Dangerous Liasons

Chapter 1: The Time Has Come

“Lucius, wake up.” Severus Snape said as he shook Lucius Malfoy’s shoulders.
“Don’t want to.” Lucius said as he swatted away Severus’ hands that were shaking him awake.

Draco who was standing by the door conjured up a bucket of icy water and dumped it onto his father. They have been trying to wake him up for 15 minutes literally and he was running out of patience. Lucius sat up at once when the water hit him full force.

“Why you little brat!” Lucius exclaimed
“Lucius!” Severus said again
“Why did the 2 of you wake me up in the middle of the night?” Lucius said casting a drying spell on him and his bed.
“Because Aria is at Hogwarts,” Draco explained. “The dark lord attacked Selen glades.”
“How is she?” Lucius said worriedly standing up from his bed and walking into his closet to get dressed.
“She and her friends managed to fend of the dark lord and some of the death eaters from the elven kingdom that you rule.” Severus said. “But she suffered from several cutting curses and Cruciatus curses thrown her way.”
“It was mother who did it, father.” Draco said with a sad tone. “She carved her name on Aria’s arm.”
“Can I see her?” Lucius said “Her and her friends seer power they will be the next target of the dark Lord’s greed for power.”
“Yes let’s go.” Severus said “Your daughter needs you right now.”

Lucius arrived with Severus and Draco a few minutes later. Lucius gave Kirin no Yuda and Houo no Ruka a nod as they sat by Aria. Aria was given the name Chimera no Aria. She had below the shoulders metallic blue gray hair, expressive metallic purple eyes with long lashes, lithe frame, fair complexion, and 5’8” tall. Professor Dumbledor gave Lucius a sad look when he leaned beside the bed of his daughter.

“Ruka, Yuda, call the others and take your things.” Lucius ordered “You and the rest will stay at Hogwarts.”
“Yes, my lord.” Yuda and Ruka said in unison.
“Headmaster it is time that I pledge my alliance to you and side of the light.” Lucius said looking straight into the head masters eyes. “But you will need to protect Draco and Aria though.”
“Yes I accept.” The head master said. “They will get sorted when arrive, you can be the new defense against the dark arts teacher.”
“Ok.” Lucius said “I will tell the dark lord that I have accepted the position to keep a closer eye on the Potter boy.”
“Do you think it’s wise, father?” Aria said in a soft voice as she gripped her father’s hand. “He might punish you?”
“No he will not.” Lucius said smiling at his daughter. “He will welcome a chance to get to know how the boy is progressing.”
“Is it not too dangerous to be that close to your mate father?” Aria said with a smile.
“What?” Professor Dumbledor, Severus, and Draco exclaimed in unison.
“And how did you know that my precious princess?” Lucius asked smiling at his daughter. “Are you a seer?”
“You forget I have Ruka by my side.” Aria said “He suddenly came and helped us, Ruka saw this when he touched Harry.”
“That brat of a boy is trying to get himself killed!” Severus bellowed. “Potter!”
“Sev, please calm down.” Draco said. “He is just acting on instinct. I have to thank the little prat for saving my sister’s life now.”
“May I see your arm?” Lucius asked his daughter.

Aria lifted her arm to see the scare with his wife’s signature. Aria could feel the anger and sadness rolling of her father. She sat up and gave her father a hug and a reassuring smile. It was by then that Yuda came back with the rest of their friends and teammates. Professor Dumbledor was introduced to Yuda and Ruka Hastings, Kazuki Fuuchouin, Shido Fuyuki, Ginji Amano, Ban Mido, Seiran Shi, Ryuki Shi, Shuuei Ran, Katie Minami, Dylan Yuki, Kyle Matsutake, Azumi Hidaka, Youichi Sumita, and Haruka Morishita. He also instructed Severus to bring the sorting hat to the infirmary. It resulted as Yuda, Ruka, Aria, and Kazuki are in Slytherin, Ban, Ginji, Haruka, and Youichi are in Gryffindor, Katie, Dylan, Azumi and Kyle are in Huffle Puff, Shido, Seiran, Shuuei, and Ryuki are in Ravenclaw. They were given the list of books for the 4th grade at Hogwarts and the other requirements. Aria gave her brother a tight hug and smiled at him.

“It’s shopping time Draco.” Aria said
“Sure is and you all will have silk robes.” Draco said with a smile.

The group had to go shopping the next day because they were running out go time to do their summer’s homework. They still have to go to the Quidditch world cup with her father and brother. They had gotten their invites a week early, somehow Aria did not really want to go to the ball. She had a bad feeling that something was about to happen but Yuda had told her that he wanted to see the professional quidditch players before the start school. So she had to agree.
