Draco trudged towards the school gates, his scales glimmering in the sunlight. His wings drooped slightly as he thought about the long day ahead. The other young dragons chattered excitedly, but Draco couldn't shake the feeling of dread that clung to him like a shadow. Ms. Ember, a wise and stern dragoness with scales the color of burning coals, awaited her students in the classroom. Her sharp eyes scanned the room, missing nothing. "Good morning, class," she announced, her voice firm yet warm. Draco sighed, settling onto his rocky perch.

Draco eagerly joined the game, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He had watched the older dragons play countless times and thought he knew the rules by heart. As the game progressed, he made a bold move, misjudging the play entirely. The laughter of his classmates echoed around him, a cacophony of mockery. Draco felt his cheeks burn with embarrassment. The head Dragon Master, a formidable figure with shimmering silver scales, approached with a stern expression. "Draco, sit out for now," he commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Draco's frustration boiled over, and in a moment of recklessness, he snorted a burst of fire. The flames danced dangerously close to Ms. Ember, who remained unflinching. "Draco, that behavior is unacceptable," she said sharply, her eyes filled with disappointment. The weight of his actions crashed over him like a tidal wave. The Bzord, a glowing emblem of disgrace, was placed on his desk. "Three of these, and you will be banned from the kingdom," The head Dragon Master warned gravely.

Draco sat in a secluded corner, staring at the Bzord with tears in his eyes. Ms. Ember approached quietly, her demeanor softer than before. "Draco, do you know why reading is important?" she asked gently. Draco shook his head, his voice barely a whisper. "No, I just find it hard." "Reading opens worlds, it helps us understand and communicate," Ms. Ember explained, placing a book in his claws.

Draco discovered stories of dragons who overcame challenges, just like him. With each page, his heart lightened, and a sense of calm washed over him. "I want to learn more," he admitted, a spark of determination in his eyes. Ms. Ember smiled, her expression one of pride.

Draco joined his classmates, a newfound confidence in his stride. He approached the Rathon game, ready to try again. The laughter that once stung now felt like a challenge he was willing to face. "Draco, would you like to play?" a fellow dragon asked, offering a friendly smile. "Yes, and this time, I'll get it right," Draco replied, his voice steady and filled with hope.
