how do dragons fly? (Spoilers all books to end DH)

[redchild]

What made you change your mind?

I meant giveing up trying to0 convince you. I still feel it would be impossible for them to fly without assistance. But I also feel it would be impossible to convince you.

Nobody has disproven your theory.

Who says that the RotE has the same gravity as 'our' earth? Don't assume that, because something is impossible here, the same thing is impossible in a different environment.

RotE gravity doesn't seem all that different than Earth gravity. Anyhow, anything can defy gravity, if only temporarily (if you jump in the air, aren't you defying gravity?) It seems dragons can defy it much longer with magic and big wings.

Now that I think of it, do dragons require a powerful leap or running start before gaining enough speed and lift to fly? Or can they somehow lift off by only flapping their wings and some sort of magical aid?
