The first ride they went on was a roller coaster, not a muggle one but a wizarding one. Magical roller coasters were much scarier as the tracks are invisible, which means you have no idea which direction you'll be going next.

Luckily the lines weren't very long to get on rides, as it was in the middle of a school term. They were strapped into their seats nice and firmly and waited for the ride to start. Amanda actually felt rather nervous when the ride started moving forwards, the tracks were black for the next few metres then they turned invisible.

The ride really upset Amanda's stomach and she refused to go on any more roller coasters, "I'm choosing the next ride and it is going to be a peaceful."

The eventually found a ride that was to Amanda's likings, it was a peaceful boat ride in a circular pool surrounding a little island which had cute little animals, like more Tasmanian Devils and their babies, which were so adorable.

After another hour or two of rides they met Hagrid back at the front gates before heading out to the car park where a shuttle bus picked up a bunch of witches and wizards to take to a local magical hotel, where each of the three had there own bedroom and bathroom.

After having a shower Amanda got dressed into some clean clothes, although this time she put her new bikini (which she had brought that afternoon while Draco went on a few more roller coasters), on under her tank top and skirt so she could take a dip later tonight, as it was a really warm night, especially for spring.

Amanda heard a knock at the door and went to open it expecting to see Hagrid telling her it was time to go back to the zoo, but instead…

"Do I really have to stop drinking fire whiskey, or were you just kidding?"

Amanda laughed and let him in, "I was being serious, but if it is going to be that hard for you I'll let you drink it occasionally, but every time you have a shot just remember it is weakening your chances of winning your next Quidditch game."

"Great, what are you trying to do, make me have nightmares?"

"Very funny, but on more important topics do you wanna sneak out tonight?"

"Is that are serious question?"

"I'll take that as a yes, which is cool because I found somewhere cool we can go!"

"Oh really where?"

"You'll have to wait and see!"

"I'm not a big fan of surprises."

"Neither are your parents, imagine if they saw your tattoo."

"Are you threatening to tell?"

"No, I was just wondering how they would react."

"That is so not funn," but Draco was cut off by someone thumbing on Amanda's door.

" 'Manda," Hagrid bellowed.

Amanda quickly showed Draco where the bathroom was and closed the door behind him, before answering the door.

"Hi Hagrid, is it time to back to the zoo?"

"Yeah I've just got to go grab Malfoy then we can go and observe the Roo Dragons, boy you're in for a treat."

"Oh I'll go get Draco if you want?" Amanda offered.

"Nah nah it's fine. I'll get 'im."

Hagrid turned to leave, Amanda knew she had to make up an excuse for Draco not being in his room, which Hagrid was about to find out.

"Hagrid wait," Amanda shouted, "he won't be in his room."

Hagrid stopped and turned around, "what do you mean? Oh course he'll be there!"

"No he's in here because his shower didn't work, and today he fell slipped over and he got a little bit muddy, so I let him use my shower to get cleaned up, I hope that is okay."

"Why didn't you just say so? It's fine by me, well when he's done I'll meet both of you downstairs."

"Okay then see you in a few minutes," Amanda smiled and waved as Hagrid left, as soon as he was out of sight she closed the door and lent against it. All considering that turned out pretty good; then again Hagrid could go back to Hogwarts and tell a few people, that would be enough to start up rumours.

"That could've turned out worse," Draco told her, as if reading her mind.

"I know, now lets go and meet up with Hagrid before he gets suspicious."

"I can't be bothered," Draco whined, "I've been awake for twelve whole hours!"

"Too bad, I had some fun stuff organised for later tonight, but if you're that tired you'll probably want to get some rest before school tomorrow."

"That all depends on what you have planned."

"You'll have to wait and see, now hurry up lets go!"

Much to Draco's disappointment they had to walk back to the zoo, as the shuttle didn't run after six o'clock, not that it mattered as it wasn't a long walk. After the short walk they arrived at zoo, and made their way towards the Roo Dragon enclosure.

Three dragons were inside the enclosure; one seemed to be protecting eggs while the other two seemed to be guarding her.

A zookeeper stood at the high above the enclosure on some rocks, who had just pointed his wand at his own throat, "sonorus."

"Witches and wizards, warlocks and hags, tonight you will witness these three dragons as they protect the nest of eggs," he paused as nearly everybody gasped, "but don't be alarmed we do this show every night in spring, so everything should go smoothly."

"Now as you could probably guess the dragon standing over the eggs is the mother, the bigger of the other two is her mate and the other much smaller one, was the only surviving baby from last years litter as there was an accident so only one hatched."

"But on a happier note this year we are pretty sure all four eggs are going to hatch without a problem actually they are due to hatch any day now, now about tonight's show, you are going to be lucky enough to see these beautiful creatures being feed which is an amazing experience and you'll be able to watch as they defend their eggs from an intruder."

The audience gasped again, as a few other zookeepers carried up two dead cows, they dropped the first one near the larger male, which instead of scoffing it he simply stood there cooking it with his fire breath.

It was amazing these dragons were so civilised, after a minute the much smaller male dragon turned the cow over with his front talons. Once the cow appeared to be cooked the bigger dragon picked it up with his teeth and hopped over to his mate, who hadn't moved from her eggs the whole time.

"The Roo Dragons are not only the only dragon in the world with fur, the are the only dragon in the world with this kind of unique movement, hopping. Also notice that the female is so protective of her eggs she won't even leave them for food. Now for the next part of our show we are going to see how they defend the nest against our cardboard predator."

At the back of the enclosure a cardboard dragon came towards the dragons, magically suspended in the air. The small male dragon was the first one to see it and he immediately alerted the others by thumbing his foot against the ground, like a rabbit.

The mother dragon looked up and snorted smoke in warning; the adult male on the other hand was emitting flames high into the air. As time passed and the intruder did not leave the adult hopped over to the intruder, bounced high into the air and kicked the cardboard dragon so hard that it broke into two.

"That's it for tonight folks if you want to see more, tomorrow at five we'll be here again but we'll only be feeding as we're stopping the defence part of the show to make sure the eggs stay safe, thank you all for coming."

Amanda clapped her hands as the rest of the crowd hollered out cheers of appraisal. As exciting as the show was Amanda was ready to leave, it was already nine thirty and she had other things planned.

"Hagrid I'm tired can we go back to out apartments now?" Amanda asked through a yawn.

"I guess we'd beta'," Hagrid replied with sadness in his voice.

After Hagrid saw that the two pupils were safely in their own beds, he returned to his own as he needed sleep so he could get up tomorrow and see the dragons again.
