Chapter 9

As soon as spring came Jet was ready. He knew Lumary couldn't go out in that storm that had been going all winter. So after a few days of regular behavior by both of them, Jet and Lumary approached the wards that kept the dragons in. Jet changed into Harry and walked through with no trouble, using his crystal to make sure the wards didn't identify him at all.

"Ok Lumary the opening is right in front of me. Just walked straight towards me and the wards won't touch you." He said after making a hole that could have fit him as Jet with no problem.

After she was out he put his crystal away and changed to Jet. After a brief nuzzle, they take off into the night where they are in their element as hunters of darkness. Jet smirked as they flew higher. He almost wished he could be there in the morning to see how Splitfang reacted.

-----------------------------------

The next day the keepers don't notice that Jet or Lumary aren't at feeding time because Splitfang oddly had a porcupine up his nostrils. From what they could figure, one of the other nightvipers had pulled a prank on the male in question and merely took care of his nose. It wasn't until the next day that they did notice the two absent dragons. Worried, a few keepers cast proximity charms for the shy moon silver female and four eyed mutant black skinned male. They came up empty every time. They checked both caves. Empty. They walked the wards on both sides and flew over head on brooms.

Charlie's rod warmed. Pulling it out, he read the writing.

Charlie, I found something you should look at. And I would call some one in the Ministry. Teara.

Putting the rod away he apparated to Teara.

""What is it?"" She pointed at the wards as her answer. He cast a quick charm and the response shocked him.

The wards had been opened in one area.

Large enough for one of the nightvipers to walk out.

But what got his heart and mind racing the most was the amount of power that had been used to open, and then reseal the wards so that they didn't go off.

He apparated to the keeper shack and floo called the headmaster.

His head burst into life in Dumbledore's office to see him eating lemon drops.

"Dumbledore we have a problem!"

"Is the reservation under attack?" He asked.

"No but two dragons have been stolen and the person who did it must have had a lot of power to open a hole in the wards with out triggering them and then sealed them again so that we wouldn't notice at first."

Dumbledore looked shocked. He himself had helped strengthen those wards and had tried to open them himself to test them before they were strengthened. He had gotten a hole open but set off the alarm. Now that they were strengthened he couldn't even open a hole in them.

"Tell the other keepers in the order that we are having a meeting tonight. I will notify the rest." After that Charlie pulled his head out of the fire.

This can not be good at all. Thought Albus as he wrote a letter and then duplicated it before giving it to Fawkes. The phoenix disappeared in a burst of fire to deliver the letters to the order members.

---------------------------------

"Silence. Now then, the reason for this emergency meeting is some news our dragon keeper members have brought up. If you may Charlie."

"Today when it came time to feed the nightvipers we noticed that the two dragons named Jet and Lumary didn't show up to eat. We cast several proximity charms and still no sign of them. When we looked along the wards Keeper Teara found a spot that had been opened and then closed with out tripping the ward alarms."

This brought many people to shocked out bursts.

"Could it have been the dark lord?" Some one called out. Every one turned to Severus.

"He doesn't have an interest in the nightvipers. And if he did he would have taken all of them and would have taken down the whole wards."

"Charlie, what do the two dragons look like?" Called Bill.

"Lumary is moon silver with golden eyes and only three fourths of the size of the others. Jet, as I already told you before, is black with four emerald green eyes. All of the other dragons were accounted for."

A lot of them looked worried.

"It seems we have a new player out there who likes his variety in nightvipers." Stated Dumbledore.

"Maybe 'e tis a breeder and found them two suitin' to his taste." Hagrid said, always thinking about having a pet dragon, even to this day.

"Maybe it's Potter getting two dragons to attack us with." Ron said.

"No Lumary is one of the weakest we have and Jet seems to be fireless. Besides, Ron, there are better suited dragons for those tasks." Charlie answered.

"I still say it is Potter."

"Give it a rest whelp. Even I'm not that obsessive." Alastor said, raising a few chuckles from a few members as Ron reddened. To be called more obsessive than Mad-eye Moody was really saying something, as the man was truly obsessed with vigilance.

"Seeing that Mr. Potter was brought up, does anyone have anything new?" Dumbledore asked.

"Aside from what the minister is shooting out his butt face, though I don't see any difference between the two personally, I haven't seen anything that is real." Ginny called out. Several people said the same give or take.

"Well keep up the search for him. We must find him so that he does not hurt anyone else."

A/N(READ THIS IF YOU'RE ANGRY AT MY NOT POSTING FOR A WHILE!): Sorry for not updating in a while or updating my other two HP stories, but as I've said in my Naruto one-shot, Manifest, I've got a lot of things going in my head, and at least three fourths of them aren't related to HP sadly. But it doesn't help that I lost a lot of work thanks to the device I had it on broke for some reason. Meh, computers…. But its also my fault cuz I didn't have a recent back up of my work. That's why I've taken so long just for this one update. Because I lost work on other stuff too, don't expect too many updates too soon. Hopefully I'll make a breakthrough on PotE and end that story and then pick up the pace on my others. Again, SORRY! R&R please.
