Harry turned to look back at the Dragon Handlers then moved next to Charlie before jumping a bit as Ghirahim teleported next to him. Harry then stood and began to check each of the handlers.
"What stopped the draining?" Charlie finally asked with a slight groan.
"The creature that was doing it left after we captured it." Harry explained. Charlie nodded slowly and sighed in relief.
"So there is no one else around to finish what is going on?" Charlie asked. Harry nodded.
"Yeah it left like I said. I think it is heading to the forbidden forest, I have a feeling that is where the location for the Lost woods now is." Harry said with a groan.
"Why would this lost woods be in the forbidden forest Harry?" Charlie asked.
"Oh because the lost woods have always been dangerous and from what I know the Forbidden forest with several things in place would be the most convenient spot for it." Harry explained then frowned.
"Wonder if there is a Deku tree in there and how much it remembers of the past." He mutters with a frown. Ghirahim frowned himself then went and grinned down at Charlie.
"Are you going to be okay soon? I really, really would enjoy some alone time with you." Ghirahim purred. Harry groaned and covered his face at Ghirahim's reactions.
"I apologize, Charlie, I may technically be his master, but I can't stop who he is going to hit on I'm just glad he surprisingly doesn't want to hurt you." Harry said.
"Why would he want to hurt me?" Charlie asked as he glanced at Ghirahim who was smiling at the other again.
"Master please don't ruin my bit of fun. I have been out of the game for millennia!" Ghirahim exclaimed as he looked at Harry.
"Fine. I won't interfere just make sure you don't harm him." Harry said then walked over to the large horse that was nibbling on the grass next to one of the paths between enclosures. He leaned against the horse as the rest of the Weasley's and Hermione finally approached having noticed the calmness that was spreading.
"Is whatever was wrong done?" Hermione asked noticing the exhausted handlers around the one enclosure.
"Yeah, the threat has been dealt with Hermione. They should be up and about a bit soon." Harry explained. He glanced back at Ghirahim whispering to a now blushing Charlie and rolled his eyes yes again.
"I really think Charlie is going to be limping tomorrow morning." Harry whispered to Hermione who clapped her hands over her mouth so as not to start laughing loudly. Harry smirked as the head tamer walked over to them.
"You should have waited for someone to collect you from where you all were. What if we had failed to keep the wards up?" He snapped at the group. Harry looked at him, his eyes narrowing at being questioned.
"And if I hadn't dealt with the reason the wards were losing power they would have collapsed." Harry snapped at the man. The man stumbled back as he stared at Harry stunned at the boy's size. Harry crossed his arms his golden eyes just staring at the man. He stepped back and glared towards Charlie who still had the strange white-haired being draped over him.
"Charlie deal with your visitors! I want nothing to do with these fools!" He snaps obviously angry over the situations out of his control. He spun and called the rest of the handlers to him demanding the go to check the enclosures. Harry glared at the man as he continued obviously throwing his weight around in irritation. Harry stepped over to Charlie shaking his head and looked at him.
"Tell me that isn't your boss." Harry requested.
"He's not the owner but he is the head handler." Charlie admitted. Harry glared towards the man again then nodded and motioned for Charlie to lead them.
"Where is the owner?" Harry asked softly.
"He headed out to pick up supplies early this morning." Charlie explained. Harry nodded.
"When is he due back and where at?" Harry asked causing Charlie to frown.
"Harry what are you planning?" Charlie asked.
"I will not let that person lie to the owner about what happened. If I speak with him first I can at least prevent things from going too badly, or at least I hope so." Harry explained.
"Fine, but he already knows that his head handler has a bad attitude, but the man is the only one who has been here for over 15 years." Charlie explained. Harry frowned but shook his head a bit at Charlie's response. Charlie lead Harry to the same place that they had arrived before casting a spell to check the time.
"I would so much rather be playing with you." Ghirahim almost purred into Charlie's ear making Charlie jump again.
"Harry!" Charlie cried out as Ghirahim wrapped her arms around Charlie's chest. Harry started to hide laughter.
