When Ben got down to Hagrid's, he found Fang, the boarhound sitting outside with a bandaged tail; he let low growls at Ben as if complaining about the bullying he had faced and seeking justice.

Ben threw him a big piece of meat to chew on and knocked on the door. Hagrid opened a window instead and struck his neck out.

"I won't let you in," he puffed. "Norene's at a tricky stage -nothin' I can't handle."

"Lemme in, I've come to lend a hand. I've brought somethin' for her, ye see."

When the door opened, Ben saw a prowling dragon lunge at Hagrid's giant foot.

"Aargh! It's all right, she only got my boot -jus' playin' -she's only a baby, after all."

Ben had no words left for Hagrid. Despite being enchanted by the Dragonette himself, he could still see the viciousness behind her orange eyes, but somehow, the giant looked past it.

"Here, drink this," he said pulling a small vial from underneath his robes, "her bite's poisonous."

He had mastered retrieving small objects from his [Storage], and the long robe worked perfectly to hide the mist from everyone.

"Norene, stop that. He doesn't taste as good as this," he said, waving a piece of mammoth snout in front of her.

She gobbled the whole thing at once and blew out a small flame, cooking the meat inside her mouth.

"Gor blimey, that smells like a feast fit for a giant. What's that tasty meat?"

"Elephant snout?" Ben said, not sure if Hagrid would buy it.

"You got any more of that? U-Um, for Norene of course," he said, washing down his watering mouth with the [Cure Poison] potion.

"Ugh- that's horrible, even for me," he said wiping his mouth.

"Here," said Ben, handing out a large piece of meat that was half his height.

"Where did you pull that out from?" Hagrid exclaimed, Ben had pulled it out from underneath his robes.

"And it's awf'lly hairy, isn't it?"

"D'ye want it or not Hagrid? It can go back where it came from, ye know."

*Knock*Knock*

"Hagrid, it's us," Ben opened the door for the duo.

"Welcome to the wee dragon sanctuary. If ye'd like to book a dragon safari, do it at yer own peril," Ben said, giving his best tour guide impression.

"It won't be for long, Charlie's agreed to take it-"

"HER"

"Yes, he's agreed to take her in, they'll pick her up on Saturday night," said Hermione, completing Harry's sentence.

There was a look of relief on Hagrid's face, Ben wasn't sure if it was the news or the fact that Norene was finally calm, coiled up under the table.

"That's great news, how about we have some fried elephant snout to celebrate?"

He immediately got two weird looks from the kids and one hungry look from the giant.

"No? I've got rabbits too," he said, pulling out two rabbit legs from under his robes."

The looks turned even more bizarre.

"How'd you do that?" asked Hermione.

"Ah, Barry Poppins, Perfectly Perfect in every way, at your service," he said, holding out his hand for a shake.

"Who?"

"Seriously, you didn't get that? Mary Poppins? Mary- Barry, No?" He said, awkwardly taking back his hand and scratching his head.

'Damn those Obliviators, ruined a perfectly fine reference,' he cursed under his breath.

"What was that?" said Hermione, bringing her ear closer.

"Uh- nothing, it's just a nifty expansion charm, keep it mum though, the ministry folk keep a tight watch on it," he said in a lowered voice, looking over their shoulders.

The three waited patiently as Hagried grilled the snout and the rabbit legs.

"It'll be just a bit, have a cup of tea to tide ye over," said Hagrid, handing out three hot cups of tea, "Umm, I haven't had any the whole day, kept me busy, she has," he said, pointing at the slumbering dragon under the table.

She was taking steady long breaths and there was smoke coming out of her nostrils, Ben was starting to really like her and didn't feel like saying goodbye to her.

He had a wild idea though, an Idea that needed a lot of hard work to come to life.

Ben returned to the castle with a belly full of rabbit and mammoth meat, the food bought from the store was incredibly delicious, especially when followed by Honningbrew Mead.

He made his way to the library under invisibility, sipping mead and singing songs,

"Cheers to the freakin' weekend

I drink to that, yeah-e-yeah

Oh, let the Jameson sink in

I drink to that, yeah-e-yeah

Don't let the bastards get you down

Turn it around with another round

There's a party at the bar

Everybody put ya glasses up, and I drink to that

Yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah

Yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah"

Don't worry, he was under the [Muffle] spell, nobody could hear him.

"FUCK, there's two more days of boring classes, uff."

Lessons were getting quite intense as exams were nearing, it was only because of self-answering quills that Ben had so much free time.

Since he didn't need to join everyone else for dinner, he focused on finding books on familiars and compiling the conjuration knowledge that was already in his head.

There were familiars in this world too. Mrs Norris, Filch's feline companion was an example. The amount of trouble that the cat had given Ben before he got hold of invisibility was immense.

The mages in Skyrim mostly preferred using Nature spirits like his spectral wolf because the degree of control over them was much stronger than living animals.

They will fight to the death as they can't really die, they were believed to be remnant wills of Et'Ada that had merged with mundus(nirn), well everything is quite confusing when it came to the lore of the elder scrolls universe.

Controlling a living being takes a very strong mind and a lot of work. A telepathic link was the basis of any successful summoning according to the Conjuration knowledge in Ben's mind.

Familiars are psychically connected and can telepathically communicate with witches and wizards, but this only seemed like muggle folklore in this world, Ben couldn't find any books that dived deep into this topic in the library.

There have been speculations and many wizards have formed deep bonds with their pets but very few can be said to have familiars, ironically a squib was able to do something that many wizards couldn't.

"I wish there was a wizard Internet," he said as he returned the books to their respective places.

So far, it seemed that mental strength was not enough, he needed to build a close relationship with the animal first, maybe he can use the spell structures from Conjuration magic and with Ben's innate familiarity with Norene, it shouldn't be too difficult for Ben to create a new spell.

The only limitation now was time. He only had until Saturday midnight and that gave him two days to figure this out.
