Note:

Wow, that was an interesting review .VickyPwnsMe.
And yes, I know what I was doing. I was deliberately annoying people because its my soul purpose in life. ;P
Yes, I just admitted to it, and I don't regret it.

But, since you begged, here is the next chapter.
I worked on this all morning and partly into the afternoon just for you!
So be happy!


I sat in the main room next to Fang. We were bored, the new schools were about to announce themselves. I just wanted to eat, but Dumbledore wouldn't start the feast until the schools were ready. I was about to fall asleep, when suddenly the doors burst open. A bunch of young boys and girls suddenly started to float in. They were walking gracefully. If only they saw us in the air! That was magical.

I saw this one girl who looked like she came out of magizine. To perfect. Suddenly, I felt Fang move so that his skin brushed mine, he was staring at the girl. That's when I realized that just about every boy was doing to same. They were all drooling over some hot shot girl. I pulled my hand up and smacked him across the face. He pulled his hand up to his cheek and looked at me, his eyes cold. They seemed to say to me, "What was that for?"

"You were going crazy over that girl." I responded. He suddenly checked his position, he was still leaning over the table. Slowly he made his way back down. I waited until his bottom was back on the seat before I lowered my hand again. The old professor dude said something, and then another group entered. This one was much more tough. They seemed stronger, smarter, and more elite.

An older man walked in last, a broad-faced student walked at his side. I heard gasps, and the murmur of the word crumb. I looked at Fang and whispered, "Why are they talking about crumbs?" Fang shrugged. I sighed, and looked back. The kids were taking a seat, the second group of students sat by the Slytherins, the others sat near Iggy and Luna.

The old dude started talking again, I put my head down, and muttered to Fang, "Wake me up when the geezer is finished talking."

"Max, come on. Stay awake, you'll never know what might come in handy."

"You know, can't you make things a little easier? Like, I don't know, choosing your side. First you didn't want me to be here, now you do. Just make up your mind!" I hissed to my voice.

"Max?" Fang nudged me.

"Sh, voice in Max's head is trying to make up mind." I muttered. Fang rolled his eyes, and gave a soft chuckle. But the voice stopped talking. Typical voice for ya. Always annoying, never helpful.

Suddenly, the food was placed. I looked over it, a bunch of even stranger foods other than pumpkin juice appeared. I took a bowlful, and started to slurp it down. It had a strange tinge, but it was good all the same.


"Luna, what is this stuff?" I asked, looking to where I believed my friend to be.

"I don't know." she said in her misty voice. "I think it's some french food."

"It tis called boui'abaisse. It is most delicious." A voice came from in front of me. I looked to where I believed the voice was.

"That's an interesting name." Luna whispered. "What does it mean?"

"I don't know 'at the vord means in your vanguage. I onvy kno' 'at the vord tis." the voice had an airy tone to it.

"That's interesting. I'm Iggy by the way. And this is Luna." I gestured to where Luna sat beside me.

"Vhy aren't vou looking at me? You are looking past me."

"Oh, well, I can't see you. I'm blind." I explained. Hating that. Stupid scientists, if only there was a type of bomb to take them all out...

"Oh my! That tis 'orrible." she said. "'at 'appened?"

"I, don't like to talk about it." I responded. If they knew about us, we'd all be in danger.

"I am going to go get some more boui'abaisse. We are vout, I see vone more over at the other table." she said. I heard as her feet scraped the floor.

"She's a strange one, isn't she?" Luna asked.

"Sure a strange accent. Which school does she come from?"

"I'm pretty sure she comes from Beauxbatons. I'm pretty sure that they have a french accent." I nodded, and heard her feet start to come back.

"She's coming back." I whispered.

"Oh." Luna sighed. "She just seems like she wants to be the center of attention where ever she goes. If you could see, you'd be able to see all of the other boys going bug-eyed over her. She's pretty, but it is very annoying."

"She sounds like it." I agreed.

As she sat down, Dumbledore started to speak again. I didn't listen, even though I could hear every word. I sighed, and waited for the man to stop. Suddenly, something caught my ear. I heard him say something about this TriWizard Tournament that I'd heard so much about. Suddenly, something was brought out, there was a strange sound, and gasps of amazement rang out over the Great Hall.

I wished that I could see what was happening.

