DRACO'S POV
We stalked him as he walked down the hall. Alex Smith, First year Gryffindor student from The United States made for the easiest target. He was by far the smallest student in school as well as least physically coordinated. I think I even once saw trip over his own feet falling face first on the floor, spilling his text books and supplies everywhere.
I told Goyle to first take his wand. Once he was disarmed then Crabbe would hold him still while I questioned him. Goyle could flog him if he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear.
As Goyle reached for him, the pint-sized Potter wanna-be dodged out of the way, pulling his wand to the ready.
ALEX'S POV
I could hear them following across the castle, Malfoy's malicious tongue whispering instructions and commands. I could hear Crabbe and Goyle's laughing, chuckles and heavy breathing as they closed their distance between them and me. I knew when and how they'd make their move. I knew that first they'd go my wand. Then they would try to hold me down and ask me questions. What I didn't know is why they were doing this and what info they wanted to get from me.
As Goyle crept up behind me, out-stretching his massive chubby paw for my wand, I dodged out the way, pulling my wand to the ready. The gasp from Malfoy mouth was almost comical as he yipped like a scarred little puppy. "Not a step further." I said, staring down my pursers.
The three of them didn't even see me, Little Alex as enough of a threat to draw their wands before jumping me. Now here they stood, defenseless as I pointed my wand directly at their leader Malfoy who's shaking gave away the fear that he now felt as he looked down the tip of my wand. I wish Harry could see me now! I thought.
"I don't what you three goons want with me and I really don't care, if any of you takes one more step my way, all three of you will be spitting slugs for a week . . . or worse!" I warned.
"Wh-what? Who do you think you are?" Malfoy stammered. "Goyle takes his wand!"
"But . . ." Goyle said.
"Take it!" Malfoy shouted.
DRACO'S POV
How dare he? The nerve of this pre-pubescent Potter wanna-be. Pointing his wand at me! I'm Draco Malfoy! He's not even from our country! Stupid first year probably doesn't even know any spells yet. Heck, he probably can't even flick his wand correctly! HA, threaten a Malfoy! We'll see . . .
"Take it!" I commanded Goyle. The big oaf paused momentarily. Really? Goyle was scared of that little pipsqueak? I guess if you want anything done right you have to do it yourself. I reached into my and felt the butt of my wand . . .
"What do we have here?" Snape asked as he came around the corner.
"He attacked us!" I shouted, thinking quickly.
"That's not true." Alex said. "They were going to jump me."
"What?" Crabbe said. Good job Crabbe! I thought to myself.
"As I see it, you are the one pointing your wand at them." Snape said, walking to Alex and pushing his wand down. "10 points will be deducted from Gryffindor for poor judgment. Now return to your dormitory at once."
"That's not fair!" Alex exclaimed.
"5 more points" Snape declared. "Need we make it any more?"
"Hmmph." Alex said looking at Snape as he stomped away.
"As for you three . . . don't you have some studying to complete. With finals coming, we wouldn't want any of our Slytherin brethren falling behind." Snape said.
"Of course not" I answered.
Maybe not this time but sometime soon, Alex would get it, even if I had to see to it personally.
EDWARD'S POV
Were all wizards this weird? I thought to myself as I talked to Luna. She had been really nice and had explained to me the entire misunderstanding. "I wish that this hadn't all gone done the way that it did." I said.
"Yes, me too. I'm afraid that your shifter friends will not be as understanding of the situation. I hate to think what kind of embarrassment that he put them through." Luna said, her eyes still wandering around the room.
"Well at least they'll need to understand that he is a giant and going toe to toe with a giant is never easy." I offered.
"Half-Giant actually" Luna said. "A full giant might have eaten one of your friends."
"That'd be a shame." There was a moment's pause. Outside in the distance I could hear the pack regrouping for a full out assault. "I need to get out there and try to stop this before it goes any further."
"I agree." She added.
While Luna was unquestionably the most different or un-normal person that I'd ever met, she had also been very kind. She had explained the full situation. I was sure that once Carlisle understood too that he'd want to help Luna's friend Ron in any way that he could. As a Doctor and a caring soul, Carlisle never would let someone suffer or die if there was anything that he could do to help. But before I could contact Carlisle or even Bella, I needed to stop the Pack from killing all the wizards that had come seeking our help.
I led Luna out the front door to find . . .
To be continued!
A note from BLOATMAN: In this chapter I introduced an Original Character Alex Smith. When I started writing this I hadn't intended on adding OC's but I think he seemed to fit. Going forward, the size of the part that Alex plays in this story will depend on you, my readers! Please let me know if liked the addition of Alex or disliked it and if you'd like to see more of him in the future or if a one shot cameo was enough. THANKS FOR READING!
