The cave

[Draco Malfoy]

*apparates by the oak tree in the lowest field and rubs his hands together*

Brr. Bit cold.

*looks around for Vladislav*

[Bojan Vladislav]

**apparates**

Sorry for the delay, I think I apparated in the wrong field to start with.


**looks around**

Okay Draco. I think I can see it.

**picks his way through an enclosed area of rocks and trees**

[Draco Malfoy]

*follows him*

Yeah, it's just there.

*ducks under a branch and stands by the entrance*




What do you think?

[Bojan Vladislav]

**stoops down on his hands and knees and peers in**

Not bad at all, I think. I am vorried that the entrance is too small for ven it is fully grown. It looks bigger inside. It vill do for the first few months I am sure.

**stands up and brushes his cloak down**

You vill need a large cage to put over the entrance until you have her fully trained also.

**smiles and notices Draco shivering**

You are cold. Let us go back inside.

**turns to face towards the manor and disapparates**

[Draco Malfoy]

*shoves his hands in his pockets as Vladislav inspects the cave*

Yeah, I will definitely be getting a cage put over it.

*nods after his suggestion and disapparates after him*

[Grimley the House elf]

He apparates with his fellow house elf into the cold cave. He looks around and shudders at the thought of a dragon in the manor.

He orders another house elf to conjure some shovers and get digging while he eyes the place.

[Grimley the House elf]

He explores the cave and decides to get digging too before he gets into trouble

[Draco Malfoy]

*is sitting on a rock outside the cave in front of a small lit fire, swigging from a bottle of brandy and singing to himself (and Zorah)*

[Zorah]

~tugs on her long chain attached to her back left leg and secured around Draco's wrist as she crawls slowly up the side of the cave~

[Draco Malfoy]

*stands up, swaying and tugs Zorah's tail gently*

Zorah youmm little one, can't believe how mmmuch you've grownmm. Hic.

*raises the bottle as if he is toasting to that fact and then takes another giant swig*

[Lazio]

*apparates onto the grounds, cocking his head to the side after hearing something reminiscent of chains rattling and follows the noise*

*struts down the green grass and spots Malfoy*

Hey, what are you doing out here alone with a bottle of brandy? And can I get a drink off you?

[Draco Malfoy]

*rolls head over to Nott and looks at him with hazed eyes*

Ahh Nott, nottt alone. *points vaguely to Zorah*


Take a bottle, mmdown by the rock, stash for Zorah, she likes ol' brandy you know.

*sways a bit and tugs on Zorah's chain*

[Zorah]

~growls as the chain is tugged, making her loose her footing~

~stretches her wings out for balance and turns her head at hearing the word 'brandy' since now she's learnt the word~

[Lazio]

*grabs a bottle and uncorking it, taking an unceremonious swig and stands looking mildly impressed*

Your dragon, I take it?

[Draco Malfoy]

No, a toad, what does it look like Nott?

*falls back onto the grass, narrowly missing the small fire*

She's sleeping in her cave tonight. I think I should sleep out here too.

*lies back to look at the stars in the clear night sky, brandy tipping over himself as he can't hold the bottle up straight*
