บท 188: Three wolves
Draco quick went in front of the girls ready to attack as the door opened but through it came a student of Durmstrang who was pale and looked sick. Draco had seen the girl before, she was one of the students who had attacked him and was under Ryan's control.
Draco couldn't figure what it was and how the girl could wake up from the curse but he then heard a series of noises outside as well.
'The curse they were on was with the help of a rune as well.' Draco thought to himself as he quickly figured out what was happening, 'No wonder he could manifest all this energy into creating this huge army of his, but this is a huge help. All I need to do later is destroy the holder and I wouldn't have to worry about the people being under his control and attacking me anymore.'
Draco quickly went over to the Durmstrang girl as he held her before she could fall.
"What's going on Draco?" Hermione asked, "Who is she?"
"Sigh! since you are here might as well tell it to you but not now." Draco said, "I need to help them first."
Draco carried the girl towards the hall where his suitcase was as the girl kept murmuring some things. Pansy and Hermione looked at one another as they followed behind him only to be shocked to see the sight of several sickly looking pale people around.
"What happened to them?"
"They were under a curse but with the crystal that Hermione found being a holder to the rune that was powering the curse being broken they are waking up." Draco said as he saw a familiar figure, "Got your hand full?"
"They were much better to handle before when they were unconscious," Sirius said as he dragged a guy with the help of an elf to the suitcase shoving him in it. "Who are these two?"
"They are friends," Draco said looking back seeing Hermione and Pansy standing there with eyes wide open and looking pale like one of the curse victims. Draco handed the girl over to Sirius "They found a holder but it turns out to be for a rune that was controlling the curse so now they are all awake."
"A rune for a curse? That's new." Sirius mumbled.
"Yeah! Deal with them first... I'll still be looking for the other holder and I'll let you know when that's done." Draco said as he began walking again pulling the frozen Hermione and Pansy along with him.
"So where did you find the crystal, Hermione?" Draco asked but Hermione didn't answer.
"Was that bloody Sirius Black?" Pansy said as with her eyes wide as open as an owl.
"Yeah..."
"How... I mean why?"
"Who do you think helped him get out of Azkaban," Draco said looking smug but the two girls just looked at him as if he was an idiot, "Okay, I will explain it to you later but that is Sirius Black and he doesn't want to kill me... from what I know at least."
"Sigh! And here we were worried about you for nothing." Hermione said taking a deep breath, "I missed school for you... and with the things happening in school, I don't think it was the right decision."
"Well, there are plenty of reasons to be worried about me." Draco said smiling, "But I think its much better for you two to stay here. After all, Hogwarts isn't as safe as you think."
"So you do know what is going on in Hogwarts?" Hermione said frowning a little.
"I kinda do but as I said before it isn't for you to know, at least not now." Draco said, "Maybe this is the right thing after all someone has to come face to face with his destiny one way or the other. I promise I'll explain things later but for now, can you at least tell me where did you exactly found the crystal?"
"Sigh! I found it inside painting in the room we were just in." Hermione said, "I didn't know how but the moment I saw the crystal in the picture I realized it was not what it seemed like and as I went closer and reached for it, the crystal just dropped in my hands."
"I see, I guess you're quite sensitive to magic as well," Draco said as he narrowed his eyes, "Or maybe it's just this place is heightening your senses, after all, there is not a lot of magical items here. And since you're already good with magic you can sense them better."
"So she can sense magic better what's the point?" Pansy asked.
"The point my dear little Pansy is that I have a good way to find the holder." Draco said, "You see we wizards are unknowingly very sensitive to magic though we don't really notice it. If you have practiced enough magic or are researching into it you might even feel yourself absorbing the surrounding magic. And now since we are here where the magic is being sucked out of the air itself we as wizards are able to determine anything that is emitting magic as our body is searching for a source itself."
Pansy looked confused while Hermione seemed to get the gist of it.
"So that's why I found the painting weird... it was because the crystal or holder was heavily emitting magic itself," Hermione said as Draco and Pansy looked at her, "What? I do know a bit about runes myself."
"Excellent." Draco said, "Follow me now will you, we have another holder to find and we haven't got all day,"

*On the outskirt forest of Durmstrang.*
"Can't believe I have to walk so long for a bloody wand," A middle-aged man said as he was followed by two other people, one short and bald while the other skinny and tall "Why couldn't master just apparate us inside."
"George, you were always an Idiot. Did you forget what our master said." The short one said, "The place is damaged and we can't use magic in there."
"No point in getting angry about it Tim." The tall one said in a lazy tone that seemed to match him very well, "It's all that bloody Silas' fault. I wonder what master even sees in him."
"Well said, Sid." George said, "But we do have our chance now... master was clearly disappointed in him after he couldn't even seem to manage to handle a kid. Genius my ass! What use is him being a werewolf when he can't even handle a 12-year-old child. And all the excuses..."
"Oh, but it was kinda amusing to see him making a mockery of himself." Tim said laughing a little, "Poor Silas couldn't even bring a correct wand. Seeing Master yell at him and punishing him was the best thing I have seen in a while."
"Well, you know as they, some things are just meant to be." Sid, the tall one said with a crooked smile, "Silas's mistake is what gave us the opportunity to grow on top and have master grant us with this power."
"I know right, master's power are invisible." George said, "I never imagined turning into a werewolf to be such a fun thing. No more pain and only power."
"That's good and all but remember if the three of us fail the task we are sure to be beheaded." Tim said getting a bit serious as the other two rolled their eyes, "We have the same powers as Silas and there's three of us. I am not saying Silas was great but the boy did manage to fight off werewolves like us and escape without any magic, so we know he got something up his sleeve."
"Relax, I am sure the boy isn't stupid enough to return back." George said with a slight snort, "Power or not, I can easily take care of the little brat if he comes across me."
"Yeah and that is if he is gutsy enough. It's been weeks and there isn't any sign of him nor his family. For all I know, the boy is too scared and has run off somewhere else." George and Sid began to laugh heavily as George sighed until he noticed something out of the corner of his eyes.
"Guess he is stupid enough!" Tim said as the other two noticed the thing too.
It was a car that came flying in Durmstrang in front of their very own eyes.
