Chapter 3: Yearbooks and Sketches

"You're kidding right?" Neville said as they told the remaining three their story, "You mean both Snape and Dumbledore talked to Kee-Hong about that psycho?" said Seamus, "Yeah I mean it was on our way back when they mentioned it. Come to think of it I did see something odd about her the day of the fight," Harry said and Ron nodded as well. "Her eyes glowed," said Draco, "You sure it was not her glasses?" asked Neville, "Yep I could tell it was not her glasses because it was not reflecting light. It came straight from her eyes I swear to god!" Draco replied and for once Harry agreed with him.

LATER

They all curled up for bed but Harry's mind was on the one called Hakkai as he looked towards the ceiling thinking until his mind drifted into a deep sleep, but sleep was not to last for long.

HARRY'S VISION

"Have you found it yet?" said the hissing voice of Lord Voldemort (a.k.a. Moldy Wart/ Tom Riddle). "No sir," said a Deatheater one Harry recognized as Lucius Malfoy. "We searched everywhere for it but could not find it," with that Voldemort grew angry, "Crucio!" he growled and Lucius fell. "I have searched for nearly seventeen years for that creature. I personally sealed its powers the day it was born! From what I'm getting from you not even a single tracking spell can find it?" he said his voice growing lower and lower, "Yes my Lord,"

The dark Lord Voldemort began to pace, "For seventeen years I have kept that secret from Dumbledore, and for all those years I could not find where that bloody monster is hidden. I've cursed it with the dark mark to seal its powers until I have a use for it. And now that I do I CAN'T FUCKEN FIND IT!" he bellowed and his deatheaters shrank back in fear. "That creature is the last of its kind the only one still in existence; I need its power, its blood to make me even more powerful then Dumbledore. That creature is the key and I've searched all through America to find it, and now I know it is still alive! If that billowing old man can't find it all the more I find it urgent that I find it UNDERSTAND!" with that he sent another curse at his deatheaters.

END OF VISION

Harry fell off the bed screaming as he clutched his scar in pain as drops of blood fell through his fingers. He continued to scream as the pain became more intense. He could feel Voldemort's anger in a fiery gaze as it tore through him. Another even louder scream filled his ears as he looked at all the faces of his friends. "Harry mate are you alright?" asked Seamus, "Was it Voldemort again?" Ron asked and Harry nodded, "You can see the dark lord?" Draco asked, "Yeah and he knows it. I also can feel the Cruciatus curse every time he uses it." Harry replied as lightning flashed and thunder roared. It was when the next round of thunder roared that a scream could be heard. Forgetting his glasses they group watched as Harry stood up and leaped off his bed. The scream happened again as he ran from his room out into the hall ignoring the blood on his forehead.

Harry ran through the halls as people came out of their dorms to see who was screaming but he ignored. Without his glasses brought relief to Harry. It was good not being able to see all the distress of his dorm as he ran down the stairs and out the doors to the grounds. His scar was now burning full force and he dropped to his knees for a minute as lightning flashed in the sky and rain pounded on his body.

Someone was on the grounds screaming in pain. Harry's pain was put aside as Ron and the rest of the boys appeared with Ron carrying his glasses. Handing it to Harry he turned chalk white at the sight that Ron and the others were looking at. Putting on his glasses Harry focused on the image of the person screaming. Right in front of them Harry realized that the person was none other then Hakkai.

She was clutching her arm withering in pain and moving as if her whole body was in pain. Harry was used to the constant Cruciatus curses he felt when Voldemort's deatheaters were being punished. For Hakkai he remembered Headmaster Kee-Hong saying that she lashes out at anyone who got too close. "Let's go," said Seamus but Harry stayed rooted in place. Ron and Draco watched stunned and Dean, Seamus and Neville turned and watched in horror as Harry slowly approached the agonizing Hakkai.

Hakkai growled low at him as he tried to get closer and noticed that her eyes were indeed glowing. He watched as her claws were fully extended and she was growling low like a werewolf. At first Harry almost thought it was a werewolf he was facing until he remembered that the full moon had already past. Slowly driven by instinct he crept up to her like he would do to Buckbeak. She backed away holding her bloody arm growling and mewling at him. Slowly Harry and the others approached her. Hakkai bore her sharp teeth and Harry could see that they are no longer normal but all fangs.

