Don't own HP or anything associated with it. Wish I did, life would be easier.
Lets try this again, this time without the HTML Coding throughout the story.
Thanks to Zero Fullbuster for the constant follow ups for this story. Kept me going, even when frustration set in.
This has taken a while to get out due to RL Issues. Moved house, lost the power cord to the Laptop in the move and took a while to replace. Then discovered I had lost my book that I was writing the draft chapters in and all my story notes. Yes I still use pen and paper for my drafts before I start typing, I know it shows my age but it works for me. This resulted in a lot of lost time while I sorted out what I wanted to do with this chapter I have started another book with my beginnings of the next chapter, also it has taken me 5 days to be able to upload this. I think my laptop needs replacing. I know how I want it to play out, along with answering the Contract question I recently bought up.
Hope you enjoy. Positive reviews appreciated, negative reviews will be ignored.
I am also going to be going back over the entire story over the next day or so and editing so there is every chance I will be reposting previous chapters with corrections etc before I go back to work in a week. Gotta love working in Australia, 4weeks annual leave with guaranteed 2 weeks over Xmas/New Year 9 times out of 10 due to company Reduced Activity Periods.
Without further ado, enjoy.
Viewing Stand Arena for First Task
Harry's family and friends
Akane was sitting with her father in the viewing stands waiting to see what exactly was involved with the first task. They knew it involved Dragons, they were just not sure on what they would be required to do and what breeds would be involved. They had requested access to the Chinese Fireball reserve so that one of those could be used but had been firmly told to look elsewhere. There was no way that Magical Asia would allow any of their animals to be used in this travesty. There was a reason it had been discontinued after all.
While waiting to see how the task evolved, Akane was also bringing her father up to date on her recent change in relationship with Harry. Her father had been expecting this change but wanted to make sure that both Akane and Harry were remembering their obligations. One of those pertained to the fact that Akane would not bear any children carrying Harry's family names. As his only child she had to bear children that would carry on his name. This meant that Harry would need more than one wife/partner and he wanted to ensure that both his daughter and Harry were mindful of this fact. It was not what he wanted for his daughter, but he had resigned himself to this fact years ago while watching the two grow up. There had never been any doubt in his or Sanji's mind but that the two of them would get together. Thankfully multiple partnerships were far more common in Asia than in Europe. While the Europeans attached a stigma to the practise, Asians had long held the belief that provided all parties were aware and in agreement then there was no stigma attached. It was only when deceit was involved that understanding ceased. Openness was the key to those types of relationships.
Suddenly they felt Harry's magic permeating the air around the stadium.
"Oh, this is not good" Akane said. "They should be finding out what the task involves around now, and that is Harry's magic we are feeling. More to the point, that is Harry's angry magic we are feeling."
"Agreed" said Sanji "The only question is, what about the task has Harry so angry that he has lost focus like this." Turning to Akanes father "We are sure that they didn't manage to get their hands on a Fireball aren't we?"
"Scratching his chin in thought Akanes father nodded his head "Yes, we are certain. We even upgraded security around the dragon preserves as we didn't fully trust them to take no for an answer. I have not heard any reports of issues or missing Fireballs, or any dragon for that matter."
Turning to look around him at the other international delegates, Akanes father saw that while the European officials could feel the magic in the air, none of them seemed to be able to tell exactly what it meant. Yet another mark against their supposedly great schools of magic. Shaking his head he could not understand why they would hobble themselves to such an extent by banning their ceremonial and sacred rituals and claiming they were dark.
There was no one from the British Ministry anywhere near them for him to try and find out what was going on. It appeared that they were not interested in any of their visiting dignitaries after getting them to their seats. However the few that he could see in the stands were taking great pains to not look in their direction. This did not fill him with joy.
Turning back to Sanji and the other he said "Look at the British Ministry flunkies. They are all actively avoiding looking at us in any way that would mean we could get their attention. This means that they know something is about to happen that they want no part of. I want all of you to be on your guard and watchful. They still haven't properly explained how Harry's name came out of their goblet, and their current attitude does not fill me with confidence."
Turning to one of his senior staff he continued "Go and get word back home. Find out if anything has changed in the last two days that we have been gone. I don't like the way those Ministry officials are acting. Combine that with what we are feeling from Harry and it doesn't paint a very good picture for this task running smoothly."
