The Fox, The Crane, And Their Dragonek

Chapter Seven- The Dragonek

Harry walks down the halls smirking but also noticing that people were wondering why Winter Crane wasn't posting "Maybe I should post for him" he whispered to himself, walking back into his room. Draco soon enough gave up and decided he'd search tomorrow. The notebook, however, was full of different stories and genres. 

Some were funny, cute, some sad, and some clearly personal. Harry grabs Moo Draco's notebook and looks through it reading everything "Hmm" he posts the ones for Winter Crane's new book. It was something different and the community had a few mixed reactions to it. Some loving the style and some not so much. The main questions seemed to be the same. Why was it in first person and how does Winter Crane know all this information and detail. 

Harry looks at it and gasps "Oh shit wrong one" he says looking it over he sighs "Well that didn't go as planned" he says. The community, however, ran wild with it by morning making all sorts of fun little theories and such about why there was a shift in style. Harry walks down the hall watching the mess he made walking over to a group to see what some of the theories they were coming up with. "Well, whoever Winter Crane is, they must be close to Draco if they can go into that much detail, first-person mind you, about Draco's personality."

"No way I'm thinking it's someone closer to Harry. If they were close to Draco they'd write him in a much brighter light." Harry chuckles a bit and walks away listening to all of the theories, he walks outside and sits by the lake watching the water sway smiling pulling out his notebook, and starts writing not caring about who saw him doing so since he's secret was out. A small creature watched silently from the water. A strange, small creature. Watched curiously as the boy wrote. Soon two ears breached the surface, followed by a nose, then a muzzle, then it's entire cat-like head rose from the water. 

Staring curiously at the boy. "...Why another human in stream's home?" The creature spoke softly, clearly not trying to spook the male. "Dragoneks already sent first one back. Don't need more" Harry looks up at the creature "What do you mean?" He asks putting his notebook down on his lap placing his hands over it. "....Pond. pond is home to stream, leader of pond Dragoneks." The creature crawled out of the water shaking out its fur.

 "Stream ask that human leave, human scent attract danger" "Ah I see," Harry says "Should I leave?" He asks standing up putting his notebook behind his back. "...Well... Stream curious." She approached Harry and sniffed at his side. "What human doing here?" She noticed the scar and blinked. "Human name lightning? Must be, human have lightning scar", "I'm Harry Potter," he says "I'm here to simply watch the water" he looks at Stream tilting his head. 

Stream wrinkled her nose at the words. "...Strange naming traditions" she mumbled before sitting down. "What Lightning writing in book?", "Oh that is nothing," he says hiding his notebook "I'll be leaving now it was nice to meet you," he says walking away holding his notebook to his chest. 

Stream waited before following. "Friend snake was by earlier. Snake speaks a lot about you" she said, being stubborn and wanting to learn more about humans. Harry looks back at Stream "Oh really? What are some things he has said about me?" He asks slowing down walking next to Stream. Stream raised her tail showing her dominance.

 "Lightning want answers, lightning give answers" she replied. "Stream's final offer", "I'll comply with your offer," He says to Stream looking at her with a smile continuing to walk, She purred and walked beside him. "Stream doesn't care what hides in book Stream just curious what is in it. Information? Pictures? Stream want to know!", "There stories" he answers smiling at Stream, walking around the grounds. 

"...Stream likes stories. Snake mostly says harsh words but Stream smells snake likes Lightning" Harry chuckled "Ah, really?" he asks running his fingers through his hair opening his notebook. She nodded slowly. "Pond Dragoneks have strong smell, Stream the strongest" she chuckled. "Stream find snake funny when denial of feeling.", "Hmmmm" he looks at the ground as they continue to walk he sits down. 

Stream sits beside him sniffing the air. "Snake nearby. Snake looking for own book. Snake write stories?" Harry nods "From what I know he does," he says sitting criss-cross on the ground. "...Did snake lose book? Is that why snake angry?" She asked tipping her head. "Does lightning like snake?", "Yes he is mad because he lost his book," he says smiling "And maybe I do," he says to Stream. "Then why you two so mean to each other?" She asked twitching her nose. "Stream help! Stream help Lightning and Snake be mates!" Harry looks over at Stream and laughs a bit "How can you help us?" He asks looking at the sky.

 "Stream can help Lightning court desired mate. Dragoneks mate for life.... except leaders like Stream.", "Well if you think you can help please do so," he says laying down on the ground. She nodded and settled beside him. "First, Lightning show interest. Flowers, returning lost items, stuff like that. Make nice with snake", "Ok I shall Stream" he says sitting up and hugs Stream he stands up and walks away with his notebook. Stream followed before jumping on his shoulder changing into the form of a small mouse. "Stream be there every step to help", Harry smiles and walks to his room unlocking his drawer and pulling out Draco's notebook closing the drawer, and walks out of the room and down the halls.
