...sigh... Ngandan has it:
Mi'oi'tiem odayl'e fiqinu'as lom shiray'rasen'a
In-no-times proper-(SUBJ) Tickle-(INFIN) (Lit: To give a little
kiss/caress) a dragon-sleeping-(IND).
Sadly, I have been translating Harry Potter into my conlang.
Horrors. BTW, "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone" translates
as:
Arhi Qiln'adi ei lon Lithen Fusg'u
Fated (Harry) Clay-(GENDER - person) and the Stone Marvelous-(ADJ. MARKER)
