How to Annoy Draco

1. Insist on pronouncing his name 'DRACK-o'. If he corrects your pronunciation, just reply, "oh." Continue calling him Dracko.

2. Try and get him to hold a fireball in his mouth while you toast a marshmallow so you can make s'mores. If he asks why you can't just make a fire, glance around in mock paranoia and whisper, "Because, it would alert the enemy. . ."

3. Tell him that Kara really thinks he sings through his nose.

4. Sit on his back and scream that you are his Rider. Watch his reaction.

5. Pester him until he tells you his real name, then proceed to mispronounce it.

6. Ask him if he's ticklish. Whether his answer is yes or no, chase him around with a large feather for the rest of the week.

7. When he's asleep, impale two or three marshmallows on each of his horns.

8. Or paint a black moustache and glasses on his face

9. Repeatedly ask what it feels like to share a heart with an evil tyrant.

10. See if you can get him to unhinge his jaw. If he does, climb into his mouth and refuse to budge. For the whole day.

11. Speak absolute gibberish. When he asks what you're saying, insist that you are speaking Draconic and that he must not be a real Dragon because he can't understand it.

12. Wake up one morning and peer at him strangely every time you see him for the entire day, muttering all the while: "You don't look like Shruikan. . ."

13. Ask him nicely if you can borrow some of his teeth because you want to make a shield like Bowen's

14. When he goes into his cave, sneak up to the top of the waterfall. Wait until he emerges again then dump a bucket of dead fish on his head.

15. Poke him with Bowen's sword then proclaim loudly that you have "slain the Dragon!", and therefore saved the kingdom.

16. Refer to him as 'the big lizard' whenever he is in earshot.

17. Hang on his tail all day long.

18. Ask him how he liked being called 'Meat. Meat? Meat!'

19. Sit on one of his forepaws and enjoy it more than anyone should be allowed to when he walks.

20. Write 'I will not wake the Dragon' one hundred times. On him.
