Draco was in the creek behind the cabin, picking the plants that helped the dragons. He had no shoes on, pants rolled up, dirt on his face, and a bundle of leafy green in his arms. He gathered as much as he could and placed it in a large basket, he had on the bank. He'd notice that a few extra plants would find their ways into his basket. It always made him smile.
Looking up from his spot, he saw Charlie running towards him. "Hey! I've got wonderful news! Dot's egg hatched!"
Charlie must have flown here right after the baby dragon emerged.
"That is great news, Charlie." Draco smiled, he loved seeing how happy dragons made his partner. Draco grabbed his basket and walked out of the creek to get closer to Charlie.
Charlie had a wild look on his face. "Draco."
"What?"
"Indigo lives on!" Charlie exclaimed, his excitement bursting through his soul.
"Wait, wait, please explain! Quit being cryptic." Draco said as he pulled up the basket he was holding.
Charlie's smile was huge, "Dot became pregnant by Indigo before he had been killed!"
It hit Draco as once, "That's why she started digging holes!"
"Yes! Yes! She wanted a mate! Evolution is wild, isn't is, Draco."
Draco's heart felt so warm he put down his basket and gave Charlie a hug. He felt his eyes water at the feeling of Charlie's heartbeat. They both stared into each others eyes.
"How about we celebrate tonight? Harry is here for another day, we should send him off with a nice party. We'll invite the whole group over, what do you say?" Charlie asked Draco.
"You know, that sounds like a great idea, Charlie. You better get started on some celebratory cake!" Draco chuckled.
The two of them started walking towards the cabin, "Oh, I know how you get when I make cake, trust me, I'm on it!" Charlie took Draco's hand, "Oh, wait, what about you basket?"
"It'll be fine." Draco answered him.
Draco craned his head around, as he did he saw the familiar shadow figure drop a small green into his basket. With his free hand he gave a small wave to the Branch Walker, and the helpful friend gave a small wave back.
THE END!
(is really only the beginning)
I seriously want to thank everyone of you lovely souls for finishing Branch Walkers. It means the world to me. It was my first fanfiction, typed on my phone, so you being able to make it through my grammar and writing skills, is honestly amazing. There were a few moments where I wanted to delete this, thought I'd never finish it, with all this crazy stuff going on in our world, it brought me down. I rose back up though, gathered my strength and finished it! I'm proud of myself and I'm proud of everyone who may read this.
Never stop exploring this world we live in, find hidden waterfalls, don't be afraid to make mistakes, and love this life we have been given. Sending love from the mountain-hermit. Thank you again my friends.
