Slytherins' missing girl (draco malfoy)

11.

I grew up with dragons.

I know how they behave. How they act and how to know what's wrong with them.

My dad always told me I had a 6th sense when it came to dragons. A connection he could never quite figure out.

But I was also good at tracking an angry dragon. I'd get a gut feeling and a place in my head.

So when I got that feeling and the Malfoy manor in my head I ran out to Flynn immediately.

He sensed my tension and immediately flew. I guided him through the clouds making sure to stay as hidden as we could. He landed at the side of the house with a thud and I jumped down and ran out to the back.

I couldn't believe it. It was him.

"Amethyst!" I called and he turned to look at me. Something was wrong. His beautiful purple eyes that would sparkle were bloodshot and he let out another large roar then came the glow. I had about 5 seconds to grab my wand and counteract his gush of hot ember.

His ember ran out and he let out another loud rumble of anger.

I ran to the far end of the garden in an attempt to lead him away from the manor. And it worked till I reached a dead end.

He was getting ready to fire again when suddenly he was hit by a burst of bright ember. I looked over and saw Flynn. He stood protectively in front of me and I got an idea.

I ran up Flynn by his tale and when I reached his head I jumped and landed on amethysts back. Now he was really angry.

He tried desperately to throw me off but Flynn kept a watch on him. Then I grabbed his horns and yanked them down and her instantly flew up. With Flynn following closely behind we shot off. He was still trying to throw me but I was too used to it by now. I wasn't going anywhere.

"Amethyst it's me. Viper! Don't you remember?" He did a barrel roll to try and throw me off but I just managed to stay on. I heard Flynn give a worried rumble.

"My father Steven. He was your rider. Together we sang a song remember." I yelled but he was still trying to throw me. He was much faster then I was used to.

I started to stroke him and whispered the song in his ear. I hadn't sung it in a while but I still knew every word.

Then suddenly I started to feel him ease. He was slowing down. Then by the time I'd finished he gave me the happy little chirp that he he only ever gave me.

"That's right amethyst. It's me." I said happily.

We flew for a little while before landing down by a small creek.

I took a cloth out of the bag I'd taken with me and dipped it into the crystal water.

"Come here amethyst." I said. He hesitated but Flynn encouraged him by moving his head towards me. He edged forward and I gently ran the cloth over the top of his closed eyelids. "That couldn't of been nice Amey. You must of been in so much pain with your eyes that irritated." I said as he let out a little sad huff.

I'd grown up watching my dad take care of Amethyst. He was prone to irritations in his eyes so we would wash his eyes weekly. But when my dad go injured I tried to look for Amethyst but he was gone. This whole time I thought they'd killed him.

But that's also means he's not had his eyes washed for 10 years so I know he must be in a lot of pain.

I look closer at him and see the scratches on his scales some are deeper then others. They'd chained him up. I can see the dents in his scales around his neck and ankles form trying to pull himself free. They'd they'd thrown rocks at him. I can see some trapped between his scales.

They'd cut the claws off on his feet and attempted to file down his teeth and spikes down his back. Thankfully they'd been unsuccessful but they'd caused horrible damage. His teeth were all scratched up and one was even chipped. That had to of hurt him badly. His spikes look sore and scratched.

My heart aches for him. He was the sweetest dragon even to strangers. He only attacked because he was almost blind. He couldn't trust people when they'd hurt him this badly.

"I know Amethyst, people really do suck." I say as he lowers his head so I can hug him.

I fly back on Flynn. I don't want to put any more pressure on Amethyst till I know more about his injuries.

It's late by the time I get back.

"Why is there another dragon on the lawn." Ron asks. I thinks he's slightly intimidated by the dragons.

"He's my dads. He attacked the Malfoy manor but he's badly injured. He's been locked up, had ricks thrown at him and all sorts of horrible things. So please can I just keep him here till I find a better place for both of them." I beg. They both look horrified when I say what's happened to Amethyst.

"Yes of course. Do you need any help with treating him." Hermione says and I smile.

"Yes please. Though we'll have to introduce you slowly to him. He's a little tense at the moment." I say and she nods.

We went into the kitchen and I started teaching Hermione the family recipes for dragon care.

We started with the most important one and that was a scale repair cream.

It took us 3 hours to make but we thankfully wouldn't have to do it again now for a few more weeks.

She helped me carry it outside and I gently put my hand on Amethysts nose so he'd wake up. He woke up a little startled with was normal for most rescued dragons but he instantly settled when he saw me.

"Me and Hermione have a lovely batch of scale repair cream for you. But you'll have to trust us."  I say. He takes a minute but then lets us.

There's something oddly therapeutic about applying the layers of the cream to his scales. But it's also time consuming and I notice it 3 am.

"Hermione if you want you can go in and get some sleep. I'll sort this out." Busy she refuses.

"No I'm having fun catching up with you. Besides I don't have anything planned for tomorrow anyway." She says and I smile. Hermione's always been a good friend to me.

It was about 6am by the time we'd actually finished and we were both exhausted. There was more damage then we'd thought and Amethyst had grown since I'd last seen him. But he looked much happier when we'd finished.

"Thank you." I said as I hugged Hermione.

"No problem. But how are you not looking as exhausted as me?" She asked.

Truth was when ur constantly looking over your shoulder you don't really sleep much. I've probably had 5 hours of sleep across the past 4 days.

"I guess I'm just used to pulling all nighters to help dragons." I Shrug.

"Well let's go get some sleep." She half laughed half sighed and I nodded and followed her inside.
