CHAPTER 5
Harry's homework, had he not just failed it, was to raise a Exploding Austrian Dragon to further understand the dangers of such an illegal process. Little did he know that upon placing the dragon egg down on his bed and changing into his more Muggle-like clothes the egg would explode into a million pieces spraying his room with snot like yellow fluids and breaking his window, desk lamp and mirror.
"Are you okay in there ?" Came the voice of a complete stranger. Harry panicked. Was the stranger a Muggle ?
"I expect Harry just broke his TV again, right Harry ?" Ron's cover up was lame but Harry went along.
"Yep," He said, "That's what happened, I'm so clumsy." Harry hoped that would do it, a yellow blob of goo fell from the ceiling hitting him on top of the head. After a while he heard the front door close and his bedroom door opened.
"Whoa !" Ron exclaimed as he stared at what looked like the inside of Fluffy's nose. Harry groaned. He had failed yet another simple test. Or had he ?
"Hey look !" Ron added pointing at the ceiling and there sat the baby Australian. It was pale yellow in colour and had suction pads on it's feet. Ron concluded that it was the ugliest Dragon he had ever saw. And then the doorbell rang.
"You get it and I'll tidy," Harry muttered and Ron ran to the door.
"Who is it ?" Ron asked in a almost singing tone. Jerald sighed. He had heard an explosion.
"It's me," He said and Ron slid the door open. "What blew up ?" Ron gestured for him to come in. Through the door Jerald could see the incident.
"Whose pet dragon sneezed ?" He joked.
"That's closer than you would expect." Harry added as he whipped out his wand. He quickly tidied before washing his hair. When he returned Jerald and Ron were in deep discussion over a game of wizards chess.
"I say we have to tell her," Jerald said as Harry entered. Ron moved a rook.
"If we tell her and she doesn't believe us," Ron added, "Then she'll hate us."
"Tell who what ?" Harry asked as he slumped himself down on the sofa.
"Tell Hermione that Will's married." Jerald blurted. It was clear Ron hadn't intended on telling Harry. He stared bullets at Jerald.
"Whose Will ?" Harry was as confused as he had been in the early Order of the Phoenix days. "Is he the Muggle that was just here ?"
Ron moaned, he would have to explain, "He's Hermione's new boyfriend."
"But he's married."
"Exactly," Jerald added as the baby snot dragon landed on his lap. "That's why we have to tell her."
"No," Harry said, suddenly a grin appeared on his face, "We try and make him slip up."
