A different kind

SilverFang sat in the stands of the quidditch field. The final quidditch match was about to take place. Hermione and Ron were sitting next to him. He had been wanting to talk with the two of them since he had arrived at Hogwarts, but he had wanted to talk with the both of them privately. That had been really hard and almost impossible with his hectic schedule, their hectic schedule, and they were normally apart when Ron had to go do things for work and the order. This was the first that he had seen them alone in a long time.


\"You\'re Hermione Granger right?\" SilverFang asked. Hermione looked at him in surprise.


\"I was. My name\'s Hermione Weasley now.\" She said with a smile.


\"Harry told me about you. He said that you were the smartest person he had ever met. Said that you saved him from flunking Hogwarts every year. He felt bad about dropping out, but he was right, it was necessary.\" SilverFang said.


\"You know Harry?\" Hermione asked.


\"Yeah, Harry was under my master\'s tutilege until he was killed.\" SilverFang lied.


\"And look where dropping out got him! He should have stayed.\" Ron huffed. SilverFang turned his gaze on Ron.


\"Harry did what he thought was right. I thought he did what was right. He didn\'t die on purpose, Ron.\" He said softly, frowning.


\"Don\'t mind him,\" Hermione said with a frown at her husband \"He hides his emotions with anger.\" Hermione told him with a smile. \"You become accustomed to it after a while.\"


\"Harry did say he was far too tempermental. Said that the red hair must have had something to do with it.\" SilverFang said with a smile. Hermione giggled and Ron fought to hide his smile, but lost.


\"How long did you know Harry?\" Ron asked softly.


\"I knew him for a little over half a year. I was with him when the death eaters came. He sent me away to save me. He ended up dying.\" SilverFang said sadly. \"Pissed me off. Never really forgave him for it. Though, he was right about one thing.\" SilverFang said with a grin at Ron and Hermione.


\"What?\" They both asked.


\"Severus Snape is hot.\" He said with a wink before the game began.

Ron, Hermione, and SilverFang were walking back towards the gread hall, talking about how great the quidditch match was when SilverFang looked ahead and stopped dead in his tracks.

\"Uh oh.\" He said softly. \"I am in so much trouble.\" He said softly.

\"What\'s wrong?\" Hermione asked.

\"SILVERFANG! HOW DARE YOU MISS TRAINING! AND FOR WHAT? A SILLY QUIDDITCH MATCH! OH! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE BUSTER! REMEMBER YOUR LAST PUNISHMENT? IT\'LL BE NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS ONE!\" SilverFang winced as Whitestone\'s voice reached their ears.

\"That.\" SilverFang replied. He quickly looked around for an escape route from the rapidly approaching Whitestone. \"Where\'s Voldemort when you need him?\" He asked softly. He then spotted Hagrid\'s hut. \"I\'ll see you two later!\" He cried and ran as fast as he could to Hagrid\'s hut. Once their, he doubled around, making sure Whitestone didn\'t see him and quickly made his way to the Whomping Willow. He pressed the knot and ran as fast as he could to the shrieking shack. There he holed up in the bedroom where he had learned his godfather\'s true story.

\"I\'m telling you Whitestone, he\'s not here!\" GoldFeather\'s voice drifted up. SilverFang went rigid with fear.

\"He better be or else his punishment is going to triple!\" Whitestone snarled. \"We were supposed to start on illusion tactics today!\" SilverFang\'s eyes darted around and he spotted the bed. He dove under it and prayed to whatever diety to please keep him safe from Whitestone\'s wrath.

\"Like he would hide here, Whitestone! Harry\'s not that stupid!\" GoldFeather whined as they walked into the room. SilverFang\'s breath hitched, and he held it, afraid that they might hear him.

\"Yeah, that\'s what you said that time when you said he wouldn\'t be stupid enough to hide in my closet.\" Whitestone snorted in disgust. \"You check under the bed and I\'ll look in the closet.\" Whitestone said.

\"Yes dear.\" GoldFeather said. WhiteFeather walked across the room and GoldFeather looked under the bed. His eyes widened when he saw SilverFang, who pressed his finger\'s to his lips and pleaded with his silently with his eyes not to tell Whitestone.

\"He\'s not in the closet. Is he under the bed?\" Whitestone asked. GoldFeather calmly got to his feet.

\"No, he\'s not under the bed. I told you he wouldn\'t be stupid enough to hide here. He\'s probably somewhere in the forbidden forest.\" GoldFeather said.

