Duel Enrollment

Final Fragments

Last Time:

The minister of magical Britain nodded and looked at Julian and Draco, "I know, but there may be a solution ... now neither of you have to agree. You both stop at Hogwarts, not as students, but as representatives of your own school. I'm suggesting pitting Legerdemain against Hogwarts to begin revealing the truth. Would you like to do this?"

XXXXXXXXXX

"This isn't as interesting as father made it sound." Draco mumbled softly as the train shook a little. He glared at the people in their compartment who were commenting on his Jackal familiar before looking down at the young wizard sleeping with his head in Draco's lap. (Ok maybe it's not too bad.) He thought as he gently ran his fingers through Julian's hair being careful not to wake the ring sized Tanzanite hidden in the wavy golden red locks.

Suddenly, Julian's eyes snapped open once the other occupant changed to gossiping about Harry Potter and he sat up enough so his face was just a fraction of an inch away from Draco's, "Let's ditch this place."

"Ok." Draco said without really realizing it since he was too focused on Julian's lips.

One of the other passengers scoffed. "You must be stupid if you think you can find another compartment. The train is full." The Hogwarts students snickered as if they made a clever insult.

One witch swooned, "Not to mention Harry Potter is on the train somewhere and who wouldn't want to meet him!" She squealed in a fangirlish way and the others nodded in agreement making Draco roll his eyes.

(As if he'd want anything to do with suffocating fans that only care about the 'Boy Who Lived' crap and not who he is as a person. No wonder Julian wants to leave.) Draco thought as he got fed up over all the 'Potter' gossip that was completely incorrect. He will have to tell his father about these books that could not have been written with Julian's permission even though they claim to be about Harry Potter.

Julian forced a smile, "Good thing that's not what I meant." He said ignoring the 'Harry Potter' statement as he took Draco's hand and wandlessly opened the window shocking the other students who couldn't do wandless magic though they were each around 16-17 years old.

Draco saw the tiny occamy zip out the window and knew where this was going, "Would you like to come, Sasha?"

'No, jackals are wise enough to keep their paws on solid ground. Besides, I'm sure you want to be alone with Julian as much as I want to have a moment alone with these snots.' Sasha secretly spoke with her wizard through the familiar bond. No doubt she wanted a little pay back for those unflattering comments about her being weird for not being an owl like other familiars, which is stupid! Those feather dusters send mail not stay with their wizard to protect and no one seems to understand any of the owls or cats they claim are familiars, which means no bond. No understanding means no bond. No bond means it's not a familiar!

The Malfoy smirked as his jackal stretched out on the bench he and Julian were on before, "Don't hurt them too badly." He said as he followed Julian right out the window. The shrieks of horror were heard behind them as they fell through the air. Tanzanite grew to his supposed full sized form and gracefully flew under the bridge the train was riding across to catch both the Legerdemain students.

"Thanks, Draco. If I heard Harry Potter again I was going to hex someone." Julian said a frustrated sigh.

"Y-yeah." Draco said nervously. It just so happens they landed on Tanzanite so Draco was sitting in front of Julian, which meant Julian could help him stay on the occamy by wrapping his arms around Draco's waist. He really tried to steady his heart rate, but it was difficult since the warm arms supporting him around his waist felt so nice. "Wave to the Hogwarts students." He smirked mischievously and they both waved as the occamy flew around the train a few times before flying ahead. The sight of all those students gaping and scrambling to see the occamy fly by was hilarious.
