Chapter two
‘Charlie,’ Molly screamed.
‘Stay back Molly. Harry’s transformed into a Morphixen and he’s a dragon. Usually they change to resemble or emulate something to do with their life-mate. Harry won’t hurt Charlie, but if we try to go near them, he will turn on us.’
‘What do you mean life-mate?’ Ginny asked as she stepped into the kitchen.
‘Harry’s Morphixen side has chosen his mate. They sense something in a person, then they will asked if their ready.’
Everyone stood transfixed as a dragon’s head slowly lifted, ‘Aaaare yooou reeeeadyyyyy tooo recieeeeve meeee?’ Harry’s low growling voice asked.
Charlie’s head lifted, ‘Yes.’ he stretched his head as high as he could, exposing his neck.
With another loud growl, the dragon Harry clamped the tip of his long jaw onto the side of Charlie’s exposed neck making Charlie groan. Everyone could tell it wasn’t a painful groan, but a pleasurable groan. Just then, George, Angelina, Lee, Bill, Fleur, and Percy stepped into the kitchen, either from the door or the fireplace. They all stared in complete shock until Bill went towards his brother.
‘No Bill, stay away. Harry won’t hurt Charlie, but he’d tear you to shreds if you went near them,’ Kingsley said urgently putting his arm out to stop Bill.
‘What in the hell is going on Kingsley and how is that Harry because it looks like a dragon?’ Bill asked.
‘He’s a Morphixen, but it’s strange that it’s taken this long, normally they will change right after their eighteenth birthday and as soon as they sense their life-mate. Why hasn’t Harry done this before?’
‘Charlie’s never normally here Kingsley. He’s been spending all his mornings helping everyone, like at Hogwarts. They haven’t seen each other before now,’ Arthur explained.
Another loud growl ripped through the kitchen as the dragon head moved back as Charlie’s clothes started to rip from his body as he slowly changed to become a stag. The dragon and the stag kept nuzzling each other until they both changed back to men and both were panting heavily.
‘Blimey, we’re naked, get us something dad,’ Charlie called as Harry and Charlie kept hold of each other so their fronts were close together. Arthur hurried to grab two sets of his robes and helped the two naked men dress.
‘Charlie, are you okay?’ Arthur asked anxiously.
‘Perfect, bloody hell that was amazing. I could feel the different life surging through me even though I have no idea what all this means,’ Charlie grinned as he put his arms around Harry.
‘I’m with you there Charlie. I don’t know what’s going on. Even though it was so sensual and erotic, why did I bite you?’ Harry growled as he’s arms went around Charlie, ‘But why did we end up naked and in front of everyone?’
‘Now just wait one blasted minute,’ Ginny glared, ‘Harry, you’re my boyfriend, so this isn’t happening.’
‘Ginny,’ Kingsley said calmly, ‘there’s nothing you can do. Harry’s a Morphixen, they choose their partners, their life-mates but only the one that is supposed to be there mate.’
Ginny glared and took a couple of steps towards Charlie and Harry let loose a large menacing growl erupted as he pulled Charlie behind him. Kingsley grabbed Ginny’s arm and pulled her back.
‘If he feels threatened or thinks his mates in danger, he will use anything to protect both of them, including kill Ginny, so don’t provoke him.’
‘But this can’t happen,’ Ginny yelled.
‘I’ve read up on Morphixen’s, but their extremely rare and have very powerful magic, as both a wizard and the animal they chose.’
‘Yes, they are Hermione. Everyone, it’ll be fine, just don’t make Harry think Charlie’s in danger.’
Everyone slowly sat down before Harry put his arms back around Charlie and they sat at the end of the table. Harry growled at Ginny because she kept glaring at them.
‘Ginny, try and calm down before you get hurt. This is new to Harry, he hasn’t learned to adjust to his other form. He will learn to control it, but it’s just too soon,’ Kingsley said.
