Before them, next to the attractive, spiky haired and always cheerful James, was the most gorgeous guy they had ever seen. However that was not the shocking part, what made it really shocking was the fact that he looked exactly like a younger version of George, the man that had perished in the strange diary. His same blue eyes, his same sweet smile and his same freckles over his nose and cheeks. He stared at them in a rather nervous way and waved sheepishly as if wondering what to expect from the curious group in front of him. James smiled, "hey girls, am I gonna have to feel jealows? This is my cousin, Alex" he said grinning and pointing at the boy with a theatrical bow. Alex laughed sofly and his cheeks stained in a deep crimson, "er...hi" he said shyly. Nell smiled kindly, "hello, I'm Eleanor, but call me Nell!" she said brightly. Alex attempted to hide his reddening face into the collar of his pale shirt. Dragon laughed and stood up, pushing James aside, "well Jamie, dont bother in introducing me, I'll do it myself" she said winking at the now bewildered and knowing James Potter.
Dragon took Alex hand and shook it vigorously, "my name is Dragon Moonhowl Malfoy" she said proudly. Alex pulled his hand away and stared at the girl as if she was omething dangerous, his face now suddenly pale and his eyes bulging out, "Ma...Malfoy? Draco Malfoy is your father?" Alex stammered in a very frightened voice. Dragon raised an eyebrow at the boy while feeling her blood boiling with a certain anger,what sort of disrespect torwards her father was this? He had helped Harry, Aki, Hermione and Ron get rid of the Dark Lord once and forever, or did this boy not know that? Dragon nodded rather forcefully, "yeah! I AM indeed Draco's daughter,got a prob with that?" she said more coldly than she would have wanted. Alex took a leap backwards almost as if Dragon would pounce on him and bite his throat off, "Dra...Draco Malfoy...my father said he was a..." Alex stuttered in a very frightened voice, his hands now in front of him and totally shaky. James laughed rather loudly imagining the end of his sentence, "he was not a Death Eat..." he started althought he never got to finish his sentence. Alex shook his head upon realizing his cousin's words, "no, he was a Werewolf!" he snapped quickly and quiet loudly.
Everyone went silent upon hearing this words, all eyes focused on the silver haired girl that was still standing in front of the cowering and timid boy, her yes focused on him but staring into infinity, everyone waiting an explanation. Dragon was also silent, but her boiling blood had suddenly cooled with the ice of shock and even fear. He knew! Wasnt that a secret between the party that defeated Voldemort? Yet he knew! How did his father or mother know? What would she tell her friends that this was indeed true, and that this made her a Werewolf too? Alex pointed an accusatory finger at her, "that makes you a Werewolf too!" he yelled in a frightened, high pitched voice. Oh how much she hated this reaction in people, she was a Werewolf not an assasin. However she realized now that the four pair of eyes had left her figure to land on Andrews' smaller and lighter body. He looked shaken and even frightened and Dragon knew why, he never admited that he was a Werewolf, and hated it, "NO!" he yelled shaking his head furiously. Dragon gasped silently and stared at the frantic boy, "No! I'm not a Werewolf!" he yelled shaking his head wildly, a few tears falling off his shut eyes and dripping against the stone pavimented floor. Andrews turned around and rushed out of there, running as quick as his little legs could carry him wich was VERY quick, considering his Werewolf blood. Rusko turned around and ran after him, a brotherly reaction that surprised Dragon, "Andy!" she yelled worriedly and started running after him. She turned around before disappearing and stared at the surprised faces of everyone with a fulminating glare, "I dont know where you got that info from but it's all a lie!" Dragon snarled at Alexander in a deep, growling voice that threatened a possible phisical pain. Said that, Dragon turned around and dissapeared through a corner.
