"As I am a woman, I am the means by which sin enters this world. I am the devil's gateway, the cursed ingress. I am the means by which Satan attacks the man, whom he was not bold enough to attack, except through me. Well, that is their view of the situation. My view is that there are too many priests with scant learning and smaller occupation. And I wish the Pope and the Emperor and all Spaniards were in the sea and drowned."

Chapter 2

"Will they live?" Ned asked as Maester Luwin is tending them. It took all of their strength to separate the two. You have to admit for a scrawny young boy. He sure has a strong grip around the young girl.

The young boy appearance is not always unusual. He is a slender boy with sleek white-blond hair, a pale complexion and rather sharp, pointed features.

The girl on the other hand, looks almost close likes norther girl, like brown hair and fuzzy curls and softens oval face and gentle features.

Judging by their clothing, he would have to guess that they must be some nobility of sorts. Yet he noticed their sigil on their cloaks that has a silver snake in the green background.

"They showed no signs of injury or scratches." Luwin answered Ned.

"But will they live," Cat interjected. "Cat, I don't think it is our right to keep them," Ned gently reminded her that these children are strangers. "I have to agree with Lord Stark, My lady." Luwin intervene between them. "For all, we know they could be enemies of the crown of sorts."

"What if they're not?" Cat retorted to Luwin.

"Shall we see if they brought anything with them?" Luwin stated as they looked into satchels. Ned looks over that the boy seems to bring his snake head cane. Ned can tell that it was worth something. The girl, however brought books with strange books like Fantastic Beast and Where to Find them, Bestiarium Magicum, Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit, The Monster Book of Monsters, Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland, From Egg to Inferno: a Dragon-Keeper's Guide, Most Macabre Monstrosities, A Children's Anthology of Monsters and

…Folio Bruti?

Ned raised one eyebrow in question. It's seems that this girl is fond of mythical creatures. He has not heard about these books. Could it be from the Free Cities or Dorne?

"The boy and the girl have tattoos on their arms. It is the same thing, a skull running through its mouth. They could be from Dorne." Luwin finished his discovery to Catelyn and Ned.

Ned looks at the tattoos and shiver slightly at it. It feels like something dark and awful feeling.

"Maybe they came from house of Manwoody? No, they have a white skull with a golden crown." Ned mumbled and thinking.

"House of Lynderly, perhaps?" Cat mentioned that house. "They used snake as their sigil."

Jory shrugged, "True, unless it's eleven snakes. I would say, this is their personal sigil."

"Since, they are not carrying anything against you, Lord Stark. They are not a danger to anyone right now." Luwin stated.

That is true, but oddly some of these books are about dragons. So, maybe he is right. Just harmless books nothing more or less. "Until they awake from their sleep. We will talk to them." Ned decided as he, Cat and Jory left.

Persephone awake gently as her eye vison blurred until a ceiling is shown. She let out breath and slowly put herself in a sitting position.

This place looks ancient. She looked around and notice its foreign stone walls. Her clothing as she looks down is a sleepwear. Someone undressed her into a nightgown.

She looks down and saw Draco. She quickly went to him and turned his head slightly to check if he is ok.

Draco is breathing calmly and inhale as he slowly opening his eyes. Persephone gave a watery smile as he is okay.

"Persephone…?" Draco wanted to make sure that he is not dreaming

Persephone said nothing and presses her lips onto his forehead. She felt relieved that he is alive and here…! She thanks God every day that he answered her prayers.

'I want to be free.'

She prayed for that every day since she was little.

"Where are we?" Draco whispered as he looked at her.

"I don't know." She looked around the room. By the looks of it, they must be inside some castle and the weather is cold.

"I…think this is a muggle castle." Draco had risen up too quickly and stumbled a little if not by her assistance.

"Merlin's beard." He whispers in horror.

Draco arms went by instinct to grab her into his hold. She knew that Draco was taught like any other pureblood children. Muggles are dangerous beings that did the witch hunt on their kind, but Muggle-born are far worse and inferior beings.

"Let's say, if we don't show our magic." She calmly told him, but Draco held her tighter.

"But, what if…" His body trembles in fear. Persephone leans and kisses on top of his head. She brought up his face to look into his eyes.

"If worse comes to worse, then…" Draco finishes her sentences, "Erase their memories or… Unforgivable curses."

Okay, there is chapter 2. Hopefully you like it. Draco is not on a trusting side because of the bad history of witch hunts and propaganda of Muggle-born from his family. Persephone is caution about them, but she doesn't hate all muggles and muggle-born. Next Chapter, Lord Stark and Lady Stark meet the wizard and witch.
