Chapter 10- Pranks and Revenge

"WE'RE JUST IMMATURE GUYS PLAYING PRANKS ON PEOPLE, HAVING FUN." -Tom DeLonge

CHRISTMAS FLEW BY and Onyx gained several very interesting presents from the Professors, Hagrid, her mother, and Jasmine. The only question Onyx had about her presents though was how the hell did her mother wrap her present?

Among her presents were several pranking items, sweets, a silver hairband, a journal, books, and from her mother a silver dragon necklace that came with a note saying it would contain her powers until she was ready to try and control them.

However, Onyx, being a dragon, was probably supposed to stretch her wings from time to time as now the tattoos on her back constantly prickled with pain. Onyx began to wonder if there was a way to control that too.

As the next full moon drew ever closer Onyx noticed that Remus disappeared and though she knew the reason why she dimly wondered where he went.

She wanted to avoid the place at all costs not because she was afraid of him, but because she turned into a freaking overgrown fire-breathing lizard during the full moon.

Even as a werewolf, he wouldn't stand a chance against even a fledgling dragon.

○-●-○

Onyx woke up the day of the full moon with a killer headache and she felt like she was hardly able to walk. She stood shakily and slowly made her way over to her dresser where she had left her wand.

Then stumbling slightly she made her way to the restroom only to let out a scream at her reflection.

Her hair was cut short. Far to short.

Instead of reaching her butt as it had before it now barely tickled her shoulders.

And she knew exactly who did it.

"SIRIUS BLACK! YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

Down in the common room, Sirius heard the enraged scream of the girl he so loved to bother.

Hearing her angry tone he instantly jumped to his feet and sprinted over to the portrait of the Fat Lady leaving his friends behind in an instant.

James Potter whipped his head around as Onyx stormed down the staircase and into the common room with incredibly short hair.

Onyx's eyes were shining bright white and she looked ready to kill, "Where did he go?"

Too terrified to verbally respond James simply pointed in the direction of the portrait hole as Onyx raced away.

When the portrait had slammed shut behind her James relaxed back into the couch only to start again as Onyx bellowed, "I'M COMING FOR YOU BLACK!!!!"

After a few moments, James relaxed back into his seat before raking his hand through his hair -a nervous habit he had developed rather early on in life, "Sweet Merlin she's terrifying."

Sirius skidded around the corner the furious girl barely ten paces behind him. Damn if he had known she would be this fast he would have given himself a much larger head start. He turned his head around only to see Onyx, with glowing white eyes (which later he realized were extremely creepy), whip her wand out of her sleeve and point it at him.

"Wingardium Leviosa," Onyx yelled defiantly.

Instantly Sirius felt his feet begin to lift off the ground. Knowing he had been caught he spun himself around in the air to look at the girl. The second he made eye contact with her he felt like he was captured. Completely entranced. He tried his hardest to look away but he just couldn't.

Her eyes were so white they made fresh snow look like slush. And they glowed brighter than the sun on the hottest day of summer. But, most of all if looks could kill he would have been buried at the bottom of the ocean. Forget six feet under.

Dimly the back half of Sirius's brain registered the fact that they were moving towards the Black Lake. And while he was completely positive that he was going to get soaking wet he simply couldn't look away from the girl's eyes.

○-●-○

Onyx chuckled lightly as she made her way towards the Black lake with a certain annoying idiot in tow all the while keeping eye contact with him. She had noticed that as soon as Black had made eye contact with her a dazed look had appeared in his eyes.

She had shrugged it off simply passing it off as a dragon thing.

Little did she know that she was only half right.

○-●-○

As she walked the last few feet to the lake Onyx pivoted so that she kept eye contact with the black-haired boy as she held him over the lake.

Then with a slight laugh, she jerked her wand away.

Sirius seemed to immediately snap out of it when she dropped him as his hand snapped to his robes and he grabbed his wand before sticking it between his teeth. Yet strangely his thoughts then began to race as to what the heck Onyx was.

Glowing eyes were generally not normal.

Then he felt the cold of the water hit him. Forget the impact it was so cold that his muscles seized up and it took him a moment to remind himself that if he didn't move it, and rather quickly to, then he was going to drown.

Thankfully the water was shallow though so all he had to do was let himself sink and then push off against the bottom of the lake.

As he popped to the surface he not so gracefully floundered to the shallowest bit of the lake.

Then he looked at Onyx with a look of confusion on his face, "What are you?"

○-●-○

Though Sirius relentlessly hounded Onyx for the rest of year as to what she was she was able to keep her fiery heritage a secret. Thankfully Remus was able to do the same.

But how long could the two hide their true selves?

After all, the truth has a way of coming out.
