Looks like I'm going to have to summarize this one! Well, what happed was Harry's egg hatched, and now he has Chazor, a black dragon. Harry and Ginny trained as everyone else practiced elf magic. They came back to find Mary and her dragon, Lex. Now… on with chapter 7!
Chapter 7 – Six Young Dragons and Leaving Forever
That afternoon was spent learning elf magic with Adila. She showed them how to do a spell, and then made them practice until they got it. Until then, they could have no breaks.
Today they were learning how to cast spells to protect others, mainly their dragons. Only Harry, Ginny, and Mary could complete the spell. Everyone knew that the spell required energy that you had to have trained hard for, or a dragon's power. Being a Mage helped as well.
They finished when Adila said it was time for dinner, allowing Hermione, Zach and John to go without completing the spell. They ate a dinner made by Harry, Ginny and Mary to make the other three feel better for not having their dragons yet. It pulled the three out of any unhappiness they had, and insisted they cleaned the dishes. The teens then went back to the room they slept in to see another surprise. Curled up on John's bed was a bright yellow dragon. He stared at it stunned until the others pushed him towards the small dragon. It lifted its head to look at John and they all knew the exchange that was going on between the silent figures.
Suddenly, John started hopping up and down like a little kid in a candy store. The other three dragons half ran, half glided to the other dragon. John then ran to the other teens and said excitedly "He said his name is Jargon! Isn't this cool? Now I've got my dragon!" Everyone laughed at his antics, but Hermione and Zach didn't laugh as hard. Everyone noticed them and settled down. Harry walked closer to the new dragon to get a closer look.
Just like the others, his head was triangular, but was almost a point like Lex. His eyes barely sunk into his head, and blue eyes gazed out, scanning all the dragons around him. On each side of his head, three long, thin spikes fanned out, and two large spikes protruded from the top of his head. His neck was thin and short, with golden plates on the bottom. These plates continued all along the bottom of his body. He had long muscular legs, ending in wide feet with white claws. His wings were yellow on the bones and the material that made the wing was gold. His body was small, but muscled. His back legs were shorter than the front, but equally muscled. His tail was smooth with gleaming scales. His tail was the only one that did not have spikes on it. He stood and then leapt off the bed, extending his wings and gliding to the floor. Jargon then did an odd twist and jumped straight to the side, landing squarely on John's left shoulder. John was caught off balance and almost fell over before snapping up straight again. He beamed at the group.
"These dragons are pretty heavy for being so small!" He said. Then his glee slowly disappeared as he turned and looked at Jargon. They all knew that the two were starting a conversation, so they went about doing things.
Harry was having fun teasing Ginny by flicking her with small cords of shadow. He kept doing it until she shot a tongue of flame at him, wrapping around his chest, holding his arms against his side. She grinned evilly at him and walked right up to his face.
"Say sorry, or this'll get hot she said, indicating the flame wrapped around him. Harry just grinned and stuck his tongue out at her. She frowned at him. "I warned you!" She giggled. Harry's smile was gone when he felt the flames around him heating up.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry Ginny!" Harry afraid, scared Ginny would cook him. Ginny's evil grin came back and the flames cooled, but didn't leave his body.
"How about an 'I am sorry kiss'? She asked evilly, getting even closer to Harry. Before he could stop himself, he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. Ginny was caught off guard and the flames around Harry disappeared. He quickly mustered his strength and focused on a five foot area around Ginny. He held his hand out and she suddenly disappeared in the dome of shadows. She shrieked, making Harry grin wider.
"Having fun in there Ginny?" Harry asked through the veil of darkness in front of him. Only he and Chazor could see Ginny, and they were scared when they saw her face. She looked ready to kill, and she was pointing her hand in the direction Harry's voice had come from. He dropped the dome and disappeared into Ginny's shadow on the floor. She looked around and saw nothing. She calmed her self then looked around the room.
From his hiding place in Ginny's shadow, Harry saw her face now calmed and slowly came back out of the shadows. As soon as he was solid again, he was pushed to the ground and felt Ginny's hands tickling at his sides. The tickle fight continued until both were panting. They sat up, still chuckling. They were just standing up when two cracks sounded through the room. Everyone's heads snapped to the last two eggs, placed on Zach's bed. They both had a quickly growing crack around them. Everyone jumped towards the bed and stood over the eggs. They watched as the eggs opened and two dragons crawled out. A blue one, Zach's, squeaked as a brown one, Hermione's, unfurled its wings and looked up at the group with intelligent, but oddly white eyes.
Both had the trademark dragon head. Triangular with eyes sunken into the head. Hermione's had two large fangs protruding from the front of its mouth, ending in sharp points just below the chin. It had spikes coming out randomly, just above the eyes and to the back of the head where two large spikes stuck out, curving down ever so slightly. Starting at the top of the neck, a line of spikes traveled all the way down the body ending at tail. It had a thin small neck and attached to a smooth, strong chest. It had long, slender legs with small feet with menacing black claws. It had brown wings, with the material a slight red. The back legs were longer and strong looking. The tail was slender and had what appeared to be a spiked club on the end. It padded across the bed and jumped onto Hermione's shoulder. She smiled and ran a hand along the smooth neck of the dragon. They knew it was telling Hermione its name so the group patiently waited for her.
