"Chapter 3: Rafael." McGonagall read.

"Whose Rafael? The boy?" A muggleborn asked.

"Nope. Not telling." Harry smiling.

Nico and Pedro smiled. Harry had been a bit stressed since he came home from his third year and it was good to see him opening up.

"Well whaddya know? Good work Fernando." The leader smuggler said in approval as Harry saw the Brazillian boy present the cage to the leader. "What did I tell you about this one boys?"

"And enter Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest." Harry smirked.

"That you where going to pay him half as much as you said?" A chubby one said stupidly.

"Dumbest?" Ron asked.

"Dumbest." Harry nodded.

"No you IDIOT." Marcel snapped. "That he reminds me of myself at that age. Smart. Resourceful. Here you go kid." And he gave the boy two American twenty dollar bills.

"Eighty american dollars just to steal two birds?" Hermione asked. Remembering that Dumbest said Marcel was going to pay him half.

"Not just any birds Hermione. Mum and Dad where the last two of their species." Harry said.

"Dad?"

"Oops."

"This is only haldf of what you promised me." Fernando protested.

"Eh, shut up kid." He unclothed the cage and saw that the two birds inside where apparently dead.

"If only that worked with Filch." George groaned glaring at the arsehole caretaker. Who pulled Mrs. Norris closer to him as she eyed Pedro and Nico hungrily.

Harry smirked from next to the window where a fan was whirling. He knew what his mom was planning.

"I said I wanted these birds alive." Marcel said angrily. "Tell me Fernando does THIS look alive to you?" Then Jewel opened her eyes and chomped down on his thumb with her beak. He cried out in pain and let her go. Jewel flew around and made the two stooges run into each other before flying toward her son's face in the window.

"Go go go!" Some muggleborn students chanted.

But suddenly, she was snatched from the air by a menacing looking cockatoo.

"NO!"

"Hello pretty birdie. What's the matter?" the bird asked in a menacing tone. "Cockatoo got your throat?"

"Nigel is the cockatoo from the last chapter." Harry explained to confused looks.

"Nigel." Marcel said and Nigel looked down to his owner. "Alive." He reminded the bird.

"To be continued." He sneered to Jewel and he flew with her in his talons and hurled her back into the cage with Blu.

"Strong bird." Fred said with a raised eyebrow.

"The last Blue Macaws on earth." Marcel smirked as he hooked a chain on both their ankles chaining them together. "These are worth fortune."

"That wasn't a bad plan actually." Harry said. "Keep them chained so they couldn't escape."

Harry saw his mother glare at him and knew to split. Sadly, he took off into the night. Back to their forest home.

Jewel and Blu somehow managed to escape and where now in the jungles of Rio.

"Ah, what was that?"

"A stick." Jewel said.

"And that?"

"Its just a rock." Jewel said irritably.

Blu shuddered. "Is that a spider on my back?"

"Will you give it a rest? Its just a leaf, turn around." Blu did so. But indeed, a Walking Spider was crawling on his back. Jewel gasped and smacked it away.

Ron shuddered.

"Good." Hermione said with a relived "Phwew."

"Why?" A Slytherin asked.

"Walking Spiders are extremely poisonous and can be fatal to smaller animals like birds." Hermione explained.

"Leaf." She chuckled dryly. "Told ya."

Blu started complaining again. "I hate to break it to you, but this is where our kind NATURALLY lives." Jewel snapped.

"Hey, you don't need to tell me about nature. I watch Animal Planet." "

"Animal Planet?" A First Year Slytherin tasked.

"Muggle Television channel that airs shows about animals twenty four hours a day." Harry explained.

"I know all about the food chain." Blu said and gasped as a frog snatched a fly out of the air and a snake attacked the frog. "See? Out here I'm just an appetizer. Nothing more than a feathery spring roll."

"That is why our kind stays in the trees and not on the ground." Jewel shot back. "After you." She motioned to the tree next to them.

"No no no no.." Blu said. "I'd feel much more comfortable in something...man made. Hey!" He spotted an abandoned radio tower. "How about up there?"

"I can't believe I have to drag your clumsy butt all the way up there." Jewel said as they arrived at the radio tower.

"Drag me?" Blu scoffed. "Watch and learn." And he started climbing up the tower, dragging Jewel with him.

"Whose dragging whose butt now?" George asked with a smirk.

"See?" Blu asked as he helped Jewel up. "Who needs flying?"

"Vat is flying vithout a broomstick like?" Krum asked Harry.

"Mum will probably explain."

"Birds." Jewel said. "Birds need flying. Flying is...its freedom. Its not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?" She asked the flightless Macaw.

