Sora Pendragon
One morning Drayden was with his brother Henry and their Animal Guardian, Sora, at a local cafe in Daybreak Town. When he spotted someone placing an order,
"Hey, Trinity!" He said gesturing for him to join them.
Trinity looked over to the sound of his name.
"Bark!" Han leaped off his head and ran over to the group. Trinity followed over,
"Hey! It's great to see you all again!"
"It feels like a decade since we last saw you!" Drayden added.
"Yeah, it really does. How have you all been?"
"Good, good, what about you?" Drayden asked as a waitress came by with some beverages.
"One House Coffee with Cream, Sugar and Cocoa Powder." She said Giving Drayden his cup. "One cup of Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon." She said giving Henry his cup. "And one cup of Peppermint Tea." She added serving a cup to Sora. "And can I get you and your pup anything to drink sir?" She asked Trinity.
"Thanks, I've already ordered." He replied. The waitress nodded her head and walked away.
"So how have you been Trinity?" Sora asked.
"I'm doing alright, you know, still slaying heartless." He looked over towards Henry, "Say, has your school started yet, Henry?"
"Not yet," Henry answered, "We need to head to Diagon Alley to get my books."
"Yeah all written by some weirdo named Gilderoy Lockhart," Drayden spat, "Well except for one Standard Book of Spells Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk. Would you like to come and see Diagon Alley with us?" Drayden asked. Trinity thought for a minute, before nodding,
"Sure, I'll follow," Trinity said, "You know the portal spell Drayden?" Henry grinned,
"You can't get there by a portal. You gotta use Floo powder."
"Pardon me?" Henry took out a pouch and set it on the table.
"Floo powder, we can use it to get there. But first, we'll need a fireplace." Looking around there was none to be found in the cafe.
"I know where we can find one, course you'll need to take your order to go Trinity."
"Not a problem." Said, Trinity.
"Then let's go!" Drayden got up and began running off.
After breakfast, they all went back to Drayden, Henry and Sora's place. On one of the sofas was a cat who didn't react to Han or Sora's presence. "Our other resident is out on business, won't be back for a while," Drayden explained, picking up the cat. "Not that Cagney here minds."
"Okay, lets-" Henry began.
"Hold it, Henry," Drayden said, checking the bag. "Yeah we only got enough for five one way trips," He said. "Henry, why don't you show Trinity how it's done?"
"Okay," Henry said taking a handful of Floo Powder and stepped into the fireplace. "Dagon Alley!" He shouted tossing the powder down as he was engulfed in green flames. When the flames died down Henry was gone. "That's how Floo Powder works." Drayden explained." Just remember to speak very clearly." He explained, handing him some Floo Powder, "Because of our shortage I just use my own way of travel." He said as a small flame appeared in his hand. "Deslagrate muri tempi et intervalia!" Drayden said as the flame turned into a pillar, then it engulfed him in a ball of fire. When it cleared, he and Sora were gone.
"Uh... let's give this a shot then" Trinity picked up Han and sat him in his backpack. He then stepped into the fireplace, holding the powder. Before he could act, a ball of smoke appeared; It was Chirithy.
"Wait," Chirithy said, "You're going to attempt it?"
"How else am I going to get there?" Chirithy stepped forward to him,
"You don't understand you're going, to a new world. One where you won't be as strong as you are in most worlds."
"Don't worry; I won't be alone."
"I'm just saying, be careful Trinity." Chirithy disappeared. Trinity looked at the powder in his hand. He held it high,
"Diagon Alley!" He threw down the powder and vanished into flames. Henry popped out of the fireplace in The Leaky Cauldron. While Drayden and Sora appeared in a burst of flame. The three dusted themselves off. Drayden looked around, "Hey where's..?"
Pfft*
The fireplace lit up once more and spat out Trinity as he fell on the ground. Han popped out of the bag, running around,
"Bark bark!" He ran up to Trinity and began licking his face. Trinity quickly got up, patting himself off,
"Well, that's one way to travel I guess."
"At least you made it! Not most people like you usually get it right the first time." Henry told him.
"Welcome to The Leaky Cauldron!" Drayden greeted him.
"What is this place?" Asked Trinity.
"It's a pub, got the best food you could ask for!"
"But we can't stay, for now, we got to get my books, Drayden." Henry pulled at his clothes.
"Right."
"Where we heading to first?" Trinity asked.
