The train ride was uneventful, with the occasional conversation between herself and Draco, joined in by a witty comment or joke on behalf of Blaise, but Theodore mostly kept to himself. He would mutter and mumble something under his breath when he had a comment about something he didn't agree with, but other than that, he just kept to himself.

Kagome sighed, 'Hopefully...when we get to daddy's...he will lighten up.' Glancing to Theodore who was holding his luggage in hand, glaring at the man loading their stuff into the back of a transport vehicle, once more she sighed, "Hopefully..."

Blaise quirked a brow, "What's up?"

"Nothing!" She blushed, "Sorry, uh...nothing...I was just...thinking out loud."

"Hm, alright." He handed his own bags to the gentleman that her father had asked to pick them up. He worked with her dad with the dragons, a large burn was on his back, she knew because she'd been present when he'd received it from a Chinese Firebolt that was dangerously close to being put down. After sneaking off, she got herself inside its cage and found herself mistakenly taken in as its baby. A simple mistake any dragon could make. Well, it kept her alive, and also calmed the mother dragon down quite significantly. She was protective, very protective, and Kagome had discovered the reason to be an un-hatched baby egg hidden in a crevice of the fissure that the dragon had taken to for shelter. Needless to say, it was still alive; her father had gotten her back...and scolded her...the egg was left alone and the tamers kept their distance for four more months while awaiting the hatching of the dragon.

"Why are we taking this Muggle contraption?"

"...because...we are." Kagome answered blandly, already her attitude was being stomped on by the ever, mood-killing, Theodore.

The gentleman, Lance, short for Lancelot, and yes, he was named after the famous knight. He was proud of the name, but got tired of the questions, so he would always introduce himself as 'Lance'. He finished loading the vehicle and looked curiously at Kagome who shook her head. She knew what he was thinking, 'are they your friends?' or, 'is he really coming with us?'. She smiled to herself; Theodore would, with all hope, warm up to her while on this little trip.

"So, how long till we get to your home?" Draco asked.

"Only two hours by car, and then it's a twenty minute walk from there. If we were old enough, we would just apparate there, but seeing as how none of us are...oh, we could ride there...but I think the brooms were moved to the house since I wouldn't be there. I was the only one who used them for travel; everyone else used them for taking care of the dragons and such."

Draco nodded, "So why do we have to walk the rest of the way?"

"Well...the last car to try driving up to my house...liquefied..."

"..."

Blaise shook his head, "I'm sorry, liquefied?"

"Yeah, one of our more dangerous breeds melted it; mating season and all. They are territorial...you know?"

"Clearly," Draco frowned, "Will they try anything like that with us?"

"Not if we walk. They won't hurt me at all."

"Not necessarily true, Kagome." Lance said as he climbed into the drivers' seat. "That Norwegian Ridgeback we got in a week before you left hadn't the time to get used to you like all the others did. It's one that will be best kept to its self while you and your friends are here. Only just got used to its new home, wouldn't want it running amuck the town spittin' fire, now would we?"

"Understood; where is it being kept?"

"Area 6, in the rocky ridges."

"You sure that's the best place for her?"

"She's not quite fond of the others, so we decided to seclude her."

"..." Kagome frowned, "Your choice, I guess..."

"What's wrong with that?"

Kagome looked to Theodore, "If you keep a dragon secluded, it becomes used to seclusion, so what happens if it's suddenly placed among other dragons?"

"...it becomes aggressive?" Blaise asked in place of Theodore, who had been the one to ask the question to begin with.

"Very much so, hostile, it will attack anything that moves that isn't one of its routine humans, a-k-a...dragon tamers."

Draco nodded, "I get it; so why do it?"

She sighed, "Yes, well...why do you insult Ron, Harry and Hermione?"

"...I don't know, just because." Draco frowned.

"Yeah, that is the best answer I can give you, 'just because'."

"..."

Lance smiled, "We thought it best for this particular case. If you think she should be moved, then by all means...just wait till you meet her."

