"Here is the plan. I will distract it and you will sneak towards the tree and steal one of those lemon drops." Harry announced, taking out the fabled Invisibility Cloak from his Inventory and passing it to her.
Iris took it from him but frowned nervously.
"Will you be alright? That looks like a huge scary snakelike dragon." She mumbled, glancing at the sleeping wingless dragon.
Harry's lips turned up in a confident smile.
"My dear, you haven't even seen my true strength yet. And I don't think you will be forced to see it today. Just go do your work and be safe. I will be absolutely fine. Honestly, I am excited. I have something awesome to test." He chuckled, trying to reassure her.
Iris nodded reluctantly.
"Okay. Best of luck." she said and hid under the cloak of death.

Harry walked towards the tree boldly and stood at some distance from it. He used [Observe] on the dragon.
[Name: Dumbodoor
Race: Eastern Dragon
Lvl: 1000(Max)
HP: 100,000
MP: 200,000
Affection: 0
Obedience: 0
Thoughts about you: Nothing]
Harry suppressed the pool of fear which was spreading inside him. He thanked the Creator that he didn't need to kill this thing. It would have been impossible and fatal at his current level.
Now, all he needed to do was distract it and hope Iris was up for the task.
"Evil Dragon, Dumbodoor. I am here to take a lemon drop from your Largebone. You can either lay still and let me do it or we can struggle. The choice is yours." Harry yelled, ignoring so many innuendos that he just made.
The Head of the dragon twitched shortly before its grey slitted eyes opened lazily.
"Tell me your name, young mortal, who dares to show his face in my sacred garden." A deep rumbling voice came through the dragon's snout.
"I am Harry Boner. Son of Lily Elven Boner. I am the dragon of the west in whose veins the power of a celestial star flows." Harry claimed proudly and dearly hoped that his sister hadn't heard it or if she did then she wasn't laughing her arse off instead of doing her work.
The dragon huffed mirthfully, a white plume of mist flowing out of his snout.
"You are too young to challenge me, Harry my boy. Tell me the reason you need my lemon drop for. I may provide it freely if I find your desire acceptable."
Harry stared dumbly at him. This wasn't part of the plan.
"My mother is cursed by a spurned lover who in a fit of anger put her into an enchanted sleep. I need this fruit to heal her."
"I see. It seems like a valid reason. Let's see if you are telling the truth or not. Look in these old grey eyes, my boy." The dragon growled and widened his eyes. Harry couldn't help but stare back at the humongous orbs of grey.
"Hmm. I can't see your soul, my boy. Something shields your very soul and mind. But you are telling the truth. I can see it in your eyes. And sometimes all you need to read someone's mind is to look in their eyes. Many have come here in search of glory and adventure, they all died quickly and painlessly. Only you, Harry Boner, are the one who came here with a noble intention. Stand proud. Here, take it, my boy. Take it." Dumbodoor's rumbling voice was full of pride and respect.
A yellow candy was plucked magically from the tree by the dragon and was thrown towards him. Harry easily caught it and put it in the Inventory.
'What do you say about taking candy from a stranger? Yay!'
Harry glanced at the dragon and bowed briefly.
"Thank you, Dragon of East. You have my eternal gratitude." said Harry. He felt for his Invisibility Cloak and was pleased that Iris had backed off towards the edge of the forest after the plan went off the rails. It wouldn't do attracting Dumbodoor's wrath because he caught her sneaking and judging it not noble enough.
"Goodbye, youngling. I hope for your mother's fast recovery." Saying that the dragon closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Harry walked towards the forest half in bewilderment and half in triumph. Iris soon reappeared beside him as she folded the cloak and handed it to him which he then put back in the Inventory.
"Even though the plan failed, it went smoother and easier than expected." Iris commented happily.
"Hmm. I am disappointed that I didn't get to transform into a giant red dragon and distract him by using my [Shapeshifter] perk, but I guess it was for the better. Dumbodoor was really really powerful. I might only have been able to buy you a few minutes before I would have to teleport myself to safety. He was level 1000 so that's given. It's time like this that makes me realise how far I have to go in terms of gaining power. It shows how weak I am right now." Harry thought out loud.
Iris bit her lip in determination and promised herself to be serious about gaining power too. If her brother who was already so powerful but still felt he was weak, then she was not even in the same league.
"What is your level?" She asked curiously.
"It's 170 now, but after I finish this quest I will gain 15 more levels. I will reach level 185." Harry smiled proudly. Iris nodded in wonder.
"And what is my level?" She questioned him, her voice full of excitement. She knew she wasn't that powerful, but she must be at least 50 or 60 something.
"You are level 16." answered Harry.
Iris stumbled, but caught herself before she looked at him desperately.
"Really? I am just level 16?"