He was the first to be near to her and without thinking bowed low. "Harry are you mad!" Neville said this time stuttering the whole way, "I don't know it seems like the best way," he said slowly and they reluctantly bowed as well thinking Harry went nuts.

Taking light steps back Kai growled low and lashed out with her claws getting Harry in the face leaving deep dark lines of red to add to the ones already on his face. The wind began to pick up and when the lightning flashed Kai recoiled in horror as she looked at his face. She screamed again this time in fear and tried to run but she tripped and landed face first in the mud. Harry was at her side in an instant.

She fought and kicked trying to get away from Harry in her fright. Being without fear for some reason Harry grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace and held her as she struggled. "Are you insane Potter?" Malfoy yelled at him but he held on to Kai as she bit into his shoulder ripping out flesh with her teeth and Harry screamed in pain as she sunk her teeth further into his flesh. "HARRY!" they all screamed at him. This time the entire school was watching as Kai bit in to his flesh even further. "It is ok," Harry said weakly as he started to stroke the frightened Hakkai. Blood was gushing from the bite wound on his shoulder as he held her close.

His grip was firm as she bucked and kicked struggling to get out of his grasp as she kneed him hard in the ribs. Harry held firm as he felt is ribs crack from the impact. He continued to hold onto Kai and muttering words of comfort even though he was shaking with fear on the inside. He was scared of this girl but for some instinct he held on. Something told him to hold on and to comfort her as she struggled in his grasp.

Kai eventually stopped clawing and began to relax in his embrace as he stroked her head gently like how he would do to Hedwig. The psycho girl began to whimper as he stroked her and her whimpering turned into crying sobs. Harry felt the tears as they burned into the wound mixing with the blood and rain. He winced in pain and felt something in his shoulder flicking in and out and realized that.

Hakkai was licking his blood.

She began to take some of his blood and watched as some of hers mixed with his from her wounds on her face. She moved up his face to the surprise of his friends and began to lick the blood from his scar. Harry was horror stricken and was about to shove her away, "Stop," a voice said and Harry turned to find the Headmaster there with an umbrella, "Let her," he said gently. Harry complied as she continued to clean his wound like a cat would do to groom itself. "She did that with me a few times," he said showing Harry the scars that still have not healed right. Harry then started to feel woozy from the lost of blood and his vision grew blurry as he fell into blissful darkness.

"I think he is coming around," said a voice and Harry looked up to see his roommates minus a Slytherin. Their faces were so close Harry almost thought they had gone homosexual on him. Laughing at his reaction they gave him his glasses. Putting them on Harry groaned as he felt pain in his shoulder and the events of the previous night came flooding back. "Where is Hakkai?" Harry asked, "She is fine she is in class, by the way we got our subject for music," he said looking glum, "What?" Harry asked, "Harry we have to do Rock music," Seamus said and Harry's face stopped working, "What?" "You heard him how can we play music with rocks?" Ron said and Harry then let it register in his head before slowly getting up realizing that more then just his shoulders hurt. "Now don't do too much Mr. Potter those ribs still have not healed yet," said the school physician as he came and checked up on Harry's shoulder.

"Rock music?" Harry said letting it sink into his head. "Yeah we have to try playing music with rocks," said Draco and Harry began to laugh but stopped when pain began to fill his body again. "No it is called Rock because it shakes the building the music is playing," Harry said remembering his cousin always playing that music in the house. He almost laughed at the expression his aunt gets when she hears that and has to yell at him to turn it down. Harry can imagine that all too well, "Oh and Harry we have one other member to our group," said Dean, "Oh and who is it?" Harry asked, "Hakkai,"

Harry spent the next few days in the hospital recovering from the attack but luckily for him the nurse allowed the boys to stay as a means of getting Harry to feel better. But on the fifth day the boys all had class so Harry was left alone. Draco would come in to deliver Harry's homework saying something like 'Idiot Gryffindors not useful one bit,' and 'I am reduced to the rank of a servant,' Harry didn't mind though as he sat down and studied his physics notes he had gotten from Eddie when an unexpected surprise came.

