--------

Georg guided us to his house. When we were inside, and the door was closed, Larcade moved.

- Oh, sorry - I said -. You must be scared, right? It's okay now. We're safe.

- You had a baby tied in your chest all time? - asked Miriam.

- I know, it was dangerous. But I couldn't leave him anywhere. Someone could take him thinking he's an orphan.

- What about his mother?

- She... Is trapped in a lacrima and can't move.

- Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't want to...

- Don't worry. I have worst memories.

Miriam looked at me, surprised. I'm pretty sure she couldn't believe I had worse memories than Mavis trapped in a lacrima. Of course I have, and not only the fire in my house. After all, my whole life has been a nightmare.

Larcade cried in that moment, and a very bad smell came to my nose.

- Where can I change Larcade? - I asked.

- Upstairs - answered Georg -. Choose any room.

I went upstairs and I entered in the first room I found. For it's smell, that room was Georg's one. I changed Larcade's diaper in it, and I returned to the living room. Draco was talking with Miriam while Georg was cooking.

- Do you need help, Georg? - I asked while entering in the kitchen.

- Not right now - answered Georg -. Besides, you are my guest. You shouldn't be helping me.

- I wanted to leave the lovebirds alone.

- You will be a really good father.

- But I'm listening, just in case.

- What case?

- That we have to leave the house.

- That won't-

- They're kissing.

- We're not! - yelled Draco.

I laughed. I knew he would listen that. Of course, I was joking. They weren't kissing. They were talking about their lives.

- Don't lie like that - said Georg, hitting my arm and laughing.

- It was a joke - I answered.

Larcade pulled my hair in that moment. He wanted my attention before start crying.

- What's happening, Larcade? - I asked -. Are you hungry?

- Do you really know how to raise your child, black wizard? - asked Georg.

Terrified, I froze the time. Only me, Larcade and Georg could move. Larcade muttered. I looked at Georg, and he looked at me. I could see in his eyes that he knew what he was talking about.

- Is Larcade really your son? Or is he one of your experiments? What is true of all you said? I know who you are. Stop lying to me.

- All is true. Larcade is my son, but I don't know how he was conceived.

- You don't know?

- I think Ankhseram knows what happened, but I can't ask him. He doesn't talk to anyone. He loves to torture people.

- And the mother?

- Ankhseram killed her, but seems like his heart is still beating. I listened it. A very weak beat. The lacrima is a method I created a long ago to resurrect people, but I do my know how her friend find it. I buried that investigation a long ago. It doesn't have my name, so he doesn't know I created that.

- How did she die?

- Both of us are cursed. Ankhseram used my feelings and her indecision in our first kiss, and killed her.

- And how was Larcade born?

- I think the lacrima helped her to grow him. Her body, and also mine, are not adult. But our souls are. I think that's how Larcade had possibilities to be born. But I'm not sure.

- I have to trust you? After all, you didn't tell me your name, black wizard Zeref.

- I didn't tell you my name because of that. Anastascia, the dark fairy, gained me that fame. She used my name and appearance to do a lot of bad things. That's why everyone thinks I'm evil.

- So... Anastascia did all? Even the investigations to resurrect people?

- No, that was me. She made me think my family was dead and that I had to search a way to bring them back. I did those investigations by myself. I noticed later that she used them to create the Etherias demons.

- You didn't know they were created?

- No, until I saw my brother inside one of those eggs. Then I realized what she was doing.

Georg was looking carefully at my eyes only to see if I was telling a lie. I wasn't, he could see that. Even if I can mantain my face straight and my movements under control, my eyes are a direct window to how I feel. And Georg noticed that.

- Seems like you are telling the truth - said Georg, after observing me for a while.

I smiled, and I returned the time to it's normal flowing. Georg knew that he couldn't talk freely about his discover. None of us wanted to scare Draco or Miriam.

- Not a word to the lovebirds - I requested.

- I won't say a thing - answered Georg.

- About what? - asked Draco.

- Nothing! - answered Georg and I at the same time.

We looked at each other and laughed. Draco didn't know what was happening. It was better like that.

- Father, do we have some clothes for Miriam? - asked Draco suddenly, entering in the kitchen -. She wants to take off the wedding dress.

- Your mother's won't fit her. Give her some of yours - answered Georg.

- But a girl in man's clothes...

- Looks really good. Your mother did it sometimes.

- My mother did it too - I added -. And my aunt.

- But... I have no shirts... - said Draco.

- Take one of my shirts - answered Georg -. I don't care.

- Uh... Okay...

Draco left the kitchen and took Miriam to the first floor. I could listen their footsteps and conversation.

- Why are you laughing, demonic black wizard? - asked Georg.

- Draco. He's confused.

- For what? Miriam?

- He can't believe that she will wear his clothes.

- I have nothing for her. She's taller than my wife.

- Does Draco know her name?

- No, he doesn't. He didn't want to know. He doesn't even know what kind of dragon she is. I don't know that either.

- Do you have any of her magic books here?

- No... Wait, there's one or two. They are in my room.

- Can I check them later?

- Sure. But I can't understand a word in them.

- I can. I can read the dragons' language.

- Really?

- I can translate them for Draco, if he wants.

- That would be great.

- I can explain some things about your wife that can be interesting to know.

- Please, tell me everything you know.

- With Draco listening.

- Of course. Can you put the dishes at the table? I'm nearly done with lunch.

- Sure.

While I was taking the dishes to the table I noticed some scales around the house. Scales that fell recently from Draco's wings. I knew they were his scales. Same color as his mother's ones, and same kind of falling.

- Scales again? - said Georg while he was taking the food -. I haven't seen them for years. I will have to clean the whole house.

- Save them - I requested.

- Why?

- I will show you a thing they can do.

- Okay. I have the milk for Larcade.

- Oh, thank you.

Miriam came downstairs while I was feeding Larcade. Draco was lucky. She was a beautiful girl. Her hair was black, and his eyes were the same color as the ocean.

- Can I feed him? - asked Miriam.

- Sure - I answered -. He drinks two bottles each time.

- That's not too much?

- Not for us.

- Non-humans are really curious.

- Yes, we are. Humans don't understand that - I looked around and I saw that Draco wasn't there -. Where's Draco?

- Still upstairs, I think.

As Miriam said, Draco was still upstairs. He was completely frozen at the side of an open door.

- Draco? - I asked -. It's all okay?

- I saw heaven... - answered Draco.

- What!?

