"Cause I haven't given my presents yet." Flame said with a gentle smile. "You're the first one I'm giving one too. Cause you're the first human so far to trust me and be friendly. The last time I showed myself as a human, even one was mean, except you. So for that I give you a dragons greatest gift." Flame said holding out his hand so his palm was toward the sky, he sat on a bench and every muscule in that arm grew to 2 times it's already buldging size. A small green flash of energy brightened his hand and when the flash died down, a silver ring with an emerald on top of it, two engraved dragon mouths inclosed it on either side. He slipped on Terras ring finger. "This is my Dragon Ring. It will grant you great luck and power when the time comes. Be proud to weild a ring of it's magnificence." Flame said still smiling. He got up and hugged her, "Well time to give everyone else presents, see you later, Terra. Oh and Merry Christmas." Flame said before running back to the Great Hall.
 
I went to fly over by the lake. My feet skimmed the water, as I looked for some fish. I finally caught one, and dropped it back in. I was bored, so I decided to just fish. I then soared up high into the sky. Some owls flew beside me. I saw Hagrid and flew down to his hut. I landed on his shoulders, and he stroked my feathers.
"'Ello there" he said kindly. I couldnt get enough of exploring, and again flew to the tree I started off in.
 
Flame finally walked outside of the castle to find Karli, to give her, her present. But instead he found me struggling with a black dragon. The black dragon kept trying to knock me out of the sky but I was too strong and gave him everything I had. But it wasn't enough, I let out a mighty roar. Flame ran until he was directly beneath us. "Johann!" Flame said as his eyes lit up and glared red, his mouth was in a snarl. "Switch me bodies! NOW!" Flame said as we instantly switched. Flame, now in his own body, tackled the black dragon. The black dragon snapped at Flame neck but missed. Flame then took the upper hand and drug his fangs into the dragons neck, He ripped his head away taking the dragons whole neck with him, with the head still attached. He had seperated the neck from the body with the greatest of ease. He swallowed the neck and head whole and let the body splash into the lake. He then switched bodies again. "That's how you take care of a dragon!" Flame said giving the thumbs up to me once he was back in my body.

He walked over to Hagrid and asked, "Have you seen Karli?"
 
I saw Flame, and flew away towards him. I landed on his head.
 
"Come on, Karli. I need to give you your present. It's a late christmas present, but better late than neve." Flame said laughing as he gently pulled Karli down from his hair, he fixed his spikes that she bent and let put her on the ground. He stepped back and waited for her to return normal.
 
I was stunned for a minute, then managed to whisper: "Thank you, Flame...." , looking at him retreating, then at the ring, twisting it in thought.
"But... I'm... Not wholely human..... Not anymore...."
 
Berii patted Andy's head and went out the common room and walked through the Great Hall. She grabbed some foods and placed it on the tray. She wanted to give it to Andy, she thought he might be tired because of her. Before leaving, she looked for her friends, but saw no sign of them.

She sighed and walked up to the common room and put the tray on the table, she didn't want to disturb him so she walked outside again.

She wandered outside, closing the buttons of her coat. It wasn't that cold, but she felt like she was in the North Pole.

She spotted Terra and walked over to her.

"Hey, Terra!" she greeted cheerfully but she still sounded sick.

"Yeah, just a little, but I don't feel sick at all." Berii said cheerfully. She tightened her scarf, put her hands on her the pockets of her coat, and looked at the expression on Terra's face.

"Something's bothering you, right?" she asked.
 
I transformed.
"Okay, sorry!" I said cheerfully.
 
Cassidy felt Johann searching, speaking to her through her mind. She was startled, feeling somewhat violated.

It's a trust thing, Johann, she thought back at him. I know this is the only way you can communicate through that dragon body, but I will have to speak to you about this when we can be face to face. I don't want anyone probing my thoughts. I hope you unerstand.

With that, Cassidy did her best to block out the rest, refusing to let her guard down, and very dissatisfied with the way she was. She went for a walk down the halls, carrying her bo, numchaku, and her karate uniform. The people she passed glanced at her strangely, but she pressed on. In her mind, she was hoping for a space....a place where she could be on her own to clear her thoughts and practice.

For the third time, the door appeared in the hall she was walking in. This time, it was a floor away from where it had been before. Without question, Cassidy entered, to find the familliar dojo. She dressed quickly in her white canvas uniform, having put the black one away for a while. After securing her worn black belt with the yellow streak down the middle, she picked up her bo, and bagan a kata.

Her mind cleared of thought, of feeling, of everything, she moved gracefully, extending her body further than it had ever gone, a practice method her father had always pushed. She continued her graceful, deadly dance, her movement powerful but graceful.

It was here that she broke down and cried.

Andrew dozed awake slowly when he felt a pat on his head, but fell asleep shortly, slipping to a lying position on the floor. When he awoke a second time, there was a small tray on the table before him, and on it was some food from the Great Hall.

Smiling, he ate quickly, wondering who could have brought the food. He figured it must have been Berii, since she was no longer asleep on the couch. Once he had finished eating, he went upstairs to shower and change out of his dance clothes. Pondering for a moment after his refreshing shower, he decided to go for a walk outside.

He pulled on a pair of snow boots over his baggy jeans, and a thick, warm parka over his long sleeved green shirt. Next, he pulled a hat his mother had made for him over his spiky, unruly hair, and set out for the outdoors.

