kittengurl: Yeah, sorry about the whole delay, but I cranked this one out.
conrima: Yeah, I know its been a while, but there were certain things making this take a bit, so its gonna be shorter than usual.
Lyndsay-Marie: Kevin's dragon already has its mate in Blaise's dragon.
Orange Horizons: Thank you. It's always good to see a new reviewer.
ficfan: Woah, glad you think that about the story, though I'm not about the pro, I have typos that are kinda obvious except to me 'till someone points them out.
Kirei/ GothicPoet3: I'm glad to hear you'd like to use some of my chars. I personally love them all and introductions of chars are fun, you can mold the char into whatever you want.
Lyra Skywalker: When are they going to bond? Hmm . . . you know, I don't think I've gotten there myself yet.
Iamanta: Hehe, don't we all want Harry and Draco? And I agree with you on the whole dragon and tattoo thing. Also, congratulations! Your reviewer number 150!! This chapter is for you! [balloons shower down along with confetti]
Sorry about the delay folks, but I've had alot of things going on. I've had school starting up, comp probs, homework, classes, someone in my family dying, and limited comp time. Not to mention a huge case of writers block. So I'm sorry if this one is shorter than normal, but I wanted to crank this out for all you readers.
Also, for those of you who haven't figured it out yet and are wondering why this is chapter ten when chapter nine isn't up, look at the last page and you'll find chapter nine. I put it up some time around the end of July.
Finally, this chapter is dedicated to reviewer Iamanta.
Chapter 10
Blaise and the gang quickly became inseparable and could, more often than not, be found in the library huddled over some book. Kevin and Blaise were happy together, and didn't care what other people thought.
Draco was getting better with the whole him having to be with Harry. He was actually beginning to develop some feelings, which was just happening in time because Harry seemed to be tired lately, though other than that, he couldn't see that the short amount of time to the deadline for them to bond was nearing was affecting him at all.
The day for the classes Harry was doing to teach a little, not too much, but enough to know what they were and that they were not like normal dragons had arrived. The council of the head KDs and their riders had decided it was time for this, as they would be needed later on in the war. They could answer anything except where the KDs and their riders lived.
The classes were all surprised to see not their usual teacher in standing in front of them, but Harry, Draco, Kevin, and Blaise. Harry grinned at Blaise and nodded. The students' attention was quickly caught by a burst of blue flame.
Harry smiled at the class. "Good now that we have your attention we can begin. We are teaching you today as we have a special subject for you. Today, you will be learning about dragons." A roll of eyes was seen. "Now don't give me that, yes I saw that. These are not just any dragons. These are special dragons called Kindred Dragons. And yes they are here and yes you will be able to see them . . ." A hand was raised. "Yes?"
"Uh, won't they hurt us?"
"No, not at all. Kindred Dragons are dragons that love people, with a few exceptions of course. So, now we'll bring them out." He picked a box up off a tree stump and opened it, pulling out some things, the students couldn't see what. He handed one to Blaise, one to Kevin, one to Draco, and kept one for himself. Then, they turned and set them down.
Before the students' eyes the things grew into dragons, all except for Harry's that is, who had nothing happening behind him at all, in fact there seemed to be nothing behind him period. Harry moved to the side and grinned, gesturing to the side of him. "As you know, my name is Harry Potter. Today you will learn a little about just what a Kindred Dragon Rider is. They can be easily identified by a tattoo that they all have. The tattoo itself is a dragon in the color of the rider's dragon. These cannot be reproduced, so don't try. There is also another tattoo that a rider can have, but not every one of them has it. It's a shield and a sword. Kevin and I have both, where as Draco and Blaise only have the dragon." They showed the students the tattoo. "Okay, so next we have to actual dragons. This is Alexander. He's . . ."
Draco tapped his shoulder, and said, "He's invisible."
Harry sighed and turned around glaring. "Alright funny guy. Back to normal." Alexander popped into sight. "Thank you."
The students gaped and gasped.
"Now as I was saying this is Alexander. He is a black Kindred. Blacks are the biggest of all colors. Blacks also have the power of going invisible and shift shapes with a thought," Alexander demonstrated this, then changed back. Harry stepped back.
Draco stepped forward. "I have a white dragon whose name is Jennifer, she has the same abilities, just she's white." Draco stepped back.
Kevin stepped forward. "I have a blue named Nicholas. Nicholas is blue because he has control over water." To demonstrate this a spout of water shot up and then disappeared. Kevin then stood back.
Blaise stepped forward. "I have a red named Emma. ((A/N: Always loved that name.)) She has control over fire." A spout of fire once again burst up. Blaise stepped back, smiling over the look of awe on the people's faces.
Harry stepped forward again. "There are two other colors: browns, who control earth, and yellows, who control wind. Each color has a mate who is in the opposite element, or in the case of blacks and whites, the other color."
A female Ravenclaw raised her hand. "It's obvious that Kevin and Blaise are mates, but who's yours? I mean the only other rider here is Draco . . . oh." She got the look on her face of someone who just found out a secret. The rest of the class looked confused still.
Harry grinned at the stunned girl. "You've got it Miss Beauchamp, though I never doubted you would figure it out." The girl blushed at the compliment.
Draco nodded. "Feel free to share it with the rest of the class." At Harry's shocked look, he smiled and leaned in. "It's about time people learned about this anyway."
The girl cleared her throat and stood up, "Draco and Harry are . . . mates." She blushed and as she sat down, the class erupted in whispers and talk.
"Thank you Miss Beauchamp. Well, I believe the time is up for now. We will be glad to answer questions next class. You may leave for lunch now."
The students stood up, gathered their stuff and left. Harry turned to Draco. "You do know this means your father will find out and so will the Almighty Lord Pain in the Arse."
Draco snickered at the nickname, "I like that. I might just have to use that. Can you imagine . . ." He saw the look on Harry's face. "Okay, okay. Yes I know that my father and Voldemort will find out. I'm okay with it. We will be able to handle this." He put his arm around Harry and pulled him towards the Great Hall.
Harry smiled brightly, things were definitely looking up, and for now he could forget how all this was about to get 'interesting' when Lucius and Voldemort found out.
