Author Note:
Draconic Hermione marks Harry as her mate. Power he knows not indeed. Focuses more on the early part of their relationship, some of the adjustments and cute interaction. Trying to write a story with a serious threat for two bonded mated dragons is not easy.
DennisUD: Some do write themselves more than others. At that point I have to reign it in. Some get shoved over to the expand into a long story file. Thanks for the compliment though.
N0wa5t3r: Yeah sometimes I like to take a break from bashing Ron or Ginny or Dumbledore or Snape. Some are easier to make sympathetic than others though. At least and not have to ignore huge gaping swathes of canon behaviors. As for how fast he jumped into a sexual relationship with her. She's Hermione. If she said it was in his best interests to jump off the Astronomy tower he would probably only slightly think about it. Plus these are short snippets so things get compressed a little bit. If I took more time to expand things out they would have a bit more growing and getting used to each other happen. About the curse. Yeah I got my wires crossed and messed up. My wife skimmed it and didn't catch it either. I corrected it after you pointed it out.
Stevem1: Yeah Draco should have been in for at least a few years for conspiracy and assault as well as attempted murder. I mean yeah if you try and look at the way his dad was you see he was an abused victim too but when he chose to take up the mantle in the 5th book he stopped being a victim and became a perpetrator. At that point any sympathy is gone.
OfficerDonNZ: Yeah I know. It happens. Two in a row with this one. Means next story I have to double down on his prattiness. Lol.
September 1st 1994
Harry and Ron were chatting with Ginny when they saw Hermione come through the barrier onto 9 and ¾. She must have been running very late as the Weasley's had been early and still among the last to board the train.
Ron waved at her as she came closer. She was walking in a straight line and making people get out of her way. Acting very strange compared to her normal mild mannered self. When she reached her friends she said nothing and grabbed Harry by the arm dragging him onto the train. Ron and Ginny looked at each other and followed them.
Reaching the first empty compartment Hermione one handed her trunk into the overhead rack. She turned to Harry and bit him on the junction between shoulder and neck drawing blood.
"OW Mione. What the hell?"
Inhaling deeply she smiled at him, "Sorry Harry I was just staking my claim for you to be my mate."
"Hunh what?" Harry said as Hermione got into her bag and pulled out a bottle of Essence of Dittany. Applying it to his wound.
"Mark you as my mate. That way your scent doesn't attract any other females."
"Blimey Hermione that's kinda familiar behavior."
"Oh really?" She said looking at him with a smirk.
"Uh yeah. Marking their mate is something Common Welsh Greens do. They're a matriarchal Dragon type. They mate for life too."
"I know. That's why I wanted to make sure I grabbed Harry first before anyone else did. He's the best possible mate and our clutch will be spectacular."
Ron backed a way from Hermione slowly. "Right uh Hermione you feeling okay?"
"Yeah I feel better than I have in my life."
"Then why are you talking like you think you're a dragon?"
"Because I am one Ron. Sort of. I am the first human dragon hybrid ever."
"Right. Okay."
She sat Harry down and grabbed Ron. Sitting him beside Harry she looked at Ginny who got the message and sat down beside her brother.
She sat down opposite them and sighed, "Look I can't shift into my hybrid or full forms right now but when we get to the school I promise I'll show you. You have to believe me. There are a few changes I can show you right now though."
She reached up and pulled out a pair of contact lenses. She then blinked a few times and smiled at them showing small fangs. Her eyes were the same rich brown except now they had no whites and vertical slit pupils.
"As you can see my eyes are the most noticeable change in my human form. I'm more muscular even if it doesn't look it. My breasts are still fully functional and sensitive. I even have them in my hybrid form. As a dragon I of course don't have them. My fangs inject my venom in what I bite. My senses are increased dramatically I can smell your fear Ron and Harry thank you for being aroused by me."
Harry blushed, "Uh yeah well."
