Chapter 13

Harry sighed looking over across the Great Hall at the Dragon Hunter clan. Dumbledore had allowed them into the school on one condition, if they failed this condition they would be forced to leave. They could not activity go after any dragons till after the year was over when all students had left. They had reluctantly agreed to these terms as their employer had said to kill the dragons as soon as they got to the school. When they met Hermione though they were surprise to learn she was a human turned dragon, as was Harry, and Cynder there was only one actual living dragon currently near the school.

This did not do much to keep the tension between the dragons and the Hunters from rising. Amelia had noticed it and decided it was time for Harry and Hermione to leave the Great Hall. She had some things to talk about with them seeing as the Clan did not look to be leaving anytime soon. So leading them over and up the stairs to one of the castles many balconies she smiled and spoke.

"Harry, Hermione, I would like you to do something before this year ends," Amelia asked.

"Sure, though, what is it," Hermione asked, looking at Harry then Amelia.

"If you can talk and make friends with the Hunter Clan," Amelia said.

"What! Why would we do that," Harry asked, yelling at her in shock.

"Because it might end up helping you," Amelia said, causing both of Harry and Hermione to look at her rather confused.

"That makes no sense, why would our enemy even try and help us?" Hermione asked.

"Because through them you might first find out who is targeting you, and second maybe find a way to stop the fight before it happens," Amelia said.

"Somehow I think this is not going to work, but I am willing to try," Hermione said.

Hermione and Amelia looked at Harry who sighed, saying, "Fine, I guess I will try. But don't be surprised if this plan of yours fails."

"I won't be," Amelia said, causing both of Hermione and Harry to look at her slightly surprised.

"I don't expect it to work fully, but we can hope that it does have some effect," Amelia said.

Hermione nodded as she led Harry off to the dorms for the night. Thanks to Harry changing her into a dragon, they had gotten to live in the married quarters. This was done for two reasons. One was to keep Harry from getting mad at the other boys since Harry could not stay in the girls dorm. The second, being Harry did not want to stay apart from Hermione at all, unless he had to be.

It was a few weeks later when Cynder and Saphira finally returned. They had been unable to find any suitable cave big enough to house Saphira. Saphira was slightly annoyed by this fact, but became even more annoyed, when she learned Dumbledore had let the Hunters into the school.

"Why in the world would he do that," Saphira asked.

Hermione sighed looking up at her, in her dragon from, "Because as long as there is no danger to the students, he has no reason to not let them in."

"Yeah right, he had reason enough to keep them out," Cynder said glaring at Hermione for a few seconds.

"While I agree with you Cynder, Hermione is right in this case. Without posing a real threat to the students by remaining inactive till after school, he had no reason to keep them out," Harry said passing about, in his dragon form as well, his tail moving back and forth.

"So where does this leave us," Cynder asked.

"No better or worse than before. You see we can leave as soon as the tournament is over," Harry said.

Hermione glared at Harry though, "but what about my education, isn't that important?"

"Yes, but our lives are more important Hermione," Harry said, returning the glare with strength enough to easily make Hermione to back down.

"Okay fine, but can we return later so I can finish?" Hermione asked slightly fearful.

"Yes, in the mean time I have something else you might like to hear about. It seems I have some undead Dark Lord after my tail," Harry said, before explaining to them what Dumbledore had told him and Hermione.

"Well this day just is one piece of bad news after another," Cynder said.

"Maybe, but it could be worse. We have each other right now, and no one is activity trying to kill us currently," Harry said with a smile.

"Yes that is very true," Cynder said, "Now tell us what else has been going on since we left."

( Sorry about the short chapter.
I have been lacking lately in thoughts for this. It mostly because of the fact i put out 16 chapters in under two weeks. But i should be able to put out chapters normally now. )
