Translucent Moonlight

Disclaimer: Drake Cerberus and the exchange are mine. Kelly is um well Kelly. The rest belongs to J.K. Rowling. Anyway this is about an exchange wizard for South Africa, cause that's where I'm from so deal. Okay then, enjoy =^-^=
Note: Okay I have a pic of Drake but you're gonna have to a: Email me or B: review me and ask for the pic.
I really do love this story but I feel like I'm neglecting it because of my other story, Insomnia. I hope that is not the case because this one is so special to me. It's my baby and Drake is my boy! (Big brother SA joke, even though I hated it like nobody's business) I wish I could spend more time on this I really do but so damn I'm busy. So please forgive me if this is not updated as frequently as we'd all like it to be. There is a way of knowing when I update, I send a message thru Damien's ML (the address can be found on my bio page thingy), please join? He'd love you forever.
This chapter's beginning is sounding so gay to me and it's not really on purpose so please don't flame me for slash because you have been warned. There is nothing that makes me madder than being flamed for something that had a warning or someone that says "I don't read slash" but they where and they knew they where.
Oh and I know I can't spell: I'm not English to begin with, in Afrikaans. If you don't believe me that's your problem.
Okay Now I feel bad, sorry, I didn't mean to attack anybody, so very, very sorry.
Thanks to: Keara Jordan, Damien, Ice Crystal and all my other reviewers

Drake gave Kelly one lasts great big squeeze and then let her go. He turns to go back to the hall but sees Draco still standing there holding Teardrop. He walks over and takes Teardrop from him and then pulls him into a one armed side hug. "Draco I'm so sorry for running out, trust me it's not your fault and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings in anyway. It's just that everyone was taking to me all at once and telling me what to do and no one cared what I wanted and it was too much. All I needed was to get out of there and get a hug, which Kelly so graciously gave to me."
Drake let go of Draco and stood before him, his emerald eyes twinkling with sincerity. "Please forgive me for my rudeness." He asked and Draco couldn't help but smile at the other boy. "I'll forgive you, if you sit with me in at lest in 3 classes. Deal?" and with that Draco held out his hand for Drake to shake, which Drake took graciously and kissed "Deal."
"You're weird." Kelly remarked with a giggle. Drake only smiled at her mischievously and said "I know." He said and took hold of Draco's hand, who mind you was still in shock from the kiss, and lead him back to the Great Hall. The whole hall got quite as the three of them entered and all seemed to frown in confusion when they saw that Drake was practically dragging Draco into the hall.
All except Harry who looked absolutely horrified, Pansy who was sneering angrily and Snape who smile a self satisfactory smile because he thought that he had finally convinced someone that Potter was bad news. That feeling was short lived when Drake let go of Draco's hand and sent him to the Slytherin table.
The, with a deep breath for courage, he walked up to where Harry, Ron and Hermione where sitting. "Hi guys" he greeted as he sat down next to Harry. Harry tried to say something but Drake held up his hand for silence. "Let me say something first. Thank you for the warning, I'll be careful but I won't abandon Draco. If he's father really is one than Draco might need saving, just like the rest of us." The three of them all looked down at their now empty plates, they hadn't thought of that. After what seemed like forever Harry looked up at Drake
"I am sorry; I shouldn't have told you what to do. It's just that I had a dream about you-know-who and he's after you. I was only trying to help." At this Drake seemed to pale and he replied quietly: "That's alright, but you should have told me the reason. Why is Volde-wart after me?" The joke seemed to lift their spirits a little and even Hermione smiled at it. "Something about a Wolfclaw, do you know what it is?" Ron asked and looked hopeful at Drake, but Drake only shook his head and frowned "No, but it must have something to do with my family history."
"He did say something about Cerberus tamers. What exactly is a Cerberus?" Harry asked but before Drake could answer Hermione chipped in. "Cerberus was the dog that guarded the gate to the underworld." She said and sat back with a smile of satisfactory on her face which soon disappeared when Drake spoke "That's not all there is to it, Cerberus was a three headed dog, each head more deadly than the last. It was said that to tame it would give the tamer immortality because he would be able to move in and out of the gate as he pleased. But that's only a legend there are no three headed dogs."
Harry, Hermione and Ron had become very pail as Drake spoke and they all glared at each other nervously. "You're wrong, there are three headed dogs; we met one in our first year." Ron said "Yes, its name was Fluffy, but I don't think it was the guardian of the gate to the underworld, it was too busy guarding the philosopher's stone." Hermione said and Drake looked like he was gonna faint. "Oh, that changes things…"
But before they could talk any more on this matter Dumbledore stood up from his seat at the teacher's table. "Well now good morning students I hope you all had a pleasant night's rest. I see that Mr. Cerberus is still with us so it seems he didn't die of embarrassment last night after we all when to bed. All the arrangements have been made concerning him so he doesn't have anything to worry about. Now to get to the matters that where neglected last night. First off no exchange students will earn or lose points for their houses; this does not mean that they will not be getting detentions if they misbehave. This is after all still a school. Also since there are seven of them they will form their own Quidditch team. This will not affect the Quidditch cup but will only help build bonds between them and maybe between ourselves too. Treat each other with respect; we are all civilised people after all.
After this the school anthem was sung (Fred and George spelled out every word) and all set off to their first class of the day. Most of them with hopes and dreams for the coming year, but two of them; Harry and Drake hoped to merely get through the year without being attacked by death eaters or worst, Voldemort himself.
To be continued…
