Unexpected Changes

CHAPTER TEN

“While you are working on this I have to go and see my godfather and go speak with my cousins.” Draco told Kalista when they returned to the Slytherin dorms later that evening.

“Alright, I need to talk to Krista so that seems to work out just fine.” Kalista said as she stood on her tiptoes to give Draco a peck on the lip.

“See you in the morning?”

“Before or after you get ready for practice?”

“After.”

“Great!  Gives me time to sleep.” Kalista said smiling brightly at him making him chuckle.

“See you then love.” Draco said pulling her close and giving her a kiss that left her breathless before he walked away smirking at her.  

When Draco reached his Godfathers office he lightly knocked and waited for him to be told he could enter.

“You may enter Draconis.” His godfather said from the other side of the door.  He often wondered how it is he knew it was him.

“Good Evening Uncle Severus.” Draco said upon entering the room.

“Good Evening Draco.  What is it that I can do for you this evening?”

“I was wondering if you could tell me why Potter hasn’t been seen around the school.”

“Harry and Hermione have decided to further their education outside of Hogwarts.”

“Is that so?  Where are they staying then?”

“To Dumbledore they told him Spinner’s End with Remus and the kids but, they are really staying elsewhere.  Where they are Draco I can not tell you, and it isn't because I don't trust you but because I am sworn to secrecy.  But I am anxious to know why are so curious about Potter’s well being.” Severus asked him raising an eye brow at him.

“To be honest with you Uncle, I was a bit concerned considering the last I really saw of Potter he was having one of his episodes that left him nearly paralyzed with fear.”

“Harry has a lot of demons he has to face but hopefully now he has found the outlet he needed to finally put them all behind him.” Severus stated in a matter that somewhat left Draco curious as to what that outlet may be but he knew better than to ask.

“Not that I like Potter very much, Hogwarts will be a little dull without him here.”

“Indeed it will.” Severus said with a slight smile before he spoke again.  “But from what I hear you have found a way to keep yourself quite entertained with the daughter of a late friend of mine.”

“You know Kalista and Krista?”

“Very well.  I was good friends with Kalista mother before she was killed.  I have had them over a  couple of times Benji absolutely adores Kalista.  She dotes on him quite often.  The child is going to be beyond spoiled.”

“Have I ever met them before, they seem somewhat familiar to me.”

“You might have I can not be entirely to sure.”

“This girl is special Severus.  I think she is it for me.” Draco said with a wistful look in his eye and a smile on his lips.  “She’s just perfect for me.”

“You be careful with her Draco.  She is very dear to me, more than you may ever know.  If you hurt her I may not exactly kill you because you are my godson but I will make you live to regret it.  Are we understood?”

“Crystal Uncle Severus.  Besides I may gladly offer myself up on a silver patter if I do something to harm in anyway.”

“Good to know.  And also Draco, Kalista and Krista have some secrets of their own, some I am sure that they will never wish to tell you.  But if you should find out some of their secrets just please hear them out.  Those girls have been through enough they don't need you to make it worse for them.”

“I will be sure to keep that in mind Uncle Severus.”  Draco said as he stood to leave

“I hope you do Draconis.”

“I do not like this Fawkes.” Dumbledore said to the phoenix as he set in his office.  “I need that boy to return to Hogwarts, I have much work that needs to be done and he is the ticket to getting it done.” Dumbledore said rambling on as he took a drink of his fire whiskey.  He was somewhat drunk, which for a headmaster was a big no-no but Albus Dumbledore is above the law, isn't he?

“And those two girls,” he continued drunkenly.  “Those Ravens,” He said completely messing up their names “There is something about them that just seem off.  And they are a bit to happy to be in Slytherin, must come from some dark families.  I have a lot of work to do between getting Harry back and learning about these mystery sisters and also making sure the Tournament goes the way I want so our world will never have to deal with the evil that is Slytherin again!” Dumbledore said before he past out in his chair.