The Aide stood, bowed and quickly left the stands to get out from under Hogwarts wards. While they had figured out how to have electronics work around magic, high saturation environments like Hogwarts still messed with them to a degree. In particular, signals used with Mobile phones. Once clear of the wards the Aide would be able to call back to Japan and follow up on the Shoguns concerns.
With Harry
The Imperial Japanese Water Dragon, long thought by No Mag Japanese to be a Water Deity. Their influence was abundant throughout the Mundane world in Japan and thought to be found in bodies of water and rain. Once of the Symbols of the both the Magical Government and the Mundane Imperial Family. And for some reason, the British Ministry thought it would be a good idea to involve one in this farce of a tournament.
Part of the Myth was correct, they were associated with bodies of water and could be found primarily in Lake Biwa, one of the largest lakes in Japan and just outside of Kyoto. Unfortunately like a lot of Magical Creatures, their homes were being impacted upon by the Mundane world. While Japanese Mundanes were much more in touch with their spiritual side than other parts of the world, they still needed space to live. Thankfully, there were parts of the lake hidden through magic which enable the dragons to maintain their nesting grounds. Lake Biwa held the largest concentration of the dragons in Japan, unfortunately that number was lower than most other breeds. Currently there were only fifty confirmed adult Water Dragons throughout Japan, with the bulk of them found in Lake Biwa. Ryu was very protective of this breed of dragon as they could trace their ancestry back to him. The first Imperial Japanese Water Dragon had been a result of Ryu mating with another celestial. While refusing to identify the other parent involved, the liaison resulted in the first clutch. He would not be happy to see one involved in this farce.
Looking at the Ministry officials Harry asked "And how exactly did you manage to obtain an Imperial Japanese Water Dragon for this shit show? One would think after being told in no uncertain terms that you could not obtain a Chinese Fireball you would not obtain an even rarer breed of Dragon"
Mopping his suddenly sweating brow Ludo Bagman looked at the upset young man in front of him "We contracted the work out to a third party when your name came out of the Goblet. All we told them was that we needed a 4th dragon, the more exotic the better. Our only stipulation was that they could not obtain a Chinese Fireball."
Albus could not believe what he was hearing. For something so important, the ministry had contracted the work out and not given them any defined marching orders. The British Ministry had direct access to three dragon reserves that they could have called upon to provide the 4th dragon.
"Ludo, we have access to 3 dragon reserves within the United Kingdom alone, not counting what we could get from the continent. Why would you feel the need to contract the work out?" Demanded Dumbledore. "It would have been easier and cheaper to for the Ministry."
Ludo looked even more uncomfortable. "It was a suggestion from Minister Fudge. He thought we could use Lord Malfoys company to find the 4th dragon and it would be a sure thing to be an uncommon breed. You know, keep things exciting?"
"You're telling me that the British Ministry for Magic contracted the sourcing of the 4th Dragon for the first task of the Tri-Wizard tournament, where I had been entered against my wishes and without my knowledge, to a known Death Eater?" demanded Harry incredulously. "That man is known to hate my family and all it stands for. Never mind that I hadn't spoken to my family for over 10 years, he was still finding a 4th dragon for a competition where someone with the name of Potter had been entered against their will. Is the British Ministry full of Morons?"
"Lord Malfoy was found innocent due to being under the Imperius curse." Ludo started to spout before Harry interrupted him.
"Your precious Lord Malfoy never stood trial you idiot. After spending less than 24hrs in a holding cell he was released and all charges against him dropped. There is no record of him ever fronting the Wizengamot for his actions during the Blood War. He has never had a trial to be found innocent. There isn't even a record of interrogation on file with the Ministry. All you will find if you look is a record of his arrest and then his pardon signed by then Minister Bagnold. It is the same for all the Imperiused Death Eaters."
Everyone in the room was looking at Harry with stunned expressions. No one had ever dragged the British Ministries dirty laundry out in public like this. It just wasn't done.
"Harry, I don't know where you get your information from, but I can assure you that Lord Malfoy had his day in court" Dumbledore started to respond.
"Sorry Headmaster, but according to your own Wizengamot minutes, which are openly available to any sitting member or their Heir, there has never been a trial for Lord Malfoy or any of the other Death Eaters. Sure Lestrange and her crew got their trial, but all the Imperiused Death Eaters seem to be missing from the court documents." Interjected Harry.