They started talking again, and they talked about an age line. Nobody under seventeen could join. Oh well, it wasn't like I could join or not. I was blind, there was no way this goblet could choose me.

I heard the sound of thousand of feet walking by, I knew that it was time to go to bed. I got to my feet, and Luna's hair brushed my arm. "Would you like to go see the others? You haven't seen them in forever."

"Sure. I'd like to see Gazzy and Angel." I smiled. We waded into the crowd, and finally got out of the Great Hall after what seemed like ages. We walked toward the exit.

"Are you sure I'm allowed to go with you?"

"Yeah. By the way, I think you're ready to learn a secret. But you can't tell it to anyone. You have to promise me that no matter what you'll never tell another soul."

"I promise. It's really that serious? This must be a honor."

"It is." I said as I felt the cool night air brush against my skin. We walked for a while longer, until we reached the cottage. I opened the door, and was greeted by a hug from Angel.

"Iggy! I've missed you so much! Who's your friend? I'm Angel."

"I'm Luna. It's nice to meet you Angel."

"Oh great, you got a girl." I heard Gazzy's voice. I could tell he was next to Angel.

I put out my hand for a high five, so this way I would know exactly where he was. He hit it, and I swung my leg. Direct his on him. I laughed, and he snickered too.

"Nice to meet you Luna. I'm Gazzy." he laughed.

"Hello Gazzy." Luna said.

"Hey guys, I think we should let Luna in on our secret. I've known her long enough to know that she is not one of them, she's safe."

"Are you sure? Did Max-" Angel said.

"No, but I trust her, even if Max doesn't."

"I'm good with it, come on Angel. Come on Iggy, I'll get your shirt. Max left a few with us." Gazzy explained. Gazzy grabbed my arm, and gave me a shirt. He sent me into his and Angel's room, and I quickly get out of my uniform, only keeping my pants and shoes on. I walked out, Angel and Luna where talking.

"So, where is this Total?" Luna asked.

"He said he, um, had to do business. But, he'll be back in a minute." Angel said.

"I was wondering where he was." I laughed.

"Iggy! You're back!" came a voice. I knew this was Total, and I could hear his paws brushing the moist grass. "Who's this?" he asked, I guessed he was looking at Luna.

"Oh, who's this cute dog? Which one of you is a ventriloquist?" she asked.

"That's Total. He's a talking dog. Though Gazzy can imitate just about every voice."

"You mean, every voice." Angel's voice came.

"Gazzy! Don't use my voice!" Angel cried. Gazzy laughed.

"See what I mean?" I sighed.

"Well, its nice to see you Iggy. Who are you?" he asked Luna.

"My name is Luna. It's nice to meet you Total." Luna said.

"It's nice to meet you too Luna."

"Alright Luna. Are you ready to learn our secret? Other than Total, the Amazing and Annoying Talking Dog?" I said.

"Yes." Luna said, her voice was tinged with excitement.

"Okay. Come on guys, time to fly." I said, and let my wings throw out. They were stiff, but they felt good. I heard Angel's and Gazzy's toss out too. Luna didn't make a noise.

"That, is amazing." Luna gasped finally.

"But wait. Luna, come here, and let me hold you." I said. She was slow, but then I hooked her with my arms going under her arms, and I made sure her back was to me.

"Alright everyone. Ready?" I asked.

"Of course!" Gazzy said.

"Yep!" Angel said, but I could tell that she was worried. I had my wings pump back and forth, until we were high in the air.

"You can fly! This is amazing!" Luna cried.

"This is why I'm blind." I whispered in her ear.

"What?" Luna asked.

"We were taken by scientists when we were infants. I could see then. We lived in dog cages. Then I was used to see if they could increase my raptor vision. The surgery went horribly wrong. Now I'm blind." I whispered.

"Oh." Luna said.

"We all were. Me, Max, Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. None of us related, but each horrible mutants."

"Do you know your parents?"

"Yeah. They live in Virginia, it's in America. I met them, and they wanted to give out the secret. Get me on a hilarious T.V. show. All those kinds of things."

"Looks like you've had it kind of rough." Luna said, with some unspoken sadness in her voice.

"You have no idea." I whispered back. "Come on, I'll fly you back to your room. Just tell me which way to go."

"Alright." Luna said, and we flew back toward the castle. I hoped that I didn't just make a horrible mistake.
