The next day the group was down at Hagrids cheering him up he was howling like a wounded animal and crying about his baby being kidnapped Ryan sat by his side and patted his back comforting him with soft words and making him tea so he could sober up a bit. Ryan really was the best friend always going out of his way to help his distressed pals he even helped magic the door back. he told Hagrid that whoever it was must have been a generous handsome man to leave all that gold. Noone noticed fang looking at him in terror. they got onto the topic of what was actually stolen and Hagrid cried that it was a dragon egg and then Hermione went into lecture mode about how it was illegal and how he lives in a wood house and how they could kill people. Really tiny problems you know inconsequential things. Ryan was inwardly thinking Godzilla was a great name and can't wait to hatch it later. All while he nodded his head and agreed with Hermione and tried to cheer Hagrid up. after a few hours they all made their way back to the castle. Ryan complimenting them all for being great people. they made their way back to the library where Ryans shadow stole all the dragon raising books and he nonchalantly did his homework meanwhile the girls were looking at him suspiciously and he was starting to sweat nervously. 'they couldn't know could they?' he looked at them. Fuck they know. only Harry and Hermione were oblivious never believing Ryan would do something like that such loyal friends they are. Daphne and Tonks leaned over and whispered "We want to know" ah shit. he whispered back later and started mentally browsing his store until he remembered his teleport rings to the kingdom he could upgrade those for occulmency protection Luna didn't need it her mind was covered perfectly but the other 2 not so much he upgraded all the rings to prevent minor poisons and love potions as well as help fight the imperious curse. costing a pretty penny but worth it. they finished their homework and headed back to the common room for the night. Ryan and the girls headed up to their dorms where they set up their trunks. Luna had apparently bragged about her cuddle time every night and the linked trunks so the cat was out of the bag and the other 2 were quite jealous and I'm pretty sure Luna is trying to get them to join she's such a good waifu trying to feed the harem. they met up a few minutes later. "so mind explaining what's going on and what kind of secrets your keeping from us" her and tonks looked slightly hurt at that so he explained about how he couldn't tell them because Dumbledore and Snape like to read minds which they were shocked about and furious but Ryan said he had a way to prevent it and let them in on his biggest secret. the girls were excited and felt warm in their chest being trusted so much. "Grab my hands" they did and he phased into his throne room put on his white party hat sat upon his throne with Luna in her snorlax chair by his side and said "Welcome to the kingdom of dragonreach my person kingdom imprinted upon my soul. You stand before the mighty King Ryan and Queen Luna I sayith now I am a God in this realm tremble before my might" And he waved his hand exaggeratedly. then he laughed and said just kidding before explaining about how there's only like 12 house elves and his other wife who he introduced and explained all the going on of the kingdom how it worked and what he did. he then presented them with the 2 rings and told them what they did and how they worked they put them on and he said "now we are married by kingdom rules my kingdom my rules no takes backsies." they were shocked until he started laughing and said he was joking maybe later though. they didn't know if he was kidding about that and looked at Luna who only smiled. A gentleman doesn't trick or trap a lady. now onto the birthing. they were standing around a firepit watching the egg Ryan had found *cough cough* hatch slowly as a little black Norwegian Ridgeback climes out and snorted flames. Ryan explained how every animal in the kingdom was 100% loyal and would never harm who he didn't want them too he showed them to the mine farm he had made filled with bunnies and such he placed in a feeding bowl some milk and smashed meat of the highest quality with the name Godzilla on the side and let the elves take care of it the food here was special and would make is dragon almost triple the size of regular dragons and twice as strong and healthy they then left so Ryan could show them his village he was building all the upgrades he's done to the castle his new orchard and vineyard he winery which was just about to be in use his master forge and knights barracks he told them about some of the farms special abilities and some of his plans for the future if they wanted to join him they were all excited and eagerly accepted they then left the kingdom and headed back to the trunk where they all headed off to their own except Luna who they noticed followed him to his room. maybe next they thought everyone loves to cuddle them included. but tonight they had alot to think about. Ryan and Luna cuddled up and stayed watching some family guy talking about dragon taming and maybe riding it one day if Ryan ever got over his fear of heights he promised to work on it. being a dragon knight was most little boys dreams and you can't be one if you can't fly a dragon.
