Draco means Dragon in Latin...
"What are you so hurried for Harry?" Hermione looked at Harry as he ran into the common room. Ron looked up from his reading of the Daily Prophet.
"ShadowLight.... is...is... D..D..." Harry began.
"Spit it out Harry!" Ron said.
"ShadowLight is Draco's MOTHER!"
"Draco is a dragon???" Hermione gulped.
"Part dragon, more than likely." Ron said, folding the paper up and placing it on the mantel.
"Well, when I left, they were just starting to talk..." Harry said. "I wanted to tell someone what I had heard."
"Well, come on then, let's go!" Hermione grabbed the invisiblity cloak from Harry and threw it up around the three. "If we hurry, we can catch most of the conversation."
Draco was stunned, shocked and terrified all at the same time. "M...mother?" He said. "Yes, Draco, she is your mother, but we shouldn't talk here, there is too many possiblities for eavesdroppers, and it still isn't safe for any of us... come, let's go outside to the Forbidden Forest, we will be safer there." Lucius said, leading the three of them towards the grand hall.
"Come, now Draco, this is going to be difficult for you to understand, and we will try not to make it too difficult..." Zalana said as she quickly walked up the stairs towards the entrance hall.
"There they are, Harry!" Hermione whispered to Harry as he walked quietly down the stairs towards the dunegon.
"Where are they going?" Ron whispered.
"One way to find out, come on!" Harry took off after the trio.
Once in the forest, Lucius sat on an old log that had fallen. Draco sat beside him, and Zalana sat beside Lucius.
"Father... I..." Draco began.
"Draco, let's begin at the beginning..." Lucuis said.
"Draco, your father and I are dragons, Opaleyes to be exact."
"You mean, I am a dragon?" Draco said.
"Yes, but let's tell the story..." Lucius said softly.
"It began before you were born, Draco, your father and I hated that dragons where seen as stupid and ignorant, while we were actually very smart and cunning. We escaped from Romainia where they were keeping us, and we flew under the cover of night to London." Zalana began.
"We had studied transfiguration, so we appeared as humans, as we look now..." Lucius added.
"We grew and prospered as a very wealthy household. Your father got a job in the Ministry of Magic, and I was preparing the house for a young one, you..."
Lucius continued the story. "But the night you were born, your mother was discovered as a dragon, seeing how you were laid in an egg, in the middle of a hospital..."
"We made a pact, Lucius and I, that I would go into hiding and come and find you two when I was safer. He said that he would name you Draco, and I would find you as soon as I could. But the night after I had you, and flew away, I was captured and sent back to Romania. They interogated me for you two's whereabouts, but nothing they could do would make me put my son and mate in danger."
"But Father... you said my mother had died..." Draco said
"I thought she did, the last letter that she sent us said that the Ministry of Magic, Dragon control division was right on her tail and she thought that they would kill her if they got ahold of her." Lucius said.
"I don't believe you!" Draco yelled.
"Now, Draco... you must have an open mind to this..." Zalana sighed
"I don't believe you! You liar! You monster of a woman!" Draco yelled at Zalana, jumping up and threatening her.
Zalana looked hurt. "Draco... please..."
"Why should I believe you!" Draco hissed.
"I can explain that..." Lucius grabbed his son by the shoulder and sat him down hard on the log. "Your medication..."
"What about my medication?" Draco grumbled, sounding more and more aggitated with every passing second.
"It's not for allergies, as I have told you in the past, son..." Lucius said softly.
"It's not? Then what is it for, why the HELL are you drugging me!" Draco stood up again, this time reaching into his cloak for his wand, pointing it at his father.
"Don't son, you know as well as I do that I am now a deatheater, and I could kill you in a heartbeat, although I would rather not..." Lucius said. "Your medication is for retaining your human form..."
"LIAR!" Draco hissed, pointing the wand at Zalana this time. "Ava-"
Harry, Ron and Hermione watched from behind a bush as in the next instant it all happened. Zalana lunged for the wand, Draco hit her with the killing curse, and Lucius ripped the wand out of Draco's hand. Draco and Lucius fell silent as they caught a glimpse of Zalana now lying on the ground, not moving.
"Draco... what have you done to your mother?"
"She wasn't my mother..." Draco said and turned away.
"What are you so hurried for Harry?" Hermione looked at Harry as he ran into the common room. Ron looked up from his reading of the Daily Prophet.
"ShadowLight.... is...is... D..D..." Harry began.
