Alexandra Weasley: Book 4

25

"Ron, meet Saphira." Alex said.

"Wicked!" He said.

"Not really." Alex turned to the dragon. Scare him a little, but don't hurt him?

He smells like Charlie. Saphira replied.

He's one of my other brothers.

"Are the dragons part-" Saphira bared her teeth  and crouched low, her nostrils starting to glow. Ron yelped and jumped to his sister's side.

"Saphira is mine. Which means, it wouldn't be too hard to dispose of annoying little brothers." Alex stepped closer to the dragon, hand out as Saphira's glowing nostril doused.

"You wouldn't-"

"Are you sure? I mean, even mum and dad think I'm capable of poisoning muggles. Sacrificing little twats to keep my dragon well fed is really just child's play."

Your brother's coming. Sapphire warned.

"Hide!" Alex shoved Ron behind a hedge and ducked down.

"Hey, girl. How are you today?" Charlie said with a wheelbarrow of dragon feed.

"Charlie?" Ron asked, whispering loudly.

"Alex, I know you're there." Charlie called, having heard them.

Alex and Ron slowly rose. "Hi." She said sheepishly.

"How'd you get past the alarms?"

"I'd tell you but you'd take precautions and lock me out so..." she mimed zipping her mouth.

"Ron?" He shrugged

"I don't know. I just followed her."

"I just want to spend a little time with my dragon."

"Don't you have lunch right now? You know you can only come after the school day's over or on weekends." Alex shrugged. "Leave now or I'll write to the headmaster."

"Like I care. What is he going to do? Dock points for visiting a dragon camp that's supposed to be a secret?"

"How about docking points for being in the forbidden forest?"

"Dumbledore knows I go into the forest often."

"She knows unicorns." Ron added.

"You're kidding?" Charlie's eyes widened. "Where?"

"She won't tell anyone."

"I never said that. I just said I'd never tell you. Hermione and Ginny and Cedric and a few others know." Alex shrugged. "You, I'd rather offer up to Saphira than show you where."

"What about me?" Charlie asked. Alex narrowed her eyes.

"I guess you're kind of good with animals. We'll see." She said.

"Can we go back now? We're missing lunch!"

"Oh no, what will you do?" She said sarcastically. "Bye, Saph. I'll come by later."

Goodbye. She said, before taking a step towards Ron who jumped back. Alex grinned as he backed into the forest. Saphira winked at Alex, who laughed before leaving.

"Ron, wait! You'll get lost!" She called after him. Charlie watched his sister rush after their brother. "Do you want to end up facing the acromantulas again?!"

"She's special, ain't she?" He asked the dragon who somehow nodded. "And so are you. Come on. Time for your lunch."

Alex and Ron headed back to the Great Hall for lunch and were stopped by Snape in the entrance hall.
"Miss Weasley." He drawled behind her. She turned around instinctively before crossing her arms. "My office." He demanded.