"Nothing to be ashamed about Harry its perfectly natural."
"Uh your mind must have changed a bit too Hermione."
"Yes Ron it has. I took on some of the instincts of the dragon. But I have them under control. I'm still me."
"Well what were you doing that caused this?"
"I was working on a strength of the dragons potion. Its a really advanced and powerful potion that is supposed to grant a wizard incredible strength and power."
Ron frowned, "Hey my brother told me about that. It almost caused the Welshies to almost be hunted into extinction. Not to mention that's pretty hard to make."
"Well someone as smart as me should have been able to handle it. Only I was having trouble getting the dragon heart string to soften enough to mash so I put it in the microwave for several minutes. It reacted with the other compounds and turned me into this."
Ron was breathing hard trying not to freak out or make her angry. "Uh Hermione are you sure you're ok. I mean Dragons have a rather large ego."
"And you're saying that I have allowed my ego to become inflated. No Ron I've always had this ego I've just been more humble to avoid rubbing it in everyone's faces."
Harry laughed then went silent. "Okay so uh I take it hiding this is not going to be happening?"
"Probably not. I rather like it and its not like the Ministry and I'm sure the school haven't been told about it. Just everyone else is going to be the interesting thing. How they'll react."
"Well if you don't go biting Harry or anyone else that'll help." Ginny pointed out.
Hermione laughed, "Ok I won't bite anyone but Harry and then only a little bit during sex."
"OK well you're not shy anymore." Ron laughed while Harry got a very thoughtful look while rubbing his neck.
"Why should I be. I never should have been before this. I mean yeah I was never a knock out beauty but I was cute. I am the smartest person in the school. And now with the power upgrade I might even be the strongest. I'll have to challenge Hagrid to an arm wrestle."
=====xxxxx====
They had gotten food from the trolley and talked about Hermione's forms. She had pointed out in human she was still mostly human with appropriate reproductive systems. In Dragon though she had the draconic systems. So unless Harry turned into a dragon there was not going to be anything funny going on. Her hybrid form had both egg laying and a human reproductive system. Along with breasts. She called it a repto-mammiliian form.
She got a major grin just before Draco opened the door. "Well mudblood I heard some strange rumors about what you've been up to over the summer."
"Oh really?" She said stretching as she was curled up alongside Harry having shoved Ron and Ginny to the other seat while they talked.
"Seems you couldn't handle being a mudblood and had to turn yourself into an even bigger freak."
Harry and Ron jumped up but Hermione put her hands on their shoulders and pushed them back down into their seats. "Its okay boys. Let a real dragon handle the little pretender."
Harry and Ron decided that sitting down would be better than having their shoulder's broken given the pressure she was applying.
She walked over to Draco getting in his face. He was trying to keep a smug sneer on it but with her cold unblinking predatory gaze fixed on him it was difficult.
Her voice dropped in pitch and took on a husky gravelly timbre, "Little dragon I can smell your fear. Your heart is racing like a rabbit's. I wonder what it would taste like."
A dark stain spread on the front of Draco's trousers as he screamed, "My father will hear about this." And ran up the corridor. Goyle and Crabbe stood transfixed until Hermione turned to them and went "BOO!" then they clamored over each other
She went back to her seat laughing uproariously. "Oh my god it was wonderful. How he smelled when he was afraid. It was amazing."
Harry cast a cleaning charm on the floor then closed the door.
"Hermione. Given your condition irritating Malfoy is that really such a good idea?"
"Harry they already tried to have me declared a beast,a creature, a monster. The Wizengamut had to vote. I won by 5 votes. That was before I decided to do anything with this. I'll go run off to Romania before I let them do anything to me. Don't you realize that. When I marked you as my mate that marked me as well. If you die I die. If I die you die. We are mated for life. It is the way dragons work."
Harry looked at Ron who nodded, "Yeah that's what Charlie said. A mated pair only lives if both do."
