CHAPTER TEN: Announcements
I think I may have to dedicate this chapter to Lady Hawk because I think I might use all of her ideas!!!
This chapter has a few of sentimental moments and a lot of people interrupting each other, be advised. I FINALLY got over my writer's block!! Hip Hooray!!
Just as everyone entered the Great Hall, hundreds of owls swooped in. Except this time, instead of doing what they normally do, delivering mail, many owls flew over to Daine and perched on her. She blushed as they hooted and brushed up against her.
~Thank you for greeting me like this but I think it would be best if you did whatever you should be doing now.~ Daine said with her mind.
The owls took off and returned to their duty. The giant Hall was silent as the students and teachers of Hogwarts stared at the newcomers. Dumbledore cleared his throat. The few whispered conversations that had been started stopped and people's eyes shifted from the strange new people to their Headmaster.
"I see you all have noticed our guests. Do to a magical incident three of our students and two teachers were taken to their world. While attemping to send these five back, Master Numair, Daine Sarrasri, Sir Alanna and Baron George were taken as well. And as most of you saw there is a dragon among them, but do not panic. If you would wish to see the creature or find out more see our guests after classes. I would like you all to treat our guests with the utmost respect until we can send them home. Classes are resuming as normal so I suggest you finish your breakfest." Dumbledore said with a smile as he stared at the muddled faces. He then turned to the four (five including Kitten) behind him. "You are free to roam, if you would like I can show you around and to your rooms." They all nodded and as the students left the Great Hall to get to their classes, Dunbledore led them around the school. (A/N I would describe their tour but I know it will be boring, so I won't :))
*story follows Ron, Hermione, and Harry as they go to Care of Magical Creatures class*
"I can't believe we're home. I didn't realize that I actually missed it." said Ron as they left the castle and made their way across the lawn.
"I know, it feels like we have been away for so long. I will have so much work to catch up on!!!" Hermione had begun to get frantic thinking about her upcoming tests. "And S.P.E.W!! I haven't recruited anyone for ages!"
"You know Daine might like to be a part of that. She's always willing to help animals and--" Harry was cut off mid sentence by a familiar drawl.
"New friends Potter? I would have thought now with your new friends you would dump Weasley and the mudblood. But maybe they saw you for what you are and decided they didn't want--" Malfoy, flanked on each side by Crabbe and Goyle was in turn cut off by Hagrids roar of happiness.
"Harry! Harry! Was that a real dragon Harry? What breed? How old? Who does it belong to? Male or female?" Hagrid bombarded Harry with questions and Harry answered as best he could. Finally Hermione told Hagrid that it would be best if he asked Daine about the dragon later and started to teach his class now. "Oh, righ' then."
The class was going on like usual, today they were learning about Aramyanteres (small, hard working creatures that liked to live in caves and ate decaying flesh) when Dumbledore's tour came to a halt about fifty yards away.
"This would be the end of the tour, any questions?" could be faintly heard. Moving Tortallan lips could be seen, but the words were inaudible. Then an owl swooped down and Dumbledore rushed off to the castle. The tortallans stood there until Harry finally decided to wave them over.
"Hello Harry." George said calmly All of a sudden the care of magical creatures class surrounded the tortallans. The one thing that could be heard above all the murmurs was Hagrid's "A dragon?" he managed to squeak out. The group became silent. Hagrid was staring at Kitten with over bright eyes. Kittne sat up on her hindquarters and chirped, her paw extended. Hagrid squatted and gave her his finger. The sight was so sentimental that not even Malfoy made a sound.
"Her name is Kitten, well Skysong really." Daine commented after a few moments of the silence.
"She's so small. How long 'ave you had her? Where d'ya get her? A dealer?"
"I've had her for about four years, she's only four years old and I didn't get her from a dealer. Dragons in Tortall cannot be controlled by two leggers-- humans. Her ma died protecting my friends. She left her in my care right before she died."
A single tear rolled down Hagrid's face. Just as Hagrid opened his mouth Malfoy found his voice.
"'Left her in my care'?" Malfoy questioned, a smug look on his face. "That's the biggest load of mudblood dung I have ever heard. The dragon just said here you go have my baby while I die! You probably sent her to her death!"(I know Malfoy is REALLY out of character but I really don't like him so he needs to be out of character so he can be trashed. I should have said this in the beginning, I started this fic to harm characters I don't like and be nice to characters I do ;))
Alanna jumped into a fighting stance, angered by what MAlfoy had said. George too was ready to fight and Numair looked even angrier, his magic had begun to sparkle around his hands, ready. But their anger was nothing compared to Daine's. Her face had become pale with fury; the animals in the Forbidden Forest had become silent, ready and waiting to be called upon. Daine took a step towards Malfoy and the care of magical creatures class took a step back.
"How dare you. How dare you insult me and even think I would EVER do such a thing. Kit's ma's death was a pierce through my heart. When animals get hurt I feel it" Daine said thumping her chest for emphasis. She was slowly, ever so slowly, walking towards Malfoy; Alanna, George, and Numair at her back. Not even Crabbe and Goyle were standing by Malfoy, scared away by the look on Daine's face and the sudden silence Malfoy didn't seem to notice. But just as Daine was going to say something else, and from the looks of it, attack Malfoy, Kitten jumped out from where she had been sitting behind Daine. Kitten had heard the insult in Malfoy's voice and felt the pure hatred rising in Daine, so she acted. Her jaws clamped around Malfoy's leg and applied pressure.
Malfoy screamed a scream similar to the one Ozorne made when Daine killed him and Kitten released him. It appeared that Kitten had stole Malfoy's smug face, for she was very happy with herself.
"Kit!" Daine yelled, her voice filled with surprise, not anger. Kitten simply looked at her with a look on her face that said, 'he deserved it'. The class was brought out of their shock and Hagrid picked up Malfoy not at all nicely and took him to the castle, muttering something about the familiarity of the situation.
"Trash Snape, trash Malfoy, I really like you guys!" Ron murmured to the tortallans as they atched Malfoy be carried away. Then the class was over and they headed to their next, all of them wondering if the next class would be as interesting as the first.
