What a weird summer

[Thomas Dover]

"Dad tell me again why we are moving? I'm starting at the Salem Instatute this year. Won't that mess this up with my education?" Thomas asked one night during dinner. It was the middle of summer and Thomas had just gotten his school list for wizarding school a month ago. "I've already told you son. I'm being transfered to a new department and i'm sure it wont mess up your schooling we'll have to get you transfered to that school they have over there." Richerd said getting up from the table taking his empty plate with him. Rolling his eyes Thomas took a rib bone off his plate and held it under the table. "Are you sure dad? You said that the last time and that was just when I went to normal middle school."

None to sneaklly Chester moved under the table to get at the bone Thomas was holding banging into the legs and making the whole table move. "Oh come on Chester get out from under there. Thomas you know better then to feed him at the table." Said his mother Lily with a displeased expretion on her face as she rescued her glass of tea from spilling on to the table cloth. "Sorry mom. May I be excussed from the table i'm done with my plate?" Lily looked at Thomas's plate eyeing the barely touched veggi medly on the side of the plate and narrowing her eyes. "I guess so but next time you finish all your veggies before you leave the table got it kido?" Thomas nods as he gets up from the table while in the back of his mind he thought *You'll have better luck with teaching Chester how to slowdance then getting me to eat those mom.*

As Thomas and Chester leave the dinning room Richerd sits back down at the table shaking his head as he watches Thomas head out the back door into the backyard. "What are we going to do with that boy?" Asked Lily as she sat back down to finish the rest of her meal. "I have no clue dear. Just let him be for now just be thankful that the full moon isn't up yet. We have a few more days still to go." Lily nods as she jabs at a peice of califlower.

Out in the back yard the air felt cool and dry much more comfortable then it had been earlier that day. The summer day was slowly coming to a close as Thomas picked up one of Chesters favoret tennis balls and threw it watching as his oversized compainion happily chased after it. As the daylight slowly faded into twilight Thomas continued to throw the ball for Chester.

The backyard light suddenly was flicked on bathing the backyard in floresant light as the back door opened and Thomas's father head peeked around the doorframe. "You ready to come in Tom? You have to get some sleep if we are going to make it to that baseball game tomorrow." With a smile Thomas put down the ball and headed for the door. "Ok dad coming. Come on Chester time for bed." Walking back into the house Thomas headed for his room to change into his pjs with Chester following him all the way.

[Thomas Dover]

Thomas woke up the next morning with Chester staring at him from his bedside. "Morning Chester How are you this morning?" Chester simply barks jumps up onto the bed and licks Thomas in the face making Thomas shreck and giggle. "Ack that tickles Chester ok ok I'm awake you can get off me now." With what looks like a smile on his face Chester gets off of Thomas and walks out of the room waggling his tail. Throwing back his covers Thomas gets out of bed then moves to his dresser to pull out his clothes for the day a pair of socks some jean shorts and a clean green t-shirt. "Hey mooom? Whats for breakfast?" Thomas calls out from his room as he starts getting dressed. "Scrambled eggs, sasuge, bacon and pancakes. I have your plate ready so hurry up before it gets cold." His mother calls back over the sound of frying bacon. "Ok I'll be right there."

Pulling on his shorts Thomas grabs his tenni shoes and walks out of his room and heads for the kitchen the smell of bacon, eggs and pancakes fill the air. In the kitchen his father sat at the table drinking coffee and reading the daily paper more accuretly the sports section as Lily stood at the stove making breakfast. Setting his shoes next to the table Thomas sat down in his chair eyeing the plate of food infront of him. "Good morning sweetheart. how did you sleep? Do you want anything to drink?" his mother asks as she sets a fresh plate of bacon on the table. "Morning mom. Could I get some orange juice? I slept alright no weird dreams this time." he said picking up his fork and dug in starting with the pancakes. "Well thats good dear." she said opening up the fridge to grab the orange juice.

"So son you ready to see the Emeralds beat the Volcanos today?" asked his father looking up from his paper and grabbing a peice of bacon from the new batch and munches on it. "You know I am dad. Thanks mom." Thomas said taking the glass of OJ his mom handed him. Taking a drink Thomas smacks his lips together then goes back to devoring his breakfast. "So what time is the game?" asked Thomas around a mouth full of egg. His mother looks at him sturnly "Chew your food before you speak Tom. where are your manners?" Thomas swallows the food in his mouth and smiles "Sorry mom I forgot." Lily shakes her head as she turns back to the stove. "Well the tickets say noon so we should leave a little early if we want to find a parking spot." Said his father folding up the paper and setting it aside.

"Nice lets hope you don't get called into work before then dad." His father chuckles as he starts eating himself. "I hope so too son." Richerd said around a mouth full of bacon. "So thats where he's learning that. Richerd swallow first." said his mother finally sitting down with her own plate and cup of coffee. "Sorry dear my mistake." Shaking her head Lily tried to hide a smile spreading across her face as Chester noisely ate his breakfast.

[Professor Takumi Satoshi]

Takumi had received word that the next school year was going to be bringing a new werewolf into the school and that would require some delicacy, especially since he was still so young. The headmistress of the school contacted him in order to go to the boy's residence and find out what the means of controlling his condition were at the current time in order to have a ready supply before the boy made it to Hogwarts.

He rounded up Aito, who was not at all thrilled to be leaving his fiancee in the wee hours of the morning and voiced such constantly as he glared at him through blurry eyes.

"Listen, the kid will probably feel better knowing at least one name in his new house when he comes. Besides, you're good with kids and this will do you some good to extend your good nature to someone who will need it."

"The time...Takumi...the time. It's far too late. Can't I just go back to sleep with Xayden?"

"He lives in America. Suck it up. Let's go. Hold on."

Aito held to Takumi's arm tightly and the duo appirated with a loud pop from the Satoshi gardens in Kamakura, Japan, to the Dover's home in America. The amount of time it took made both Japanese males reel when the world stopped stretching and twisting around them. Neither had made an appiration quite so far before.

"I...am going to be sick."

"Me too...let's break that up on the way back."

Both tall males moved gracefully to the house's front door and knocked apprehensively on the wood.

"Since when do we make house calls?"

"Since he's like Andrei Winter. I will take him to see him in the beginning of the year since he is skulking about the forest and protecting Hogsmeade all day and night. It will be nice for him to meet another non-born lycan. Don't you think?"

Another werewolf in Ravenclaw?

Oh. Why was it always their house?

[Thomas Dover]

At the sound of the knock at the door Chester looks up from his food bowl and starts barking loudly and runs towards the door his claws clicking on the hard wood floor. "Now who could that be?" Richerd asked as he got up from the table to follow Chester to the door. Reaching the door Richerd pulls Chester back who was pawing at the door with his big paw and whinning. "Back! Back you beast let me open the door. Go back to your food." Standing between Chester and the door now Richerd opens the door a little trying to keep Chester from bounding out and pouncing on whoever was there.

"Hello?" Richerd asked looking at the two people standing on their front pourch. Richerd was a tall man about 6'7" with short black hair with slight whisps of grey along the ears. He wore a light blue tshirt and blue jeans that looked to have been washed many times. "Who is it dear?" Lily called from the kitchen also getting up from the table. Turning his head Richerd looked back into the house still straining to keep Chester from getting past him. "I don't know dear give me a minute." Turning his head back he looked at the two people. "Can I help you?"