Everyone saw Harry get a dreamy expression. He loved to fly. Every evening he flew around the grounds just before curfew.

"I don't know. Sounds kinda lonely." Blu replied.

They said goodnight, and Blu said he would probably be up a while because he was still on "Minnesota time."

The next morning they tried their first endeavor in getting the chain broken or off. Blu had a rather decent plan of tying a strong vine to a boulder and hoisting it up into the air before hooking the looped part of the other end onto a branch. They would then let it go and let the boulder drop down onto the chain which would be on another boulder.

"That's actually..." Hermione started. "Not a bad plan. He's very smart for a bird."

"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Jewel asked skeptically with a beak full of vine.

"Positive, check out my math." Blu mumbled back and pointing with a wing feather at a rather complicated equation he had made in the dirt.

"Yes...that's...comforting thank you. Let's just get this chain broken." Jewel said as Blu hooked the looped vine onto the branch.

"Great, then we can go find Linda."

"No, you can go find Linda." Jewel shot back. "I'm going to go back to being free in the jungle with my son."

"Who will then be chained to the wizarding world." Harry said darkly glaring up at the Headmaster for letting something like his situation happen.

Nico patted his shoulder with his small wing.

Blu suddenly tripped and his beak caused the loop to let go and it grabbed onto the beak which dragged the two Macaws on a wild ride. If it hadn't been screwed up, Blu's plan would have gone perfectly.

"Nice try brainiac." Jewel moaned as she shook her head.

Blu perked up. "I think something's watching us."

Good instincts. Fake Moody thought in his head. For a filthy animal.

Two baby toucans cheeped as they appeared on a rock and flew at them. One into Jewels arms and snuggled her.

"And enter the mini toucans." Harry had a giggle fit.

"What?"

"Their very territorial." Harry giggled.

"Aww, careful Blu, they might snuggle you to death." Jewel teased.

Blu reluctantly picked up the toucan chick that was trying to get his attention. Then he plucked out several of his chest feathers making him cringe in pain.

All men with chest hair winced.

"Intruders!" A kid shouted as he grabbed Jewels eyelids from behind and the two Macaws panicked. One toucan grabbed hold of Blu's tongue and pulled until it snapped back like a rubber band. They ran around so much that the chain wrapped around their ankles and they fell over together.

"I like these toucans." George grinned.

"Agreed Forge." Fred grinned too. "I'd love to meet them."

Blu smiled weakly at the toucan chick next to him in vain. "Attack!" The kid ordered and a group of toucan children flew in formation at Jewel and Blu and they shrieked in terror at the mini toucans.

Laughter rang through the hall.

"What's going on down there?" An older toucan male asked as he peeked out of a hole in a tree nearby. He fluttered down and came to his children. "Go go go go, off with you off with you." He said to the minis.

"Rafy!" Pedro grinned.

"The King of Carnaval himself." Nico smiled. Those kids of his where a handful.

"What'd they say?" A muuggleborn asked.

"The toucan's father is known as the "King of Carnaval." back home. Harry said.

"Daddy!" The toucans said excitedly and crowded him. "Daddy daddy daddy!"

"Guys I've told you a thousand times! Manuela, Sophia come on now listen to me."

"Precious aren't they?" Jewel asked as she and Blu regained control of themselves.

"Yes, precious indeed.":Krum snickered.

"Kids! Seventeen of them." The toucan said. "And one on the way. HEY!" He shouted up to the tree hole where two where shaking an egg. "He's NOT A MARACA STOP SHAKIN' HIM!" The two kids giggled as they put the egg down and zoomed away.

"Seventeen?" Ron asked in shock.

"Bloody hell." Draco said as Ron said it and the two looked at each other in horror.

"Their giving me gray feathers." The toucan showed Blu and Jewel his wings and indeed there where gray feathers among the black. "Oh, this papa needs a break." He sat down and groaned as his children crawled all over him giggling."So, are you two lovebirds heading for Carnaval?" He asked.

"Lovebirds?" Lavender asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh, lovebirds?" Jewel asked.

"We're more like Acquaintance Birds." Blu said.

"Not even that, we're more like "chained to each other" birds." Jewel said motioning to the chain.

"Momma!" Came Harry's voice from the tree hole and he flew down and hugged her.

"How did you get here?" Jewel asked after they let go of each other.

"Yes, how did you get there?" Ginny asked.

"Aunty Eva saw me a few trees away. It was cold that night so she dragged me to their nest."

"Eva?"

"Not telling."

"My wife saw him all alone last night a few trees away." The toucan smiled at the reunion. "Insisted he stay the night."