"But Harry, you are not the named Heir for House Potter? Your Brother has been the named Heir for the house for quite some time." Stated Dumbledore. "You do not have access to those files legally, I must ask you how you got a copy and where you got them from. If you are lucky I will be able to ensure that you don't spend any time in Azkabahn for illegally obtaining those documents."
"Surely Headmaster you don't think that Potter is the only house I was the Heir to?" responded Harry.
You could see the shock make its way around the room at Harry's last statement. If Harry was to be believed then he was the Heir of more than one house, even if he was no longer the Potter Heir, which judging by the shocked looks on some faces was also not common knowledge. He had a feeling the Potters were not going to be happy with Dumbledore for letting that cat out of the bag.
"Harry, what other houses are you the Heir of?" demanded Dumbledore.
"Sorry Headmaster, but that information is not something that you need to be made aware of."
"Harry, I am only looking out for you. For the Greater Good you need to tell me which houses you are Heir of. Once we know we can help and guide you in how best to represent your houses." Dumbledore was obviously trying to pressure Harry into revealing his houses.
"Professor, there is no need for you to know the information as it is House Business. Unless the House of Dumbledore wishes to stick their nose into other houses business then I suggest you drop this line of questioning and return to the issue of the fourth dragon in this tournament."
Turning back to Bagman Harry said "I want the names of those involved in this shit fight. You can guarantee that there will be International Legal Action coming from this. I shudder to think how Akanes father (who is sitting out in the stands by the way) will react to this. I can almost guarantee that this will end up in front of the ICW at a minimum."
"What do you mean by at a Minimum?" Questioned Dumbledore while the other Ministry representatives appeared to agree with his sentiment that the ICW would be the highest they could take this matter.
"Surely Headmaster, you are aware of the history of this breed of Dragon? Surely you know their origins. Even if you don't I can guarantee you that Akanes father is just as aware of that information as I am."
Dumbledore seemed to pale as he considered the Myths around the origins of this particular breed of dragon. Based on the visit in his office the night Harry's name came out of the Goblet and Harry's recent comments, there was every chance that the Myth was less Myth and more Fact.
"We can discuss this further after the event, we have delayed for long enough with this matter." Blustered Bagman. Bartemus Crouch was nodding his head beside him, eager to get out of the tent and try and start damage control at the Ministry.
"Very Well, but we will be visiting this again after the task. I would expect to be seeing Akanes father as soon as we are finished, and he will not be looking Happy when you see him."
With that, Harry turned his back on everyone in the tent and went to sit on the bench in his area of the tent. Everyone else looked at the obviously angry teen and decided that they did not wish to risk his ire any further than they already had so far that morning.
In the Stands
Akane sat with her father and their friends and family waiting to see exactly what the task would entail. While they knew what creatures were going to be involved in the task, they had not looked to find out exactly what was required. They were confident based on historical events that all that would be required was getting past the dragon, even Britain were not crazy enough to consider any of the other options they could come up with.
While thinking of the task Akane was also thinking of her evolving relationship with Harry. While many would think that Harry would be monogamous, unfortunately they were aware this was not an option with him. He was to be the Lord of more than one house which would require a wife for each, also they were heavily associated with the Yokai Association and were well aware that some of their member creatures had no control over who their magic chose as their mate. Japan had long had a tradition of multiple marriages for both genders and while not the norm, there were enough multiple marriages that it was still accepted. When you took into account the longer lifespan for magicals it was no surprise that some of the traditions were still in effect. Some of the older generation could still remember when the Mundane Emperor had a Harem. While her father had not had multiple partners while her mother was alive, her Grandfather had two wives.
Looking around the stadium she could see each of the school separated in their own stands with Officials and VIP's in another section with general public filling the remaining seats. She was not surprised to see the Potters sitting in the VIP Section, however having both their children with them was surprising. She thought they would have been sitting with the other students.
Looking around she felt a shift in the crowd around them. She could not place what it was but there was a slight increase in the tension around them. Looking at her father she raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
"I do not know daughter" her father replied to her implied question. "Whatever it is though it is a recent development."
Looking at the other members of their party they could tell that they felt it too. All were a little more alert and less relaxed than they were ten minutes ago. It was also obvious that they were not the only ones to feel the increase. Looking around the VIP and Ministry section you could see some who were no longer lounging around and laughing with their neighbours. They were all sitting a little straighter in their chairs and looking around warily. Every now and then you could see some checking their wand location to ensure it was ready to hand if needed. None knew what had changed, but all could tell that there was something.
