Chapter ten

Everyone could see Harry dragon standing near Charlie and the healer was up against the wall. Slowly Harry changed back, but he was panting heavily, he also seemed to be very pale.

Kingsley grabbed Harry's arm, 'Let the healer deal with Charlie.'

'He's heart rate is low, he's lost a lot of blood,' Harry never stopped staring at Charlie and the healer, Ron handed Harry his clothes, so even as he dressed he never took his eyes off Charlie. Ron noticed Harry seemed to be forcing himself to stand which reminded him that Harry and Charlie will feel each other's pain and if the worst happened and one died, the other would. So Ron put his arm around Harry's waist, holding him up. He knew there was no use trying to get Harry to rest, he wouldn't, not until they knew how Charlie would be.

They all stood as the healer finally started to treat Charlie, the bleeding stopped, then the healer poured three potions into Charlie's mouth before he faced the group.

'Sorry about before, I'm still learning to control this.'

'It's fine Mr. Potter and I do know about Morphixen's, now you're partner is going to be alright, but he will need a lot of potions, creams and rest for a couple of weeks. When he wakes up, I will check him again, if I think he's okay and has someone that can look after him, he can go home.'

'I'm sure mum will until you get home from work Harry.'

'Yeah,' Harry stepped over to Charlie, sat on the bed and took his hand, 'She used Snape's curse on him, that's the pain I felt.'

'Blimey, she knows that took George's ear and you almost killed Malfoy using that. I can't believe she'd do that to her own brother.' Kingsley said.

'How is he?' Molly ran into the room and straight over to the bed.

'He's going to be fine mum, but the healer said he'll need someone to be with him at home. Harry needs to stay at the office, he is head auror.' Ron said.

'I'll look after him Harry,' Molly hugged him, 'Don't worry.'

'I can't believe she did that to Charlie.'

'No, I can't either. The healer said she has a lot of broken bones, some from your jaws and some from when you dropped her. She also has a few punctures due to your teeth.'

'Sorry Mrs. Weasley, I saw Charlie covered in blood and I just lost it. I still have trouble controlling this Morphixen especially when it comes to Charlie being in danger or hurt.'

'We know and Ginny was warned to stay away from both of you. She's loved you for so long Harry, but she will get used to you being with Charlie.'

'Hhhmmm, Harry,' Charlie groaned softly.

'I'm here babe,' Harry waited until Charlie opened his eyes, 'Hi.'

'Hi, what happened?'

'Ginny, she used sectumsempra on you a couple of times.'

'Is she alive Harry?'

'Yes, badly injured but I never burned her even though I could feel I wanted to, I didn't. I was able to stop that coming out.'

'Mr. Weasley, tell me if you have any pain?'

'Um, my chest hurts a bit, not bad though and my backside hurts, again, it's not that bad.'

'Yes, they were the two area's the spell hit you. It looks like she hit your buttocks first then you're chest. Now they will scar, but they are healing nicely. I've told your partner you can go home, only with someone there to look after you.'

'I'm going to go to your house every day Charlie, so I can look after you.'

'Thanks mum, what's wrong with Ginny though?'

'Harry had her in his jaw, so broken bones and a few puncture wounds from his teeth. When I yelled at Harry to take you to St mungo's, he dropped her, she was up high as well, so more broken bones.'

'The healer looking after her said she needs to stay here for a week.'

'She snuck up on me, I didn't see her at all. But is she going to be alright?'

'Yes, she'll be fine and when she wakes up, she will realise how lucky she was.'

'You sort of got to ride Harry though Charlie even if you were in his mouth and not on his back,' Ron smirked.

'I ride him all the time,' Charlie laughed softly but grabbed his chest.

'Not that type of riding Charlie,' Ron scowled, 'Harry as his dragon put you in his mouth then brought you here.'

'When you're well I'll take you for a proper fly,' Harry turned to Kingsley, 'I have to go with Charlie today Kingsley, Ron can look after the office until tomorrow.'

'Alright, but as you're all still learning, you can't have too much time off. We'll get back to the office now, we'll see you tomorrow.'

'Thanks Kingsley,' Charlie gave him a smile then waved at the other aurors as they left, 'So can I go home now?'

'Yes, with help and you rest, straight to bed and stay there for the rest of the day. Tomorrow you can lie on the settee, but nothing else, not for a week or two. I will need to check you in a week, so come back then.'

'I'll bring him back, thanks and again I'm sorry about the dragon before.'

'Harry, did you scare the healer?'

'All I kept seeing was you bleeding to death, I couldn't turn back, I needed to protect you.'

'He was a little frightening and I wouldn't like to face a full size dragon.'

'That's what Charlie did, he was a dragon handler,' Harry said.

'So that's why Mr. Potter's Morphixen turned into a dragon. If you don't mind me asking, what did you change into Mr. Weasley?'

'A stag, like Harry's patronus, my patronus is a dragon.'

'My patronus became a stag because my father's animagi was a stag.'

'I have read that each will represent their life partners. Now remember, bed rest, oh and no sex, sorry. That injury was serious and will take at least two weeks before you can have sex.'

'She did that deliberately,' Charlie growled, 'I'll get my sister back for this.'

'Charlie,' Molly scolded, 'she's hurt, she's already suffering because of what she did. You can go without shagging Harry for two weeks, so behave yourself.'

'You're mum's spoken love. Now let me help you up,' Harry put his arm around Charlie, Molly handed Harry some robes, so Harry helped Charlie into the robe before Molly put her arm around Charlie and helped him to his feet. The healer handed Molly a jar of cream and a large potion vial, 'Thanks again,' Harry shook the healers hand.

'You're welcome, look after him.'

'We plan to,' Molly smiled then helped Harry with Charlie. They passed the room with Ginny and Arthur. Arthur came out to help Charlie so Molly could go in to see her daughter. 'I'll be at your place first thing tomorrow Harry.'

'Thanks Mrs. Weasley,' Harry kept his face averted from Ginny so he's dragon self didn't take over.

Harry and Arthur got Charlie home and up into the bedroom, then Arthur stepped out while Harry undressed Charlie then covered him up before calling Arthur in.

'That's a large scar Charlie.'

'Yeah, the ones on my arse are worse, bloody Ginny.'

Harry snickered, 'We can't have sex for two weeks, so we think Ginny did it deliberately.'

'She probably did. Now remember, if you need help with him Harry, just floo me. I'll be home after I go back and check on Ginny.'

'I'm sure I'll be fine, thanks Mr. Weasley.'

'Thanks dad, tell Ginny I won't forget this and if she comes anywhere near me or Harry, my antlers will do worse.'

Arthur nodded as he sighed because he knew Charlie would do what he threatened. She had to be made to understand it wasn't Charlie's fault or Harry's fault, it's was just nature and Harry was born a Morphixen and Charlie was his mate. Now she just had to learn to live with it.
