(NOT EDITED!)

Fiona got serious really quickly and casted a Silencio with her wand on the door to prevent anyone listening to their conversation.

"The next step is, to find his two Horcrux and destroy them!" Before she could continue, Rana interrupted her.

"Before that, I must confirm with the other Black members that they are on the same side as we," her firm gaze met Fiona "We have to be sure, that my family will support me in this no matter what!"

Fiona just smiled a bit encouraging at that. "You will have the needed time to confront them, on the winter holiday, I assume?"

Rana confirmed that with a short nod. "I have to firstly talk about this with Orion, he will be soon the family head and then with the rest. Every member of Black family stick together. We present us in front of other as a united front!"

At the end of the sentence, the raven-haired female face expression softened a little.

Fiona notices how much importance family hold for the female in front of her.Yeah, family was also very significant for herself, to even think that she could replace her family with the people from this universe, was unthinkable for the girl.

Someone knocked at the door, both girls turned around tense. It was Fiona who slowly stood up from her bed and opened the door. In front of the female was standing Abraxas with a lazy smirk on his face.

"Be ready tomorrow at 7 a.m, we will use the floo at the headmasters office. Also we will have breakfast at my house with my parents." He then slowly came closer to her and before Fiona could even say Personal space, he kissed her on the cheek. The male smiled playfully and then turned around and went to his dorm.

The place where he kissed her, still tingled. She looked so lost. The girl just couldn't wrap her head around the actions behind this boy.

What was the meaning of this? She still remembered what happened at breakfast, where exactly his hand were. Why did she find him a moment ago a little more tolerable? What's wrong with her? Fiona shook her head in irritation. "Let stop overthinking!" she thought to herself.

Rana who observed everything in silence, said nothing. There was an undefined look in her eyes. With a hand move she closed the door and got ready for bed.

As both girls laid in bed, the darkness surrounding them, none of them really asleep. Fiona asked the raven-haired female "I never asked you, but how are you feeling about this?"

There was silence in the room for a moment and Fiona thought that the other female already felt asleep, but she was surprised when she heard the answer.

"Fiona was like a sister to me; we practically grow up together. Our parents put up play dates for us, we went to those high society events, which she always made fun of, that girl could never stand those people. She was always there for me and I for her," No one could see it, but there was a single tear running town her face.

"To take in the knowledge that she is gone now, is..." She never finished the sentence.

Fiona could feel the hurt in those words. She could empathize with this on a different level.

Fiona knew that she wasn't the heroic kind of person. She can be selfish, superficial and quite dumb on special occasions but there were also good qualities about her.

Damn it! She has a good sense of humor and could bring anyone to laugh. The girl was very adaptable which could be proven with how she handled this hole transmitted-into-the-harry-potter-universe situation.

Thinking about what she would expect tomorrow, Fiona felt asleep.

At the same time in another place, six boys were facing each other, every one of them on high alert. The moon light illuminated their face. They changed their location from the Slytherin common room to one of the many secret rooms in Hogwart.

Rosier was the first one who spoke up. "What do you think, gentlemen? Rana is someone who wouldn't spout nonsense without something backing her research up!"

Avery answered with an uncertain tone "There must be some truth to her statement, we have to future investigate on this matter."

For a moment there was an uncomfortable among of silence in the room. One could only hear the breathing of the boys.

"I speak for everyone when I say we suspected something like this."

No one wanted to admit it, but everyone knew Rosier spoke the truth. None of the boys were ready to have this kind of conversation.

For god's sake- most of them looked up to Riddle, the power he wields and the way he could convince anyone he wanted except maybe Dumbledore. Nobody wanted to admit the fact that they were attracted to the power Tom Riddle promised each on of them, with a little price to pay- ignoring the obvious.

"Muciber and Lestrange- you will be using your connections in the Ministry to search more about Riddle's background, I will use my father's connection in the muggle world," it was Abraxas who gave the commands.

He looked seriously at the whole group "This will be kept between us, no words to anyone else! We will keep acting like we usually do!"

At the end he couldn't keep off a smirk on his face "A little investigation wouldn't hurt anybody, am I right gentlemen?" The malicious in his voice not even fully hidden.

The little package of old parchment given from Rana already burnt out long ago with a simple fire spell. To any outsiders it would seem that Malfoy was the leader of their small clique.

The next day, was very hectic. Their packed laguages were floating in the air, which was accomplished with a simple Levitation Charm.

Rana was still in the bathroom, doing her hair. Fiona was just simply fascinated, because a spell was used to tweak the hair into a complicated hairstyle.

She knew that she still has to get use to magic. Rana was half concentrated on her task, but asked additionally "You know what you have to do, right?"

Fiona could only seriously nod at that, in the early morning both girls went through the plan what felt like a hundred times.

The two females went to the common room to meet up with the others. There were a group of young smartly dressed men standing together which included of Rosier, Avery, Mulciber, Nott, Lestrange, Malfoy and Riddle.

A little further away were Orion, Cygnus, Alphard and Walburga positioned. Rana directly went to her family member after lightly squeezing Fiona's hand. The raven-haired girl whispered faintly "I will see you at the ball, be careful!"

The Zabini girl didn't want her to leave but pulled herself together. She then proceeded to walk confidently to Abraxas and hooked her arm in his. He looked down at her slightly surprise but recovered quickly and only tightened his grip on her arm.

"Before someone interrupted, "Riddle looked annoyed at her and continued talking "I was going to say," now he looked seriously at every one of the boys "you have a mission to accomplish, I hope you won't disappoint me!" there was a quick flash of red in his eyes, if she didn't observed him so closely, she would had assumed that she just imagined it.

But no, Fiona clearly saw it, a shiver ran down her back and quickly averted her gaze somewhere else. She knew that nothing good will come out if she continued starring directly into his eyes. After all, Riddle is secretly a Legilimens, a person who could invade her mind, without her even knowing.

Just imagine what he would do to her, if he come to learn everything she knew. The girl shuddered at that thought.

"We have to excuse ourself now, it's time for our early departure." she heard Abraxas voice saying.

Before the pair went on their way to the headmaster's office, Fiona met Rosier's gaze. He kept trying to say something with his eyes, but she completely missed the meaning behind it.

Few moments later and without any future complications, she was standing in the infamous Malfoy manor facing Abraxas parents, the platin-blond haired boy right beside her.

After their arrival his mother rushed to the teenagers and greeted them warmly. Alexios Malfoy had a stern look on his face, but after his wife playfully smacked his arm, fully knowing how much her husband missed their son, the man had a small but genial smile on his face and finally embraced his first born.

Fiona could see how much Abraxas family loved him. She felt a little envious and out of place observing the scene, privily missing her family. What would she give to see her parents and sibling again, even if it was only for once.

Turning around Helena Malfoy smiled welcoming at the young female "Fiona, dear lets head out to breakfast." and proceeded to walk to the dining hall, everyone following behind her.

Rana at the same time was in her room at one of the many Black family's mansions, skipping through the Dark Arts book her father Pollux gave her.

Her sister was with their mother Irma, a very unbearable woman and having a cup of tea while they discussed it over the new edition on witch weekly.

Thinking back at the conversation she had with Orion, a wicked smile creeped on her face. After she told him the entire truth about Tom Riddle. He was as disgusted as she was when she found out that Riddle was just a mere half-blood.

He will talk this over with the current head of the Black Family, Arcturus Black III, his father and from then on, every member of the Black family will cut their ties with Tom Riddle.

This would be only natural, because it was unheard that a Black would voluntarily associate with anything less than pure.