Looking back to her father Akane stated "I don't know how, but I have this feeling that we will know what the issue is by the end of the task, and I based on what we felt earlier, I am certain that Harry will be involved."
Nodding his head slowly Sanji agreed with the Princess. "Much as I hate to say it, Harry is a bit of a trouble magnet. Admittedly he doesn't go looking for it, but it regularly finds him anyway."
"We will just have to wait and see I suppose. At least we know he is more than capable of looking after himself." Her father stated.
Sanji nodded at this as he had been instrumental in training his son in his abilities as a warrior. Saji was confident that he would pass on his family sword, first gifted to his ancestor by Katsumoto before his final battle, and that Harry would honor both the blade and his memory.
They settled down to watch as the first dragon was bought out.
(Everyone knows how they got past their dragons, even if they have tackled different breeds this time their methods are essentially the same. Not going to go into great detail for them.)
The Japanese contingent could not believe what they had viewed so far in the first task. The French Champion, Delacour, had done an admirable job with putting her dragon to sleep utilizing charms and her allure, only getting singed on the way out when the dragon exhaled flame while snoring. It was slightly funny watching her trying to continue her charm while also putting out the flames on her skirt. Thankfully, she managed to reach the exit with her modesty still intact.
Victor Krum was a disappointment. His method resulted in no injuries to himself, the dragon however was another matter. From what they could tell from their seats in the stands there was a risk that the dragon would not regain full sight in her eyes due to the curses he used to distract her. On top of that they imbecilic organisers had left real eggs in the nest and the dragon had ended up crushing half her nest in her agony. Now they could all hear her keening over her lost young.
The Hogwarts Champion, Diggory, had been the biggest disappointment of the tournament so far. Thinking that transfiguring dogs would work to distract the dragon. Not only did the dragon make short work of the dogs, but it still had time to serve up some damage before he got to the exit. They were unsure if he would retain the use of his left arm as it appeared to get a pretty good dose of dragon fire as he was trying to get out of the arena.
The damage to the Hogwarts Champion just highlighted why the tournament had been discontinued. The last tournament had resulted in all champions dieing as well as the headmasters of the attending schools and other officials when the final task got out of hand and XXXXX class creatures ran riot through the stadium.
They were currently waiting to see Harry compete. They still had no idea what type of dragon he would be facing as the announcer was doing everything he could to keep the tension high before each competitor. It looked like it would take longer for Harry to come out as it looked like they were making significant changes to the arena for his dragon.
Suddenly Akanes father stiffened in his chair and started to look extremely upset. Looking at him the others could not understand his sudden attitude until he spoke.
"They have just set the arena up and cast wards to enable water to be used. They have not needed to do that for any of the other dragons they have bought in. I can only think of one breed of dragon that would require them to set up a water-based arena."
Everyone else looked closer at the arena and the wards being put in place. Now that they had been alerted to it, they could see what he had been alluding to.
"Surely not." Exclaimed Saji. "After the reaction they got asking about the Chinese Fireball surely they would not have gone down this path."
"I think you are attributing to much in the way of logic and common sense to British Magicals." He replied. "This is exactly the sort of thing they would do. What I really would like to know is how they managed to get a nesting mother."
Looking at the party gathered around them he continued "Someone somewhere had to enable them to locate the breeding/nesting grounds. I want to know who and why as soon as possible. There has been a breach in our security if they have managed this. And knowing Harry, he will be on the warpath over this, never mind what Ryu will do when he gets wind of this."
The others around him paled when they thought of how the Dragon God would react to this. He considered all Imperial Water Dragons to be kin no matter how far removed they were from their conception. He was extremely protective of them, after all, he was the father of their breed of dragon.
The Arena
The arena had been heavily modified from what was needed for the other dragons. Where before there had only been dirt and rocks there was now a lake with an island in the middle. Harry was standing on one shore of the lake with the exit either back the way he had come or on another shore on the other side of the lake. There were small mounds of dirt throughout the lake acting as steppingstones for reaching the island. There was however an extreme lack of cover for anyone trying to get to the island and the dragons nest that Harry could see from where he was standing. So much for making the event safer than previous years. This whole set up reeked of incompetence.
