Draco dares believe in his past...
Hermione turned her head and sobbed into Ron's shoulder as they all watched in the moonlight as the body of their professor didn't move. So much had happened in the past hour that it didn't seem real. Now Draco and Lucius were standing just feet from them, Draco not talking, Lucius not moving. Draco dare not look at the woman's body, Lucius couldn't take his eyes off of her.
"Draco..." Lucius began.
"You were a horrible father." Draco spat, turning towards him.
"I can explain..." Lucius said, dropping the wand he ripped from his son's hands.
"You can explain that you were a horrible father! How, more of this 'Dragon' SHIT! I HATE YOU!" Draco turned towards the school.
"Don't hate your father, Draco... hate me..." a female voice came from the foggy woods, it held a thick accent of Dragonic.
"Who?" Draco turned to look, just as Zalana ShadowLight came into view.
"No... it c...can't be!" Draco said, "No one can survive the killing Curse, Father, you told me that yourself! I trusted you."
"Draco... the killing curse is meant to be used on humans, and humans only, it merely knocks larger creatures back..." Lucius said.
"Then..." Draco turned paler. "What are you?"
"We have told you... Draco..." Zalana said softly as she walked towards her son. "We are dragons, as are you..." She leaned to imbrace her son. Draco leaned away then smirked. Zalana hugged him and he hugged her back, but pulled from his cloak a knife.
Hermione, hidden under the cloak, gasped as she knew what was about to happen.
Draco plunged the dagger deep into her back, and she let out a roar that echoed throughout the forest. He turned to run as soon as she fell, but a horrible sight met his eyes. A thrity seven foot tall Opaleye Dragon stood in his way. It's eyes were eeirly familiar...
"DRACO!" It's voice boomed before him. The dragon wasn't very happy. Draco looked at the bloody dagger he held in his hand.
"H...how do you know my n...name?" Draco took a step backwards, wondering how he was going to live through this.
"I am your father...Lucius..."
"I don't believe you! Liar!" Draco yelled at the large dragon.
The dragon roared and lunged at Draco, who curled up in a ball and screamed. Just seconds before he was to be eaten by this beast, he heard another roar and the colllision of two bodies. He looked up to see a smaller dragon, just like the larger one, fighting off the male.
"Not my baby!" She growled, standing protectivly over Draco. "You'll have to kill me first, and I know that you won't do that Lucius..."
"Zalana, he tried to kill you!" Lucius growled.
"With good intent! We have put the poor boy through too much today! Let him rest... leave him with me..." She grumbled.
Draco looked at the large female dragon that stood between him and certain death. She seemed familiar too... but not from just the last months.
The female looked at him. "Draco... go back to your dorm... don't take any of your medications, and this will all make sense soon..." She looked at him with soft eyes and a mother's love. "Don't worry about classes tomorrow, you won't be feeling well... come out here after the morning meal... it will all make sense..."
Draco didn't remember how he got into his dorm room, but he woke up there early the next morning. He instintivly reached for his medication, two different pills, but found that they weren't there. He remembered the last night, but thought that it was just a dream. He got up and looked in the mirror. He ran his fingers through his short blonde hair and sighed. Then he looked behind him. There was his father, Lucius, in the corner.
"Father?"
"Get dressed, come with me..." and with that, his father disappeared.
Draco began to think that it wasn't just a dream, that maybe what he thought had happened last night was real. He got dressed quickly in his robe and school clothes, and ran up the dungeon stairs and towards the great hall. He felt as if no one noticed him even as he opened the door and ran towards the Forbidden forest. But someone did notice him... three of them in fact...
"Harry, how are we going to keep an eye on Draco and attend classes?" Ron said.
Hermione came up with the solution to the idea. Her timeturner. She had kept it for years, and now it was the perfect solution. They COULD be in two places at once.
Harry had used the timeturner before, so he was alright with the idea, but Ron... didn't know what to expect. "Ron, we go to classes as normal, then at the end of classes, we use the timeturner... then we will be in two places at once." Hermione explained to him. Ron didn't quiet understand, but... he let them get away with it.
As Draco walked deeper and deepr into the forest, he began to remember that what he thought was a dream the night before was all too real, how he had almost killed Professor ShadowLight with the killing curse... but didn't he... use the curse? His mind swam.
Behind him, in the invisiblity cloak, was Ron, Harry and Hermione. They were, too, in class at this moment.
"Hello?" Draco called soflty as he walked along. He walked past a pond.
"Take a look son, you didn't take your medicine today..." Zalana said out of the dark and gloomy forest. Draco glanced down into the pond and screamed-- but it came out as a roar.
Hermione gasped too as they rounded a tree and saw, not Draco standing there, but a seven foot tall dragon/boy thing standing there.
"What... what is happening to me?" Draco said as he touched his face with his now taloned hands.
"We told you what you were... but in order to believe us, you must see for yourself..." Lucius, as a dragon, came forward and sat by the pond with his son. "You are merely transforming into what you should have been since you were born."
Draco touched his face softly and looked at himself as he continued to transform into his true self. Then he suddenly collapsed onto the shore in a sharp roar of pain.
"Draco!" Lucius said.
"Lucius... it is merely his wings... he has never been in this form before, and it is bound to cause pains... he is fine." Zalana said.
She walked over to her son and picked him up using her snout. "There, there... I know, it hurts..."
Draco was now almost completely transformed, and he was bleeding where his wings and tail had ripped through the skin. His robes lay in tatters around him, and he didn't look at all like he did just minutes before.
"Father... is this why I always had to take my medicine?" Draco now growled in a deep throaty voice.
"Yes, son..."
"But why were you such a..."
"Uncaring and cold father?" Zalana said.
"Yes..." Draco nodded his dragon head and streched his dragon wings and tail.
"It's the females that raise the young, and the males always hunt and gaurd the brood..." Lucius said. "I felt sort of out of place... I am sorry son."
"Draco, you are still just a hatchling to our species, you do know that now right?" Zalana said.
"I am?"
"Yes, son... Dragons live to be about 400 years old or more..." Lucius said.
"You three there!" A voice boomed into the forest.
"Yes Hagrid!" Zalana said.
"The Ministr' jus' sent n' owl sayin' dat they ar' gonna be 'ere soon, they know tha' dragons be 'ere..."
"So... you must fly now..." Dumbledore's voice sounded as he walked towards the trio. "Draco... you must stay here, your parents have wished that you finished your wizard schooling."
"What about Mom? And you Dad?" Draco rubbed his neck against his parents scaly bellies and looked up at them.
"We will be safe, so don't worry about us son... and we will come to visit..." Lucius said.
"As human transfiguritives..." Zalana added.
With his parents help, Draco transformed back into a human from a dragon. He would still need to take his pills to keep his transfiguration up, but he no longer wondered why he had to take the horrible pills.
"Good bye Father..." He hugged Lucius. "And Goodbye...Mother." He hugged Zalana and watched as the two Aperated in a flash.
"Come wit' me Draco..." Hagrid said. "You ha' ta be gettin' ta class now..."
Draco nodded his head, he smiled and followed Hagrid.
Dumbledore followed the two out of the forest. But before he walked beyond the rock where the trio of friends where hiding, he turned towards them and said... "You three better not speak a word of this, or I will take away both your TimeTurner, Ms. Granger... and your invisiblity cloak Mr. Potter... and I will send word to your mother Mr. Weasley." And with that he continued onwards towards ther school.
The End.
((So, what did everyone think? Was it good? I liked it! I think Draco changed towards the end when he realized that he wasn't just a wizard after all. Please Review, spend just a second of your time to tell me you liked it, or hated it... or whatever! Thank you!))
