Chapter 4

Albus Dumbledore frowned to himself his devices that monitored Sammy and Harry Potters magic suddenly stopped working. Had they figured out that there were blocks on their magical cores? Or Merlin forbid the links that helped augment his own power?

Dumbledore scowled he had tried to legilimens the kids but had come up with nothing it was like their minds were now being blocked by something young and old at the same time.

He had also blocked their natural abilities and sealed their parents Will it was all in the name of the Greater Good that his two little weapons...ahem… students were firmly under his control on the side of the light.

Two months later

Severus knew he could not undo the blocks placed on the Potters, he also knew that their dragons were keeping the Old Fool from stealing any more magic from them.

"I need to get them to Gringotts, they need to claim their inheritances. It will keep them safe from Dumbledore."

Severus watched as the children had lessons with the dragons he was excluded from the mental link because he wasn't a Rider and he didn't need to know their secrets.

The dragonettes were monitored in their own private lessons with the dragons soon it would be time for the new riders to spread their wings and take flight together for the first time.

3 Severus himself would teach the children hand to hand combat. He was intrigued about how the children would learn sword fighting since the dragons couldnt teach them through mental communication and he himself wasnt too proficient with a blade.

While exploring the rooms they had found bedrooms that were down little hallways from the domed common room. there were also common bathrooms as well as individual libraries for the children to study alone when they needed a break from each other. Finally the children came out of their lessons with the elders.

"Severus we believe it will soon be time to teach the children the way of the animagus." Ares rumbled as the children went to put their study materials away.

"They are too young it would be dangerous."

"We would never endanger our students Severus, if we felt that they were not ready for it we would not suggest it." Oceanus snapped irritably. Severus winced even dragons had their limits.

"Very well i shall brew the necessary potion." He was still worried but if the dragons thought the children ready then so be it.

Snape made the potion, and announced to the children the dragons plan this was met with excitement and some nervousness.

"You will only practice your transformations within these rooms with my presence or the dragons if i hear about any of you trying to transform alone before you have mastered it there will be severe consequences do you understand?" Severus asked the kids looking in particular at Fred and George.

"How are we going to do this?" Hannah asked.

The kids looked at at each other they had been told to go one at a time and to figure out the order themselves.

"Why dont we go in order of whose eggs hatched first?" Neville suggested.

They all nodded so Harry drank his and waited.

He didnt feel anything at first but gasped as a vision started in his mind.

Vision

Harry felt powerful all around him the air was muggy and hot but that didnt bother him as he paced along the branches. He jumped down and lowered his head to drink and came face to face with a green eyed jaguar.

Just as he had seen his jaguar self he was suddenly soaring in the air with a screech he dove down and caught the reflection in the river of a Golden Eagle

Sammy was next.

It was cold very cold and the terrain was barren and rocky she felt powerful and graceful like nothing could touch her she went to drink in an icy river and saw a snow leopard.

Before she could take a drink she was soaring in the air. she soared down into the bay to catch a fish seeing a bald eagle.

Hermione

Hermione felt great as she stalked after prey, suddenly she saw something bound away from her and the chase was on unfortunately they went into water. Oh yuck water icky only good for drinking not bathing. Wait normally Hermione loved baths and saw herself she was a lioness.

suddenly she was flying soaring over the clouds then dropping down to find herself as a Northern Hawk owl.

Blaise

blaise raced through the forest his paws fast over the braken and downed branches. he panted as he nosed around a small pond and saw a wolf.

he soared in the sky with fierce ease a red tailed hawk owned the skies.

Draco

Draco padded his way across the plains with insolent grace as a leopard he was one of the rulers of the plains.

Draco winged his way across the skies as a gyrfalcon smugly flashing his talons.

Luna

Luna was springy for lack of a better word it was like her legs and back were huge springs. as a cheetah she danced across the plains.

Flying was fun and as a Eurasian Hobby (small falcon) she swiftly flew.

Fred and George

Fred and George laughed eerily they both were strong and stocky as African spotted Hyenas it was incredable.

As Harriers they made mischief in the sky.

Hannah

Her terrain was rocky and warm she raced after and caught her prey as a puma

She took to the sky as an osprey screeching a cry for all to hear.

Susan

Susan growled in her forests she was a medium sized pale brown Spotted leopard as she hid in the leaves of her tree.

the sky was owned by a fierce merlin she tumbled through the air with lazy ease.

Ron

Ron was a tiger proud and strong as the grass was crushed beneath his paws.