I was not expecting that answer. What did he saw exactly?

- What do you mean with heaven? - I asked, a little scared.

- Miriam... Looks so good in man's clothes.

- Oh. That's what you meant by heaven.

- What else could be?

- Nothing.

Draco looked at me, without understanding what I was saying. It was better that way. After all, he was only a little and innocent dragon.

- Lunch is ready - I said before leaving.

- I'm coming.

Draco followed me downstairs. Larcade was completely asleep in Miriam's arms. We left him sleeping on the couch while we were eating.

- Why you don't explain us all you know about my wife? - asked Georg to me.

- You want to know? - I answered -. Draco, do you want to know about your mother?

- I'm... Not sure... - answered Draco.

- I want to know - said Miriam -. I always been curious about her.

- Well - I started -. First of all, her name. Georg?

- Elementia - said Georg -. Blue hair, green eyes, cheerful and tiny. She's always wearing the most colorful dresses.

- Right - I continued -. She's the tiniest dragon of all, but also the most powerful. She can control all the existent elements, and all their variations. Also, her scales fell a lot. Elementia, with Mothergrea, the mother nature dragon, were the first dragons to appear in Earth. With their powers, they created all the other dragons. Well, not all. Most of them. That's how they gained the titles of "Mothers of dragons" and "Dragon queens".

- Wait! Stop! - interrupted me Draco -. My mother is a queen!?

- She was named queen by the other dragons, with Mothergrea. But Mothergrea doesn't like to be referred as queen, so she left the title for Elementia.

- She could refuse that if she wanted, right?

- Elementia is not only cheerful. She's also kind and has a pure heart. She doesn't like to disappoint the others, so she accepted the title. After that, the dragons reproduced and, before she could notice it, a war between dragons started.

- The dragon war - said Georg -. I remember she saying something about that. A mistake, I think.

- It was a mistake, from the other dragons. No one wanted to listen to her, and they started training humans as Dragon Slayers, making them participate in the war.

- That's horrible... - said Miriam.

- It was. In that moment, she had to make a decision. Train or not train a Dragon Slayer. For her Dragon Slayer, she choose a non-human. A half demon, son of the powerful demon Lucifer. His name was Raziel, the king of the Slayers.

- So, that's the person which name she murmured in her nightmares - said Georg -. Her Slayer.

- Raziel was a good man. Even being a half demon, he was raised by his archangel step-father. Of course, Raziel's step-father had trouble with accepting him, but he did. Raziel didn't trust anyone who was pureblood, specially humans. But he accepted what Elementia was proposing to him when his older brother said that she was the dragon queen, and that she wanted to end the war.

- Raziel died in the war, right?

- No, he didn't. Was Elementia who nearly died in there. She was protected by Raziel all time.

- What about Acnologia?

- Acnologia... No one knew from where he came from, but he nearly executed all the dragons. Elementia's wounds weren't caused by him, but by another slayer who turned crazy.

- The craziest survived, right?

- Unfortunately, yes. Raziel would be the only one who can stop him, but... He died in a fire a long ago, before the Dragon King's festival. Raziel was my father - everyone froze when I said that -. Without him, Acnologia killed everyone. No dragon or slayer survived that massacre.

I started crying. I couldn't contain myself. Georg took Larcade and put him at my side before the curse was released. Larcade absorbed the curse, as always. He didn't even notice that. When the curse was gone, Draco hugged me.

- It's okay, sensei. You can cry as long as you need.

I hugged Draco as tight as I could, and I cried for hours. Then, I fell asleep.

---------

When I woke up, I didn't know where I was. The smell told me that no one used the room where I was in a long time. Larcade wasn't with me, but there were signs that he was sleeping in that room.

I got out of the room, trying to not be discovered by anyone. I was scared. I didn't know where I was. I relaxed when I went downstairs.

- Good morning, sensei! - said Draco when he saw me.

- Good morning - I answered.

- Did you sleep well?

- How long I was sleeping?

- About three or four days.

- That long!?

- Yes. Why are you asking?

- It's been a long time since I slept that much.

- How long?

- About 300 years. Where's Larcade?

- With my father, buying some things.

- Your father will steal my child if I let him.

- I can't deny that. He's taking good care of him.

- At least I know he will be in good hands.

- You will let him take your son?

- Of course not. But now I know someone else to leave him if something happens to me.

I went to the kitchen and I ate the first thing I found.

- What are you doing, sensei? - asked Draco.

- Eating? - I answered.

- But you didn't told me that you don't need to eat?

- That I don't need it doesn't mean I don't enjoy eating. After all, this makes me feel alive.

In that moment, Georg opened the door. He was carrying a lot of food. Larcade was at his head, exploring the world. I laughed when I saw that.

- Do you know he likes to be in people's heads? - asked Georg -. And that he doesn't fall?

- No, I didn't - I answered -. But I know from who he got that.

- Who?

- My brother. He was always there. Even sleeping. Dad didn't mind too much, but he was always prepared in case my brother fell.

- You really love your brother.

- We were twins. But I can't sense him since he was sent to the future.

- Maybe he didn't arrive yet.

- No, he didn't. It was a 400 years travel. But I thought that my time magic would make me sense him. Seems like I was wrong.

- Dad, isn't that a lot of food? - asked Draco -. And we already have food.

- Draco, are you aware of how much you eat? - answered Georg.

- Eh... No.

- Monsters are capable to eat twice their weight, three if they are hungry. I think I won't have enough food. At least, I'm lucky that Larcade is still a baby.

- But sensei doesn't need to eat.

Georg looked at me. I smiled.

- That doesn't mean I don't like to eat - I said.

- Then, we're in peace - said Georg -. When will you leave?

- Soon. I can't stay too much in a place because of the curse, and I had been around you for a long time.

- Can you look at the books before?

- Sure. I can stay a few more days, if needed. You already know how to deal with the curse.

Georg left the food in the kitchen and went to his room. Soon, he returned with three books.

- Those are the magic books my wife left - said Georg -. I can't understand anything on them. I don't even know in what language is it wrote.

I took one of the books and I flipped some pages.

- Ancient dragon language - I answered -. I can read it. My brother and I combined this with Fairy language and Demon language to send us secret messages. But our father discovered us, and they weren't a secret anymore. Draco, try to read it.

I handed the book to Draco. He seemed to not understand a thing at first, but I could see how he could read it.

- Can you understand it? - I asked.

