X. Gold brigade

The two months passed fast. Frozen Fire found herself inside the forest within the first two weeks of her life. Kelly came every now and then to help the Centaurs communicate with her. They could do it alone most of time, but since dragons have magic of their own, and a very strong one at that, Kelly needed to come at least once a month so that Frozen Fire can remain calm. With school, dragon and keeping balance within Slytherin, Kelly didn't even notice that she didn't get a single visit from Katista family.

It was Kelly's last day at Hogwarts before they head off to their homes for Christmas. She mostly spent it packing for holydays. Kelly was told that she will spend her holydays at Malfoy Manor because Narcissa had a vacation arranged in France together with her friends. While she was packing she thought back to her first confrontation with The-Boy-Who-Lived.

It was a sunny and rather warm day for November. Kelly was enjoying it outside by the lake together with Blaise and Draco. Suddenly she heard a splash and looked towards the lake. In it was a girl with strawberry blonde hair. On the shore there were two boys and the girl and Kelly identified them as the Golden Trio. As much as were Potter, Weasley and Granger Golden trio of Hogwarts, Kelly, Draco and Blaise were Silver. They were always on some silent warpath. Draco and Granger were constantly battling for the best of the year. Weasley and Blaise always sat in the corner, silently fuming about one thing or the other. Kelly and Harry were different tough. Harry stayed away from her because she reminded him of his mother while Kelly stayed away so she doesn't throttle him. Anyway, the girl was in the lake and the Golden Trio was laughing at her. Seeing that they won't help the girl, Kelly sent Blaise for professor Snape and then marched straight to the. Granger seeing that Kelly got up sent Weasley for McGonagall. Tough she was surprised. Kelly just knelt on the shore and said to the girl while pulling her out: "Are you ok?"

"I-I th-think s-so", the girl said it with chattering teeth.

Kelly was just getting up with her when Potter said: "Oh, please Black. I thought that you weren't that pathetic. The girl is no one important."

Kelly didn't answer anything and just continued walking with the girl she found out was called Susan Bones and just as Potter was pulling his wand at her Snape shouted: "Fifteen points from Gryffindor and detention with me Potter for endangering a fellow student, twice!" As much as Snape hated Black, he hated Potter more. At least when he sees Black somewhere he is not as annoyed as whenever he sees Potter.

Kelly remembered that moment very well because it meant that Snape will still protect her even if she is a Black.

Later when they were boarding the train Kelly, Draco and Blaise stayed quiet. All of them had many thoughts to process. Unknown to each other their thoughts weren't that different. Draco was thinking about an event that happened about a month ago.

He was walking down the stairs to the dungeons when he suddenly fell through the floor. He was in a dark room and he couldn't see anything but he could hear rustling. He started turning around to figure out from where it was coming when a force pulled him to a chair in the corner and had him bound by ropes to that chair. After he was bound the light went up and he saw a male and female with silvery blonde hair. The female moved forward and said: "Greetings Dragon son of Flower and, Light who made many wrong choices. I am Tenebris. I rule the shadows in the absence of the queen. You have shown great strength magically. My partner Sapientes and I want to offer you a place in Golden Brigade. It is an army for her majesty Golden Phoenix. Many races are in it, vampires werewolves, veelas, centaurs and even house elves. Some dragon trainers joined because of many dragons that are mistreated. All that join us are there for one goal, and that is to help the Queen in saving the innocent creatures that suffer. Think about it."

With that last word he was back on the stairs. Even if he wanted to say something he couldn't.

Blaise had almost the same thoughts. He was also called to the Brigade. He already decided to join, but he wanted to know who is the queen he will be helping.

While the two of them were thinking about the Golden Brigade, Kelly was thinking about Frozen Fire. The dragon was very bright. She was progressing wonderfully and Centaurs even agreed to give her their protection. Frozen was also the reason why Centaurs agreed to teach Kelly about reading the stars. They would have taught her that even without Frozen because she showed interest in it and she was their queen. Frozen helped Kelly in return, greatly. The dragon helped her accept what she really was.

They didn't even realize that it has passed that much time and they were already at the station. Draco and Kelly parted their ways with Blaise on the train and went to search for Lucius who will be bringing them to the Malfoy Manor via portkey.

It wasn't hard to find him because he was rather tall and his hair always sparkled in the light.

"Hello children. We will go in a minute. Sirius is waiting for us at the manor with Walburga."

"Uncle, will we go somewhere interesting these holydays?" Kelly asked excitedly.

"Yes, actually, we will but it is a surprise so, hush. Now grab the portkey," Lucius answered. After they grabbed the portkey they were whisked off to the manor.