"...right, I'll have her in area 12 in the meadow fields." She glared at the back of the drivers' seat where Lance sat shaking his head, 'She shouldn't be in such a dreary place like the area 6 rocky ridges.' She looked out the window and kept herself quiet the rest of the ride. Blaise and Draco kept a conversation going with Lance, asking questions, most of which consisted of what would happen while there and what they needed to remember while there. Lance did his job, warding them off from trying to sneak out at odd hours of the night, and explaining that they shouldn't go near the dragons unless someone was with them.

Draco watched as the scenery began slowing and the Muggle transportation that he was in slowed to a stop. Climbing out with Blaise and Theodore, he waited for Kagome only to see that she was already out on her side. He shut the door and watched her grab her luggage and carry it to a platform. "Um, what are we doing?"

"Someone will take our stuff to our rooms by apparition, unless of course...you want to carry it. It's a twenty minute walk, and we are going up..."

"...up?" Blaise frowned, "Up where?"

"Up to where my house is, on the top this hill!" She pointed up. Their eyes followed and widened all in one single second. "So, you guys going to carry your stuff?"

"..." One after another, they placed their luggage on the platform and followed Kagome and Lance up the mountain side. It wasn't hard at first for the boys, but as they got higher, and the air became thinner, the climb started to take its toll on them and it started to show.

Kagome paused and glanced back, "Do you want to break?"

"...no," Theodore answered, "I won't stop."

She smiled, "We are almost there; it's only about five more minutes,"

"We will be fine," Draco responded with a smile.

"Alright then," Turning back, she continued walking. She knew that each minute probably felt like ten to them, but she knew that they weren't going to call it quits, partly due to the fact that she wasn't affected by the incline and thinning air. She grew up with it, so she was used to it and took comfort with it.

Charlie looked up at the baby dragon that was leashed to the front post of his front veranda. It was standing at attention, its eyes staring out at the gate, as if expecting someone to pop up at any moment. "What is it, Drako?" He grinned, "Hear something?"

"Grrr~"

"Right, right...I hear ya," He walked over to the baby dragon and released the bridle tied around the porch post. Drako was off in mere seconds of his release and darting past the gate entrance.

"AHH~!"

Charlie laughed quietly to himself as he saw the dragon flying off in the air with Kagome held securely in its arms. She was trying to maneuver herself on top of the dragon, but was failing horribly.

"KAGOME!"

He glanced to see four more figures running through the gate entrance, one who was actually walking, and wasn't worrying over his daughter, but instead, making his way over to where he stood. "How were they?"

"Questions and what not were all I really had to deal with. Your daughter isn't too thrilled with the sleeping conditions of Saria."

"Never said she would be." Charlie laughed.

"Kagome!"

Charlie looked to see the familiar shade of platinum blonde that could only be a Malfoy. "Draco Malfoy..." He sighed, "I can't believe I am actually letting a Malfoy reside within the same house as myself and my daughter."

"Hm," Lance smiled, "He's smitten,"

"...excuse me?" Charlie stared at Lance as if he'd up and gone senile.

"Through the entire ride to the Dragon Prefecture, he kept glimpsing at Kagome when he thought no one was looking. He disguised it well with the book he was reading. An interesting title...care to hear it?"

"Why not," He watched as Drako flew lower with his daughter and gently placed her down.

"Romeo and Juliet, the Muggle book written by the dead play writer, Shakespeare, I believe was his name."

"...that tragic lovers book...?"

Lance nodded, "Yep, and how does that one end?"

"Not funny," Charlie watched the group walk one-by-one, with Kagome helping each one as they pet Drako carefully, gently, and most certainly nervously. "He doesn't really seem all that bad,"

"He isn't, especially when compared to his father. Lucius is a horrible person, but while his son is here, it would be in our best interest to remember...he is not Lucius Malfoy."

Charlie frowned, "But he is Lucius Malfoy's son, and that is cause enough for me to not trust him with my daughter."

Lance watched Charlie as he walked forward towards the group, whistling for the baby Chinese Firebolt, "Go inside, Drako,"

The dragon did as told, looking over its shoulder as Kagome waved it off with a smile.

"I have three rooms set up for each of you. Snape was kind enough to send a heads-up my way," He eyed Kagome he frowned.