"Flourish and Blotts," Drayden said, "It's where we'll get Henry's textbooks." He explained. The four exited the pub and stepped outside. Trinity looked around, to see the cobblestone paved roads and brick buildings. People walked everywhere, parents guiding their kids to store after store, all holding books, glass bottles, and all sorts of animals in various containers. As they walked, Drayden had accidentally bumped into someone, "Oh sorry…!" His brow went down, "Actually, I'm sorry I ran into you, prejudice freaks!" He said his tone changed from apologetic to spiteful when he realized he bumped into Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco. "You two are so the last people I want to run into when I come here." He added.
Draco frowned and took a step towards him, but his father stopped him.
"Now Drayden, there is no reason to be so hostile in such a quaint environment," Lucius said to him coldly, "Weren't you ever taught your manners?" Drayden said nothing, but staring with fire in his eyes at Draco. "Hmph, come on Draco, let's keep walking" Lucius lead his son away from them. It was silence until they were out of sight.
"Ugh! I can't ever stand them!" Drayden huffed, "If he messes with you Henry, you better let me know!" He told his little brother.
"Okay..." Henry nodded.
"Come on let's go," Sora said, attempting to calm Drayden."
"Ugh, Day just started and already in a bad mood!" Drayden said. "Henry, We may need to restock your Potion Ingredients," Drayden said. "What about you Sora? You running out of ingredients?" He asked.
"Maybe? I'll see if there's anything I need once we get to store." Sora answered.
"Alright," Drayden said. The group continued to the store, Flourish and Blotts. The store seemed to be packed of more people, all rushing to get items they wanted. "What's on the list Henry?" asked Drayden. Henry pulled out his list. "I need The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk, Break with a Banshee, Gadding with Ghouls, Holidays with Hags, Travels with Trolls, Voyages with Vampires, Wanderings with Werewolves, and Year with the Yeti, all seven by Gilderoy Lockhart." He said.
"Great, that Pompous windbag," Drayden said.
"I'll get it!" Sora said. He quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"I hope he has the money," Drayden said.
Drayden spotted a large family of red-haired wizards. "Mr. and Mrs. Weasley!" Drayden called waving to them. The two parents turned towards Henry and Drayden,
"Ah! The Blaze brothers! How are you all?" Asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Doing just fine, how about you?" Drayden replied.
"Oh, we're doing quite well! We were just helping our kids get their supplies." Mr. Weasley looked down at Trinity,
"Um, who is this young fellow?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Oh this is our friend Trinity" Henry explained, "He's a friend of ours."
"A... muggle?"
"Sorta, he's a keyblade wielder" Drayden explained. The two adults stared at Trinity for a bit.
"Oh yes! Like Drayden! Nice to meet you!" Mrs. Weasley said. She took Trinity's hand and shook it, "I'm Molly, and this is my husband, Arthur!"
"Good to meet you both" Trinity said.
"A-Are you here for something too?" Arthur asked.
"We invited Trinity here to come see our world," Henry said, "He's sorta a mentor for Drayden."
"Oh, I see! Well, in that case, welcome to Diagon Alley!" Molly said.
"Thank you" Smiled Trinity.
"The Weasleys may not have much in the way of money," Drayden told Trinity. "But they're by far the nicest Wizarding family. They value family over fortune." He explained. "In fact, they're on the Sacred 28 Wizarding families." Drayden handed him a list.
Finally, Sora got back he had none other than Harry Potter with him. "How'd you find him?" Drayden asked.
"It helps when you've got a nose like mine" Sora chuckled.
"Henry! Good to see you again!" Harry greeted him.
"It's good to see you again as well Harry!" Henry and Harry shook hands, "You ready for this year?"
"No, but I'm always ready to be here instead of my home back in my Surrey!"
"Harry where were you?" Drayden asked hugging their cousin, "And what happened to your glasses?" He asked pointing out the cracked lens. That's when Hermione appeared.
"Well let's just say that the Dursley's weren't going to let me come back this year," Harry said.
"Yeah, I can see that," Hermione said as she looked at his glasses. She pulled out her wand, "Oculus Reparo" she casted. The crack on Harry's glasses fixed itself.
"Woah, thanks!" said Harry.
"No surprise," Drayden said. He leaned over to Trinity, "My aunt's sister and husband are super against Magic." Drayden told Trinity. "It stems from the fact that my mother and Lily were Witches and Petunia is Muggle." He said then forgetting, "Right! Trinity, this my and Henry's cousin, Harry Potter," His eyes moved to the Hermione, "And that's Hermione Granger." He pointed.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Rang a voice from the front of the store, "I give Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart!" Said the shopkeeper. A handsome, golden-haired wizard with beautiful pearl-white teeth walks in. He poses at some photographers and takes a seat behind a desk, holding up a book with himself on it.
