Chapter 13: Ways of Wyverns

Harry waved to Percy as he walked past him into the Minister's room. Charlie was already there and looking as handsome as ever in robes of the deepest blue. Harry ignored the flip in his stomach and approached the Minister and Charlie.

"Good you are here." Shacklebolt began "As I have already told you, Macnair has been found in Australia and he appears to be trying to tame wild Wyverns."

Harry blinked.

"Wyverns? What are those?"

"Wyverns are flying serpents." Charlie began "An adult male Wyvern stands 20 feet tall. They have claws like a large eagle, wings and the head of a dragon, green and black scales, and breathe a foul poison. The females are 25 feet tall and are tougher than the males. They tend to lay 4 eggs during a clutch. The females also have two spikes on their ears, right behind the ears. Females also spray poison. Wyverns travel in flocks, like birds. They are lead by an alpha and if you control the alpha, you control the flock. The Alpha is always the strongest male." Charlie explained. Harry was impressed that Charlie knew so much. Then again, he was a dragon tamer and got an O on his N.E.W.T. Care of Magical Creatures exam. Harry remembered the twins telling him that. Harry ignored the burning sensation in his eyes and the lump in his throat.

"That is right." Shacklebolt said with a smile "The Wyverns are flocks are usually centered around Ayers Rock and rarely stray from it. Last we saw Macnair, he was at a town called Alice Springs, which is close to that spot. You can floo to Sydney and then apparate to that town. Since you will be dealing with flying creatures, I think you will need this Charlie."

The Minister pulled out a small broom, placed it on his desk, and enlarged it to reveal a new Firebolt.

"Minister, I can't"

"He accepts." Harry said firmly, shrinking it again and handing it to Charlie.

"I already have one and if we are dealing with flying creatures, we both need brooms. I was going to buy you a Firebolt before we left anyways." Harry said firmly, looking into those icy blue eyes. Now was not the time to get lost in those eyes. They had a job to do.

Charlie nodded and soon both of them were stepping into the fire and going off to their next adventure.
Harry stumbled out of the grate and noticed two things at once. First, it was way too hot and second the guy that was waiting for them was shirtless. Harry closed his mouth as Charlie came out of the grate and looked around.

"G'day and welcome to Sydney. Name is Brian and welcome to the Great Magical Reef Resort." Brian was a (shirtless) male of around 29 with short blonde hair, a deep tan, and made of pure muscle. Harry had to restrain himself from drooling. "The Minister of Magic of Britain has told us about you and your suite is ready. If you give me your trunks, I will put them in your room. The password for your room is "Wyvern Hunters" I suggest you change into something more agreeable to this weather. Your robes will weigh you down where you are going. Here is a portkey. The word for this is "down under". I can take your robes."Brian said, flashing them with a picture perfect smile.

Harry and Charlie looked down and noticed that while they had both dressed in short sleeves and shorts, they were both wearing robes. They both removed their robes and Brian took them and the trunks away. Hadi stayed on Harry's shoulder. Harry grabbed the portkey, which was a small blue shell. Brian returned to tell them that the place they were looking for was south west of the town the portkey would take them to. Brain gave them a wave and a "Good luck" and left.

Now that Brian was gone, they both looked around the room. The room was a nice tan color and with pictures of waves. Harry thought this was a little much since there was a large archway leading to the beach and the Pacific Ocean. Harry noticed that the painted waves were moving in time with the real ocean and Harry felt more impressed.

"I wish we could stay awhile." Harry said, noticing that there were a fair amount of people on the beach and a fair amount of them were shirtless guys. They were just so attractive and Harry just wanted to be near them. He felt guilty looking at them with just a superficial lens but he had to admit, his hormones really didn't care about that.

They both stepped out into the beach, grabbed the portkey, said the password, and with a tug at the navel, they were off.

They both landed with a thud. The town was small and there was no one out. Harry thought it was creepy so he pulled out his Firebolt and enlarged it. Charlie did the same and both of them kicked off.

