//------------------------------// // Chapter 06: French Veela & Talking Dragons // Story: Harry Potter: The Chaotic Wizard // by WhalenJP //------------------------------// Chapter 06: French Veela & Talking Dragons… Discord sat next to Fluttershy as she was sitting at the Gryffindor table talking with Hermione about the Triwizard Tournament and it’s gruesome history. They both arrived last night so that they could get a layout of the castle that seemed to be alive, what with the stairs moving at random moments and getting them to their destinations, suits of armor that lines the corridors at random giving them a nod of respect; one which Discord returns Whatever was controlling the suits and stairs must be extremely powerful. God Of Chaos Powerful... Discord was about to ask Hermione about the clue of The First Task, when a voice spoke from behind him, “ Excuse moi, are you finished with ze Bouillabaisse?” The God Of Chaos turned his head a little and eyed the French witch that was standing behind him, a shy smile on her lips. She was fidgeting under his gaze for a second, before Discord smiled, snapping his fingers and a bowl of the French delicacy appeared on his hand, steaming hot and fresh. He enjoyed the look of shock on the witch’s face, and spotted the amusement from Hermione and Fluttershy from the other side of him. “ Bonjour, Miss Delacour. One bowl of piping hot fresh Bouillabaisse!” The Veela, since Discord noticed absently that the males in this entire Great Hall were staring at her and some of the women as well, shook off her shock and grabbed the bowl with a conjured cloth. “Merci.” He watched in amusement as she headed back to the Ravenclaw table and turned back to Hermione and Fluttershy. He asked, “ Now with that small sidetrack in the story is over with, I wanted to ask something.” Hermione shook off her slight self conscious gaze from Fleur, and turned to him. “ How can I defeat a dragon without killing it or being fried to a crisp?” Apparently that was the wrong timing, cause Fluttershy took a drink of that delicious goblet of pumpkin juice at that exact moment. The spit take was legendary… Once Fluttershy got under control of her coughing, she glared at him, making him blink in confusion, “ What did I do?” The shy pegasus turned woman spoke, “ What do you mean, Dragons?” Discord froze for a second, knowing that tone. It was sweet, with an underlying threat hidden beneath it. He only heard stories about that tone, he didn’t think that FLUTTERSHY of all Ponies had it. “ My Dear Fluttershy, I know what the First Task is…” He paused dramatically, making Fluttershy roll her eyes at his theatrics, but had a small smile on her lips regardless, amused. “ Dragons, that’s the First Task the Champions have to get through.” Discord continued, knowing that he was in the clear. Fluttershy can be terrifying when she wants to be. The shed is proof, after all… “Well, since you know the Task, we can get to researching on how to find a dragon that can talk to us.” Fluttershy said. Discord had a lightbulb idea that lit up his head. Then outside until he grabbed it and took a bite out of it. “ I can bring Spike over, though it might take a bit to gather the energy necessary for a safe trip.” Fluttershy’s gaze became slightly stern as she scolded, “ I don’t want you to hurt yourself. Spirit Of Chaos or not.” Discord pouted and actually wilted a bit under the 20 year old’s gaze, making a couple of redheaded Gryffindors snicker, until he shot a glare and snapped his fingers. Their hair colors changed to silver, while their robes turned to Slytherin green, making them gasp in shock and shoot each other grins. Discord had a feeling he started a Prank War. And he was gonna get along with those two just fine… ----------------------------- After the school turned in for the night, Discord and Fluttershy flashed into a clearing inside the Forbidden Forest. It was safe, even though the creatures that roam in these woods become affectionate to Fluttershy whenever she was around. They didn’t like him though, which made him a bit grumpy about that particular subject. “ Ok, let’s get started.” Discord said, rubbing his hands together and cracking his neck in preparation of the task ahead. Get it? Task? HEHE. Anyways, Fluttershy was sitting on a large female Acromantula named Mosag. One night after a couple of days since arriving, Discord went into the forest, and spotted a large pile of rocks and pebbles set into a monument. He used his Chaos Magic to find out what was inside, but doing that made the corpse come to life. One thing led to another, and Mosag was reunited with Aragog, who was elated that his mate was back. Even though he has the respect of Aragog and his brethren, the Centaurs hate him, except for one named Firenze, who knew what and who he was. “ Are you ready Fluttershy?” The pink haired shy woman nodded, a small smile as she held out a thumbs up. Mosag just nodded her massive head, no words needed. Discord flexed his fingers and floated into the air above the clearing. He pressed his palms together and sickly yellow static electricity formed between the appendages. He pulled his hands apart slowly, gritting his teeth in exertion at the energy that was fighting against him. Then a small ball of the magic formed between his hands, and Discord waited… Before he threw the ball in the middle of the clearing, causing an explosion of high energy and a beam shot up into the stars, tearing through a crack in the universe and grabbing it’s target. After a few moments, someone was yelling as they fell. “WHAAAAA!” The beam of energy disappeared, it’s energy spent and dissipated into nothing, while Discord’s target fell to the ground the last few feet, making him ‘oomph!’. Discord flew down, slightly out of breath but proud that he got the right person he needed. Said person was a baby dragon of 15 years old, purple with a light underbelly and green fins and dorsal spines on his head and back respectively. “ Wha- Discord?! How did I get here?!” Spike looked around the dark forest and spotted Fluttershy, since the hair and butterscotch yellow dress was a dead giveaway, sitting on the largest spider he ever laid eyes on. Discord landed and spoke, “ Well, my compatriot little wizard, you are gonna help me get through this farce of a Tournament i’ve been forced into.” Spike stared at him, thinking he was insane… Discord grinned back, his eyes shining with a childish glee...