"Oh."

"Do you think you could help us get this...thing off?" Jewel asked.

"Hmm, lucky for you, you know Rafael. And Rafael knows EVERYONE. Ow!" One of his kids had landed on his eye. "Again with the eye! Do you want me to call your mother?" He threatened.

"NO!" The toucans all left him alone.

"Hehehe, works every time. There scared to death of her." Rafael smiled at the 3 Macaws as Harry giggled. He liked the mini toucans. They where funny.

"Moms can be scary." Harry said again..

Future mothers smiled evilly. And those who had scary mothers shuddered.

"Call me for WHAT?" A female toucan asked suddenly making Rafael jump.

"Oh hehe, Eva my love. I must take these three to see Louiz." He wrapped a wing around Jewel and Blu and Harry.

"Whose Louiz?" Ron asked.

"It will explain later."

"Louiz? Hah, you don't fool me for a second." Eva narrowed her eyes. "You and you amigo just want to sneak off to Carnaval." She folded her wings to her chest in an accusing way.

"Ahh, Carnaval." Rafael said bringing Jewel and Blu closer. "That magical time when I met the most beautiful in the world." He made a kissy noise to his wife as he came up next to her.

"Aw." Blu cooed.

"Aww." Many females said while boys rolled their eyes.

Harry smiled while his mother shook her head.

"Hah." Eva scoffed and turned away.

"I still remember the song that was playing when I first laid eyes on you." Rafael said in a teasing tone. "Tall and tan and young and lovely." He sang. "The Girl from Ipanema goes walking." He twirled his wife around with her wing. "Come on baby sing it!"

"That's one of my favorite songs." Hermione smiled.

Ron made a mental note of this.

Eva's singing was horrible. So horrible that it made other birds shriek as they flew out of the trees when she hit a high note.

Several winces where seen. Even from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students.

"Ahh, like a river of the sweetest honey." Rafael said with googly eyes as Eva continued to sing. Badly.

"Eww." Said Fred.

"Ouch." Harry said rubbing the side of his head. "I guess love is deaf too huh mom?" He asked and she nodded her head grimly.

They ended up making out. Their mini toucans going "eww" at the same time.

"Okay. Take them to Louiz." Eva said finally as she rubbed a feather on Rafael's beak. "But hurry back."

"Guess we know why they have seventeen kids." A Hufflepuff Half-blood Second Year snickered.

"You are an angel." Rafael said. "I'll miss you my juicy little mango."

"Oh me too my pudgy papaya." Eva cooed to her husband as the toucans screamed and giggled. "HEY! Marco! Carlos! Put your brother down NOW!"

"Mum's got a bird twin!" Fred said. "Minus the fruity talk and Spanish names!"

"I can't believe she actually let me go." Rafael said as they started to walk away.

"How far away is this Louiz?" Harry asked.

"Not far son, thirty minutes as the crow flies." Rafael said pointing to the sky.

"That doesn't sound too bad." Hermione mused.

"Uh, and how far as the Macaw walks?" Blu asked.

"That is bad." She said in afterthought.

"Huh?"

"Bobo here can't fly." Jewel said irritably.

Harry stared at Blu who looked back with confusion at his curious expression. How could a grown bird not know how to fly? It was the greatest feeling in the world!

Harry sighed as did Nico and Pedro who where perched on the table.

"There's actually over forty species of flightless birds." Blu protested. "There are ostriches."

"Your NOT an ostrich." Jewel snapped.

"Well not technically."

"Look look my friends I want to help but to walk the whole way...it can't be done." Rafael said in a worried tone.

"Where's Daddy?" A toucan said. They all looked over to see the mini toucans all over Eva saying "Daddy." Harry slowly began to walk away as the 3 grown ups looked back worriedly at the young birds.

"Good. Back away slowly." Collin smirked.

"Keep absolutely still. Their vision is based on movement." Harry smirked and Muggleborns and Half bloods snickered.

Several Purebloods looked confused while Professor Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with amusement. Yes, he went to muggle cinemas sometimes. And he too had seen the wonderful film Jurassic Park.

"But uh, sure let's try." He grabbed hold of their heads and turned them around when he did and they began to walk away. "No no don't look back. They sense fear." He said as he walked them away and pulled Blu's head back around.

"Its true." Harry smirked. "We do sense fear."

"What did you do?" Hermione sighed.

"Just teased Blu."Harry said. "A lot."

Mr. Bagman eagerly accepted the next chapter. "Chapter 4: Attempting to Fly"

To Be Continued...

Heehee, this is fun!