"I was going to; he told me he already took care of it,"

"Mm," Charlie nodded, "Dinner isn't for another hour, so, Kagome, go ahead and give them a tour of the house and a run down on the do's and don'ts. Their luggage is already upstairs in their rooms. Do you know which ones?"

"Yeah, the ones on the opposite side of yours, right?"

"Good girl," He moved so she could pass and watched the three boys follow her. She paused for a moment, turned around and ran up to her father. Charlie watched as she smiled up at him, smiling, he hugged his daughter he hugged him back tightly. "Welcome home, Kagome." He whispered.

"It's good to be home, daddy." She smiled, running after the boys, she made her way to the front of group and entered only to find her hand in the mouth of Drako. "Hey Draky, how's my baby?" She asked with a smile, completely oblivious to Draco who was blushing like mad, despite the knowledge that she was not talking to him, but the dragon in front of him. "Go to mommy's room, I'll be up there tonight, kay!"

The dragon was quick to release her hand and race up the steps of the stairs.

"So that's your pet?" Theodore asked.

"Yes, he is. His mother died around four years ago, and I took Drako in."

"How did she die?"

"Well, a group of tamers were sent to get her when she went into a crazed attack on a beach packed with Muggle's. They sent stunning spells at her, too many, her heart was being constricted. She stopped fighting, memory charms were distributed among the Muggle's, and she was brought here, but by that time, healing charms wouldn't help her, and Drako's mother's heart imploded. It was discovered that night that she'd been just about to give birth to the egg, and it had to be removed manually. Drako egg was kept warm with charms on a constant twenty-four-seven, and when he hatched...i took care of him."

"Your dad wasn't against it?"

"...Daddy felt that he didn't have the right to deny the hatchling a mother, since he was part of the group that had taken his biological mother from him."

"..."

She sighed, "It's in the past, and Daddy isn't proud of it," turning, she smiled, "Your rooms," She pointed at three doors, "I don't know which one goes to who, your stuff is already in it, so it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Daddy's is here," she pointed at another door, "Then mine is on the other side of daddy's,"

Blaise smirked, "Isn't he being a little paranoid?"

"Yeah, but he's a dad, what did you expect?" Kagome asked.

"I didn't expect for him to separate our rooms, I mean, I knew we would be given separate rooms, but I didn't know it would be with him in between our rooms."

Kagome shrugged, "It doesn't matter, does it?"

Draco laughed, "No, it doesn't."

"Oh! Come this way!" She ran up another flight of stairs and through a door, brooms lined the walls all around them. "Tomorrow, we will go flying, so, pick out a broom and it will be the one you use the entire time you are here. When racing the dragons, you want one that is good at turns, they like pulling fast ones on you." She giggled. "I hope none of you have an aversion to dangerous situations, because you will most likely be placed in a lot of them."

"..." Blaise smiled, "Were Slytherin's, what do you think?"

"...your Slytherin's...what do you think I think?"

"Haha, right, never mind..."

Theodore frowned, "What time should we be up?"

"Whenever you want, this isn't school, but breakfast is usually at eight."

"Got it." He picked out a broom and placed it over his shoulder. Blaise did the same thing.

"I have my own, so I'll be fine."

"Right, let's go."

Kagome led them down the steps and let them figure out their rooms before showing them around the rest of the house, which was much bigger than they thought.

"Not to sound rude, and I really mean that," Draco said, "but...how does a Weasley...make so much money?"

Kagome laughed, "The Ministry has to pay us a lot, or else, who would risk their life taming dragons? No, this is a high paying job. Daddy mentioned trying to send money to his family, a-k-a, Ron's family, but...they send it back." She sighed, "They have that pureblood pride that doesn't allow them to take money that isn't hard-earned. Some people only accept money they've worked for, and the Weasley's are that type of family."

Draco frowned, 'Pureblood pride, huh. My father doesn't work for much of anything, he just takes it...' He closed his eyes and sighed, 'I just take it.'

Blaise noticed his downtrodden friend and smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder, he nudged him forward.

Theodore said nothing, like the majority of the trip so far, 'Humph,'

The night was soon to end, and that meant tomorrow, a many few trials would start. Oh, what the winds of change may bring, on young and impressionable minds.
