Chapter Eleven
The next morning came to early in Ems's opinion. He and Rai groaned in unison as their internal alarm woke them at five in the morning. "Lemme sleep." Ems grumbled as Rai got up and yawned.
"We have to go down to breakfast." Rai said sliding on a pair of loose fitting leather pants.
"Not for another two hours." Came the sarcastic reply from Ems. Rai tugged the covers off of his partner and packmate. "Raiiiii!"
"Don't whine. Get dressed." Pouting, Ems also slid on a pair of leather pants and a gray shirt. Black boots followed the shirt and Ems was ready. They left their quarters together and made their way to the Great Hall.
Surprisingly, by the time they got there everyone was already up and starting on breakfast. Ems guessed that this was because he and Rai had taken a few detours on their way up.
"Good morning boys." Albus greeted from his customary position at the teachers table.
"Good morning headmaster." Ems greeted. He sat to the right of the old man, albeit hesitantly, and Rai took up the seat to his right.
"I hope you had a pleasant sleep?"
"Pleasant enough for not being used to a bed." Rai said, spearing a piece of sausage with a fork.
"Not used to a bed?" Hermione asked from across from them.
"Our homes were caves, and we slept on the hides of wolves." Rai answered. Ems munched silently on his own piece of sausage, content to let Rai answer questions.
"Oh. Wasn't it uncomfortable?"
"Not at all. What are those?" Rai motioned to a bowl of sliced orange pieces.
"Carrot. A vegetable..." Rai curled his lip and grabbed another sausage. "Don't like vegetables?"
"Can't stomach them." Rai replied.
"Literally." Ems spoke up. "Veggies make us sick." Hermione's eyes widened and Ems gave her a small, hesitant smile.
"You only eat meat then?" Ron piped up, recognizing the forgiveness in his friend's eyes.
"Yes. Usually it's raw, but we can stand cooked." Ron opened his mouth to comment when the doors to the hall burst open. A pale, blond haired man ran in.
"Albus!" Ems growled. The man stopped and stared. And stared.
"Yes, Draco, Mr. Potter is back. Now what is it..?"
"Oh..uhm...Voldemort is on his way!" Draco finally said urgently. Ems curled his lip as Albus stood.
"Looks like I can't even get a moments rest..." Rai nodded in agreement and they both stood, ready to face the evil Dark Lord together.