Looking around Harry could not see the mother dragon yet. If it was staying true to breed it was probably hiding in the waters around the island. While it laid its eggs on land, as its name suggested the Imperial Water Dragon spent most of its time in the water. Unlike other breeds that needed to maintain hot ground around their nests, the Imperial Water Dragon laid their nest in a grotto with water that they kept heated. They protected their nest by staying in the water nearby rather than staying on the nest.
Deciding to get it over with Harry leapt to the first islet heading for the nest. When nothing happened, he continued, keeping an eye out for the mother dragon. When Harry was halfway across the lake and about to jump to the next island the water in front of him exploded as the Mother Dragon finally made herself known. Unlike the western dragons, the Imperial Water Dragon was the breed that all the images for Asian dragons were taken from. Towering above him the dragon looked down upon him with anger, although that expression quickly changed.
"Harry, what is going on? I was relaxing in the nesting grounds looking forward to my hatching, the next thing I know I am here with my eggs on hard ground with not enough water to maintain my nest." Asked the dragon once it recognized who was in front of it.
"Sorry Mother, unfortunately exactly how you got here is not known to me at this time. However we will be investigating this as soon as we can, if the investigation has not already started." Harry replied. "You say you were at the nesting grounds when you were taken?"
The crowd was stunned. It appeared as if Harry was talking to the beast. But that was not possible, everyone knew Dragons were mindless beasts. Some were muttering darkly watching Harry hiss and growl at the dragon. To their way of thinking Harry was showing a Dark trait, being able to talk to snakes was known to be a trait of Dark Wizards. The elder Potter must be dark. However, others could identify the truth, it appeared the eldest Potter child was a Beast Speaker.
The Potters were shocked. There had not been a recognized Beast Speaker in over 500 years. While Parseltongue was a watered down version of the Beast Speaker ability, as well as those who could talk to other creatures, like those involved in the Toad Choir. True Beastspeakers were highly sought after for their skills and abilities in dealing with Magical Creatures.
"Yes Harry, I was relaxing watching over my nest, the next thing I knew I was waking up here with my eggs in danger from how they were being handled. "
"Ï am sorry Mother, as soon as this farce is over we will get you home to the nesting grounds as quickly as possible. Could you please pass me the false egg from your nest and we will get you out of here and home."
The dragon looked into her nest and saw the fake golden egg sitting on top. Reaching down she picked it up in her mouth and passed it across to Harry.
Once he had the fake egg in hand Harry cast a diagnostic charm to check the condition of the real eggs in the dragons nest. Having worked closely with Ryu and visiting the nesting grounds over the last couple of years, he had become familiar with the spells used to check on both the eggs and their mothers.
Looking at the results he waved his staff, building up the area around the nest and increasing the amount and warmth of the water around the nest to ensure the safety of the precious eggs within.
The dragon watched closely as Harry worked around her nest. Happy with the results she once again lay within the water around her nest, watching everything around her while trying to protect her nest.
Turning to the approaching Dragon Handlers, Harry said "Don't touch a thing. I have fixed your fuck up and ensured that the eggs will survive until we can organize for them to be returned to the nesting grounds in Japan."
"You can't do that" yelled one of the handlers "We paid good money for that dragon and its eggs. We've never been able to get any for the reserve and we are not going to give this one up just because you want it!"
Harry stilled when he heard the handlers words. "What do you mean you PAID For it?" he asked.
"When we saw that they had actually managed to get an Imperial Water Dragon we made the British Ministry an offer to acquire it and return it to our reserve. They were more than happy to sign the agreement in exchange for access to the processed parts and a tidy sum of gold" replied the handler.
"Parts….. Gold?" While the words were asked quietly, everyone could here them due to the enchantments on the arena. In the Judges box Dumbledore was looking at Ludo Bagman with horror, while in the VIP section, Akane and her father were livid as were the others in their party. To think that the British thought they could get away with SELLING and Imperial Water Dragon, and to so casually discuss harvesting one was anthema to them. One look from Akanes father had one of the guards heading for the Ward Line. He would be back in Japan within 2 hours and would immediately start investigating how this had happened. The rest of the party started making their way down to the arena. They would not allow Harry to face this alone, nor would they allow this travesty to stand. Meanwhile down in the Arena.
"What makes you think that Japan will stand for this? You are talking about one of the most protected species of magical creature on the planet. I know this dragon, she is fairly young as far as her breed goes so there is still a good couple of hundred years before you would see any form of return on part of you agreement."
