Chapter 9

Hi poeple, this chappie came to me last night when i couldn't get to sleep (bloody noisey rats!) and because it's raining herei had lots of time to writ it up .

A.N JuMiKu, is this quick enough for ya? this chappie is specially for you.


Who can people live in Romania? Was the only thought that went though Dumbledores' head. It was only a week until Hogwarts broke up for the summer holidays, so Dumbledore was used to the hot Scottish weather; but the part of Romania they were in was covered in unnatural thick snow. Parts of the meter thick snow had melted because of the dragons, making Hot Springs. Everyone in the group was talking happy expect the unspeakable who was wearing a thin dark brown full-length coat which was bottom all the way, his arms crossed over his chest and the hood covering all of his face. The coat flared from the waist, showing his thick black knee-high boots. Everyone gave the unspeakable lots of room and walked in front of him; for some reason they felt scared of him and so left him alone. The brothers, Charlie and Bill were talking about what they had been doing since they last saw each other, Black and Tonks were talking about what they might find and the Ministry representative was using his wand to make a map of where they were going and writing down notes.

"Charlie, can you tell us something about what you've found?" Dumbledore asked in his best grandfatherly voice.

"Of course sir. As you might know, Romania has the best dragon reserve in the world; but what you might not know is that for some reason dragons are … I guess you could say drawn, to Romania. If you take a dragon egg to the other side of the world, after the end hatches, the dragon will fly here as soon as it can. If it can't or was forcedly taken, it will became very aggressive and harm or kill people; but when a dragon is here, it becomes clam. No one knows why dragons do this, and its what I've been studying.

Recently I came across a cave, no one noticed it before and I only saw it because I was following a young dragon that had came form another reserve because of how aggressive it was. When I got close to the cave, the dragons became uneasy and restless. When I gotaroundten footform the mouth of the cave, I saw some glowing runes, ones that I've never seen before but they also looked very old. That's why I asked for one of the best curse-breakers."

"Did anything happen when you tried to pass the runes?" Bill asked, getting professional.

"That's the weird thing, when I tried to cross then it felt like the air had became some sort of barrier and when I touched it, I went flying backwards ten meters. We've had people watching the cave to try and see why the dragons go in there, but it's impossible. Its like, the harder you look the darker it becomes. Jamie, who was on watch duty last night said he heard what sounded like someone singing a wordless song and swore someone was watching him all night and it felt like someone was looking into his mind."

After another hour of walking, they could see the mouth of the cave. It was at the very heart of the reserve and all the dragons near them were watching them with intelligent eyes. They weren't the furious beast people thought they were. About ten feet away from the cave stood a young Russian woman who looked like she just finished school. Her hair was a dirty blond and her eyes a clear blue.

"Hey Vera. Anything happen?" Charlie asked as he walked up to her.

"Nope. Can I go back to my normal work now, this place freaks my out." She said, her Russian accent not very noticeable.

"Sure thing." Calling to Bill, Charlie showed him the strange runes on the ground. The runes were faded and Bill could only make out the outline of each one.

"I thought you said they were glowing?"

"They do, look." When Charlie's foot was in line with the runes, they started to glow an eerie blue. Each rune became clearer and the details started to become more complicated.

"This… may that some time…" Bill said, looking at a loss of what each rune said.

Something no one realized was that something was watching them. The creature was small and cute looking, but it was also very powerful. Through the blood red ruby, her master was watching in worry. They can't find this camber. If they do, they might wake me, and that would wake HIM! Came her master's voice softly in her mind.

Don't worry, I'll try to keep them out. But I think that the old one might intend to wake you and use you.

Thank you my friend. Keep an eye out, if they go get into the cave, please don't hurt them too much.

Rest master. You need your strength.

It took Bill three hours to figure out what each rune was and how they worked. Four hours after that and the barrier was down.

"Good work Bill, now I know why Gringotts sent you." Charlie said in a cheery voice.

"The sun is setting soon, so I feel it would be best if we leave the cave exploring until tomorrow." Dumbledore said. Thought the whole day, the only person who hadn't talked was the unspeakable, even when he was asked a question and it put everyone on edge.

Later that night, around eleven, everyone was asleep. The creature came closer to the clearing the humans were sleeping in. The dragons had all left as soon as the creature came out of the cave. The two humans that looked alike were awake whispering to each other.

"What do you think we'll find in there?" the oldest looking one said.

"I don't know Bill, but I hope we can keep it safe."

Safe from what?

Master, I thought I told you to rest, you need all the strength you can to keep HIM locked in there.

I'm sorry my friend, and how many times do I need to tell you to stop calling me Master, we've been friends for so long, you are to call me by the name my, my mother gave me.

Yes, you are right. I'm sorry Ashura.

"Why did you ask Dumbledore to came?" asked the older red-head.

"I didn't. Someone else must of." the youngest one said sounding very annoyed that Dumbledore was there.

Must be the old one. Ashura murmured before falling asleep.

"Charlie no need to get angry, I was just wondering."

"Sorry Bill. We better get some sleep, it's going to be a long day tomorrow."


Hope ya like it. Review and tell what ya think.
