Oh yeah and I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. I've been working on my other story, but I'll put that one aside until I have finished this one. I only have two or three chapters left to write!!! So enjoy this one!!!!

Alanna and George casually roamed the halls of Hogwarts thinking over the events of the morning. Two main topics in the discussion were the magnitude of Daine's anger and kitten's bite.

They had learned that Malfoy did things like this all of the time and his father would be at Hogwarts shortly, yelling and screaming at Dumbledore most likely. The Minister of Magic was suppossed to arrive as well. Numair, Kitten, and Daine had gone to their rooms after talking to Dumbledore. Daine was still shaking with anger when they had last seen her. Numair said he was going to 'comfort' her, which left Alanna and George free to roam.

Alanna leaned heavily against George as they strolled along, talking of many things. They were being so quiet that the two red-headed freckled twins ahead of them did not notice them coming.

"Hurry up Fred, you gotta pick this lock before someone comes."

"No one will come George, hold on a minute. I just can't quite get the pin into the catch."
Alanna and Geoge watched with amusement as the two twins argued. Finally George walked up to George (this could get confusing) and tapped him on the shoulder.

"This may be of some helps lads." George Cooper said as he handed George Weasley a lock pick. Fred took the pick silently and stared wide-eyed at George.

"They work a little better than pins. Don't worry I don't care much what lock you're picking." Alanna walked over to her husband and smiled at the twins. Fred pushed the pick into the lock and jiggled it there was a click and the door opened.

"Thanks," said Geoge W. still a little stunned. "We've been trying for ages to get this door open. It isn't magical so students can't get into it. The lock is real complicated." George W. and Fred held out their hands Alanna and George C. took and shook them.

"What's in there that is so interesting?" questioned Alanna, intrigued by these red-haired twins that reminded her of Thom and herself.

"Oh, well nothing, just some of Filch's confiscated items." Fred answered.

"Filch?" George asked

"Argus Filch, the caretaker and head of security at Hogwarts." Fred answered again.

"He confiscates all sorts of things from students. Fred and I tried for years to figure out where he puts all the stuff. Turns out its this closet that only appears in this hallway on full moons." George W. continued.

"I see. So you've broken into this closet to find all of the interesting things that Filch had collected over the years." Alanna said, smiling.

"Yep!" Commented Fred, as they entered the closet.

"Well then we'll leave to your endeavors. The best of luck to you." Alanna said as the twins explored deeper into the closet. Alanna and George left and continued there walk down the hall. They had just passed a gargoyle statue when they heard furious yelling coming from behind them. Dumbledore was standing there as a large man with a pale face, pinted nose, and blond hair yelled at him. When the man stopped to breathe Dumbledore put i his two cents.

"Now Lucius, the dragon only acted in defense. It will not be put to death, she belongs to guests of ours, guests that aren't even from around here. The dragon isn't even like normal dragons. So I bid you good day." Dumbledore told the fuming Mr. Malfoy.

Mr. Malfoy's pale face got real red and he stomped off down the hall. Dumbledore turned to Alanna and George.

"Some parents get so angry when their sons are bitten by dragons. No you needn't worry about Skysong, Lucius will not be allowed to do anything to her." Dumbledore told them correctly interpretting their faces. "I need to vist Professor McGonagall, if you'll escuse me." He then turned and walked down to the hall, opposite the direction Mr. Malfoy.

"I don't like this Malfoy character, leaves a bad taste in my mouth." George commented after Dumbledore had left.

"Niether do I. Let's go see how Daine is doing." Alnna suggested, and they both walked to Daine's room.

They were only a few steps away from Daine's room when they ran into Mr. Malfoy. Litereally.

"Watch where your going!" Mr. Malfoy yelled, drawing his wand. He had barely pointed it at them, before George had an arm around his neck and a knife drawn.

"Put that thing away, before you hurt someone." George whispered into his ear. Mr. Malfoy put his wand away and George released him. Glaring, Mr. Malfoy stalked off.

"What was that all about?" Alanna asked.

"Let's find out." George replied as he opened Daine's door.

Inside they found Daine holding Kitten and Numair holding Daine. All three of them looked up at George and Alanna.

"What was Mr. Malfoy doing around your rooms?" Alanna asked, looking worried.

"Oh he just came in and told me to say goodbye to Kitten. Then Kitten trilled and Numair yelled at him and he left." Daine responded in a angry tone.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, we're okay. I just want to go home."

"I think we all do." Numair interjected.

Little did they know that their wish would come true shortly.
