A Family for the Dragon:
Chapter 11: The King of the Cosmos
By: Madame Moony
Albus Dumbledore sighed. It had been two days since his "training" and so much had yet to happen. The first day after his training he had slept and ate then slept some more. Yesterday he had retreat to his "thinking" spot. A spot that was deep in the forbidden forest, but protected so well that no evil creature could even think about entering it. Today he knew that he would have to start talking to everyone and try explaining.
"Good day, I will see you at lunch" said Albus seeing off Minerva finally. He had talked and haggled through all the participants of the picnic except one. He still had not talked to Katrina yet, but every time he remembered her, he kept thinking that she knew about everything. Calling her into his office, he sat down in his chair thinking deeply.
"Albus? I hope you aren't too tired," said Katrina entering Albus' office and sitting down.
"No, no. Just puzzled that is all," said Albus.
"Good, just one question if you don't mind," said Katrina.
"No, as long as I reserve my right to remain silent," replied Albus quoting the American Constitution.
"Are you one of the six?" asked Katrina suddenly.
"So you are one of the six too," said Albus.
"I see that you went through your training yesterday. I thought it could be possible, but I wanted to make sure," replied Katrina.
"Do you know of any more of us?" asked Albus.
"Well, I suspect of one more. Severus Salazar Snape," said Katrina bluntly.
"Yes, I agree. Severus is definitely one of us, but I do wonder which. Who are you, if you don't mind?" asked Albus.
"Queen of the Mystics," said Katrina without a care. "Ah, I am the Protector of the Elements," replied Albus.
"So you are Merlin's heir!" exclaimed Katrina.
"Yes, and which of the council are you?"
"I am the heir of the first Rowena Ravenclaw," replied Katrina.
"I see, quite a surprise actually to me when I was a lad to find out that there was more then one Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Snape. Quite a surprise indeed," said Albus wandering from the subject.
"Have you talked to Severus?" asked Katrina returning to the subject at hand.
"No, not yet. If you will, I think it would be most lovely to visit him right now. Shall we?" asked Albus holding out his arm gentlemanly.
"We shall," replied Katrina smiling.

"Hermione, is Severus in here?" asked Albus walking into their rooms.
"Yes, I think that he is in his room, but I didn't want to intrude so I am not sure," said Hermione.
"Thank you, my dear. If he wasn't there would you know another place he could possibly be?" asked Albus again.
"No. If you will excuse me, I must get Draco from Remus," said Hermione and she walked out.
"Of course, of course," said Albus walking over to knock on Severus's door. Slowly the door drifted open; Severus walked out and glared at Albus and Katrina.
"What do you want?"
"We are here to talk about Merlin's council of six and the current Council of Six," said Albus bluntly.
"I knew that you are one of us, but why is she here?"
"Because she is one of us,"
"Yeah and I am the pope!"
"Severus!"
"No really!"
"Severus, shall we sit down," said Albus directing
Severus to a seat.
"So?"
"What Albus said is true, Professor Snape! I am the Queen of the Mystics of the Council of Six," said Katrina regally.
"And you?" snapped Severus.
"I am the Protector of the Elements of the Council of Six," said Albus with a hint of power.
"YOU are not just making this up are you? Some type of joke?" said Severus. Albus looked hurt that his best friend would think that he would do something like that.
Seeing Albus' face, "Okay, so what does it matter if I am the King of the Cosmos or not? And who are the rest of the council?"
"That is what we need to find out," said Albus.
"Or we might just have to wait. I didn't know that you two were part of the council until your transformation. We will just have to wait, according to Rowena, the council of six previous will make it known to us of our other members when the time is right" said Katrina.
"Then, I have some things to do, so if you please will show yourself out?" said Severus walking back into his room and shutting the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That went wonderfully," said Katrina sarcastically as she and Albus walked away from Severus's rooms.
"Now, now my dear. These things take way more time then it usually takes with other people. Severus, I have come to believe, is an exception to every rule of the universe and has a bunch of rules of his own, as you know."
"Yes, he has always been such hasn't he?" said Katrina smiling lightly as she remembered many such occasions.
Tears came to her eyes as she remembered the day she came back, he walked off, and a wall of ice formed (literally) between them.
"Now, now. Do not worry yourself; Severus has always loved you and will always love you. Neither time nor distance can break Severus' love for you, my dear. The only thing holding you two apart is yourselves and I believe you know it," said Albus sadly thinking of his lonely best friend going out day after day back to Voldemort if just to redeem himself for himself, but mostly for her.
"How can I do anything if he never talks to me or acknowledges me!!!!!!" shouted Katrina frustrated before leaning against the wall, burying her head in her hands crying. Sighing Albus comforted her, wondering when his friend would pull his act together.

And that's it folks! Wow, that must be my shortest chapter, ever! I barely wrote anything...and I am still stuck!!! Oh well, too bad for me!
Hey, Madame Moony!
Draco! Hey, where have you been? Aren't you supposed to inspire me?
So? As if that's my fault, all you have been thinking about for the past week or so is stupid school! How am I supposed to inspire you to write about my awesome life when you lead the most boring life in the world?
Good point, *sigh* oh well. Ya want to tell everyone what the next chapter is going to be about?
*Okay, let me see. *read script* The next chapter is about...me!! Finally, how many chapters have you let me stay as a stinking baby??? And you don't even mention me!!! Remember the title, A Family for the DRAG...*
Sorry, excuse Draco. He is in such a mood since I took him to school! Anyway, Draco was right. The next chapter is about him and mostly more Draco! Of course, with Draco comes Severus, Hermione, Remus, Albus, Katrina, Minerva, Marthie, Lucius, Narcissa, Voldie Moldie, wow Draco has a huge cast! Get ready for some surprises, some wrongs becoming right, and lots of fun! Oh yeah, did I mention a ball??