‘I can’t, he’s supposed to be with me not my brother,’ Ginny said then got up to more growls, but she just ran up the stairs.
‘I’ve never heard of a Morphixen,’ Molly said.
‘Like Hermione said, they are very rare. I don’t even remember the last time there was one. Before any of us were born, I know that. Harry, how do you feel now you don’t see or sense any danger?’
‘Fine, just like I always do, but it’s like I have no control over wanting to keep Charlie safe.’
‘Yes, that’s normal. What about you Charlie, how did you feel?’
‘Like I’m whole, like I’ve found my meaning in life, well, I found my everything. It’s like I can see and sense everything,’ Charlie whispered to Harry and he nodded, ‘We know the sex of the baby Bill, if you want to know. We can tell you all things that normally no one could. Like, sorry Kingsley, but you had a morning shag before you came here. We can sense and smell it on you even if you showered, but you’re not the only one.’
‘Blimey, I never read anything about that, but you are right about the morning shag.’
‘You know what we’re having, you’re positive?’ Bill asked.
‘Yes, we are, we can see and sense the gender of the baby,’ Harry smiled.
‘I vould like to know,’ Fleur said.
‘Okay, so do I, so is it a boy or girl?’
Harry and Charlie grinned at each other then looked at the expectant couple, ‘A girl,’ they said together.
‘A girl, a daughter, well at least we know what to buy, girly things,’ Bill said as he kissed his wife.
‘You said someone else shagged, going to tell us?’ Kingsley asked.
Harry and Charlie grinned again, ‘Why not,’ they laughed as they saw the looks from two people, ‘Hermione and Ron, George and Angelina,’ again Harry and Charlie said together.
‘Everyone seems to be shagging, I want to go do the same thing,’ Charlie said groaning loudly.
Harry let out a low growl before he started kissing Charlie’s neck, licking around the bite marks.
‘You can get to that soon. I know you need to mate, for want of a better word. But we really need to talk here,’ Kingsley said.
‘It’s like we can’t control it Kingsley,’ Harry said as he only moved his mouth away from Charlie’s neck so he could be heard then went right back to sucking Charlie’s neck.
‘We need to now,’ Charlie said urgently then he picked Harry up and threw him over his shoulder and carried him from the house before anyone said anything.
‘I’m going to go find some books on this.’ Hermione said.
‘That’s a good idea Hermione, we need to have more information.’
‘Ron, will you come with me?’
‘Yeah, but I can’t believe my best mate and brother are gay and together. Charlie loved to shag woman and Harry was dating Ginny.’ everyone nodded in agreement with Ron’s comment as they realised some very important changes has just taken place. They just hoped that Ginny could handle this before she got hurt.
‘That might be so Ron, but when the Morphixen sees his mate, whether it’s a woman or a man, they both instantly know that’s who they want and they need to be with each other. This strong desire won’t leave them for a while.’
‘It’s strange that Harry never chose Ginny then, so how does that work?’ Percy asked.
‘No one knows why a Morphixen will chose someone. I remember reading about one, a wizard saw his worst enemy, they became life-mates and they also bond for life and always die on the same day. This couple I read about died when they were both very old, it was a man and a woman though.’
‘Why did they end up naked?’ Bill asked.
‘Changing caused their clothes to rip from their bodies, so they’re going to need to keep some type of robes or something with them at all times,’ Kingsley said.
‘What about Ginny, she looked so angry before?’ Ron asked.
‘She has to be made to understand how dangerous a Morphixen can get. Normally Harry isn’t dangerous, we all know that. But like you all saw, he sensed danger, not just to Charlie, but to himself. If Ginny does something to provoke Harry, he will change and attack. It’s purely for protection and they never use their Morphixen side to hurt anyone deliberately.’
‘Let’s go, we have to find out as much as we can on what Harry might do,’ Hermione and Ron got up and hurried from the house. Everyone else realised they would need to know more about the Morphixen so they would know what they could do around Harry and Charlie and what they couldn’t do. Kingsley said they weren’t dangerous unless they felt threatened. They need to know exactly what would set a Morphixen off, they needed to know everything.
