Arrogant - cuz i got a reason

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara stopped, just before the porthole and turned her head about to look at him with her sleepy yet irritated eyes.  "Well good morning, dearest brother."  She said to him, knowing how he hated her to use any sort of endearment when she addressed him, but doing so as she was feeling rather puckish at the moment.  "You want to come along, I am certain he wouldn't mind at all, or at least I don't' think he would, get an early start in your meeting?"  She suggested.

Kiara hated the fact that she knew Draco held her father in such high regard, was he even aware that Voldem0rt would only use him for his own self amusements?  She wasn't sure he knew that, she felt as though Draco would see meeting her father as a great honor with hopes of grandeur along the way, though this would be the furthest from the truth, of course, Voldem0rt didn't work that way, all he wanted others for was to do his dirty work, and that was it.

A grin spread across Draco's face as he replied,"Yes. An early start on the meeting would be wonderful." He pushed her slightly to get her out of his way so he could go through the porthole first, then added," And dont call me brother."

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara shook her head in a manner that suggested he was an idiot and then stepped out of the way to allow him to pass.  "As you wish...love."  She returned, just to get under his skin.  She wasn't above his own petty games at aggravating him, as a matter-of-fact, she quite enjoyed it, from time to time.

She stepped through the porthole after him and then stopped behind him.  "Well then, you in such a hurry, lead the way."  She grinned up at him, knowing he hadn't the slightest clue as to where they were going.

[draco294]

This made Draco slightly angrily. "You know I dont know where to go!" he said, becoming aggravated. "Know take us there. Hurry! I mean, as you said earlier, he is very anxious to meet me." He finished this sentence with a smug little grin.

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara grinned, he had snapped at her and that was what she had wanted, for him to become aggravated with her, she thought perhaps she would stop, but she didn't/

"Well, it just seemed that you wanted out so badly and you pushed me behind you so I thought perhaps you knew what you were doing and where you were going Draco, I apologize, dearest Brother..." She emphasized the brother. "If I did find you as smart as you thought you might be."  She responded and then walked forward, bumping his shoulder rather hard on her way past and giving him a snide grin.

[draco294]

Draco dropped his jaw slightly at all Kiara had just said ti him. He was about to argue a huge rant, but decided against it. Instead he just mumbled," I'm not your brother," under his breath and began to follow her.

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara smiled as she continued to lead Draco down the quiet hall through the school.  She paused for a moment and did something with her right hand, barely noticeable, her fingers moving slightly and then she continued.  No one, not a soul in the castle seemed to be about, it was so quiet, one might have thought it empty, save for the two wanderers creeping through it halls.  They reached the huge double doors that would lead them out side, and as Kiara stepped towards them, they opened wide before her and she stepped through and out into the chilly night.  There was always advantages at being a sorceress as compared to a simple witch, she never had to use her wand for starters, though when she did, the effect was quiet scary.  Dumbledores insistence that she learn to use one had become quite a step up in her power, making her even more so as the years had gone by.

She stepped onto the grass and peered behind her and watched as Draco followed, the double doors behind them closed with a sort of finality and she smiled a little dark smile at her Foster brother and then turned towards the forest.

When they reached the edge, she stopped and waited for a few moments, the entire time she never once said a single word to Draco, her mind busy on listening and less on talking.

"This way."  She finally said to him and she stepped into the forest to their right and continued down a deer trail, or whatever manner of creature trail it had been, she didn't stop to wonder.  They seemed to walk on forever, the trees became thicker and the ground softer, until they were plunged into total darkness.  At this point, she opened up her right hand and a small bauble flew up into the air around them, bathing the two in a golden light to see by. "Just a little further." She whispered to Draco. And soon, they stepped into a small clearing.  "We wait here." She told him and she stood perfectly still, her emerald gaze watching the ground.

[draco294]

Draco looked around in awe, utterly amazed that he was was actually here. "Really?" he said, quite happily. "For how long do we wait?"  He obviously becoming extremely anxious at this point.

[Kiara Johnson]

The clearing they stood in was small, perhaps four feet across in any direction, they stood there, Kiara remaining silent, not even bothering to answer Draco's excited responses to her short commands.  She just stood there, eyes to the ground, waiting.  Total darkness surrounded them, if not for Kiara's bauble shedding that small amount of golden light, they'd not even be able to see their hands in front of their faces.  For How long they waited, might have seemed an eternity to Draco, but to Kiara, it moved far to quickly, ten minutes went by, then 12 and suddenly all the creatures in the vicinity grew perfect still, not a sound, only their breathing could be heard.

