Charlie sighed after reading the letter Fred and George had sent, claiming that he was under both a magical leech and had had a creature inheritance blocked.
Harry was their source of information, and according to them, all the Weasley children and Molly were included in the Selwyn Magical Codex. And Harry was pretty trustworthy, so he was likely telling the truth, as dire as the news sounded.
So Charlie needed to take the day off and make a trip to the Romanian branch of Gringotts, it looked like. Luckily, he did business with them pretty frequently. They knew him there.
He went to see his supervisor and explained things to the woman. She was big and imposing, and stronger than she looked, but she was also a mother herself and served as almost a surrogate mother to everyone at the reserve and wanted all of her employees to be safe and healthy and happy. They referred to her as Big Mama, and she took the name in good humour and even referred to herself as Mama to them, on occasion. They did their jobs better when they were well-taken-care-of, and she made sure they knew She was watching to make sure they kept up with their self-care, even though the dragons were a full-time job. She told Charlie to take the day, but be ready to go back to work bright and early tomorrow morning. His normal schedule would resume, and his next break would come three days later, as his schedule said.
Charlie smiled and thanked her.
“Ah, go, take care of things!” She said dismissively. “You are needed here, so hurry back and be ready tomorrow. You are on horntail duty.” She told him warningly.
Charlie groaned good-naturedly. The horntail was the feistiest dragon they had, but she was going to go into hibernation any day now. Watching her was both exciting and dull work at times like these, and there was no telling which side the coin would land on until it had landed.
Big Mama laughed as Charlie left, heading for Gringotts.
After an Apparition and twenty minutes of walking, Charlie walked into the Romanian branch of Gringotts and went up to the counter. “I need to speak to Longfang.” He requested in heavily-accented Romanian.
The goblins eyed him, decided they had seen him before, and hurried off to fetch the goblin he usually went through.
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Weasley!” Longfang said, stepping up to the counter. “What brings you by during working hours? Your free time shouldn’t be for another three days.” He noted.
Charlie sighed. “I was told to come by, that it was urgent. My brothers said I need to get an inheritance test done and have a creature block removed and a magical leech removed as well.” He said.
He didn’t want to believe about the leech, considering what they had said about where the magic was going, but the twins had never outright lied to him yet. They had stretched the truth in the past, but every lie they told always held more than a kernel of truth within.
He was, therefore, inclined to believe them, as much as he hoped they were wrong this once.
Longfang frowned and nodded. “Certainly, we can do that. Come with me, if you are going to have things removed, we'd best do it in private.” He said.
Charlie followed him to an office and the goblin pulled a sheet of parchment out of a drawer, along with a dagger. “Prick your finger, four drops onto the parchment, please.”
Charlie’s eyebrows rose. “Four drops? How far back do we need to go?”
Longfang grinned. “Standard procedure here, the four-generation test is the only one we do. This one will also check for blocks, potions, spells and compulsions, so anything you have on you will be discovered. No need for another test.” He explained.
Charlie hummed and pricked his finger, let the drops fall onto the parchment and then cleaned the blade.
Longfang watched in interest as the parchment filled.

Charlie stared down at the page in mute shock.
“Holy... Dracken?! How powerful am I supposed to be?!” He whispered.
Longfang frowned. “How old are you?”
Charlie cleared his throat. “23 years old, almost 24. Why?”
Longfang sighed. He took out a vial of pale green liquid and handed it over. “Drink it all. It will feel strange. There will be a buzzing sensation in your chest.” He explained.
Charlie took the potion and felt the buzzing he spoke of as magic began to pool in his core, more magic than he had felt before.
Longfang took a deep breath. “Before I give you the potion to unblock your creature, you need to know this: the inheritance will hit on your next birthday. When you shift into your dragon form, savour it and hold that form for as long as you can, up to four hours. If you can hold it for that long, you will recover magically and will be able to attain that form again. If it slips away before four hours have passed, it will be the one and only time you will ever be in dragon form, and it means your core will never quite recover fully. You will be able to shift to your Dracken form, still, but only a Dracken at full power can attain their dragon form after the first shift, which is involuntary. Due to the time you spent under the leech, full recovery might be an impossibility. That is one of the inherent risks of putting someone under one for so long.”
Charlie’s hand balled into a fist at that news. He could be permanently damaged, and his own mother had condoned it, had benefitted from it!
He felt the betrayal more keenly than he'd ever felt anything before, and it hurt fiercely.
“I understand.” He said through gritted teeth. “Hand me the potion.”
Longfang handed over a purple potion and Charlie took it. He drank it down and shivered as it worked its way through him.
“Is that it?” He asked.
Longfang nodded. “That is all we can do. Now we wait and see.” He said.
Charlie sighed. “Should I ask for time off for my birthday?”
Longfang nodded. “At least a week. It takes that long for the bond to settle. And that will give you time to seal it after getting to know your mate for a few days.”
“I can do that.” Charlie said.
Longfang inclined his head. “We will see you in a few days, then, Mr. Weasley.”
Charlie nodded dazedly, thoughts whirling in his head. It was a lot to take in, and Longfang was thankfully giving him time to process it all as he left.
Charlie wandered the Wizarding section for a few hours, window shopping and getting lunch while he was out. He eventually headed back to the reserve, but he was still in shock over the news.
While the inheritance itself had been expected, Dracken was the last thing he'd considered the possibility of! And for it to come from the Prince line... He needed to talk to someone, and judging by the news he'd gotten from the twins, Harry was the best choice. His father was, after all, the latest Lord Prince. If he was going to question anyone about what knowledge of Drackens he could glean from the Prince family journals, Harry would be the most forthcoming.
Charlie relayed his news to his team, and they congratulated him on his coming inheritance, commiserated with him over the leech and what the long exposure could have done to his magical reserves, and he even managed to score a night with Vanessa and a promise from her brother Andre to share the next night with him. They could tell he needed the comfort of a warm body next to him in bed after the revelations, and both had been with him before. They had their own beds, of course, but they were rarely in them, preferring to share their nights with the other handlers whenever they felt the desire. And both were insatiable.
Charlie wrote a letter to Harry before heading to bed and sent it off, hoping he'd get a reply soon. He was going to look for a book on Drackens, but it was always better to obtain a first-hand accounting. And Harry had access to some.

“Does this work for you?” Harry asked, cuddling closer to Tom.
The man sighed. “If you father goes looking for you in the m9rning only to find you weren’t in the dungeons—”
“I will take all the blame.” Harry said, then kissed him.
After the kiss, Tom frowned. “He won’t give you all the blame, that the thing. At least half of it will be heaped on me, and I tried to get you to sleep in your bed.” He protested.
Harry snorted. “Well, I’m sleeping here.” He said firmly.
Tom sighed. “At least close the shirt.” He pleaded. “I won’t be able to sleep with you half-undressed beside me.”
Harry shook his head and pressed his bared chest against Tom's. “Nope. We'll be wearing a lot less eventually, might as well get used to it.” He said cheerfully.
Tom sighed and closed his eyes.
Harry drifted off easily, and had wonderful dreams of being wrapped in a warm, safe cocoon of love and serenity.
Tom held Harry and tried to ignore the partial nudity while his consort-to-be slept. He eventually drifted off in the wee hours of the morning, cursing his promise to let Harry set the pace.
The teen was a terrible tease when given free rein.
