Chapter 5: Dragons and Magical creatures.

(Harry's voice)

"Hello." I said when Hagrid opened the door for us to get in the cottage. "We've came back."

"Are they all hatched?" Ron asked wanting to know more.

"Shh, get in but keep your voices down, please." He said stepping aside to allow us in.

It was still dark outside so we had no problems to get there. "We have had little sleep tonight… the poor lash…"

Then we realised the red haired was sleeping at the ground. We tried to get near but then something with a face snake like hissed at us showing me its fangs.

"Snake!" I said.

"Shh!" Hagrid told me off. "That's something that hatched from an egg… It's a Swambra as she has called its specie. I think she called her… Moira, that's it. Doesn't allow me either to get near her…" He added showing us his bandaged fingers. "Not to say the baby next to… where's him?!"

Then we heard some cries from the chicken place of Hagrid's. When we arrived we saw a black with grey sparks dragon looking at us frighteningly.

"Oh, stop it!" Hagrid said taking a broom to menace him. "That's the second one he kills!"

The dragon then bit the broom and Hagrid then carried him fast to the cage he had for just itself. Then it was also a bit hard to cage him.

"That sneaking thing…" Hagrid said looking at the places where the broom hairs were cut due to the bite. "It just allows her to get near because he thinks she is his mother…"

"How many babies do you have now?" Hermione said looking at the snake thing that had swam body and that had laid his head down again yet she kept on staring at us.

"Seven." Hagrid said counting with his fingers. "Five dragons and two magical creatures."

"Hagrid, is that a Pegasus?" I asked him when I saw a winged colt sleeping next to the red haired.

"Oh, yes." Hagrid said. "Yet it's black instead of golden… Perhaps I put the egg too much heat and he got burn…"

Hermione then took the note book and began telling us the notes they had done since we left.

It was funny because they had note down all the kinds, and useful information about the eggs and the baby dragons hatching from them. Including the Swambra thing and the winged horse.

Then we heard how a new egg they had been keeping next to the fireplace began cracking. Hagrid removed it from the fire and we were about waking Isabelle up when the two creatures sleeping next to her began acting angrily towards us.

"Shh, let her sleep more." He said. "We will wake her up when you have to go to your lessons."

"She looks a bit as an angel like that." I said looking at her from the distance.

"Look!" Ron said when the egg broke and a green reptilian head appeared through the hole. "Is it a real dragon?" he asked as we saw the wings were practically inexistent.

"Wow… a Green Whelish …" Hagrid said when it bitted Ron's hand and he began shouting in pain.

Then the girl woke up and shook her head.

"Ah!!" She shouted as she saw what was going on with Ron's hand and the newborn dragon. "Drop it!!"

A minute later, we were walking towards the hospital wing with Ron holding his bitten hand with a cloth against his now swollen hand.

"How could you know it was a female?" Ron said.

"The eyes." She said. "The shade is different for male and female. And I liked the name: Emeraude… Brilliant."

"Thanks." I said. "It's something Ginny told me Fleur told her is called a shade of green stones."

"Yep, French." She answered smiling. "Ah… I'm willing to see more born. I wonder if there will be another newborn for the time I had Care of Magical Creatures at 1 pm."

"And you will be forgiving to attend the lessons?" Hermione said.

"Those eggs are my project." Isa marked out. "I'll be working in the hut with a new bunch of hurt Twingles Hagrid found on the dark forest while the rest of people from our term will be out having a look at the rest."

(Isa's voice)

"Hagrid!" I called out of the window at 1:04 pm when the white and light blue egg began cracking. "Number 4 is beginning to crack!"

"What?!" He answered me as he gave the projects to the pupils. "Ok, when it's off take it here so as to show the rest it!"

I nodded and waited next to the egg. However, when I saw the first part of the new baby I frowned. It was not a dragon, again. A dragon doesn't have such feet.

A minute later I was noting down the data of the new specie.

"Name: Pax (Peace on Latin)

Sex: Males

Health: Healthy."

I had checked up their heart beats to check they were alive cause after breaking the egg shell the two fur balls didn't move at all. They were alive, yet they didn't move at all. They seemed to be sleeping, and while I was noting down their data they woke up and walked to my lap where they laid doing a soft noise as if they were pleasant cats.

"Personality: They appear quiet; wakes very rarely. Soft and nice. Lovely and love looking for.

Diet: (still to check)"

I then dropped the quill to begin caressing the two fur balls and then I took them on my arms to take them out into the garden to show Hagrid the new babies, twins by the way.

"What are those… things?!" He said.

"Look like rabbits." A student pointed out.

"I'll call this one Eloy, if you don't mind." I asked Hagrid showing him the more awaken one that had spent some time licking me.

Eloy was the name of the person I felt once more close to, my brother that was just two years elder than me. And Hagrid must have known it cause he didn't denied the idea. He called the other Pax Fluffy cause it was really that.

I spent the rest of the hour taking care of the already born dragons and creatures and trying to guess what would the new species eat. It was plain clear the Swambra was carnivore, specially when she ate a small rat from the hut. And the equigon was obviously herbivore cause it was a genetic mutation from a Pegasus.

