Chapter 21: How to raise a dragon.

It's finally starting to become spring here in the Scottish Highlands which means endless rain. Got to love British isle weather. My father has been seeing a mind healer for the past eight days on a daily basis and I just found out from a letter that my mom is also helping him. Well after he survives all the snu-snu. He already said his pelvis was broken three times so far. I would pray for him but one the biblical god is dead in the is world, and he's with a devil probably not going to work.

Well my draws are as followed.

On another note it's close to the dragon egg scene in the first books. Maybe I can convince Hagrid I can take care of the dragon instead of Charlie Weasley. Though the forbidden forest scene probably won't happen unless I make it happen, I'll just have to tell the others so they are in the know. Dumbledore is getting on my nerves quite easily. Always asking for me to come to his office to talk, even a public spectacle in which I got the teachers on my side didn't deter him. My father isn't even safe from his pestering.

Today the girls and I were called to see professor sprout and when we arrived most of the teachers bar Snape and Dumbledore were there. We were informed that we are eligible to take the advanced wizarding education decree or (A.W.E.D.). Apparently it is a advanced program that shoves two school years into one year meaning we could graduate after our fourth year. On normal circumstances this wouldn't have even effected Hogwarts since Dumbledore wouldn't allow it when he was headmaster but since his position is basically a figure head it is in effect. Out of the entire school the girls and I along with Daphne Greengrass and Tracy Davis of Slytherin are the only other eligible candidates. I'm fact we already have done the entire course for a first year last semester when we did the supposed midterms.

Well any way Hermione, Helena and I are in the library studying up on some work and copying notes while I also start on runes work for my class next year which I already picked. The girls and I picked the classes for next year which includes care of magical creatures, arithmacy and runes. I talked Hermione out of muggle studies since the information is at least a century old or more. Outrage was a kind term compared to Hermione's opinion on the subject especially since I threw my two cents in that Dumbledore is keeping it this way on purpose. Well as we were studying we see Hagrid talking to Ron trying to calm him down but we hear it.

" Dragon care they're just stupid beasts why bother with them Hagrid. Mom always says Charlie picked a bad career in Romania working with dragons." Says Ron rather loudly. He leaves along with Hagrid following shortly after quite subdued on the conversation on the subject. Hermione and Helena follow Hagrid to cheer him up along with Umbreon. This reminds me of the Hungarian horntail egg I have sitting in the inventory. Thankfully time doesn't pass in it or there would probably be a dead baby dragon inside. I get up and follow Ron to his common room and hear the password for Gryffindor house. I smile at the next bit of vengeance we will strike.

" Ebony I want you to enact the prank on Ron Weasley. Shave his head and dress him in drag. I'll find a way to get him to sing sweet transvestite. " I say as my shadow grins and follows into the common room before the portrait closed.

That night when the girls returned Hermione and Helena decided to tell about the library incident and the dragon egg. Susan was immediately concerned not about Hagrid having a illegal dragon egg but someone casually having one. Dragon trading is especially forbidden by law since the early 1900's but people still get their money out of the trade. Hermione was worried about it being so close to the school and harming a student though she did joke if it are Dumbledore or Snape she might give it a kiss. Now I'm jealous of a baby dragon that hasn't been hatched yet. Helena immediately suspects Quirrel but I also suspect Dumbledore is in on it as well.

The next morning Helena and I decided to go to Hagrid's hut.

" So Helena how are you doing. I know we see each other everyday but I noticed you spacing out. Anything wrong?" I question as we walk past the flying lawn to Hagrid's hut. The cool crisp air flowing around us as it blows Helena's hair.

" I'm fine it's just that I feel like this ordeal is about to come to an end and I don't know if I'm ready." Says Helena," I know that you have been teaching all of us as well as Lyra many spells and techniques to help but I feel as if it isn't enough."

" It probably isn't but we actually won't know until we actually come to that." I say before pulling her behind a tree which she immune blushes.

