Ron screamed again, "stupid bloody dragons," another one had burnt him, four baby dragons had hatched, on Sunday, they were still waiting on the other three.
Even though they were only two days old, they were strong and extremely mischievous, he knew some people like Hagrid would find them cute.
However Ron did not class something that breathed fire, had sharp fangs and an immense strength cute, he called them a nightmare.
In truth Ron found himself liking them, they were playful and they seemed to think he was their personal toy, they were learning to gang up on him.
Yesterday, they had jumped him, he had landed on his back with the four little monsters sitting on him, they thought it would be fun to singe his hair.
So last night he had spent most of it learning a charm that helped grow back his eyebrows and leg hairs, thankfully he had figured it out.
Yeah they were fun and they were the only beings on this island that spoke to him, Charlie was still upholding his silent war, and the others stayed away from him.
Today was the same as it had been since it had happened, Charlie went and helped the other groups, meaning most of the labour was left to Ron.
Ron had found the work got easier as he slowly built on the muscles he had never used before, today he was building a secure type wall to keep the little ones inside.
Charlie had informed the group that they needed to be kept in a barrier as they are likely to wander off and although babies cannot fly too well, they had been known to travel short distances.
Still Charlie had ignored him and stayed away, Ron wasn't too bothered he didn't feel much like talking, besides since they had hatched, they kept him very busy.
They were more open with him, as he knew babies don't learn how to guard themselves properly until much later, but even then babies usually disliked humans, Ron remembered Norbert.
It seemed as though the babies had seen Ron talking with Emertios, and as Emertios was the leader of their lair, they trusted him.
So they had been very open with Ron, playing with him and trying new ways in which to drive him mad, although they did have certain uses.
Earlier Charlie had come to the lair, to check Ron's work, Emertios was asleep as was Calandra and Delasornia the two female dragons.
Ron had been building the barrier for the little ones when Charlie had appeared with a superior look on his face that resembled Percy.
This had pissed Ron off, and it seemed that Scarosas, the oldest of the four had seen this, as suddenly Charlie was on fire.
However it seemed it didn't stop there, his sister wanted to play, Taratia was very playful and managed to bite Charlie's ankle.
Then to add to the pile up Salantra and kiraen the two other male dragons decided to join in, biting and burning Charlie.
This had amused Ron who thought Charlie deserved it, but Charlie had been a dragon worker for years, so he knew how to handle four naughty baby dragons.
Soon all four were sitting in a daze on the floor, and Charlie with his superior air left, and Ron had just laughed at the confused four.
It was weird when he could hear all their thoughts and fears, at first he heard them all, but in a day they were learning to mask so he couldn't hear their thoughts.
Still when they lost concentration, which happened a lot as they were young, they would leak their thoughts and feelings and Ron would pick them up if he was close by.
Emertios was also talking more to Ron as long as he didn't bring up his visions or him being a seer, but Ron knew that Emertios knew more than he was letting on.
But mainly Emertios told Ron about the history and legends of dragons, it helped pass the time whilst he was working, or eating, or studying.
Well truth was Ron rarely stayed at camp, he liked being alone so the others didn't look at him like he was going to freak out.
It hadn't happened since Thurs, he had passed out for a long time, when he had came to he had remembered everything.
The first family were a woman with cats, her name was Anna, her older grandson was called Mitchell, he was also killed, they had been killed straight out.
The second family were not so lucky, it was a woman called Penelope and her husband was called Vernon and their sons names were Douglas and Harold.
They had all been tortured, Ron could taste their fear and pain, they had screamed but he had not, he had held it in, even when they cried, he had held it in.
Even though he was unconscious, he was aware that he couldn't scream or draw attention to himself, or Charlie would have him sent straight to hospital.
This had resulted in him having a split lip as well as blood running down his nose, but the worst was the tiredness, his muscles ached.
Even though he had built them up and strained them everyday, one vision and he felt as though he had been hit by ten bludgers, and then the beaters had used him as a bludger.
He had managed to collapse on his sleeping bag, before falling into a restless sleep but he was so deep in sleep, his screams hadn't hit the surface.
He knew he probably looked like hell, he had been working none stop, still, and when he wasn't working he would study, he had already done all his homework and he was now learning things for his fifth year.
He was worried he was turning into Hermione or worse Percy, but in truth he still felt the same, he was the same Ron but just a little different that's all.
Truth was he studied when he wasn't working so he didn't think about it, about what he had seen, he wasn't ready to face the fact that he was a seer, but other changes had happend that weren't so bad.
He was more comfortable in his larger frame, he had always been tall and gangly but now he had filled out and he didn't feel so awkward.
But he figured he was the same, he hoped he hadn't changed, would his friends like him still?, would his friends change?.
He knew things were awkward between him and Hermione, but there was too much going on to think about that, not right now.
But he hoped he and Harry would be alright, he knew their friendship was strong, but he didn't want to risk ruining it.