Alex pointed with a trembling finger at the retreating spot of the three wolves, his face still pale and shaky, "I told you!" he snapped in a weak,whinny voice. James glared at him and pushed him aside to walk past him, "shut it already, will ya?" James snapped in a furious voice as he walked away, being closely observed by his frightened and surprised cousin, and a very shocked Nell. The girl smiled at the red haired and placed an arm around his waist, "come on, you can come to my house if you want, I'll offer something to drink" she said. Alex looked down at her with a truly apologizing look, "I didnt want to cause any problems within the group, but I'm afraid of Werewolves, when I was little I was walking by the forest and this huge wolf turned out, then he howled and an even larger, werewolf came to aid him, I dont know how I escaped" Alexander explained in a still shaky voice. The situation had not been like that, the large wolf had attacked, but was nothing but a wolf. However he had howled out of surprise upon seeing the Werewolf, Remus Lupin, pounced on him and tackle him to the ground. He had escaped because Remus had scared the wolf away, but Alex didnt know that. Nell sighed and smiled at him simpatheically, "look, even if it turned out Dragon is a Werewolf, she would never attack you, dont be afraid of Werewolves, they are people, just like us, and I know some Werewolves with a great heart" Nell explained with a smile. Alex seemed to calm down and returned the smile, making Nell feel a silent warmth spread through her veins.
Dragon ran as quickly as her legs could take her, her moving back and forth through the dark gaps between tree and tree. She was running across a thick forest that had grown wild behind the small neighbourghood, but had long lost track of Rusko and her brother. She knew what to do, "there is only one way to track them down in this darkness" she thought growling to herself. She leaft forward and shapeshifted quicker than eyes could see. She rushed past the forest now in the shape of her neat, slender, silver wolf form, the white legs like a wolves, the strong jaws and sharp fangs yet the silvery fur on her back and the slender shape of the agile fox. Her nose sniffed the dark, fresh athmosphere, and it didnt take her long to detect the strong scent of a male wolf mixed with the softer scent of a young pup reaching puberty. Dragon moved her legs quicker and turned to follow the scent, the noise? Yes, she could hear them, the two familiar voice belonging to her brother and Rusko speaking, Rusko's voice the soothing, calm it had always been yet it reached an udnerstanding she could barely comprehend, he was not a Werewolf!
Dragon emerged into the vast plain, the tall grass coloured with the brilliant silver formed by the magical stain of the moon's pale rays. In the middle of the field was a small child crying softly, a small child with platinum blond hair. Leaning over him was a tall man with hair as silvery and bright as her same fur. A hand was placed tenderly on the boy's shoulder while his lips emited sounds of comfort, "Andy, being what you are is not bad, there are great things you can do like running totally free and perceiving things others cant, being a Werewolf can be a great thing!" Rusko explained. Dragon was bewildered, what did he know? She rushed torwards them as quickly as she could, she ignored what could happen if Andy decided to let his anger flow freely and become an uncontroled form of a large wolf. Rusko heard her running torwards them, the wind against he could not perceive her smell, he just saw a large Werewolf (it was obvious because of the size, and eyes, completely different from normal wolves) rushing torwards them, a vicious look on it's face, fangs bared hungrily, tounge lolling out, eyes fixed on them. It looked exactly like a trampling wolf ready to attack. Rusko's instincts flowed through him with the adrenaline, as soon as the dangerous creature was close to them, he became his large, wolf form and pounced on the creature, fangs bared, claws ready and a good 50 kg of weight to reduce the much lighter and smaller female. Andy was too shocked to react inmediatly to the events but he did recognize the wolf approaching them, "DRAGON!" he yelled with a voice that seemed mixed with a loud and acute howl. Dragon only had time to see the enromous canine about to trap her in a deadly hug, althought she ignored the reason to this since she well knew this was Rusko, and she was Dragon, a friend. He didnt recognize her because of the scent, the wind had been flowing torwards her all the time and all he knew was that he had to protect the little pup at all costs. The female didnt have time to think or analize the situation in order to escape from it.
