Chapter two: Dominance and Jealousy

Charlie had taken Luna and I deeper into the mountains. As the sun rose higher in the air, I started to become impatient. We had been walking for nearly two hours, and the only Dragon we had seen so far was Fianna from a distance. I was just about to give up when we came to a huge clearing. A fence had been put up across the path so that you couldn't go any further. At first, I was furious that Charlie had lead us to a dead end, but as I neared the fence, I saw that this was defiantly the place to be. It was a huge canyon, there was sparkling blue water at the bottom, and huge stone ledges jutted out from the sides. Dark caves pock marked the natural red stonewalls. In the centre of it all, perturbing from the water, a huge cylinder pillar made of the same reddish stone as the walls shot towards the sky. But the most amazing part, were the Dragons. Dragons of all shapes and sizes, colours and tones. Some with out wings, and some with out horns. All of them spectacular. Sea Dragons wove in and out of the water like giant sea snakes, their blues and greens making the water shimmer. There were Dragons in the air, and some rested on the ledges. I spotted a mother in one of the caves; she seemed to be tending to her newly hatched children, bathing them in fire. I watched the young Dragons dance in the flames in delight. My attention, however, was torn away from the mother and her babies when a piercing screech rocketed off the walls, shattering in the canyon, making me plug my ears, and smile in delight. I looked up to the sky, and Fianna swooped into the Canyon. All of the other Dragons immediately swooped out of her way to make room, and she perched herself on the top of the stone pillar. She raised her beautiful scarlet head and unleashed an explosion of flames into the air, claiming dominance over the others.

"There!" Charlie called, pointing in excitement at a large green dragon circling around the bottom of the pillar. His wings strong and sure. "Slayt is going to challenge her!" He told us excitedly, and leaned against the fence to watch the show. I turned my attention to Fianna. She too had noticed Slayt's confidence. She crouched over her perch, diamond hard claws digging into the rock, sending pebbles rolling down the sides. She extended her long neck towards her opponent and cried out to him, warning him away.

'Stay back!' She seemed to say, 'I rule here!' Ginny grinned. This was the most spectacular thing she had ever seen. She was rather worried for Fianna though, she seemed small in comparison to Slayt, though there was no question to who was more beautiful. Suddenly Slayt stopped circling, and shot into the air on an almost vertical assent. Fianna spred her shimmering scarlet and gold wings, and took off. The two dragons spun around each other higher into the air. Suddenly, Slayt sent a torrent of fire at Fianna, but she dodged it easily, and she cut through the air again, coming closer to where Luna, Charlie and I were standing. Luna backed up a bit, but Charlie and I stayed against the fence, caught up in the magnificent show. Slayt flew in for the attack again, the fire making the air sizzle, hitting Fianna on the shoulder. Fianna dropped lower, if she was going to land, she was going to need land where Me and Charlie were standing. This time, Charlie and I turned to back up. I took one step, but was stopped suddenly. My jeans had caught on the fence.

"Ginny!" Charlie called to me, glancing nervously up at the Dragons. "Come on!"

"I can't!" I cried, tugging at my leg. "I'm stuck!" I looked up to see a river of fire, coming right at me, rippling through the air in waves of heat. I screamed, and suddenly, was flying through the air, my leg yanked away from the fence. I had no idea what was going on, one second I am about to be fried, and the next, I am being carried through the air. Huge red talons with golden claws were clamed around me, holding me up, and when I looked up, I could see the golden under belly of a Dragon.

Fianna!

We came to the top of one of the canyon walls, and she dropped me off gently. She snorted black smoke and nodded at me, as if to say,

'I'll be right back.' And she took off again. I watched as she made a nose dive for Slayt, who was apparently doing his victory rounds, thinking he won. He was caught un awares as Fianna clamped Her claws around his wing joints, and her back talons dug into his tough green dragon hide, making thick dragon blood roll down the sides. She clamped her jaws around his powerful neck, and they slammed into the water. I watched in terror. What if they drowned?

