Chapter 1 Beatrice to Charlie
It has been one week since both Charlie and Beatrice worked together studying dragons.
They even got to know each other a bit more. Charlie learned that Beatrice went Ilvermorny and was in the Thunderbird house. Charlie also discovered that American witches and wizards call muggles no-majs, she was keeper for the Thunderbird quidditch team and was even drafted first to the Clevland Browns Quidditch team. "Why didn't you go to Clevland and play quidditch their?" He asked.
"3 reason, 1 Clevland is a horrible place, 2 the team wouldn't trade me to the team I wanted to play for back home in Idaho, and 3 there is a curse on the team supposedly."
"Yeah, supposedly after a coach won the Quidditch league cup was denied a raise and was terminated so he cursed the team so that the team will never win the league cup or championship ever again and the curse is so strong that it spread to no-maj sports that use it as home field with the quidditch team as well as the muggle sports team that plays with the same name as the quidditch team."
Charlie was laughing. "Your Joking?"
"Nope, the team hasn't won anything since 1980 same with the no-maj sports teams that play and share their name there so the stadium is a factory of sadness."
Charlie continued laughing with Beatrice. "Why share a name with a muggle sports team?"
"Perfect cover for witches and wizards because we live alongside very closely to no-majs and live in the same apartment buildings and same muggle neighborhoods."
They both continued laughing so hard that he was on the ground clutching his side. "So what brought you here to Romania?" He asked.
"I always loved magical creatures, but dragons have always had my highest interest as I studied all the magical creatures back home." She responded.
"So what got you into magical creatures in general?"
"My mom." She said. "She was a ranger for MACUSA, her main job was to protect the creatures and make sure the no-majs don't stumble upon them."
"Was?" Charlie asked.
Beatrice frowned and looked down. "She was murdered by three members from the Isolationist Society for marrying my dad who is a no-maj."
"I'm sorry." Charlie said holding her hand.
"It's alright it has been 9 years since then, but I still miss her, I know dad does to and was reluctant to send me to Ilvormorny." She said with a little bit of sadness.
"What convinced your dad?"
"The current headmaster, professor Ozmandius Schmidt, talked with my dad, but back then he was the defense against the dark arts teacher, and brought it up that I needed to learn how to control of my magic, the professor Schmidt became headmaster in my sixth year."
"So how did your parents meet anyway?"
She smiled slightly. "Before she joined the Rangers she was an auror trying to catch a prolific member of the Isolationist Society who murdered two Mexican wizards, but was hit by a spell that injured her and knocked her unconscious." She started. "Dad saw the fight but only told my mom that she found her unconscious and took her into his apartment above his bar."
Beatrice had a serene smile on her face before continuing. "My dad was hoping to be an EMT but his older brother died in the Vietnam War when it just got started so he had to take over the bar when grandma and grandpa died, he helped heal her wound and they would eventually start a relationship after she resigned from the aurors and worked as a ranger to the magical sanctuary near the town my dad lived."
"So when did your dad find out that she was a witch?"
"He kind always knew." She started. "She told him after he proposed, and he told her he saw the fight."
"Ah!"
"Mom and Dod got married and I came around one year later."
Suddenly the door to the cafeteria slammed opened. "Weasley, Cooper!" A one-armed man yelled. "Quite the flirting and help the rest of us, a nest full of Ukrainian Ironbellies are about to hatch it's every witch and wizard on deck."
Charlie and Beatrice apparated to where they are supposed to go. Around 17 people were staring at the side. It was a cliff side overlooking a mother Ironbelly. She had deep red eyes, Metallic Grey color, immense wingspan, and was 5'6ft tall. She was on her nest with four eggs under her. After waiting for around 10-15 minutes one of the eggs cracked then a head popped out. One by one the dragon the dragons hatched out of their eggs, it was truly beautiful until… "Alright you two time to spread your wings, go check the health of the newly hatched babies." The one-armed caretaker ordered them in thick Russian accent.
Beatrice and Charlie looked at each other. "Come on we don't have all day." The man kept shouting.
"Yes sir." Both replied.
They made their way down and waited for the mother dragon to leave and hunt for food for her babies. Charlie and Beatrice ran to the nest. "Let's check their pulse."
They each checked the pulse of two dragons each. Both looked at each other and quickly apparated to the cliff. The one-armed man came to them, "So?"
"All of them are healthy sir." They both said at the same time.
The crowd cheered, "Welcome to the team."
"I knew that you two were perfect for the job."
"Good!" The one-armed man shouted turning away. "Oh and call me Ukrotitel, and this is as friendly as I will get."
Beatrice smiled and went up to Charlie and whispered in his ear. "He complains as much as a pukwudgie."
Charlie chuckled, yes he learned what pukwudgies were and also found them hilarious.
