Harry Potter and the Dragon of Legend

ESKK: Here we go a brand-new chapter. Now let's get this show on the road.

(Start Dragon Sanctuary)

Harry was going through another training track as Mortis oversaw what Harry was doing. Nearby Hermione saw it as well as Wyldfyr was drinking from a nearby fountain that was set up. Ron had opted not to come to the Sanctuary today for one reason or another which Harry suspected he wanted nothing else to do with Dragons for a bit. As Beau ran through the track the Dragon of Legend and rider were in synch with each other. The training was starting to enter a sort of cycle for the group, and Hermione wondered why that was the case.

Beau chose Harry and then guided him here where they met Mortis. Mortis in his own right had secrets which Hermione suspected was for good reasons... but still there were many more answers that eluded her as the training continued. Their cycle had been weekly, weekdays were spent attending classes and finishing schoolwork, when classes were over it was to the Sanctuary where Mortis had a new training for the pair, and finally it was off to patrol the areas Mortis sent Harry to as Dragon Booster. Hermione sighed as she closed her book to stretch her legs a bit and explore.

Mortis was made aware of Luna and Oliver and oddly enough the Sage allowed it to happen. But as Hermione walked, she soon got to a painting that showed a woman in crimson red armor with a fireball in her hand. "That armor looks sort of like Harry's." Hermione noted as she looked to the painting.

"Of course." Mortis was heard and thus Hermione jumped a bit at the arrival. "She was one of the five." Mortis said as he stood next to Hermione admiring the portrait.

"Who was she?" Hermione asked and thus Mortis had an answer.

"She was the Fire Booster the Red Draconium Warrior." Mortis answered and thus Hermione looked to the painting almost drawn into it. "She was the heart of the five her blazing passion had often been what light the way through the darkness of the Dragon Human War." Mortis explained as if he knew her on a personal level.

"How did she... what happened to her?" Hermione asked to which Mortis grew silent.

"She and her Dragon fell trying to give the original Dragon Booster time to reach his destination to end the war." Mortis said with a sad tone. "Many lives were lost be it in battle or by noble sacrifices and thus shows that war cares not for morals or sides." Mortis said showing that he knew war and seen the horrors that entice from it. Her Gauntlet and Amulet were separated one of the two hidden in a temple and the other used as part of a relic." Mortis said as he looked to the painting and sighed. "Perhaps there may come the day when her successor finally makes herself known." Mortis said and began to walk away reminiscing of a time long past.

Hermione stood there for a moment longer and in turn performed a small bow of respect to the portrait and then took her leave. She still had some schoolwork to do and thus needed to focus on it. Still, she wondered more on the five Mortis mentioned and also noted how they sounded like a familiar group from a popular children's TV show.

(Scene Break Diagon Alley London)

Harry was once more in his Dragon Booster form observing the events going down below. Ever since the duel it seems public opinion was against him as Harry again while opinion on Dragon Booster was still split between menace and vigilante. Now while Harry didn't mind either way, he still didn't like people staring at him, it made him feel like some animal in the zoo. It was even the same at school as it was here people were scared that Harry was the one responsible for the attack recently and Harry was worried that they might try and take Beau away or worse. As Harry looked upon the alley he wondered if this patrol will be one of the evenings where all was calm, and everything was fine.

After all, for the few months that Harry had been doing this he was surprised to see just how much crime was committed outside of view. But despite Harry's desire for a quiet evening that would not be granted as Harry soon saw what was, clearly suspicious actions down below.

Looking closer Harry saw what looked to be a trio of men hoisting around a trunk which Harry found odd. But then Beau began to growl glaring at the men in contempt for what they were doing. "What is it boy?" Harry asked as he got worried for Beau. Beau roared and in turn glared at the trunk as something inside it was getting Beau on edge. "Alright let's go look into it." Harry said and thus Harry and Beau went down.

(Down Below)

"Why the bloody hell are we doing this again?" A man asked as they were hauling a trunk about.

"As I said fifty times already these blasted dragons are new so why not smuggle the eggs." Another man said showing he really wanted to be the first to do it. "Once it's done, we'll be swimming in richest and wonder." He added as the trio could actually picture it.

