that bushy haired girl could be something amazing, would you rather be the asshole who bullied her, or the one she called friend? Everyone has worth... you just have to be willing to see it." Riley replied sounding so mature and grown up.
'Wow.' She heard Madara mutter.
'What?' Riley asked him.
'Nothing, it's just... you reminded me so much of Hashirama there, for a moment.' Madara stated sounding very nostalgic.
'Oh um... cool?' Riley replied sounding a little uncertain, before shaking off the feeling.
"Hm... you know... you're really wise." Draco commented.
"Thanks... I had good teachers." Riley replied with a smile.
"So, I'm guessing the same goes for Longbottom?" Draco asked after a moment, referring to Neville being from a 'light' family which Riley picked up on.
"In his case think about it like this Draco, the Longbottom's are a powerful light family, they are only 'light' because they choose to be, not due to any force of nature that makes them so. So basically, the Longbottom's are only of the light, as long as they choose to be, but what happens when they don't? You never know which way Neville will go, or how far he'll lean in either direction. Befriend him, and you'll have a powerful ally, that is all that matters. If it makes it easier Draco, don't think about sides, like Pureblood, or dark families, think of house Malfoy. What can being friends with the heir of the Longbottom family do for house Malfoy?" Riley answered after a moment of thought.
"I think I understand. Any friend is a benefit, it doesn't matter if they're highborn or lowborn." Draco commented.
"Pretty much." Riley agreed.
"Hm... you've given me a lot to think about. I'm going to go for a walk, think about some things." Draco told her as he got up and left, obviously deep in thought.
Riley simply smiled to herself and went back to reading. Draco returned a little later, though he was obviously still too deep in thought to make descent conversation.
They rode in relative silence for a little while before the door to their compartment opened and three girls and three boys came in.
"Hey Draco... where have you been? We've been waiting for you." A girl with short dark hair, stated as she sat next to him.
"Oh... sorry, I just got sidetracked talking to my new friend here." Draco commented gesturing to Riley.
All six of the children looked at her curiously for a few moments sizing her up.
"Riley, this is Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Nott, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Tracy Davis, and Daphne Greengrass." Draco introduced all of his friends to her.
"Guys this is Riley Uchiwa Slytherin." Draco introduced her, causing all of his friends to go wide eyed as they had all been told about the Slytherin lord in one capacity or another.
Riley scanned the group, Pansy was a short, dark-haired girls, with slightly larger eyes. Theodore, looked to be a pretty boy, though he was also quite scrawny, he also had dark hair and eyes. Crabbe was a pudgy boy with dark hair, he looked quite brutish. Goyle was the tallest of the group, he had long legs, and arms, and tiny little eyes, and his hair was short. Tracy was a dark-haired girl, whom had large greenish eyes, she was very good looking for still being so young. Daphne, was blonde of hair, with eyes as cold as ice, she was on the taller side, and thin, her face was a well-schooled mask of indifference, but Riley could see the curiosity in the girl's eyes.
"Nice to meet all of you." Riley said with a smile, and from there the barrage of questions began, from Draco's friends. Riley told them how she got the title, and then remained vague about anything personal. It wasn't long before they arrived at Hogwarts.
They all already had on their robes, so all they had to do was grab their stuff and leave, Riley followed the other kids back to their compartment so they could grab their trunks, taking pity on the poor souls, she waved her wand and shrunk all of their trunks. They all gaped at her, while Draco couldn't help but snicker, he was quickly realizing that his new pal was probably the most advanced student in their year.
After getting over their surprise the others thanked her, pocketed their trunks and they all left the train.
Riley glanced around the area; she could see that they were in a wooded area and standing nearby were a bunch of carriages with dark boney winged horses at the front. Riley recognized them as Thestral, she guessed since no one else took notice of them, that the part about them only being seen by those that had seen death was true.
"Firs years over 'ere!" A very tall and burly looking man called them over. Riley guessed as she and the others approached the tall man, that he must have been some sort of half giant or something since he was easily two times her height.
"Alright four to a boat. Come on ye youngsters." The Large man stated as he ushered them all into row boats. Riley sat with Draco, Daphne and Tracey in their boat, and was only mildly surprised when it started to move by magic, across the water.