After exiting the castle and walking about on his own for a while, he spotted Berii and Terra.

"Hey!" he called cheerfully, waving to them. "Good mor-erm....Good afternoon!"
 
Berii frowned because she knew Terra was hiding something. She smiled again, thinking it's best not to mess with it, it's none of her business anyway.

"Good mor-erm....Good afternoon!"
She jumped, she was so deep in thought she didn't notice Andrew's presence.

"Hey, Andy!" she greeted. She walked over to him and curtsied. "Thanks so much for last night." she thanked.
 
Andrew blushed, but his smile stayed, so happy was he to see her again.

"Well, I couldn't just leave you there..." he said shyly, and dug at some snow with his boot. "Was that you who brought some breakfast up to me this morning? It was really nice of you...Are you feeling better?"

He looked at her happily, noticing that she did look a little better than yesterday...
 
After Berii had finished curtsying she sat on a wooden bench near them and said, "I'm glad you were the one who ate it, I was thinking it was wrong to put that there." she paused. "And, thanks to you, I'm feeling so better!"
 
"First you must understand, most of my gifts have no worthy as in money. Dragon gifts improve ones health, mental state, strength, and etc." Flame said as she transformed

For the first time his face grew serious and alittle bit frightening. He put his right hand on Karli's face so that it was covering her whole face. His face then scrunched up to a snarl, his eyes flashed red and all his muscles grew tense. The gap between her face and his palm flashed red, which was capable of blinding karli temporarily. He then relaxed and his right arm fell to his side and his face was back to its peaceful expression. "I gave you the gift to see things as they really are, it lets you destinguish truth from fiction. You are going to need that gift later on, cause as years go by things will grow more decieveing, the gift I gave you will let you see that." Flame said, his voice serious, but his expression was still peaceful. "I'll also give you one word of advice. Your friends you have right now, will be your only true friends in times to come, yet you might make a few more along the way. Johann is the truest of all of them, I hope you realize that. As you can see his loyalty is unbreakable, he was seriously thinking about leaving you, but he knew he couldn't, and he stayed and faced the consiquences of his previous actions...for you. I don't think I need to prove to you how true he is, I think you know." Flame said.

He turned to leave, walked 5 paces, and then turned around, "Can you do something for me?" Flame asked. Without waiting for an answer he said, "Johann is struggling right now with himself. Can you promise me you'll be by his side? Will you take care of him when I can't?" Flame said as a few tears came to his eyes. "Merry Christmas, Karli." Flame said before turning around and returning to the castle.

I understand Cassidy. Is all I said before exiting her mind.

When Flame was in the Great Hall. "Now were is this Cassidy girl? Johann may only know of the Dragon Tear, but there are other ways of help her." I said softly looking around.
 
Cassidy picked herself up off the floor, wiping her eyes furiously. She picked up her weapons, and sat down on the floor once more.

"This is terrible," she said to herself. "I've never felt such a strong sadness before."

She crossed her legs, and lay her weaponry down at her side. Closing her eyes, she sank deep into meditation, hoping no one else was looking for this room, because she did not wish to be disturbed...

Andrew smiled, glad that Berii was feeling better. He looked over at Terra.

"How are you these days?" he asked her, sitting down on the bench next to Berii. "It feels like I haven't seen you in ages, even though it was only yesterday!"
 
When he gave the gift to me, I gasped a little in pain.
"Johann is struggling right now with himself. Can you promise me you'll be by his side? will you take care of him when I cant?" Flame asked.
I saw the tears in his eyes, as he turned to leave.
"I'll try..." I whispered.

I walked down to the lake, Soraya was there waiting for me. I stroked her nose.
"I dont know what Im doing right now...I scared.." I whispereed to her, as a tear fell down my cheek.
 
Flame left the Great hall, now looking for Berii, the one Johann cared most about. "I can easily give her, her present right now. But do I dare teleport here?" Flame said to himself. "I can very easily disable hogwarts defenses against teleportation, and teleport to Berii. But do I dare risk the chance of getting caught?" Flame said again to himself. He finally decided the gift was worth the risk. Flame snapped his fingers and disappeared.

He reappeared on the bench that Berii was sitting on. He found her with Andy and said smiling brightly, "Am I interupting anything?"

Without an answer Flame turned to Berii and explained why he was in Johanns body. He then said after the explanation, "Since I wasn't human yesterday I'll give you a late christmas present." Flame took the hand Berii had the golden ring on. He kissed the back of her hand gently and then tapped the ring. "There done. I instilled the blessing his mother gave to him to you. Meaning that his mother will also be with you no matter where you are, to comfort you. The kiss on your hand, was also a gift. The blessing doesn't mean anything if you don't know his mother. I gave you all the memories Johann has of her, now you'll feel that his mother was like a mother to you. Believe it or not, his mother has looked after you, through him. So you are like a daughter to her, so this will complete the circle, by let you know what she looked like and her personality." Flame said, then he realized he confused himself by the whole explanation. "Nevermind what I just said, just know that you also have his mother's blessings." Flame said before she had a chance to reply.

He then turned to Andrew. "Although you don't know me, I've been watching you and I believe you're a very good person. For that I give you Johanns blessings, and his acceptance that you love his sister. You are now a friend in his eyes." Flame said.

He then stood up and looked at both of them and said, "Merry Christmas." He then snapped his fingers and teleported to the courtyard.