"Who's that?" Trinity asks.
"He's a writer, writes a lot of books about his encounters with all kinds of malevolent creatures!" Hermione replied. Drayden gagged,
"Guy's a real pompous windbag," He told Trinity. "He's all page and no biz." He stated, earning a glare from Hermione. "Don't give me that look! I've done battle with every single of those ghosts and monsters that whackjob's written about." Drayden said.
"Good Lord!" Lockhart exclaimed. His eyes had traveled to Harry, "It can't be...Harry Potter!" He reached for him.
"You stop right there, "pretty boy"!" Drayden stopped him as his keyblade flashed into his hand "Back away from my cousin and no one gets hurt!" He added. Henry began to whisper to Trinity,
"Ever since Mom and Dad's vanishing, and Uncle James and Aunt Lily's deaths, Drayden tends to be protective of what's left of his family." Trinity nodded in reply and stepped forward,
"Drayden," Trinity pushed Drayden's blade down. Drayden looked at him with an outraged look, before looking back at Lockhart and grudgingly recalling his keyblade. Lockhart took a nervous breath, as Drayden stepped back.
"I-If you don't mind I would just like to have a picture with this... boy of legend!" Everyone looked at Harry, who gave a hesitant nod before he walked over with Lockhart. Lockhart grinned proudly, while Harry only gave awkward smiles. The two posed for a couple of pictures as flashes of white hit them.
"What an extraordinary moment this is! When young Harry here, stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my autobiography; Magical Me! Which, incidentally is celebrating its twenty-seventh week atop The Daily Prophet's Bestseller List! He had no idea that he would, in fact, be leaving with my entire collected works! Free of charge!" People began cheering as Lockhart started to stacking books in Harry's hand, which was a stacker almost larger than him!
"Urk... thank you!" Harry choked as he slowly wandered back over to Ron and Drayden.
"Harry James Potter! What were you thinking?" Drayden demanded, "I can't believe you went through with that!" He said. As he made his way to the door. A voice stopped him,
"Bet you loved that didn't you Potter!"
"And the day just keeps getting better," Drayden muttered as he turned around.
"Famous Harry Potter, can't even walk into a bookshop without making the front page!" Said Malfoy.
"Leave him alone!" A little red-headed girl stated. It was the daughter of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley.
"Oh look, Potter, you got yourself a Girlfriend!" Malfoy mocked.
"Give me a reason to pound your face in Malfoy!" Drayden said, his eyes glowing red hot, "I dare you!" He said.
"Now now Draco; play nicely." Lucius appeared from behind Malfoy, "Harry Potter, we meet at last," He stuck out his hand, "Lucius Malfoy." Harry shook his hand, "Forgive me-" He raised his cane to Harry's head, when it was intercepted by Drayden blade. "Don't...You... Dare!" He barked, "I am not in a good mood Lucius! Do you really want to make it worse?!" He asked.
"Hmph!" Lucius frowned, withdrawing his staff, "Better put a muzzle on your dragon freak of a cousin" Lucius warned, "Even dragons aren't immortal."
"What did you say?! Wanna say that again?!" Drayden barred his teeth.
"So you're Draco's dad?" Harry asked.
"Indeed" Lucius smiles, "I have heard much about you, especially that scar of yours. Given to you by a man of legend-"
"You mean a murderer!"
"Yes... my condolences for your parents... you know; I heard some interesting tales about your first year. I have one thing to say," He leans forward, "He will come back, he is still alive." Harry's eyes widened.
"Oh please, that sick parasite living off Quirrel?" Drayden sneered. "At this point, Voldemort's just a pathetic, worthless punk."
"You must be very brave to mention his name, Drayden," Lucius said to him. "Or very foolish."
"Fear of a name only increases nothing more than fear for the thing itself," Hermione stated.
"And you must be Miss Granger am I right?" He asked looking at Malfoy who nodded. "Yes, Draco's told me all about you and your parents." Hermione turned to look at her parents who were having a conversation with Mr. Weasley. "Muggles aren't they?" He stated.
"I don't believe that's any of your concern" Hermione spat. Lucius let out a smirk, before noticing Trinity.
"What's this? Another muggle here too? Just who do you belong with?"
"He's here with me," Drayden said defensively.
"I don't think you're allowed to just bring muggles here without a connection."
"I'm keyblade wielder." Replied Trinity.
