This Wednesday feels like a Friday! Also, it's quiet, also it's my first post in ages, thanks to everyone who tagged me in the past...month? God it's been forever. I hope everyone is enjoying all the COC content and the second to last day of this year before the return of the light! I moved into my new house last Tuesday and it's still a huge mess, but my brain decided that not writing was no longer an option yesterday, so I've got some Simon's Two Mums words for y'all. Simon POV,
"Headmaster, I hardly think…"
"Zip it," The Mage says to Ms Possibelf with a sharp gesture and her voice stops as though her lips have stuck together. "Simon."
I follow. It's as though I've been tied to him with a string. It's sticky and itchy and the roaring isn't enticing anymore, with every step I take it's more and more terrifying.
We're out on the lawn, and there she is: red and gold scales, sparkling eyes, smoke floating out of the corners of her mouth. She's majestic. I hold my hand out to her and The Mage slaps it down.
"She's not a pet. Attack stance."
I spread my feet wider, take my wand out and hold it across my body.
She's enormous and beautiful and prowling towards us.
I don't want to hurt her.
"Try a bombardment spell," The Mage says. He doesn't even have his wand out. He's standing a little bit behind me.
My heart stutters in my throat, every bit of rage and hurt swelling up and rushing through me like fire.
I drop my wand hand.
"No."
"Simon," his voice is hard like stone. I hold my hand out toward the dragon. "She's not a pet. Use a bombardment spell. For Crowley's sake."
Instead I say, "I'm not going to hurt you." It's a whisper, but it comes out like a spell, heavy and echoing in my head. The dragon looks at me. "No one's going to hurt you."
Tagging in everyone!! Happy Solstice eve!