"Not really" remarked the dragon handler, not seeming to notice or care what was going on around him as the other handlers started backing away, knowing what was coming and guessing the reaction.
"Once the eggs have hatched we can kill the mother and harvest the rare ingredients and make back our investment and then some while waiting for the eggs to mature. Then we breed any females and continue the process. Its how things have been done for years."
The Dragon Handler trailed off as he realized he was the only person still in the arena with Harry and the Dragon. His comrades had beat a hasty retreat as he explained how things were working at the Dragon Reserve.
"I'm sorry, did you say that you planned to kill this dragon once it's eggs had hatched?" asked Harry in a deadly quiet tone of voice.
"Sure" Replied the dragon handler. "With how rare her parts are we can't wait for her to age and die of natural causes. We already have a couple of Potions Masters asking when ingredients will be available. The last time ingredients from this breed of dragon hit the market was over 200 years ago."
That was as far as the dragon handler got in his explanation before he was blasted across the arean by a wave of magic from Harry
Furious Harry turned to the Judges Podium. "Mr Bagman, as one of the Senior Ministry Members associated with this tournament, can you please tell me who authorized the sale of this creature? Just asking so that I know who to challenge to an honor duel, not that I think anyone involved in this has any honor based on what has happened today."
Albus Dumbledore sat on the Judges podium unable to believe what he was hearing and seeing. First Harry Potter was a Beast Speaker, then the Dragon Handlers had discussed what they had arranged with the Ministry and Finally Harry Potter had just threatened an Honor Duel against whoever in the Ministry had orchestrated this mess. For once he was thankful for having his post besides Headmaster stripped from him. If not then he would probably have been involved in all the background discussions and negotiations to make the tasks happen. As it was he was only involved on the periphery as the Headmaster of the Host School. It would not do his plans any good if he was involved more deeply in this mess.
Ludo looked at the obviously angry young mage down on the arena floor. There was nothing he could do about the current situation. All he could do was answer the question. If Barty were here it would be so much better. He was the actual Senior Ministry person involved with the Tournament.
"I believe it was the Minister office that had the final sign off on the matter Mr Potter. It was deemed a viable option to recoup some of the costs associated with hosting the tournament at Hogwarts." He tried to explain.
From behing Harry a voice stated "So, not only are they incompetent in allowing a fourth person not even in the country be entered into this debacle, they have also broken International Law?" Akane Father had made it to the Arena from his place in the stands. Walking up behind Harry he placed his hand on his shoulder, while the rest of their party spread out as if to provide cover for the two addressing the podium.
"International Law?" queried Bagman.
"Yes, International Law. The Imperial Japanese Water Dragon is an Endangered Species and protected by the ICW under those laws. I would have thought when we told you what we thought of your attempts to get a Chinese Fireball that you would have realized that we take our obligations to our national symbols very seriously. There will be no more talk to this noble dragon or her eggs going anywhere but back to Japan where she belongs. Unless of course you wish to declare war on Japan?"
"War!" exclaimed Dumbledore, "Surely it would not come to that. I am sure that things are not as serious as you make them appear"
The last time there was war between two magical nations, it had almost caused a world war. Grindelwald had merely been a Dark Lord backing Hitler in the Muggle War and bringing other magicals into it. It was not a proper ware between magical nations. If Japan went to war with Britain over this, it would decimate both nations with a good chance of spilling over. Japan was far more open with their Muggle government than Britain was. If Japan went to war, then their Muggle Government would be involved at some level and it would almost certainly bring the British Muggles into it, let alone if they bought the Queen into it. While very few Magicals accepted it, the Queen was still their monarch, and if she invoked the oaths, then she could bring the Ministry to heel, a fact generations of Ministers has tried to ensure that she was not fully aware of.
"Albus, surely as a previous Supreme Mugwump you know how this needs to paly out. If we don't get satisfaction here, then we will be left with very little in the way of options. We will already be bringing charges in the ICW regarding how this noble creature is here in the first place"
Suddenly there was a ripping sound in air around them and everyone felt a great magical pressure build around them.
"Oh Shit" muttered Harry looking up, "Too Late, he found out"
A rippling portal appeared in the air above the arena. Out of the portal came a Huge Asian dragon.
"What the Heavans is going on here" bellowed the dragon angrily. Ryu had found out, and he was not happy.
