Chapter Two; Dragon Land
Just a quick note; Since I forgot about it before I want to give a couple of HUGE thank you's to miss JK Rowling for inventing this wonderful world that I'm able to play in, and I give an extra special credit to the Backstreet Boys for being my inspiration for The Dragons! BSB forever333
Later on that night after the party Ginny went back up to her bedroom and looked up at the picture of a beautiful light brown haired boy with the most beautiful baby blue eyes on the planet. That is at least according to Ginny. He also had his hair combed neatly back and soft peachy skin as he smiled and folded his arms proudly.
"Hey Ginny," Harry began as he stepped into the room behind her. "I thought you might be up here." He said before he turned to look over at the poster in front of them. "Is that him?" he asked her as he read the scribbled autograph behind the picture.
"Yeah, Fred gave it to me after he came back from a concert with Angelina. George was pretty pissed off after that even though that was before they were dating." She explained.
"Well I can't really say that I blame you for liking him." Harry began. "After all I imagine most of the girls would find him pretty dreamy." He told her.
"Yeah but nobody will ever compare to you." She told him. "In fact The Dragons are huge fans of yours. Especially Rickie. He talks about you all the time because he's an orphan too and he feels like he can relate to you."
"Well you seem to know an awful lot about them." Harry said.
"I would give anything in the whole wide wizarding world to meet them." She said with a dreamy little sigh as she gaze back up at the picture of Aaron Parker who was now grinning back at her and winking.
"Well who knows? Maybe you will. After all, dreams can come true." He told her as he smiled warmly and took her hands inside his. "We should probably go to bed now. After all, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." She began before she closed her eyes and kissed him tenderly. "Goodnight Harry, I love you." She told him.
"I love you too." He told her as she suddenly gave a gasp. "What is it?" he asked her.
"That's the first time that you said it back." She said.
"Yeah I know, but it's not like it's a big secret or anything. I mean after all the snogging we did last year you should have figured it out." He told her when suddenly Ron stepped into the doorframe.
"Hey Ginny, can I talk to you for a second?" he questioned as she folded her arms and glared at him.
"Fine!" she snapped as she rolled her eyes away from him.
"Don't be like that I just wanted to tell you that I was sorry." He told her crossly but she just simply continued to ignore him. "Look, I think I've figured out a way to make it up to you." He said.
"Oh really? What?" she asked him reluctantly while placing her hands on her hips.
"Take a look at today's edition of The Daily Prophet." He began with a grin before handing it over to her. Harry peered down over her shoulder and read the headline while Ginny's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Dragons to Appear Tomorrow at Annual Dragon Land Festival!
Then there was a picture underneath the headline of Aaron Parker featured with three other boys. The next boy on his right side had neatly combed back blonde hair instead of brown and bluish-green eyes with tanned skin.
To the right of him was another boy with darker skin and short black hair and dark brown eyes that had his arm wrapped around him.
Then finally standing next to him was the tallest boy with short blonde hair blue-grey eyes and a rather long nose. All four of them were smiling and waving at the crowd of people while photographers rapidly took their pictures.

Harry read on the bottom before he started reading the article to himself.
Aaron Parker, leader of the famous wizarding singing group The Dragons will be performing all of his hit songs with the rest of the boys at tomorrow's start of summer festival. "I love the fans," Parker begins. "because if it wasn't for them then we wouldn't have a job." The boys will be doing a meet and greet after the concert. "I hope that Harry Potter comes to see us tomorrow." One of his bandmates Rickie Lake begins. "After all I'm his biggest fan and I've always wanted to meet him."
Lake also explains that besides his religious faith in God, he calls Harry his biggest inspiration. "I am very big on my faith, and I thank God for giving us this wonderful gift to share with the wizarding word, and hopefully, someday, the muggle world as well." The concert will be tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock until seven o'clock with a short intermission in-between. Don't miss it! I know my kids and I will definitely be there!

"We have to go!" Ginny exclaimed eagerly and excitedly as Harry laughed. He felt honored that he was such an inspiration to one of the boys even though he had never even seen him before.
"Well that's up to Harry, Hermione and I are alright with it. In fact don't tell her that I told you this but she's really looking forward to it because she likes them just as much as you do. The only difference is that she doesn't want to admit it." He explained.
"I want to go. I'm interested in meeting them." Harry said.
"Well alright then, I guess that settles it. We'll go a bit later to the festival than we originally planned and then we'll go see the concert." Ron said as Ginny let out an excited screech. "Uh you should probably go to bed now before you shatter all the windows." He told her before all three of them said goodnight to each other and went to bed.
The next morning at breakfast Hermione and Ginny talked about the concert and all of the other amazing rides and attractions that there were to do at Dragon Land. "My favorite ride of all time has to be the Fireball." Ginny said.
"What's the Fireball?" Harry asked her.
"It's the biggest rollercoaster in the park," she began.
"Yeah it takes you a million feet in the air and then you're swallowed inside the stomach of a real dragon before he spits you back out and you're forced to finish the ride completely backwards." Ron finished explaining.
"Sounds great!" Harry exclaimed.
"Sounds completely barbaric if you ask me." Hermione said.
"You think a simple game of wizard chess is barbaric." Ron pointed out.
"It's better than being swallowed by a dragon." Hermione began. "Besides, how would you know whether or not it would spit you back out?" she questioned as Ron rolled his eyes at her.
"Because of the dragon trainers and healers standing around at the bottom of the coaster. Duh!" he exclaimed as if that was the most stupidest question he had ever heard in the world and the answer couldn't be any more obvious.
Later on that day, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny made sure that their pockets were stuffed with money before they hiked down to the portkey which led them to the exact same place where the Qudditch World Cup was held every four years.
They spent the rest of the afternoon playing games, (like the traditional pie eating contest, or the wizard gum blowing contest in which Ginny won) watching muggle magic shows, a Dragon themed karaoke contest, (Ginny also won that one) and riding on rides like Mermaid Lagoon, the hayride through Sleepy Hallow (which the trees actually slept and snored and you were lucky if you didn't run into a werewolf) and of course the Fireball before they stopped for lunch.
"I have to admit it, that dragon ride was pretty cool." Harry said as they walked to the end of the line of the food line.
"See," Ginny began. "I told you that it would be totally awesome." She said when suddenly she accidentally tripped over her shoelaces and tumbled onto the ground.
"Are you alright miss?" she heard someone asked her and she slowly raised her head and immediately froze at the boy who was bending down to her and offering her his hand. The second she looked up into those baby blue eyes of his and into his sparkling dazzling smile she felt her eyeballs roll back inside her head before falling back over onto the ground.
