to make it up to you guys

Did I miss anything?

*I think you broke them*

Woops well at least I have food

I look in front of me at the table full of food that appeared mid-explanation. I look back up at my da and dad who are both still staring off into space. I quickly access the food in front of me before digging into half a dead cow on a plate.

~We are gonna need to eat a lot more meat, and in winter it will help to hunt. Otherwise we will get really tired and want to hibernate.~

-Kali, can you tell me more about your species?-

-Sure, what do you want to know?-

-everything you can tell me about you and familiars-

-well familiars are there to help balance your magic and keep you safe. If you hadn't already then when you went through your inheritance then I would take away a portion of your pain-

-I'm glad I already did, I don't want you to be hurt on my behalf.-

-oh no I take it away, I don't take it upon myself.-

-oh ok, well what about you?-

-Well I don't know everything but Basilisks live a long time. Our knowledge is passed generation to generation. This is so when we hatch even if we are alone we can survive. When all three eyelids are open we have a deadly stare. I will grow exceedingly fast to about 60 ft in about a year. A simple shrinking charm will allow me to stay by your side. Also I have deadly venom that will need to be harvested about once a month. This venom you can do what you wish with and will fetch a hefty price in any apothecary.-

"Just who are you talking too?" The voice startled me and I jumped a foot in the air. I looked up and saw da and father (Tom)looking at me. 'Whoops' "Kali, my familiar" I respond a bit sheepishly. "And why was she telling you about basilisks?" "umm because she is kind of a basilisk." I'm still not looking at them and don't see the surprised look in their eyes. "Can I see her?" It's da that asked. I slowly nod and feel Kali come down from were she was around my neck to rest like a bracelet around my left wrist. I continue to look at my lap while lifting my left arm to show them.

Should I tell them about who my mate is?

~yeah, then they can help us be around him, seeing as you insist on not telling him about the creature bond~

*If we aren't around him for too long then we will get very sick and you will die if he rejects us.*

If no one knows this then we can't get help to have dray around us bringing us back to health.

Ok I will tell them

Da and father have finished fawning over Kali which she greatly appreciated, so I cleared my throat gaining their attention. "Um so, I'm a demon fox, veela, vampire, hybrid. I kinda met my mate today so if i'm sick just bring Draco Malfoy over and I'll be fine." They both look at me in a bit of shock. "So are you the dom or sub?" This came from father. "I'm the dom but with sub streaks." They both nod accepting my response. "Well," Da says,"As he is my godson he will be staying here until school starts. He actually should be here in about 10 minutes." He acts as if he didn't just tell me I have 10 minutes till my mate is coming to stay for a month. Father seems to pick up on my panic and chuckles while standing up from his spot on the couch. " I shall bring you to your room to get ready." He steps out of the room and I follow. We take a left and go down a long corridor before ascending a flight of stairs taking a right before we stop in front of a large red oak door. "This is your room, the house elves have already bought your trunk up here." He then turns and leaves presumably to prepare to welcome our guests. I enter the room without looking around and pull a emerald silk button up and black skinny jeans out followed by black dragonhide combat boots. I put all this on and before I knew it a loud knock was heard even though I'm on the second floor. I quickly will myself to be at the front door. A second later I open my eyes to a large set of mahogany double doors which I quickly pull open. On the other side of the door was the tall blond man from the robe shop and Draco. Both males stand there looking at me both in slight shock before quickly stepping in and giving their cloaks to the house elf that had come to the door. I close the door behind the two men and lead them towards where I can smell da and dad. We enter a room similar to the one I was first in, sans pictures. Father looks a bit surprised at my appearance, probably expecting a house elf to bring the two guests to the room. He doesn't mention it though as he starts pleasantries with the elder Malfoy. "How are you Lucius?" My father asks while I discreetly watch Draco and how the adults act around each other. Father is standing next to and slightly in front of da. Draco, on the other hand, is completely behind his dad which is making all of my creatures on edge. The older Malfoy responds simply with, "The ministry is trying as ever." At his words the slight tension in the air is removed and everyone migrates to a seat. Father and da cuddle on the loveseat, Mr. Malfoy sits in the armchair, leaving the couch for me and Draco. "I see you have found your son, congratulations Tom," Lucius speaks like they are old friends. Father nods at the statement. Just then the doors open and a large green snake comes through. The snake startles all of the people in the room but Draco seems especially frightened.

-Who are you and why are you hear?-

I hiss out angrily to the snake that just entered.

-I am your father's familiar Nagini, is there a reason you seem to not like me?-

The large snake asks while coming over to me, incidentally closer to Draco causing him to squeak.

-Oh, I see your intended is afraid of me. I apologise.-

With a look at father she slithers back out the door she came in from. Draco almost instantly relaxed, but Father and da were looking at each other while Draco's father was looking at me weirdly. After a few minutes of silence a loud pop sounded in the room and a small house elf stood in front of Lucius. "Mistress Narcissa best tellings Doby's to ask Master Lucius when he's best getting homes." The small elf squeaked out. Lucius sighed and nodded, "Tell her I am on my way," the elf nodded and popped away. Lucius sighed again and with a nod to his son left in a cloud of billowing robes. "Hey dad can Draco and I go explore the manor?" I ask looking from dad to Draco and back. He nods his consent, I shoot up from my seat Draco's wrist gently in my hand leading him to the door. Once in the foyer I pull out a galleon and flip it. "Why'd you do that?" Draco asks puzzled. "Oh, it's a way to decide your fate." seeing his continued confusion I explained. "You flip a coin, heads you go left, tails you go right. The coin landed dragon side up so we go left."

He nodded understanding my explanation and off we went.
