Harry Potter and the Dragon of Magic
Prologue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Voor had reason to be afraid, for at that very moment, behind the waterfall in a large cave, sat a gigantic golden dragon. She sat watching the Voor, biding her time as the water and mist covers most of her scent. She was planning the attack, knowing she needed her strength for the long journey ahead. The dragon slowly stood up keeping both amber eyes on the stag standing on the boulder in front of the cave. Suddenly, the stag caught a flash of gold through the mist of the water, it threw back its head, and it's throat quivering as it emitted a long, low bellow.
The dragon let out a thundering roar and hurtled out of the cave and through the waterfall. She landed on the back of the lead Voor, cutting off its bellow and snapping its neck in one swift movement. By then the other Voor had come out of their stupor and were galloping in the other direction. The dragon, in a flash of gold, launched off the boulder and pumped her wings in rapid motion. She flew swiftly through the air, no longer caring if she made any sounds, following the herd. Catching sight of a straggler with a lame hoof, she flew faster. As she caught up with the straggler, she came down hard on its back, breaking it with a resounding crack.
The gold beast ate the Voor quickly, not wanting to dawdle any longer. Finishing with that Voor, she flew back to the stag at the pool and swiftly ate that one too. The dragon dipped her muzzle into the pool, washing the blood off it, then submerged her talons. With that done she dived back through the waterfall and into the large cave. She folded her leathery wings to her sides and walked to the back of the cave, which opened into a giant cavern. She stared mournfully at a nest, big enough to hold a fair sized house, made of large branches and fur from her kills. There, in the center of the nest, lay five eggs, each about the size of a small car.
The golden dragon swiveled her head to rest in between all of the eggs and sighed. She closed her eyes, but soon opened them again and lifted her head out of the nest. Nothing can save them now. The dragon thought to herself. She turned her back on the eggs and walked back to the mouth of the cave. She thrust her head out through the water and looked up into the sun, which was blistering hot, pulsing in the azure sky. Soon, there will be nothing left to save.
Suddenly, the dragon launched out of the cave, not wishing to stay any longer, and glided through the valley of the canyon before flying up toward the rim. She grabbed hold of the rim, her wings keeping her balanced as she looked back once more to the beautiful land below her, then just as suddenly, she pushed herself off the rim and hovered a moment before disappearing into mid-air.
Cold rushed over her body as she used magic to fly through space. Total blackness covered her, until she slowed down, the magic stopping her close to the planet called Earth. As she entered the atmosphere, the dragon looked down, gazing at the green and brown land, the rough mountains, the crystal blue oceans, the white arctic and Antarctic, and finally, at the metallic sheen of modern cities.
The dragon flew down, to a small island continent, somewhere in the ocean off the side. She flew quickly, not wanting to be seen and landed on a huge rock, then looked up into the sky. She grinned, pleased to see a normal sized sun shining down upon her. Suddenly, she sighed and muttered to herself. "Time to start a new life," she sighed and mentally, using magic, set a time for 15 years and 9 months. Until then, she would remember nothing, she sighed, then closed her eyes, concentrated, and disappeared.
9 months later, a baby was born.