‘It’s a good thing that Harry and Charlie both left, until Ginny can calm down. She’s been saying that Harry’s been stubborn, he doesn’t want to get serious straight away and she does. She also said she also wants to marry in about a year. Ginny wants all that, where Harry wanted to take things slow and take his time. So she’s not going to get over this for a while.’ Arthur said.
‘No, she won’t. It's probably why Harry wanted to take things slow. He’s inner self might have sensed a change coming. I haven’t read a lot on Morphixen’s, I just remember reading a bit about them when I was a student.’
‘You’re positive that Charlie’s in no danger Kingsley?’ George asked.
‘I’m positive, Harry will protect Charlie, but never hurt him and Charlie will only want to please Harry, in every way.’
‘As Harry turned into a dragon, because Charlie loves dragons, does that mean he can do whatever a dragon can, more than an animagi I mean?’
‘Yes, they literally become that animal, so when Harry learns to control this, he will be able to fly, breath fire, everything a dragon can. It was amusing though, there’s Harry, a quiet bloke really, on the small size for a man and he turns into this massive, fierce creature. Charlie’s the tough man that works with dangerous and large creatures. He’s well-built and a decent size and he turns into a stag, which are pretty harmless, and well, cute. It’s like there animal forms are opposite to their manly personalities.’
‘You’re right Kingsley, Charlie as a stag, not something we expected. Even though Harry’s dragon was smaller than a normal one, is that because he’s a man, so the dragon sort of fits him?’
‘Yes, as you saw, Harry’s dragon was large, about three times the size of Harry. But considering how big dragons are, that was a small one, but just as lethal as any dragon. I’ll have to ask Charlie what type that was, I was never really into dragons.’
‘Well if anyone would know, it would be Charlie. But are those two really, well, shagging?’ George asked.
‘Yes, they are mating in every way that means. I do know they can as men but they also can as their creature forms. When the change hits, they need to mate instantly, it confirms their bond and joins them together in every way. That’s all I know on Morphixen’s, but Hermione will be able to tell you more when she gets back. Anyway, I should go and start contacting everyone from the DA that’s on this list and work on a date to meet. Let me know if Hermione finds out anything I should know, but I think it’s all fine and you don’t have to be concerned. The main thing with Morphixen’s is they will protect their mate with their life and will never put them in danger.’
‘That’s good to know Kingsley, we’ll talk to you later.’ Arthur said.
‘So what do you think Ginny will do?’ George asked.
‘Hard to say right now, but we’ll explain more once we know more. I’m like everyone else, I’ve never heard of a Morphixen.’ Arthur said.
‘By the end of the day, we’ll all know everything there is, with Hermione researching them. Once she’s read up on something, she can repeat it word for word. It used to be annoying, but it’s going to come in handy now.’
‘Yeah, it will George, but I think I’m still in shock and in more than one way. First Harry as a dragon, then they knew what sex the baby is and who had a shag this morning. I wonder what else they can tell or sense, whatever it is they do,’ Bill said.
‘I’m sure we’ll find out Bill. So why don’t all of you start on some breakfast, while we wait for Hermione and Ron.’
Even though everyone started eating, they never stopped talking about Harry and Charlie, or what Ginny might do and that worried all of them. After they finished eating, Fleur, Bill and Angelina helped clean away the breakfast dishes they went back to their discussion.
Two hours later, Hermione and Ron walked back inside with a stack of books. Hermione instantly started reading; even Bill decided to look through one of the books. Four hours later, long after lunch was finished, Harry and Charlie stepped into the kitchen. Harry dressed but Charlie in his father’s robes, both grinning before Charlie sat and pulled Harry onto his lap.
‘We haven’t got long, I need to get my stuff,’ Charlie said.