In the air he was a fierce kestrel and cried his joy

Neville

lumbered his way through the overgrowth as a Kodiak Grizzly he was the second largest subspecies of brown bear and as big as a polar bear.

in the air he was red shouldered hawk and defended his territory with harsh pride.

Severus was amazed by the childrens duel animagi forms.

"I am impressed I have never seen anyone with dual anamagi forms let alone eleven of you and so young."

Harry, Sam, Hannah and Susan all decided to start work on their avian forms while the others worked on their ground dweller forms.

"We should set up something like a council." Draco said as he sat upside down in his chair. With the other Riders he was able to act his own age rather than be a poncy git.

"What do you mean?" Susan asked looking up from her book.

The others looked over at Draco.

"Well when there were more Riders they had a council to help with problems among the Riders."

"But there are only twelve of us." Ron said frowning.

"Right now yes but you heard what the Elders said the other day, there will be more Riders some day and better to establish rules and regulations and such now before it becomes a problem later."

"Hermione frowned in thought.

"He does have a point, ok so should we be a council of twelve?" Susan frowned and shook her head.

"No we should have an odd number so that someone would always have a deciding vote."

"Maybe Severus?" Blaise asked. The Potions Master had given the kids permission to call him by his given name in private.

"That would work he is one of our trainers and maybe the Elders can give him some information about the old councils."

Hermione got a gleam in her eye that meant a research project had just taken residence in her brain.

"I can look up old customs and traditions we should be as informed as possible." They all nodded it made sense.

A few days later the children had assembled in the Salle for their first fencing lesson when the door opened and in walked four people they assumed to be their trainers.

As one the twelve knelt and bowed their heads for before them stood Godric Gryffindor Helga Hufflepuff Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.

"Please rise children there is no need to kneel to us." Salazar said his voice a very pleasant tenor.

The children rose as one and stood at parade rest feet shoulder width apart and hands clasped at their backs.

"We know it is startling and we must thank you for not gawking at us in awe you wouldn't believe how tiring that gets." Helga said her voice a warm alto

"Oh i think two of us can relate." Fred or George said looking at Harry and Sam who blushed beet red.

Rowena laughed.

"We know all about you two and we are very sorry about your parents it's hard for us to lose our descendants."

"Could you have helped?" Sam asked quietly.

"No i'm sorry granddaughter we tried but got there too late the two of you were already gone and your parents were dead we couldnt track you after that or we would have gotten you years ago." Rumbled Godric his voice almost as deep as Ares.

Harry and Sam looked at each other, at least someone had tried to save them.

Three hours later saw all twelve kids collapsed on the floor gasping and moaning in exhaustion.

"I think we broke them." Rowena said smiling slightly.

"They'll get used to it." Salazar murmured her bent down and gathered Luna and Sam into his arms. Godric gathered up Susan and Hermione while Severus who had joined htem an hour into the training took Hannah. Rowena and Helga levitated the boys and took them into their rooms. Each child then had to make it to the bath on their own but with their dragons help they made it.

"The children are doing very well but now it is time for them to get back to school before they are missed." Helga said sipping tea.

After the kids had been cleaned up they went back to their common rooms since it was Sunday night they had school in the morning.

At breakfast Dumbledore was watching HArry and Sam.

"It's creepy how much he's watching us." Sam thought to Nyx.

"Maybe you should confront him."

"No not right now we must wait." Sam looked back down at her meal and took a bite.

"He is an Oath- breaker better we break him then he break any future eggs you or i might have."

"Eggs? I can't have… Oh you mean children, Kids will be way into the future, but you are right." Sam said scraping her fork through her eggs.

Hermione glanced at her friend and noticed the slight blush.

"You ok?"

"Uh, Yeah Nyx is talking about kids." Hermione raised an eyebrow, but Sam shook her head indicating they would talk later.

"We cant break him yet my friend we will take him to our legal system when we have enough evidence against him."

"Bah, a good solid bite would finish him off though he appears too bony not enough meat to make a meal."

Sam nearly choked on her milk, and Hermione pounded her friend on the back.

"Good conversation?"Hermione murmured.

"Unintentional joke." Sam gasped.

Hermione shook her head and went back to her conversation with Sif.

"Let me guess he's crunchy and good with ketchup?"

"How did you know?"

"Just a hunch."

When the Riders convened with the Elders the had one pressing question.

"So Erbrithils who was it that tickled a sleeping dragon?"