\"Alright, we\'ll go look there.\" Whitestone sighed and they walked out of the room. SilverFang didn\'t dare to move, but he began to breath very silently. He was just positive that Whitestone was going to walk back in and drag him out from beneath the bed. He didn\'t know how long he stayed there, but it felt like an eternity when he heard it. Two pairs of footsteps coming up the stairs. He tensed.

The door to the room squeaked open and a very hesitant voice spoke. \"SilverFang, GoldFeather asked us to come and get you from underneath the bed.\" It was Hermione.

\"Please tell us you\'re not really underneath the bed.\" Ron\'s voice.

\"Is Whitestone dead?\" SilverFang asked.

\"No.\" They both replied.

\"Then I ain\'t comin\' out.\" He declared. There was a pause of silence before they both walked over to the bed, and getting on their stomachs, the looked underneath of the bed.

\"You\'ve got to be kidding me. You\'re really underneath of the bed. Now I\'ve seen everything.\" Ron declared, shaking his head.

\"Come on SilverFang, Whitestone seems like a perfectly nice person. I\'m sure she wouldn\'t really hurt you.\" Hermione said soothingly.

\"No way. You ain\'t seen her mad. I\'ve got a scar from the top of my right ear that goes all the way down past my left butt cheek that she gave me when I slept in and was late from sparring practice. I ain\'t comin\' out.\" SilverFang told them. Hermione and Ron looked at each other and then back at SilverFang.

\"I don\'t know, SilverFang. I mean, it seems kind of small.\" Ron tried.

\"And dusty. And you\'ll need food and water sooner or later.\" Hermione tried.

\"And what\'ll you do when you gotta go to the bathroom?\" Ron asked.

\"Fine, I\'ll come out tomorrow morning. She only smacked me upside the head last time I dodged her for twenty four hours, maybe she\'ll just yell at me because of my heart.\" SilverFang said. He heard footsteps on the stairs and tensed up. Hermione and Ron stood up and quickly sat on the bed, dusting off their robes as the did so.

\"Oh! I didn\'t know if anyone else was in here.\" Whitestone\'s voice filled the room. SilverFang held his breath.

\"GoldFeather asked us to come here and see if SilverFang was here a while ago. I guess we got caught up in reminiscing about the good old days when Harry was still here.\" Hermione said sadly.

\"Yeah, this is where we all met Sirius for the first time. He broke my leg and I was lying right there and he was hiding behind that door there.\" Ron said, sounding as if he was remembering a fond memory.

\"I\'m sorry to interrupt your remembering, but is SilverFang here? I\'m starting to get worried about him. The last time it took me this long to find him, he was lying unconscious by his shower where he had slipped and knocked himself out for who knows how long.\" Whitestone said. Ron and Hermione assured her that SilverFang was alright and that he wasn\'t there before they convinced her to leave and go relax in her rooms because they were sure that SilverFang was just fine. Once they were positive that she was fine, they were back on their stomachs and gazing at SilverFang who was still hiding underneath of the bed.

\"Mate, she looks worried to me.\" Ron said. SilverFang snorted.

\"It\'s all an act. Trust me. That time in the shower, she conveniently forgets to tell people that she\'s the one who knocked me out and she left me there for six hours, which was when our hand on hand combat practice was supposed to take place, when she finally came back to \'find\' me. She claimed that she didn\'t mean to hit me on the head so hard.\" SilverFang told them, his voice filled with disgust. \"I ain\'t coming out till morning. If I come out before GoldFeather has a chance to screw her, then I\'m screwed.\" SilverFang said.

\"Are you sure?\" Hermione asked him.

\"About her being in a better mood after she\'s been laid? Positive.\" SilverFang snorted.

\"I guess we\'re just going to have to stay around and keep him company.\" Ron sighed. Hermione nodded.

\"So, do you have any brothers or sisters?\" Hermione asked.

\"No. My entire family\'s dead.\" He replied.

\"Oh! I\'m sorry.\" She cried, embarrassed.

\"Whitestone has one brother who\'s alive, and GoldFeather has five brothers and one sister.\" SilverFang told them. Ron smiled.

\"Sounds like my family, except that one of my brothers was disowned and another one was killed by dragons in Romania.\" Ron said sadly. SilverFang knew about the fabricated lie for Charlie. Marlene\'s family believed that she had committed suicide not long after she joined Voldemort\'s ranks.

\"Do you like to read?\" Hermione asked. SilverFang smiled.

\"I don\'t really have the time to. I never really have. So, I don\'t know.\" SilverFang told her with a shrug.