- I can read it, but not understand a word - answered Draco. Georg and Miriam were surprised of that.

- Dragons can read their language. Fairies and demons can do that with theirs. But understand them is different. Knowing that you can read it, I can teach you how to understand it.

- But you can read dragon language, sensei?

- My father was the slayer king, remember? I can read an talk demon, fairy, dragon and god language. And much others, but those are the most important for me.

I taught Draco how to read and speak dragon language. Sounds easy, but it isn't. Mostly because I mixed demon and fairy in it.

- You mixed words again, sensei - said Draco a week later. He was understanding and filling holes by himself.

- I lost a big part of my fluency during the last 300 years - I explained -. My brother and I used to mix the three languages to send messages, remember? We were very fluent to do it.

- Must be fun to have a brother.

- Depends. He can be your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time. But me and my brother complemented each other. He was the strenght and I was the brain. But roles changed when I enter in sadistic mode.

- Sadistic mode? You? I don't see it.

- You don't know me enough.

- I have never seen your fairy wings.

- They... We're ripped off a long ago...

I put my right hand in my left shoulder. I missed my wings, but they don't grow up again. It's not that easy.

- I'm sorry sensei. I shouldn't...

- Don't worry, Draco. You didn't know.

- But...

- Draco, it's okay. I lost my fairy power with them, but I still have my demon and my God Slayer power.

- Fairies lose their power when their wings are ripped off?

- Yes, and it's hard to live without it. Specially when you're a pureblood. Good that I'm mixed and I know another magic.

Draco looked at the book again, without saying anything else. He could feel the sadness in my voice. And probably my face was telling the same. Larcade was laying in my head, listening everything. Without any warning, I couldn't feel him anymore. I put my hands in my head, searching him, and then I looked around me in the couch. He wasn't there.

- Oh, no... This can't be happening...

- Sensei, calm down - said Draco when he saw my nervous state -. He shouldn't be too far away.

- But... What if he...? Maybe I forced him too much with the curse...

- Sensei, it won't be that. I'm sure of it.

- You can't be sure of something you don't know!

I was scared. That scared that I yelled to Draco. Georg arrived in that moment.

- What's happening? - asked Georg.

- Larcade disappeared - answered Draco -. He was at sensei's head, and he's gone.

I was crying. I could feel some tears falling from my eyes. Immediately, the curse appeared. I couldn't control it. I was too scared and too nervous to try to stop it.

I heard Draco's voice singing the lullaby. I could follow his voice to calm the curse.

"La maldad más pura,

La maldad más oscura,

Tiene sangre de hada,

Su nombre es Anastascia.

No dejes que te atrape,

No dejes que te engañe,

Porque si lo hace,

Ya no podrás ver ni a papá ni a mamá."

For a moment, I could listen my mother singing it in my head. That helped even more. I was still scared, but less nervous.

- Better? - asked Draco.

- Yes... Thank you - I answered.

- Good that you taught me the lullaby.

- I could listen my mother singing it. Maybe was my imagination.

- Probably.

- What a dark lullaby... - said Georg.

- Eh? You could understand it, father?

- My grandmother was from another country. He taught me her native language. Oh, and she loved dragons.

- The lullaby was made with the native language of the first fairy queen - I explained -. Some fairies still know it.

- That's interesting to know.

Suddenly, we heard an scream. It came from the kitchen. It was Miriam. We ran directly where she was just to see her laughing with a flying Larcade at her side.

Flying!? Larcade was flying!? When did he show wings!? Was that a few minutes ago!? I looked at Draco and Georg. They were as surprised as me.

- Hi, boys - said Miriam when she saw us -. Since where does Larcade fly?

- Now - answered the three of us at the same time.

- He's adorable. And the color of his wings combines perfectly with his hair.

I took Larcade in my arms, making him stop flying. His wings were a perfect combination of demon and fairy. Strong like a demon, lighter like a fairy. I checked his head, seraching horns. They were there, but they were very little in that moment. His tail was moving under his clothes.

- Seems like I will need scales - I said. Everyone looked at me, surprised.

- Why scales? - asked Draco.

- Your scales, to be exact. You share the same powers as your mother. Your scales are special, like hers.

- In what?

- A lot of things. Like clothes that can hide your dragon appearance, or that let you transform without breaking them.

- People knows me like this. I prefer to not try to hide it again.

- I understand... But maybe for your children. They will be more human, but still have a lot of dragon blood inside them.

- My children... They will have wings like me?

- Not necessarily, but maybe scales in their bodies.

- Scales...

- They are easier to hide than the wings and the tail. Maybe they will never need it.

Draco looked at Miriam, worried about something.

- So... It's like that... - I started, thinking that Draco did something to Miriam.

- Eh... Really? I thought you were smarter than this, son - continued Georg, going to my side.

- What are you talking about? - asked Draco.

- You know what we are talking about... Right, devil child?

- Yeah... - I answered.

Draco's face told us that he didn't know about what we were talking about. Georg and me looked at each other. We were having fun, even knowing that Draco didn't do anything.

- Nothing happened - said Miriam -. Yet...

- Eh? What are you talking about, Miriam? What didn't happen yet? - asked Draco, still not knowing about what the three of us were talking about.

We laughed. Draco still didn't know about what we were talking about. He turned red when we explained to him.

- I didn't do anything like that... - murmured Draco, again.

- We know - said Miriam, at his side -. It was a joke, Draco.

- It's not funny... And I didn't do it...

- Draco, I know you didn't. And I know it very well.

Draco laid his head in Miriam's chest, and she hugged him. I was in front of them, reading a book to Larcade.

- Can he understand it? - asked Miriam.

- I'm not sure, but he likes the sound of my voice - I answered.

- Can I know your name? Draco doesn't know it either.

- My name involves a lot of bad things. Knowing it will make you fear me for no reason.

- What kind of things?

- You don't want to know.

- Why?

- It's difficult to explain to a human.

- Make it easy.

- I was possessed by someone evil. Very evil. That person used my full appearance and name to commit all the existent crimes. Even more. My appearance has been forgotten in this time, but not my name. My name is a very vivid legend. I don't want you to fear me for that.

Miriam didn't ask anything else. I didn't want to tell her who I was, or Draco to know. I knew very well that they knew about my reputation. Georg was in the kitchen, but listened to all the conversation.

- Can you come here, devil child? - asked Georg.

Without answering, I took Larcade and the book and I went to the kitchen. As I entered, I stopped the time for Draco and Miriam.

