A Trio of Dragons Chapter 4: Getting to Know One Another
Harry's POV
When our eyes met he froze. He would never accept me; no human ever would. Why do I want to be accepted by them anyway? All humans knew was to hurt and betray. I couldn't stand his stare any longer; I fled. I ran through the trees until I came to the cliff at the edge of the forest. I jumped transforming in midair. I flew away; away from the young dragon keeper, away from my clan, my family, but mostly I was trying to fly away from myself. I didn't even notice my brother and sister following me; Fehler being too young to leave the clan.
He saw me in human form. HE SAW ME! This is not good; he'll do something, tell someone. I know he will. I flew to the cave. It was a place I found not long before, but I didn't tell the clan about it. Once inside; sheltered from the outside world I transformed. I curled up behind a large rock and cried, why couldn't I just be a normal dragon. I hated being human. It was with that thought that made me transform again, but even then I hated myself. I just wanted to fit in, but the fates made that impossible.
"Mühe?"
"Leave me alone…Please…"
However in true Glückspiel fashion she ignored my request. "What's wrong?"
"He saw me..."
"He's been watching you for quite some time." Neid replied.
"In my human form…"
"Mühe why does that bother you so?" my sister asked concerned.
"He froze… like prey does…he was scared of me…" I sobbed.
"Show him you mean no harm." Glückspiel replied.
"But if he was scared of me…one who works with dragons…how will the others react."
"Ya sure he wasn't just surprised?" Neid broke in. I stared at my brother dumbly. "There ain't many humans out here ya know."
"Go find him again, in however you are most comfortable; only allow it to go how far you want it too." My sister ordered. I sighed defeated.
Charlie's POV
HOLY SHIT!!! That was a little boy! The Dragon Walker! Shit!!! I scared him. He must have been only nine or ten years old, but he seemed healthy enough. Those eyes though… I've seen them before…where… It can't be. I've been out here too long. I'm making impossible conclusions.
I met the Potters once; it was actually exactly a year before they died. Mrs. Potter and her son, Harry, had those eyes. The Potters were dead though, but Harry's death seemed suspicious.
I've been out here to long. A shuffling behind me catches my attention; I spin around to find myself face to face with the hybrid. His bright green eyes… Dam those fangs and that tail could do damage; granted he was only about 9 foot.
He's just watching me. Okay… I'm brave, otherwise I wouldn't have been a Gryffindor, but I'm not stupid. He could tare me to shreds. Finally he lies down. What!! He growls lightly, before locking eyes with me.
"Hello."
Holly fucking shit… That was inside my head and from him. "Ahhh… Hi." I repeat out loud.
"What's your name?"
"I…I…I'm Charlie Weasley" Holy Shit…I'm pretty sure no one has done this before. "What's yours?"
He ponders for a moment "Mühe…"
"Where did the little boy go?" I blurt out.
Anger and suspicion fills his eyes. "Why?" The voice is flat within my head.
"I…I just want to meet him."
"In time, Goodbye." He turns and leaves. I stare after him; mind whirling.
Author's Note: This is the end of Chapter 4. Short - Yes. I will probably combine chapters later on. Am I moving along too quickly - too slowly? The more reviews the quicker the updates - hopefully. Thanks, hope you liked it. Please Review.
