            It had been a week and Lily hadn't figured out who had sent the letter at Christmas—She didn't take off the necklace either, she felt that it gave her power, a more energetic feeling. Not only did she think so, but Raven thought so, too. Lily did what she usually did: Got up, ate, went to classes and went to bed. No other signs of the Mystery Man had been seen, or heard from.

            One night while Lily was up in the Common Room alone a soft tapping was emitting from a window, she slowly got up, stretched her tired arms and walked over to the window opening it so the owl could fly in. The owl itself was very beautiful, a mix of strange colors, it was bluish-green that made it have almost a black tint to it. She gasped as she saw the familiar Calligraphy on the letter—The Dragon Keeper!

            She grabbed the letter, and patted the owl on the head she expected the owl to fly away, but it just stayed. She looked at the Owl, and then opened the letter.

            Sweet Lily Flower,

            I see you like your necklace—your never seen without it. I wish to meet with you on Saturday—Lily looked at the Calendar and noticed it was Thursday. On the Quidditch Pitch. I would like to talk with you, and show you who I am. Be there at 9 P.M.

            I'm looking forward to seeing you,

                        The Dragon Keeper*

            Lily looked at the letter again, and then wrote a scribbled reply to the letter: 'I'd be glad to see you on Saturday.' And re-attached the letter to the owl, and the owl flew away. She sighed as she watched the owl fly back up the castle, towards the Owlery it seemed.  She sat back down in her favorite over-stuffed chair, and re-opened her Arithmancy book.

*~*~*

            Two boys were standing up in the Owlery. One slightly taller than the other, looking down as a dark owl swooped towards the Gryffindor Common Room.

            "So, you think she'll except, Dragon Keeper?" The taller one asked, surveying his friend with keen interest.

            "I don't know… I've never liked a girl like this before, it's amazing."

            A loud gasp came from the door, and the shorter boy opened the door, and the form of Raven fell to the floor with a loud thud.

            "Raven! What are you doing here?" The taller one asked, shuffling his feet in a guilty way. The other boy offered his hand to the girl, and she took it gratefully and rose to her feet. She grinned evilly at the other boy and said.

            "So…You're the Dragon Keeper?"
