Chapter 26

Hermione stayed still in the fourth years dorms as Alex and Kagato left to go to the feast. After they had passed by she shook her head in disbelief and thought to herself.

"A werewolf? A full-blooded werewolf, here? And she just forgave him?"

Hermione went into the room, grabbed her hat and left for the feast. When she got to the doors of the Great Hall, she noticed that it was quiet, too quiet. She whispered to herself as she opened the doors.

"Malfoy must have told the whole school."

Hermione slipped inside and gasped. There were about ten men in blue and silver cloaks standing on either side of the Gryffindor table. Melody appeared behind Alex as Hermione slipped over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down.

"Chosen one, you will come with us. You must leave here now. It's not safe for you here."

Dumbledore stood up, the twinkle gone from his eyes.

"Miss Draconia, I have told you several times that Miss Reese is not leaving this school. She is safer here than with you. Now please leave, you are upsetting the students."

Melody glared at Dumbledore then took Alex by the arm, forcing her to her feet. Kagato looked at Melody and it seemed that there was a low growl coming from him. Ron raised his eyebrow and looked at Harry who just shrugged. Cat whispered to Kagato.

"Kagato, don't. Stay calm my friend. They aren't leaving here with her. Trust me."

Melody shook her head, tightening the grip on Alex's arm, which made her yelp slightly in pain.

"I am taking her. You can not stop me Dumbledore."

Ron and Kagato both stood up. Melody raised an eyebrow as Alex struggled to get free from her grip.

"Let go of me! I'm staying here!"

"No little one, you are coming with us. You have much to learn. We have to undo the lies that they've told you."

"Oi! Don't call me that!"

"Let go of her Melody. Now! No one has lied to her except her family. "

Kagato now had a hold of Alex's other arm. All of the Gryffindors had stood up now. A few students from the other houses had climbed on top of their tables to get a better look at what was going on. Melody looked at Kagato's hand holding Alex's arm, then into his eyes, which were now golden yellow. She gasped, pulled Alex close to her and out of Kagato's reach. Cat climbed across the table and started to go to Kagato when one of the druids grabbed her.

"Let go of me before you regret what you just did."

Melody smirked.

"Ha! The great Mondragon. And just what do you think you are going to do?"

Cat smiled and waved her hand, the bracelet around her wrist started glowing.

"Just this."

A light formed under Alex. Suddenly there was no floor beneath her. Alex screamed and vanished from Melody's grasp. She had disappeared completely. Kagato and Ron turned around and stared at Cat. Harry looked as shocked as everyone else did in the room.

"Where did she go?"

Everyone started whispering Melody looked as though she could kill Cat. She shook her head and the druids vanished. Melody walked over to Cat and whispered in her ear.

"This is not over. Not even close."

Melody vanished and the Hall immediately erupted into conversation. Cat waved her hand again and Alex appeared next to Kagato, looking a bit shaken. Dumbledore had left the teachers table, his face extremely angry, and walked over to Cat. He took her by the arm and steered her out of the Hall.
