Y/n pov:

It currently was the end of the third week of December and both lily and Hermione are next to looking at my cheerful and awestruck face at the sight of the snow again.

Hermione: so you really have never seen snow before?

I nod as I close my eyes to remember my first time seeing snow.

Lily: how have you never seen snow before? Does it never snow where you live?

I turn around to face lily and Hermione before explaining.

Y/n: it's because of the charms and protection spells keep the land surrounding my home safe and doesn't let any snow in. Also because there is constantly burning forest around the house a little bit with non burnt forest behind the house. Whenever my mother goes on missions during the winter and returns home the snow melts when she is within the boundaries of our land.

Hermione and lily look at each other and they seem to be thinking the same thing as they both grab one of my hands as Hermione has my metal hand and lily has my other hand and drag me to the doors to go outside before stopping remembering something.

Hermione and lily: wait here while we go get our winter coats. We'll be back in a few minutes.

I watch them run off as I lean against a wall to wait for them as I play with a ball of fire I took from a nearby torch. After a few minutes they return in fuzzy muggle jackets designed for winter and watch me playing with the fire.

Hermione: woah that's really cool. How did you learn to do that?

Y/n: I've always been able to play with fire since I was I think three. My mother told me the death bringers are masters of fire since it brings death and destruction but it can also be beautiful when tamed for there are many colors of fire. It has a beauty to it but it is also destructive when aloud to be free.

Hermione: wow that's a lot take in y/n.

Lily nods in agreement.

Lily: I read about that when we were in diagon alley. The book said that death bringers are masters of fire or they are also known as elementalists of fire.

Hermione: let's go outside now and show y/n the fun things that can be done in the snow lily. Oh and lily can I read that book when we get inside after we finish showing y/n the fun of winter.

Lily nods as they drag me out into the snow. I look around as any snow that lands on me is turned to steam from how the death bringers have a burning fire within their blood to keep them in control of fire. I grab some snow on the ground and it melts slowly like when picked up with bare hands and not instantly melted.

Y/n: want to see another form that I have?

Lily and Hermione nod as I become engulfed in fire and turn into a metal dragon sitting on the snow.

They both look amazed to see a full grown dragon before them. I lower down so they can touch the head and neck of the dragon.

Hermione: I thought it would be cold metal but it's actually warmer than I thought, it's like having your hand in front of a fire in a fireplace just like when I was holding y/n's metal hand.

Lily giggles at Hermione's response. Hermione has a small blush when she mentions how my metal hand felt to her. I lift my head up before letting out a puff of fire that formed words made of fire saying want a ride?. They nod as I lower down again and have them climb my tail before lifting up and opening my wings that have the length of two football fields from tip to tip.

Hermione: not too high please I don't like heights.

I turn my head to look at her before nodding to let her know I'll not go as high as I normally do when I usually fly as a dragon. I flap my wings before flying a few feet above the snow flapping the wings harder to get to a gliding speed and we glide over the lake and grounds.

After flying around and building two huge snowmen with the help of my dragon form. We step back and see the size of our snowmen. I cast a spell to hide any trace of my dragon form in the snow. As Hagrid walks up to us to see what we are doing and all four of us notice that they both are the height of two Hagrids standing on top of each other. I notice the girls are shivering a little bit so I put an arm around their shoulders and my body heat warms them up as we go inside for a hot chocolate in the great hall. On the day that the students going were going home for Christmas and I'm sitting in the bone throne bored just watching the snow fall from the ceiling when Hermione walked in putting her luggage next to the doors.

Hermione pov:

I walked in the great hall to say bye to lily, y/n, and the two idiots since I'm going home today. I look around and noticed the idiots playing chess with lily watching. I walk over to them just as Ron's queen smashes Harry's knight.

Hermione: that's totally barbaric!

Ron: that's how wizard chess is. I see you've packed.

Hermione: I see you haven't.

Ron: change of plans since my parents are visiting my brother Charlie in Romania.

I look at y/n hoping that he isn't listening to or watching our conversation.

Hermione: keep checking the library you three for flammel. I'm going to say bye to y/n.

Ron: while you are saying bye to him you can ask him about flammel.

Lily: that is a bad idea. Remember after the match how Hagrid said that whatever fluffy is guarding is between Dumbledore, the death bringer, and Nicholas flammel.

I nod remembering while the two idiots nod as they say no.

Lily: if we ask y/n about flammel he could tell Dumbledore and it could get Hagrid in trouble.

Hermione: she's right and have a happy Christmas.