A few moments passed by before the children came upon an amazing site. Riley could hear the gasps of awe, as she gained her first true glimpse of Hogwarts, and she had to admit, it didn't disappoint. The castle was beautiful, Riley loved the look of it. She was sure that exploring the great castle would prove to be an interesting adventure.
'Quite the view, isn't it?' Madara commented
'Indeed.' Riley replied with awe.
A couple more moments passed before they pulled into dock.
"Alright you firs' years can leave yer trunks 'ere, they'll be brought to yer rooms after the sortin'." The large man told them all.
Riley and the others were led into a side room, just off what Riley assumed was the great hall, the large man told them to wait there and then promptly left.
"What do you think the sorting will be like?" Riley heard someone ask.
"My sister told me that I'd have to fight a troll." Another responded causing some children to shutter or gasp in fear.
"Great now this sorting is going to be anti-climactic as hell." Riley muttered.
"Would you look what we have here?" Riley heard someone say. She turned and her eyes widened slightly at the sight of two ghosts floating into the room. Riley heard some of the children gasp in surprise or fright at the sight of the two.
"Hm... seems they're here to be sorted." The other ghost commented.
"Yes... well. I wish you all luck. You'll need it." The first ghost joked as the two laughed and floated away.
"Children." A female voice addressed them.
Riley glanced over and spotted a taller, older looking woman, wearing long black robes, and a tall pointy hat. She had a stern look about her, and very sharp eyes. She got them into alphabetical order and then beckoned them all to follow her and led them into the main hall.
Riley couldn't help but smile at the sight, the room was beautiful, and full of life. Four flags hung over four tables where all the older students watched them enter.
The older woman then sat out a stool and a pointy hat. A moment of silence passed before the hat began to sing.
Riley and the others all clapped, and then the old woman began to call them up one at a time to be sorted.
Riley spaced out as all of the kids were sorted. Hermione got placed in Ravenclaw. Neville into Hufflepuff. Draco and all of his friends were placed into Slytherin, most of the rest of the children were split amongst the houses. Finally, McGonagall called her name.
"Riley Uchiwa Slytherin!" McGonagall called out. Riley immediately noticed Dumbledore sitting at the head table, she stepped forward and saw the old man smile, Riley was sure he'd recognized who she was, as they had met in the past.
Most of the students were surprised by her name, the students in the other houses were trying to pick their jaws up off the floor, and all of the Slytherin's were grinning widely.
Riley also noticed just before she sat down, that two of the teachers were eying her particularly. One wore a turban around his head and seemed slightly afraid of her, before schooling his expression into neutral curiosity. The other was a greasy looking dark-haired man, who was analyzing her intently.
Riley sat down and the hat was placed on her head.
'Hm... well this is interesting. Do you know that there is a man and a giant fox living in here?' Riley heard a voice in her head.
'Yep.' Riley replied with a smile.
'Who might you be good sir?' She heard the hat ask.
'You may call me Madara, hat. Please get this done with, it's annoying enough dealing with the snoring fox every damn day, I don't need to deal with a talking hat on top of that.' Madara replied sounding annoyed.
'Yes yes... well, let's get this done, shall we? Now where to put you Lady Uchiwa Slytherin?' The hat mused.
'Hm... you make friends fast and are charismatic, you'd do well in Hufflepuff. However, you don't trust easily, and you have a bit too much violence in your heart for me to feel right putting you there.' Riley heard the hat say, as a list of the four houses appeared in her mind, and Hufflepuff was crossed out.
'You are incredibly brave, and noble, but also selfish in some cases. You're not above helping the innocent in their time of need, but you also aren't above using others to achieve your goals. I also sense that you want as little to do with your mother as possible, so Gryffindor is out.' Another name checked off.
'You are wise enough for Ravenclaw, and your thirst for knowledge surpasses Rowina herself. But your analytical mind and desire to use such knowledge for your own ends, doesn't fit in line with your ancestor's ideals. Slytherin house seems like the best fit, you are both wise and cunning. You have plans for the future and are prepared to do all that you have too to reach them... I think I know exactly where to put you...' The Hat finished saying before shouting "SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherin students burst into cheering as Riley hopped from her seat and went to sit next to Draco who wore a happy smile and patted her on the back.
After a few moments they finished sorting the rest of the kids, afterwards Dumbledore stood, said something nonsensical, and suddenly there was food in front of them.
Riley was quick to nab some chow, she wasn't a voracious eater or anything, though she did eat a lot more then you'd expect a girl like her to, she had a very high metabolism, and with her workout regimen she needed a lot of energy.