"Hermione dragons can live for a thousand years. I'm just a wizard. I'll maybe get to be a hundred and fifty if I live as long as Dumbledore. Why limit yourself."
She put her hand gently on his face, "Because I realized that without you life wouldn't be as interesting. Or as enjoyable."
Ron got a strange expression, "Or maybe you'll live longer too Harry. Being the mate of a dragon it might work both ways. No one's ever done this before."
Hermione patted Ron on the knee, "See you do have a brain."
Ron started to say something then shook his head, "I'm gonna go see what Neville's doing and warn him. I'm sure Draco has screamed all up and down the train about this."
Ginny snorted ,"Yeah I'm surprised you don't have gawkers trying to crowd their way in."
"Well let them look. I'll be just fine." She said lounging back with her head in Harry's lap.
=====xxxxx====
Arriving at Hogsmeade Harry and Hermione got off the train hand in hand. That was when the gawking started. People pointed and stared. She heard several people whisper "But she still looks human."
Finally in the middle of the crowd she stopped and shouted, "Alright everyone. Fine. stop the whispering okay? I'm still me. I still have my mind and my brains and am not some animal. I'm not a beast going to terrorize everyone or eat you."
"Yeah right prove it." Someone from the crowd shouted causing murmurs.
She said to Harry and her friends, "You might want to step back a bit."
When they did she took a deep breath and suddenly her form started inflating she burst from her clothes and grew green scales, wings popped out soon she was a 20 foot long dragon. She laid down like a cat and stared at everyone. {You'll have to speak to them mate. Human language is not possible with a dragon mouth}
"Well how are you talking to me?"
{I'm thinking about it. Why?}
"Because I was just wondering if this was like the basilisk or not."
{I don't know. I just knew I could do it when I transformed. Let's call it magic ok?}
Everyone had recoiled and hidden when she transformed. But to see Harry walk up and rub her chin like a giant cat caused some to come out. Mostly Gryffindors but a few of the other houses. A small blonde Ravenclaw came up and joined Harry.
"You are very beautiful Hermione. I like the way your scales glisten in the sunshine."
{I like her}
"She likes you. I'm Harry."
"I know. You are her mate. I can tell. My name is Luna."
{Would the two of you like a ride to the castle?}
"She asks if you want to ride to the castle?"
"May I?"
{Yes just be careful not to get poked.}
Harry and Luna clambered onto her back. Hagrid was standing there looking at Hermione in sheer awe with tears running down his face. The first years forgotten about as the boats hurtled across the lake with them.
{Oh by the way Harry. I haven't tried flying yet} She mentally said with a laugh as she spread her wings and taking a running start leaped into the air.
"I thought you hated heights?" He shouted as they were climbing upwards.
{That was the old me. The dragon me is not afraid of heights.}
Luna held her arms around Harry's waist as Hermione dipped and swooped her way to the castle. By the time she glided into a landing on the front lawn the carriages had arrived and the professors were staring at her.
Dumbledore was grinning at her as she landed. "Well done. Well done indeed."
Harry and Luna got off her back. Luna giving her a kiss on the jaw. "Thank you Hermione that was very fun."
{Harry give her a hug for me.}
Harry chuckled and hugged Luna, "Hermione says that's from her."
"Thank you. I know how much it means to allow another fertile female to touch your mate."
Hermione blinked several times as she seemed to realize something. {She's right. A real dragon would not have allowed that kind of intimate touch.}
"Well maybe you've not got all the dragon instincts."
{Possible.}
Dumbledore came over with some robes. "I understand you have some wardrobe issues Miss Granger. If you and Harry would go behind the sheds over there you can transform back."
{Thank him for me Harry.} She said after nodding and heading that way.
"Thank you sir."
"Harry a word of relationship advice. In most relationships angering your partner is not a wise idea, in this one I have a feeling that will go double."
"Yes sir."
"Just remember the school motto, never tickle a sleeping dragon."
