Story Notes: This story is one of my firsts and so it is slightly silly. My best advice would be to completely suspend your beliefs and just go with the flow. You'll enjoy yourself so much more if you do.
Author's Note: Some of you may remember this story from way (way) back when. It hasn't been on in, quite literally, years. It was my first Harry Potter fan fiction, much less my first slash fan fiction, and was (sadly) deleted off the site a few years ago during the 'great purge', in which tons of author's lost all their stories. Well, it's back. I haven't changed a single line of the story, much less rewritten it, but after digging through some old files, I thought I'd dust if off and finish the damn thing! Enjoy!
Summary: Harry has one chance to save the only thing he ever wanted.

Prologue
Harry Potter had always been different. Not just because he lived most of his childhood in the cupboard under the stairs at No. 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Nor was it because his hair could be cut and then grow back to its natural shaggy length in just a few hours. Or that he had an innate talent of always ending up being at the entirely wrong place at the entirely wrong time.
No, he was far more different than that. Far more important than that.
You see, Harry Potter was and is a wizard. And not just a normal run-of-the-mill wizard that you might see strolling down Diagon Alley or one of those you might see in a low budget film wearing a cap and trying to take over the world. No, as has been said, Harry Potter was different and that didn't just apply to the muggle world you may now live in. It applied everywhere.
If there are those who don't believe this then here are a few details about our wonderful Mister Potter: at age one he defeated the dark lord Voldemort without the slightest inkling that he had. At age eleven, after receiving his acceptance letter from Hogwarts, finding out he was a wizard and finding out that Voldemort was gaining power; he helped defeat one of the Dark Lord's many minions thereby protecting the school, it's students, the staff and his friends.
At age twelve he faced Tom Riddle, Voldemort's younger self, and a voracious basilisk that almost killed, not only himself, but young Ginny Weasley, youngest sibling and only sister to Harry's best friend, Ronald Weasley.
At age thirteen, he was lead to believe that a man named Sirius Black wanted to kill him, though he found out later this was his godfather; dementors that made him go into a shock that allowed him to hear his parents being murdered by the dark lord. Though with the help of Remus Lupin, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he learned how to overcome the effects.
At age fourteen...
Well, is there a reason to go on? If you don't believe the facts now then there is very little reason to believe you will believe them later. Which in itself could be pose a problem. If you don't believe he's...unique...in some way then you will never believe the tale about to be told...
Ah well, I suppose there is nothing to be done about that. If you don't believe, I suggest you go somewhere else. Yes, yes that would be a good idea. Go somewhere else and read about some other wizard that is just normal or go watch a low budget film at the cinema.
As for the believers, relax and be prepared for the tale of Harry Potter and the Dragon He Saved.