- You are really a good kid, Zeref - said Georg.

- That's not what the legends tell - I answered.

- I don't need the legends anymore. I know you in person. And without that dark fairy in the middle. I know how you are.

- I don't want people to fear me for those legends. They are the worst that happened to me.

- How much you were investigating resurrection methods?

- I don't know. When I got cursed, I stopped the time to investigate. But Anastascia didn't notice it, because I was always in libraries and similar places, with no one inside.

- You mean... That you could be decades studying and investigating without anyone noticing it?

- I didn't age, so I didn't notice either. Anastascia created a lot of experiments during that time, including my brother. The only experiment I let the time work.

- What about the others?

- I tried to destroy them, but some of them were successful. I don't know where they are now. But I could save two of them.

- Save?

- Anastascia killed them at the same time she killed my family. They were good friends of mine. I made clones for them, and put the clones on their place. They are half demon too. I didn't saw them since they left. But I'm sure they're fine. They were surviving together since they were abandoned by their parents.

- Are they brothers?

- No, only friends. Good friends from the same town. Both half demon, from the last generation of pure half demons. They always took care of each other.

- Reject a child because it's half demon... What kind of parents do that?

- In that time, demons were rapists. They did it for fun. Having a demon child meant that you were with them. That's why all the half demons were abandoned.

- But your father wasn't.

- Because my grandma wanted to keep him. And my grandpa was an archangel. He could say that was an strange mutation, but both decided to say my father was half demon.

- Your family didn't have it easy.

- No, but I couldn't wish a best family. My parents, my grandfather, my brother, my uncles, my aunt, my master, and the dragons. All of them were family. Even if we weren't blood related.

- Elementia was in it?

- Yes, she was. She was my father's master, remember? She was... like some kind of grandmother to us.

- Would your father accept me if he meets me? I'm human. I'm something that rejected him his whole life.

- He would, because you made his master happy. And there's nothing more important for him than see his family happy.

Georg hugged me. I hugged him when I felt the way he was breathing. He was holding his own cry.

- You can cry, if you need it - I said -. No one will listen to you.

- I'm fine. Just happy to meet someone who Elementia considered family. Even if it's the darkest mage that ever existed.

- It would be better if you could met my father. He was her disciple. He knew her in a better way than me.

- Still, you are her family. That's important for me.

- Besides of you and Draco, she has no blood related family. All the others are friends she considers family.

- I don't care at all. If she considers you family, you are family.

- That's what my father always said.

- Your father must be a great man.

- Yes, he was. I miss him every day, with the rest of my family.

For some reason that we don't know, Larcade patted our heads. He was in Georg's head this time. Both of us laughed, and I made time run again.

- So... When are you leaving? - asked Georg.

- Tomorrow - I answered -. I can't stay more time, and Draco can defend himself in Dragon language.

- Do you think he will learn all he needs by himself?

- Probably. I can't help him anymore. I lost my fluency. And I stayed here for too long.

- Be careful out there.

- I will.

Later that day, I explained to Georg how to manipulate the scales, and made some clothes for Larcade now that he knew how to show wings. Draco refused to make clothes for himself all the time.

--------

A week passed. Georg insisted in having me sleeping in the town, even if I was scared to release the curse. But soon, we saw that the curse was absorbed by Larcade for no reason, and that didn't hurt him. It was strange.

- I knew Larcade was not affected by the curse, but absorbing it? That's something I didn't know - I explained to Georg after a week, when we were taking breakfast.

- The curse doesn't cause any damage when he absorbs it. You should investigate that.

- Yes, I should. But there aren't any documents about Ankhseram and his curse. I searched for 300 years. I learned by myself the few I know.

- There has to be something.

- I even looked in ancient and abandoned libraries. There's nothing about it.

- I don't know how to help you with this.

Draco arrived at that moment. He was looking at the ground with a sad face, and his wings were down. He fell at the ground when he was trying to sit because his wings were in the middle. Something that he didn't do since I showed him how to move them.

- Is something wrong, Draco? - asked Georg.

- Nothing, father - answered Draco, looking at the ceiling from the ground with dead eyes.

- Don't lie to me. What's happening?

- Nothing.

- I know that kind of reaction - I explained -. Something is happening to someone very important for you, but you don't want to worry us, so you won't say a thing but you will act like this all day. Am I correct, Draco?

Draco looked at another side. His wings were fully open, making his back touch the ground.

- Get up and fold your wings - I said -. You are in the middle of the restaurant.

- I don't want - answered Draco -. There's no use in getting up. I'll be here, forever.

- Since when do you love that person?

Georg looked at me, surprised. Some tears fell from Draco's eyes. I was right.

- Why didn't you tell me!? - asked Georg, a little angry -. I could do something!

- Who would love me anyway? - asked Draco -. Who loves monsters anyway?

- My grandma - I answered -. She loved an archangel. My aunt loved a half archangel. Your father loves your mother. Larcade's mother... She... She loves me, I know it. Not only other monsters love monsters. You should tell that person how you feel.

- It's already late. She's getting married today.

- Why you didn't tell us early? - asked Georg -. Let's go!

- Where?

- To crash that wedding.

- We're too far away. We won't make it in time. Anyway, she won't...

- SHE SAID THAT TO YOUR FACE!? SHE DID!? NO, RIGHT!? GET UP AND LET'S GO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

- Father...

- Your happiness is more important than anything, you know that.

- I can't... It's late...

I stopped the time for a few, just to take my things, and Georg and Draco's things. I made the time ran again being just at the opposite side I was before.

- I have our things - I said -. Let's go.

- How? - asked Draco.

- Flying, of course.

I tied Larcade around my chest and left the restaurant. Georg followed me carrying Draco. He had to hold his son's wings because he refused to fold them.

- We have to go - I said while turning into a demon.

- I don't want... - answered Draco.

- It's now or never. You won't have any other opportunity.

- What do you know about this? It's not like you lost all. You have your son.

- It's now I have him.

I put my hand in Draco's shoulder and I showed him my worst memories. The ones who always bring the curse to this world. The memories of my house burning to ashes, with the inner monologue I had with myself, when Anastascia didn't answer me. I was only a kid. A kid who saw himself put fire to his own house, and wasn't able to do anything to stop it because someone was restricting his movements. A kid who listened his father scream in pain when the ceiling fell over him, and his brother trying to call him. I showed Draco all.

- What was that? - asked Draco, completely terrified.

