The Soul of a Dragon

Chapter 9

"You're Harry's sister!" Bill said and Fleur's face lit with surprise.

"Yes, I am. He doesn't know. Which is how I want to keep it for the time being. This is my-"

Bill interuppted her "Uncle Conner and Aunt Daisy. I know. I figured that out too. Where have you been the past 15 years!?"

"Romania. I've been there since I was 2. I was adopted by the Scamander family."

Bill ruffled his hair and Fleur began to speak. "Why do you ensist en not telling 'im?"

"Je ne veux pas qu'il s'inquiète de me garder." Genny said, unable to keep herself from talking French with someone who knew the language.

Fleur was taken aback. Bill touched her shoulder and gave her a quizzical look. Fleur translated, " s'e doesn't want 'arry to worry about 'er being safe." Fleur said and Genny smiled.

"Sorry. I couldn't control myself. I love speaking French." Genny said sheepishly. She ran her hand through her hair and felt a pair of hands on her shoulders.

"Daisy and I are not telling Harry for the same reason. We don't want him to feel responsible for us." Connor said. Genny felt his arms squeeze her shoulders and let go.

"As for where Daisy and I have been, we've been in the US this whole time, raising our two children, Rose and Jake, She's 14 and he's 12."

Genny squealed with delight. She had no clue she had cousins. We'll, other than that pigface Dudley. Daisy laughed at her niece, then thought of something.

"Hey Genny? Charlie? Would you two be up for babysitting tomorrow night? I think it's high time Connor and I had some time to ourselves."

Genny looked at Charlie who have her a smile and a slight nod and she nodded enthusiastically. Connor laughed, his eyes twinkling. Charlie finally realised where Genny got her twinkle.

"Well, I need to get this girl to bed, and by bed I mean to sleep, and by sleep I mean actually asleep." Charlie said earning a tongue getting stuck out at him by Genny. Daisy laughed and said goodbye. Connor patted the two on the backs and went to talk to Bill and Fleur about their wedding.

As they left Genny looked back. She tugged Charlie and whispered, " My family's growing  Charlie."

"Yes it is." Charlie said and they apparated home to Romania to find Flame and Norberta waiting patiently for them. The couple laughed as their dragon friends bounced around them, utterly excited that they were back. Norberta's tail flapped in Flame's face and he let a ball of fire at her, resulting in her wrestling him down and them beginning to act like baby dragons.

Genny got her mom face on and began scolding the dragons. Charlie watched in admiration as she calmed down the giant beasts as if they were human children. It was then when he realised how good of a mother she would be. Her dark reddish brown hair shone bright red next to the dark green of Norberta's scales. Charlie smiled and walked over to pet Flame's snout. 

"Hey boy. Calm down." He said and Flame rubbed his snout against Charlie's head. "There's my boy." He whispered. Genny watched Flame and Charlie interact. She smiled as she saw his bravery overcome him. She realised they made one puny fool-born apple-john of a couple. Especially with their dark green dragons that made their hair look bright red, his especially. She watched as Flame pinned Charlie to the ground licking him and giggled. Norberta seemed to want to copy her counterpart and started licking Genny. Soon enough the young adults were covered in dragon slobber. The dragons decided it was time for them to depart and flew away. 

"Blimey! I thought they'd never stop!" Charlie said with a laugh, "Is it weird that I find you attractive with dragon slobber all over you?" he said and pulled Genny into a hug.
