Kagome finally dragged herself out of bed and dressed in a pair of tight brown pants a green silk shirt and dragon hide boots, knowing full well what she and the others would be participating in today.

"Finally awake, huh?"

"Morning daddy!" She bent down a kissed her father on the cheek, smiling before walking away from the dining room table he sat at. Drako was curled up beside his feet while Draco and Blaise sat across from him reading one of her old dragon books her father had bought for her to read when she was younger. "Ooh, 'A Practical Guide to Dragon Taming'. Getting in a few lessons before you go out on the field?"

"Out on the field?" Theodore asked as he came down stairs.

"Yep, if you want to ride the Thestrals, you've got to catch the fish,"

Blaise felt his eyes widen, "You have Thestrals!"

Kagome laughed, "It's his version of the Muggle saying, if you want to ride the horse, you've got to roll the hay...or something like that."

"What are we going to do?" Draco asked curiously, not lifting his head from the book he was reading as he looked at Theodore from the corner of his eyes. It wasn't a glare, nothing of the sort. It was wonder, and a look of alight irritation, but he wasn't angry, or about to hex his old friend...yet.

"Well, daddy...being the educational father that he is, likes to give lessons when his little girl brings over her friends."

"How many people have you brought home?" Blaise knew it might sound rude, but seriously, she lived above the Dragon Prefecture, surely parents would restrict their kids from too much interaction, or at the least, not letting them go stay next to a next of fire-breathing oversized lizards.

"Quite a few, let's see...Sango, she's two years older than I am, and is one of my closest friends. She's also a witch, but she attends Beauxbatons Academy of Magic..."

"She'll be staying with us once school ends and until the next term begins. Her mother and father are going on an expedition to the Arctic."

Kagome frowned, "Cool, but why the Arctic?"

"We received a letter a while back saying that a White Dragon was spotted, and their team was placed for the assignment of bringing it back safely. The late date is because they need to accommodate to the rest of their team, and since it's the holiday, a lot of them are with family and friends right now, and then a couple have kids who need to have nanny's so they need time to find someone to watch their kids."

"Oh, that makes sense." Kagome continued her earlier conversation with Blaise, "Miroku is another friend, the same age as Sango, but he attends Durmstrang Institute, he doesn't get to come by and visit nearly as much as Sango, but he's still been one of my closest friends since as long as I can remember...also, Shippou is a year younger than me, but he hasn't decided on Hogwarts or Durmstrang yet, so I don't where he'll attend. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha also attend Durmstrang Institute...hmm...I'm starting to have some serious inquiries about Hogwarts...am I in the wrong school daddy?"

Charlie laughed, "No, course not! Hogwarts is the best of the lot, and it'll become much more obvious the longer you're there."

"Daddy, you said─"

"I know, let us see if you want to stay or return once it's a little closer."

"Well, I was going to say...I want to finish the year up for sure."

"..." Charlie stared for a moment then smiled, "I'm glad to hear that," He placed a hand on top of his daughters head when she sat down at the table to eat. "You lot can come out once finished eating and done reading, understand?"

"Yes daddy!"

Kagome took a bite of her food as Charlie left to set up for the day.

Theodore yawned and grabbed some food too, sitting across from her without a word.

"So what was up with the two of you?" Blaise asked, "You both were deader than ghosts earlier,"

"We went to see Saria late last night; I'm going back again today so that I can take her out for a fly." Kagome answered; unaware of the curious look Blaise was giving Theodore who merely shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I'm ready! You guy's?"

"Yeah," Draco stood up and walked over to her, holding a hand out to her, he grinned when she smiled and laughed cheerily, placing her hand in his only for him to pull her to her feet. "Shall we?"

"We shall, Blaise? Theodore?"

The two stood and headed off after the two. Draco opened the door for Kagome before glancing back at Theodore, he looked right into his eyes before turning back and walking with Kagome outside.

Blaise laughed out, stopping Theodore with a hand on his shoulder. "I don't know what's going on, between you and Kagome, and you and Draco...or for that matter, what's going on between Draco and Kagome...but whatever you are doing, you better play your cards right, because Kagome already likes Draco, he doesn't really have to do much to try."

"Che" Theodore pushed the hand off of his shoulder and turned a glare onto the Italian behind him, "I don't plan on wasting my time with such nonsense, she may be interesting, but she's still of relation to these Muggle-loving Weasley's!"

Blaise was used to Theodore's harsh personality, but he liked Kagome, nothing like Draco did, but he considered her a friend, and wouldn't stand for Theodore's rude comments towards the innocent Kagome. "Say what you want about those bloody Weasley's but keep your barmy mouth shut concerning Kagome!" He snapped, walking past Theodore, making his way to Draco and Kagome who were talking with Charlie, Theodore was close behind, both stopping when they met up with the three.

