The Goblet of Fire//Draco X Reader

6 - Ruby!

You walk down the grounds of Hogwarts, a bit past Hagrids hut. Draco struts down the hill with you, his black and green cloak clashing with your own black and purple one. As you reach the edge of the Forbidden Forest, you look to the sky. Dark gray clouds roll over the horizon, and you can see rain barreling closer. You turn back to the dark woods, and bring your fingers to your lips.

You blow sharply, two short whistles escaping your mouth. As you take your hand down, you wait, staring into the magnificent darkness. You link your arm with Malfoys as the trees shift, the leaves slinking with specks of white light. As she grows closer, you see clearly the enormous serpentine head of Ruby.

She steps out of the treeline, standing tall as she spreads her wings wide for all people to see. From the castle, you know people are watching; as they always do when you visit your now twenty seven foot tall companion. Ruby's maroon eyes dazzle against her pearly scales as she leans down to you, her head as large as your body. You giggle, running a hand down her lengthy muzzle. She then turns to Draco, seeing him attempting to hide his grin. She sticks out her split tongue, licking his face.

"Agh!" He groans, wiping off his cheek. You giggle as you help him get some of the saliva off, and Ruby makes a content huffing sound. As you turn to her, she swoops her head down, nearly touching the ground. She manages to knock Draco off his feet by swinging her tail at his legs, then catching him with her muzzle. She tilts her head up to the nearly black sky, looking right at the storm clouds. As her head reaches a vertical position, Draco slides down her neck, slowing to a stop of her slippery back. You laugh as he holds tightly to one of her scales, which is about the size of his arm.

"(Y/N)! Tell your ludicrous creature to put me down!" Draco calls, holding tightly to your Emyrian dragon. You shake your head, then put a hand on your waist and look up at the playful dragon.

"Ruby...." You warn the dragon, who is at least a building taller than you. "Drop."

With a growl of defiance, she lowers her body. She rests on the bright grass, which grows darker as the clouds begin to rumble with thunder. Malfoy slides down her white leather wing, nearly tripping when his feet reach the ground. Suddenly, Ruby begins to shake her head.

You walk to Draco, helping him to stand as you look back to the creature. Her tent like wing is covering you and Draco, plus most of the surrounding ground. You look out to the earth that is not beneath Ruby, seeing tears from the heavens sprinkling the grounds of Hogwarts. You grab your boyfriends hand, dashing out from cover and back towards the castle; whose cobble walls are already dripping with rain. With a wave back to your red eyed pet, she retreats into her home of the Forbidden Forest.

*Time Skip*

"Yes!" You shout, clapping as the damp red head also known as Cedric places his name in the Goblet. "Go Ced!"

He turns his head your way, sending a glittering white smile. You have already become great friends with the Hufflepuff, who walks away from the brass tinted cup. As more students circle the blue flames eight feet above -which dance on the rim of the cup, on top of the dark stone podium - you are all careful to stand back from the age line.

The age line is a magical spell, a floating cyan circle that ensures no student under the age of seventeen submits themselves to the Goblet. As it sparkles, the light reflects off your eyes, which is rather ironic due to what you are stirring up with the twins.

"Eternal glory, be brilliant wouldn't it? In three years from now we'll be old enough to be choosen!" Ron says from your side, his gaze stuck on the flickering of light high over his ginger hair. You shake your head, looking over to the boy.

"Better you than me, mate. Luckily, I have some people to cause a bit of trouble with!" You say, rubbing your hands together. You reach into your cloak, your hand slinking its way to a lilac pocket on the inside. Your (s/c) fingers wrap around two glass tubes, each sealed with corks. You hold them up, and the green liquid inside of them bubbles.