"You don't say." A new voice spoke and thus the three crooks looked and saw the Dragon Booster standing there with his Dragon. "Now you've got me wondering." Harry said using his Dragon Booster voice on the foes below him.

"Bloody hell!" The Wizard leading this enterprise snapped as he took out his wand ready to fight. Of course, Beau was already on the case as the Black and Gold Dragon fired off a Mag shot that slammed into the Wizard knocking him back. Harry then jumped off Beau and began sending down a few well-placed strikes on his foes. The Wizards had no time to counter as Harry was putting the training Mortis had given him to good use. At first it was a major adjustment for Harry as the Dragon Booster form, he donned had taken him time to really adjust too since it was several feet higher than his actual body. It was touch and go for adjusting but in the end, Harry managed to get through it.

Thus, it came as no surprise when Harry was able to take on the two Wizards like nothing. Sending in a few well-placed strikes he made sure that his foes could not counter him. Thankfully, most hexes and curses they tried to use on him bounced off the Golden Armor he was wearing. As Harry avoided the attack's he then saw the men were about to try something else but instead were met with Beau slamming one of them with his tail. Seeing his chance Harry dodged a few more spell fire and attacked the other one with a fist to the face knocking the man down. Once he was taken down Harry proceeded to ensure that the men were tied up for their actions. Harry then smirked a bit before he and Beau looked to what the men were trying to fairy away.

Walking over to it Harry saw that it was locked before he felt around the box. Soon he found a switch and thus hit it before a lock was revealed on it. Beau saw this and with a mag shot forced the lock to open and thus reveal what was inside the box. Once the pair opened the trunk, they were wide eyed before looking to each other and then back to the trunk.

(Scene Break the Dragon Keep)

Once the pair got back Harry had been quick to revert and open the trunk to show the group what he had found. "Are those?" Hermione asked as Harry and Beau had returned and showed them the trunks contents.

"Yes, Dragon Eggs." Mortis said showing the great concern he had by his voice alone. "I feared this may have happened, though it started sooner than I had expected." Mortis said as he knew the trouble this would cause them.

"What?" Harry asked as Beau and Wyldfyr watched the eggs like hawks.

"Smuggling of Exotic Animals or in this case smuggling of Dragons." Mortis said much to the shock of Hermione as well as her fear for her own dragon's wellbeing. "This does not bode well for anyone especially those who see these beings as tools." Mortis said as he knew what enslavement would lead to.

"If they do that, the Dragons will undoubtedly lash out and fight back." Harry said realizing what this could result in.

"Leading to a Second Dragon/Human war." Mortis said making it clear that they needed to figure out how to stop this smuggling ring.

"How can we stop it?" Hermione asked as Mortis knew they hardly had enough evidence to start a sting.

"With the two Harry had dealt with we don't have enough to go on, and even than at the moment the ICW and the Department that handles magical creatures have yet to come to a consensus on the Dragons." Mortis said as he was careful with how to approach this. "If we do anything against them, they can use this to their advantage and thus Harry out to be the criminal." Mortis said and thus this meant only one thing.

"So, we can't do anything against them?" Harry asked as he had put the pieces together.

"I'm afraid not, all we can do is ensure these Eggs are taken to a safe place away from the Smugglers." Mortis said as he closed the trunk on them to allow the Eggs to continue their incubation period.

(Meanwhile with Morgana)

"Well, this is interesting." Morgana said with a smirk on her face as she read over the data her sources had acquired. "Looks like those people have already decided to get crafty and start a little dragon smuggling business." Morgana said as she had a sinister smile adorned on her face. "And if my hunch is correct I certain pureblood I know has a role in it." Morgana said as she then smirked to this. "So, either I'll have to pay him a visit or force him to come for an appointment." Morgana said as she began to think over how to go about it.

Morgana had hands and fingers in just about every shady business in London and eyes and ears in vary parts of the world and in other corporations. It's one of the many ways she had kept ahead of the game as it were. It also came with the benefits of being able to catch wind of something new she could exploit or cash in on. Immortality could be a vexing thing especially if you have to vanish or play dead for a while and leave someone else in charge of things.

Still even Morgana had to admit that things have started to progress faster then she had originally anticipated. Maybe it was going a bit too fast for her tastes. It might be wise to pull back a bit and let things fall where they must. If she kept her hands to tight on things then questions will be asked, too loose and things will slip through them. Yes, patience was needed for now let the pieces fall where they must and take advantage of it when they land.

