Yep.

It takes a few moments for her brain to come back online, but: very attractive. And impressive. But also attractive. 

No kidding.

"...Wait but I thought you couldn't have a magical animal as your animagus form, how are you doing that??"

Dragonish shrug. (She wants to see if they can guess.)

Thoughtful hum. "Self transfiguration from a similar base, possibly? Though combining that seamlessly with the Animagus transformation... As I said. Impressive."

"No kidding."

Back to human shape for talking.

"Yeah, Lily's pretty much got it. My actual animagus form is a raptor, dinosaur. But I met a dragon who thought I was a baby who hadn't grown into her wings yet, so I decided to figure out how to do that."

"You can talk to dragons?"

"Turns out they speak Parseltongue."

"Nice." She has further dragon questions!! (Dragons are very cool.)

Ellie has further dragon answers! Dragons are very cool!

Can she breathe fire? Ooh, is she strong enough to take them for a flight?

Yes and yes.

- !!!

So that's a yes to flying?

Yes!!

They won't be able to communicate easily, unless Lily or James has a talent for legilimency.

Lily does. 

Oh, good. It'll be easier to establish a connection before she shifts. Ellie can let her through her Occlumency barriers if she knocks politely.

She can do that!

"Though, uh, I wouldn't recommend trying to reach all the way back to me - I'm a natural Occlumens and apparently vaguely terrifying?"

"Noted."

"I've got a lot of practice at legilimency, though." Mostly on James. 

"She has a lot of fun with it."

"Almost as much as you do."

Giggle!