Harry chuckled and headed over to the location she had walked to. Hermione was laying there patiently her wings folded against her sides.
{Oh my god Harry I can see why you love to fly. It was so amazing. And to feel the wind over my body. That was sooo exhilarating.}
Harry barely had time to notice that she had shifted back to her normal human form when she was jumping him and tearing his clothes off.
=====xxxxx=====
They entered the castle a bit later. Harry was limping and wincing on occasion but had a huge grin still. Dumbledore was standing at the entrance. "Well I trust you feel better?"
Harry just nodded he was sure he had broken a rib but it would heal. It was certainly worth it.
"Yes sir. I feel great."
"You do recall that the prophylactic potion no longer works on you?"
"Yes sir. I know my cycle. I can somehow feel when I'm fertile. I'm a week away from that."
"Very good just so long as you take all precautions. I will take you down to the kitchens so you may have dinner now. Also I need to tell you about something that is occurring this year."
======xxx-xxx=====
By the time they got back to the common room it was almost bedtime. Hermione was frowning and grumbling to herself. "This tri-wizard tournament sounds like another way to try and kill you. I am serious Harry."
Sighing he nodded in agreement, "Yeah probably. What can I do about it?"
"I don't know. But I'll have to do some research. This is definitely not going to be a fun year."
Sitting up was Ron, Neville and Ginny. They looked visibly relieved when the two of them came in.
"Blimey mate. The rumors that were going around. We were wondering what happened."
"What rumors?"
"Well Seamus was saying that you had eaten Harry after mating with him. I think he got dragons mixed up with spiders." Neville said boredly.
"That wouldn't be fun." Hermione shook her head.
Ginny laughed, "Yeah well we kinda heard some stuff from behind the shed."
Hermione stood up straight, "Okay so I'm a bit of screamer now."
"A bit? Blimey Hermione. You sounded worse than moaning Myrtle."
"What can I say Harry is a great mate."
"Okay well since you're his bonded mate I'll never know." Ginny tried to sound light hearted but failed.
Hermione bit her lip then released it but said, "Ginny wait. Come here."
"What?"
"I want to see something. Okay. You trust me right?"
"Yeah I do." Ginny said with only a moment of hesitation.
"Ron, Neville you trust me right?"
"Uh yeah. Just what are you doing?"
Neville was looking at her in curiosity too but nodded.
"Okay well Welsh dragons mate for life right?"
"Yeah. That's what Charlie has said."
"Right that's what the books I read on me said too. I wonder if the blood I used wasn't from another dragon type and the only reason I turn into a Welsh Green is because of the Heart String."
"What you think that you got a mix? That don't make sense."
"I don't know. But you saw Luna was holding Harry around the waist. A Welsh Green would never have allowed her mate to be held like that by a fertile female. And trust me I could smell she was fertile and aroused Harry."
"Oh uh that's good to know."
"Yeah. So's Ginny right now and she's nervous a bit."
Ginny blushed, "Okay you and that super nose of yours. What are you wanting to prove."
"That maybe I'm still more me than the Dragon. That I can control the dragon instincts. I've spent the last month just working on controlling my form. I haven't worked on my mind. I haven't had a reason to really. So I'm worried a bit. Okay. I want to just test myself."
"You're afraid you're losing your human mind?" Harry asked.
"Yeah it scares me. I think that scares me more than anything else."
Ginny rubbed Hermione's arm. "I can understand. Okay. We had an uncle who got senile. He forgot who we were and it was hard as a little kid trying to understand him."
"Yeah. Dad tried to explain things but we understand Herms. We want to help you and support you okay?"
"Thanks guys. I'm glad I have friends like you. Okay Gin stand in front of Harry. Maybe arms length away from each other."
Harry and Ginny looked at each other then sighing stepped that distance apart.
"Ok now walk towards Harry until I say stop or you bump into him."