"Hey! Do yourself a favor and don't look at the Gryffindor table." She heard a student mutter. Curiosity getting the better of her, Riley glanced up to see a carrot topped boy, shoveling food into his mouth like this was the first time he had ever tasted food. It took a moment of watching the boy miss his face about a dozen times before Riley lost her appetite and pushed her plate away.
"Who the hell is that kid over there that's eating like he's trying to win a contest?" Riley asked Draco.
"That's a Weasely. They were once a family of highborn purebloods, but they bankrupted themselves, and ended up earning the title of blood traitors. They are nobodies." Draco told her, matter of factually before adding, "You're not going to try and befriend them too, are you?"
"Well... not him at least. He managed to kill my appetite. I didn't think that was possible cuz I'll eat anything." Riley replied.
Draco glanced over at the Weasely boy and adopted a look of disgust before nodding in agreement with her.
A few more minutes went by before dinner finished, all of the plates quickly vanished, and Dumbledore stood for another announcement.
"Now that we are all fed and watered, I have a few state of the term announcements. First, for the first years, as well as everyone, the Forbidden Forest is still forbidden. Also, our caretaker mister Filch would like to remind all of you that the third-floor corridor is off limits to any and all whom do not wish to die a most painful death. With all that said, I hope you all have a wonderful year. Prefects, please lead your houses to where they will be staying." Dumbledore finished with a smile.
The Slytherin house prefects quickly led the students to the dungeons. They showed them how to enter their common room and showed them where they would be staying. When they were finished, their head of house stopped by for an announcement. Turns out it was the greasy dark-haired man from earlier.
"My name is Professor Severus Snape. I am the potions professor here at Hogwarts as well as your Head of house. If you have any issues bring them to me. Now to all those who are new here, know this. No matter what problems you may have with your fellow Slytherin, you are to keep them in the common room. Out there the other students see you as dark, and evil. They will use that fear against you, and you will be forced to endure. As house Slytherin we stand as one, we are united. We have won the house cup the last three years and I expect another victory this year. With that said... my door is always open. Now, time for lights out." Snape finished. He had given each one of the first years a pointed look, lingering slightly longer on Riley, before leaving, cloak billowing behind him dramatically.
A moment of silence passed after Snape left. Before one of the seventh year Slytherin stepped forward and addressed the first years.
"Alright firsties listen up. There are some rules you need to learn before settling in here. First and foremost, out there we are a united front. In here however... we're in charge." The boy stated as he gestured to his fellow seventh years.
"If we tell you to do something... then you do it. You don't ask why; you just do it. If you don't? Well... it's tough in Slytherin house. Boys need to learn just what needs doing in order to make it here. So do the girls." The boy continued adding in a very predatory grin at the end of the statement causing a few of the girls like Pansy and Tracy to shrink in fear. Even Daphne looked a little nervous, though she kept her face pretty well schooled.
"So... do what we say... and everything will be good. Understand?" He asked with a grin. Causing Crabbe to nod fearfully.
"Understand?" he asked Tracey his gaze scanning her, causing her to shrink more in fear. She quickly nodded so he would move on.
"Understand?" He asked Riley who gave him a bored look.
Riley looked over at Draco. "You said something about Snape being your godfather back on the train, right?"
"Yep." Draco replied.
"You think he knows about this?" Riley asked as an evil smirk appeared on her face.
"Nope... though, my father is going to hear about this anyway. He's on the board of governors that runs this school." Draco replied with a smirk of his own.
"You gonna try something 'Lady Slytherin'? Go ahead, try to tell Snape... it's not like he'll be able to protect you all the time." The boy threatened with a grin.
"Oh, I wasn't going to tell him. I just wanted to know if I had to kick his ass on top of yours. I'm glad that it's just you for tonight." Riley replied still smirking.
"Come on then! Let me see a wand." The older boy goaded her, as he pulled out his wand earning a gasp from the younger members of the crowd.
"Didn't think that we'd be doing a firstie this early." She heard a boy whisper into another boy's ear, from across the room.
"Ha... loser, I don't need a wand. I was gonna do this later, but if you want me to show you who you're messing with, I'll be more than happy to get this out of the way now." Riley stated, a devilish grin spreading across her face.
