The bus came to a sudden jerk, awaking Scarlett from her shirt slumber as she stumbled forward and frantically tried to catch herself in hopes of stopping herself from falling.
"Ici nous sommes, la Roumanie (Here we are, Romania)" Erika announced.
"Merci (Thanks)" Scarlett mumbled, exiting the bus and watching it speed off.
She'd now realised that it was light once more, the sun high in the sky, signalling it was around nine or eight in the morning with the birds tweeting happily. She stood in the middle of a golden forest, much to her confusion since it was a bus that has brought her after all, but she knew not to question it that much, it was magic after all.
A grin made its way onto her face, pushing the hood of her jacket down, she ventured further into the forest and moved towards a cliff. Overlooking the sky, her green eyes twinkled as the sun rays hit them. It was truly beautiful.
She closed her eyes, a small smile upon her face as the natural sense of nature filled her.
Then...there was a rumble, or was it a growl? Either way, the red haired teen felt the ground shake beneath her and before she could even blink, the cliff below her crumbled and gave way. Her breathe was torn away from her, green eyes widening as she fell but soon noticed the fall wasn't that deep.
"I can land this" she nodded to herself, doing her usual tuck and roll before jumping to her feet and dusting any dirt of her. "Wooh! What a fall!" She grinned before she noticed huts and cabins not that far out and people walking around who all looked to be wizards and witches.
She then locked gazes with a red head who had brown eyes who wore a look of shock and fear upon his face, either way, he was stood on the outside of a barbed wire dome and she noticed that she was on the inside. She was just about to shout when suddenly...a fan of warm air was blew down her neck and over her back, sending shivers over her.
"AJ! Could do with some help!" The red head shouted, and instantly a black haired boy came running over.
"What's up Charlie?" He called but this 'Charlie' just pointed to Scarlett who was now stood froze and facing a mighty beast.
"Who the hell is she and what is she doing in the Hungarian Horntails enclosure?!" This AJ screeched.
"Like hell I'm gonna know?!" Charlie shouted.
Scarlett slowly began to pivot on her hell, green eyes meeting the amber orbed eyes of the Hungarian Horntail. A dragon. It puffed smoke out of its nose, billowing it into Scarlett's face who didn't dare move. Not yet anyway.
The outside of the enclosure was hectic, but Potter just focused on her breathing and maintaining eye contact.
"Are dragons like Hippogriffs? Oh Merlin, I hope they are because this is all I got" she freaked, before bending low and keeping her eyes locked with the dragons.
"She's treating it like a hippogriff! Is she daft?!" The AJ guy screeched but all chaos seemed to freeze the moment the dragon bowed her head as well.
A small, relieved smile filled her face as she stood up right once more, taking hesitant steps towards the dragon who kept her head low. Raising her hand, she could hear the amazed mumbles from outside of the enclosed as she pressed her small hand against the snout of the dragon who closed its eyes in contentment and almost seemed to purr in pleasure.
"You're not so bad are you?" Scarlett whispered, watching as the dragon rolled onto her back and whined for Scarlett to scratch her under neck and tummy.
"Oh my gosh, I'm dreaming" she squealed, a grin upon her face as she went about showering the grown dragon in kisses, pets and scratches.
Well, that was until the red head entered and slowly walked over to her.
"What's your name?"
"Scarlett"
"Scarlett what?"
"Just Scarlett"
"Well, just Scarlett, you have managed to single handedly tame our most defiant dragon yet" he informed.
"Really?!" She shrieked in amazement as the dragon nodded of into sleep.
"Yep, none of us know how you did it and from the looks of it...you don't either" he stated as she sheepishly nodded.
"Since you tamed her, you get to name her."
Her green eyes lit up like Christmas lights, a large Cheshire grin filling her face as she bounced on the balls of her feet.
"How about...Alas?"