Ginny started walking she got to the point that her breasts almost touched his chest before Hermione growled. Ginny stopped and Hermione visibly tried to calm down. "Okay Sorry. uh. Maybe try to hug him."
Ginny looked at Harry and Ron who both looked concerned. She raised her arms and started to put them around Harry when Hermione grabbed one of her arms and threw her across the common room. She landed with a thud rolling into a crouch. "OW. Dammit Mia." Neville moved over to help her up.
"Sorry sorry. Are you okay. I'm sorry. Dammit dammit dammit. I'm a human. I'm a human. I shouldn't have done that. I should be able to overcome that."
"Herms. No you're not a human."
Hermione stopped her hyperventilating to fix Ron with a glare. She growled, "Whats that supposed to mean."
"Look in a mirror. No seriously. You are more than a mere human. You are something else. Dragons are not known for weak wills. Mental spells don't work on them."
"So what are you saying? I'm just going to react without thinking that my mind doesn't matter."
"Not where Harry counts. He's your mate Herms. YOUR MATE. You marked him. Welshies mate for life. You marked Harry."
"Maybe it was just because it looked like she was going to kiss him or something then. I mean Luna rode behind him on my back. She was fully ovulating and ready to go. But Ginny is aroused and she has several days before she ovulates. So I don't understand. I don't know what's going on."
"Well maybe its just Luna. Okay."
"Maybe. So now what?"
"Okay one last test turn around Harry." Ron directed Harry.
Harry did so but said, "Okay but if Ginny gets hurt don't blame Mione."
"I won't. Okay. I'll take full responsibility and tell mom myself if anything happens."
Ginny snorted in scorn, "You might as well let Mia bite your head off now. It'll be quicker."
"Look I believe in her. If anyone can match wills with a dragon its her."
"Thanks Ron. I don't know."
"No Mia. I'll move slower and just put my arms around his waist. In a safe area not too close to his junk or anything."
"Okay."
Ginny got up close enough that her breasts were touching his back before Hermione started growling again. Ginny stepped back. "Mia?"
"I fought it but the Dragon wanted to hurt you Ginny. I don't think you could have touched him yet but I fought it. A little bit."
"Good. Okay cool."
"Yeah I'm going to go up and go to bed. I'm getting a headache."
Harry and her hugged and kissed goodnight. She went up and Harry stood there sighing.
"Okay. Hey Gin can you stay a minute."
"Yeah Ron what?"
"Harry can you come back over?"
"Yeah sure what now Ron?"
"Well now that Hermione is not here can you smell her or feel her?"
"No she' sin the showers right now."
Ron raised an eyebrow, "In the showers?"
"Uh yeah she just got in the water. Why?"
"No no reason. UH try hugging Ginny?"
"What?"
"Well Hermione bit you. I wonder if anything happened to you."
"You think he's got some sort of dragon powers too?"
"Well Dragons inject their venom in their mates to mark them. I forget how it works according to Charlie but their venom doesn't kill others of their own kind and they only inject it in their mate when they mark them."
"So what's that mean for me?"
"Well if I'm right then Ginny won't do squat for you anymore Harry. No girl will."
Ginny looked at her brother, "You want me to try and seduce him?"
"Well no maybe not seduce him. But at least kiss him on the lips."
Ginny looked at Harry, "Okay but I'm not telling Hermione."
"Good idea. Mate." Neville observed.
Ginny put her arms around Harry and leaned in. Their lips met and a moment later Harry was pulling away spitting. "Bleah. What have you been eating Gin? Your mouth tastes horrible."
Ginny looked like he had slapped her, "I haven't eaten anything."
"So how does she smell."
Harry glared at Ron but leaned in and sniffed Ginny's hair, "She smells okay. Just kinda flowery and okay.
"Does nothing for you?"
"You mean am I turned on. Do I have a stiffie for your sister?"
"Well maybe not so crass but yeah?"