"Let's see a wand girlie." The boy goaded as he took a step back. As he did, so did all of the other first years.
"My friend... you are about ten thousand years too early to be fighting me." Riley stated as she cracked her neck.
"Come on... let's see what you've got." The Boy chided with a cocky grin on his face, and a bit of disgusting lust in his eyes.
"Are you asking for a duel?" Riley asked innocently.
"Sure thing, call it whatever you want." The boy replied with a perverted grin.
"Hey Draco... you remember what I told you would happen if you used the M word?" Riley asked with a grand smile on her face.
"Yeah?" Draco replied suddenly looking a little worried.
"Well. This is so that you and everyone else knows that I don't take bullying... or threats of rape, lightly." She stated with a smile. Suddenly she released her killing intent on the seventh year. He immediately soiled himself and stumbled back. All of the students were surprised to see, what had been the ruler of Slytherin house for two years, suddenly just defecate himself like that. And the girl hadn't even drawn a wand.
The boy was staring at her, horror etched in every one of his features. He was trembling and rambling incoherently, almost as if he was trying to beg for his life. In an instant, Riley made her move.
She moved so fast all of the students thought that she had just disappeared. When she reappeared the seventh year let out an ear-splitting scream.
All of the students looked at him and saw that his wand had been ripped from his hand and was now sticking out of his groin. Blood quickly began to soak the front of his robes and run down to the floor.
All of the younger kids squealed in disgust while the older kids cringed in pain and turned away.
The boy screamed in agony for a few more seconds his eyes staring down at the wand that had been impaled through his penis. After a few moments he sputtered something nonsensical, before falling to the floor, and passing out.
"You bitch." The boy who had whispered of raping her, shouted as he pulled out his wand. Sensing the danger, Riley rolled out of the way, dodging whatever spell he'd thrown at her. Riley's eyes than snapped over to him, and she let out an animalistic snarl and let loose a wandless Diffindo. The spell shot across the room and struck the boy in his wand hand, cutting it off in a spray of blood.
The boy stared at his missing hand, his mouth agape as blood began to squirt out of the exposed veins. After a few seconds he let out a scream of pain and fell to his knees.
"Hey Draco... what is the sentence for attacking an unarmed lord of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House? Also, anyone contest that I won the duel between me and dick-wand over there?" Riley asked as she glared hatefully at the Seventh year that had tried to attack her from behind.
"It's a life sentence for an adult to attack the head of a Most Ancient and Most Noble house." Draco replied, taking in the bloody sight with awe, fear, and morbid fascination.
Many of the surrounding kids had shielded their eyes from the sight, but some of the older ones, especially those that had been tormented by these two, stared on with righteous fury, burning in their eyes.
"What duel are you talking about?" One of the seventh years asked, as he glanced at his unconscious and wounded friends.
"He told me to draw a wand. He also drew his. That is more than enough to initiate a duel, correct? Plus, I asked him, he said yes so it counts. I won, he lost, now I get to do whatever I want with him." Riley asked/stated. As he was technically an adult due to passing his OWLs, and she was an emancipated lord, his challenge basically amounted to an official duel.
The older kid could only stutter in reply, but Riley earned a nod from a few of the other students.
"Good... will one of the prefects go and get Professor Snape? I'm sure he would like to know that two of his students will be leaving us. And someone should really help him before he bleeds to death." Riley instructed, one of the prefects quickly nodded and shot out of the common room.
"What do you mean leaving?" One of the Fifth-year girls asked, Riley could see a bit of hope in her eyes, Riley guessed that it must have been tradition for Sixth and Seventh years to gang up on the younger kids and bully them.
"Well Dick-wand lost the very short duel we had so I'm going to have him kicked out of this school. While the one who drew a wand on me while my back was turned is going to Azkaban." Riley replied.
The younger students all cheered for Riley's victory, and the bully's defeat, especially the second years who had already dealt with these particular monsters the year prior.
Riley then flared a fraction of her chakra causing a dark blue aura of magic to flow around her body, this went on for a moment before dying down. Her actions had earned the uninterrupted attention of everyone in the room.
Riley then smiled and said in the sweetest voice possible, "Now... is there any other rules I should know about?"
As she said that the older students suddenly realized that this little girl wasn't a person to mess with, and as Snape and the prefect entered the room, all of the Slytherins present, had the same thought.
Old traditions were dead. There was a new Queen of Slytherin house.