- My worst memory - I answered -. I don't like to remember it. I lost all in that fire. My parents, my brother and my unborn sister died in it.

- But... Why you did nothing?

- I couldn't. Anastascia was blocking my movements, but I didn't know she was there until I got cursed. For some years, I thought I put my own house on fire, killing my family. I lost all that day. I don't want you to lose all.

- But... She's getting married...

- And? We can still crash her wedding before the ceremony ends. You still can do something to not lose all. Her answer will determine if you lose all or not. But, if you don't move, you will never know if she loves you back.

Draco looked at the ground, then at his father, and back at me. After that, he got up and flew away without saying a word. I followed him carrying Georg in my back.

We flew for 30 minutes, I think. Draco was leading at a very high speed. Suddenly, he turned and entered in a church breaking the roof.

- He's not good at landings - I explained to Georg. He laughed a little.

I landed at the door of the church, and made my demon form disappear. Everyone inside was looking at Draco, who just got up from the ground.

- What are you doing here, monster? - asked the groom, putting the bride behind him -. You weren't invited.

- But my father was - answered Draco -. You knew he will bring me, why you invited him?

- Your father is a good man that doesn't deserve to have a monster for son. You should never be born.

- My father loves me like no one does. This is my last opportunity to say it, so I won't let it pass.

- What are you talking about?

Draco looked directly to the bride, ignoring the groom's words.

- I've been loving you since we were little, Miriam. I always did. I know you may not love me back because of... - Draco opened a little his right wing, looking at it -. This. But this is how I feel, and I wanted you to know before you got married. My best wishes for you and your future husband.

Draco turned and walked away. But something no one expected happened. The bride left the altar, running across the church only to catch Draco's left arm. Everyone was surprised for that, specially Draco and the groom.

- Can I touch your wings? - asked the bride.

- Eh? Oh... If you want... - answered Draco.

The bride took off her gloves and put her hand in Draco's left wing. The wing reacted to the touch of another person who wasn't me or Georg. Draco didn't turn to look at her, but his face was completely red. He was nervous, you could see it. The woman he loved wasn't afraid of him, and she liked his wings.

- Are they strong? - asked the bride.

- Yes. Yes, they are.

- Can I go for a ride?

- No - Draco turned, facing her -. I-I mean... Did you saw how I landed? I broke the ceiling. I don't want you to take any damage because of me. Besides, it's your wedding. You should... You should go. Your fiance is waiting for you.

- I was waiting for you. I was expecting you to came with that cape of yours on, but you surprised me with a better entrance.

- You were... Waiting for me?

- Of course I was. I love you, that won't change. Even if my parents forced me to marry another person, my feelings won't change.

- You do?

Draco was happy. His wings fluttered. The bride laughed at his reaction. But the groom and the bride's father took some shotguns and shoot directly to them. Seeing that, Draco took the bride in his arms and folded his wings around them. But the bullets never arrived to them. I turned into a demon and stopped the bullets with my wings.

- Sensei! - yelled Draco when he opened his wings to see what happened to the bullets.

- I'm fine - I answered -. They didn't pass through my wings. They are stuck in my bones.

- That's not what fine means, sensei.

- It's not a big deal for me. My father was part demon, remember?

Draco nooded. After that, Georg entered in the church, acting like he didn't know what was happening.

- What's happening!? - asked Georg -. What were those shoots!? Draco! Where have you been!?

- I was... - Georg winked at Draco -. Training. I wanted to recover my wings. He helped me.

Draco pointed at me. Georg went were I was and put his hands on my shoulders.

- Thank you for helping my son with this - said Georg.

- It was nothing - I answered -. He had his wings in a very strange position. Now they're fine and he can use them.

- Did he tell you why he had them in that position?

- Yes, he did.

- Then, we are in peace.

- You shouldn't be talking with those monsters! - yelled the groom -. Georg, you are the most handsome man in this town! You had all the girls, and you had to marry a monster!

- And I'm so proud I did - answered Georg, walking to him -. When I did, I saw how you all truly are. I married a dragon, and I had a son with her. I love both of them. If no one can understand that, then we will leave.

- You had to leave a long ago! This wouldn't be happening if you did. Miriam will marry me, and no one else!

- And you should learn to shut your mouth! I like this town, that's why I stayed with my son. And, if Miriam loves Draco, no one can separate them. Specially when Draco loves her back.

Suddenly, someone jumped to Georg with a knife in his hand. Georg stopped him and took the knife with some fast movements.

- You tried to take my eye one time, Edgar. You won't be able to do it twice.

- I had to kill you and your demonic son a long ago! - yelled the man.

- Draco is not a demon. He's a dragon. Learn the difference between both.

- They are all the same! Monsters!

- Oh, please - I said -. They are not the same. I'm part demon and part fairy after all. I had dragon friends. I know how to differenciate all the types of monsters in this world.

All the men inside the church pointed me with different types of guns. Mostly shotguns. That didn't scare me.

- If you think that a few guns can scare a monster, you're wrong - I explained -. The monsters with human appearances are used to being bullied and tried to kill, because they live mostly between humans. The oldest a monster is, the less scared he is of weapons and magic. After all, humans are the ones with a short life. You shouldn't be wasting it in trying to kill monsters, because they will live more than you. But remember, the true monsters are humans. If you could live the same as us, you will be dangerous for everyone.

Everyone put down the guns. Everyone looked at us, scared. I looked at Draco and Miriam. She wasn't scared. She was trusting us. Draco was a little scared. Probably because he was worried on what the others would do to Miriam if he left her, now that everyone knows the truth.

- Let's go - said Georg, walking to the door.

I followed him. Draco helped Miriam to get up and kissed her hand, leaving her. But she took his arm and both left the church together.

The story you will never know: Chapter 7 - Is this real?

*sips cocoa*

Pairing: Zervis.

First chapter here.

--------------

Three days after leaving Magnolia, I heard Mavis' voice in my head. It was only a moment, but it was hers.

- Larcade? Who's Larcade? - I asked to myself. Then, I realized. I looked at my child, who sneezed in my arms at that moment -. A fairy prince name for a prince. It's the best name you could ever choose, Mavis.

Larcade, the fairy prince. That name was well known for me. He was the son of Morgana, the first fairy queen, and the first fairy king. But is his story the one who is always around. He was a hero in the first Great Fairy War, against Anastascia. As rule, he never killed a fairy. He only ripped their wings off. Fairies lose their power when their wings are ripped off, and some tell that he ripped Anastascia's wings. I can say it's true.