(Scene Break Hogwarts Several Days Later)

A few days have passed since the discovery Harry made while on patrol as the Dragon Booster and needless to say things at Hogwarts did not get better for Harry. Ever since the Dueling Club fiasco everyone has been giving Harry a wide berth in fear that he might be the Heir to Slytherin. Accusations have been made left and right towards Harry and Beau's protective nature kept flaring up over it. The strangest part though was that after a while that girl, Ginny just avoided Harry entirely when Beau made it clear Ginny was not to approach Harry.

Harry tried to apologize but Ginny quickly left causing a small strain between Harry and Beau. Of course, last time Beau did this was because Ron had unknowingly been harboring a traitorous criminal in his home. So maybe Beau sensed something about Ginny that he was trying to protect Harry from.

The only question is, what could it be that has Beau on edge against her? He could ask Hermione to see watch her while she is in the girls dorms and maybe check her belongings, or have Ron stay with his sister and wait for something to happen, but right now Harry was thinking over what to do with the dragon's eggs, no doubt they were important to the dragons themselves, but without knowing what kind of dragons they are, they just have to keep watch over them away from hunters, and speaking of hunters it seem there was more trap incidents out in the forbidden forest.

Whoever was laying down traps seem to know that the dragons were roaming that area, only question is who is doing it and why, but he has no idea and he couldn't plan out everything while many eyes were on him due what happen during the dueling club so, Harry headed towards the haunted girls' bathroom and hopefully figure out a plan of what to do with said egg and figure out who was the hunter setting up said traps.

Upon entering, Harry was soon greeted by a familiar ghostly figure as she called out, "Hello Harry."

"Ah, hello to you as well Myrtle," Harry called out as he sees her floating around in the middle of the bathroom as she asked, "What are you doing back here again?"

"Needed some privacy, seem like everyone is seeming me as Heir of Slytherin still," Harry said as Myrtle said, "Oh sorry to hear that but I'm sure it will blow over, or it will keep following you even after you die and become as miserable as me."

"Right," Harry said a bit awkwardly as he didn't know how to respond to that. Harry had met the ghostly girl sometime after this whole Basilisk fiasco started. Everyone knows that the creature was a Basilisk and now that everyone was accusing him of being the Heir of Slytherin Harry had nary a moment of peace. Thankfully, Dumbledore came to his rescue to keep him from being arrested since there was hardly enough evidence to prove Harry was the culprit.

Anyway, opting to change the subject Myrtle's saddened look turn into a happy one as she came closer to harry as she soon said, "By the way harry, if you don't mind me asking, could you bring your dragon in here?"

"Beau, for what?" Harry asked as he wonder why Myrtle wanted to see his dragon as she said, "Oh nothing much I wanted see if he acts like a cat like Wyldfyre does."

"Wait, what?" Harry wonder what she meant as he didn't get it until Wyldfyre suddenly came into the bathroom on her own without Hermione, taking harry by surprise as he said, "Wyldfyre?!"

The red dragon saw him before pouncing onto him before doing a purr against him while Harry pushes the dragon back off of him as he said, "Wyldfyre, what's the matter with you!?"

"Wyldfyre, you need to stop before- Harry!" Hermione said as she suddenly came in and saw what is going on as she quickly rushes over and pull Wyldfyre off of Harry as he gotten up and said, "What's going on with Wyldfyre?"

"Blame the twins, as it seemed they discover something by pure accident, as it seems they wanted to see if a dragon would sneeze if they caught whiff of a certain plants," Hermione said as Harry soon said, "And let me guess, instead of making a dragon sneezing, it made them like this."

Meaning to Wyldfyre as Hermione was trying to get her under control as she said, "That correct, as it seemed they came across what's basically the dragon equivalent to cat nip."

"Let get her to Hagrid, maybe he knows something that could help," Harry said as he knew the magical creature professor would be busy and Hagrid would be the only person who knows magical creatures just as much as Hermione agrees as she hopes the half giant did have something for them.

