Harry sat with his friends in the Great Hall in his fourth year, and thinking about the events that had happened at the Quidditch World Cup. He was waiting for the first years to come inside, while listening to the bickering of Ron and Hermione. Suddenly the doors went up and Professor Mcgonnogal with the first years in tow entered and sat the Sorting Hat on a stool. It opened its mouth up and began its song:
For many years I have watched and guided
And sorted and listened
But never before has a great legend come to pass
For a dark foe shall emerge once more
And reign terror upon all
But in this dark a light shall shine
Beware all who follow the dark
For the one who is honour bound
To keep evil forever at bay
Has come into power
And he shall be recognized by his kin
For a king he is to command them all
His voice will rival the power of the sun
Beware followers of the dark
Beware evil, beware you who are corrupt
For the Dragornborn has come
Beware his might
He is the bane of evil
Follow him to peace
The song ended to deafening silence. Harry glanced up to the teachers table and saw Dumbledores face was pale as snow. Mcgonnogal seemed to be the first to come out of the confusion and cleared her throat and begun the sorting.
Harry was angry. This year something terrible happened to him that he couldn't control. His name had come out of the Goblet of Fire, alongside with Cedric, Fleur and Krum, and almost the whole school thought he had cheated his way in the tournament. But what hurt the most was that even Ron and Hermione didn't believe him. The only person to seemingly believe him was Neville, but he didn't defend him in public, only in private, because Neville was afraid. He had said as much. Then to his astonishment Hedwig landed in front of him during breakfast and presented her foot to him to give him a letter. Harry took the letter and gave her a piece of bacon to eat.
Harry
You don't know me, but I don't believe for a second that you submitted your name in the tournament. Why you ask? Well, because I think that you have had enough of attention during your life. The times I have seen you in class I have found out that you actually are humble and don't want to have too much attention on you self. And I know things seem dark now, but you should know that you have an ally, even if most have deserted you. I'll try to help as much as I can, but people in my house would frown upon me if the saw me socializing with a Gryffindor, since I'm a Slytherin. But I'll try as much as possible to help, to become your friend and hopefully something more. I await your answer
Your ally and secret admirer
Harry glanced around towards the Slytherin table and looked upon the people there. No one seemed to acknowledge that they had sent him a letter, but he knew not everyone was eating breakfast. He got up and prepared him for today's classes, Care of Magical Creatures first.
After the first class Harry prepared to leave when Hagrid asked him to stay behind. "It's a shame your name came up. I know that you didn't put your name in the goblet" Hagrid said. "But I'll try to help you Harry, come down to me after dinner and I'll show you something". Harry muttered "thanks" and went off to his next classes.
Harry sat alone at the Gryffindor table, as he usually did nowadays. People around him talked in hushed tones and sent glances towards him, no doubt gossiping about him, as the always did. He finished his meal and made his way towards Hagrids hut to see what he wanted. "There you are Harry. Just follow me into the Forbidden Forest and I'll show you something" Hagrid said. They walked in silence for a while and Harry started hearing roars and screaming of men in a clearing before him and when he got closer he couldn't say a word less breathe. "Aren't they beautiful" Hagrid exclaimed. In front of him stood four big dragons. Finding his words Harry almost shouted: "Dragons! They want us to fight dragons in the first task?" and when he said that, as one the four dragons turned around and looked Harry straight in the eye. "I think be better leave Harry, they seem fixed on you" Hagrid said concerned, and just as they were to leave the four dragons as one bowed their heads towards Harry.
The day had come. The first task. Harry stood in the champons tent and awaited for his turn. Krum was fighting his dragon and Harry was next, or last depended on how you looked at it. The crowd roared and Bagman announced: "And Krum succeeds in his task. And now for our last champion, Harry Potter!" The crowd went almost complete silent with a few polite clapping. Harry steeled himself and entered the arena ready to face the Hungarian Horntail. He entered the ring and looked around him and saw hateful looks from almost everyone in the ring except for Hagrid, Dumbledore, Mcgonnogal and a Slytherin, but he didn't recognize her. "You won't survive this Potter" Malfoy spat. Harry moved closer in the arena and saw the dragon, and the dragon looked Harry straight in the eye. People started screaming that he wouldn't make it, or that he cheated and called him different things. "Dovahkiin?" Harry heard and the crowd went completely silent, meaning they had also heard it. "Come closer dovahkiin, I will not hurt you brother". Harry looked shocked and managed to say: "You can speak?" "Of course I can speak brother, just because two-legs don't think so, doesn't mean we can speak. Two-legs think too highly of themselves and their logic", the dragon said. Harry moved closer: " Why do you call me dovahkiin?". "For that is who you are. You are our kin, but more importantly, our king", the dragon said and bowed his head towards Harry. "Let it be known, that we dovah recognize this dovahkiin, and all will tremble, for we follow only his command" the dragon roared and bellowed fire straight to the air. People started screaming and everyone could hear more roars as the other three dragons managed to get loose from their cages and flied in the arena and surrounded Harry. Dumbledore started screaming: "Get him out of there, send in the dragon keepers!" and people started screaming for the thought that Harry would be killed. "We do not intend to hurt our brother two-legs. You think of us as mindless beasts, but we haven't had a dovahkiin in many years to lead us. No, we will protect him and follow him to war" the four dragons roared and spewed fire straight to the air. As people started to faint. And suddenly the four dragons started to chant:
"Dovahkiin, dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin
Wah dien vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal
Ahrk fin norok paal graan
Fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu dral!"