\"Does Whitestone and GoldFeather like to read?\" Ron asked.

\"GoldFeather likes to read books on dragons and Whitestone enjoys reading these teen books. So yeah, I guess they enjoy reading.\" SilverFang replied.

\"If you don\'t have the time to read, then how come they do?\" Hermione asked.

\"I spend more time taking care of my weapons and grading papers. Whitestone doesn\'t grade papers and GoldFeather believes that it\'s a crime against all that is pure and good to assign homework.\" SilverFang explained.

\"Here! Here!\" Ron cried with enthusiasm. Hermione elbowed him.

\"So what do you do for fun?\" She asked. SilverFang grinned.

\"Meditate, have sex, sleep.\" He replied. She blushed.

\"Oh, you get all the ladies back home?\" Ron asked with a wink.

\"No, I get all the guys.\" SilverFang replied with an amused look. Ron blushed.

\"Oh.\" Was all he said.

\"Do you have a special someone?\" Hermione asked. It was SilverFang\'s turn to blush.

\"No. Yes. I mean-\" SilverFang was flustered. Hermione caught on though.

\"Oh!\" She gasped. \"You\'ve got a crush on someone.\" She said with a smile. \"Do tell.\" She said, making herself comfortable.

\"When did you have the baby?\" SilverFang asked, just now noticing that she was no longer pregnant.

\"A few months ago. I only had one and his name is Harry. Don\'t change the subject.\" She admonished him. SilverFang winced. How come changing the subject never worked?

\"I\'ve got a crush on him, he\'s in love with someone else. There, happy?\" SilverFang moped. Hermione studied him and then smiled.

\"Severus Snape is the one you\'re crushing on.\" She said triumphantly. SilverFang gaped at her and so did Ron.

\"How the hell did you come up with that conclusion? For all you know he could be crushing on Dumbledore for crying out loud!\" Ron cried. SilverFang shivered in disgust.

\"Remember earlier when he told us that Harry was right about Severus being hot? And remember how nervous he was around him for the longest time? And we all know that Severus has a crush on Harry, but Harry\'s dead, so Severus normally spends his time in his dungeons at night, drowning himself in liquor?\" Hermione asked. Ron stared at her.

\"Your brain in incredibly scary. Was she right mate?\" Ron asked, turning to look at SilverFang.

\"She should be locked up somewhere for being too fucking smart.\" He growled. Hermione laughed abd Ron smiled.

\"That\'s my girl.\" Ron said, leaning over to give Hermione a kiss on the cheek. SilverFang stuck his tongue out in disgust.

\"Icky! Straight people kissing!\" He gagged, causing them both to laugh.

\"Shut up you flipping fairy!\" Ron growled. SilverFang stuck his tongue out at him.

\"Make me, you straight weener.\" He growled. Ron paled.

\"That didn\'t sound right, mate.\"

\"I know.\" SilverFang replied. \"I\'ve been stuck under a bed for merlin knows how long.\" SilverFang told him. Hermione looked at a watch on her wrist.

\"Well, from the time that the quidditch match was over to now, I\'d have to say fifteen hours.\" She said. \"Wow, we\'ve been talking for a while. Sunrise is in three hours and breakfast begins in five.\" Hermione said with raised eyebrows.

\"So tell me about your kids.\" SilverFang asked with a grin. \"Harry told me that you two would end up a couple or else he wasn\'t a Potter.\"


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



SilverFang, Hermione, and Ron snuck to breakfast almost half an hour after breakfast had begun. When Dumbledore saw them, his eyes began to twinkle full force as they sat down. About half an hour later, GoldFeather and Whitestone walked in and stopped in their tracks when they saw SilverFang, who was quietly eating his breakfast.

\"You are in so much trouble mister!\" Whitestone began. SilverFang went into Back Up Plan #1.

\"Whitestone, I was hiding because if you give me the usual thrashing, I doubt that my poor old heart will be able to take it.\" SilverFang explained, his tone filled with pleading. Whitestone stopped in her tracks and her eyes softened.

\"I\'m sorry, SilverFang. I forgot about your heart. Alright, I\'ll let you slide this time, but next time, I\'ll come up with a punishment that won\'t hurt that heart of yours.\" Whitestone promised him. When Whitestone wasn\'t looking, GoldFeather gave him the thumbs up and mouthed the words THAT-WAS-FUCKING-BRILLIANT!

Down the table, Hermione and Ron were snickering with laughter.