(Hagrid's hut)

As Harry and Hermione had taken Wyldfyre to Hagrid's, she was left outside with Beau watch over her as she was chasing a butterfly, trying to catch it as Hagrid was sitting down with the two dragon riders as he said, "Sorry to say this, but this is a first for me of hearing a dragon acting like this, but if it's any consolation, there are some magical creature that would like this as well but there nothing anyone can do about it as the best thing to do is waiting out, as I'm sure after Wyldfyre tires herself out, she'll relax and sleep off the effect of this… dragon nip."

"Thank Hagrid," Harry said as it wasn't much but it was something as it was just a waiting game right now for Wyldfyre to recover from the dragon nip, as the three of them look towards the dragons as Hagrid saw how much fun Wyldfyre is having while Beau was calming and relaxing as he said, "Majestic creatures these dragons are, they almost remind me of Norbert when he first hatch from his egg."

"I almost forgot you had a dragon of your own," Hermione said as she remember that night as Draco had ratted the golden trio out and Hagrid of being late out at night with a newly born baby dragon that lead to them getting detention late at night while also had Norbert ship out to the dragon Sanctuary to be with his own kind as Harry said, "I'm still sorry for that to happen Hagrid, I know you loved Norbert very much, and it does seem unfair to you."

While Harry, Hermione, and a few selected students of Hogwarts had dragons of their own, Hagrid had to get rid of his, not the same kind as their dragons, but still as Hagrid said, "Its fine harry, tending to the dragons at the stables is well good enough for me of almost having a dragon myself."

Harry and Hermione smiled a bit, but they still felt a bit guilty and wonder if there was any way to make it up to Hagrid.

Maybe they could get him his own dragon preferably something not so dangerous as say Fluffy the Cerberus. Hagrid has been known to adopt some of the more dangerous creatures seeing them as harmless, but he seems to forget that he's a half-giant and others are not. Thankfully, Dumbledore had been able to push through the Board of Educators to get a Dragon stable built since several students seem to acquire a Dragon lately. Many of these creatures had gravitated towards humans and thankfully none seemed to be willing to bond with Draco.

Meanwhile back outside Wyldfyr was rolling around on the ground as she seemed to be pawing at air. She was really out of it as the dragon no doubt had a lot of this Dragon Nip. Fred and George were of course sorry about this, but this would not save them from retribution forever. Beau kept an eye on Wyldfyr making sure the Dragon did not hurt herself by accident while keeping his senses acute for any dangers from the Basilisk. Beau had been around Harry for some time and that kid was a trouble magnet. This was why Beau was so protective of Harry because of all the trouble that came his way he normally got out of it by luck. But at some point, one's luck has to run out and Beau was there for when it did.

Dragons were intelligent creatures almost sentient in nature each Dragon has their own personality and characteristics to make them all unique. Regrettably, some humans can't see that and only see them as mindless beasts from which to harvest resources. It was one of the reasons that Dragons had gone into hiding so long ago, to keep away from greedy humans. Just then Beau was drawn from his thoughts by movement going on nearby.

Looking to the source Beau saw something moving in the wood line. It was big and dangerous as Beau could sense the danger. Getting on the defensive Beau began growling as the creature turned its eight eyes on the Dragon. Beau's instincts didn't pick up any friends for this creature so it might have strayed from the pack somehow. Growling Beau glared at the eight-legged creature ready to attack at a moment's notice. the creature began to move closer and in response Beau fired off a Mag shot straight at it sending it flying back. The Spider like creature was already back up but Beau roared in fury against the eight-legged foe.

The roar seemed to draw attention as from the hut Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid came back out to find the scene before them. The Spider saw Hagrid and in response turned around and ran off back to the forest to look for its nest.

"W-what was that?" Harry asked as he saw the creature running off.

"I read about those creatures; they're called Acromantula they're very dangerous creatures with even deadlier venom." Hermione spoke as she undoubtedly knew enough being the walking encyclopedia that she was. Beau growled as he glared at where the creature ran off to as Hagrid saw this.

"They aren't that deadly I know of the nest nearby they tend to keep away from the school altogether." Hagrid said as Harry and Beau looked to Hagrid with a look of concern. "That one must have strayed a bit too far from Aragogs nest he did." Hagrid said as Harry then looked confused.

"Who is Aragog?" Harry asked as he assumed Hagrid knew of this particular creature.

"An old friend was a small thing when I first laid eyes on him, probably grew a bit since then." Hagrid said reminiscing on old times.

