Harry stood still, watching Severus carefully. In the place where the man had stood there was now a dragon. Not one like those that had been at the Tri-wizarding tournament. No, Severus was an Elder Wyrm.

His long wings were slightly opened, his neck arched and his head was close to Harry's. They were covered in black scales. The eyes, ones that were so full of knowledge, were the same dark tunnels. That was how Harry knew he was faced with an Elder.

Harry grinned, "Nice animagus form."

Being careful, he clipped the talon Severus held out to him.
