Pain. Utter Pain. Every bone, every muscle in his body was on fire; his magic wreathed around him like an angry black demon; he couldn't scream, couldn't cry, his body was frozen.

Hunter blacked out.

--------

Draco Malfoy was reading over his summer Potions homework when he froze and let out a scream. His parents barged into the room to find their son spasming on the floor, glowing.

"He's going through an early inheritance!" Narcissa yelped, spelling the trunk and books away from her son.

"So his mate is either going through an early inheritance-" Lucius said worriedly.

"-or he's dying."

--------

"What do you mean, Dumbledore's been stealing from Hunter?" Remus growled, feeling his wolf snarl in anger.

Griphook smiled slightly. It was not a pleasant smile "Would you like to view the withdrawals?"

"Yesssss." Remus took a breath to calm his wolf down and said, "Is it possible to get it all back, with interest?"

"Yes, but I assume you want proof so he and a Molly Weasley can get arrested for theft and line theft," Griphook said lazily.

"Send the proof to Madam Bones and then get it all back with interest," Remus replied, feeling another flash of fury. He'd known Molly in school; he'd trusted her....

Griphook snapped his fingers, and a scroll of parchment appeared on the table. "After your son has all of that removed, I suggest performing a Medical History Charm on the child; with that, you can also take the Dursleys to court."

Remus' eyes flashed gold, and he quickly got ahold of his wolf again. His cub had suffered so much because of that old fool... "I'll do that." He picked up the scroll and began to read.

Remus blinked. His mind had momentarily stalled at the amount of information.

"Mr. Lupin-Black?" Griphook asked dryly. "Are you quite all right?"

"What?" Remus shook himself. "Yes, it's just... rather a lot."

"Any questions?" Griphook smirked. Remus rolled his eyes in both irritation and amusement. Goblins!

"First of all, what is a Feline-Draco, and what is a Daemon-Draco?" Remus began.

"Well, a Feline-Draco is a cat with dragon wings; the sizes vary," Griphook replied. "A Daemon-Draco is a demon dragon. Both species are said to be extinct, but the truth is, there are clutches of eggs all around; they can't hatch until their familiar comes. Perhaps you could bring the child and his friends here." Griphook's eyes glittered.

"Are they... dangerous?" Remus asked cautiously.

Griphook snorted. "If Hunter is the one raising them, they will not be dangerous at all."

Remus chuckled. That was certainly true.

"Why does it say Slytherin-Gryffindor?" he asked.

"They got married," Griphook grinned.

"What?!"