"Are we now? You don't look like much," He looked at him, "I think it'd be in your best interest to leave while you still can, mister?"
"Trinity."
"Trinity! Splendid name, well as I said; you should leave while you still can. You don't belong here."
"He's not afraid of you!" Henry interrupted.
"No one here is!" Drayden said. "And he's not a complete Muggle! He can see Dementors, and you know full well that anyone who can see Dementors is not a complete Muggle!" Lucius let out a laugh,
"Dementors? I really doubt you've encountered such creatures and still live! Funny joke though!" That's when his eyes look down to Ginny, "Let me see... red hair, vacant expressions, tacky second-hand book." He pulled Ginny's Transfiguration Guide, you must be of the Weasley Family." He said. Arthur rested his hands on Ginny's shoulder, pulling her back,
"Children, it's mad in here let's get some air." He told them. His eyes met with Lucius's.
"Weasley."
"Lucius!"
"Busy time at the Ministry? All those extra raises?" Lucius asked. "I do hope they're paying you well. But judging by the state of this, I'd say not." He berated. "What's the point of being a disgrace to the name of Wizard if they're not even paying you well enough for it."
"We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of Wizard, Malfoy." Mr. Weasley said.
"Clearly, associating with muggles." He said, shoving Ginny's book back into her cauldron. "And just when I thought you and your family could sink no lower."
"You take that back; you prejudice cockroach!" Drayden shouted pulling his fist back ready to punch Lucius in the face.
"It's not worth it Drayden," Arthur said, "Least, not here." Lucius only smirked at the bold threat,
"Yes, you wouldn't want to be embarrassing your brother in front of all his classmates, would you?" Sora just appeared from right behind Lucius and Draco. "Where have you been?" Henry asked.
"Oh, I went to get some air, Because these freaks were making me feel, explosive," Sora said with a wink. Drayden grinned, understanding his message.
"See you at work!" Lucius sneered at Mr. Weasley.
"See you at school!" Malfoy said sarcastically to Harry. Just as they left the bookshop; Drayden snapped his fingers. That's when every single pocket on both Lucius and Draco's clothes exploded like Fireworks. The people around made attempts to hide their laughs; some didn't. Lucius and Draco looked back at the group, positively angered. But the two said nothing as they hurried to get away from all the commotion.
"That. Was. Amazing!" Ron told Sora, "What was that?!"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, they've told me to keep it a secret" Sora replies. Drayden was still bellowing with laughter, tears almost formed,
"That made all the rage worth it," he said. The group began saying their goodbyes to Harry and the Weasley's. They checked out all the supplies needed and headed out to the next store. After awhile Drayden finally asked, "So Trinity, how are you liking the Wizarding World so far?"
"It's... amazing! I never knew this kind of world could've ever existed" Trinity said.
"Wait 'til you see Hogwarts!" Henry said." It'll be so cool!" He turned to Sora, "By the way... Those were Fred and George pocket fireworks you slipped into The Malfoys pockets, weren't they?" Sora smiled,
"Guilty!"
"Yeah. Oh! Trinity!" Drayden jumped, "That list I gave you is a list of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Wizard Families," Drayden said, "Why don't you take a look at it." Trinity pulled out the paper, scanning it.
"I see the Weasley's and Malfoy's are on here. What about it?"
"Well, the Malfoys were- are Death Eaters," Drayden explained. "Our Mom's family, The Potters isn't on it because Potter is a common Muggle Surname. Now the Weasley Family, as you observed, are a non-prejudice wizard family." Drayden explained. "In the eyes of some; they're blood traitors. The Malfoy Family thinks they're better than everyone because they are a pure wizard family." He went on. "Which is complete garbage, Draco once stated that he thinks muggle-born witches and wizards like Hermione, for example, shouldn't be allowed into Hogwarts because of their birth!"
"It shouldn't matter though right? If they can still use magic?"
"That's my belief," Drayden added as they sat down to eat lunch at the Leaky Cauldron. "It's how mom raised Henry and me to be..."
"Yeah, and you saw what Hermione could do," Henry said. "It took me a month to master that spell." The four finished their lunch and resumed to continued shopping. Several hours passed, with the sun beginning to set. They decided to return home. Drayden made the decision, "I know we just restocked on Floo Powder, but...!" He raised his hand, and a flame appeared. "Deslagrate muri tempi et intervalia!" He chanted as he manipulated the flame around them in a flash of fire. They were back in Drayden and Henry's home in Daybreak Town.
