Beast Within - Chapter 12

§Who are you?§ The Red Dragon hissed.

He could smell the pheromones permeating the air. His instincts were screaming for him to take them, to make them his. The dragon part of him knew that this was part of the dance. Draconic females did not want weak mates.

§This my forest.§ Harry waved a hand to the trees behind him. §These are my lands.§

§Lies!§ The Frost Dragon growled.

§I call this place my home. I stand here unchallenged.§ Harry met her gaze. §It. Is. Mine. What are you three doing here?§

§These stick-wielders have taken our eggs and dragged us here.§ The Green Dragon sounded the most distressed of the trio. §If this is your forest, then show us.§

Harry turned to face the gathered witches and wizards. He could feel Nym and Hestia getting closer, as well as the other Aurors. Their progress would be slow considering they wouldn't travel through the Forbidden Forest like he did. The fastest route would be to take the trail up towards Hogwarts, then cut over along the edge of the trees. Even then, it would take a while.

He focused for a moment to make sure he was speaking English.

"Charlie." Harry stared through the ginger wizard. "Why did you move their nests?"

"The Ministry ordered us to." Charlie shifted under his gaze. "There's an… event this year that and they wanted to use the dragons. What did you do to them? Transformations like this aren't supposed to be possible. The stories were written off as myth."

"They are under my protection." Harry growled.

The gathered Dragon Handlers flinched.

"Arrange their nests in a secure enclosure. Treat them with care, they are more valuable than your lives." His voice rumbled through the clearing. "At least three of you on guard per nest. Do you understand?"

Charlie nodded.

"Weasley… what is going on?" An older witch scooted closer to the ginger.

"This is… Harry Potter." Charlie replied. "Harry, this is Jennifer Strange. Jennifer, meet Harry Potter."

"I'm pretty sure Harry Potter is The BOY Who Lived, not a dragonkin." The witch replied.

A low, thunderous growl made her freeze. Harry cleared his throat. He closed his eyes and took a calming breath.

"I don't like that title." Harry replied evenly. "As you can see. Things have changed."

They dragon handlers shared confused looks but didn't say anything more. Harry stared at the assembled group.

"Now." Harry's voice echoed around the clearing. "Do I need to repeat myself? Arrange their nests in a secure enclosure. Three of you on guard per nest. Outside of the enclosure."

"We're trying, but they won't stop fighting us." Charlie shrugged. "We have a safe area set for each of their nests, but they won't let us get them in there."

"And the guards?" Harry asked.

"We're camper beside them in case they need anything." Jennifer replied. "These dragons are our lives. We wouldn't hurt them or let anything hurt them." She paused. "Can you tell them that. Please?"

"Yes." Harry nodded. "Who goes where?"

"Xia is the first, Sian in the second, and Agda is in the last one." Charlie replied.

Harry raised a phoenix-feather eyebrow.

"Xia is the Chinese Fireball, Sian in the Welsh Green, and Agda is the Swedish Short-Snout." He clarified.

Harry turned his attention back to the trio of dragon-ladies.

§I have spoken with them.§ Harry inclined his head to the dragons. §They have moved your nests to a protected area and will be nearby for your convenience. They wish for me to tell you that they would protect you and your babies with their lives.§

The trio studied him before they looked at each other for some signal.

§Follow me.§ He held out his hand to Xia, the red dragon-woman.

She stepped closer to him but did not take his hand. Harry chuckled as he led her to the first enclosure. He studied the area as she rushed toward her nest. The enclosure was a transparent dome that allowed natural light and airflow while keeping out irritants. Harry watched as a swirl of grit hit the invisible barrier. There was a small, growing pile of dirt at the edge of the dome.

A flash of red stole his attention from the inspection. Xia sprang at him with claws first. Her wings were flared, and her tail was stiff. Harry had just enough time to notice that all of her teeth looked wickedly sharp before he dodged out of the way.

§This is your land!§ Xia roared. §Did you tell them to do this? Who are you to endanger my clutch?§

She attacked ferocity. He dodged out of the way of a clawed assault. Her tail was just as dangerous. It seemed that her wings were used as a form of intimidation. Harry had no doubt he would have been dead a couple of times over if she had been familiar with her current hybrid form.

§No.§ Harry simply replied.

§Do you think speaking with the soft-meat and showing my next proves you to be a worthy mate?§ Xia growled.

Harry silenced the raging dragon up by sharply grabbing one of her horns and pulling her in for a rough kiss. He half expected her to bite his tongue. Instead, she kissed him back just as rough. He battled with her tongue as Xia tried to wrestle him to the ground.

He explored the inside of her mouth before pulling her away with the hand still gripping her horn. Harry couldn’t help but claim her lips back once more when he saw how swollen they were. After a few more minutes of rough tongue wrestling, he held her back at an arm’s length to see Xia’s face was flushed to the point the skin blended with her red scales.

All other thoughts left his mind. Everything disappeared except for Xia. She stood before him, giving him an unobstructed view of her body. Now he was able to appreciate it without the group of dragon handlers around. Harry practically drooled as he stared at her perky breasts that sat high on her chest, the scales along the sides of her toned stomach didn't detract from her sexiness. His gaze dropped lower. Her crotch had previously been obscured by red scale was now an exposed slit.