Harry and Hermione meanwhile looked between each other and then to Beau as they knew that Hagrid's view on dangerous creatures differed from their own. "Yes of course." Harry said but was not at all entirely convinced when one considered Fluffy last year. Meanwhile Beau just sat there with Fang next to him as the Dragon and Dog looked to each other before looking back to the scene before them.

(Later that day)

Due to the fact that today was an off day for the students many had spent it doing their own thing from homework assignments to just goofing around. Harry knew that he would not be able to take part in the Hogsmeade weekend until his Third Year which was next year but after hearing all he has about it he was excited about the trip. Speaking of excitement Harry had high hopes that this year he would be able to get out of the Dursley's home and move in with his Godfather. Word from the grapevine suggested that Sirius was on the mend after his stay in Azkaban.

If all goes well, Harry should be able to visit during Christmas Holidays and in turn introduce Beau to Sirius and vice versa. But as Harry was about to take a turn to another hall, he soon saw Ron coming his way as Beau saw this. "Harry!" Ron greeted as he met up with his friend.

"Hey Ron, how's Ginny doing?" Harry asked as he looked to Ron.

"Honestly not sure, I've been dodging her path, but she seems a tad bit reclusive lately." Ron said as he noted that something was up with Ginny especially after these attacks had started. "I overheard one of her roommates commenting that her bed had feathers lose but when I tried to ask her about it, she gets dodgy about it." Ron said as he was no doubt keeping his end of the bargain after Luna helped with the Furox.

"So, she's not doing too well?" Harry asked as he looked to Ron with concern.

"I can't really tell I'll ask my brothers to look in on her, but I don't know something seems fishy to me." Ron admitted as he looked to Harry as Beau snorted a bit which made Ron glare at the Dragon for how he was around Ginny.

"Well, I would help but you know how Beau gets around Ginny." Harry said as he patted Beau's jaw area.

"Yes, I noticed." Ron said with a dry tone in his voice. Ron had yet to accept that Beau was not the cause of Ginny's misfortune in school whatever they were. Ron will admit that yet, Beau was spot on about Scabbers or Peter as he was actually known but Ginny is his little sister after all. "Anyway, I need to go I heard some students are trying to get some racing circuit started and I want to check it out." Ron said and thus took his leave though Harry had suspected it was so Ron can get a bit of the fame in that regard. Harry and Beau then shrugged before taking their leave to continue their idle wandering.

(Scene Break Dinner)

Eventually Dinner came around and many students had opted to eat with their Dragons. Beau was with Harry as the superhero tossed a drumstick over to Beau who happily snapped his jaw on the bit of meat. Hermione saw this and rolled her eyes as Harry seemed to spoil Beau a lot but then again Hermione did the same with Wyldfyr, so she had no room to talk. At least when Hermione did it her dragon was given something healthy as a treat instead of table scraps from the Great Hall.

"You know Harry you need to consider Beau's diet a bit more." Hermione said as Beau looked to be waiting for the next bit of food to fly his way.

"Come on Hermione Beau has eaten raw fish I think his stomach can handle human food." Harry said as he threw another bit of food over to Beau who jumped up and chomped down on it.

"Harry he might gain weight he's not supposed to have, the food he got in the wild he had to work for it, so he burned off those calories." Hermione explained as unknown to her Wyldfyr was sneaking a few scraps herself making sure Hermione didn't notice what she was doing. Wyldfyr carefully twisted her head and took a large amount of Hermione's food as she was lecturing Harry. "And I assume you don't want Beau being too fat to ride now do you." Hermione said as she then stuck a fork onto her now empty plate. Hearing the sound of her fork on the plate she looked at the plate and then looked at Wyldfyr who had her mouth filled with food.

Seeing that she was caught red handed Wyldfyr swallowed the stolen food in a vain attempt to hide the evidence and enjoy said evidence. "Wyldfyr did you eat my food?" Hermione asked in a disapproving sort of way. Wyldfyr looked away and thus looked down looking like a kicked puppy. "Don't give me the puppy dog eyes you know it's not good for you missy." Hermione scolded as she looked at Wyldfyr making sure the red Dragon knew what she did was bad.

