The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 30 - Birdie

Pandora was waiting in her office, sitting on her chair. Draco walked in shortly after with his parents behind him, Pandora sat up with a smile and stood up. "Welcome Narcissa." She smiled.

"You know my name?" She seemed a little shocked.

Pandora hummed a response with a smile. "I was walking the grounds as a normal cat when you both were at school." Pandora tugged her gloves with a smile and shook her hand. "Nice to finally meet you though." 

"Oh, Same to you, Nice to meet you. Lucius came back slightly shocked, Though I was informed you had dementors guarding you." Pandora nodded enthusiastically.

"I did!" She smiled innocently. "They are outside circling my tower now though. As I mentioned to Lucius last time. You are completely safe from them since they follow my command and will not act on their own decisions." 

Narcissa nodded understandingly and linked hands with her husband.

"Today I do plan on introducing you to the Bird Grim-Reaper, But they have a habit of appearing later then preferred out of pure spite." She approaches the window, tapping the open window seal impatiently. 

"Pure spite?" Lucius asked curiously yet cautiously.

"Yep! It doesn't mean they hate you, it's sort of just pay-back for our actions to them previously, Before the first war, when Death was still around we planned elaborate pranks and jokes to play on each other. Bird just so happens to have been the main target for everyone." She turned to them. 

"Damn right I was the main target." Another voice pops out as a white large bird, taking the vague appearance of an owl. They form into the appearance of a human, with lanky limbs, but their cloak is very thick and almost as if it's two, their hair is as white as snow and thick twin braids. Pandora smiled and pulled them into the room.

"This is Birdie, Birdie this is Narcissa, Draco and Lucius." Pandora introduced them with a smile. "They are the Malfoys." Birdie examines Lucius curiously before approaching, Lucius tensing with his eyes widening.

"Is your father Abraxas Malfoy?" They crossed their arms, Lucius nodded hesitantly. "I remember your father, troublesome little boy, fun to mess with." They chuckled and looked at Draco. "I presume your the one Kitty there has chosen?" 

Draco nodded with a gulp. "Yes Sir? Ma'am?" he seemed rather confused about the gender of the reaper in front of him. 

They chuckle and shake their head. "Just Bird or Birdie, I don't like formalities like that. And I don't exactly have a gender, So They/Them." 

They sit on Pandora's chair with a smile.

"That's my seat." Pandora stared at them in annoyance.

"Yes but I'm the guest here and your my friend. Anyways. I hear Draco will become one of us. How do you plan to do that?"

"Well I've been looking through Deaths old files and notes-" Pandora started before getting cut off by the overgrown bird in front of her.

"Oh Naughty Naughty." They cooed smugly. Pandora simply rolled her eyes.

"Hush up Bird-brains, There was an old ritual written in on how we could turn a living person into a Grim-Reaper. While they won't be as powerful as us, They'll still be powerful enough to carry out their duties and keep the balance." She looked at Draco. "So that means if it succeeds, I'll help you hone in your abilities, including the shapeshifting. Bird-brains here will help you with learning how to potion-brew and what different potions do." Pandora leaned forward and put her hands on her chair.

"Wait who said I was going to help?" Pandora looked down at Birdie.

"I did. You still follow my orders remember?" Birdie scowled in annoyance but hummed in agreement. Pandora smiled and gently patted their head. "Good bird. Now, If it doesn't work first try, You'll still be an honorary Grim-Reaper til we can find a way for you to become an actual Grim-Reaper." She looked at Narcissa with a smile. "You three are also invited to Deaths ball, Please just be respectful during the dance because while its a time for us to celebrate our creation, It's also a time for us to mourn Death's disappearance. It's in a Months time today by the way."
