Hearing Neela complaining about being dragged around I let go dusting my hands off "would you stop doing that I'm not a dog" she growls.

Scoffing I grab her again leading her out to the village ignoring her warning about being a first year, "shut up" I order pushing her to the shrieking shake having to drag her in.

Reaching a room my sisters set up I step in seeing my sister lounging around before I force Neela to sit.

"She can scent Hooch" I say making them go silent.

"How? Ginny and Tisi can't even scent her even McGonagall's Animagus form can't" Lily demands.

"She's Red Riding Hood's Little sister, she's a wolf who ever put the spell didn't know about her or her mom most likely"

"What did she find?"

"Hello I'm right here" Neela says.

"She smells similar to us" I answer ignoring her comment.

"Then why didn't she say anything about it or ask for help with her fire?" Emma asks.

"Unbreakable vow" Neela says at the same time I do, narrowing my eyes at her for a moment, she huffs crossing her arms mumbling about rude dragons taking her hostage.

Looking back to my sisters I roll my eyes seeing them laughing silently at us.

"I think whoever is responsible for the unbreakable vow is responsible for her being invisible to us and without her fire"

Hearing the door open I take a breath and relax hearing Penelope muttering before coming in.

As she enters I grab her making her sit down by Neela and see her look confused at her "don't mind her, she's Hermione's stalker and new pet wolf" Lily says cackling.

Silencing everyone I sit between my sister looking at Penelope "we have a lead to find your mom, I found dragon fires hidden in Hooch floor after noticing something seems off about her talking to us and not being able to pick up her scent, Neela helped by trying to scent her she says that Hooch smells similar to us".

Penelope raises her brow pointing at her throat, rolling my eyes I drop the spell "you're getting aggressive and hostile again Hermione, now do you think she helped take my mother's fire or knows who did?"

"I don't think she helped if you watch her she always wants to fly, when she encountered us as dragons she didn't panic like others, she has also been covering for us or handling our detentions"

"She was obsessed with Hermione's history of magic project" Emma adds.

"Yeah, she seemed sad and lost looking at it and she's constantly around watching us when we break rules" Lily adds.

"Hooch always wears multiple layers of clothes, drinks hot drinks, and stays near a fire or in direct sunlight like she's always cold" Neela adds.

"That's a sign of a dragon without their fire?" Penelope asks frowning.

"Yes" my sisters and I say together.

"Dragons without their fire still hold traits almost like a descent would so stronger than humans, stronger magic, temper, always seems bored with weaker magic users, to catch their attention, friendship or respect you have to prove yourself and very few can do it" I add.

"They always feel cold but can learn to hide it from others if they get use to it then even a dragon could miss the signs unless they are looking, a dragon who grows with their fire then loses it will struggle to adjust, but a child who loses it very young won't notice other then feeling cold all the time" Lily says.

"A dragons flame never dies so killing a true dragon is impossible if they have their flame they will regenerate and come for revenge, the only way a true dragon can meet their true death is by giving up their flames willingly to a descent born without a flame that's normally done to protect their children" Emma adds.

"If a dragon has a child with someone that is a different creature or magical being, the one who gives birth to them is who the child will take after for their shifts but will have a small spark of dragon's fire, if they are betrayed by someone they trust it could fuel it and kick start their dragon causing it and the main form to merge" Neela says.

Looking at her we frown "how the fuck do you know that?" Lily demands.

"Mom, she told me my sister's parent was royalty and a shifter she believes they are a woman, and insists that their eyes she recognized in a queen wearing a mask, it covered her whole face that was held on a stick she says it looked like a heart"

"What about your dad?" I ask.

"He was a wizard related to the Lupin family, mom refused to put his family name and placed hers"

"Okay" Penelope says slowly before looking at me "is it possible that I was supposed to have a dragon's fire?" She asks.

"Maybe, if you have symptoms of a dragon without their flame" Lily answers.

"There are four flames two have been out a long time and need a lot repair, the third was oldish but stronger then the two oldest, and the fourth one was stronger with very little damage like it was taken from someone carefully to not cause more pain and distress" I add.

McGonagall pov

"I don't need you to hold me up" I say to Ingrid feeling her arm around my waist while the other holds my hand helping me walk "I'm not that old".

"My niece is protective of you that means it's best for me to make sure you don't strain yourself"

"I'm not" I say before grimacing and rubbing my chest.

"Yet your voice is strained and your chest keeps giving you problems"

Sitting on the couch I sigh letting my body relax "I'll get you some tea" Ingrid says before leaving.

Hearing three women arguing and a laugh I remember very well before thumping on the stairs, I look up seeing Bellatrix pointing her wand at a woman with black and white hair who laughs at her.

"I'll Crucio you" she screeches, Ingrid passes by taking the wand as she goes "Bella no unforgivables in my home".

My eyes widen seeing her glare at Ingrid before screaming while being tackled by Hermione's pet ghoul Story.

"Who is this?" The final woman asks coming over tracing a finger over my arm smirking before a tentacle follows it.

"Ursula do not, this is Professor McGonagall the woman Hermione formed a parent child bond with" Ingrid says while pouring me tea.

"Oh how are the children?" Ursula asks sitting by me with a happy smile.

"Fine I think, the girls are mostly like getting involved with something I won't like and the two boys are selling stuff to other students" I answer before frowning "I just hope Hermione can put her jealousy aside to protect my other favorite student".

Ingrid chuckles catching my attention "she's not going to let the kid be hurt, even if she doesn't like them because she would see it as shaming you"
