Theodore woke up around midnight to the sound of footsteps outside his door and moved silently to see what exactly was happening out in the hall. He carefully, tiredly, but quietly, grabbed his wand off the side table and opened his door, gazing out to see Kagome descending the stairs. 'Peculiar...I believe we were told not to sneak out.' Making his way out of his room, he followed silently down the steps, being sure to keep a good ten-foot distance between the Gryffindor maiden and himself.

He was halfway out the door when a hand found its way to his mouth and another hand to his own hand which had made to remove the hand on his mouth.

He stilled and kept quiet at the hushed whisper in his ear of 'silence'. The hand fell from his mouth and took his hand, pulling him off in another direction until they were far enough from the house not to be heard outside of windows.

He knew it was Kagome; it just irked him to no end to have the girl touching him in such a familiar way.

"Why did you follow me!" She snapped, taking him by surprise since he hadn't really heard her upset yet.

"You woke me up, and we were told to not go sneaking around," He responded with his own proverbial tone of annoyance.

"...whatever, if you're going to follow, then you do as I say, or return back to the house now. Do you have your wand?"

"Of course!"

"Just making sure you git!" She made her way to a broom by a shed, "Have you learned Accio?"

"Mm,"

"Then get your broom."

-x-x-x-

Kagome wasn't really angry, she was just annoyed...she didn't want anyone following her, or getting hurt because of her. "If you're ready..." She said, leaving the statement open for Theodore. She didn't need to continue anyways as she was sure he understood what she was getting at.

"I'm ready," He muttered uncouthly.

Kagome sighed, "I wish you could get along with me..."

"Che, not bloody likely,"

The two kicked off into the air and she led him towards the Rocky Ridges in Area 6 of the Dragon Prefecture. It was a long fly there, but once she landed on the desolate rocky terrain, she didn't seem to take notice of the long trip they'd had to make to get there. She whispered Lumous and watched her wand brighten with light at the tip of it. Guiding Theodore into a large cavern near a sign where the two had landed, the sign read Area 6 and was nothing impressive when he thought of what Dragon Prefectures look like, or should look like.

"Keep silent," Kagome whispered as she moved to a torch on the side of the cave wall, muttering softly as she pointed her wand at the torch, "Incendio~" It burned brightly and she smiled as she took the torch in hand and made her way further into the cave, lighting more torches along the way. She came to a stop and handed the torch to Theodore who took it for her without question. "Saria~?"She heard the growl of the dragon, a warning to keep her distance. Kagome pulled out her wand and pointed it at Theodore who took a small step back, "Protego totalum!" A white shield formed around him before vanishing completely. She picked up a rock and tossed it in his general direction, smiling in satisfaction when it was shot to the side by the barrier she'd placed around him.

"Where did you learn that?"

"...I'm on Standard Book of Spells, volume three. Protego is a shield spell, and Protego Totalum is a spell similar used for a surrounding area. You are my surrounding area, so stay safe." Turning away, she walked up to the dragon before her, a female Norwegian Ridgeback with beautiful grey and green eyes. She stopped just before it. "Saria...vorel darastrix...Saria..."

The language was foreign to Theodore, but he watched and listened none the less, storing the spoken words away in the back of his mind for later research.

The dragon lifted its head and stared her over.

"Vorel, vorel...Saria." She never took her eyes away from the dragons and finally, the dragon pressed her snout into a now outstretched hand before lacing its snout on her shoulder. She smiled, patting it gently on the snout and running her hands over the scales of her long neck. "Vorel..." She whispered, closing her eyes and leaning softly against the dragon in a gentle embrace. "Saria, I want to get you moved somewhere brighter, understand?"

It stared into her eyes before it gave a bob of the head.

"I will make sure that there is an area with water, fields of green, and some other dragons with which you can be friendly with."

Smoke fumed from its nostrils and Kagome stepped back, waiting for the dragon to settle before walking up to her once more.

"Are you not lonely, Saria?"

Saria laid her head down on the cool, damp stone ground of the cave and closed her eyes.

"Saria, may I come back tomorrow, to take you out flying...I mean."

It graced her with a single opened eye before closing it and falling back to sleep.

Kagome removed the protection spell from Theodore and walked out of the cave, sighing as she watched Theodore place the torch back where they'd gotten it from. She was tired and annoyed, all rolled into one.

"What's wrong?"

"She doesn't want to move, I don't want her getting used to this place. She'll never be happy around other dragons then, and if that happens, she won't find a mate, or have a child..."

"Wait, why does it matter if she gives birth?"

"...female dragons need to birth at least once every one hundred years to retain life. It's hard to understand, but I'll try and explain. A baby, when it's born, will take a large amount of its mothers warmth, it keeps a dragon from over heating. That warmth is the Dragons magic, and if you leave it, it can cause problems with their body if it isn't carefully monitored then they become feral with the overpowering heat trapped inside."

Theodore frowned, "I guess that makes sense...how old is she?"

"She's nearing her first hundred, from what her papers indicated. Her registration papers were a little vague, but she's between the years of seventy and one hundred, they found her injured on a shoreline in Scotland, no tags or brands, nothing..."

"What do you mean, she was injured...?"

"Found with multiple wounds caused by magic, scarring around the left of her neck...and a rather large burn mark around her tail. She been attacked by a wizard...a strong one too..."

"Like who?"

"I don't have answers for everything, sadly..." Kagome sighed, "Look, I'm tired, I only wanted to check on her...let's head back before I'm too tired to fly back." She yawned, "I could really use a nap before tomorrow..." She moved to grab her broom which was lying against the sign only for Theodore to reach it before her and take it. He straddled the one he was using before holding his hand out to her.

