Of all the beautiful twinkling patterns in the sky, none have enraptured me more than the constellation of the dragon, Draco. There are a few reasons why I've chosen this constellation. One, when I was young my family visited Romania because of a family get together on my father's side (who were all muggles, and as far as I know there weren't any squibs in the bloodline either), my mom(who was a pure-blooded witch) took me and my sister to this eerie and mystical place that she told me "was home to the most majestic beast there is", my young mind couldn't process it at first but then I saw what she meant, out in the open calmly grazing in the open field was a huge creature that exploded grace and power.