"She says her name is Cirothe." Hermione said plainly, still entranced by the small wonder. Cirothe puffed some smoke and held her head up, looking at the group. When she was done inspecting the teens, Cirothe jumped down to the floor and joined the other dragons. Everyone now looked at the blue dragon. Zach already had it on his shoulder and looked at everyone.
"He said his name is Hrontore." Zach beamed at everyone before letting the dragon crawl down his arm to be with the rest of the dragons. Harry got a good look at the dragon when he hit the floor. He was big. Bigger than the rest of the dragons. Just a few inches short of three feet maybe. He was a deep blue, but the scales on the bottom of his neck, belly and tail were dark yellow. His head was a triangle shape, coming to a rounded point. His teeth poked out from his jaw for a moment, but then disappeared. At the back of his head there were short worm-like tentacles, but they were stiff and had a miniscule spike. Behind these were two yellow fins, probably for steering underwater. Behind the fins were two large spikes that curved inwards slightly, but noticeably. His neck was large, with small fins spaced evenly along his back. His chest and entire body for that matter were much bigger than the other dragons. His legs were an average length Harry guessed, but looked extremely strong. At the elbow joints, a small, sharp spike poked out. His winds had blue arm parts, while the wing material was light blue. His back legs were massive, muscles clearly standing out from under the scales. The feet were large as well with big white claws. His tail was proportional to the rest of his body, think and long. The underside was protected by the large yellow scales and the end of his tail was adorned with a large, light blue fin. Hrontore walked up to the other dragons and they all had a moment of silence and no movement. Then Harry felt five different stabs at his mind. He let them pass over him, sensing Chazor had something to do with it.
"Ortinbras? What was that?" Harry heard. Everyone looked at Ginny startled when another voice entered their minds.
"Alright everyone. Can you all hear me?" Harry heard Chazor ask, all the teens nodded. "Good, we, as in we dragons, have fused or minds and in the process, opened access to all of your minds. You can block everyone just by pushing at them in your mind. You'll get used to it. We figured this would be a good idea for battles or just mischief, which we will help in any way to accomplish." Chazor gave an odd smirk at this. Everyone agreed and they spent the rest of the night in silence, or so it appeared. They learned how to talk privately to a certain person through the link or to block everyone. They went to sleep, dragon on pillow, going anywhere their dreams took them.
The next morning they woke to Adila jumping around the room, looking at all the dragons. She told them to hurry and get dressed so she could watch them practice their newer mage powers. This continued for the whole day, the new dragons teaching their respective Mage new powers, and they dragons that had already had one practice continued teaching and practicing. The next day was spent with Honruh, training hard with their custom weapons, and when they sparred they incorporated their abilities into it, making for very interesting fights.
The third day after that was spent with Adila, practicing more elf magic. They continued this pattern for the next two and a half years, steadily growing stronger.
(A\N- I'm not gonna get into that training, it would make the story repetitive and boring. I'm just gonna skip over it to the last day. )
Finally after three grueling years of training, the three teens were ready to head home. They looked nothing like the way they did when they first arrived at the cave. Any fat on their bones had been stripped off and replaced with rock hard muscle. The boys looked dangerous, yet amazingly handsome, from the girls' perspective. The girls, while having muscle themselves, looked amazing. Yes, when they got home, all friends would squirm uncomfortably when they saw any of the Mages.
Not only had the teens, now eighteen or seventeen changed, so had their dragons. The shortest of the group, Lex, stood at ten feet tall at the shoulder. Her wingspan was at least fifty feet. And she looked small next to Hrontore. He was a massive beast, standing eighteen feet at the shoulder. Adila and Honruh had to use enlargement spells on the entire cave system to accommodate the larger dragons. At the moment, they were all packing anything they had into rucksacks they conjured up. Adila and Honruh stood in the corned, saddened that the company they had become accustomed to was leaving. The girls were no better off, sobbing that they would never see their mentors, more like parents, ever again. The boys just wore solemn faces, only shedding a few tears. In a short time they were packed and standing around Adila and Honruh. They all nodded, afraid of bursting into tears if they talked. Adila gave them each the scale they had picked up to arrive, and were soon feeling a magical tug. They waved sadly before, themselves and their dragons disappeared.
AWWWW! It's so sad! I can't believe I can write that and still be in a good mood. Anyway, there's chapter 7! Hoped you liked it! Now how about a little fun?
Q: Should Hermione stay with Ron or hook up with one of the guys? If so, who? The options are Zach or John, or another character from HP. Give a good reason if it's another character!
Next chapter will be fun I think smiles evilly
