Charlie Weasley was not a happy wizard at the moment. No sire. Not only had his arm almost been taken off by an angry mother white spike dragon, that had lost her hatchlings to dragon poachers but the order mark on his back had burned him so severely that it had distracted him while dealing with Delilah, a black and green dragon who was refusing to mate with another other male other than her lost mate.
On top of that his girlfriend decided to leave him for some other wizard because his job was "too boring" for her.
'Ha if my job was boring then I'm a vampire.'
The irate weasley snorted as he thought to himself. Working with dragons was anything but boring. His mother would say it was dangerous, and sometimes he would agree with her, but the creatures fascinated him ever since his father had taken him to the dragon reserve in Romania as an order mission to see if the dragons would side with them and not Lord Voldemort.
*flash back*
13 year old Charlie weasley was reading his potions book volume 4 as to be well versed in the tombs as not to disappoint professor Severus snape who although he made it seem he hated the young red headed wizard, actually found that Charlie had a brain and was not a dunderhead as snape liked to call the others in his class.
Author weasley looked over his shoulder at his second eldest son and smirked when he saw him almost drop the book he was absorbing when the roars of many dragons nearby came to his ears.
As they came to a clearing author shook the hands of the robed man waiting for them.
The tall man had black neck length shaggy hair and blue eyes wore black robes with a pair of pants that disappeared into his boots and at his belt he had 3 wands, 10 potions and a pair of gloves.
"Ah, author long time no see, last time I saw you was graduation from Hogwarts."
Author smiled as he shook the hand of his friend.
"Hi yeah Gilbertson, knew you would be here, you were always talking about dragons this and dragons that, it's a Wonder you were never turned into a dragon by the professors."
Jason Gilbertson smirked "I think they would have seen that as a pleasure not a punishment."
Charlie had closed his book now and was listening to the sounds of the many roars of the dragons.
Turning to Jason he asked ", May I see some of the dragons sir?"
Author looked at his son and smiled to see his eyes glaze over as the roars continued.
Jason looked at the young man before him and smirked "looks like we have another dragon tamer on our hands author."
Author smirked "I figured he'd like them."
Following gilbertson through the camp Charlie was shocked at the many colors or scales on the majestic creatures. Walking to the edge of the arenas before him Charlie was shocked to find 6 men trying to calm the large olive green scaled dragon with black spikes on its neck.
Jason sighed "That's Mariana, she lost her babies and we can't seem to calm her down. That happened 4 years ago and still nothing works."
Charlie went to move away when with a slash of Mariana's tale the earth where Charlie was standing crumbled underneath him and he fell into the arena causing everyone to gasp.
"CHARLIE!"
Author was frightened. But suddenly the roars of Mariana secede and everyone looked down to find Charlie to be on the back of Mariana safe and sound and Mariana was on the ground. Charlie was still too frightened to move till he felt her teeth and picked him up then placed him in her nest right by her stomach and she tucked her head by him breathing warm breath on him to help ease his stiff body from fright. The dragon tamers were in shock.
In all the 4 years they had had Mariana, she had never done what she had just done. Not only save a human child but put it in her empty nest like they had hoped she would the other hatchlings they had tried to get her to take care of.
Looking up still slightly shaking Charlie ran his hand over her snout and laughed when her tong ran out and flicked his fingers. He felt rather felt than heard the rumble from her throat and smirked as he thought to himself 'she's laughing.'
Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw the dragon tamers moving in to try and get him away from her. Standing up Charlie stroke Mariana's neck and sighed "I'll come visit you every day I can ok Mariana, but I have my father up there scared out of his wits about me. Think you can give me a lift?"
Charlie was shocked when she moved her head to lie on the ground and looked at him nodded to get on. Getting atop her back Charlie held on as she slowly flew to the top where author and the other dragon tamers watched in shock. When Charlie got off her neck he strokes her head once more and smiles. "I'll be back I promise and when I finish schooling you and I will be together always."
With a final lick of her tong she flew back into her nest and curled around her body and goes to sleep.
Author pulled his son into his arms and looked back at him. "How did you get her to calm down?"
"She's a mother who's lost her children I just sent an image of me being her human hatchling that's all just to calm her down. Told her though, I have human parents but that she could be my dragon mother."
Jason Gilbertson was in shock, not only had an emotional wreck dragon just been calmed down for the first time in 4 years, but by a 13 year old boy at that and to top it all off, said dragon had just adopted the boy as her hatchling.
"Author how about young Charlie here becomes a dragon tamer apprentice, he can finish his school work from here and when the two years are over he can graduate early and already have a job here at the reserve, because I have a feeling that if he calls for her, Mariana will fly to him to help her hatchling if the needs arises."
Author looked at his son who was back at the edge careful not to fall inside again and found him to be stroking Mariana's head talking with her.
"I'll talk to molly and if she agrees you can expect him on Monday morning ready to start."
Jason smiled at his friend and that was the start of Charlie Weasley's career as a dragon tamer.
Charlie smirked when he walked towards his house on the reserve. It was a nice two story 5 bedroom cream color with Victorian structures and on the front doorhe smirked when he found a pair of dragons intertwined on the door with the initials of CRW standing for his name: Charles Romagus Weasley painted on the door that he had done himself.
The dragons were one was a purple dragon with blue spikes while the other one was olive green with black spikes for Mariana who unknown to him at the time had done a dragon bond so, as long as he lived she would too. Charlie had found out that his animagus form was a purple dragon with blue spikes and he was able to fly with his dragon mother who had taught him everything from flying to hunting if the need arise.
Charlie was just about to go inside when Jason came running over with his new apprentice.
"Charlie good glad I caught you when I did, look a friend of yours is at the gates says its urgent business, something about the phoenix needing to speak with the dragon. Well anyways I told her to wait at the gates."
"What did she look like Jason?"
"Slim build, gorgeous figure, bit taller than my wife, quite curvy, and had the biggest set of brown eyes I had ever seen..."
When he looked up he found Charlie to have taken to the sky in his animagus form.
Looking at his apprentice he smirked
"Guess he knows her then."
Markus smirked
"I'll say more than knows her sir."
The two then walked off laughing.