So I spend the following hour getting more mixes for the babies ready and feeding them till Hagrid came and gave me a hand feeding them.

(Ron's voice)

"I can't believe he has come here!" I said astonish as I saw Charlie at the great hall talking to Professor McGonagall. We had seen more men wearing same suits arriving on their brooms. But he had still not even said hello. "He comes without telling me and he doesn't even say hello!"

"Calm up." Hermione said. "I suppose he has to first ask for permission to stay here."

"Yes, he will come and say hello when he has end."

"He just cares on his dear dragons…" I said angry.

It was true, I felt as if I was betrayed by him. He didn't even say he was coming today; I had to find out by the new one, who had still not appeared from her last lesson.

"Hey, look who is coming." Harry said pointing to the doors where Isa was coming towards us till she sat down with us.

"Sorry for the delay." She said. "We were feeding the babies."

"Any new one?" Harry asked.

"Yep, a pair of new creatures I have called Pax. And still two eggs for hatching." She said. "Hagrid is the one writing to the ministry to tell them. I suppose we will have to take the Swambra, the Equigon and the two Pax to better describe them so I suppose Hagrid will look for good helpers."

"Ah!!" Hermione said. "I will, I will!"

"I knew I could count on you three." She said smiling. "That's why I told him I would first ask you."

"And what have you found about them till now?" I asked her.

"The Swambra is carnivore and the rest herbivore. She is a bit vicious towards Hagrid but really loyal towards me. Then Pegasus, the equigon… He is, in general shy and curious, and he has turned out to be over-protective towards me."

"So there are two things that we can't take care of." I said.

"No, the equigon also trust Hagrid." She said. "What is obvious is I will have to take care of the Swambra myself and I have decided to adopt Eloy."

"Who?" We asked at once.

"Eloy is the second Pax, first one is Fluffy…" She began saying.

"Guess who named him." Harry said.

"Moira is the Swambra and Pegasus is the equigon." She ended. "All we need to do is to spend some time there looking at them, feeding them, playing with them…"

"Experimenting and breeding them." Hermione said. "We can suppose it."

Then someone patted on my back and when I turned I saw nobody so I looked to the other side to see Charlie.

"Hello, little bro." He said smiling. "Harry, Hermione… And look who we have here!"

"Heya, Charlie." Isa said as if they already knew each other. "Nice to see you have come so fast."

"How are my babies?" He said.

"There are still two about hatching and three eggs were not dragon eggs." She said taking a french-fry from the dish. "Ah, and we have a new breed and a black equigon."

"Ok, we will take them t…"

"They are staying here." She said. "Remember you promised me I could keep non dangerous things here. I want to do a full inform about the new creatures."

"Are they no dangerous?" Charlie said.

"No. The only vicious one is the Swambra and I think I can keep her under control." She said. "Unless you want to have your fingers eaten."

"Hello, we are here…" I said.

"Sorry." Charlie said smiling. "Work is too hard to avoid."

"How is you get along so well?" Harry asked him.

"Well, she's came Romania some times to help breeding dragons and helping fliers to tame dragons." Charlie began explaining.

"On summers." She said. "Just as volunteer."

"And then we send her some to hatch dragons we can't identify for her to help us tagging them." Charlie added. "But I suppose you have already checked according to someone's words."

"Yes, we have seen born five dragons." Harry said.

"Harry named the green Whelish." Isa said smiling.

"Is there one?" Charlie said.

"Yep and also a… how was the name of that one that made you go so thrilled?" Hermione said.

"Scott… Scottish…" I began saying.

"A Scottish highlander." She said excited and smiling. "He was a really healthy male and I really think we can expect great things from him!!"

"No!!" Charlie said also thrilled. "Really?! You are not cheating me?! It's going to be the… first one since the end of medieval ages!!"

"He is name Draco!" Isa kept on. "And since he was born he is able to talk to humans!!! Do you realise what we are talking about?!!"

We were now calling for the near people's attention but they didn't seem to care at all.

(Isa's voice)

"I'd love to keep the other hair ball with me." Harry told me.

"Really?" I asked him. "But… we don't know what does it eat or how could him react to things…"

"How dangerous can such a sleepy thing be?" Ron said pocking one of the twins that were now deeply slept without any reaction from its part.

"Perhaps it's just on the childhood and soon it will turn into a nervous thing." Hermione said. "Even evolve into something else." She added a bit nervous.

"I don't think they are such things." I said rubbing my nose against Eloy's sleeping head. "They are just so soft and calmed…"

"Fur balls, that's what they are." Ron said.

Suddenly I saw someone else at the end of the corridor, someone that didn't remove his eyes from me to catch my attention. Someone called Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.

"Mind if I take both to the common room?" I said. "I'll put them on the board box next to fire and I'll go to have a swim at the prefects' tube."

"Oh, sure." They said.

"We will met you later then." Harry said.

"Sure, and Ron, we have training later on the afternoon. Don't miss it, right?" I told him.

"Ok." He said.
