Charlie Weasley the dragon keeper

Chaper one:

"Hello, hello right ok, so the quill is working,"

"Hi im Charlie Weasley, the second oldest Weasley and the one that runs around in danger on a daily basis, but hey that's part of the rush of the job"

"So why are you here? well I think I need to introduce my wife and we can go back to the beginning where it started isn't that right love"

"Yes hi im Hermione, now of course your reading this and can't see what we are doing as the quill is writing everything we say (something like and quick quotes quill the bug skeeter used) this is so you can immerse yourself in our lives, as we go through up and downs as well as the squishy bits, so take it away husband im going to get a cup of tea and read, when you have filled our readers in, come and get me and I can continue the story from there."

"So now my librarian (Hermione of course) has gone I can get down to the nitty gritty

As im, sure your aware I'm a dragon keeper or tamer but I like keeper best, a tamer reminds me of the man at a muggle circus taming lions the amazing and majestic creatures but I like dragons more.

Id been at the reserve in Romania for I think 10 years when Mione was employed of course I knew her as she was my kid brothers bushy haired know it all friend,

I didn't give her much though so our story starts the same week Hermione Granger joined the Romanian dragon reserve as an assistant director and a war hero, she was given the job of her choice and she came here to do some good, Mark ( Director in charge) wasn't great at paperwork and had asked Kingsley for help when he was here a few weeks ago visiting and he sent his best who happened to be Hermione.

so lets get on with the story shall we.

It was hot a hell Nora the long horn wasn't having any of it she wanted to be left alone but seeing as she was injured we had no choice we had to move in on her

"Tim, James, mac on my count" I shouted to the three men, who other than my brother Bill I trusted my life with.

"Come on Nora baby you know we are not trying to hurt you" she was normally an even-tempered dragon she loved to be sweet-talked but not today as I moved closer the three men shadowed my movements, I looked to my left and before I know what was happening was being thrown in the air, id missed Nora's tail swinging round in defence, I was hit in the side and back, I heard a faint screamed before I felt like I was floating, I was waiting for the ground impact but it never came before I couldn't think anymore the blackness took over, all my senses were gone, I thought for a moment I was dead, but I wasn't to be that lucky.

The next day I woke in the medical ward I knew where I was the second my sences came back to me I could smell the steriail cleaning potion and I could hear snoring i knew before i opened my eyes it was coming from my three best mates they refuse to leave my side I knew the moment I open my eyes I would find the three of them with there heads at odd angels as they try to rest ive been injured a few to many times, we had all be in life and death situtaions in this job but like all good keepers ive always dodged an unforgivable curse as we wizards say, you muggles would say I dodged a bullet (a metal think you muggles use as a weapon from what mione has told me), I knew I was alive apart from the snoring and smell it was the emence pain in my left-handside that told me I was alive, I slowly opened my eyes and sure enough the three stuges (muggle comedians from years ago) where sleeping there heads bobbing slightly as they snored, James had his head on the footboard of the bed, Mac had his head dangling on his neck and Tim the smart one was in the corner of the room his head wedged back on the wall, I smirked as I eyed my three shadows, id be lost without these and im sure they would say the same,

I was feeling mischivious, I didnt want to wake them i wanted Ang the healer to do it she got a kick out of it im sure, I lifted my wand off the bed side table and send my patronas to her office she came out her green work coat and matching trouser, a sight to seen on a bad morning, the colour always cheered me up, she smiled brefly before just crossing the threst hold she mimed for me to cover my ears but id been on the recieveing end of this wake Up call I knew what was coming.

"DRAGON ESCAPED ALL HANDS ON DECK" her voice magically magnified echoed off the walls even with my ears covered I winced at the volume.

You have never seen three fully grown men wake up to grab their wands and look round like startled nifflers in a jewellery shop, I smirked as they registered Ang laughing in the doorway I couldn't help it I barked out a laugh.

They all looked at me at once all shouting my name and patting my shoulder in relief. i tryed not to show it bit this just caused me more pain.

ok boys out I need to do my job, let me check mr braveheart out and you can come back after he has eaten,

they started to protest

"NOW OUT"

She stomped her foot on the ground that meant business in healer terms.

"So Charlie how are u feeling?" she asked pulling thin glovers over her hands

"Im sore Ang I've never had pain like it" My brows creased in pain as she lifted my left arm up.

Well Weasley of course your sore you had three broken ribs, a shattered femur, a broken wrist and some internal bleeding not to mention the gaping wound on your back and I'm sure it would of been more had it not been for ms Granger spelling you to the ground making you float like a feather, I happen to be coming back from the cage when I saw you flying through the air she beat us all including the three idiots she pointed her thumb over her should indicating the door the three men had just gone through. shes fast that one and she stayed with you until id done all I could.

let me explain the cage its not as bad as it sounds the cage is where we let the little ones out its more of an enclosure but it got nickname the cage we have a large gates section with fencing round to stop the little nibblers getting eaten someone called it the cage and it stuck.

so back to my hospitalisation.

As you know I couldn't heal the wound on your back while you were out cold I needed you awake to make sure it doesn't cause more injuries

Ye I know ang I've been here before remember

Oh, Charlie Weasley, I remember every injury I have had in this medical room and you young man are always at the top of my list for one thing or another if your mother knew! she laughed to her self as she turned me on my side so she could start the painful and growling process of health the external wounds.

After only a few minutes of pain id never felt before Ang stopped

I know its hard Charlie but I need to continue I can give you a mild pain relief but it won't do much until your all healed.

It's ok Ang just get it over with the sooner it's done the better I said through gritted teeth as she went back to muttering spells and swishing her wand, I could see it from time to time out of the cornor of my eye but my mind was on breathing and not crying out in agony.

45 excruciating minutes later I was clinging to consciousness the pain was running through every single nerve ending in my body is Ang did the last spell that healed my back completely and covered it in a clear bandage so she could watch it for a couple of days

I'm sorry Charlie I know that hurt but at least I now know there are no more internal injuries and you should heal with the bandage blocking out any germs or air for the next few days It will be faster then it would have been had I done it last night not know what state you where really in.

It's ok Ang it was painful but it had to be done it's my own fault for not paying attention to how long am I kept captive for this time?

Depending on the state of your injuries tonight you may be here for a couple of days but if the miracle bandage works like they say it does at St Mungo's then you might get out of here tomorrow but it all depends on if you're willing to do as you're told she gave me a stone look which doesn't really work on me works on some of the other keepers but never me.

I will do my best I gave her my cheeky smile

she just rolled her eyes you better do more than your best Charlie Weasley or I will go one above the rest and I'll fire call your mother!

my face blanched at this knowing that if I pushed my luck she would actually do that.

You know that's below the belt I shouted after her she had it back to her office

Yeah well you know me, Charlie, I always play Dirty she smirked over her shoulder and close the office door.

Thats it Chapter one complete what did you think was it ok?
