Drago’s and Dragonia’s Summer house. House 13, Box Hill Road, Surrey Box Hill  They have a nice house because they got it BEFORE their father was killed. They ended up poor afterwards, since their mother always looked after them and got sick and couldn’t get a job. It has a garden and small green house, since Dragonia and their mother loves gardening. The door opens to a small kitchen/dining area with small fridge/freezer, small stove, small sink, small table, small chairs. It then goes to a small living room the size of a small walk in closet with a chair, a small coffee table, and a small TV on the coffee table. There’s one washroom off to the side of living room. Upstairs is a small crawl space attic area for Drago’ and Dragonia’s room with a curtain dividing the room in half for their privacy and a small bed on each side of the curtain. Their mother sleeps on the chair in the living room (her choice, not theirs). All of the rooms are painted green, and the living room walls are covered by pictures of the family that once was, Drago/their father/their mother/Dragonia. There are pictures of only Drago and their father, Dragonia and their mother, and vice versa. Outside, their house is surrounded by trees. In the middle of their yard stands one large tree that Drago enjoys reading under. A rickety old gardening shed behind the house. Down the road to the left is the dreaded museum where their father was killed, and past that is a small creek. Past the creek is a giant field of massive flowers. Down the road from their house to the right is an abandoned mill.

As they got home, Dragonia got out of the car really fast and ran to the door. "Mom, can you toss me the keys." She shouted back, turning in the direction of car. She didn't notice the door opening behind her. Arms went around her in a hug from behind and she heard a very familiar voice she never thought she'd hear ever again whisper into her ear. "Welcome home love." Tears started to instantly run down her cheeks as the memory of her looking through a magazine with Sarah and pointing out the necklace to Sarah ran through her head. "Sarah!" was all she could manage to say before she turned around and sobbed on Sarah's shoulder. When she got control of herself enough to talk, she said "I've missed you so much."
Sarah:"I've missed you too, so we've moved back. I am here to stay." Sarah said, tears starting to fall from her eyes. They stood there, holding each other for a while. When they stopped crying, they broke the hug and Sarah asked while wiping away her tears "So, um, what's this I hear about you being a witch?" She sounded really curious.
"Well, I can do magic. That's why my hair was on fire the one morning. We even have an owl. But you can't tell anyone, not even your parents." Dragonia said happily, wiping her tears away as well.

"Nice to see you again Sarah. You two are going to make a great couple." Drago was surprised to see her too but allso wanted to bug Dragonia since she bugged him about Al. "I take it that's where the pendent came from?" It was more of a statement than a question. Just then, Tallow flew down and landed on Drago's shoulder. "Tallow, you've returned!." Drago exclained. He looked at him and realized that he also had a letter in his beak. "Who's this from?" he asked, taking the letter and giving Tallow a treat from his pocket. He looked at the name on the front of the envilope and his eyes grew wide. "It's from Tallonbeak." After seeing the confused look on everyones faces he explained. "Oh, he's the head house elf that works in the kitchen of Hogwarts." Drago opened the letter and read aloud, "Hello Drago, Tallonbeak is writing this to say that Tallonbeak hopes that Drago has a great summer and that Tallonbeak can't wait to see Drago next year. I've made friends with humans and elves. This was a crazy year." Drago said as they all went into the house.
Drago put Tallow into his cage, wrote a letter for Tallow to take to Al tomorrow and unpacked. Lanette cooked dinner for the four of them. Dragonia and Sarah caught up with each other. They ate supper and talked a lot. Sarah set up a sleeping bag beside Dragonia's bed, she was sleeping over. Drago let Tallow out so that he could hunt mice during the night and they all went to bed.

Drago was the first one up the next morning. He looked towards the window on his side and saw Tallow pirched on the window ledge. There were windows on each side of the attic, but as usual, there was Tallow hooting happily at him at his. "Shhh, Tallow. Your going to wake everyone up." Drago whispered. He called Tallow over by holding out his arm.When Tallow landed on his arn, Drago took the letter he wrote to Al, held it out and Tallow snapped it up in his beak. Drago told Tallow to take it to the adress Al wrote down for him.Tallow took off out the window and Drago watched as he became a speck on the horizon. He didn't want to wake up his mom by going down stairs, so he took out one of his text books and studied.

Dragonia and Sarah woke up at the same time. They had fallen asleep holding hand and Dragonia was glad that it wasn't a dream. "Morning." Dragonia yawned with a smile. She was truly happy now.
Sarah:"Morning love." Sarah had always called Dragonia that.
After changing, the first thing Dragonia did was take out her Care of Magical Creatures text book to show Sarah the different creatures that actually existed.

