Chapter 10: The Strength of a Hawk

"Hawk! Malfoy! What is going on here?!" yelled Harry as he found Hawk and Draco in each other's arms. They had spent the night in each other's arms and that is where Harry found them the next morning as he came back to the Head Boy's room. He was in shock at what he saw. Hawk and Draco got up slowly, it had been a long night for them because they had been up until three o'clock in the morning fixing Draco's head and telling Hawk's story. She didn't say anything but she did move in front of Draco preparing to use her Quidditch training against Harry again. She imagined him as a giant Bludger and she would use her hands as her bat to bat him around if she had to.

"Hawk it is okay, I can take care of myself. You go and clean up before you go down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Remember you still have my blood on your hands from last night," advised Draco. Hawk just nodded her head and said, "Your right, plus I have to sit at the faculty table because Dumbledore said that there would be some news from Professor McGonagall this morning. Draco be careful, and Harry control your anger or I will beat you around like I do the Bludgers at practice," said Hawk as she walked out of the Head Boy's bedroom and to the Head Girl's one.

"She's right Potter, she could beat you around like a Bludger if she wanted," sneered Draco going back to his normal ways now that Hawk was out of the room.

"What did you do to her you slime ball?" yelled Harry.

"Harry!" yelled Hawk from down the stairs. She was taking her time just incase something broke out again. "Do I have to come back up there? Or can I go? Because if I need to I will come back."

"No you don't have to come back but do tell Hermione to save me a spot at the breakfast table," yelled down Harry.

"Sure, just stay out of trouble, you too Draco," said Hawk as she went to her room.

"Sure no problem," grumbled both Harry and Draco.

"Hello Professors I hope I am not being an inconvenience by sitting her today," said Hawk as she stood in front of the teacher's table in the Great Hall. She was being her absolute kindest like she always was with her siblings, mother, and her teachers.

"Oh coarse not my dear, please sit down until Professor McGonagall gets back. She should be here shortly," commanded Dumbledore in such a way that did not seem a command to anyone but his family. Hawk just smiled to herself. Her great-grandfather had not changed at all.

"Thank you grandfather," she said so only he could hear. Dumbledore had asked that all his great-grandchildren call him grandfather because he said it made him feel younger.

"Oh coarse sweetie," he said so only she could hear. Oh his many great-grandchildren Hawk and her siblings were his favorites. He had over twenty but none were as nice or as well behaved or well brought up like they were.

The morning meal was going smoothly and Hawk and Dumbledore were in a heated conversation about the past summer when there was an up roar at the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor tables. All of Hawk's siblings were in a rage for some reason. Hawk bounded over the teacher's table and over to her siblings. Someone had upset Fally and Eagle was trying to calm her down before she went into hysterics but wasn't doing well and someone at the Ravenclaw table had insulted Kitty. They had called her a muggle because her powers had been faulty that morning but only in the extent that she couldn't do any magic. Thankfully that hadn't gone haywire, yet. Hawk ran over to Kitty first because she could she her powers starting their explosion. She pulled out her wand and pointed at the people around Kitty.

"Alright who did it? Who insulted my sister? It doesn't matter, just because Kitty's powers go away from time to time doesn't mean that she is a muggle! I dare you to live like a muggle for one entire year and see how insulting that was! Oh so you don't do you?" she had gotten some heads to shake at her last comment. "Well in that case I suggest you hold you tongue from now on, five points from the Ravenclaw house for un-sportsman like conduct to one of your own teammate and sister. Remember when Professor McGonagall first said that your house is your family? Well you do not treat your family like that! I hope you will do better in the future!" yelled Hawk. She had captured the entire Great Hall's attention with her outburst. She now turned to her sister and put away her wand.

"Hey you okay sis?" ask a now calmer Hawk. She had lost all her anger once she turned to her sister and saw her sad face.

"Yeah, thanks Hawk," said Kitty as she rapped her arms around her older sister. Hawk just embraced Kitty as she started to cry. Hawk just smoothed her hair and made soothing sounds as Kitty stopped crying. Once she did they went over to Eagle and Fally. Eagle had managed to get Fally calmed down a little but it took Hawk to completely calm her down. She just knelt down on her knees and took Fally in her arms. She did the say thing she had done for Kitty and Fally have calmed down in no time. This entire time Hawk had a serene, almost maternal look on her face as her cared for her sisters.

Suddenly there was a popping sound and a clang of metal on metal. Dumbledore was trying to get the attention of the room that was all drawn to Hawk and her family.

"May I have your attention please," started Dumbledore. "Would Hawk, Eagle, Kitty, and Falcon Flamer please come to the teacher's table for some important news from Professor McGonagall," finished Dumbledore as her motioned for his great-grandchildren to come to him. Hawk stood up with Fally still in her arms. Fally was very small for her age so Hawk could easily pick her up. Fally was only eighty pounds and was no taller than four foot and one inch. So Hawk stood up with Fally clinging to her and motioned for her brother and sister to follow.

Once they got there, Fally was the first to speak. Her usual perkiness was gone it was never there as she asked her question. Her voice was only above a whisper, "Is it about Mama?"

