Minerva McGonagall paced the Great Hall from side to side not knowing what to do. For the past three days she'd been filled with fear and to the point of tears. Her hands trembled and she was glad that most the students had all left this morning to their homes for the Christmas vacations. The ones who were left were asleep; or at least she hoped they were sleeping. One thing she did know was that if any of them came here looking for her she'd break in front of them.
She was not the only one with her in the Great Hall, Snape and Hagrid stood side by side watching McGonagall. Twice she had changed into her Animagus, then back to her human form. Twice she had stopped at the center of the room and twice she had whispered one word. They did not need to be near her to know whose name she was calling.
Just as Snape was about to speak up, the doors to the Great Hall flew open. None other than the Head Master of Hogwarts come in; in his arms he carried the unconscious form of a young woman. On her side all three could see blood.
Minerva rushed to Dumbledore, "Albus, what…what…"
Dumbledore's own clothing was ripped and muddy. His face filled with anger as he looked at McGonagall. "An ambush! Forty Death Eaters where guarding the Old Manor."
Hagrid and Snape had made their way toward the two of them. Hagrid gasped when he saw the pale color on the young woman's face Snape did not say a thing as he took her from Dumbledore's arms and hurried past him to wards the Hospital Wing; were everything had been arranged in case something like this did happen.
"Hagrid, the Antaris followed me back. Go accommodate them," Dumbledore ordered never taking his eyes from McGonagall's.
"Aye, Dumbledore!"
The moment Hagrid had left them alone. Dumbledore took the few steps closer to Minerva that lay between them and wrapped his arms around her trembling body. She finally able to let all those tears free buried her face on his chest; her arms going around his waist.
"Shhhh…It's ok Minerva. It's going to be alright. She'll be ok." Dumbledore whispered into her hair.
Minerva pulled slightly away from, her eyes still filled with tears. "Oh Albus, when I got your letter three days ago…When I read that she'd been kidnapped by the Death Eaters…"
Dumbledore whipped away the tears from her cheeks, "Charles and Monica…they did their best to protect her. I saw signs of a battle when I first enter their home. I thank them were ever they are…even though they were only muggles…"
"They loved her…" Minerva whispers. "How did he find her?"
Dumbledore's body tensed, "That is something I intend on finding out!"
In the mean time in the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry and Ron sat by the fire. When a loud roar by their window made them both jump. Both looked at each other and then back at the window.
"What do you think that was?" Ron asked.
Harry shook his head, "No idea."
Another roar made them get up and take a look out side. To their amazement Hagrid was guiding to of the most beautiful looking dragons either of them had seen. One was of glowing white, with deep purple eys. Gold wrist bracelets on its front legs, adorned with jewels. The other was a black one, with golden eyes. On its neck a red collar with blue gems on it. Both dragons followed the small form of Hagrid as he took them into the Forbidden Forest and as their tails come into view Ron gasped.
"Antaris Dragons!"
Harry stared at him, "Antar-what?"
"Antaris Dragons, Harry!" Ron exclaimed jumping up and down.
"Care to explain?"
"Harry, what do you know about Elementals?"
