The Poisonous Princess' saga continues.
This book will relate of our heroin's fifth grade at Hogwarts.
Teenagers grow up here, that year will be lighter that the previsous one "Rough Diamond (book 3)" and more focused on school life.
Draco becoming...
A second later I opened back my eyes, we were standing in front of hight fences.
Is that it, to Apparate ?
"How do you feel ?" Asked my protector.
I sarcastically answered : "Smashing..."
"To apparate can be troubling for the mind and stomac. You would learn this skill when you'll be older."
Indeed, I felt sick. As if my inner ears didn't know where up and ground were. But I fast recognised the large building coming out from the twilight. Malfoy manoir was a remarkable place that night, with all windows enlightened.

Inside, great chandeliers were lit up everywhere, which made a warmer candlelight atmosphere. It remind me of an opera house. I admired how beautifully arraged it was for the occasion. There was a great christmas tree in the first room, and several smaller in other corners. All decorated with silver ornaments. It was like Yule ball but with Slytherin aesthetic.
"Good evening Severus. We are pretty surprised to see you coming tonight, it is something we are not used from you." Politely jested Mr Malfoy when he welcomed us.
He was wearing a short cape on shoulders with silvers silk inside of it, and a ruffle was added to his black shirt. With his white hair and his cane, he had an elegant theatrical look, he could have portrayed a royal character.
I answered with a joke : "He chaperone me, unfortunately."
Mrs Narcissa friendly replied :
"It is all natural for a young lady like you to have a chaperon. Having you both tonight is a real pleasure, welcome."
Her, straight posture as always, she wore a long velvet dress with sleeves.
A unknow maid asked to take my coat so I gladly got rid of it. The place was so full of guests that the temperature was much warmer than I expected. Snape judged my look as soon as I moved forward. I saw his shocked face, he was clearly disapproving my 'sexy' dress. But he was too abashed to tell anything.
Narcissa leaded us to some guest and made presentations with two women. One was young, probably Hogwart's alumni and the other seemed to be a severe person.
"Severus, you remember Merula Snyde ? And I believe it's been a while since you didn't meet her aunt Verruca ?"
They greeted each other, but barely shook my own hand, not minding my existence.
"Actually, we never have the opportunity. " started Severus with cold attitude. "But it is a pleasure to meet The Director..."
The Director ? Head of what ? I had no idea what they were talking about.
"No no, I am not. The Cabal is over, now that our real leader is back. It was just a way to keep His values alive." The elder woman rejected.
"I am sure, of corse, that your intention was honorable even while penetrating Hogwarts's castle..."
