Dragon Tree

     *~*~*~*~Chapter 2*~*~*~*~

A dark haired girl stared out the window of the Hogwarts Express. Sadness filled her eyes as she heard the thunder. It sounded so much like the roaring dragon her heart ached for.  It was raining outside, actually more like pouring. Looking at the trees fly by she realized how different this world was compared to hers. Wizards had to hide from non-wizards, dragons were not capable of speech and witches weren't evil. It was messed up. Exiled from her own world, she a convict. It was shameful. But Thlor deserved what he got, even if no one believes me. They never believe kids I'm almost 500 years old though!  

She had been separated from her dragon for causing the death of her world's leader and also calling him a Yatashi in front of thousands of people. The punishment to call someone a Yatashi who wasn't one was very severe. Either way she had been trapped in a corner. She had killed her world leader without shame or guilt and called him a Yatashi to top it off. Thlor's advisors cast her off to a random world separating her and her beloved dragon Gekkani. Gekkani, who always was with her, had never left side, even when she was a hatchling. Now she was separated from him and every time she thought of him it felt like someone was stabbing a knife through her heart. It hurt, it hurt a lot and she was lonelier than she ever had been in her life. There was a sudden knock on the door. Two boys came in.

They both had both dark hair and were both very handsome. The one on the right had hair that looked like a mess that you could never straighten out. The one on the left had smooth feathery hair that look very easy to brush. Both of them had a mischievous gleam in their eyes. It made her skeptical weather to trust them or not. 

"Hullo! I'm Sirius Black, it's absolutely spiffing to meet you." He said holding out his hand for her to shake. The other boy pushed his hand away roughly and took her hand.

"James Potter at your service and I must say you are a very fine damsel indeed." he took lightly kissed it. A rather scruffy looking boy came in after them. He had brown hair with gentle brown eyes and he wore second hand robes. He looked like he had more problems than he ever needed. Cocking an eyebrow at both James and Sirius he spoke to her.

"What they mean to say is can we share a compartment with you?" he asked very politely for a boy his age. His voice sounded tired and strained. Which she thought was odd. "I'm Remus Lupin it's a pleasure to meet you." She kept a nonchalant face the whole time they were introducing themselves. She nodded to them, and went back to staring out the window.

"She's a talkative one isn't she?" Muttered Sirius to James, James nodded agreeing with him. She was absolutely beautiful though, with black hair coming down to her waist and blue eyes, which were filled with so much pain and sorrow it hurt James's soul to look into them. She was wearing dark green robes with muggle clothes under them. She was like a hurt sparrow that he couldn't help and James didn't like that.

Seeing the leather knapsack next to her, Sirius grabbed it, and looked through it trying to find something interesting. His eyes lit up and he pulled out a small canvas with a painted silver and gold dragon on it. The dragon was laughing and waving in the picture and looked very happy. All three boys stared at the painting.

"You're a really good artist," said Lupin looking at the painting "Did you draw this?" Alias turned around and saw her knapsack in Sirius's arms her face was contorted with fury but relaxed a little when she saw they were only looking at her painting. The dragon's scales shimmered in the bright sunlight. Its sharp teeth were showing while it laughed. It looked real.

"Wow." Breathed Lupin staring at the painting he stared at it some more "Did you draw this?" he asked amazed. The girl turned to them her stoic face showed surprise as she saw they had her bag.

"Hmmm… you went through my things? Yes, yes I drew that and painted it." she shrugged like it was nothing and grabbed her knapsack back from Sirius. Looking through it she made sure they didn't break anything and put it in her lap.

"We never caught you name?" said Lupin asking what each of them were itching to ask. She looked at them with sad, sorrow filled eyes, and spoke.

"It's Alias. Alias Gekkani."

A/N: Hey! Hope you liked it!! I've been playing this idea for some time now and am glad to get it on paper. Beta reader wanted please!! BTW… sorry its so short writers block is evil….

Hatchling- Alias's term for babies or toddlers.

Yatashi- Offensive term for evil being. People in Alias's world can be severely punished by saying this and it isn't true.

Gekkani- Alias's dragon. The name means 'in the moonlight' in Japanese. I couldn't find a good name in Latin.
