Amour

Chapter 4: Chains

I sat here, trapped in my dragonian form, chained down. Try as I might, I could not free myself. Years slipped by without my notice, there is little action here. They come with the Clankers and I recede farther back into my corner. I have lost all sprit, my will to survive. I have no knowledge of day and night, these caverns are so dark, and my eyes fail me. All I can see is dim auras and blurry objects.

Most of the auras that come here are black, I long to see familiar colours, lavender, periwinkle, gold, and blue-green. I'd give anything to see any of those, hell anything with red in it; I want this bombardment of black to cease!

Anger began to well up inside of me, when next they come with those blasted clankers, I'll give them some light! My anger bubbled up more still; it felt so good to fell any emotion. Long have I been devout of any feeling. This dragon will have his revenge!

I heard it! Yes, yes, there it was! That faint pattering of footsteps, yes the taste of sweet, sweet revenge! I gave a tremendous roar and set a get of flame at the source of the noise. That's when they started the clanking, fear and pained memories flooded my mind, I retreated; I couldn't stand it!

Still cowering in my corner, I looked up and saw three aura trails, red aura trails! Hunter green, copper, and deep purple auras where present, each had red in them! I could barely contain my excitement; however I made no movements what so ever. I would wait, until the opportune moment to make them free me.

They disappeared into the vault. I would wait until they reemerge to spring my attack…

A crowd of black auras formed around the vault as the tree coloured ones emerged. Spells began to fly. I roared again, they couldn't hurt my only means of escape! I threw out a jet of flame. Suddenly I was free, I still had the damned cuffs on, but I was not chained down anymore. Out of common courtesy and I still needed those cuffs off, I allowed the three to climb onto my back, once they where on I took off with a roar.

I climbed into the air, how good it felt to be free again! The last time I had done this was when I was with the Marauders, a week before I was captured. I wanted desperately to roll in the sky, but that would displace my unknown friends. I flew towards Hogwarts.

Soon I realized I would not be able to make that long of a journey, I began my descent. I allowed the three to tumble off my back into the lake, I circled around and landed at the shore where they had sum up to. I could feel their terror as a stuck out one of my back legs. I wanted this blasted thing off once and for all!

"I-I think it wants us to take that off," the deep purple aura said.

Yes! Yes! Iwanted to scream, Yes! Take it off! They wouldn't understand if I attempted to say so, I pushed my leg closer to them.

"Hermione, are you crazy?!" the hunter green aura exclaimed. The purple one must be Hermione.

"Well, it did save us," said the copper aura said, it sounded strangely like James…

One was off! My vision was returning, and I could feel my magic coming back as well, then the other was off! I was whole again; quickly I buffed off the scars on my snout and launched myself into the air! This felt wonderful!

I landed then changed back into my human form. The three gasped, To hell with it, I thought, and I gave them a huge hug, before even looking at them properly.