After everyone had woken up and had breakfast, Drago headed outside with his charms text book and went to the big tree in the middle of the yard, sat down and started to read. It is good to be home.

Tallow flew into the house and landed next to Drago carrying Al's response.
"That's fantastic! Dragonia must be so happy. I can't wait to see you, this house is amazing, my room is huge! The pool is great too, there's a music room, a library, it's more than I ever imagined! I hope to see you soon, we can go swimming together and relax on the gazebo. This is gonna be the best summer vacation ever <3"
~Love, Al

Drago went into the house to get a glass of lemonade and sat down at the small kitchen table. As Tallow landed beside him on the table he noticed a letter in his beak. Drago took the letter from Tallow and gave him a treat. Tallow then flew into the living room and up the stairs to his room. He was probably tired, so Drago would wait until later to send a responce. He read the letter with a grin. "Can't wait." He said to himself. He ran up stairs took out the box he used for his prized posetions and layed the letter inside. He saw Tallow on the window ledge sleeping. He sat on his bed and wrote another letter to send later. When he was finished writing he put the letter on his bed side table and sat back in his bed, still looking at Tallow. All of a sudden a memory from muggle science class, before Hogwart, popped into his mind. He ran down stairs, out of the door, and directly under his window. He examind the ground and his thoughts were comfirmed. His mom was doing some gardening so he called over to her. "Mom, come here, quick." She ran over and he showed her what he was looking at.
Lanette:"EWW. What is that?" She asked in a discusted tone.
"Mom it's an owl pellet! In science class, before Hogwarts, the teacher told us that some owls eat their prey hole and regurgitate the fur and bones in a pellet. Scientists and schools pay around $100 for one of these so that they can disect them and study what animals they eat. If Tallow makes 1 or 2 of them a day we could sell them and make a decent living. We could get more than what well fare gives us." and with that Drago got a pail, and using a glove, put the pellet in it. They would collect every pellet Tallow gave them. Things really were getting better.

After breakfast Dragonia and Sarah started to head to the field of flowers when Dragonia noticed Drago go to the tree. "Same old boring Drago. You'd think him finding out about being a wizard and getting a girlfriend would make him more exciting." Sarah giggled at this. They continued on their way, to the end of the street to the left of Dragonia's house, over the creek and to the field of flowers. They lied down and stared at the sky together, holding hands.
As they lie there, in the flowers for a while, Dragonia felt something rub against her foot. She sat up and there sitting at her feet was a black cat with white spots on its back. "Hello there. What are you doing all the way out here?" She asked, picking it up. "How do you check if it's a male or female?" She asked Sarah.
Sarah:"Well, umm... Lift the tail? I don't know."
Dragonia lifted the tail and... dropped it. "I-It's a male. You must be one of those strays around here. I'll name you Tin-tin!" She said, patting him on his head and he meowed happily. "Lets take you home."
As they got home with their new friend, they noticed Drago with a pail, and him and their mom smiling. "What's up?"

Mom:"We are done with our money troubles dear."
"Yeah, I realized that Tallow has a gift." Drago said with a big smile, holding up the pail so that the two could see what they were talking about.

"Oh, right. I forgot about that! That's great!" Dragonia was glad to have a nerdy brother. His brains did come in handy sometimes. "Mom look at who we found." Dragonia said, holding Tin-tin out so that their mom could see him.
Lanette:" Aw. Who's this little guy?"
"He's a stray. Can we keep him, I've named him Tin-tin." Dragonia asked her mom.
Lanette:"You can keep him, only if you take care of him."
"I WILL! Thank you mom." She said cuddling the cat. He seemed to really like her.
Sarah:"Your family's weird."
"I know. Isn't it great." Dragonia said as the two of them went up to Dragonia's room with Tin-tin still in her arms.

Drago laughed at Sarah's comment, They truly were a weird family. Luck was finally smiling down on them. Now Dragonia had a cat. What's going to happen next?
Drago collected the other pellets that were gathering the days before, 3, and put the pail into the gardening shed. Afterwards he went back to his spot under the tree with his charms book and read some more.

After reading half of the book, Drago went to his room, he could hear Dragonia and Sarah making gootchy noises to the cat. Tallow turned around on the window ledge and hooed happily at him. Drago took the letter he'd wrote earlier for Al and added the recent events to it. He went over to Tallow, scratched him under the beak for a little bit and gave him the letter. Tallow snapped it up got the adress and took off for Al's.
