"Auror you might be but I'll warn you, again, not to get too close." Charlie murmured as Tonks edged closer to the cave entrance.

Tonks turned and gave him a hard look; her hair cycled to an intense red before bleeding back into a more sedate shade... if florescent pink could be considered sedate. "I heard you, Weasley. No need to repeat yourself."

Charlie's mouth quirked up at the corners. "Well, perhaps I can't help myself. Dragons usually don't take too kindly to orders." He let the smile loose full blast on her. "Aurors apparently don't either."

Tonks pressed her lips together and narrowed her eyes at him then tossed back her head. "I know how to follow orders. Just because I don't follow yours is entirely another matter. I want to see--"

She was interrupted when a roar echoed out of the cave. A large Welsh Green ambled out of the cave followed by a smaller dragon and a baby. Its relatively tiny wings fluttered as it watched its mother then wailed as she took to the air. The third wyvern glanced around the clearing.

Charlie grabbed Tonks about the waist and tumbled her to the ground just as a wash of flame covered the area.

"That was close," he breathed. "You all right?"

Tonks nodded, burying her face at his throat. "I'm good here."