I thought that one night of sleep won't make me any damage. I could wake up every two hours to feed Larcade. But I was wrong. My guard was down, and Ankhseram took the opportunity. He made me have the worst nightmare I had in years. I knew it was him for his laugh in the nightmare. He wanted me to know it was him. The memories he chose were the worst I have. The fire in my house, my father's scream, and my brother yelling dad.

I woke up screaming, sweating and crying. The first thing I noticed was death around me.

- No! No, please! Not again!

Larcade was sleeping in my chest, like the other nights. I got up quickly, taking him in my hands. He wasn't moving.

- I'm sorry... Mavis, I'm sorry... I couldn't protect our child...

Tears fell from my eyes directly to Larcade's body. Suddenly, I noticed him moving. I opened my eyes, and I saw him alive.

- Thank God... You're alive...

- Oh, fuck! - I could hear Ankhseram in the distance -. I waited too much! It's late!

He waited too much? Late for what? Is he talking about Larcade? What is he late for? Don't tell me... Larcade is not affected by the curse?

- This is the happiest day of my life - I said while touching Larcade's forehead with mine.

Ankhseram's presence disappeared. Larcade cried. He was hungry.

- Yes, yes. Wait a moment, Larcade. Let me prepare your milk.

Never having the right to use my brother's Slayer magic was too useful to me. My brother is a fire Slayer. He was modified and sended to the future, but he didn't arrive yet.

I prepared Larcade's milk and I gave it to him, singing the lullaby to myself. I needed to relax a little after the nightmare and the curse.

- Tomorrow, we must go to a town - I explained to Larcade -. You eat a lot. Two bottles each time. Did me and my brother ate that much when we were little? I can't ask that to anyone...

It seemed like Larcade could understand me. I didn't care too much in that moment. After all, he always reacted to my voice. And I was happy to have him alive.

Larcade was still sleeping when we arrived at the town the next morning. I had to have one of my hands on him all time, checking his heart and respiration. Even Ankhseram's words couldn't calm me. What if there was some delayed effect and it killed him some hours later? Or some days later?

- Calm down, Zeref. You're overthinking this. Nothing will happen to Larcade.

I didn't even believe my own words. I was too scared for it. Larcade's heart and breath were the only things that could calm me in that moment.

I bought the things I needed for Larcade, and something extra. A black dragon plushie. Then, I bought something to eat and I sat under a tree. Larcade was awake all time, after giving him his milk. It looked like he liked his new toy. But he was 4 days old, anything I gave to him would be liked, right?

- Being a father is so difficult. If I only had help from my mother... I can't ask too much to a human. After all, Larcade and I aren't humans. Is this normal for monsters?

- Yes, it is - answered someone.

I looked in front of me. There was a man with red hair and an scar in his left eye. Behind him, a boy with purple hair wearing a cape, with the hood on.

- Who are you? - I asked.

- Georg McGarden - answered the man -. Human father of a half dragon.

I looked at the boy. I could see his claws when he took off his hood. Parts of his skin were covered with scales.

- Hi... - said the boy. He was shy. Really shy.

- Everyone hates him in our town - explained Georg while sitting in front of me -. That's why we are travelling around for a while. His mother was a powerful dragon. His name is Draco. What's yours?

- I prefer to not reveal that information - I informed. Georg was human. He had to listen about Zeref, the black wizard.

- Okay, you don't need to say it. What kind of monster is your child?

- Half demon, half fairy. I'm part human, part demon and part fairy.

- Interesting mixture. Why isn't your child human too?

- I don't know. His mother is human.

- And where is she?

- She's... - I can't say dead. I talked like Mavis is alive -. Trapped in a lacrima. She gave birth to him inside it.

- How she got trapped in a lacrima?

- I don't know. But she managed to take our child outside that lacrima.

- That's good. Won't you seat, Draco?

- I'm fine... - answered the boy, putting his hood on again and trying to hide.

I looked at Draco's feet. They were covered in scales. Colorful scales. His nails were long, like claws, and he had a tail. His huge wings were showing under the cape. He was trying to make them the less noticeable possible.

- Your wings will broke if you keep doing that - I said to Draco. He looked at me -. I know what I'm saying. Dragon and demon appearances in human bodies are alike.

- You are lucky to be able to hide it - answered Draco -. I can't do that. I envy you.

- I'm possessed by a dark fairy for the last 300 years. I could stop her time nine months ago, but I don't know when she will be able to move again, and what she will do to me or my child. She used my body to kill my family, and made me watch it.

- You don't understand. This is a curse!

- I'm cursed by Ankhseram!

- Woah, that's serious - said Georg suddenly. He was playing with Larcade when we looked at him -. We're talking about the god of Life and Death. How didn't you kill this little one accidentally?

- I... Actually did it... But he seems to not be affected by the curse. Do you know about it?

- Not too much. I know how the curse works, but I didn't know that the cursed ones could have children.

- I didn't know that either. I found out when he was born.

Georg made some funny faces and sounds. Larcade laughed.

- He's four days old, right?

- Yes... How did you-?

- How smart are you? And his mother?

- Well... We are good strategists, and we love to read books for hours. She reads really fast, and I'm able to read two books at the same time. But I don't do that too much, because sometimes I mix the stories. I don't know if there's something else.

- I think he has the intelligence of both. Even baby monsters are not able to laugh at this age. Besides, monsters grow a little faster than humans. When you notice it, he will be able to answer you only moving his head.

- Thank you...

- It's nothing. And you should listen to him, Draco. After all, you will be the one able to see her again.

- I don't want to meet my mother without you, father - answered Draco.

- I'm human. I won't live that much.

- She abandoned us. I don't have any memory of her. I don't want to meet her.

- Your mother was the sweetest and kindest dragon I ever meet! Don't you dare to talk like this again!

Georg left, runnning far away from us. He was still carrying Larcade.

- Are you aware that he still has my son? - I asked to Draco.

- Yes, I am - answered Draco -. I'm bad for not wanting to meet my mother?

- No, you aren't. But your father is still waiting for her. You should try to understand how he feels. First of all, take off that cape.

Draco looked at me and denied with his head. He was terrified. He did some steps backwards and tried to ran away, but I pulled his cape off.

- That's a very unnatural position for a wings that huge - I observed.

- Give me my cape!  - requested Draco, trying to get it from my hands.