Hermione walked in with a book obviously Harry's Hogwarts notes but she came in with someone else. A very familiar person came in the form of Hakkai Hunter as she walked in her arm in a bandage. "Ah Miss Hunter I was expecting you," said the voice of the school physician as he came followed by the nurse. He carefully unwrapped Kai's arm as she stared at him with her cold uncaring eyes. When he finished unwrapping her arms the dark mark shown in its fullest. Harry could see that it was larger then the dark mark on Snape's arm. It was black but slowly he could see it start to fade back to its original colors. "Still looks ugly but the bleeding stopped," said the doctor as he inspected the tattoo. "I swear Kai sixteen years and it still bleeds like it is fresh," he said and Kai did not answer.

Hermione walked towards Harry's bed and sat down, "Hi Harry," she said and Harry greeted her back, "How is she doing?" Harry asked and Hermione shrugged, "Well she is doing better I suppose I don't have any classes with her. Though that stare of hers unnerves me," Hermione then sat down beside Harry, "Besides Ron told me of the damage that she did to you," she said looking at his bare chest and all the bandages on it. There was still a bit of red on the shoulder wound. "While you were in the hospital I managed to look up some old yearbooks here at Winchester. It seems that Kai has been in a club," she said flipping the pages of the book to one that said, 'The Earth Preservation Club'. Harry then stared at the picture of Kai.

The picture of Kai helping a bird was something he would never see come to pass until he remembered what Eddie said.

"Her only escape is at the London Zoo or at the local Aquarium. She rather hang with animals then people,"

Harry then stared at the picture of Kai looking peaceful helping an owl a snowy owl to be exact till something caught his eye.

Kai was looking at something around the owl's neck. The owl looked at her with full trust as she appeared to pick up something in her feathers.

It was a gold chain with a name on it.

Harry remembered Hagrid explaining to him about owl identification tags. These tags can only be seen by the receiver of the letter if they can't remember the owl's name. The owl in the picture obviously had its attention on Kai as she read the tag. What made Harry's heart stop beating was the name written on the tag of the owl.

HEDWIG

Harry remembered the owl coming late with one of his letters a letter from Sirius. That was when there was a bad storm brewing after his fifth year he had just gotten off detention that night when he realized that Hedwig had been late in giving him his reply from Sirius. He remembered when she came home that she was a little tender on the wing. He tried to pet her on that side but it was still a little stiff and sore so he must have guessed that she sprained it or something before muttering a quick healing charm.

Now he knew what truly happened.

The image of Hedwig brought in some revelations as to what had happened. She must have broken her wing somewhere and Kai had found her and nursed her back to health. He flipped through a few more pages of club images and saw Kai with various other animals. There was one of her in what appears to be talking to a dolphin at the aquarium. The one that also got his interest was of a picture of Kai holding a snake a very poisonous snake. The snake was a western diamondback rattle snake. The snake was in her hand and its tongue flicking out at the camera. The rattle was not going to strike and Kai held it like it was nothing but a toy. Harry wondered if she could speak Parseltongue as well when something caught his eye. Looking closer he could see the dark mark on her left arm.

When he was done he handed Hermione the yearbook, "Recognize the owl?" she asked and Harry nodded, "it was Hedwig; is that why you showed it to me?" Harry asked and she nodded. "Yeah I was looking through it with another girl in my photography class when I saw this picture. I was startled that Hakkai liked animals but when I saw the tag I knew." She said, "Well we know for a fact where Hedwig went and how she had gotten to come in so late," Harry said.

Just then something made them jump only to discover the doctor telling Hakkai it was ok to leave. "I swear the way she goes with animals," he muttered as he approached the bed, "I am sorry but visiting hours are over and our young patient needs some rest." He said, "See ya Harry," Hermione said and gave him a hug but pulled back when he winced. She walked out of the room before the doctor returned to check on Harry.

DORM ROOM 6B EAST WING THIRD FLOOR

"Who knew that Japanese was so hard!" Neville complained as he fell back on his bed. He had already finished his transfiguration essay and now he was doing his Japanese homework. They were doing the writing system and started working on Kanji when Neville was sure his head was going to explode. "Well why didn't you take Latin like the rest of us?" asked Dean, "I did not want to take it besides I wanted to learn something outside of Europe," Neville said puffing his chest out. The other boys laughed at his antics. "So what now Neville are you going to cry at all this or are you going to join the rest of us?" Seamus said, "Harry is in the same class as me so he could help me when he feels better," Neville said and the other boys stopped their antics and went back to studying.

