Second chapter already... couldn't help it, I had to write more! This was fun! so here's Charlie... and by the way, this is my favourite dragon species!

Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling owns all!

Charlie grabbed a satsuma and headed for the big stone houses where they kept the dragons who needed care around the clock.

He pushed open the door and went straight for the room where they were keeping the Antipodean Opaleye. It was his favourite dragon right now. It had gotten very sick in it's native home, New Zealand, and had been sent up to their reserve to be sorted out. She was still only able to breathe a few sparks of fire.

He dumped the satsuma peel on her dung heap and headed towards her.

"Hey girl, time to go outside." He crooned. The dragon looked at him a little warily and backed into the corner.

"Come on, you need a quick fly and a bit of a run or you'll never recover." Charlie often talked as if the dragons could understand him. It also helped them build up trust with him and learn the sound of his voice.

She didn't budge. Charlie walked a step closer.

"Come on, one little fly, that's all I'm asking. We even have a nice sheep to finish off with afterwards." He knew that was her favourite food. She was even starting to recognise the word. Even that didn't make her move now though. He studied her, wondering what her problem was.

Suddenly he noticed her eyes were fixed on the Satsuma in his hand.

"What's the problem?" He asked, holding it up "It's just a satsuma."

She slowly inched closer and reached out her curly pink tongue. Charlie held his palm flat and she snatched a little segment and swallowed it. She looked up at him expectantly.

"Do you like that?' he asked. He tossed her another piece and she caught it. Now she looked very excited. With a broad smile he threw the satsuma out of the open exit.

She bounded after it and Charlie followed. As she munched it in the open air he reattached her flight rope and cut off the indoor one. Then he shut the entrance and laughed at her puzzled face. She'd have to take her exercise now.

As she finally swooped as high as she could go Charlie called to his friends.

"Hey guys, you'll never guess what! Dragons like satsumas!"