"Trouble in paradise Hermione?" Harry joked as he looked to Hermione. "Be glad she doesn't chew on books." Harry said as he knew some dragons had certain quarks. After all several students tried to blame the dragons for lack of homework turned in. A play on the classic a dog ate my homework excuse.

Just then the sound of owls was heard and from above Hedwig flew in with Harry and Hermione's letters. Harry had been happy to lend Hermione Hedwig who enjoyed the extra work as she flew in and dropped off the letters for the pair. Hedwig then landed on Beau's head as Harry smiled at the scene. The two had become somewhat of friends after a shaky first meeting in which Beau nearly chomped on Hedwig for lunch. Now the two had become close friends as Beau seemed to have accepted Hedwig into his growing brood.

"It's from home." Hermione said as she then opened up her letter to see what was, inside it. Harry smiled and opened his own letter when he saw that it came from Sirius.

He quickly opened it up and unfold the letter as he reads it to himself as he read-

"Dear Harry

I'm writing this letter to tell you that I've been given a clean bill of health both physically and mentally as of now, with that I am able to return home, and I also heard you won that dragon race of yours, congratulation on your victory and hope you enjoy the trophy."

"I also want to invite you over on Holidays break of spending some time together and get caught up on the last 11 years I've been away, you can even bring your dragon along as I got a special surprise for him as well.

"I know this may not make up for all the years that I've been locked away, but at least it's a start. Also, if you want, I got some stories to tell about your parents, I got all the juicy detail about them if you wanted to know."

"I hope you're doing well in Hogwarts and all and wish to the best of luck on future dragon racing."

-Sigh Your dog father, Sirius Black

Harry could not help but laugh at that dog father part and wonder if it was a mistake. Then again spending over 10 years in a dark prison that meant for the vilest of wizards to be put away in could still be affecting him in some way. Plus, the wraith like guards that roam about sucking the happiness out of everything they come close to wouldn't have made the place better either. Not that he will mention it, but it seems he is doing well now.

"Yes!" Hermione said in excitement as Harry look over to her and ask, "I'm guessing there's some good news or something?"

"Yes, there is, my parents are allowing me to bring Wyldfyr home for the holidays, and now only that but they had also agreed on allowing me to invite a friend to join us for the break," Hermione said as Harry smile and said, "That good to hear, who were you planning on inviting?"

"Well… I was planning on inviting… you Harry," Hermione said a bit shy of just saying that as harry was surprised by this as he said, "You wanted me to come with you for the holidays?"

"Well I know you don't want to go back to your relative's on holiday break, and spending it here in Hogwarts isn't a way to celebrate the holidays sense they don't allow holiday parts and such here, and I thought you may enjoy a nice real family dinner," Hermione said knowing what she knew of Harry's relatives does for the holidays, she wanted to do something special for him at least as Harry soon said, "Well that sound nice and I would like that… but it seem Sirius had the same idea."

Harry showed Hermione his letter as she read it and she had a sadden look on her face as she said, "Oh… I see, well I'm sure he will love it if you do visit him for the holidays, And I can just tell my parents something just came up."

Now Harry felt guilty as it seem Hermione really did want him to come over to her home to celebrate the holidays with her and he didn't want to disappoint her as he thought of something as he came up with an idea as he said, "Maybe I can't come over to your home… but maybe you and your family can come over to my family's home."

"To your relative's home?" Hermione question as she wondered what Harry meant as he said, "Not them, Sirius' home. As I'm sure he'll love me when I do come over but… I think he may love even more company to talk with and such."

"That's… a good idea, I can tell my parents and hope they will agree, but no doubt they will sense they do want to meet more people in the magical world," Hermione said as Harry nodded and said, "And I will ask Sirius of having more guess over and see what he'll say."

Hermione nodded to this idea as she soon reached into her bag and pull out a couple of papers and a fountain pen as she said, "Lets write back to them right away, hopefully we can have everything plan out just right."

"Got it," Harry said as Hermione handed him the Fountain pen until he held up his hand and said, "No you go first I can wait to write after you're done."

"Right," Hermione said as she started writing a reply letter to her family to tell her of the change of plans for the winter holiday as she put down much detail as she can for her parents to read before stopping and hand the pen over to Harry as he took it and did the same for Sirius.