- No. Extend your wings.

- I deal with my curse how I want.

- First of all, this is not a curse. Second, I'll show you how to use them.

- What about your child? Aren't you worried?

- Yes, I am. But he's with your father. He will be fine.

- He could sell him to a cult or something.

- If he hasn't done it with you, and raised you like this, Larcade will be fine with him. Besides, your father took the bag where I have Larcade's things and the plushie I bought him today without us noticing it.

- Okay. I will try to trust you. Only for this. But we go out of the town.

- Not too far. I want to see if my child is safe.

- Okay, let's go.

The story you will never know: Chapter 9 - Promise between father and son

More dragon training.

Pairing: Zervis.

First chapter here.

Previous chapter here.

-------

A month passed. A full month where I only saw Larcade sometimes, when I returned to the town to get some food. Georg was taking good care of him. Sometimes, I left Draco alone for days, only to be with Larcade. But that made more good to Draco than I thought. The curse tried to appear a lot of times that month, but all were stopped by the lullaby. That day, when I returned, Draco was flying around.

- Seems like you fly very well - I said, watching him.

- Good morning, sensei. I still have trouble with landings.

- That's something you will learn with practice. But I have one last thing to show you.

- What is it?

- Free fall, and fly against wind.

- But that means...

- We have to go up, to the sky. Don't worry, I'll be there.

I turned into a demon and I flew to the sky. Draco followed me. The higher we went, the most difficult it was for Draco to follow me.

- All okay, Draco? - I asked when he arrived at my side, at a very high altitude.

- Yes. But it was hard to arrive here.

- Don't look down.

- We are that high?

- Yes, and I don't want you to be scared of it.

- Now I'm more scared than I was.

Suddenly, Draco was striked by the wind. He didn't had the same practice as me with that. I reacted fast, and I flew just behind of him before he could fall.

- How high we are!? - asked Draco, scared.

- You don't want to know - I answered -. Listen, I need you to do the same as me. Don't stop moving your wings, Draco.

Draco obeyed, but he was too scared and he couldn't hold himself in the same place.

- Faster, Draco. Move your wings faster. Their speed has to be the same as the wind speed.

- I'm trying, but... It's too high.

- That's why I told you to not look down.

- And where am I supposed to look?

- Front, or me.

I was upside down in front of Draco, playing with the wind.

- How?

- Practice, Draco. Practice. Are you better now?

- Yes, I think.

- Then, follow me. Use the wind to impulse yourself.

I passed under Draco, using the wind to glide. He followed me, having a little trouble to turn inside a wind strike, but doing it anyway. After a while of making him follow me inside that wind strike, I changed it. I went to one which wind went to the opposite direction that we were going.

- Sensei! - yelled Draco, when he noticed where the wind was going.

- Same concept as before! - I answered -. Use your wings to go foward while the wind is throwing you back!

- Understood!

Draco did what I said. He was learning fast since he could move his wings freely. It took two weeks, but they finally moved naturally. I forced positions too much in his wings, making him suffer a lot of pain. But it was worth. Not only Draco's smile when he started flying a few, also his realization that he will be stuck with those huge wings for all eternity. After all, dragons are immortal unless you kill them.

Suddenly, Draco went up to the sky.

- Where are you going? - I asked.

- I always wanted to touch a cloud.

- You can't. They are like smoke.

- Oh...

I flew at Draco's side when I saw his sad face. He was trying to catch a cloud.

- What's the problem, Draco? - I asked.

- I wanted to take one for my father, to apologize. When I was little, I said that we would see my mother again when I could catch a cloud. And now, they are here, between my fingers. She... Won't return, right?

- I don't know. I don't know where is she. But I know that her bonds with the others were important for her. The only explanation I find for what she did to you two is that she didn't want to lose you because she was a dragon.

- Are you sure? She would do that only to not lose her important ones?

- In a world with no dragons, she could be killed. And you too. We, the monsters, are not well seen in this era. Most of us are believed to be extinct, and only the less intelligent ones remain.

- So... We are like some kind of legends?

- Something like that.

I looked at Draco. He was still trying to catch a cloud for his father. His face told me how sad he was to not be able to do it. Without saying anything, I went to the town and I bought a jar, as fast as I could.

- Where did you go, sensei? - asked Draco when I returned.

I only smiled and opened the jar, catching a cloud inside. Then, I gave it to Draco.

- Now, you have a cloud for your father - I said.

- Thank you, sensei.

- Draco, it's time to return.

- Why? You have been training me only for one month.

- I know, but I'm not a dragon and I don't have anything else to teach you.

- The free falling?

- Why do you think we are at this height? Fold your wings and open it only when you are going to hit the ground.

- But... I won't fell unconscious during that?

I laughed a little when Draco asked that.

- That's the good thing of being a monster with wings - I answered -. We can't.

I made my demon form disappear and I fell of pure gravity. I didn't mind anything, I knew very well what I was doing. That's how my father trained me when I was little. I was scared at that age, but now it's different. I know what to do, and I knew that Draco was probably scared looking at me. But he didn't know where we were. Just at the top of the town. I made my wings appear a few meters before hitting the ground, just at the door of a restaurant. I made a light signal. It was Draco's turn.

I saw Draco falling half an hour after the signal, and he had his eyes closed. That was bad.

- OPEN YOUR EYES! - I yelled as loud as I could.

Draco opened his eyes immediately, seeing where he was. He looked around for a while and saw me.

Draco opened his wings late, but soon. He landed on a roof causing minimum damage, but breaking some tiles.

- Sorry - said Draco -, I was scared.

- Don't close your eyes the next time - I answered.

Draco nooded, and I used my time magic to repair the roof. I helped Draco to stand up, and we get off the roof and entered in the restaurant. Georg was in there with Larcade. Larcade laughed when he saw me.

- His eyes! - I said when I saw him -. He has my eyes!

- He opened them this morning - explained Georg -. Isn't he adorable?

- Sure he is.

- But... The babies' eyes aren't blue for a while after they open? - observed Draco.

- Eh? It's true... How?

- Monsters have their true eye color at birth - answered Georg -. I was surprised when I saw Draco's green eyes. Just like his mother.

- I knew I saw those eyes somewhere.

- Wait, I have my mother's eyes? - asked Draco, surprised.

- Exactly like her - answered Georg and I at the same time.

Some tears fell from Draco's eyes.

- Since you never wanted to know about your mother, I couldn't tell you - explained Georg.