"No I don'" Harry said in an odd tone. I mean I should shouldn't I?"
Ginny said, "Ron Nev turn your backs."
"Why?" Ron asked and before he could Ginny had lifted her shift towards Harry. He looked then shrugged. "Nice you're growing a nice pair there."
She lowered her shirt with a sigh. "Nothing?"
"Nope. What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing at all mate. That's exactly what you are. IF Hermione came down here like that you'd be all over her. Not a single girl in this school other than her is going to get you going anymore man."
"Oh. Well that'll be uh. Okay well I guess that's no big deal."
"Yeah."
"Okay good night guys. I'm going to bed."
"Night Harry."
Neville put his hand on Ginny's shoulder. "Hey sorry. I know you had a crush on him."
"It showed that bad?"
"Just a bit Gin."
=====xxxxx=====
The next morning Harry was changing shirts when Ron grabbed him, "Blimey Harry you need to go to Hospital."
"What." Harry said muffled by his shirt.
"Damn that's ugly." Seamus said.
Harry stopped trying to put his shirt on and stood there bare chested, "What's ugly?" He looked at himself and saw that there was a greenish blue bruise on his neck where Hermione had bit him. It had dark green veins radiating outward from it down his arm, up his neck and across his chest and back. "Shit!"
"Yeah man. You need to go to Pomfrey and get that taken care of."
"NO Ron. They'll blame Hermione and get her in trouble. You said this is how Dragons mark their mate,I'm her mate. It'll fade. I'll just get Hermione to put some Dittany on it."
"She used her Venom. On Dragons it doesn't hurt them You're not a dragon."
"I'll be fine guys. Look it'll clear up. If it hasn't by tomorrow I'll go."
"By tomorrow you could be dead. Remember my hand after Norberta?"
"Ron I'll be fine. Leave it alone." Harry growled in a deep warning tone.
Ron, Neville, Seamus and Dean all stepped back from Harry.
He took a deep breathe and pulled his shirt and robes on. "Okay. I'll take care of it."
====xxxxx====
Harry fought them for the next several days before it had spread to his hand and up into his face. He couldn't hide it from anyone. When Hermione saw him coming down she ran to him, "OH my god Harry. What's going on?"
"I'm fine. I feel okay."
"No you're not. You're burning up. You have an infection. Oh crap when I marked you it must have poisoned you. Oh god I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
[Mione. STOP IT! NOW]
{Harry?}
[What?]
{Uh you are talking to me mentally}
[Really?]
{Yeah.}
Everyone had frozen when they saw Harry and moved when Hermione ran to him. Someone had gone to get Professor McGonnegal. Soon the two teens were being hustled to the hospital wing.
=====xxxxx=====
"Professor Dumbledore I'm Sorry. I didn't mean to poison Harry. I just reacted when I saw him on the platform. I mean I was going to ask him to be my boyfriend and I have strong feelings for him I realized but I didn't mean to poison him."
Dumbledore patted her shoulder. "You did not intentionally do it and I doubt you have poisoned him. A Welsh Green's venom is not lethal until after she has mated for the first time."
"Yeah for a dragon. Harry's not a dragon."
"Yet, I suppose. We do not know exactly what is going to happen to him. We do live in a world of magic. You transformed quite nicely according to Hagrid's descriptions of you."
"Thanks of course I did."
"Well what makes you think that your desire for a mate. Someone like you. Someone you could have as an equal in all things is not causing your magic to change Harry. Plus his desire to be all you need causing him to change."
She cleared her throat, "Uh yeah after the first night I got scared. I hurt Harry but he refused to tell anyone or say anything."
"Well he cares very deeply about you and refuses to see you hurt. I believe he felt that way even before your change."
"If you say so sir."
"Well I may not have the hubris of a Dragon but I am rather self-confident in my assessment of students under my care."
Madam Pomfrey came out. "Miss Granger you can see Harry."
