Second Person

Okay, there was a reasonable explanation as to why you were out in the Forbidden Forest.

It was your free double period (lucky you) and your friends were still in their classes. It's not like you didn't want to hangout with your new Ravenclaw friend Quest Ferlet, you just wanted a walk outside.


As you walked outside, you heard a roar in the distance and out of curiosity headed in its direction. It may have been your inner Newt Scamander but you were hoping it was a magical creature. Maybe it was just a hippogriff left behind from last year.

Walking deeper into the Forbidden Forest you froze as you came across a Hungarian Horntail dragon in front of you, chains around its neck but it seemed it had broken out of its chain leash that was once connected.


It let out a deep growl emitting from its throat but you didn't loose eye contact, you knew what to do.

You tilted your head to the side as you shook your bracelet with small bells on it, something you had made specifically for dragons. The dragon let out another growl. Anyone else would have thought that was a warning, but you knew it was out of curiosity.


Turning your head to the other side you took a step forward as you shook your wrist again, ringing the bells. This time it lowered it head to look at you from your height, giving you an invitation to approach, and so you did slowly.

Placing your hand out you waited for the dragon to move, showing it respect. It moved its head to your open palm and you slowly petted the large dragon.

It let out a happy dragon purr as you scratched a particular part near the bottom side of its neck, away from its spikes. You assessed is was a female dragon. A smile grew on your face as you watched the Horntail grow used with your presence.

"My name is Y/n, what's your name?" You asked the dragon, receiving a soft huff of warm air on your face. The Horntail was careful not to let any fire out lest she burnt you accidently. You understood the dragon perfectly fine.


"Láng? That's a nice name." (Used google translate. It is Hungarian, meaning flame in English.)

The dragon started walking and you watched it leave, but then it looked back at you, beckoning you to follow.


You followed the dragon to where you heard people shouting about. They seemed to be panicking. Something about missing a dragon? Perhaps it was Láng they were talking about. Looking at Láng, she looked at you then nudged her head in the direction of the shouts.