- Your scales... Are just like hers - I added -. They bright with all existent colors.

Draco sat in front of his father and cried. Knowing that hurted him. I sat at his side and pat his back. Georg touched Draco's hair.

- You don't know how much I liked the mixture of both colors in your hair. Purple looks really good on you - said Georg, with tears in his eyes -. But, when I saw your eyes, I couldn't contain my tears. The same green eyes as her. Can you understand how happy I was in that moment?

- We will see her again, right? - asked Draco, giving the jar with the cloud to his father. Georg smiled, taking the jar.

- Of course we will. Soon or later, we will find her again and we will be together. I promise.

I looked at the scene with Larcade in my arms. He pulled my hair to get my attention. I looked at him. He was curious. That was the first time he saw me with his eyes.

- Will you mind if we stay a few days more with them? - I asked to Larcade. He only laughed -. I will take this as a yes. I have some questions to ask.

-----------

We went to a little field near to the town. It was perfect to show Draco how to use his wings and, if he lets me, some dragon magic.

- Now, extend your wings - I said -. No one is around. Only me.

Draco obeyed. But extending his wings was painful for him. After all, he forced that position for years.

- I can't do it! - said Draco while folding his wings again -. It hurts.

- How long have you been forcing them in this position? - I asked.

- Since I was ten, like 15 years ago.

- It will be hardest than I thought.

- I don't even know how they have to look in a normal position.

- Draco, look at me.

I showed him my demon form. We looked like each other, except for the horns I had in my head and the different color of our scales.

- Your wings are huge...

- And yours are the same size. Maybe a little bigger.

- They move...

- They respond at my brain. They are part of my body.

- Mine do that?

- If you let them, yes.

Draco looked at his wings, and at the weird position he put them over the years.

- Can we fix this? - asked Draco.

- With time, yes. Are you mentally prepared for it? The physical pain will be a fact.

- Yes. I can do it. I will recover my wings.

- That's the spirit.

It took some hours, but Draco managed to open his wings by himself. Even in the most painful parts, he rejected my help. When they were fully open, a lot of scales fell.

- What's this? - asked Draco.

- The scales of ten years - I answered -. And your mother wasn't a normal dragon.

- Do you know her?

- I don't remember her very well. I was too little when I meet her. I think she was a friend of my father. But I remember her scales falling everywhere. My father said that it was normal for her.

- Was she good?

- My memories of her have been blurred over the years, because of the person who is possessing my body. But she was... Cheerful, I think.

- I want my father to meet her again, so they can be together forever. But he's a human. That's not possible.

- Magic has some dark paths not everyone wants to walk. If you can find anything, do it. But I won't help you to find it. I lost too much.

Draco looked at me. I was looking at the sky, trying to not think in anything that could bring the curse there.

- Are you okay? - asked Draco.

- I'm fine. If I think in something painful, my curse appears and steals the lives of the ones near to me.

- That's what your curse does? I'm in danger?

- Not necessarily. Don't make me think in something painful for me, and run if you see me having a nightmare.

- Understood.

- Now, fold you wings. Carefully.

I put my hands in Draco's wings when he was folding them, to make sure he stopped at the right moment. I could notice his muscles contracting under his scales. I could feel how painful it was.

- Stop here, Draco.

- It hurts.

- Just right here. That's their natural position. Your muscles are not adapted, it will hurt for a while.

Draco fell on the ground. As a natural reaction, his wings opened completely and laid at his side.

- I can't with my soul... - said Draco, with his face buried on the grass.

- You look like a dead dragon - I observed, laughing a little.

- It's not funny.

I sat just in front of him. Draco looked at me. He knew very well I still was in my demon form.

- You can do that!? - asked Draco, surprised.

- Do what?

- Sit on the ground like this!

- I just have to move my wings a little, to make sure they don't touch the ground.

- I didn't know I could do that...

- Now you know.

- What else they can do?

- They will react at your natural movement, but you can move them at pleasure. Like this - I opened my wings and I folded myself into them -. Now, I'm an egg!

Draco laughed. I opened one of my wings to look at him.

- They can move individually!? - asked Draco, more surprised than before.

- They are very useful. And not only to fly and fight.

- Show me!

- Calm down, little dragon. Your wings are too weak right now.

- How I make them stronger?

- Patience. Strenght isn't gained in a few hours. And your wings' muscles are exhausted. Don't force them.

- I need to do it.

Draco moved his wings, slowly. The pain in his face was obvious.

- Draco, stop. That will make you more damage.

- I have to do it. If they don't become stronger, you will never recover your child.

- Of course I will recover him.

- No, you don't know my father. He wants me to listen to you, and he will keep your child until I do.

- Then, stop forcing yourself. Your wings could broke if you keep doing that. And, if they broke,- Ugh!

Not the curse. Not now. Not him. Even with my head hurting, my blurry vision and not being able to listen anything, I managed to sing the lullaby to stop the curse. It worked.

- Hey. What happened? - asked Draco when he saw I was returning to myself -. Why did you sing so suddenly?

- My curse was about to be released and take your life. I discovered recently that this song stops it to appear.

- For real? It's an strange song.

- It's a lullaby. My mother sang it to me when I was little. I don't know why it works with the curse, but it does.

- Teach it to me, so I can help every time the curse tries to appear.

- Ok, listen carefully. This is the fairies lullaby.

"La maldad más pura,

La maldad más oscura,

Tiene sangre de hada,

Su nombre es Anastascia.

No dejes que te atrape,

No dejes que te engañe,

Porque si lo hace,

Ya no podrás ver ni a papá ni a mamá."

Draco was listening to me carefully, and repeated the song when I finished.

- Perfect - I said when he finished to sing.

- Really? I didn't fail anything?

- No. It was perfect. And it's getting late, you should get some sleep.

- You don't sleep?

- I don't need it. And I don't want to have a nightmare right now. It releases the curse when I'm sleeping.

- Do you need to eat?

- Not necessarily. Are you hungry?

- Not right now, but I will appreciate something to eat in the morning.

- I will have something, then. It's better if you sleep in a tree. Your wings will be obligated to react to your nerves, and that will help them to be stronger.

I searched a branch big enough for Draco to sleep, and I helped him to get in it. His wings were too weak to act normally, and I had to make sure they weren't at the same side.

- Sleep well, Draco.

- Goodnight, sensei.

When Draco fell asleep, I went to search some food for him. After all, I was the one who didn't need to eat.
