Harry looked up as Hermione returned.

"Hey, where'd you go?" He asked as she came over to him.

"I just went for a walk. You know I saw the weirdest thing."

Harry looked at her, "This is coming from the Witch who is going out with The Boy Who Lived." She hit him on the arm.

"Shh you and listen to me. There were four people jumping across the rooftops"

"That'a be Ranma and his friends." Came a low voice. Harry and Hermione turned to look at him. It was an old man, slightly shorter then Hermione, and he was wearing wizarding robes. Harry stood.

"Who are you?" Harry asked.

The old man looked at him, "my name's Kann, with a 'K'." he smiled at them. "And you two are Harry and Hermione, both with an 'H'" Hermione giggled.

"Are you a wizard?" she asked smiling.

"Yup, c'mon I got summit to show you." He turned and walked down the path, Harry and Hermione followed him.

Kann led them to a warehouse, he wandered over to a door and tapped it three times with his wand. The small door opened and he motioned for them to follow him, which they did.

Once inside they both gasped.

"It's beautiful!"

"Aw, it's so cute."

Both Kann and Hermione looked at Harry. "Cute?" Hermione asked.

Harry nodded, "Yup, cute."

In the warehouse was a dragon, it must have only been a few months old because it was only 20ft tall. Its scales were a deep dark green and it had silver eyes.

"Very Slytherin." Hermione said, taking in the colour scheme.

Kann smirked, "Well he has to be,"

They both looked at him, "Why?" Harry asked.

"Because he's yours." Kann said to Harry.

Harry blinked.

"er...what?"

Kann smiled at him, "Harry Potter, since your defeat of the Dark Lord Voldemort, you are the only remaining Slytherin heir. This dragon once belonged to Salazar Slytherin himself, he will grow no bigger then this, but will be loyal to you until you die, where he will then be loyal to your child."

Harry blinked.

"er...what?"

Hermione hit him on the arm. "The dragon is yours, you are Slytherin's heir. Deal with it."

Harry blinked.

Harry shrugged.

"Fairy snuff." He looked at the dragon. "So what do we do with -"

"Chalmers, with a 'C'." Kann supplied.

"Chalmers?"

"He goes with you of course," Kann said.

"Er...Kann," Hermione started, "We're staying in a hotel...and I don't think they'll be too keen about having a dragon as a new resident."

Kann waved them off, "Salazar also left all his houses, manors and everything else to his true heir."

"Wow." Hermione said. "so where are we staying?"

"He has a home here in Japan, Chalmers will take you there." Kann turned and walked over to Chalmers. "You're going home." He looked at Harry and Hermione, "And you're taking the Heir and his Lady with you okay."

Chalmers looked at Kann, "No need to treat me like a child Kann."

Harry and Hermione fell over. The dragon could talk.

Kann laughed, "I'm sorry old friend."

Chalmers flicked Kann with his tail lightly and he looked at Harry and Hermione, who were still sitting on the floor.

"Come on you two, up you get."

Harry stood first and helped Hermione up.

"You ... you can talk!" Harry said.

"Yes," Chalmers replied.

"Well the dragon's of today, well, can't." Hermione said moving towards Chalmers.

He looked thoughtful.

"They can, all dragon's can, they just don't. Well come on you two, lets go home." He walked over to Harry and Hermione.

"Just sit up between my wings."

Harry hugged Hermione and with a 'bing' they appeared on the back of Chalmers.

Harry waved, "Bye Kann!"

Hermione screamed as Chalmers leant back on his hind legs and took off through the ceiling and out into the sky.