‘Stuff, what stuff?’ Arthur asked.
‘All my clothes and stuff, Harry and I are going to be living together. Then we need to go home and repair a few things, clean up the mess we made of the house.’
‘We did some damaged, didn’t we Charlie.’ Harry grinned then started to lick the bite marks on Charlie’s neck again.
‘No, we need food Harry, more sex later.’ Charlie pulled his neck away from Harry who dropped his lip.
‘Oh, alright Charlie, anything you say, but we can later though, right?’
‘Yes we can, it’s good you know who’s in charge here babe.’
‘I just read about that,’ Hermione looked up, ‘Even though Harry is the Morphixen, a pure Morphixen and Charlie is just the recipient of his venom, Charlie will be the dominant partner. It doesn’t always work like that, but Charlie is older and larger than Harry, so he becomes the head of the family you could say, it’s like that, because Harry is the smaller and younger of the two.’
‘Oh, so Charlie will dominate me, I like the sound of that,’ Harry grinned again making Charlie laugh where everyone just kept staring at the two men as they kept snuggling with Harry curled up on Charlie’s lap.
‘Is there anything that should concern us Hermione, about either of their safety?’ Arthur asked.
‘No, the danger is to anyone else that tries to hurt either of them. As Harry is the pure Morphixen, he’s the stronger and the most dangerous creature. He will use that to always protect his mate, but so will Charlie. As you saw earlier, stag’s do have large antlers that can do some damage. They will always protect the other, it’s part of their bond. Now Kingsley mentioned that Morphixen’s will die on the same day, that’s true, there’s a lot of stories of this happening over history and most all died of old age. A male couple died when they were over a hundred, the older male was one hundred and fifty seven years old, the young partner died when he was one hundred and fifty one years old, but on the same day and at the exact same time. There are a lot more of those, but there is one couple, a man and a woman who died young. Before the magical world had a potion to cure the flu, they both fell victim to that at the same time and died from that. The man was forty nine years old, the woman was forty three years old. It’s all linked, if one gets sick so does the other one, if one dies, so does the other one.’
‘Hang on, so if Harry dies, then Charlie will as well?’ Bill asked.
‘Yes, their bonded in every way, their life essence are joined.’
‘Well the wars over, so there’s not really any danger out there anymore, so I think Harry and Charlie will live a long time.’ Ron said.
‘But Harry’s about to become an auror, that’s a high risk job, even without the death eaters and Voldemort.’
‘Yes that’s true Mrs. Weasley, but Harry being a Morphixen will actually help keep him safe. He can sense if there is danger around him before it happens. He can even sense dark magic, dark potions, anything that is considered a dark object. If say Draco Malfoy was here right now, Harry would sense his dark mark whether he knew it was there or not. He can also transform into his dragon which if you were facing a dragon, you know you wouldn’t survive a fight with one. Their hides are strong, they can withstand all spells even if it might hurt them. The killing curse would cause pain but not kill a dragon.’
‘That’s true, when we’ve had a badly injured dragon, we have to use a very strong potion to put a dragon to sleep, meaning kill it. That doesn’t happen very often. If a large dragon broke it’s legs, it would die a slow and painful death, the potion is the better way to go, kinder as well. So what you’re saying Hermione is Harry is literally a dragon in every way when he transforms?’
‘Yes, just like you become a stag in every way. This might shock both of you, well, it might shock everyone. But as Harry is the, sorry Harry, the female of the partnership, it’s the only way to describe this, Harry can get pregnant and lay an egg, but it won’t be a dragon, it will be a baby. It’s all explained here, once the egg is out, the mother, or dragon will break the egg so the baby is released, then transform back to his normal self.’
‘You mean I’ll give birth, like a woman, bloody hell,’ Harry sat there staring at Hermione. He didn’t know what to think of this latest news. He loved that he was a dragon and he loved having Charlie with him, but to actually give birth was something he wasn’t sure he could handle.
