Destiny- The First Year
Chapter 11: Moonlight Adventures
"Okay Harry, concentrate. Now I'd like you to make this teddy bear do a back flip and then a front flip!" Remus told Harry "Now remember this could be a lot harder than making it do either a back flip or a front flip separately. Mainly because if you don't concentrate properly the bear could do one of two things, it could either do the wrong flip or try to do both at once! Okay are you ready?" Remus asked Harry
"Yup!" Harry said confidently
Concentrating hard on the image of the teddy doing first a back flip and then a front flip, Harry stretched out his hand and motioned for the back flip then a few minutes later a front flip, which the bear performed delicately before flopping back lifelessly onto the table.
"Well done Harry!" Remus smiled "you are really getting the hand of this now! Wandless magic can be very hard even for great wizards but your natural talent is defiantly working for you!" Remus commented
"Thanks!" Harry smiled back
"Well you can head up to griffindor tower now I'll tell you when I next see you when we'll meet up next!" Remus smiled
"Ok see you later!" Harry grinned back scooping up his school bag and heading for the office door.
Harry reached the portrait hole and slipped inside of the common room looking around he spotted his friends by the fire where they had saved him a seat.
"Hi!" he said flopping down in the armchair and chucking his back down.
"Hi Harry!" Hermione smiled looking up from her book
"Are you lot ready for tonight?" Harry asked quietly so no one else in the common room could hear
"What are we doing tonight?" Ron asked confused
"Exploring the forest of course!" Charlie told him irritably "duh! What else were we talking about last night!"
"Oh yeah right." He said
"Yeah I'm ready!" Hermione said
"Me too!" Agreed Charlie
"Okay lets wait till the crowd in here thins then I will get my invisibility cloak and you guys can sneak out while I get it and I will follow you. Then as we agreed we wait until we step out side before we transform and then still under the cloak we head for the forest where we can take it off and put it in Charlie's saddle pack thingy she'll be wearing!" Harry whispered
They didn't have to wait long for the common room to empty a little. After an hour, only six other students were still in the common room so Harry head up the stairs to grab the cloak and the others headed out of the common room onto the landing outside. Harry quickly joined them and soon they were on the outskirts of the forest ready to enter it. Charlie led the way followed by Ron, Hermione and finally Harry they entered the forest at a run (or a cantor) but as the trees rushed passed a loud voice boomed out from down a path to their left which made them all stop in their tracks.
"Who's there? That you bane?"
Harry quickly transformed and the others followed suit as a huge figure came round the corner.
"... I've got a bow..." he said loudly "I know how ta use it!"
Harry stepped out knowing there was no escape and was immediately thrown to the floor by a huge dog.
" Off fang off! Sorry 'bout that 'e gets a little over excit... 'Arry! Wot are you and yer friends doin' in 'ere?" said the concerned voice of Hagrid
"Er ...we er..." Harry began
"We got lost!" Hermione piped up
"Oh" He said "easy fing to do in 'ere! Follow me I'll show yer out!" Hagrid said cheerfully
"Thanks" Harry said standing up and stroking the dog between the ears.
They followed Hagrid to a cabin on the edge of the forest
"Would you like too come in for a cup o' tea?" he asked hopefully
"Yeah that would be nice!" Hermione said politely as she shoved Ron into the cabin after Hagrid
They were sat around Hagrid's table drinking huge mugs of tea when Harry heard a noise from the fireplace.
"Er Hagrid what's that in your fireplace?" he asked nervously
"Er that it's er nothing.... Yeah nothing" Hagrid said nervously
Charlie stood up and walked over to the fireplace
"That's a dragons egg!" she said confidently "where did you get a dragons egg from?" she asked Hagrid who joined her at the fireplace
"I er won it" Hagrid said "please don't tell anyone!" he whimpered as he picked up the egg using a pair of oven gloves and put it on the table.
"I know what that is!" Ron said quickly "My brother Charlie works with these is Romania, it's a Hungarian horntail! There really rare!"
"Look its hatching!" Harry said transfixed
Huge cracks were appearing in the shell of the egg and as they all watched the dragon stuck out a wing and then a foot and then it threw the whole shell off scattering it in several different directions.
"Cool!" Charlie said looking at the baby dragon
"Woah!" Ron mouthed as he stared transfixed
"Ahh he knows 'ho is mummy Is!" Hagrid sat as he stroked the dragon.
The baby dragon decided this moment was a good time to spit out some sparks which set Hagrid's beard on fire! Harry, Ron, Charlie and Hermione laughed as Hagrid poured a mug of water on the fire putting it out.
"Oh isn't he a beau'y!" Hagrid said happily, "I think I'll call him Norbert"
"Hey Hagrid since you like creatures of all shapes and sizes do you know anything about that huge three headed dog in the castle?" Harry asked hopefully
"How d'you find out about fluffy?" Hagrid asked
"Fluffy?" Ron laughed "now I've heard everything!"
"To cut a long story short we er stumbled upon it!" Charlie said with a smile "so what's it doing in the school?"
"Fluffy's mine I let him to Dumbledore to guard the..." Hagrid started
"Yes?" Charlie, Harry, Ron and Hermione chorused
"Nah I cant say, its between Dumbledore and Nicolas Flammel nothing to do with you lot!" Hagrid said shiftily
"Oh thanks anyway!" Harry said as he made a mental note of the name Hagrid mentioned
"Hey do you want a hand with Norbert?" Charlie asked mischievously
"That would be nice!" Hagrid smiled
"Two of us could come and help you each night after school!" Charlie smiled
"Thanks" Hagrid smiled "blimey look at the time you better get back to the castle it's nearly midnight!"
"Come on then let's go!" Hermione said
"Don't get caught!" Hagrid said
"We wont!" Harry grinned "see you soon!"
"Bye!" Hagrid said as they left his cabin
"Quickly under the cloak!" Harry whispered once they we out of the door
He pulled it over them and they made their way back up to the castle.
A/n I Hope you all enjoyed that! Thanks to all my reviewers!
I'd like to add that I am changing Charlie's unicorn into a pony( it is still named Moonlight) because then it's easier for me because I can write more about it as I love horses and ponies. She now also has a Shetland pony to called Thunder, as I know ponies like company! I have re-newed chapters that have talked about Charlie's unicorn so now they talk about her two ponies! So just a little note for those people who have read the rest of the story in case I start talking about them and none of you have a clue what I'm on about!
Also for the sake of one reviewer I'd like to add that Sirius isnt married! If you had read the first story in the series you would see that Sirius had never been married and also ( not that it's in the first story just a little background info here!) he was in a very short relationship with Charlie's mum WHO WAS A MUGGLE he had no clue he had a daughter till she turned up on the door step of his house with a letter explaining about her.
Thanks again to everyone who reviewed!