"I already told you Charlie, I don't have full control over my sword. I really can't help it that he's apparently attracted to you and is enough of a drama queen to not care how many know it." Harry explained. Charlie groaned and lowered his head as Ghirahim chuckled. Harry slowly stretched while waiting, he knew if it was going to be too long of a wait that Charlie would have said something.
Soon three people appeared on the arrival spot. A couple of bags as well as the used portkey held in each person's hands. They looked up and the Eldest of the group frowned seeing Charlie with a large dark-skinned person next to him.
"Charlie, what is going on? Usually, none of you guys are waiting. Did something happen?" The eldest asked his hair just starting to show peppering.
"There was an incident. Nothing bad happened and it was stopped, but one of my visitors wanted to talk to you before the head Handler about the incident." Charlie explained then motioned to Harry. Harry nodded to him and smiled.
"Hello, sir. I just wanted to make sure Charlie wouldn't get in trouble for what I did during the situation earlier." Harry explained. The man frowned before handing his bag over to one of the others and motioned them to take the stuff away.
"So tell me what happened in your own words." He requested. Harry nodded and explained the incident to the man. The man listened and frowned with the head handler's reaction and shook his head a moment.
"Also sir my friend here has a bit of a strange request." Charlie said then stared as the huge horse stepped up behind Harry and lipped at his shoulder a bit. Harry laughed and rubbed the nose of the horse again.
"How, that horse was insane and wild?" The older gentleman said in shock. Harry chuckled and leaped onto the horse's back and grinned.
"He is a Gerudo War-steed. Very few things can control one." Harry explained and smiled. "I was asking Charlie if I could convince you to buy him from you and the mare that is probably following him" The man blinked only to see the brown coated white-maned mare walking over to the huge stallion.
"I don't want to know but since they obviously are comfortable I guess paying for food supplies equal to the two horses and I'll let you have them." The man said. Harry nodded and grinned then glanced at Ghirahim who was still draped over Charlie.
"Hey, Ghirahim can you go get a few critters that would be easy for these guys to hold that equal the amount of food these two horses would give?" Harry requested. Ghirahim pouted at Harry then sighed and released Charlie.
"You love ruining my fun, but fine." He grumbles then winks at Charlie before raising his hand preparing to snap his fingers.
"I'll be right back darling. I hope you'll be ready for me." He purred out then vanished with a snap and a flurry of diamonds.
"Again Charlie I am really sorry about him. I don't know why he is all over you like that." Harry explained. Charlie shook his head and looked at Harry on the huge Stallion one more time.
"It's fine. He is an intelligent being and he will act on his own desires." Charlie said then laughed. "Besides it's not terrible having him all over me, it's been awhile." Harry blinked a bit then shook his head.
"Tell me if he hurts you please." Harry requested and watched Charlie nod. Harry then grinned at the owner as he tugged lightly at the stallion's mane. It turned and walked back towards the dragon enclosures.
"Hmm Oh is there a way to get these horses safely to Hogwarts? I think that is the best place to send them at the moment and my teachers will understand." Harry requested of the man. He nodded and laughed.
"Once we get the replacement items I will set up the travel stuff for them." The man agreed and watched as Harry easily rode the horse and paused seeing the head handler glaring in his direction. Harry grinned darkly at the man while sitting on the horses back. The man's eyes narrowed even more at Harry as he clenched a fist tightly.
"Oh is something wrong? If it wasn't for the fact I'm underage I would happily duel you to prove my strength, but then again." Harry grinned and sat straight up on the horses back holding his right hand out forming a ball of magic in the hand that quickly started to crackle. "I can always do this." He watched the handlers around the head handler quickly move away from the two of them. The horse beneath him started to shift its hooves being raised a bit more as it shook out its mane and obviously prepared to charge at the handler if given even the slightest command.
"This is a Dragon Reserve visitors that are underage shouldn't be here in the first place!" The man snapped. Harry blinked and snorted at the handler before quashing the magical ball of energy.
"Listen here. You are not in charge of who is allowed here. That is your boss who you should be accepting the commands of." Harry snapped at the head handler. He watched the other man snarl not seeing the owner coming within hearing distance.
