"So, Firs' Years" Hagrid the half giant care of magical creatures teacher bellowed "This term you'll be doin' some work wi' small creatures." Hagrid motioned behind him to a load of shoe box size crates.
"What's in the boxes?" Lily Potter asked looking suspiciously at the crates. Dracona peered closely at them as one box started to smoke
"They're Micro enchantable mimics" Hagrid said proudly as he opened the top of one of the crates. Inside was a mass of small white mice. As soon as they saw the school pupils staring in they transformed into minute students
"Wha-What the?" Abraxus said stumbling back into Abi who almost fell over.
"You'll be looking after the Mimics for th's term" Hadgrid said happily
"Can we get them to stay in one form?" Dracona asked as she looked down at the miniature version of herself in the box.
"Pick one up an' fo' home work get your mimic to assume one shape" Hagrid said as he dismissed the class early. Dracona reached down to pick up the miniature version of her. Curling her fingers delicately round the small figure she carefully carried up to the Castel.
"Hey Dracona!" Abi shouted from behind and Dracona waited for her and Abraxus to catch up.
"Whew, cool project right?" Abi asked as they walked through the corridors to the Southern Slytherin Dungeon like Common room.

Going past the Library Dracona smelt the smell of... Burning? Looking arouund wildly she saw a small cloud of smoke coming from the library.
"Abi! Smoke!" Dracona called as she peered into the Library. It was thick with black, acrid smoke. "Oh my God!" Abi called as she tried to see if anyone was in there.
"Go get a professor!" Dracona called as she rolled up her sleeves and headed for the room.

Dracona whipped out her wand and swept away all the smoke; she could see a couple of students in the back. Some in the corridors of the library, some slumped on the ground. Dracona looked around for Madame Pince who was fighting... A burning man?
"Get back child" Madame Pince called out as she tried to dispose of the flame but the warning was called out too late as the Burning humanoid rushed at Dracona. Dracona felt the creature grab her left arm and Dracona screamed as she felt the burn. In anger her wand let off enough sparks to cause the fire covered being to back off. Dracona tried to get it to retreat by sending bright flares of light at it but all that did was anger it. It came forward and lashed out. Madame Pince blocked it and began duelling again. Dracona started moving people out of the burning Library using a simple hovering charm. There was a lot of fire now and Dracona was having to be very careful not to get burnt any more than she was. Dracona heard someone call out her name and as she turned to see Louis Zabini a stack of books fell and everything went black.

"Is she going to be alright?"
"I should have stayed!"
"You did what you could have"
"Dracona was so brave!"
"Maybey she should have been in Gryffindor"
"She'a a Malfoy, enough said"
Dracona looked around groggily to see a large number of first year Slytherins huddling around her.
"Dracona!" Abi said happily "How are you?"
Dracona flexed her arms and legs and winced; her left arm was bad but everything else was ok
"I've been better" Dracona said as she looked around carefully
"where's my mimic?"
"here, I found it in the corridor" Abraxus said as he held up a small potions bottle.
"That's a bottle Abraxus" Dracona pointed out as she took it from him. Suddenly it transformed into a book and then a salamander with big black eyes and red scales.
"Or not" Abraxus teased. The Salamander curled up in Dracona's hand and fell asleap.
"so, when am I allowed to get out of here?" Dracona asked as she looked around her dull surroundings.
"Scorpius is just asking Madame Pomfret now" Abi answered as she looked down at a bunch of flowers.
"Kes?" Dracona asked
"Kes" Abi confirmed. Dracona sighed, Kestrel was like some fairy tale prince, ready to swoop her off into the sunset.
"Honestly he stayed through the whole of his free period just talking to you. You'd have thought you were going to die!" Abraxus exclaimed.
"Wait, how long have I been in here?"
"Only a couple of hours"
"A COUPLE OF HOURS!"