There was  flash and a sound sort of like sucking air and then, there he was, Lord Voldemort stood alone, no Deatheaters behind him, totally alone.  His snake-like red orbs stood on Kiara for a moment, which did not move, simply kept her head down, looking at the ground, or her feet, who knew.  Then his eyes turned and landed on Draco.

"Mr. Malfoy, what a pleasant surprise."  He stated in his dark tone as he walked past Kiara and over towards Draco.

[draco294]

"Y-yes, my lord. Kiara told me you wanted to see me. I know this is earlier than you expected, but..I caught Kiara sneaking out of the common room to see you and..I thought I would join." Draco said, as he stood amazed to be in Voldemort's presence. "She said you were anxious to see me. What is it that you want me to do for you? I'll do anything, anything at all," he added, in such awe that he now paid no notice to the fact that Kiara was still even there.

[Kiara Johnson]

Voldemort stood, looking down on Draco as if he were some new treat for him to taste and then after a few moments of silence, he chuckled slightly, a sound that was more eerie than pleasant.  "So, you thought you would make it your duty to follow her out here, did you..." it was more of a statement than a question. "I see, well yes indeed I was most anxious to meet you young Malfoy, your father has served me well over the years, but I feel his time is growing ... stale."  he then stated, he too seemed to have forgotten about Kiara, seemed.

Kiara stood just as she had the entire time, totally still and totally silent, she once rolled her eyes, though neither would have noticed, at the way Draco was acting. But that was really all the movement she would give, she was actually hoping that Draco would take her father's attention away for the entire time she, they were there, but she didn't let her hope get up too high.

"Yes, yes I might have something for you to do, perhaps instead of fighting my daughter.."  She started; turning his head slightly to gaze at Kiara for an instant before bringing his ghastly gaze back to Draco again.  "I will ask you to take this to your school, place it someplace near to the Great Hall."  HE stated, reaching into his cloak and bringing out a tiny stone, it looked like any other stone, save perhaps the even tinier inscriptions on it that covered the stone completely, and handed it to Draco.

Kiara animated then, her head snapped up and she glared at Draco.  Anything her father wanted in the school could not be good news. 

[draco294]

Draco saw Kiara's glare towards him but decided it better to just ignore her. He then turned his attention back to the stone and simply stared at it for a moment, still in awe. "Yes, my lord," he said, as he finally took the stone from Voldemort's hand and held it in his own. He said nothing more;he was thinking deeply about all of the possibilities of what the stone may do.

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara just realized why it was Draco her father wanted to see so badly, why it was Draco and no one else.  She growled outwardly, making her father's lips turn up into a semblance of a smile. She couldn't touch Draco, no matter how hard she tried, Draco would do exactly what the Dark Lord wanted of him with out question and there was nothing Kiara could do to stop him, save for trying to talk sense into him.

"So, you've figured it out have you Kiara." The Dark Lord said in his snake-like voice, still watching Draco, an expression of pure satisfaction written on his features, as he watched Draco tumble the small stone about in his hand.

"I should have thought about it earlier... shouldn't have let him come."  She growled though not in answer to her father but simply thinking out loud.

Kiara then narrowed her eyes at her father's back, a look of total defiance creeping over her now darkened features.  "What's to keep me from removing it once he's placed it."  She sneered at him, turning now to face the two of them.

Voldemort laughed and turned to look into his daughter's eyes. "You can't touch it."  He replied calmly. "No one but Draco and myself can, do you think I would be so stupid as to allow an opportunity like this go to waste by allowing you to ruin it for me?" He nearly purred.

Voldemort had what seemed to be extraordinary patience when dealing with Kiara, anyone else, Draco would know, he's have simply cursed for such defiance.

"Go now young Malfoy, place that stone deep within a crack someplace within the walls so that it will not be found.  DO it now, before Kiara comes along she doesn't need to know where it is."  He told him. "This is your chance to make your Lord proud of you boy, go."

"Draco, don't do it. he doesn't care about you, please don't, think of your friends.."  Kiara pleaded with him but was cut short with a choking sound as her choker tightened about her neck to silence her.

[draco294]

"What are you talking about?" Draco said, as he turned to face Kiara. "You're lying. You're just jealous. He asked me to do this, not you. I'm that much better." He finished speaking with a smug little smile, as he began to turn away and head back towards the castle.
