Draco chuckled a little at his grin. “she'll grow big enough for you to ride.” Draco admitted looking amused as he watched his brother mother the baby dragon, Myst purring happily as she leaned into the touch, snorting in annoyance when he stopped paying attention to her Draco lifting an eyebrow as he took the book back and flipped to a new page. “Water Dragons, as a whole where intelligent and powerful, the only reason that the Wizards succeeded in hunting them down was that the Water Dragons did not take them as a serious threat, until every last nest was gone.” he read. “the Water Dragons went to war with the wizards, and while on a one on one battle, or even a one on five battle the Dragons would win, one on fifty caused the Dragons to fail.” he stated calmly. “they where slaughtered effortlessly when a Wizard by the name of Thomas Greenfind discovered that Dragon pox affected Dragons just as much as they did Wizards. He slipped a vial of Dragon pox essence into the waters, and all the dragons where weakened, making them easy to kill, any eggs laid in the tainted water, did not hatch.” he glanced at Alex, Tom listening with wide eyes. “by the time the Dragons and their eggs developed an immunity to the disease, they where too late to save themselves.”
he flipped to a new page, Myst listening to her peoples history. “Water Dragons, on average are a powerful species, the ones that bonded with humans where twice as strong as their brethren, feeding on a wizards magic they double the energy that they would normally have. The wizard has no ill effect from this process, and has even been known to aid in a wizards power. The few dragons that bonded with humans, where the only to survive the slaughter.” he smirked at Alex. “Myst, will be fine. She's already stronger than what Dumbledore could manage to take on.” he stated handing the book back, Tom looking amazed as he glanced at Myst, who hiccuped, bored, and nibbled on Alex's finger, showing her affection. “not only that, but you don't have to take Myst with you, as long as you explain why your leaving her here, and give her a good place to swim, she'll be perfectly fine staying here with the Lord and Lady.” Draco admitted. “well, if you can handle that.” Draco had his doubts. “Myst should be immune to Dragon Pox as well, so Dumbledore can't hurt her that way either.” “i think we should take her with, back to school.” Tom admitted. “she can protect you from the hoards of horny men wanting a piece of you.” he teased wrapping his arms tightly around his lover.