Approaching the bed she saw Harry laying there with a smile, "Hey. I asked Pomfrey if I could tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"In a few days you won't be the only dragon around here."
"What?"
He turned his head towards her showing the green scales that were forming on his neck, "See. Somehow your venom must have still held some of the potion or something. At least that's what Pomfrey says. So at the very least I might be a partial. We'll find out."
She didn't know how to react. She finally threw her arms around him and hugged him.
=====xxxxx=====
A week later Harry fully shifted into a 18 foot long Welsh Green. Hagrid and his friends admired him although Hermione and Minerva had to talk him through his change back to human. It appeared that unlike Hermione he had a human or dragon form and nothing in between.
He spent October working on how to be a dragon with Hermione and Hagrid's help. Hagrid was proud to be chosen to help them and work with them to learn about Welsh Greens. He even happily got them to let him brush their scales. With his help the gleamed and shone in the sun.
They would fly any chance they could It felt amazing and the two teen dragons had a few intimate moments in their either of their forms. Having flown in dragon form to a cave they found that they turned into a love nest. Making sure that Hermione's cycle was such that it did not become a literal nest. One day in post coital bliss they saw Luna across the lake.
{Hey worrying about you made me forget that she hugged you without me snapping her neck. I thought it was cute.}
[Well maybe she's a dragon too.] he chuckled.
She slapped him with a huge meaty paw. {Be serious}
[I am. Do we really know all the secrets of everyone around here?]
{I suppose not. You want to go talk to her?}
[Sure]
The two dragons circling and swooping down to land beside the blonde made her smile.
"Hello Harry, Hermione. You have a bit of tree in your horn Harry."
[oh thanks] he said taking a claw and rubbing it out.
"You're welcome"
{You understood Harry?}
"Yes Hermione. I understand you as well."
{But how? Are you a dragon too?}
"Thank you for the compliment but no. I wish I was sometimes then maybe the Nargles wouldn't bother me."
[Than how do you understand us?]
"It's hard to explain but my family are descended from ancient dragon riders in the days of Atlantis. They bonded with dragons and were family. The Common Welsh Green are descended from those bloodlines. So we are family. That is the most simple explanation."
{That's why you can touch Harry without setting me off? I mean I have to fight to let Ginny even come close to him.}
"That's because you know Ginny wanted to mate with him. DO you have that reaction to any other girls?"
{Well no not that bad. Most of the girls know better than to flirt with him. Although Lavender did get slapped when she was joking around about if Harry's dragon enhancements stayed in his human form."
[She was asking about my penis.]
Luna looked under Harry causing him to laugh, "I sincerely doubt she would enjoy sexual relations with you Harry. You would split her in half."
[Yeah. I think that's more what got her slapped than any threat to our bond.]
{Well it was rather personal. And besides its not like she can't see everything right now.}
"You should be aware that your love cave can be seen directly into from the top of the astronomy tower. The Weasley twins have been charging admission for when you have your love trysts."
[Hey I better ask them for a cut of that.]
{Really. Maybe we better start putting on a better show.}
"I suppose the rumors of draconic egos are true."
[Maybe a little bit.]
{Probably the only little thing on us.}
"So may I go for a ride?"
[yeah sure which one of us?]
"I don't mind. Either one of you would be fine."
====xxxxx====
Luna soon became their friend causing the Nargles to decide not to mess with her. Draco had also decided that messing with Harry or Hermione or their friends was a bad idea.
====xxxxx====
The night of the names being drawn Harry's name came out as he was expecting. He stood up getting ready to go back when Madam Maxine and Karkaroff both protested and refused to compete. Citing ancient codes and laws they would declare the tournament invalidated by a dragon being entered.
Harry felt the bond of the magical contract trying to attach to his magical core but the Goblet did not recognize him as a wizard for some reason. His draconic nature too close to the surface at the moment the piece of paper exploded into fire and ash. The flames swirling in the goblet then going out.
