Disclaimer: see chapter one
Author's note: No real action in this chapter. I'm still waiting for a response from Light Rises, in order to get the next couple of scenes up. (No hurry though, Light! I wouldn't be able to post right away anyway, with school and everything!) And yes, I know it's short.
Responses to reviews: I didn't GET any reviews for the last chapter! Is anyone reading?! REVIEW!!! Remember what I said earlier on. No reviews, no updates!

Chapter 5
The next day, Bowen rode into a nearby village to buy food and supplies. While he was gone, Draco and the Hogwarts students discussed what would happen next. How would Harry, Ron, Hermione, Kirsti and Arlen get home, and when?
They didn't get very far with that discussion, but Kirsti suggested seeking out a local magic-user and ask them for help. The problem was, no witch or wizard in their right mind would parade their ability in front of Muggles, so they'd have a time finding anyone able to send them home.
Eventually, they settled for badgering Draco for stories of when he was a hatchling. After a while, Draco caved and told them what he was like as a child.
"I was a fairly rebellious hatchling. Young ones weren't supposed to leave the nest alone, but I didn't listen, and found myself a long way from home in the middle of a small village. The villagers hadn't seen a dragon close up before, so I got a lot of strange stares. After a while, an old man wearing robes came up to me and told me to follow him. He took me to his house on the outskirts and introduced himself as Garrett Liam*, a wizard. He contacted my parents, who weren't exactly pleased to hear I'd run off. A while after I went back home, Garrett disappeared. I never did find out what happened to him..." He got so carried away with his story, that he didn't even hear Bowen come back. Bowen cleared his throat. Everyone jumped and turned to face him.
"I have the supplies."
"Thank you, Bowen," Draco answered.
*Another name from the list of names Light Rises provided me. (Thanks again!) Garrett means 'to watch' and Liam means 'determined guardian'.
