Chapter Eight

It was almost eight thirty and they weren't back to their own time. They didn't even know where they would sleep; they stayed outside most of the day. They only slept a couple hours for the time they had been there.

Suddenly a fox passed their way and you could here Lily's voice behind some trees

"Kass where are you?" she said she came out from behind some tree and noticed the four of them sitting on a rock "oh hey you guys have you seen a little red fox anytime soon?"

"Yah one just passed by a couple of minutes ago" Hermione said

"Ok thanks I'll see you later" Lily waved to them and left.

"I wonder what's with the fox," Draco said

"Dunno, what does a fox have to do with Kasandra" Hermione answered

Volken hid behind some tree. It looked as though he was following Lily wherever she was going. He came from behind the tree and bumped into Draco.

"What where you are going" Draco demanded

"How about you don't get into my way next time and I will" Volken said back and ran off

"Oh no you can't tell there related at all" Ron whispered to Harry

"Shut up weasel," Draco sneered

Hermione rolled her eyes as a hawk flew over their head and Kass and Rae walked from opposite direction the fox and lily came, talking among themselves.

"Honestly lily and Volken would be perfect for each other" Kass said laughing

"Oh really? How would that be?" Rae asked

"Well there both short tempered and rude"

"To each other" Rae laughed and then noticed Harry and the others "oh hey guys"

"Where you going?" Ron asked

"Were just walking" Kass said

They turned around and headed down the path that Lily, the fox and Volken took. Across the field about five minutes after three people entered the whomping willow.

"Who was that" Ron said staring out across the grass

"I don't know but there is another person" Harry said pointing out another person. "I'm going" Harry got up

"Me to" Ron got up with Harry.

"No! We should not know-" Hermione was cut off

"To much about our own future" Harry and Ron said in unison

Hermione rolled her eyes as Harry spoke "well just go for a walk then"

"Well I am not just going to stay here with mudblood" Draco got up and stretched

"Well if everyone else is going I might as well go also." Hermione said

As Hermione got up everyone else was 12 paces in front of her.

"C'mon already" Harry called to Hermione. As she got up with them she waved her wand the tree froze.

They all slide into the whole unharmed and a voice could be heard at the end of the tunnel.

"Nearly time isn't it?" a boy's voice that Harry didn't recognize echoed through the tunnel.

"Reckon it is you think Volken followed us this time?" Lily's voice could now be heard

"Doubt it" Rae's voice was now heard

"Sly is smart and is in her form. I'm gunna do the same thing," the boys voice echoed through the tunnel once again.

As they got to the end of the tunnel Harry saw a little red fox sitting on a stair all curled up, a hawk perched on a window still and on the floor curled into a ball was a large silver serpent. They eyes were dark and black and had claws to match.

"That- that-" Hermione stuttered

"What is that?" Ron blurted out

"It's a very rare species. Its some sort of Chinese dragon"

Hermione was right. It looked almost completely like the Chinese dragons from muggle books.

Rae was found sitting in the middle of the stairs looking out the window petting the fox. "The moon is coming out," he muttered

Suddenly he yelled in pain, which made them all jump

"He- he- is-" Harry started

"A werewolf" Hermione whispered

Rae started to transform into a werewolf. He had light blond hair covering lightly all over his body. All the animals jerked their head in excitement. The werewolf started to smell about.

"He smells us," Harry whispered. He suddenly started to run toward them "run!" Harry yelled

All four of them turned on the spot and started to run as fast as they could. Harry was in the lead until Draco pushed him hard into the wall of the tunnel and crawled up. Ron ran up and then Harry ran. Hermione nervously tried to climb up but her leg got caught in a root. Rae was speeding up towards them as she struggled to get out of the roots.

"Help!" she yelled
