But now they were getting instructions, so with quick nod of the head, Tiberius moved over toward the group that would work with Bunny.


Léo nodded and gave Tiberius a quick wave as he walked off to join his own group. Now to go play with the baby dragon! And not get eaten. Yeah. That was a good plan to have.

Thankfully she hadnt thought about that too much, otherwise she'd be freaking out.


And then it started. The seminar finally started. Listening to the other students introduce themselves she let her eyes wander through the room. Maybe she could find a way to remember all of their names....doing that she almost missed her turn." I am Charlotte Erikson, WU Moscow", the brunette said giving her best smile,"a harness is used for secure flying on the dragon, if one cant secure the harness they cant fly on it. Also i might be wrong but as far as i know harnesses are part of young dragons training. It gives them freedom and it gives the trainer control at the same time. " Something like that.

She could tell he was gifted at getting his students attention. What she wasn't sure about was how well Tancred got on with the youngsters. Perhaps she could help forge bonds? Why not! She certainly wasn't going to spend her time here on the sidelines.

Following the Dragon Commissioner's lead, the red head stood by his side and smiled. "I think I'll help with Bandit too, hope you don't mind!" Surely he wouldn't say no to a helping hand! "And why not start by having the kids introduce themselves!" What a wonderful idea, yeah?

"Those first and second year students, over here please!" In case they'd missed Mrs. Clark's assignments due to excitement. "Please, let's start by introducing yourselves. I'm sure the dragon commissioner wants to know who he has the pleasure of working with! Besides Bandit, I mean!" Harmony let out a little giggle!snort and then looked at the students cheerfully. Go on!


...

She didn't have to call him Professor? Ella smiled sheepishly and nodded her head, not knowing what to say about that. Should she thank him or? Oh gosh. Stop being awkward, Ella. I yi yi.

But wait! She wasn't working with him or Chris or Mordred? Not that this was the end of the world but still. She was going to be on her own. Well with Nigel which was nice but the guy had distracting hair and Williamson was going to be all the way over there. Sad days. Sad days indeed.

Eyeing the dragon commissioner curiously, the twenty year old headed over to stand by him. She was looking forward to being around such influential people and really, the thought of working with a younger dragon was quite appealing to her. Just thinking about it like that put her in a better mood, even if the red head was making her a bit nervous. Just a bit.

"Hi! Um...I'm Ella Bishop. I'm a second year student at Edinburgh and I'm just happy to be here." ...Oh gosh, that sounded so lame. Somebody else go, please.

The dragon commissioner was glad that Harmony decided to tag along with him and the younger kids. Already Tancred could tell that William would be just fine on his own with his group of students. It made sense; his friend had been a professor at Hogwarts. He, on the other hand, had no teaching experience. But he did have years and years of experience at the Welsh Dragon Reserve under his belt. The man gave his boss a smile when she joined the Bandit group. An extra pair of eyes to make sure the students didn't get eaten by a young dragon.

Speaking of students, Harmony had already called them over and got them to introduce themselves. Excellent. Now for the task of not forgetting their names. There was Ella, Léo, Charlotte, and Nigel. Easy enough to remember, right? Hopefully.

"It is a pleasure having you all here today. There can never be enough dragon lovers out there," Tancred responded, pulling on his dragon hide gloves. The students were old enough to know that they needed to follow his example, right? "My name is Tancred Adara. Feel free to call me Tancred if you'd like. I am the current dragon commissioner at the Ministry of Magic. Before that, I worked at the dragon reserve in Wales for thirteen years. And this is Harmony Skylark, head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."

He paused to let that sink into the young minds staring at him and then got around to answering the question one of the boys (that was Nigel, yes?) had. "Well, we can all start by putting on our dragon hide wear if you haven't done so already. We don't want any of you getting any nasty cuts or burns. When we get closer to Bandit, remember not to make any sudden movements or loud noises. Try to avoid his head or anything pointy." Common sense, right?

"Our first activity with Bandit is giving him some much needed exercise. From what I hear, he's a rather hyper young dragon. We will need to get a harness on him first, though. So, how do we get a harness on a dragon? Any good techniques that you know of?"


Léo gave Charlotte a slight laugh. "You look perfect, mademoiselle." No need to be super dressed up when dealing with dragons. He was dressed a little better than he probably should be himself, but they were old clothes and he could always replace them if they got burned.

And now the pretty red head department head said she was going to be joining them. What was her name again? Léopold really needed to work on learning people's names a bit better...or paying attention. Which was really hard when he was excited.

He listened as everyone else introduced themselves. Charlotte, Ella, Nigel. Got it. For now at least. Well at least he would be going to school with Nigel so he might see him around more. Now onto the more important things...the dragon. Little Bandit.

Oh good. Tancred reintroduced the red head. Harmony. Simple enough to remember. Hopefully. And man. Tancred sure had some experience. He was definitely glad he would be learning from him today. Léo did as he was told and pulled on his dragon hide stuff. No burning needed to occur today. Avs would have a fit if she heard he was being irresponsible. She was already mad at him for wanting to pet the dragons.

Simple enough instructions. Basically don't spook the young dragon. Same as with the horses on Avery's farm...which had tried to kick him at least once while he was there. "Per'aps a placement charm would work or another way using magic so we don't have to get too close at first." Or Léo would gladly volunteer to distract the dragon so someone could go strap a harness on him. That worked too.
