Marilyn and Turner wandered the streets of Hogsmeade for several hours before they ended up in the Three Broomsticks where they spent an hour. 

"How's everything with the Order going?" Marilyn asked as she sipped her butterbeer. 

Turner made a face but shrugged. "Fine, I suppose. Sirius is mad there's no one ever in Headquarters. You should visit him sometime." He suggested.

Marilyn nodded, she would have to do that.

"I will," she agreed and then tilted her head, "No one in the Order knows Marvol or I are animagi, do they?"

He shook his head, "No, not my secret to tell." He said and Marilyn nodded. 

Suddenly, and unusual mischievous glint appeared in her eyes, making Turner eye her warily. She ignored his hesitance and grabbed his wrist. They disappeared from the Three Broomsticks with a crack and appeared up in the mountains above Hogsmeade. 

Turner glared at her, but there was no real weight behind it, "Have you brought me here to kill me?" He teased. 

Marilyn rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Of course not. You want to ride a dragon?" She asked.

Turner's eyes went wide. "You mean you'll actually show me your animagus form?" He asked excitedly.

Regulus appeared beside her, also looking curious.

"Are you?"

Marilyn nodded. "Watch and learn, Turner." She said. "And also step back."

Turner hurried backwards several meters, keeping his eyes trained on Marilyn, who smirked.

Turner watched in awe as Marilyn Gaunt promptly turned into a huge black dragon with bright purple eyes. 

Marilyn looked at him expectantly, flapping her wings slightly. Slowly, Turner shook out of his shock and grinned gleefully. 

"That, Mary, is brilliant." He exclaimed.

Marilyn nudged him with her huge head toward her back and Turner hastily climbed on, gripping the scales near her neck tightly. Marilyn let out a roar and took off, soaring high into the sky while Turner looked at the view in awe. It was beautiful from up there. 

Marilyn snapped her huge jaws together as a warning and then they were diving. Turner let out a squeak and clutched her tighter as she flew down to circle Hogsmeade. 

Down below, people gaped at the Hebridean Black circling the village. Most of them hadn't seen a dragon before, let along one in Hogsmeade. 

Letting out a last roar, Marilyn soared back into the clouds and out of sight of the people of Hogsmeade. She landed back on the mountain and Turner slid off her back immediately. She turned back to her human form a moment later and looked inquisitively at Turner. 

For a moment, he just stared at her and then the widest grin she had ever seen took over his face.

"Ha! That was brilliant, can we do it again?" He asked excitedly.