"Glad you two could join us, I just told Kagome and Draco what you are to do first, I don't want you guys doing anything to dangerous yet, so today, we'll stick with the easy stuff. As the day's pass, things will get harder, but you'll see that the reward you receive at the end of the day is worth more than anything you'll ever be able to buy with money."

Draco watched Charlie leave, and followed Kagome to the back where a large garden was.

"Are we picking flowers?" Blaise questioned, watching as Kagome walked to a small shed and grabbed four pares of gloves and cutting sheers, along with four woven baskets.

"Not quite, these are flowers that are used to make magical remedies. They are very precious to daddy, since this garden was mum's before she died." She wasn't looking at any of them while she spoke; instead, she was kneeling before a small collection of pink five point petal flowers. "These are called Pink Fairy Orchids, they are used in calming droughts and potions. The flower petals once were mixed in with hot tea, and still to this day in some places. It soothes you, filters the stress of environmental situations which can cause panic and being overwhelmed." She pointed to another flower with five pointed petals, only this time in yellow with the one pointing up being bright red leaving only four yellow petals. "Their called Cowslip Orchids, used for arrogant, selfish and pompous people, to deflate an ego. The potion it's used in is called Inflatus Extrico, which when translated, mean Pompous Free in Latin."

"Haha," Blaise grinned, "I can think of a few Slytherin's who could use that potion,"

"Mm, so can I..." She smiled, "Daddy wants us to carefully cut the flowers from the stems and place them in these baskets, we will start with these first, and then I will show you guys some more. Cut at an angle though, that way they can grow back." Kagome went to work on the flowers.

Draco grabbed a basket, a set of gloves and cutting sheers before sitting down next to her and cutting the flowers from the stems.

-x-x-x-

Two hours passed and Charlie came to check on his daughter, "How is it going?" He asked the four who were now sitting beside full baskets, flower petal, roots, buds and nectar from different plants, were sorted in separate bags in each basket. "Everyone ready to go flying?"

"Yes!" Blaise jumped up, excited to finally be going flying.

"Settle down, you don't want to be that excited around a dragon, you'll give it a bloody heart attack and then we'll all be in trouble, with a nervous dragon making shots at us with spurts of fire." Charlie said sternly, but playfully. "Now, there are a couple rules, one...do not scream, it will give them a start, two, when approaching a dragon, you stop at least ten feet away from it, hold out your hand, keep eye contact, and wait. Watch the dragon, breathe steadily, and calmly, do not let it smell fear, and everything will be fine. Rule three, when you are on the dragons, you will hold tightly to the reins around its neck, do not let go, or that will be the last mistake you ever make." He looked carefully at the three boys as Kagome finished bringing the flowers and other stuff in while they listened to instructions. "I want you lot to pay close attention to this last part," He looked each in the eye, making sure that their attention was on him, "In no way, will I allow harm to come to any of you. Not while on the ground, not while in the air..."

Draco felt something warm inside, something unfamiliar, not sure if he'd ever felt it before really. His father wasn't one for heartwarming speeches, and his mother, although she loved him, was a proud woman who enjoyed more, shopping and party planning, hosting to be exact.

"Let us get started, now then..." Charlie led the three boys to a gathering of dragons where a man and woman that they hadn't yet met were talking with Lance who was holding the reins of one of the large dragons. "They are all Green Welsh, so nothing too scary to start you lot off with, I imagine a horntail might land you in St. Mungo's, from injury or insanity, you would be there faster than a Nimbus 2001."

"..."

"Don't go scarin' them before their up in the air, Charlie. I'm sure that will be plenty enough to frighten them anyways. Now, where is your beautiful daughter?"

"Ah, she should be on her way." As if she'd heard her father, Kagome came running from around the house and up to her father.

"Kagome!"

"June!" Kagome smiled as she ran and hugged the brunette standing beside her father. "Seth! You're both here!" She shouted excitedly as she wrapped her arms happily around their waists. "I'm so happy you both are here! What about the baby, where is she!"

"Ah, at home..." Seth sighed, "She was so little, and Juniper thought it would be too much for Eileen to take in at once."

Kagome pouted, "I guess that makes sense,"

"We came to see you, Kagome, how is school so far?"

"Pretty boring...well," Kagome frowned, "I take that back, it's been picking up speed on the excitement scale for sure as of late,"

"It has?" Juniper frowned, "More exciting than Dragon Taming?"

Kagome laughed, "Not yet, but close. People are dropping left and right at school," She walked up to one of the Welsh dragons, petting one on the snout as she did, "They are all being paralyzed by one thing or another, and a lot of kids are freaking out, not to mention Ginny...and the message on the wall written in blood, and...Sir Nicholas..."

