The toddler sized toad stared at Harry for a long moment and then shook his head. “You can’t sign our summoning contract.”
“What? Why can’t nii-san sign the contract?” Naruto yelled. “Are you being mean because he’s got less chakra than me?”
The toad threw it’s pipe at Naruto’s head with unerring accuracy. “No you idiot. We would have been happy to have such a sensible summoner, especially now.”
“Then let nii-san sign it,” Naruto said.
“I already said he can’t,” the toad countered in exasperation. Before Naruto could argue the toad said, “He’s already in a contract with something else. I can’t tell exactly what, but I can tell they won’t share.”
Naruto blinked and turned to Harry with a questioning look.
Harry shrugged. “I don’t remember signing a contract with any animals.”
The toad in front of them huffed. “Some might still follow the old ways. Before written contracts came into common use. Maybe you had a face to face agreement?”
Harry frowned in concentration. “I really can’t think of anything,” he admitted after a long moment of thought.
The toad hummed thoughtfully and said, “Then just use a summoning technique and see what appears.”
With Naruto’s encouraging nod, Harry went through the seals for the summoning technique. Energy from his body connected to something distant and familiar. In fact it connected to many familiar somethings that Harry couldn’t quite name. Before he could fully examine or understand them, one of the connections pulled and raced towards in.
As the smoke cleared in front of him, Harry was greeted with vibrant orange eyes surrounded by stormy grey feathers.
“Buckbeak?” Harry said in wonder.

The last post for Xmas in the last hours of September, mostly because I wanted to end with something a bit more positive drabble wise. Also I really need to sleep.
But keep a look out for blog content in the upcoming weeks.
