Like surgery." Standing opposite her aunt at that operating table in her lab had been a brilliant break in her summer from everything else that threatened to swallow her whole.

"I reckon he's still getting used to it? Have to watch him or he'll still put things in his mouth." But Emmerson was a great pretend!dragon mummy and was more careful these days.

The alternative...was not great.

The Gryffindor took a small step back to allow the dragon to stretch his wings. There was nothing but pride when she watched Artemis lift off the ground and take off down the corridor before turning sharply and heading back toward them. The first loop. The dragon took a moment to steady himself. The second loop.

Emmerson patted the spot by her at the window, indicating where he should perch. When he did, he got head pats. "That actually took a while. He'd get the first loop then end up in a wall or something. Broke him in half once, that wasn't fun to explain."

This whole story was giving off some serious Frankenstein vibes and Nerina thought it was kind of cool. "I didn't even know you could do something like that. She must be pretty brilliant." And a little cuckoo bananas, but hey, whatever worked for her.

"I'll remember that if he ever gets too close." Nerina thought the dragon was awesome, but she didn't want to get bit by it. Needed all her fingers and toes, thank you.

"Well, he's certainly mastered it now. Can he breathe fire, too?" She wasn't sure if that was a dumb question, but if Emm had put the dragon through surgery to give it a stomach, the sky was probably the limit with what was possible.
