It was Halloween and Fechin knew it. Halloween is a special day for acid dragons because that was the day 100 acid dragons were alive nearly 10,000 years ago, now there are only six acid dragons left. The main reason acid dragons declined is because their scales were used as shields and that their blood would give 50 years of life to the drinker. And all acid dragons are bond to an oath from birth until death that every Halloween, the acid dragons would attempt to rid the world of all Betrayers, those who in the dragons time of need, turned against them. Those few wizards that found the secret to the acid dragon were able to kill them. With the remaining 400 the acid dragons hunted them down. 11 dragons remained after the bloody battle, 10 eggs and one female, and with her dying breath, in the light of a full moon, she cursed the Betrayers. She cursed them to never forget this horrid thing that they did, so every full moon, the Betrayers would turn into the most horrid creature of all, the wolf. Six eggs hatched, the others were cracked. 2,000 years ago Fechin was hatched.
Wile the Halloween feast was starting, Lupin wandered onto campus to give Dumbledore something and Fechin sensing he was near opened her stall door.
As the feast started Harry felt a strange feeling come from Fechin.
"What is it Harry?" Hermione asked, and in reply got an anger roar from Fechin, quieting the whole Great Hall, making some first year Hufflepuffs go white.
After roaring Fechin stretched her wings and took off, following panicking Lupin.
Fechin? Harry asked, with no reply he tried again, Fechin? Still no reply.
"Holy shit! Ha ha that guy is being creamed!" some third year that was crowding at the window said. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione and the looked at him. Then they all looked at the teacher's table and found them all gone except McGonagall who was reading a Seventeen magazine.
Fechin was extremely mad when the teachers came out. Why would you come to the aid of a Betrayer? She wondered to herself, then sprayed acid toward Dumbledore and let out another roar. The other acid dragons could hear this roar even if they were miles away. It would call them; they would come if they were not destroying betrayers. Three male acid dragons came, Cathair, (Irish for battle lord, pronounced KA-heer) Ciaran, (Irish for black, pronounced KEE-a-rawn) and Dubhagall (Irish for dark foreigner, pronounced DU-gal). Being that these dragons were males, they were much bigger than Fechin.
Thud. Some glasses of pumpkin juice shattered to the floor.
Thud. The windows raddled, then all four dragons screeched. An earsplitting sound that broke the windows and glasses.
Then Dubhagall spoke in the old tongue, "Thee who comes to aid of Betrayer, is no friend of dragons. Thou of all humans should know that, Albus. You were there, does thee forget what thine kind did?"
"Is it just me or did every thing just get colder?" Hermione asked.
"Dear Dubhagall, he is a friend, not a foe," Dumbledore said.
"Friend or foe, thou is still a Betrayer, nothing can change what is done! You will regret this, Albus!" Dubhagall roared and sent a river or acid toward him, missing and hitting Lupin square in the middle. Dumbledore, enraged threw a knife, which cut a slit in Dubhagall's wing thus, enraging Dubhagall who bit down strongly on Dumbledore's shoulder and shook him then blew acid onto his shoulder and flung him. Then all three dragons departed and Fechin departed to the barns.
What happened? Harry asked Fechin the next day.
The past, Fechin answered. Why?
Well, it's just that your friend-Brother, Fechin corrected.
Brother, tried to kill Dumbledore-If Dubhagall had wanted to kill him, he would have, Fechin interrupted.
And he tried to kill off Lupin, luckily both of them are ok, Harry finished.
Luckily? He should have died! He is a Betrayer! One of them who deserve to die! How dare that crackpot old fool try to save a Betrayer! He was there, over 2,000 years ago; he of all humans should know what a horrid thing his kind did. Fechin said angrily.
Lupin is my friend, Harry said hotly.
WHAT! A Betrayer? Friend? But you own an acid dragon! Fechin said, her thoughts shaking with rage.
But Lupin hasn't done anything!
Not yet, but soon the Betrayers will rise up again! Fechin said.
Fechin, what is up with you? Harry asked.
You and your 'Lupin hasn't done anything' crap, and oh ya last night's Lost was a freakin rerun!
I know, what's up with that rerun crap? Anyway why are you dubbing Lupin a 'Betrayer'?
I swear I'll kill those directors if they rerun again! Lupin is a Betrayer because he is an, oh what do you call it?
Please kill them. Are you searching for the word 'werewolf'? Harry asked.
Maybe I will! Yes, thank you, Lupin is a Betrayer because he is a werewolf, if you want further information about the legend, Harry please go to the library, Fechin said, so Harry left to go to the library.
In the library, Harry ran into Hermione.
"Hello, what brings you here?" Hermione asked under a stack of books.
"Searching for the acid dragon legend or something about 'Betrayers'" Harry said.
"Oh, I have one," She said handing him an aged book, "There you go, please don't walk away with that, I do want to read it."
After reading what he needed, Harry wandered off to find Ron.
