<sub>A petite blond stood in the shadows of a place she thought she never had to see again. Sabrina's big blue eyes scanned the large iron gate in front of her in total disgust. Even though she was more intelligent then the average person (being a former Ravenclaw and all) and loved to learn, she didn't enjoy Hogwarts. It had too many memories of drama, old friends, and worst of all the ghost of her ex lover lingered in ever corner of the castle. She took a deep breath as a cloaked figure came toward her. Sabrina was here representing The Ministry today. She had a meeting with the Headmaster and she was eager to do it and get it over with so that she could leave this effin place.

The cloaked professor greeted her and opened the gate before looking her up and down. Clearly she didn't approve of Sabrina's outfit. She wore six inch black pumps a soft green, body hugging, short skimpy dress even though it was cold outside. Her own black cloak was tightly wrapped around her and she had a silver headband pushing back her long platinum blond hair. She hadn't noticed that she was sporting the Slytherin House colors, and the thought made her slightly blush. "Hello again Ms.Troy, I see you haven't changed a bit. Doing well?" The Professor asked her but only half interested. Sab knew what she had meant by saying 'I see you haven't changed'. She was referring to the fact that Sabrina had a reputation at Hogwarts for being spoiled, wild, snobby and...loose. "Very well indeed actually", she answered in her seductive breathy voice. Her slight French accent rolling of her tongue. "I take it you're doing well considering you still have a job here", She added with a little smirk. The Professor said nothing, but slightly nodding with a grimace. Sabrina knew she never had liked her much even though she was one of the top in her class.

They walked the rest of the way into the castle and up to the Headmaster's office in silence. The meeting was dull, and mostly about security and important goin-on's. She lingered a while making small talk with the Headmaster as he offered her candy and asked her questions about her well being. She tried her best to stay calm and collective but it was rather hard lying to the gray haired man in front of her. She skimmed threw most things but all in all told the truth. She hated to see the slight disappointment in his eyes but knew that he didn't consider her a lost cause. He knew exactly what she had been up too outside of the Ministry. But of course he would, he knew everything. Tired of forcing conversation, Sabrina excused herself with the Headmaster telling her that she should leave. She thanked him for the candy and shut the large oak door of his office a little too loudly in a hurry, and headed down the spiral staircase into the hall.

She had been walking for a moment absent minded going over the conversation, making sure she hadn't said too much until she passed the clock tower. She considered going up there for old times sakes. She hated what memories hid there, but she was scared to leave the castle anyway but calm. Sabrina knew that she could find peace and quiet up there even for just a few minutes before the old familiar castle would disappear behind her once again. She thought this threw quickly as students passed by her. Many of them were much taller then she was, and she found it embarrassing that she was only 5'2. Even some of the third years that rushed past her timidly were bigger then she was. She sighed and walked to the clock tower door and opened it. Sabrina shut this door more softly behind her this time. She had taken a few steps before she heard another set of feet. She froze dead where she was. No one ever came up here. That was the appeal. It would be the first time she ran into someone with out wanting to in this place and the idea made her walk back down the few steps she had came.

She paused again, her little hand on the door's handle listening. This time she heard nothing. Her mind was playing tricks on her she knew it. She began walking up the stairs again, but when she heard the second set of footsteps she stopped. This time they didn't so she quickly turned around again and hid in the shadow by the door. This time she could here movement of a body. Most likely it was looking over the railing and she was glad whoever it was couldn't see her. Once it was silent again, Sabrina opened the door and stepped out, moving on her tiptoes so that her heals wouldn't click. She walked to the other side of the hall way and leaned against the wall. She placed her hands on her head as she shook it. This was ridiculous. Obviously her mind was playing tricks on her. The movement was just her imagination, making the moments with Lafayette more vivid.

Just as soon as she convinced herself of this theory however, She heard the door in front of her open. The person that had been up there wasn't a student at all, and was completely unexpected. What in the name of this green earth was he doing here. She raised her perfectly (perfect for her face anyway) waxed eyebrow, examining the figure in front of her before her full lips parted into a slight smile. "Malachi?" She asked even though she knew perfectly well who it was. She walked over to him so that he actually had a view of her. She might have been pretty but there was no denying that she was small and could have easily blended in as a student. "What are you doing here?" She snapped? Hopefully not ruining her cover. Sabrina had a public image. She played a Quidditch Players daughter who worked in the Ministry as an Unspeakable to the Wizarding world by day. But at night in her private life she was a Death Eater, a very good and vicious one at that. Her pretty face held a cold expression as the thought of being exposed ran quickly threw her head. It was warm again in an instant.

Whatever reason he was here for, she knew that Malachi was anything but stupid. Relief splashed over her body before a warm fuzzy feeling took it over. She felt oddly happy to see her friend, finally someone she didn't have to pretend with was in her company. Plus Sabrina hadn't seen Malachi in a unusually long time for them. "I would ask what you are doing here but I really don't want to know." She added before Linking her arm with him. She stayed where she was next to him, waiting for a response to walk. "I am glad to see you though, what have you been doing? Or actually wait to answer that." She gently tugged him, waiting for him to follow her in the direction that she wanted to go. "Will you join me for the rest of the day, maybe in Hogsmead? Unless you want to hide up in the tower some more....I was wondering who's feet i had heard up there. Funny that it was you." Her sapphire blue eyes sparkled at him, but aside from her warm expression in her jewel like eyes, the rest of her face was blank.</sub>
