Corrupted Youths (Daenerys)

[Deleted]

One way Thad got away with possessing and reading his family's dark spell books at Hogwarts is that he only had so many there at one time. He would have his trusted bodyguard and house-sitter, Rygor, send him two or three via a secret mailing method ever so often, and at the same time he would send others back. So far no one who could condemn him for possessing such books at the school had been the wiser.

It was late and Thad sat by the fire, its light and only its light allowing him to read one of them, a work written by his dark witch aunt, Agathina Thorn. He sat and whispered the spells inside, making sure he was pronouncing them correctly. Without his wand in his hand, what he was doing was harmless. Had his wand been held, there was no telling what havoc he could be causing while uttering the spells. He looked up briefly to ensure no one was spying on him before returning to the book.

It was going to be one of those nights again where Daenerys fought against her bed and got tangled in her sheets. Tossing and turning, she became overly restless. One of the other girls in her room told her to remain still. "Screw you." Daenerys snapped back. She got up out of her bed, throwing her covers to the end of it, and stomping her feet across the hard floor rather intentionally. "I'll remember that the next time you are snoring so loudly, I'll just suffocate you." Daenerys said before shutting the door and making her way down to the common room.

Before rounding the corner, she could tell the fire was still lit. Perhaps it wasn't that late after all considering the house elves would have come to douse the fire if it was the early morning hours. Maybe she could find peace on the common room couch, it wouldn't be overly strange for her to wake up there considering she had passed out there multiple times after a night of drinking. She looked up as she entered the common room and noticed Thaddeus was there as well, reading some sort of book. He looked around a bit cautiously. "I guess you can't sleep either." Daenerys said, to one of the few people she could stand. "What are you doing?" She asked, curious to see why he was up so late and out here alone.

(Something to do with her possibly joining the Black Army I think)

If Thad was startled by the sudden arrival of the girl, he didn't show it. Though often the boy didn't show much emotion at all, aside from when he was with Nienna of course. He looked up at the Seventh Year with cold eyes, slowly closing his book after marking his place.

"If I may be so brash, Daenerys, I believe when one has a book in his hand, it's quite obvious what he is doing," he said. Normally Thad wouldn't scoff so much at one who was Pureblood and Slytherin, but he had hoped for a quiet night of reading since most had already gone to bed and was therefore a bit on the upset side. However, he then rose and stepped closer for her, holding the book in a way that it wouldn't draw a lot of interest. He didn't trust this girl as he didn't trust most.

"What brings you to the Common Room this time of night?" he asked.

Thaddeus could be a rather bore but he was the only person that seemed to up this late so Daenerys was going to try and make conversation. She rolled her eyes at his response. Obviously she knew he had been reading, for why else would one be holding a book up staring at the pages. "Excuse me for not asking such a proper form of the question. What are you reading is basically what I meant." Daenerys clarified. She by passed the now standing boy and went to sit on the couch. The fire was still going and the heat felt good. "Just the basic problem of not being able to sleep." She said. "The girls upstairs were getting bothersome and before I choked one of them I decided it best to head down stairs." Daenerys added. She laid back on the couch making herself more comfortable. "Are you not tired or could you not sleep either?" She asked, not truly wondering but needed something to do to keep her busy.

Thorn was straight-forward with Daenerys when she asked what he was reading. He felt that was far better than making up some silly lie.

"What I'm reading is not of your concern," he said. And for him, that was the truth. His family's works were only his concern and that of those he shared them with.

Thad smirked when she said she was ready to strangle some of the girls upstairs.

"Can't say I would blame you if you did," he said. "There are far too many who give this house a bad name. I'll wager Salazar Slytherin rolls in his tomb every time one of them opens their mouth."

Thad then seated himself again and kept the smirk when Daenerys asked if he was tired or not.

"I pick and choose the times I slumber," he said. "And that way I can study or engage in... more casual reading at hours like these when the entire lot of this Common Room aren't running about and poking their noses in my business."

