I looked up to face Lily staring at me. What was with this girl? I want to be alone I hate people, I hate witches, I hate..EVERYTHING. I quickly scratched out the answers to some of my final papers. I put one hand around the necklace gently, but jerked my hand off. I would not change.not in the library, any how. I returned to my work and ignored Lily's gaze as long as I could. I finally looked up again challenging her, forcing her to look away, when she finally did I snorted. I was dominate. Always and forever. I finished my Potions assignment, and turned to Transfiguration. I looked up and she was looking at me, again. I was getting deeply annoyed. I got up and walked over to her.

"What is it?" I asked roughly, but softly so the librarian wouldn't get upset.

"You aren't normal," she said just as softly and l met her eyes, and I saw what she saw. She knew I wasn't normal.even for a warlock, but she wasn't sure what. She needed a lead, something to tell her who and what I am.

"Of course I'm not normal. I'm a wizard after all."

"Not that way, Stupid. You know what I mean."

"I.don't know what you're talking about," I said, shifting my weight to my right foot.

"Ah, but alas you do.," as she said that she looked at me intensely, this time I wanted to turn away but could not. What spell was this? What creature is she? No one, nothing, had this control over me. I wasn't going to let a girl win. I turned up the heat and glared having my eyes waver silver and back. She finally turned and left. I smiled crookedly, and finished my paper. I had a few more assignments to do, but it was getting late, and I was getting tired. I had one last thing to check out before anything else. Who was this strange and alluring challenger of mine, Lily Evans? There must something. To stare at me, look me in the face, and only to figure out what I am. I went to the Forbidden Section of the library unnoticed. I sifted through books, Mythical Creatures Pairings FYI. Amusing enough title. I shoved it into my shirt and winced at its coldness against me. I strolled out of the Forbidden Section quietly and made a short show of gathering my papers. I got upstairs and went to the top bunk.

"Microlumos," I said, and in saying thus a small, comforting light came on. I looked over the book. Inside were pictures of how certain hybrid creatures look, or will look when full grown. I found one of a werewolf and nymph. It was a beautiful young lady. Small and delicate, quite like my mother but there was something mysterious that drew you toward her. They had no male pictures for such a pairing. I wasn't as astonished as I would have hoped to have been.

I flipped through and found awkward combinations there were some odd ones I did not want to know about, such as: Centaurs and Dragons, Mermen and one of Cerberus' spawn, Vampires and Sirens (those things in Greek mythology, not those annoying little things on police cars), Griffins and Witches.enough of that. I sifted through the book and bent the page of ones that looked human. When I was through, here were my matches, and all of them were rather amusing.

1. Werewolves and witches 2. Vampires and werewolves 3. Humans and gargoyles 4. Witches and gargoyles 5. Mermaids and wizards 6. Mermen and dragoyles (combination of gargoyles and dragons) 7. Vampires and witches 8. Nymphs and any given creature 9. Taurus and most any of its victims that naturally have a human-like form

I definitely have a lot of work to do.