"Get on."

"What...?"

"I said," He grabbed her hand and gave a slight pull, causing her to stumble into his arms. "Get on." He pushed off the ground with her on the broom in front of him and headed off back to her home, ignoring all of her yelling and death threats along the way, finally laughing at a couple of them as he landed at the spot they'd taken off from a little while ago, "You would have made a splendid Slytherin,"

"Humph, unlikely,"

He looked at the glare she was giving him and stepped forward, pressing himself up against her just barely, "I think it's more likely that you want to admit," He smirked, "You aren't how I imagined," He placed a finger under her chin and watched her cheeks flush brilliantly at the close contact, "...born a Weasley..." He leaned forward so that his lips were dancing beside her ear, "...destined to be a Slytherin..." He let his hands fall and walked off towards the house, leaving Kagome to stare flabbergasted at his retreating back.

She leaned back on the fence and slowly let herself slide to the ground. '...what...just happened...'

Draco woke up around eight, dressing quickly for the day; he walked down the steps and came face to face with his dragon counterpart, Drako. "...h-hello there..."

The dragon gazed at him, taking a step closer, tilting it's head as it sniffed him, eyes never leaving Draco's as he watched him carefully, hi snout moving across his shirt and pants, his neck and hands...Draco just watched in fascination until the dragon bit down on his hand similarly to the way he'd done to Kagome, only, this time he was pulling.

"He wants you to feed him,"

Draco looked up to see Blaise sitting at the table with a glass of white milk in front of him, he pointed behind Draco and Draco turned to see Charlie cooking.

Charlie hadn't even turned to see what Drako was doing, to know that it was requesting food. "Big freezer through that there door," Charlie pointed to the corner of the kitchen. "There's a bucket, just grab it and bring it inside. Don't take Drako with you, bloody oaf, he'll climb into the freezer and clean it out in seconds."

"R-right."

"Oi, did you see Kagome upstairs?"

Draco shook his head, "I would have thought she'd be up and downstairs already."

"Clearly you don't know her well enough yet,"

"Oh?" Draco frowned.

"Yeah, she is the worst when it comes to wakin' up. Little lass won't get up lest the house is on fire."

Blaise laughed, "I'll knock on her door and see if she's awake," He finished off his milk and headed upstairs, walking to Kagome's room as Draco grabbed the food for Drako. He entered back inside the kitchen, but didn't make it to Charlie before Drako's head found the bucket and devoured the freshly caught fish which had been placed in the freezer just that morning, around dawn's first light.

Blaise, who was upstairs knocking on Kagome's door, sighed as he got no response on the other side. Looking down the hall, he took note that Nott also wasn't awake yet, which, considering that the guy was usually up before most of the Slytherin's, year one through seven, it was odd that he wasn't awake yet. Though, it may be his internal alarm clock telling him to sleep in, it's the Christmas holiday, no school! He poked his head into Kagome's room and smiled, she was sleeping serenely on a black, four poster, ash wood bed with a canopy above it draping transparent white curtains falling around the bed. Covered mostly by her white sheets and comforter, raven hair positioned around her head much like a halo, and eyes hidden behind her eyelids. He watched her hand move up over her head and watched as her head turned away from her arm. Leaving the door wide open so not to anger the father downstairs, he entered the bedroom and pushed the see-through curtain aside and sat beside the girl on her bed. Gently shaking her, he watched her move slightly. "Kagome, it's time to wake up," He said softly, smiling at the quiet groan she gave before rolling over, facing away from him.

"No," Was her only response.

"You have to wake up, Kagome, your father made breakfast, and Draco is feeding Drako...come on...what happens if your pet takes a bite out of Draco?"

"Mmm~!" She moaned, lifting her head out of her pillow a bit to look at Blaise who was sitting next to her with a charming smile, "Not Draco,"

He looked up as Draco walked up to the door to see him sitting on the bed beside Kagome, "No Draco, what?"

"Drako can't eat Draco, because Draco is my very dear friend,"

"Is that so..." Blaise stood and made his way to the door, brushing the curtain aside once more, walking over to Draco who was looking curiously at him; using a very peremptory tone as he gazed into his best friends eyes, "Well?" He placed a hand on Draco's shoulder as he pushed him inside Kagome's room, "Go wake her up."

Draco stumbled forward at the shove and turned to say something only to find the his childhood friend had abandoned him and closed the door on him as well. Sighing, he made his way to Kagome's bed, brushing the curtain out of his way before pausing mid-step at the sight before him. He wasn't sure why it affected him, he'd seen many people sleep before, both guys and girls, but he couldn't recall a time when his heart had skipped a beat or his breath had been caught in his throat for any of them. Kagome however, "Kagome..." He spoke softly, brushing her bangs aside, "You need to get up...we're going flying today, remember?"

"Mmm...will you go with me to see Saria? I promised her that I'd take her flying last night..."

"Last night?" He frowned, "You snuck out, didn't you!" No longer whispering, "Kagome, that's dangerous! Lance told us not to do anything stupid!" He didn't notice the shadow peering out from beneath the door, "I know you grew up here, and you're used to dragon's and such, but what if something would have happened to you? No one would have been there, your dad would have flipped, I would have flipped!"

Kagome frowned, now sitting up straight, wide awake with teary eyes, "But I didn't go alone, Theodore followed me last night."

Draco stared surprised, not sure what to say, he turned away and walked to the door, "Come downstairs when you're dressed, your dad made breakfast." He left her room without another word, unsure as to why it bothered him, knowing Theodore had accompanied her late in the night, and he...he had stayed safely tucked away in his bed. "Che..."