I look at the professor's table and see that y/n is looking at the ceiling so I look up. I smile and giggle a little bit at how he is enjoying watching the snow fall before approaching him. I tap him on his shoulder and he shakes his head before looking towards me then towards the doors seeing my luggage near the doors then back at me with an eyebrow raised.

Y/n: heading home for Christmas mione?

I nod at y/n.

Hermione: yep happy Christmas y/n.

We share a quick hug then I get on the train and write in my otter diary about what has happened so far before today.

Y/n pov:

It was now Christmas day as I open gifts from lily and Hermione. I got a few muggle books about a muggle named Sherlock Holmes from Hermione and a really well drawn picture of me and Hermione sitting together studying from lily. I finish wrapping my gift for Hermione and have Lazerbeak deliver it to her hoping that she will like it as I exit my common room grabbing Lily's present and look for lily since she was allowed to stay with Harry on Christmas eve.

Hermione pov:

I wake up on Christmas day and open presents with my parents and start to open Lily's present she sent me when I hear the sound of flapping and big fans blowing along with my mother screaming in fear. I look up and see y/n's metal bird named Lazerbeak is outside the window of the living room. I open the window and he flies in landing on the couch and did something I wasn't expecting it to do when it opened its mouth.

Lazerbeak: hello Hermione, y/n sent me to give you this present. From the look on your face I take it you expected me to sound like those fleshy flying animals. I'll record a message for you to give to y/n.

I nod slowly as it gives me a little wrapped box before watching my reaction. I open the present to see a tiny box that I open to find a stone ring with the head of y/n's horned dog form on it before red hologram projects from the box lid to appear in front of me showing y/n.

Y/n: this ring will summon any terror dogs around you to you when you are in danger when you tap the top of the head on the ring. When you put it on wear it on your pointer finger and it is made of a stone that will grow and shrink to fit your finger. When you put it on it will prick your finger to recognize that is meant for you and only you so no one can steal it.

When the hologram fades away I put it on as it has the fangs prick my finger then the eyes glowed red as the two drops of blood were absorbed into the ring. I look at the ring in awe for a while before nodding at Lazerbeak to tell it I'm ready to send y/n a message. After giving it my message I make a message for lily after seeing the picture she drew of me and y/n. After Lazerbeak leaves I smile at how y/n wants to keep his friends safe.

Y/n pov:

It was now Christmas night and I was patrolling near the library when I heard a scream or yell in the library so I shifted into my death angel form after opening the doors. I open one of the armor pieces covering my ears and listen for anyone moving around when I hear someone say oh crap and what is that li-.

Lily pov:

As me and Harry are in the restricted section of the library I hear a yell that scared me making me scream and put the cloak on dropping the lantern Harry brought. We head towards the gate blocking off the restricted section when we see y/n shift into the creature that I saw when we first met and I remembered reading that that form has excellent hearing.

Lily: oh crap.

Harry: what is that li-?

I cover Harry's mouth to shut him up as the armor around the head opens as y/n looks around when I point my wand at him and mutter quietly lumos which lights up y/n.

We carefully sneak around and get away from the library as quickly and quietly as possible. We get a few classrooms away from the library and y/n before we come across snape and quirrell arguing or snape interrogating quirrell before we enter a classroom with a mirror. We approach the mirror in curiosity and the next moment we see our parents in mirror, our mom has her hand on Harry's shoulder and our dad has his hand on my shoulder. Harry runs off to get Ron as I stay behind looking at the mirror and see someone stepping forward with white blonde slickedback hair starting to come into view but fades away when Harry returns with Ron. I got out a piece of parchment and the pen Hermione gifted me for Christmas with other muggle writing items so that it is easier to do my work. I wrote down the first word erised and held it towards the mirror and notice that it is desire backwards so I write down the whole sentence and see it read I show not your face but your hearts desire. We get under the cloak and hear someone walking towards us and we notice y/n walk toward our direction with his metal hand shaped like a cannon. We stay still as he walks past us before stopping a few feet from us and looking right at us.

Lily: guys let's go before he gets to us.

We quietly start walking away as y/n shifts the cannon back into his metal hand and grabbing at the air in front of him and looking around before continuing down the corridor. We get back to the gryffindor common room and I let out a sigh of relief.

Lily: that was close. I'm going to bed now

Harry: I'm going to go see the mirror again.

Ron: I'm not going Harry.

For the rest of Christmas break me and y/n played in the snow, Harry went to the mirror every night until Dumbledore caught him, Ron played wizard chess against Harry, and I watched y/n make shapes out of fire and I understood what he meant by fire has a beauty to it even though it is dangerous when not controlled like how y/n controls it.