The only one who was not studying was Draco as he looked at Neville with a cool expression. "What are you looking at Malfoy?" Neville asked him no longer afraid of the Slytherin. "I am just wondering about something that is all," he said, "About slitting our throats?" Ron asked from his bed where he was reading a charms book. "No about that night," he said and the others stopped what they were doing and stared. "I mean it! Why would Potter suddenly drop everything and run outside? All because of some screaming? I mean I can understand his connection to You-Know-Who but to suddenly go and comfort that crazy chick he must truly be insane to risk his life like that," he said and the others looked at Draco skeptically, "Well Harry is just being Harry he doesn't care if you are a psycho or a sweet person he puts others needs before his." Said Ron going back to his work, "Still something is not right?" Draco said "Oh sod off Malfoy!" Seamus said and the Slytherin eventually gave up and reached for his music book.

THE NEXT DAY AT THE HOSPITAL

Harry woke to something scratching and then scrapping on his side. Turning over he reached for his glasses and put them on. What surprised him though is the figure on the table next to him drawing on a pad of paper.

It was Hakkai

It was apparent that she was drawing something as she was busy looking at him and then continued her drawing. She scratched and erased with her tongue sticking out of her mouth in a comical way. Once or twice a weird sound would come out of her mouth and then she made the book bend up a bit and it was replied by another weird noise. Harry then looked up and to his surprise Hedwig was perched on the post of the bed next door. Kai clicked a few times and Hedwig responded by clicking some other sounds and Kai nodded before sketching some more. She then began to grab something from a small blue bag on the side of her and more scraping was heard.

Harry looked in confusion as the girl scratched and scraped and kept changing pencils as she continued to do so. Harry was amazed at the concentration of the girl in front of him. Her dark eyes focused on her subject and when she looked up she stopped and stared coldly at him. "Um hi," he said lamely. Hakkai tilted her head and then turned to Hedwig chirping a few things to her and Hedwig chirped and hooted back. She only gave him a cold look before going back to her what ever it was that she was doing. She continued to do so till the bell rang and then gotten up with her things and was about to leave. Hedwig hooted and Kai turned to the owl. Smiling she put the book back down and walked out.

Harry slowly slipped from his bed and walked over to where the book lay open on the table. Slowly he peered down at the book and found to his amazement a drawing of him sleeping peacefully on the bed. Kai had drawn him on his bed fast asleep looking peaceful like a baby. He flipped the pages over and saw various things mostly dark though. He could see things he recognized like Hippogriffs and trolls and stuff. A lot of people in skimpy clothes with swords or wizards with robes holding glowing staffs and wands. Won't she be surprised he thought as he flipped through the book. One thing that caught his eye was the drawings she had of wolves and dragons.

Now Harry was no stranger to dragons but this one caught his eye. The dragon in the picture did not have four legs like the dragons he had seen before. It looked like a cross between an Asian dragon and a European dragon. The dragon was long and snake like just like the Chinese dragon, but instead of fore claws it had huge leather but feather like wings. It was black with bits of white on its underbelly. It appeared to be more birdlike then lizard with back limbs like those of a birds as well as its head which ended in a beak instead of a snout. Two horns came from behind its eye ridge along with what appears to be feathers covering its skin. It looks like a normal dragon except for the feathers but it still is the same typical if not weird dragon. The eyes of the dragon caught his attention it was like looking into the eyes of an eagle. They were sharp and unnerving like they ruled the world. Harry thought the wings were bad enough but the eyes reminded him so much of the creator of the drawing. They were cold and piercing yet full of a sense of longing that Harry had only seen in Hakkai.

The background of the picture was that of a storm brewing in the distance. He could see the wind in the trees and the lighting flashing in the background. He also saw what appears to be rain around the dragon. Its gaping mouth wide open ready to flame as he could see what appears to be light coming from its throat. He was about to put the picture down again when something caught his eye. Upon closer inspection Harry realized that someone was on the dragon's back. It was hard to see but the image was very clear. Someone was peaking from behind the dragon's shoulder blades. Harry was mesmerized by the image on the dragon's back. He could barely make it out but shrugged as he placed it back on the ground and returned to his bed to finish the assignments given to him by his classmates.