He didn't notice that his cock had emerged from a protective pouch. This was a new form to him, even if it was closer to his previous were-dragon shape. In that shape his dick hung free just like it did when he was naked in human form.

A bit of pride sparked in his chest when he saw that she was staring at him as well. There was a blatant hunger in her eyes. She devoured every inch of his body. The peek at her hidden desire sparked a fire in his chest.

He pulled her close and acted before she could try to take control. She could feel Harry’s fingers gliding over the slick skin of her outer lips, drawing moans and gasps from the horny dragon. He pushed two fingers into Xia's pussy and felt that she was already dripping wet. She could feel something approaching. Her body alternated between tensing in anticipation and shuddering as spikes of pleasure raced along her nerves. The sweet torture ended abruptly as his wonderful fingers pulled away from her. Suddenly, his head was between her legs.

§What are you doing?§ Xia yelled.

Harry replied with a roguish smile. His lips found her covered clit at the very edge where her scales had retracted. Her legs shook as her body started bucking wildly. She was grateful that she hadn't fallen. Her pride could not take that kind of embarrassment. What he was doing was magic, pure and simple.

He lowered her to the ground as he continued the tongue-lashing. She was distracted by the change in position as his tongue deftly massaged her clit. Xia chittered as lights flashed behind her eyes. She spread her legs wider and was ecstatic when he shifted his attention lower to her slick lips. His talented tongue sent her over the edge of her first true orgasm. Before, mating had been for the sole purpose of mating. Pleasure was something that happened on occasion. Her legs wrapped around his head as her orgasm rocked her body once more. She arched her back. The extra room making her wings shiver underneath her.

Harry noticed the odd position her wings and tail were in with her on her back. He flipped her over, so she was face-down on the ground. Her wings instantly shot out to their full spread. He pressed a gentle but firm hand at the base of her neck, positioning her with her head against the ground with her ass raised in the air. That hand stayed in place as the other gripped her tail. The touch made her buck. He began to stroke it as he held the appendage out of the way. Once he was sure she got the message to stay in position, he shifted his hand from her neck to her hip.

A rumbling growl shook her as he lined his cock up with her slit. Without further teasing, he started to pound into her. Her heat and tightness were unlike any other he had experienced. The sound of their bodies clapping together echoed around the enclosure.

Xia let out a hungry moan. Her voice quickly pitched to a scream as her orgasm rocked through her body. Harry bent forwards to pepper some kisses along her spine and up to the base of her neck. On instinct, he sunk his teeth into her shoulder. A shock of energy enraged the fire in his chest the moment her blood touched his tongue. Xia let out a mewl of satisfaction at the bite.

Harry roared as he lunged forward, slamming into her hard. His entire body pressed itself tightly against her as his cock rammed as deep inside of her as it could go. He exploded inside of her, unleashing the torrent of cum that had been building up inside of him ever since he’d caught her scent earlier.

§It will be a strong clutch.§ Xia cooed as she rubbed her stomach.

He liked the sound of that. A sound at the edge of the enclosure ended the afterglow. He turned to face the noise only to relax. Standing in the entry to the enclosure were the two other dragons. They both stared at him hungrily.

Harry slowly pulled out of Xia. He made sure the other two got a good look at her filled quim. Xia collapsed into a heap as he stood. She made happy purring sounds as she basked in the afterglow. The sudden spike of pheromones told him they were interested. It looked like there were two more dragons he needed to slay.

§Would you like me to show you to your enclosures as well?§ He asked with a slight growl in his voice.

Sian, the Welsh Green, nodded enthusiastically. Agda, the Swedish Short-Snout, gave a single nod in affirmative. Harry strode over to the two dragons. He held out a hand, letting them decide who would be the first. Sian took his outstretched hand once it was within her reach.

A wave of protective magic slid into place as he stepped out of the enclosure. He made a mental note to ask Charlie how it functioned. Harry knew the trio of dragons would not appreciate being locked in, even if it was for their protection.

§What is your name? Do you have a name?§ Sian asked.

§Harry Potter.§ He replied. §What about you? The witches and wizards call you Sian.§

§Sian.§ The Green Dragon spoke the name slowly, as to taste it. §It is acceptable.§

Harry led her over to the enclosure with her nest. She quickly hurried over to her clutch. The dragon didn't relax until after a thorough inspection of her eggs. She adjusted her nest a little to make sure they were supported to her specifications before she turned back to face Harry.

§My kind are not like the Red.§ A playful spark flashed in her eyes. §We do not look to mate with mindless brutes.§

§What do you want then?§ Harry asked.

§Someone clever.§ A delighted smile crossed her face. §If you want me. Catch me.§

Sian broke into a sprint directed at him. Harry braced for impact. Instead of crashing into him, she adjusted for her real target. She shifted her approach at the last moment, now heading for the opening in the enclosure that was behind him. Sian let out a little laugh as she rushed by him.

The chase was on.
