'Run. Just keep running.' I quickly turned left to get up the stairs and of course because I was wearing a pair of two size big black socks, I went sliding across the wooden floor and slammed into a wall. Luckily the precious cargo in my hand was unharmed. I looked back up through my dark blue hair with my light blue almost silver eyes glancing everywhere. 'Please don't find me,' was my only thought as I pushed myself up so that I was at my full height, which isn't very tall. I swear I was adopted 'cause my two older brothers are like a bazillion feet tall.
My name is Jack Dragon and I'm a witch. Yep you best believe it. Now see I live with my two older brothers. My parents died when I was at a very young age. We're purebloods but we don't flaunt it in others faces. And we're not the type of purebloods who stay in the same house at Hogwarts. See my eldest brother was in Slytherin and my second eldest in Ravenclaw. From what they tell me I'll most likely be in Gryffindor. Now our family has a talent. We are natural animagi. And we all turn into wolves. It's pretty cool. If you look at my brothers and I in our forms you will see it is difficult to tell us apart.
Our coat is blonde, undercoat a lighter blonde, and the very top down our back and to the tip of our tails is black. All of our eyes are blue too. Seto is the darkest and thickest. He is fit for brute strength. Desoto is thinner but not very fast. He is a strategist. Then there is me I'm the thinnest and the fastest. I'm definitely built for speed. I also have the lightest coat.
The sound of footsteps sent me hauling ass back towards the stairs. I quickly ran up them and went around a right corner catching myself on the corner before my face could once again have a nice little meeting with the floor. I just made it to the door at the end of the hall when a sudden force on my back knocked me to the floor and taking the object out of my hand. "Damnit James! I'm going to fucking kill you!" I yelled as I got back up and tackled him to the floor.
James Potter is my best friend … well actually he's my only friend. How pathetic is that? He's a little tall for our age and has messy black hair that stick out everywhere. His blue eyes shine brightly behind his glasses. He comes from another pure blood family. They are all from Gryffindor. He knows practically everything about my family and we often stay at each other's houses. I have I terrible fear of the dark and often end up snuggling up with James. He knows about the animagus thing and says all the time he wishes he could do it. He doesn't understand how hard it is to keep control of our instincts though.
"No way Jack, this one is mine!" He yelled. He held the last cupcake away from me since as I said … I'm vertically challenged.
"You've already had four!" I screamed back.
"So did you!"
"The cupcake likes me more!"
"The hell it does!" He pushed me off of him and tried to stand back up but he slipped and the cupcake went flying through the air. It was almost as if it were in slow motion. Suddenly a hand appeared and caught the poor thing. James and I looked from the hand and followed the arm up to the owner of said hand.
He was tall probably around twenty. His hair was dark blonde and long about an inch under his shoulder. It was pulled back by a black silk ribbon and a slight stubble on his cheeks. His dark blue eyes looked down at us with a smile as he raised the cupcake up to his mouth and took a bite out of it. I could feel my mouth drop in surprise and I was positive that James had done the same. "Hey thanks guys," Seto, my eldest brother said and smirked down at us before calmly walking away.
As soon as he got to the top of the stair case he then sped off down them. James and I weren't far behind him. We were half way down the stairs we both jumped and landed on the bastard. The crash resounded through the house and the yelling most likely could be heard by Desoto in his study and it was only a matter of time before – "GODDAMNIT!"
"Uh oh," all three of us said as we stared fearfully up at the stair case as the stomping of feet got closer. They quickly turned into the sound of paws running down the hall. Seto and I quickly changed ourselves before Desoto pounced down, and because I'm an easier target, aimed for me. We rolled across the floor nipping and growling. Seto quickly joined in before we all jumped away from each other. Another trick we have is that we can speak to humans in our animagi forms.
"Shut up! I'm trying to get my summer reading over with and finish rewriting my notes!" Desoto yelled before looking directly at Seto, "And you're a teacher you should be working on your plans! Not only that but we leave for Hogwarts in two days and we haven't gone to Diagon Alley for school supplies yet."
"I can't believe I'm related to such a nerd," Seto and I said at the same time hanging our heads and sighing before yelping and jumping out of the way of a pissed off Desoto.
"Shut up or I'll transfigure you both into ferns," he growled out before changing back. Desoto was a tall thin boy. He had light blonde hair neatly cut and neatly styled. His eyes are a sky blue and right now narrowed in our direction. He growled and walked back up the stairs.
"Ah, he loves us," I said with a cheeky smile as I changed back.
"Oh yeah, big time," Seto replied sarcastically. We then looked over to see James sitting with a bag of popcorn clapping like he had just seen the best movie ever.
"Wooh! Awesome!" he yelled and continued to clap. I smirked and gave a big bow. Seto just sighed and walked into the kitchen.
"James your parents want to know if you're going to Diagon Alley with us!" he called from the kitchen.
"Hellz yeah he's going with us," I yelled out and jumped on his back. He gave me a piggy back ride into the kitchen and I slid off his back. Seto was writing a letter to the Potters telling them we were leaving for Diagon Alley and that we would be back later and saying that we would send James back tomorrow so he could go to the platform with them.
