An Unexpected Houseguest

H

I hummed softly as I stirred the stew I was making. Multi-tasking yet again, making dinner and a potion for poor old Crookshanks. His hips have gotten stiffer and I'm worried his days might be numbered. Athena, the messenger owl I bought fresh out of Hogwarts stood on her perch, chirping away happily.

Glancing out towards the night sky, I saw a flash of orange.

"It must be Crookshanks," I thought.

The old cat stiffly walked. I smiled as I watched him make his advance towards our house. The smile quickly disappeared as I caught sight of the shadow behind him. Quickly grabbing my wand, I ran out door and pointed it directly behind Crookshanks.

"Don't move!" I yelled. The shadow stopped and whined as Crookshanks rubbed up on my leg as if nothing was happening. "Crookshanks, you can't bring back your dinner. Eat it first" I yelled confused as Crookshanks continued to ignore... it."What did you bring home this time?" I wondered aloud. I looked behind him to see what has to be the tiniest dragon in all of wizarding history.

"Well look at you, ya old man. You managed to get a dragon to follow you home" I teased the old cat. I promptly walked over to where the little dragon stood cowering. "Well shoo" I said waving my hands at it. It whined again.

It was then I noticed its broken wing. And it's dirty appearance. Well less dirty and more like absolutely covered in dirt. Closer inspection revealed blood dripping from the wound. Another whimper tugged at my heartstrings and I carefully rushed over to inspect it further.

It cowered ever so slightly as I neared, eyeballing my wand.

"Aren't you a little smarty?"

I spoke softly, not wanting to spook it further. It perked up at my words; it understood what I was saying. Of course, dragons are known for their intelligence; and their ferocity; and their ability to breathe fire.

All of a sudden I wasn't too keen on letting it into my home. And who was I kidding; I don't know how to care for a dragon.

But I know someone who does.