" Um kyros not that I mind a song but could we wait till later. " She says looking away. I chuckle before pulling out the copy of Canis Lykoan. I hold a small orange size orb that is colored like shadows.

" This is a sacred gear it's known as Canis Lykoan also the shadow blade of the wolf king. It gives you a holy/ demonic blade of a fire god from Shinto mythology but also the powers to conceptually control shadows. " I say as her eyes widen," I want to give this to you as a set of extra protection."

" Why?" She asks," why do this. You're so kind to me and I don't know how to repay you." She cries a little before I hug her. She accepts the sacred gear but decides to take it when we get back to the room of requirement. Soon we separate and head of to talk with Hagrid. Soon we arrive to Hagrid's hut and enter into the sweltering heat from his fireplace. We sit and talk with him as soon as the egg starts to hatch. Within a minute there is a newborn hatchling that is staring at me and tilting it's head before yawning a small flame and going to sleep. I chuckle a little bit at the baby dragon remembering that baby dragons don't give two shits about anything. Hagrid with a singed beard sighs before saying," what got into Norbert all of a sudden?"

" Norberta she's a female, you can tell by some markings and how hot the egg was. Plus she'll be a lot more aggressive in the future so please be careful Hagrid. She's also venomous as well kinda like the komodo dragons of muggle culture. Her saliva will stop blood from clotting and the bacteria she'll have from her meals will act as the venom. I suggest you take precautions for sending her away." I say before he can argue I continue," it's the law Hagrid plus I don't want you to wind up in Azkaban. My father's stories are that of horror."

He sombers up then says," I'm sorry for ever doubting him. He was one of the only kind ones to me when he went to school. Him and your mother. Oh how they would hang around the lake when they finally started dating in their fifth year. Your eyes are like your mother's and your attitude towards everything. Smart and cautious." He chuckles remembering some rather fond memories. Helena and I soon leave for the room and a meeting amongst our friends. Soon we get to the room and I hand Helena the sacred gear. She accepts it and soon a flash of shadow happens while a dark voice says

Balance breaker: shadow queens regalia

As the shadow melts away Helena stands there with a whole new outfit fitting for her. A beautiful black kimono with samurai style arm gaurds and a single right shoulder gaurd. Her legs are covered in a fishnet armor as well as a pair of tabi socks and sandals. Her facial features get more pronounced as thick markings appear framing her eyes and creating black tear markings running down to her cheeks. She also has a simple stone crown that is easily black obsidian by the looks. A odachi sword hangs across her back along her hips. She also grew a set of black wolf ears and a black bushy tail. Soon her shadow squirms and four canines appear. A huge wolf resembling finrir in classic Norse mythology, a grim, a jackal and a Inugami. The huge wolf is holding a large battle axe across its shoulder,the grim has a scythe, the jakal has two Egyptian kopesh as its weapons , and the Inugami has another odachi but also a Yumi with black feathered arrows along with black shafts.

" Beautiful" I say as she giggles. Soon a piece of paper falls down and she picks it up and reads.

I hope you like the changes my master. The cloak, the stone and the wand are all inside the various pieces of your balance breaker now.

The cloak is now the armor that you wear.

the stone is the crown which is made of stygian iron from the land of the dead.

Finally the wand has become the blade and weapons you'll be able to wield. They can harm God's and Buddha's as well as those that claim to be immortal. Nothing ever escapes death and everything must come to an end .

Love lady D.

I now find myself being used as a chair by Helena, which still is in her balance breaker, talking to our friends as I scratch her ear causing her tail to wag.

" So Helena has become a furry?" Asks Hermione.

" Better a furry than a pedophile" I snap," so What if people express themselves like this. I like it. "

We all talk late into the night before heading to bed with Helena canceling the balance breaker.

(A/N: I don't have anything against the furry community or the anthropomorphic community. I draw furry/ anthro art in my spare time which isn't a lot.)
