You know, I was reading this story to catch up and got so excited that I was disappointed when it ended! ;P Okay, I'm just kidding. But I am in the mood to get going on this again. READ and RATE please!
Danna looked at each of them individually, piercing them with her gaze. "What I am about to reveal to you must go no farther than this circle. It is essential to your safety and to mine that this remain a secret. Do I have your word?" When they each nodded, she took a deep breath, then leaned forward, lowering her voice so that it could not possibly be overheard. "There is war brewing."
"Duh!" Ron said, leaning back. "We've known that since our first year here and You-Know-Who really decided to have at Harry."
Danna shook her head. "I know you know that Voldemort is trying to kill Harry, but this is more serious. He's enlisting aide from other creatures now. The Sorting Hat was not speaking cryptically when it referred to the Wyrms as your enemies. If anything, it was an understatement. Voldemort has contacted several of the more prominent Wyrm colonies and enlisted them to his side. We dragons cannot sit idly by and allow that to happen. We will fight the Wyrms and any who ally with them."
"Wait, wait," Charlie said, "we dragons? What do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what I said," Danna replied. She relaxed her control over her body carefully and her eyes slitted. It was a relief to her, since constant dilation was giving her a headache from all the light she had to allow in. She re-exerted her control after making sure that they had all seen. "I am what is known as a Shatayan among dragons."
Charlie stared at her. "You don't look like a dragon to me...but your eyes..." He continued to study her.
"Let me explain," she said calmly. "My father...well, he was a bit interesting. You see, he was a wizard and he mastered a very difficult spell. He learned an Animagus spell that changed him into a dragon."
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Charlie broke in.
Danna flashed him an irate look. "I assure you, it is not impossible. Would not some say that Harry's survival of the Death curse was impossible?" They nodded thoughtfully. "Well, from what I understand, my father enjoyed so much his change as a dragon that he was more dragon than human after that. He found the clutch of my mother and began courting her...a most unusual affair that involves lots of fire. Being a human wizard, he was able to outdo the other males with his fire and he and my mother mated."
"Dragons mate for life," Charlie murmured quietly.
Danna nodded agreement. "I was the result of their union. I can change between human and dragon form and am able to use both forms of power granted to their respective species, though I will never be as strong as a full blooded of either species. That is why I am here. I have more or less mastered Draconic Magic and am here to learn Human Magic." She turned to Harry. "And to protect you and offer draconic assistence against the Wyrms."
"Me?" Harry asked, "Why me?"
"Are you not the leader of the resistance to Voldemort?"
"No, I'm just a student. I don't think anyone is organizing an army against Voldemort."
Danna stared at him in horror. "Are you joking?"
"No. Everyone in the Wizarding World thinks he's dead, except for us and Dumbledore."
Danna looked around at them. "Then we are doomed, unless something can be done quickly."