One thing Daenerys could respect about Thaddeus was that he didn't beat around the bush. He told it how it was, much like herself. He replied that it was none of her business what he was reading but it was done in a respectful manner. "Alright, I won't bite." She said smirking at the double meaning. Even though she was curious she wouldn't keep pestering about it. Plus there wasn't anything about his family that she truly wanted or needed to know. "The poor guy had probably had no rest in the last century or so. Its a shame that Slytherin house isn't held to the same standards." She added. "They should really allow us to vote people out, all the houses should be that way, and there can be a fifth house for the left overs." She suggested. "Or just push them all in with the puffs because we all know they don't matter." She stifled a small yawn. "You should be lucky you have such a choice. I wish I could choose when I slept." Daenerys said. She hated that her sleep schedule was all over the place. There were times she never felt tired and others she felt exhausted constantly.

Thad somewhat believed Daenerys when she said she wouldn't "bite". Nevertheless, he kept a firm grip on the book and kept it out of her sight. In a way, he didn't think the girl would rat him out for having such a book, but again he practiced great caution, especially those days.

Thad smirked about Salazar not getting any rest due to the disappointing students that made up part of Slytherin House. He had to agree with that. However, he didn't agree with making a Fifth House.

"I should like to think a Fifth House with the unwanted would be even more bothersome than Hufflepuff," he said. "They would be pitied by the Staff, and we would be continuously disciplined for ridiculing them."

Thad looked at Daenerys sharply when she spoke of not having the choice of when and when not to rest. Once thing the Black Army encouraged him to look for were those in Slytherin who despised being controlled. Perhaps Daenerys was one of these.

"Tell me, Daenerys," he said. "Just who decides when you should and shouldn't sleep? I find the possibility that someone would control something so personal appalling."

Daenerys found comfort on the couch as she had now been laying there for a small amount of time. Perhaps the couch seemed more like bed to her than her actual bed and that is why she felt more at ease here. Or maybe it was due to being almost alone except for Thaddeus. Either way she was beginning to feel less restless. She listened to Thaddeus's thoughts on the fifth house and what he said wasn't false. It would cause more conflict in the area that Slytherins would be relentless to those in the unwanted house. However, Daenerys always thought it was important to keep appearances up. "What else would we do with the students who were out voted? They wouldn't be able to send them home because that wouldn't be fair in the eyes of the majority of the world." She emphasized the word fair because in her eyes if someone was voted out they obviously didn't deserve to be taught. Daenerys then wondered if others would vote her out because she wasn't agreeable with most people but she doubted that anyone could say she didn't uphold Slytherin values. "To the outside world they would need to hold up appearances. That is the best way to be deceitful and get things done." She wasn't sure if Thaddeus would hold the same view as her but it didn't really matter. Everyone had their own way of thinking.

"No one controls it." She said dryly. Why on earth would he think someone else controlled her sleep? "Its just a bad combination of not getting my body and mind to match up. One is always restless while the other is wide awake. Its part of my nature, I believe." Daenerys informed him. "No one would ever have control over me in such a way." She added, just to make that clear.

Thad wondered why he hadn't talked to Daenerys before. He found her quite intelligent and sinister, and because of both quite likable. She would certainly fit into the Black Army.

"One only wonders if the likes of us were allowed to decide what was... fair, my friend," said Thad. "What was just and righteous. Perhaps then we wouldn't have to make foolish sacrifices to cater to the weak." He then smirked as she spoke of deceit. "I like how you think there. Indeed deception is key to the proper execution of one's goals in life."

When Daenerys said no one would have control over her, that's when Thad let his snake's tongue got to work. He drew in close and whispered in her ear like Satan himself.

"Ah, but you are controlled, my friend, every day... by this school, by the Ministry," she said. "Your every move approved or disapproved, your every major sin punished, and you are only rewarded when you prove to be a loyal servant, humbled before the Minister and his lot. You want control yourself, but you can't have it and why... because you allow others to maintain it over you. Wouldn't you like to remedy that, Daenerys? What would you say if I told you I knew of a way you could have control... true power..."