Harry took the lead. With a flick of his wrist, he brought his want to his hand and used the Point Me spell. He gestured for Charlie to follow and soon enough, they were taking off across barren desert. Harry had to cast an Impervious charm on his glasses so he could see. Harry looked over to see that Charlie was wearing goggles that he must have brought with him. He smiled at Harry and Harry took off with a burst of speed. He did not need to be distracted by that dazzling smile.

It had been ten minutes of flying when they spotted something in the distance. There was a large something sprawled on the ground and it was making sounds that Harry could not hear. Harry made a gesture to Charlie and they both landed a safe distance away, shrunk their brooms, and slowly headed towards the downed thing, Charlie drawing his wand as well with a flick of his wrist.

As they approached, Harry could understand what the thing was saying.

"War... is not... ours... why... us... Wizard... Alpha..." it hissed and Harry understood that this must be a Wyvern. It sounded male and it looked to be about 20 feet. As they approached, he heard the beast hiss and before he could say anything, he noticed that a green fog was heading towards them. Harry quickly used a Bubble-Head charm and turned to see that Charlie was doing the same. Knowing that Hadi was on his shoulder, he cast a similar spell over his shoulder. It caused Hadi to be in a protective bubble of clean air.

"Let me do this." Hadi hissed as he rolled off of Harry's shoulder.

"What do you want small thing?" the Wyvern asked hissing. "Why are you helping wizards?"

"I am a companion of Harry Potter, who can speak our language. What has happened to you."

There was a pause.

"A wizard attacked my flock and has done something to our Alpha. I am the Beta... was the Beta. I tried to fight the wizard and my former flock attacked me. What does this Harry Potter want?"

"The wizard you speak of is probably someone called Walden Macnair, a dark wizard that wants to tame serpent type creatures and use them as weapons. Harry Potter and the other, Charlie Weasley, who does not speak our tongue, are here to capture this wizard."

Harry took this opportunity to approach slowly and he kept his arms raised in a surrender pose.

"My name is Harry Potter," Harry hissed "I have come to save your flock. I know you are injured and we can heal you. You have to trust us though."

Harry was now close enough to see the Wyvern. It was trying to stand but Harry could see that there was a huge gash above its right talon. There were gashes up the scaly torso and the large wings. The wings were damaged too but not by much. If he had to guess, Harry thought that the Wyvern was about 22 feet from base of tail to to head.

"I am in no position to fight back. I will trust you for now, speaker to serpents." the Wyvern replied.

Harry motioned for Charlie to come up and told him that the Wyvern accepted their help and that this was a Beta. Charlie nodded his head and bent over the Wyvern. He moved his wand over the gashes and was mumbling all the while. Harry watched as the gashes healed and the Wyvern seemed to be breathing easier.

In a few minutes, the Wyvern stood on its legs and looked down at the wizards who had helped him.

"Thank you and tell the other one thank you. My name is Caldrax. What can I do to help you?"

Harry related the information to Charlie in English then returned to the language of the serpents. "Lead us to your flock if you can. We will take care of Macnair. Your Alpha may be under the control of him or has caused him to go insane. If we could control him and get him..."

Caldrax cut Harry off "Alphas can only be removed from the flock when they are dead. If you took the Alpha away, the flock would fight. I have to take on the Alpha to prove that I can take care of the flock. I will probably have to kill him since Morvassa is a very aggressive Alpha. If you can deal with the wizard, I can deal with the Alpha. If I fail, please leave the flock alone unless you suspect Morvassa would be a danger to wizards. Then you have to kill him. Come, let me show you the way. I think I am well enough to fly."

Caldrax opened his wings wide and took off. Harry removed his bubble head charm as did Charlie and both followed on their brooms. Harry saw how Caldrax was flying and had a feeling that he was in more pain than he let on. Two wizards and an injured Wyvern vs a demented wizard and a flock of Wyverns: what could possibly go wrong?