Hedwig was enjoying the rest she was getting for the time being until Harry came up to her with the two letters and a piece of bacon as she said, "Hey Hedwig, I know you just got back but we really need to get these letters send off quickly and hope you can still do so."

Hedwig gave a hoot sound saying "Yes" or of the like as Harry smile and gave a piece of bacon to the owl as she took it and ate it with joy before Harry gave the letters too her before she soon takes off as Hermione said, "You think this will be alright?"

"Maybe, but then again it could be a bit much, so maybe I'll have something nice prepared for Hedwig when she gets back," Harry said as Beau give a small growl as Harry smile and about to give him another chicken leg until Hermione grab him and said, "You really shouldn't keep giving those, at least give him something not cover in grease fat."

"Fine," Harry said as he put the chicken leg down and look for something else and he went for a buttery potato with Beau ate it just the same as Hermione said, "Better I suppose."

(Scene break)

That same evening Harry and Hermione had returned to the Gryffindor Common Room with their dragons close by. Hermione had bid Harry goodnight before she and Wyldfyr went up to the girl's dorm to turn in for the evening. Of course, while he was still in the main Common Room Beau was doing a bit of roaming when he noticed something off in the room. The Twins were still up and about as they were discussing something but left their bag of tricks unattended.

So, when Beau walked over to it, he took a small whiff of it and noticed something attracting inside. He then dug his head in and found exactly what he smelled and needless to say the effects were as expected. The Twins heard the rummaging before they went and looked to the source of it. It was there that the Weasley Twins saw Beau's head was currently their bag of tricks.

"Oh no not again!" Fred called out as Harry saw this and panicked.

"Beau!" Harry called out and thus pulled Beau away while the twins took back their satchel. But by then it was already too late as Beau's eyes came out dilated and it seems like he was out of it. "Dragon nip." Harry cursed as he saw that Beau was now high just like Wyldfyr was earlier today.

"Sorry mate." George spoke as Fred held the satchel.

"Dragons keep getting a whiff of it and they come looking." Fred said as Beau was wobbling around a bit.

"And well, this happens." George said as Beau was currently on his back making rumbling sounds almost like he was laughing.

"Where did you find this stuff anyway?" Harry asked as he knew Beau was not going to be going anywhere any time soon.

"We got it out in the woods." Fred spoke as he looked to Harry.

"Dragons were gathering in it." George continued from where Fred left off.

"And there we found them rolling around in it." Fred spoke next as Harry managed to keep up with the Twins.

"Before Professor Sprout caught us." George went on doing their twin speech.

"And is now growing it in the Green House." Fred finished and in turn Harry knew where the supply was.

Looking to Beau Harry sighed and knew what came next. "Seems like I'm sleeping down here tonight." Harry said and thus went upstairs to grab what he needed so Beau would not be alone like this for the evening.

(Scene Break Morgana's Lair)

Deep in a hidden dark lab Morgana was seen walking about. Ever since she took the body of Ariana Dumbledore, she had used the girl's beauty to her advantage in both muggle and magical worlds. One of those advantages was here as inside several tubes were Dragon Eggs gestating and having their innate Black Draconium blood brought to fore. She had spent time and money on this little project of hers both of which she had in great numbers but soon she would reach her goals.

There was a total of Eight of them in all and each of them would serve Morgana's purposes perfectly. Long ago the League of eight were here elites of elites answering only to her. But of course, after the betrayal of one whom she vested so much time and effort in and the final battle with the five Morgana lost her League of Eight. Their bonemarks were still out there but barred from her with the only clue being a map that was hidden in the tomb of the Vysox Bonemark. Her enforcer currently had the map since at the moment with the Dragons as they were the Bonemarks would be useless to her.

But soon very soon these Dragons will hatch and become her new League of Eight. Once that was done the path to the war would be open and with it, she would claim victory this time around. After all, unlike last time she now had an ace in the hole and the Death Eaters were foolishly leading her right to that ace. But until then all she can do is wait and be patient for her time to come and to help pass the time... well a girl has to have hobbies as the saying goes.

ESKK: Yes, this chapter is short but for good reason. I was running into block after block and eventually I just decided to make it a filler. Now then next chapter we start moving into the Christmas Holiday Arc and from there we start to wind down with the battle against the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Now then be sure to leave a review before leaving and as I always say here ja-ne.
