Shelby's POV

"So, you want to see dragons?" Charlie asked me.

"Oh yes." I smiled.
"Follow me." He walked across a field and head towards a mountain. About half way there he stopped and pulled out his wand. With a few swishes of his hand a huge arena appeared.
"This place has to be hidden from muggles and wizards. Very top-secret." He explained. He opened a door and Fred and I followed him in. I walked to a rail and looked over the edge. My eyes widened and my mouth fell open in awe. There were about ten dragons in the arena. Some were sleeping while others seemed to be playing.

"This is so cool!" I exclaimed.
"Thought you'd like it." Fred stood by me and grinned. 

"Come on you two." Charlie called. I quickly followed Charlie.

"Now, be very careful. And yes Shelby you can hold one." Charlie said before he opened the door. Hold what? I can't hold a dragon. He opened the door and I was in shock again. We were at the nursery! 

"We have one that was  just born. Put those gloves on and you can hold him." He pointed to a rack of gloves. I found a pair that fit me and slipped them on. The gloves went all the way to my shoulder.  I went over to Charlie and he gently put a dragon in my arms.
"Isn't he beautiful?" His voice was full of emotion and I knew he deeply cared for these creatures. 

"Very." I agreed and cautiously held the dragon. 

Third-person's POV

"Dragons! Baby dragon! She held it!" Draco exclaimed as he read the letter he just received from her. 

"Give it a rest Malfoy." Goyle grumbled. Ever since Shelby left all they heard about was her.
"She could die! She could be ashes as we speak because of those stupid Weasley's!" 

"I thought you didn't care if she died or not?" Crabbe remarked.

"I don't!"
"Then shut up!" Crabbe and Goyle said in unison. They were tired of his bickering and whining. Draco got up and went to find the only person who seemed to share his interest with the girl. 

He banged on Professor Snape's door and barged in.
"Mr. Malfoy what do you want?"
"She held one! A dragon! They let her hold it!"
"I'm sure it's fine Mr. Malfoy."
"When will she be back?"
"Classes resume Monday. Today is Friday so probably this weekend."
"If she comes back. She's probably a pile of ash."
"When she comes back she'll be too busy for you."
"What do you mean?" Draco asked slightly offended.
"Ms. Granger is still in the hospital wing."
"What does that have to do with Shelby?"
"Don't you think she'll spend all her free time with her?"
"Ugh! Curse the Gryffindors." Draco dramatically plopped down in a seat.
"Mr. Malfoy is there anything else?"
"No."
"Then leave."
"My Father will hear about this. About Dumbledore letting her go with those people." Draco continued to rant. Snape rolled his eyes.

"Your Father already knows."
"What? He would never agree to it."
"Ms. Dumbledore will benefit from this. She needs to see the wizarding world." 

"We could've taken a safer approach don't you think? Instead of throwing her in a dragon pit?"

"She is perfectly safe Mr. Malfoy. Go back to your dorm. She'll most likely be here in the morning."
"Well why didn't you just say so?" Draco stood up and left.

"Stupid love-struck fool. He's going to get hisself killed over her." Severus mumbled to himself.

A/N Sorry I disappeared and this is a short chapter. I'm almost finished with the Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azakaban will be full of drama. Hope you all enjoyed!