Charlie's eyes could not have grown any larger had she told him that Snape had worn a pink jumper to the opening ceremony. "No...no, you won't be returning to Hogwarts..."

Kagome laughed, "Of course I will. Because I've discovered something,"

"Hm?" Draco looked at Kagome who was now facing her father.

"Dumbledore...I don't like him father."

Charlie felt his heart twist at that name, she was always so serious when she used that. Father, it's when he knew, no matter what he said, she do things her way. "Why?"

"He can't be trusted," She turned back to the green dragon that began nuzzling against her hand, eyes closed as it let her pet him. "He is deceptive, to many different people, in many different way. He uses people, I took note of that...and I have also decided to be there to watch out for Harry, since he is the one who Dumbledore's lies revolve around."

Juniper shared a look with Seth who laughed, "Kagome, aren't you being just a little silly?"

"No, you can choose to ignore it, but I won't be so easily fooled by his deceit,"

"...alright, no more serious talk," Juniper smiled, "Let's get these boys saddled up and on a Dragon!"

Kagome watched as Draco held a hand out to the one who Kagome was petting, and the dragon took a single sniff of the air before stepping forward, closer to his hand, pressing his snout against Draco's fingers, closing it's eyes, he looked as if he were thinking, when finally it relaxed against the ground and waited for Draco to mount him. "His name is Aeolus, it means quick-moving. He'll leave you in the air if you don't hold on tightly." Kagome joked, though Draco was sure the dragon would leave him behind if he wasn't careful to hold on.

Blaise and Theodore mounted on the other dragons, and the three watched as Kagome chatted with the woman, Juniper.

"Have any of your Veela traits come about yet?" Juniper asked, watching Seth fix the strap around the dragon Blaise was going to ride.

"No...I don't think so..."

"Hm, well, I remember when your mother was in school, she was using her abilities left and right, boy flailing all around her. But then, she was a full blood Japanese Veela, so...maybe because you are only half...it takes longer."

"Maybe...but then again, maybe I won't ever have Veela abilities," Kagome smiled, "I'm going to visit Saria and bring her out."

Charlie turned and frowned, "No you're not."

"I am, I promised her last night!" She snapped, "Putting her alone was horrible, she has to have a child daddy!"

"...fine, Seth, go with her."

"Right!"

-x-x-x-

"Just like her mother," Juniper smiled, "You sure it's okay for her to go back though?" Her face was no longer one which held a smile, but a serious, motherly look.

Charlie laughed, though it did not reach his eyes, "What should I do, chain her to her bed?"

"..."

"She'll find a way back to Hogwarts if she has to steal away Fáfnir or Drako to do it." Charlie watched as Lance guided the boys into the air, making sure they weren't being overwhelmed with speed. He frowned, watching Draco as he leaned closer to the Dragon a said something he couldn't hear. Though it soon became obvious what the boy had wanted, as the Dragon shot up high in the sky and started going faster than what Lance had instructed. "That boy..."

"Malfoy's son...right?"

Charlie nodded, "Yeah, one of Kagome's many Slytherin friends, oi, do you know who her favorite teacher is?"

"...Hooch?"

"No! Snape," He closed his eyes, mentally wondering where he'd gone wrong.

Juniper laughed, "She has never been one to discriminate, so it's easy for people to befriend her...Slytherin or otherwise."

"Yeah, I know...it just bugs me," He glanced to the side as Kagome and Seth became visible on the back of Saria who landed moments later in front of him. Seth jumped off as the dragon turned a fierce glare onto him. This made Charlie nervous and made to step closer to Saria when she turned her glare on him before flapping her wings and taking off into the air.

"Catch up to Draco, Saria!" Kagome called, laughing all the while. Blaise and Theodore followed suite and soon, four kids were zooming around on the backs of four large fire-breathing dragons, shouting happily and excitedly as the dragons kept at their fast speed well through lunch. In fact, they were sure to have stayed up in the sky chasing one another, had Charlie not called them down for dinner, with a threat that if they didn't come down now, they wouldn't fly again the entire duration of their visit. Yeah...that worked...

Seth and Lance had taken the dragons back to their nests, but Saria had chosen a new nest. Parking herself behind Kagome's home where she laid down and fell asleep, ignoring Seth and Lance as they laughed at Charlie. Kagome was happy with it though, and with a smile, some slight begging on her part, and a promise to not get anymore detentions, she got her wish...but honestly, he wasn't holding her to that promise.

(Two Weeks Later)

Flying...Gardening...Learning...Christmas...those two weeks was the quickest that the group had ever had. It had lasted not nearly long enough, and come tomorrow...they would depart from the Dragon Paradise and return back to school.
