SLENDERMAN SHALT GET YOOOOUUUUUU! *coughcough* my friend showed me Slenderman, now I love Slender.

HE JUST WANTZ A HHUUUUGGGG!

*Not*

I waited quietly at the Astronomy tower, wearing a pair of black pants, and one of my shirts from the spirit world. I heard footsteps on the stairs, and froze.

"Kohana? Are you up here?" A voice came. Draco.

"Yes." I said, conjuring a green flame in the palm of my hand .

"Whoa…" Draco looked at it, "So…could you…?"

I nodded mutely, and set the fire in the air, where it twisted and twirled.

I changed into my dragon form, whiskers flowing beside me, head bowed. I didn't look at Draco, until I felt a hand run through my mane. A slight shiver went through me.

"What exactly…are you..?" He asked quietly. I said nothing, not like I could in this form, "My name actually means 'Dragon'… how fitting…"

And mine means I'm a river spirit…

"Really? That what you are?!" Draco said a bit too loudly. I froze.

Y-you can understand me…

"What does that mea-" He stopped dead. Footsteps were coming our way.

Get on!

He clambered onto my back, gripping my mane tightly, and I shot up into the sky.

"Holy sshhiiittt!" He cried out into the wind.

Language, Draco. I chided gently, and flicked my tail, sending us away from the tower.

"When you said you were a river spirit, what did you mean, Kohana?" Draco asked, leaning closer to my ear.

You wouldn't understand….

"I can try."

There is such thing in Japan called the Spirit World. In this place, lays a bath house, that's where I lived until recently. I had a brother named Haku. The river in which we dwelled flowed to directions, east and west. I was east, he was west. The leader of the bath house, Yubaba, steals your name, so you can't leave unless you figure out your name.

He was silent, "Kohana…Haku… drop the hana… Kohaku River! I've heard of that! My family went on a trip to Japan once! It was filled up, an apartment was built there!"

Yes.

"How did you leave?"

A human child remembered my brother saving her one time.

"Oh…" A sudden chill swept over us, "K-Kohana, D-Dementors!"

I snarled, Shit! Hold on!

I felt his grip tighten, and I began to speed up greatly.

I headed for the tower, and slid him off my back, and started to fly off again, thinking one last thing to him, Get Remus!

I didn't hear his response.

The Dementors were after me, me being a spirit attracted them to a great height.

Once of them flew over me, and my vision went black for a second, making me slam had into a tree.

I coughed, and scrambled back into the air.

They were gaining one me, three this time, three times the blackness, back into a tree.

I scrambled slowly back into the air, coughing. I had flown halfway around the castle, and I could see the part where Remus was staying.

A white light was coming from it.

The draining cold came over me again, making me fall, slamming into the wall, falling to the ground. I faintly heard someone call my name, and my eyes snapped open.

Snarling, I shot up the side of the building.

"Expecto Patronum!" The Dementors flew away, and I crashed into the empty room.

I crashed into one of the walls, unable to stop myself

"Kohana!" I heard his voice through a veil of pain. I could feel a warm substance dripping from my mouth. I stumbled around the room, mouth still opened in a slight snarl. I caught a glimpse of Draco's pale face, scared and horrified. That was the last thing I saw before the veil of black took over my vision.

…

I woke up to a coughing fit. Not a pleasant wake up.

"Come-on-now-Kohana-swallow!" Said Remus, holding my snout down. I thrashed, but finally swallowed, the vile after taste stinging my heighten senses. I could hear something drip thickly onto the floor.

'I-is she alright?" I heard someone's worried voice. I sunk down to the ground, groaning, my long body making a slight plopping sound.

"She should be fine. The Dementors affect her more because of her being a spirit, which by the way, what were you think, Kohana?!" Remus said.

Tell him to shut up. I thought to Draco wearily.

"She says to tell you to shut up," Draco said with a shrug.

"You can understand her?" Remus asked in disbelief. Draco nodded. I coughed once more, the vile after taste of the potion lingering.

Draco walked next to me, kneeling down next to my head. I blinked at him.

He ran a hesatent hand through my mane, "Are you alright?"

I sent a slight nod in reply, I should have thought about the Dementors, I could have gotten you seriously hurt, and with Black out on the loose-my head hurts-I should have thought more carefully about it.

Draco absentmindedly petted me. I didn't feel up to reminding him I wasn't a pet, "It wasn't your fault."

I flicked my ear. I could feel Remus' stare on me. I would have to explain later, but I wouldn't be changing out of my dragon form unless I had to. I preferred this form. I felt something nudge my side, and dragged my head to look at it. It was one of the soot balls that Kamaji had created, he gave it to me as a parting gift. I shifted my body, and held out one, scaled foot. It happily bounced into it, and weaved around my talons. I gave a dragonish laugh, that resulted in me coughing again. The soot puff-Sooty-jumped into my mane, making it stand up straight. It jumped again, and Draco caught it. Sooty made a huffy face at him, and coughed soot in his face. I opened up my claws again, and Sooty jumped back to me, grinning. I nudged him with my muzzle, and he jumped away, scurrying along the floor. I laid my head back on.

"Professor," Draco said, turning to Remus, "Is it possible that I could come here tomorrow and see her?"

Remus sighed, and nodded, "Come after classes, but I suggest you act as if nothing has changed. You CANNOT tell anyone. It would either end in two ways: one, Kohana getting taken to the Ministry, because she's a dragon, two, she gets taken to the Ministry because she's an unregistered Amagi."

Draco winced, "I won't."

I didn't move."Kohana, are you up to changing out of your dragon form?" I slowly shook my head, and he sighed, "Fine, just stay in this room, then. Mr. Malfoy, you'd better head back to your dorm."

Draco nodded, and stood, "Night, Professor, Kohana." I grunted in reply.

Reus forced me to take a sleeping potion, and I sighed as my eyelids dropped, the forced sleep coming over me.
