Disclaimer: I do not awn Harry Potter but I do own the characters that were never in the Harry Potter series like Hawk and the entire Flamer family.

A.N.-in this chapter Hawk is about to explain many things and give answers to many questions and she is only telling Draco. Questions like: Why is almost every child in the Flamer family named after a bird species?, Why is Hawk so hard sometimes to others but never to her siblings?, Why is she so strong and agile (how else was she able to hold Harry in his rage)?, and many more questions that I have not let on just yet. So I hope you enjoy but I will leave you with one thing to ponder: why is Draco letting a Mudblood tell him everything about herself and letting a Mudblood take care of his injury and why is Hawk freely doing all of this? Well ponder on and enjoy!

Chapter 9: The Mysterious Flamer Family Secret

Hawk was continuing her work as she took a deep breath and Draco was just sitting there patiently waiting for her to start her story and for her to finish with his injury.

"Well you now know that I am a Mudblood, but you don't know which side of my family is Muggle and which is not. My mom is a witch and my father was a muggle. His work was what the muggles call a science because he was an Experiment Scientist. He studied strange things or what the muggles thought were weird or unusual. Gosh this glass is being stubborn!" said Hawk getting exasperated and sidetracked from her story. Draco winced in pain as she worked on getting the glass closer to the surface of the gash.

"Oh I'm sorry did that hurt?" she asked concern filling her eyes.

He gave a small ghost of a smile before it turned into his trademark smirk. "Not really but you stopped in the beginning of your story and it was getting interesting. Did your father find out about your mother?" he asked sincerely as he put his face back into a listening pose that Hawk found so irresistible that she blushed, something she rarely did.

"Oh I'm sorry, well my father did find out or rather my mom told him and that started the entire nightmare," her faced lost its blush and her face got hard and serious as she continued both her work on Draco's wound and her life tragedy.

"When my mother first found out that she was pregnant with me she decided that it was time for him to know about her 'special talents' as my father calls them. So that day when she got home she told him and to prove her point she did a simple charm for him, she never told me which one she did. So that act of truth started the entire nightmare and disaster that is my family's life. Oh Draco I am so, so sorry oh please don't get mad!" exclaimed Hawk. She had accidentally jammed the piece of glass back into his head when she was talking about her family's problem. He had pulled away violently and was now clutching his head in pain.

"Hey it was an accident, don't worry I'm not mad. Why would you think that?" asked Draco as he removed his hands and gave her a genuine smile that made her heart melt.

"Well everybody knows what you do to your friends when they do something you don't like but nobody knows what you would do if someone you hated or just disliked hurt you or did something you didn't like," said Hawk as she moved back to his wound setting back to work again about getting the glass out of his head.

"Well you don't have to worry because you are neither of those kinds of people," said Draco as he took her hands from his wound for a second and gave them a kiss even though they were covered with his blood. This gesture made her blush again. He gave her back her hands and sat back so she could work and tell her story in peace.

"Like I said that act of truth started it all. My father obviously got an idea for an experiment because a little after I was born he took me to his lab that he had in the house so that he could always be by his wife, afraid that she would fly away one day. That is when he started experimenting on magical babies, trying to explain why we were the way we were," she could feel Draco tense up but she could tell if it was in pain, in anger, or both but she just continued her work, "Only after a few weeks of experiments, without my mother knowing mind you, he made a terrible mistake, he disabled my powers," at this she could feel Draco slightly move his head and she could see his fist ball into a fist but she still couldn't tell why.

"He nearly killed me when he did it but I luckily barely survived and that is when my mother found out about my father's experiments. The thing I find strange is why my mother never left him maybe she thought that if he did this to me he could undo it. Well two years later my mom was pregnant with Eagle. The thing with my family is that they like surprises so they never knew what their children will be, boy or girl. You see my mom was a bird watch and a bird person but my father was a cat person so they compromised on everything. They to bird watching trips but they had a cat and they agreed that their first child you be named after a bird and the next would be named after a cat unless it was a boy then they would name it Eagle and the nest child would be named after a cat and it would switch after each child, that is how each of the Flamers have their name. I was first so I am named after a bird, my brother came next so he was named Eagle because there is no boy type species of cat, then came my sister Kitty and like my parents agreed she was named after a cat or just a common cat name, then last came Falcon who was named after a bird because that was the next category of animal.

'Anyway my mother had Eagle and my father was going to try again with his experiments after I went wrong. Again my mother didn't know about it but this time he took me to watch. Since I didn't seem to have my powers anymore, he thought that I could take after him. So I had to watch from then on but the good thing is that he never experimented on my brother. I think he wanted an unblemished son so he never hurt my brother from that day on. Okay I have the glass out Draco, you can relax now the hard part is over," said Hawk as she got up and put the glass one the floor. She put a cleaning charm on it before she could put the fixing spell on it. She mumbled Reparo and that fixed the vase. After she did that she summoned a first aid kit and came back to Draco to that she could stitch the gash together.

"Now what are you going to with that needle and thread?" asked a skeptic Draco.

"I need to sew up your gash so it heal faster and so that it will be easier on the nurse to mend completely now hold still. It wont hurt as much if you don't jerk around. I could give you some drugs if you want, it would put you to sleep so that you wont feel anything," offered Hawk as she tread the needle and prepared to sew up Draco's wound.