Professor McGonagall's face was saddened already but when she heard Fally's frail question she had to choke back tears. She could only nod her head once.

"No! Hawk I dreamed this last night! No I can't be true!" yelled Fally going back into hysterics. This was what had made her burst earlier because she had told Eagle about it. Hawk had put Fally's head down on her chest to muffle her cries.

"Please just tell us now," whispered Hawk as her eyes darken. She could feel Eagle tense up next to her and she felt Kitty grab her arm which made her have to hold the crying Fally with one arm.

"Would you not prefer that I tell you in private?" asked McGonagall.

"NO JUST TELL US NOW!" yelled Hawk then her voice went into a whispered plea, "Please."

"Okay, your mother died in the hospital just last night. I saw her on her deathbed and her last wish was for you to take care of you siblings, Hawk, and for everyone of you to live you lives as greatly as you could and to become something great," said McGonagall. Once she said that, the trigger had been pulled! All three of Hawk's siblings' exploded in agony. Kitty and Fally's powers went into overdrive and Eagle was in near hysterics. Hawk was being pelted with both Kitty's and Fally's powers because she was in the midst of it. The entire staff ran to form a circle so that none of the other students would be injured. Everyone in the Great Hall was fighting for a good spot to watch.

Hawk had to eventually drop Fally because she was getting injured pretty badly because now Eagle's power's had gone haywire. Hawk held up her hands to start the controlling spell. Once it was activated she began speaking to her siblings.

"Guys stop this! It is okay! Mother only died because of our father! She did not die of natural causes, Voldemort did not kill her, it was our father that did it but it took him years to do it! ONCE HE STARTED EXPERIMENTING ON US HE STARTED KILL OUR MOTHER BECAUSE IT HURT HER TO SEE HER CHILDREN HURT! WE HAVE OVER COME EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE TO OUR FAMILY AND WE CAN OVER COME THIS!" yelled Hawk over all of the powers. She was getting tired. She was already tired and then she was injured pretty badly. This spell was hard to do in the first place but having to use it triple fold was even harder. If she did stop this soon she would faint or worse die and then Hogwarts and everyone she loved could be killed. She couldn't let that happen. She wouldn't let that happen!

"GUYS ENOUGH! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR MOTHER NOW! WE CAN ONLY MOVE ON! WHAT WOULD SHE SAY IF SHE SAW YOU LIKE THIS JUST BECAUSE OF HER?" This got a reaction because both Eagle and Kitty calmed down to light crying and both of their powers stopped flying. Now only Falcon remained. Both Eagle and Kitty took over comforting their sister so that Hawk could concentrate on the spell. She could feel her powers slipping and consciousness leaving her as she heard her brother and sister consoling the youngest and most vulnerable Flamer. Pretty soon Fally's powers subsided and Hawk collapsed on the Great Hall's floor. She was very soon bombarded with her siblings as they used her shoulder to cry the rest of their tears on. Hawk just let them cry as the teachers moved the students away and Dumbledore came over and embraced his favorite great-grandchildren and let them cry, all but Hawk. She had not started to cry because she had been holding back her tears. She would not let herself cry and greave before her siblings so that she could be strong for them. She would greave later.

Hawk entered the Head common room limping. She had just escorted her siblings to their common rooms and was asked to stay by each one but she had declined and went back to the Head common room. When she got there she found Harry and Hermione sitting on a coach waiting for her.

"Hawk we are so sorry. Are you okay?" asked Hermione as she embraced her best friend.

"No, but I will be. Thanks guys. I'm going to take a nap, that took a lot out of me and I feel like I'm about to faint on my feet," Hawk chuckled at her own joke as she went up the stairs.

"Only Hawk would make a joke about what just happened so that she would not have to show her real emotion about it," commented Hermione as she and Harry sat back down for a much-needed talk about what Harry had found this morning.

Hawk opened the door to her room with tears in her eyes when she saw Draco sitting on her bed waiting for her. His features were written with concern, worry, sorrow, and compassion. He couldn't help have feelings for this girl. She who didn't cry about her mother's death, until now.

He stood up from the bed and opened his arms as an invitation into his compassion. She stared at him with tears on her face. Never before had anyone tried to comfort her like he wanted to other that her mother. She took a step but couldn't make it to him before she started to fall. She was so exhausted that she couldn't walk to the one person she wanted to hold her. As she was falling Draco ran forward and caught her in his embrace. He knelt with her in his arms and just let her cry. She cried and cried until she cried herself to sleep. Once he felt that she was asleep he stood up with her in his arms and laid her on her bed to sleep. He lent down and kissed her on the forehead and started to leave.

"No don't go," mumbled Hawk as she grabbed his cloak in a feverish state of mind. He gave her his real smile and pulled up a chair and sat down by her bed as she went back to sleep. Draco stayed with Hawk, never leaving her side until she again woke up but this time in a fevered dream. She was screaming for her mother in her dream. When she laid back down still screaming for her mother he felt her head and realized that she had a fever that could be over 106ï F. He had to get her to the hospital wing before she got any worse!