After a quick consultation it seems the Goblet had detected that Harry was an invalid entrant. His draconic nature. So they would have to have a redraw in 24 hours. And that Harry would not be a valid entrant. This seemed to enrage Alastair Moody who threw an Avada Kedavra that hit Harry straight in the back. He learned that being a dragon did not protect against that. In the middle of the screaming chaos the fact that Hermione had fallen as well was noticed by only a few of their friends.
=====xxxxx=====
Harry woke up hearing Hermione groaning beside him he rolled over and grabbed her. "Mione!"
"Harry what happened? You got hit by the killing curse again."
"Oh that was not fun."
"I'm sure it wasn't son." Said a voice from behind him,
Harry spun and saw his mom and dad standing there looking at them.
"Mom! Dad!" He ran over and grabbed them in a hug.
Hermione stood back until Lily looked up and with her other arm opened it to welcome her in. They had a four way hug for several minutes.
"Okay little sparky. We need to hurry up. There isn't much time before you have to go back."
"Do we have to?"
"Yes the both of you have to. You're a bonded pair of dragons. Can't send one back without the other." James said.
Harry and Hermione held hands.
"Now there are a few things we need to explain." Lily said. She and James explained about the Horcrux, about the Spirit of Voldemort being held here by these items. How they would have to fight against him and his followers but that together they would win.
====xxxxx====
Harry and Hermione both stood up. There was a regular spell battle going on between Moody and pretty much everyone else. He had pulled several Slytherins over in front of him as a shield wall which limited the response the professors could do.
Hermione transformed into her hybrid form and picking up a chair transfigured it into a spear. Harry used his wand to fire spells to protect her while Dumbledore seem to figure things out moved furniture into the way to protect against the AKs Moody threw at her.
She used her draconic vision to wait for an opening then hurled the spear with all her might that pinned Moody to the wall. He struggled briefly then died. When he did he started shifting and turned into Barty Crouch Junior.
Harry and Hermione took Dumbledore off and informed him about the Horcrux and the fight they were going to face.
The tournament was declared null and void. No one participated and the other schools went home. Dumbledore left the school in Minerva's hands and went on the Horcrux hunt. He found the ring and the locket. Sirius had helped him with that one. Luna helped them find the room of requirement. Two dragons breathing fire into the room worked just as well as Fiendfyre to destroy the Diadem. As well as everything else in the room.
Soon Voldemort had found a way to restore his body but was far weaker. He came to the school to attack them that May. Harry and Hermione had been dragons for less than a year but they were ready. The battle was spectacular and Voldemort had brought his own dragons but Luna riding on Harry's back into battle had managed to turn them against Voldemort. Soon the fires of a dozen dragons left the Death Eater armies nothing more than piles of smoldering ash.
Voldemort refused to surrender without destroying as many as he could. He felt that he had only Nagini left until Neville and Ron working together managed to destroy the snake by banishing basilisk fangs into it. Voldemort stumbled and was ready to fall when Harry and Hermione landed on either side of him. Grasping him in their mouths they pulled like dogs fighting over a chew toy tearing him in half.
Shifting back to humans their first request was for mouthwash, their second was for robes. Soon the wizarding world had celebrated the dragons and learned why Hogwarts motto was Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
Harry became defense professor after he graduated and eventually Headmaster. Hermione worked with Luna to preserve Dragons in Wales. Her cousins and friends as they recognized her as one of them. Harry and her had several dragon human hybrids. With only one of their children being pure human and two pure dragon. To everyone's surprise.
Ron and Luna married as while Luna was like a sister to Hermione she was still not going to be mating with Harry. Their children appreciated Dragons and never feared them.
Neville and Ginny married and had several children. Neville being the herbology professor under Harry's tenure was long and proud.
Harry and Hermione both did love and live for a long time. Longer than a magical but less than a dragon.
