The Dragon's Rider
Chapter One
Harry sat in an abandoned classroom. He was thinking over the events of yesterday. Cedric Diggory, the fellow Hogwarts Champion, had been murdered by the Dark Lord Voldemort in front of him. When he came back to Hogwarts, he had claimed that someone calling themself Voldemort ad killed him. He made a political decision that would save his skin from the Minister's denials. It was only proved when the Minister called Dumbledore a fool.
He looked up as he heard the door open. There was a blonde girl standing in the doorway, holding what looked like an egg. "Hello, Harry Potter," she said. "I have something that belongs to you."
He blinked his emerald eyes at her, surprised with her declaration. "Who are you?" Harry asked. "And, what do you mean belongs to me?"
"I'm Luna Lovegood," the girl said. "And I meant exactly what I said; I have something that belongs to you." She came closer to him, holding out the egg to him. "Go ahead, take it," she said.
Tenderly, Harry reached out to the egg. Picking it up, he carefully held it as he felt a rush of magic. His magic reached out and connected to it. He felt like he had found something that he had been missing his whole life. He looked up to Luna, wondering if she would explain what happened.
Luna's face was covered by her white-blonde hair as she dug through her bag. Her hand flipped over books and strange knick-knacks. She pulled out an old journal and handed it to him. Harry took the journal with a raised eyebrow, urging the blonde to explain some of this.
Luna motioned to the book. "That will explain everything you need to know. Only one entry per day, however. If you miss a day you can read it the next day along with the one for that day," she said. "Good luck, Rider." And with that, she spun on her heel and left.
Harry stared at the spot Luna had been standing. The book and egg in his hands. He knew that these things were important, just not how. Making up his mind he decided to read the journal now, to help him find out what happened.
December 12th, 999,
Dear Journal, I have just found my dragon's egg. It appears to be a Lux, also known as a Sunstar dragon, almost as rare as a Tenebris, a Moonwater dragon. My brother, Howard, was slightly jealous when he saw it. He is not quite seven, and having four older siblings find their dragons before you can be upsetting. Ah, is the pains of being the younger siblings, my dear brother, it is the pains.
Anyhow, my darling Lux egg is quite beautiful. Its shell is a warm golden colour with yellow and orange hues. The egg has a sparkle to it that makes it turn almost a silver blue in the moonlight, like it was last night when I found it. The scales are like tiny teardrop shields going up in a circle It was gorgeous at first, now it's simply extravagant. I can not wait until it hatches, the dragon is always more beautiful than the egg, after all.
I've been thinking of calling it Linaya if the Lux is a girl and Haron if its a boy. My beautiful mountain flower or my mountain of strength. I guess if I would like to follow my family's tradition of naming our dragons after their types I can't use them. But then again, I do have a bit of habit of breaking tradition.
I'm going to go ask Corbin if he can do a sketch of a Lux and a Tenebris egg on the bottom of the page, bye for now Journal!
At the bottom of the page there was two sketch eggs. The first had more details than the second. The first was also the Lux egg, it matched with the description perfectly. The second was vague, like the person who drew it was unsure of details. The oval was bigger than the Lux egg, the scales looked they were little jewels, but the size differentiated. An arrow was drawn pointing to the corner of the page. Understanding what it meant, he flipping the page, finding a note in a different handwriting.
The first one is the Lux egg, the second one is is the Tenebris egg. The scales are different sizes because I wasn't sure how big they were - love your brother, Corbin.
Harry picked up his egg. It didn't look any of the eggs he saw close and personal, with its color changing scales depending on how close to the light it was. The jewel scales that were tad golden now, but turned to a dark purple the further Harry moved it from the light. Taking a look at the drawings again, Harry compared the eggs. His egg's scales matched some of the bigger ones on the Moonwater egg. The colour scheme matched as well. Harry was sure of it now.
Luna Lovegood had given him a Moonwater dragon.
A/N: I don't actually have much to say here, just that all the dragon names are made up, as these dragons aren't in the Harry Potter verse, and that the translated versions are things translated into another language on google docs. Hope you enjoy the story!
