Danny woke from his slumber with a massive headache and a growling stomach as the events from yesterday came back to him. He didn't know his location or the time of day, so he decided to get familiar with his surroundings and find something to eat. He walked outside his cave and took off, soaring above the trees. He was surprised to see an old-fashioned castle with a lake shimmering next to it about a mile away, and headed toward it. He stared into his reflection on the water's surface. Danny was now a mainly black dragon with silver coloring his belly and outlining his massive wings, and he now had shining, ice blue eyes. The silver collar Walker put around his neck still hung there. He took in his new appearance and dove into the lake, devouring several mouthfuls of fish.

Now energized and with his stomach full, Danny started jogging towards a small hut he had noticed earlier on the edge of the forest. While approaching the front door, a large man with joyful, gleaming brown eyes and long, shaggy hair came out. The stranger stopped in his tracks as he took notice of the massive dragon in front of him, afraid to make any sudden movements that could scare the mighty beast. Danny on the other hand was overjoyed when he saw the man. Noticing the fear in his eyes however, Danny forced himself to calm down. He couldn't let himself scare this person off just because he was a little excited, no, he had to get this guy to trust him, but he didn't know how. Not having much time to think, Danny decided that the best thing he could do to show that he meant no harm was to bow. His actions baffled the man in front of him, but that didn't stop the man from taking a chance and touching the strange creature's head. "Yer not such a bad fella," the man said as a low purr emitted from Danny's throat as he looked up to the man with joyous eyes, still bowing before him.

"Good morning, Hagrid. Who is your guest?" a man startled Danny as he bolted straight up, making the man petting his head, who he now knew was named Hagrid, fall back from the sudden movement.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore. I don' know who or wha' he is to tell ye the truth. I've ne'er seen a beast like 'em before an' he just seemed to appear out o' nowhere. He's not a bad fella though," Hagrid stated, patting the side of the fantastic beast. Dumbledore contemplated about what to do about the dragon in front of him. If this indeed was a new species, then he would most definitely be taken in by the Ministry of Magic for testing. Dumbledore knew those tests would not be painless, and didn't want to see the beautiful creature standing before him to get hurt, but on the off chance that the creature was vicious, he didn't want to put his students in danger. A crazy idea popped into his head then, and smiling, he walked up to the dragon.

"Are you able to understand me?" the headmaster asked. "Stomp twice if you can." Danny was overwhelmed with happiness once again, and quickly stomped his left foot two times. This caused a gasp from Hagrid, and the small smile on the older man's face to grow bigger.

"Alright, I am willing to let you stay here, but under two conditions. The first one is that you are not allowed to harm any of the students going to school here. Stomp once for yes, twice for no."

Danny stomped once, not even having to think about it.

"Good," Dumbledore said. "The second condition will be that you help protect this school and the students in it, as well as helping with Hagrid's class when necessary. Do you agree to this?"

Danny Stomped before Dumbledore was even able to finish his last sentence. He was ecstatic, not to mention grateful. Danny remembered how he bowed to Hagrid earlier, and decided to do the same for Dumbledore, deciding to do it whenever he wanted to show that he trusted and respected someone. Dumbledore chuckled softly, and rubbed the dragon's head.

"Do you have a name by any chance, and if so, is there a way you can tell us?" Dumbledore asked.

Danny thought for a moment, and started drawing in the dirt using one of his claws. In the dirt, he wrote one word.

Danny

"Alright then, welcome to Hogwarts, Danny," Dumbledore said, and after explaining that the students who attend this school will be arriving the next day, the headmaster left.

"Well then, looks like yer gonna be stayin' with me fer a while." Hagrid said, watching Dumbledore walk off. He then looked back at Danny. "It's still early mornin' and I've got work to be doin'. I could use yer help, so by any chance do yer wanna join me?" Danny quickly nodded his head, not wanting to just do nothing, and quickly started helping his new friend with his work.

While this happened, Dumbledore was walking towards his office, thinking about the new dragon. It somehow reminded his of harry. You could see massive amounts of joy in the eyes of both the boy and the dragon, but you could also see sorrow and pain behind that if you looked very carefully. The old headmaster had no clue as to what was to come, but there was one thing he knew for certain.

'This is going to be an interesting year' he thought to himself as he finished the trip to his office, and closed the door behind him.
