Chapter six

Harry, Charlie, Ron and Hermione stepped into Harry's house and stared around at the mess and broken items scattered everywhere.

'What did you two do?' Hermione asked as she gazed around at the damage.

'You really don't want to know Hermione, but it was fun,' Charlie grinned, 'I'll take my stuff up Harry, then we need to eat, I'm starved.'

'I'll go start on dinner, then we'll fix everything.'

'You go do dinner Harry, I'm sure Ron and I can take care of all this. Just try and be careful next time. Especially if you decide to mate as your dragon and stag, imagine the damage then.'

Harry laughed, 'We'll try, but thanks,' Harry walked into the kitchen and started to put together dinner for the four of them, Charlie came in to help, then Hermione and Ron sat at the table watching the two men, who couldn't seem to stop touching each other.

'You two aren't going to take off, or shag right here, are you?' Ron asked, grimacing at the thought.

'No, we're hungry, we'll shag after,' Charlie said as he started floating plates to the table.

'Yep, we will later,' Harry floated the last of the plates and everyone dished up.

'I think you should consider putting a block on the fireplace Harry, just in case.' Hermione said.

'You think Ginny will come here?' Charlie asked.

'Yes, and I think she will during the night. So after we leave, seal the house, but block the floo, maybe it would be a good idea to enchant the place.'

'I never thought of that Hermione and you're right, she just might. It was strange before, even though I could hear Harry's growls, I felt it, felt the rage inside me, but the protectiveness towards Harry. I was going to do anything to make sure he was safe.'

'Yeah, I felt the same way Charlie, but I was able to pull back so I never breathed fire.'

'So if dad didn't take Ginny upstairs, both of you might have done something?' Ron asked.

'Yeah, we could feel each other and knew what the other was going to do. My antlers, well imagine what damage that could have done. If Harry breathed fire, the whole house and everyone could have been hurt or killed. Now since he is smaller than a normal dragon, he might have just hurt Ginny, depending on if he could control his flames and where they went.'

'I never read anything about that, but I will finish those books and let you know if there's anything else you need to know.'

'The more we know, the better we can understand all this and we do need to understand everything that could happen,' Harry said.

'Um Harry, you were dating Ginny right, well how do you feel going from straight to gay in a few minutes?'

'It's not really like that Ron, it's hard to explain. I don't see myself as gay or straight, I just see and feel Charlie and he's who I have to be with. We need to be together, but more importantly, we want to, in every way.'

'Yeah, I feel the same, I was shagging woman, and even though I'm shagging Harry, it's not about being gay or straight, it's just about us, we have to be together.'

'Don't you feel like you're had your decisions taken away from you though. If Harry didn't see you, you'd still be shagging woman?' Ron asked.

'Again, it doesn't feel like that. The moment I saw Harry jump over that railing, I felt it, something inside was just drawn to him, like we were made for each other. We are literally soul mates, life mates, we want each other.'

'I read about that and that's how it is. You could have been friends for years, but the moment the Morphixen emerges, you see who you belong with. If say you were in Romania from before Harry turned eighteen, nothing would have changed, not until you saw each other. There's been cases where a man was married, had kids, but when he reached fifty three, he literally bumped into another man walking out the door of a shop. From then on, they were together.'

'What happened to the wife and kids?' Harry asked.

'Once they explained everything to the wife, it took her a while, but she did accept it, so the father still saw his kids. He was a tiger, his mate was a unicorn, unlikely pair, but you just go with what the other likes. So the tiger sometimes transformed and let his kids ride on his back, the unicorn did as well, but not for a while as it took the kids a long time to accept that their father was no longer with their mother. One thing that seems to happen with all Morphixen's, one will be a magical creature, like a unicorn or dragon, one will be a normal animal, stag or tiger. The couples always seem to be completely different animals.'

'That just reminded me, I felt jealous that you three got to ride a dragon, I've worked with them, but never ridden one,' Charlie grinned at Harry, 'What do you say?'

Harry laughed, 'We could do that, I think it'll be fun having you on my back,' Harry looked at his friends, 'What about you two, want a ride?'

'No thank you, once was enough Harry,' Hermione shook her head.

'Maybe I will, I'll let you know. But if you start doing that, imagine when all of us have kids, they'll all want uncle Harry to take them for a fly. You'll never get any peace.'

The four of them laughed, 'I wouldn't mind and in a way the kids will be introduced to a dragon that won't try to eat them. Charlie can tell them all about dragons and I can give them a fly. It's actually a good way for kids to learn about something that is normally so dangerous. But Hermione, this baby I could have, it won't be a Morphixen, will it?'

'No, for whatever reason someone just gets chosen and they are usually powerful. So if you're son or daughter is powerful, then there is a chance, but it would have nothing to do with you.'

'Okay, I was just wondering if it could happen. I love it, but does everyone that becomes a Morphixen like it?'

'I know I do even if I wish I could be a dragon, or maybe a hippogriff, something that flies.'

'As for what you asked Harry, yes, well after they accept the change, usually it does happen straight away, like with you two. But there's been a few cases where they didn't want it. No reason was given as to why though.'

'It's interesting, because if I was to choose an animal, I don't think I would have chosen a dragon. Maybe a phoenix, I love Fawkes, or a panther, I always liked those large cats.'

'Well as Charlie likes dragons; you got to be a dragon. But Charlie turning into a stag, there are deep feelings inside you Harry; the changed sensed it, that's why Charlie became a stag. There are no reasons given to why each Morphixen will become a certain animal. It could have nothing to do with what you like or dislike, there is no way of knowing.'

Harry and Charlie both nodded but it made them both think about their feelings, how Charlie sensed Harry, when Harry just admitted he loved the phoenix and panther's. Maybe it had something to do with each other and not really which animals they liked.

'Tomorrow you need to set up a potions room or just use the kitchen. After forty eight hours you could fall pregnant, so you need to make the potion. Luckily it doesn't take long to make and you only have to drink it once a week.'

'We'll go shop for everything in the morning, now I hope it doesn't taste terrible like Madame Pomfrey's always did.' So for the next few hours, the four of them kept talking about Morphixen's and what Harry and Charlie could expect.

After Hermione and Ron left, Harry did seal the house and blocked the floo. Ron was going to explain to the family why they couldn't floo to Harry's place. They all thought that was smart because Ginny was still angry and being stubborn, she just wouldn't listen and keeps blaming Charlie for her losing Harry.
