H The next day H

Neville was picking plants, leaves, barks, seeds, flowers, everything that he knew was nearly impossible to get in greenhouses. Colin and Luna were just looking around for the fun of it. Harry however was scouting the area for threats.

She just happened to find one that was much larger than a highly venomous snake. She however thought that it was beyond brilliant. Aderen eggs. They were eggs larger than her head that would contain lizards. Lizards that were larger then horses when they were full grown with a very deadly set of teeth. It was a good hour from there camp.

She slipped back to the camp reaching it just as Luna and Colin returned. "I found Aderens," she said causing Neville to look up from his notes.

"As in the giant man-eating lizards," Neville demanded.

She grinned brightly, "Yes, there's a nest. The eggs are bigger then my head. I haven't seen the lizard, but the eggs are definitely there."

"I got my camera," Colin stated as Luna cheered grabbing her notebook.

Neville closed the trunk and put it inside the bags. "Alright, I am definitely coming," He said as they went towards the nest. Only now the mother was back and was laying on the eggs, fast asleep. "How jealous would Hagrid be right now," Neville whispered as Colin took pictures hoping the flash did not wake them.

"Beyond jealous," Harry said amazed. "It's bigger than a bloody horse."

"Wonder if there are any Advenderens," Neville whispered excited instead of horrified by the thought.

Harry grinned kissing him. "I hope so."

It seemed insane, Advenderens were easily five times bigger than an Aderens. They would barely make a snack for it but they would kill for the chance to see one in person. "Probably deeper into the forest," Luna suggested. "From what I've noticed, the creatures and plants get larger the closer we get to the core."

"Ohh this trip is going to be fun," Harry stated excitedly.

Neville pointed to some shells near the nest. "This mama already has some grown babies," he stated. "So, there are probably dozens more in here, somewhere."

"Want to see if there are any nearby nests," Harry asked as the others nodded and they went around the sleeping mother finding other nests. They hid behind eggs, in one nest there were newly hatched babies. Colin quickly took photos of them. Luna noted something as they found older babies.

"They start out nearly white but turn a deep dark green as they get older," she whispered seeing the newly hatched clutch.

Neville nudged Harry, "one pound of fresh shells...easily sold for 100 galleons."

She nodded grabbing a container from her backpack which she had with her. "You both stay here, be ready to run if she catches us."

They nodded and the two snuck in and filled the container with the fresh shells, getting well over 20 pounds of shells from the newly hatched nest. They sealed it and the moment they did so the container went into stasis.

Harry heard an almost growl and saw the mother looking their way. "Run," she hissed as they took off away from their camp. The other two following as they escaped the creature easily.

They laughed as they returned to the camp. "I got a picture of it chasing you," Colin said causing them to roar with laughter.

They packed up their things and made sure everything was ready as they headed back deeper into the forest. walking for two days before they sat up another temporary camp deciding that it would be the perfect spot to stay for more than just overnight. "Merlin it just gets better and better," Neville decided as he glanced around. "I mean, just when you think it cannot get more beautiful."

"It does," Harry finished for him. "I agree entirely."

They climbed into their tent since it was late, Harry just lying in his arms. "You know, I don't think that we will ever forget this will we?"

"Never," Harry agreed Cuddling up into his arms. "It's everything I have ever dreamed of."

"Getting chased by giant lizards, eaten alive by bugs...rained on like crazy," Neville listed. "Insane but I am loving every minute of it."

They were walking to another place to camp when they found exactly what they were looking for. Advenderens, the eggs in the nest were the size of large boulders, the lizards themselves were bigger then dragons.

Colin began snapping photos at the eggs as they approached.

Neville pointed out some shells and they collected them. The mother moved but they hid amongst the eggs and she never noticed them.

"If we are going to get deeper to where we can find that plant of Nevs, we will have to go over the eggs," Harry whispered worriedly. "This nest...it goes as far as the eye can see and it gets denser in the other direction."

"Neville climbed on top of one of the eggs quietly glancing around him. The eggs were relatively closely packed. The shells were thick so for the most part they supported their weight. He slid back down the side landing quietly. "We can defenetly not go between the eggs. Overs the only way."

"If mama Godzilla over there sees us, we are lizard food," Colin stated as they packed their bags carefully.

Harry bit her lip. "Move quickly and carefully."

The others nodded and they helped Luna up onto the top of the eggs, they jumped from egg to egg, keeping an eye on their surroundings. It was going good until there was a crack just as Neville jumped. He tried to jump again but the egg shell gave way landing him inside the ooey gooey mess within. He stood up gasping since he had gone inside it entirely. Harry did a quick look around to make sure no angry mother over heard.

"Hmmm, I wonder if lizard eggs taste like chicken," Luna said softly as they laughed though Neville scowled. He turned his head and saw the animal inside was alive and stunned luckily but apparently the egg had nearly been to term. Colin reached in giving him a pull, but he was stuck.

"Wait," Harry suggested Colin put his camera in his bag so he could get a more clear grip though he of course made sure to take a picture first, the second one had Neville flipping him off. Harry took off her bag and pulled out a rope. "On three," she suggested as they pulled and he managed to climb out."

Harry jumped back to her egg before grabbing her bag. When she looked up she saw a very angry mom. "Running...now probably a good idea," Neville stated seeing the same thing.

"You think," Colin said grabbing Lunas hand jumping. The Advenderens was close behind them as they got off of the eggs and ran through the forest. Luckily they found a large body of water and jumped in. They ducked down when she got near and no longer knowing where her pray was, she returned to her nest and they swam to the other side.

"Well, that was fun," Harry said ringing out her hair.

Neville chuckled finding it amusing now that he was no longer covered in goo. "Fun is a word for it," he offered.

"Good thing we made sure all our bags were water proof," Colin stated checking his cameras but they were fine.

They all sat down tiredly, "how badly is everyone hurt," Harry asked worriedly.

Lunas arm was bleeding slightly since she had scraped it on a tree. Harry grabbed a potions satchel and treated it before binding. "I'm fine," Neville said when she looked his way. "Really, nothing bad enough to be treated."

"Col," she asked worriedly.

"M'fine Harry," He promised. "So... should we make camp here."

Neville shook his head, "Away from the water. This is probably a lot of creatures drinking ground."

Luna got an excited look on her face, "Like that centenion," she said as a canine like creature came to the water's edge a good distance away. It had purple fur and red eyes. She gave Colin a look and he took a photo for her.

"Is that even in the book of monsters," Harry asked amazed.

Luna shook her head, "Most people don't think it exists, can we follow it?"

They all agreed and tracked the creature to its den. "we can camp a little way away so you can study it," Neville offered. She nodded excitedly as they left to set up camp about twenty minutes away from the water.