"That fool, he is an idiot who doesn't see the best use for a Dragon is to be chained down and the scales pulled from it every year! That as soon as it has breed 2 times it should be killed and fully harvested! Ancient dragons are of no help!" The man snapped in pure frustration. Charlie who is with Harry looks at the man in horror at his words. The head handler then looks at Charlie and sneers.
"And soft handlers like your friend there should be on their knees for ones like me." He sneers starting to charge towards Charlie. Harry growled and instantly reformed the magic energy ball. He threw it at the head handler before he could reach Charlie then climbed off of the horse before it could begin charging the man to trample him.
"Wow and I thought the old King of Hyrule was bad. You though… you are something else." Harry said shaking his head disgust obvious on his face. He stepped closer glaring one of his hands turning into a fist. He slowly shook his head then lashed out with his fist punching the head handler in the cheek hearing a crack of bone as the triangle on his left hand glowed lightly. Charlie moved up behind Harry slowly and shook his head before placing a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Harry come on. You've done enough let's leave it he isn't worth your time." Charlie stated calmly. Harry growled his golden eyes glowing with his anger. He lashed out at the handler once more with a kick.
"Fine, I've done enough to the asshole." Harry growled as the owner steps over and looks at the man then looks at the other handlers most who look completely stunned. One or two were frowning at the man.
"Well I'm sorry to say but I can not have someone like you staying here any longer Mr. Croas. You obviously are not the type of employee I wanted within this reserve." The owner snarled at the man. The man winced seeing the owner then all the others around him glaring.
"Oh shut up! I bet most of you agree at least where it comes to these bloody dangerous beasts!" The man snarls before whimpering and grabbing at his face from the pain. The owner walked towards one of the buildings and opened the door. He soon came back and placed an item on the man's chest.
"You can come back and pick your stuff up once you are healed, but you will be escorted at all times." the owner stated then triggered the portkey.
"I'll go and start packing his stuff. I don't want him here for any length of time." One of the other handlers volunteered with a sneer.
"You swear you will not damage any of his stuff correct?" The owner said with a frown. The man nodded in understanding then headed off to start packing up the former head handlers building.
"Well looks like I'm going to have to choose a new head handler." The man groaned as Harry chuckled.
"I'm sorry for causing this insanity." Harry apologized.
"Not your fault. His issues would have come up sooner or later. It's probably for the best they showed up now instead of later." The man said with a sigh. Charlie shook his head and sighed.
"That was insane. I just don't know what to think of all this." Charlie muttered before looking at the spot the one-time head handler had been laying. Harry chuckled a moment before shaking his head.
"Just be glad Ghirahim wasn't here when that happened. If he had been considering his interest in you. We probably would have witnessed the poor man being skinned alive." Harry stated with a shrug. He turned away from Charlie as a dark malicious grin slipped onto his face that he soon worked to get control of. Just because Ghirahim hadn't been here didn't mean he couldn't let Ghirahim know what had happened.
"With how much he was all over me. I can imagine. He doesn't seem like a weak being." Charlie said causing Harry to start laughing again.
"Oh, definitely not. He is a demon, turned into a sword spirit and has been alive longer than anything else here." Harry explained with a wave of his hand. Charlie blinked a few times and stared at Harry.
"What?" Charlie asked as several of the handlers looked at Harry.
"Oh yeah you don't know about that do you?" Harry said just as a loud snap echoed in the air. Harry turned to see Ghirahim standing with 4 large bulls.
"Here we go. It's probably more than what the two horses are worth but it should do." Came Ghirahim's voice as he then slowly stalked towards Charlie again a grin on his face.
"Thank you Ghirahim." Harry said then looked at the owner who was looking the bulls over. Harry moved next to the large horse and leaned on its side as Ghirahim glanced around and frowned at the energy going on around the reserve.
"What happened here?" He asked as he wrapped his arms about Charlie again.
"I'll tell you later. I think for now we need a chance to rest." Harry said causing the rest to nod as the owner smiled and led them to where they were sleeping after directing the handlers to lead the bulls into a corral.
