"so what is it you needed to show me?", Ryker asks his little sister, it was now full moon and neither, Ryker, Azar or Maven were attending the Yule ball, Ryker for wolfish reasons, Azar simply because he doesn't like people and Maven because she wanted to show Ryker something more important, not that she wanted to go anyway she was more than happy just to stay with her brothers instead, all three reach the black lake and Azar sits down on the grass playing with magic while Maven begins to strip down to her underwear, Ryker looking around for anyone, he didn't need her getting slut-shamed which was a possibility because of a few gossipy Slytherin females, Maven dives into the water before Ryker can say anything and he watches as she surfaces, just her eyes and nose above the water, "do you want me to follow you or?", 'no, just please don't freak out, I mean you showed Azar and me your ability I wanted to show you mine', Ryker nods and she moves so her back is against some rocks, Ryker's eyes stray downwards instead of legs a orange scaled tail sits in its place, "so Mermaid or Siren?", Ryker asks, 'Siren', "that's actually pretty cool", Maven smiles, "wait is that why you don't speak", 'no I can't actually speak', nodding Ryker sits next to Azar both watching as Maven swims around, "I'm gonna go see Hermione", Maven and Azar nods and Ryker jogs off, his nails were now claws, his eyes yellow and his canines were lengthened into fangs, he grunts as he climbs the stone walls and sits on a window sill.

Ryker's eyes scan the hall and they fall onto the girl in a pink (I kind of wish they kept it blue in the movie) flowing dress, he smiles seeing her have fun dancing with Krum, Ryker had found out concidering Krum asked her right in front of him and later on Ryker had practically threatened the male, warning him to keep his perveted self to himself and if he so much as hurt Hermione, pysically or emotionally, he'd die painfully, a smile is kept on her face, he sits there for a few more minutes just watching till Hermione walks over to Ron and Harry, Ron of which seems to piss her off, she walks over to Krum, looking distressed, they seem to talk about the incident, he watches as Hermione and Krum drink before Krum leaves, Hermione leaving, probably to confront Ron about whatever had made her upset, they talk and walk out the hall, Ron seeming to only piss her off more, Ryker drops down from his perch and climbs in through an open window, moving through with his hands in his pockets and hood over his head, his heart clenches seeing Hermione crying on the steps outside the great hall, walking over he sits beside her, "who do I have to kill?" He asks causing Hermione to giggle wiping her eyes, she looks at him and hugs him, "you shouldn't be inside", Hermione says, "I know but I saw you tonight having fun and all then this, I felt like I needed to at least try being here for you", Hermione smiles into his shoulder, grateful for the male, she knew he was risking a lot just to make her happy, Hermione picks up her heels and gently takes his hand both of them walking away from the hall and to the library where they sit in the back corner, Ryker pulls his hood back and looks down as he sits on the couch he had slept on so many times, "it's getting harder for you isn't it?", Hermione asks, Ryker nods slowly, "it's like I'm turning into a werewolf I can't seem to help it", he states, Hermione pulls him into another hug, the male hugging her back, his arms wrapped around her waist while hers are around his back, her face buried into his hair while he rests his ear over her chest hearing the heartbeat that calmed him so much, pulling back he looks up at the girl with a smile, his fangs seem to go back into place his claws turn back to normal all that's left is his eyes, Hermione places her hand on his cheek and he gently leans in capturing her lips with his, Hermione blushes and kisses back sparks instantly shooting through their bodies, Hermione moves, Ryker pulling her onto his lap while he wraps his arms around her body holding her close as they continue kissing, Ryker is the first to pull away feeling his control waver, "wow", Hermione whispers causing Ryker to smile, realizing what he had just done, what he had felt, Ryker looks into Hermione's beautiful brown eyes, his hand gently placing itself on her cheek, he presses his lips against hers again, Hermione easily accepting it till a flash goes off causing Ryker to sheild himself away from the camera his eyes turn amber and he turns his head looking to Rita Skeeter, "lord what do you want now?", he asks malice in his voice causing Rita to look at him scared, "it seems miss Granger really does have a flair for famous Wizards", Ryker moves swiftly, gently sitting Hermione next to him and stands, presses Rita to the wall his hand around her throat, "Ryker stop" Hermione asks gently, "never slut-shame Hermione, she is the most honest, brightest person you'll ever meet, and if I see any of this in the paper, just know I will have you kicked out from the daily prophet for your lies and very much altered writing, we clear?" Rita nods and he lets her go looking to the Cameraman who runs off scared, the reporter following after, Hermione hugs Ryker from behind, "that was stupid", Hermione says, "she gets on my nerves and it's a full moon, not the best idea", he mutters and turns wrapping his arms around the female, he kisses her forehead before he pulls her close in a slow dance, "there isn't any music", she states, "true but it doesn't hurt to imagine", Hermione smiles and nods dancing with the male till she actually does hear music moving through her mind, along with a slight humming of thoughts, "are you projecting your mind out to me?", she asks in a whisper, "yeah", Ryker confirms, finally in control, "unlike you, I can hear the music", "must get annoying being able to hear across the school", "it can be", Ryker smiles, "what are we?", Hermione asks, "what do you want to be?", "I don't know, this is all very new", "understandable, why don't we take it slow", Hermione nods with a smile and Hermione kisses his cheek heading off to her room while Ryker goes back outside and sits by Azar on the grass soon enough joining his sister in the water, "have you figured out the egg yet?", Azar asks, Ryker shakes his head, "why not try opening it underwater?", Azar asks, "why?", "well when you opened it near me there were bubbles inside, the screetch is like that of a Siren out of water", "well aren't you a smart lad", Ryker laughs and pulls the egg out of his hoodie pocket, he enlarges it and dives back into the water, Maven swims under with him looking at the egg, Ryker opens it and his ears tune into the singing, "come seek us where our voices sound, we can not sing above the ground, While your searching, ponder this, we've taken what you'll surely miss, an hour long you'll have to look, to recover what we've took, Past an hour the prospect's black, too late, it's gone, it won't come back", Maven and Ryker rise, Ryker closing the egg, "there are Mermaids in the Black Lake isn't there?", Maven nods, 'they don't like me very much', "right", Ryker sighs and sits on the shore next to Azar, "I have to hold my breath underwater for an hour, how the hell am I going to do that?", Ryker asks, "we should start researching tomorrow", Azar suggests, Ryker nods and the moon begins to set, Maven pulls herself out of the water and Ryker gives her his hoodie as she changes back, it was baggy on her reached mid-thigh, she tries to stand only to fall over, 'I was in for too long', "come on I'll carry you back to my common room", Azar smiles and Ryker picks Maven up, the three rushing back to his personal room.