"Fianna?" I whispered, my heart pounding, but soon they resurfaced. Slayt swam to the edge of the wall can clung to it, shaking water from his body, and Fianna took to the skies, flying in circles, and exploding fire into the air, obviously proud of her accomplishment. I watched until she landed next to me. I stared at her in amazment. Her right shoulder was charred black where Slayt had burnt her, but other than that, she was just glowing with pride. I held out my hand to see if she would accept a pat on the snout. She nudged her head closer and my fingers brushed against her smooth scales. The feel of her cool, red scales sent a vibrating energy up my fngers, and I brushed my hand up her snout and rubbed between her eyes.

"Good job Fianna." I whispered. "Thanks." She blew air from her nose in a huff as if to say,

'Aww! It was nothing, really!' Then she bent down and looked at me expectantly. I grinned madly and my heart went all aflutter, she was asking me to ride her! Even Charlie had never ridden a Dragon before! Every time he would try, they would go crazy and start breathing fire until he backed off. I felt so honoured. I climbed up on her back and settled my knees on her wing joint and hugged my arms around her long slender neck. She spread her wings and took off. It was the most amazing thing I ever experienced. Her powerful body just humming with energy below me, the fresh mountain air caressing my face…Nothing could ever compared to the feeling of riding a Dragin…especially one as beautiful as Fianna. She landed me back on the path, and seemed to smile at me, and she took off again, gracing the skies with her presence.

I looked up from my book as Lovegood and Weaselette walked in. Weaselette seemed to be talking, very animatedly might I add, about a dragon ride,

"And it was like I could feel her power, you know, she was just so amazing!"

"She is a pretty dragon." Lovegood agreed. I strained my ears to hear better, unabashedly sticking my nose where it didn't belong…I tend to do that.

"Yeah, too bad Malfoy owns her, she is such a beautiful Dragon! I can not believe she let me ride her!" WHAT? Fianna let that rat ride her? It noticed my hands were shaking, and I almost dropped my book in the effort to stop them. I looked out the window, the sun was setting and soon it would be dark. I slammed by book shut and disappeared up the stairs. I would wait until every one was asleep, like I did every night, and I would go see Fianna as usually…but this time with the knowledge that she had let something as foul as a Weasely ride her. I felt so betrayed.

The stars winked at me as I made my way to our meeting place. I had cut off the pedestrian path about forty minutes ago, and was making may way carefully through the rough mountain terrain. Soon I came to our regular meeting place. Fianna wasn't there yet, so I sat on a rock and waited. The moon shone down on me, and I scoweled at it. Life bloody sucked…the only thing that had mattered to me for a long time was Fianna…and Weasely was trying to wreck it…damn her! I waited only five minutes when Fianna landed silently in the cetre of the clearing, her beautiful wings scattering dust away from her, so I had to brush off my shirt before I made my way over. I took her huge, magnificent head in my arms and held her close to me, stroking her snout. Her scales were so crowded with magic, that I could feel it crawl up may fingers and arms when I stroked her.

"So, you have been giving strangers rides huh?" I ask her quietly, and she butted her head into me, sending me back a few steps. "What do you mean she's not a stranger? Have you ever seen her before?" I ask, letting go of her head. She levelled one geat green eye with mine and nodded her head. I scowled. "Oh don't give me this bull shit! You have not!" Despite my harsh words, and small smile was creeping onto my face, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I only smile for Fianna, just like she only lets me ride her…until today. I can't help but feel hurt that she let Weasely ride her. It was childish, but my heart ached, it was as if I was second place. Sensing my emotions, Fianna butted me again with her head angrily.

'You are NOT second place! Don't be stupid!' she seemed to say, and she bent low to the ground, waiting for me to get on. I sighed, running my hands over her cool scales.

"Why do you trust her?" I ask quietly, but for once, I can't read the answer in her intelligent eyes. So I climb on, and we fly in silence…enjoying the night, as it rushed over our beings.

A/N Draco obviously has issues. I mean, the only thing he really talks to is a Dragon! Soon Ginny will change all that! And Draco will learn what it is like to love a human being, not just a magical creature! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I enjoyed writing it! Please review!