"No that is okay I can take it and I wouldn't get to hear the rest of your story if I was asleep. So go ahead, I'm listening," said Draco as he let her start her work on sewing his head back up. I defiantly own Potter double time. One for giving me this wound that will probably give me a scar like his or worse and two for letting me be able to spend the entire night with Hawk. The girl I want to .wait she's starting again. thought Draco.

"Well one year later my little oddball of a sister was born. She was very feisty when she was born, she was the only child that my mom had that nearly made her pass out after the delivery and my mom is very strong women," commented Hawk.

"I guess you get it from her," commented Draco as he looked at her out of the corner of his eye and gave her that real smile that made her melt again. It took all of her control not to stick Draco.

"Maybe, anyway again my father took his child without his wives notice to start experiments and made me watch as I kept an eye on Eagle. This was the first glimpse that we got that my powers were only lying dormant and not erased. After a few weeks of experiments, my father stumbled on the same mistake he made on me. He nearly made the same mistake but I stopped him when I heard my little sister crying. I was so made that my father was hurting my sister that I exploded and blew his away from her with my power. Once it was done my power went back to being dormant. I ran over to my little sister and got her and my little brother out of there. Because he never completely repeated the mistake on my sister, her powers are a little faulty sometimes. She has trouble controlling them sometimes whenever something is wrong like she is sick, mad, sad, or depressed or whatever. So I have special permission from Dumbledore to leave whatever I'm doing and go and help her with controlling her powers like I have ever since we found out about it. Only I know how to control the power that just starts the sporadically fly everywhere and I am teaching Eagle for when I leave this year. It is very complicated so it is very hard because you have to both consol her and control her power at the same time to she can get in control again. It can take a few hours or minutes, it all depends on what it is. She sometimes bottles her emotions up and they can explode at any minute. I guess she learned that from me," said Hawk as she trailed off. She had stopped working on Draco's head a long time ago and he had been listening intently ever since she stopped. Suddenly he saw a tear come down her check. He reached up and whipped it away.

"Are you okay? Is this too much to tell?" asked Draco with concern written all over his features.

"No, it feels good to tell someone else. I'm okay," she said as he went back to work on his head.

"Anyway my mom was furious but she still never left him. Well I was three when all that happened and five years later my littlest sister, Fally, was born and I got my powers back. After she was born my father immediately took her and went to the lab. My mother told me to go after him so I left my six year old brother and five year old sister with my mother and dashed after my father. When he made his big mistake with me, he accidentally enhanced my physical abilities, that is why I am so good at sports and strong enough to hold back Harry in his rage and keep him from killing you," Hawk commented as she finished with stitching and wrapping Draco's head.

"Thanks," said Draco as she put up the first aid kit.

"Oh the head was no problem," she said as she sat back down.

"Well thanks for that too but I mean thanks for saving my life. Harry could probably kill me in that state," said Draco as he lay back down on the bed and put his hands behind his head and just looked at her.

"Oh well, no problem. Well I dashed down the hall after my father and caught him right as he was right before the spot where I stopped him five years ago on Kitty. I was so made at him that my powers again let loose and this time to stay at least for the most part. This time I was so mad that when I got him away from Fally, I nearly killed him. He was in the hospital for years. The year I came to Hogwarts was the year he got out and went into home care. He finally healed completely when I came home for summer after my third year and Eagle came back from his first year. Fally's powers are only faulty when she is hysterical and mine are only faulty when I am in a rage so powerful that I loose myself. I found this out last summer when my father had beaten my mother in front of me. It turns out that he had been beating her every since he was at home again from the hospital. He had always done it in private and when the kids were away but I walked in on one of the worse ones. I was already mad at my father ever since I was eight but this took the cake. My mother looked horrible because she had taken off the cover spell and my father was adding to her collection of bruises and wounds. I snapped and went into such a rage that I lost myself and the control of my powers. They were so bad that they killed my father. My mother had to control then and consol me like I do to Kitty when I have to. After I was better my siblings came in and found out. Fally went into hysterics and mother again had to control and consol. After Fally was better my mother collapsed. She was in the hospital the entire summer and is still in the hospital. I got special permission from Dumbledore to help Kitty after my mother asked for it after one of Kitty's episodes. Another thing about my mother's side is that she is Dumbledore's granddaughter. I am his great-granddaughter and my siblings are also his great-grandchildren so he gave us special conditions at Hogwarts so that we could always be safe," said Hawk as she started to cry again.

Draco sat up and put his arm around Hawk and she laid her head on his shoulder and cried. They stayed like that for a long time before Hawk fell asleep in Draco's arms. He laid them both down on the bed after a while and just held her. His head was I whirl of emotions. This girl had just told him her life story and had cried on his shoulder, something that he had never seen her do. Why was he feeling emotions for the girl? Did it not matter to him that she was of the Gryffindor house and a Mudblood at that? I guess it didn't because before he fell asleep he gave her a kiss on the forehead and held her closer. At that Hawk snuggled closer to him and continued to sleep and soon so did Draco. They just slept like that the entire night. They were so content but they were in for a rude awakening.

A.N.-Okay now we know why the Flamer family is so messed up. Apparently Draco has feelings for Hawk but does she feel them too or is it just Draco's sexy smile that is getting to her. Well things are about to get even sadder once Professor McGonagall gets back from her trip tomorrow morning. Hope I still have some loyal readers and be patient because Chapter 10 will be up really soon. Choa!