That was why he had decided to tell Harry about his visions, he knew he could trust Harry and he knew Harry would understand, not to mention believe him.
Ron just wished he could see him already.
Ron heard the scuffle behind him and he watched as the babies ran to their mothers for feeding, Ron decided to look away it was disgusting.
As he turned round he spotted Charlie headed towards him, with a determined look on his face, this was going to be good.
Charlie smiled at Ron, "can we talk?"
Ron shrugged not ready to forget that easily, "whatever."
Charlie rolled his eyes, "stop being a drama queen Ron, it doesn't suit you."
Ron smirked, "and I suppose it suits you then, because your the one who has ignored me for over a week now."
Charlie smirked, "yeah well I guess we are both too stubborn for our own good, but at least I'm trying to make amends, your still being stubborn."
Ron smiled, "yeah well your in the wrong so you should suffer some more."
Charlie laughed, "you really are stubborn, do you ever apologise?"
Ron pretended to think about it for awhile, "no, not ever," he lied.
Charlie sobered, "look I am sorry, I just was worried is all, but you seem ok now so can we just forget it, I asked you out here to get away from all that crap, not to fight."
Ron nodded, "alright your forgiven, besides its not a problem."
Charlie nodded, but Ron could see he didn't believe him, Charlie looked around, "I see your monsters are hiding, scared of me are they?"
Ron snorted, "hardly they just wanted feeding, all though I could call them back if you like, they may think you are tasty, then again they have good taste."
Charlie tackled Ron to the ground, it was something all the brothers often did, wrestling, and usually Ron never won.
The twins always worked together so you never stood a chance against them, then their was Bill and Charlie who had always been bigger than Ron so they always won, Percy of course didn't play such childish games.
But it seemed it was time for payback, Ron managed to flip Charlie and pin him easy enough, Ron couldn't help but laugh at Charlie's shocked expression as Ron let him up.
Ron laughed, "you'll think twice now before taking on a better man."
Charlie snorted, "better man, please just because you have gained more muscles and height than me doesn't make you a better man, actually it doesn't even make you a man."
Ron laughed at the insult, "is poor Charlie upset because his little brother is bigger than him?"
Charlie smiled, "shut it, ickle Ronnie kins."
Ron just ignored the nick name, "its your own fault if you would have helped me now and again, I wouldn't have built up more than you."
Charlie laughed, "yeah your right, look the guys are organising a Quidditch game and I have said you will play keeper."
Ron shook his head, "ok first of all, how can we play quidditch, we have the brooms but you said no magic, as the islanders could spot us, and second Keeper is your position."
Charlie smiled, "we have set up charms so that we won't be seen, and I'm not on your team but I will be playing chaser anyways."
Ron chuckled, "so your saying you can play quidditch but we can't do simple spells to help us out, you need to sort out your priorities."
Charlie looked baffled, "its Quidditch."
Ron thought for a second, "yeah your priorities are in order, let me finish here and I'll meet you."
Charlie nodded, "ok, oh and we are going to Diagon alley tomorrow night and coming back Friday morning."
Ron just looked confused, "why?"
Charlie shrugged, "I need some extra supplies, so you can come, the lair is nearly done so it will be alright, you can stay here if you want?"
"No I want to come," Ron rushed out, thankful he was getting away from the island for a while.
Charlie headed off, "meet me in fifteen minutes, ok."
"Yeah alright," Ron shouted after him.
He then ran to write Harry a letter, he hoped by some miracle he could get to Diagon alley, he knew Harry was with muggles but they sounded alright, so Harry might be able to make it.
Hey Harry, its Ron, how have you been?, well I wanted to let you know that I'm going to Diagon alley tomorrow that's Wednesday, and I'll be there until Friday morning, let me know if you can meet me there, I know your with muggles, but I really need to speak to you, besides the company here is boring, the dragons are not too bad though, write back and let me know, Errol will find me, hope you can make it. Ron.
Ron quickly attached it to Errol and sent her on her way, he hoped Harry would meet him, he needed to see him.
Ron was about to leave when Emertios spoke, "leaving so soon, youngest Weasley?"
Ron nodded, "yeah, we are gonna have a quidditch match, what's it to you."
Emertios looked at Ron, "do not trust too easily, even the closest people will betray you, guard your back."
Ron finally snapped, "look if your talking about Harry then your wrong he is my best friend we would never betray each other."
Emertios shook his large head, "I was not referring to the boy who lived, someone related through blood will betray you."
Ron decided enough was enough, "look my family are strong and loyal, they will never betray me, so just stop with the cryptic messages already, unless you have something real to tell me?."
Emertios just hung his head, "I knew you were not ready to know, yet I had hoped."
Ron snarled, "yeah I thought as much, useless information, just leave me alone."
Ron stormed off intent on enjoying the Quidditch game, although Emertios warning rang clear in his head,
"Someone related through blood will betray you."
