The first thing that he felt is stuffy; anger welled up in his heart at the cramped conditions. He is the most powerful thing that ever lived, all this stuffiness is unbefitting of him. He wriggled his body, the heat of it giving him strength and warm as he pushed with all his might to break free of this stuffiness. He wanted to be free and the blow to his pride that this thing is constricting with his movements didn't sit well with him the least. He struggled even more and pushed with all his might.
On the dark caverns on the abandoned mountains of Valyria where men no longer walk the silence is pervading with very few animals, mostly mountain goats and many more small mammals that lived there nowadays ever since the Doom. However today would be a historic day for a species that made the Valyrians the powerful people they are before the tragedy that claimed their kingdom.
At the darkest cave where even the Valyrians dare not enter for it is sacred to them and to their mounts, the sound of an eggshell cracking are heard beside the corpse of a large decomposing gold dragon, as large as a small mountain the corpse is and nobody, not even the Valyrians knew its name for they are not old enough to name it before it died. Beside it a golden egg that had lain dormant for centuries hatched and out flopped a tiny golden blob stumbling ungracefully on the floor, gazing at the world around it in amber eyes of knowledge.
For a youngling such as this, normally instinct would drive it to devour the carcass to fill its hungry belly after the efforts on pushing its way out from its egg. However this youngling isn't like any normal youngling. For within the dragon's body is a human soul morphed into that of the apex predator.
In his previous life he had been known as Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived. He had been killed during the Final Battle at Hogwarts against Moldyshorts and his merry band of "I hate Death Propaganda". Frankly for him, it's not even an epic death. Funny how the course of history could be ended with a loose stone falling from the ceiling and cracking open the head of Mr. Potter.
Of course he's very unaware that together with him is two of the Deathly Hallows at that time. And it's just an accident that Death who is feeling miffed by that time once more for his sacred artifacts being collected chose to make an example of Mr. Potter.
Instead of finally letting his soul be at rest after its long struggle, the manager of souls kicked the bucket over the soul of the Boy-Who-Lived and fused it with the soul of an animal that is the exact opposite of it, prideful, loved mayhem and conflict, laziness and mostly arrogance; a slap on the face for the Boy-Who-Lived who would sooner saw his own arm than entertain the values and morals such as these before kicking him randomly to one of the worlds he is watching over. Frankly he ended up here.
The result is the golden blob now faced with the indecision whether to eat the desilicated corpse of its kin. The human in him is screaming that it is bad to eat someone of his own species. However the dragon in him are screeching in hunger and isn't exactly picky before it managed to fly on his own as his instincts yell. Morals and Hunger fought with each other…..Hunger won in a landslide.
Hating himself for doing it, the small golden blob hopped on to the side of the massive carcass that had died of old age and began taking nibbles on it, its small mouth barely making a large enough wound to be seen on the humongous body. Of course as he ate his mind wandered.
Don't be fooled, despite relying on their instincts greatly, dragons are intelligent creatures that mustn't be messed with. Add the soul of Harry Potter on it and you mostly had an almost sapient creature that can learn. He's not a complete dragon per say but he's also not Harry Potter. He is someone new who is caught in between and probably a good thing too if he wanted to survive on this world.
Of course he remembered memories, however to him right now they're more like annoying visions flashing in his eyes instead of ones that elicited an action for him. Most of them make no sense to him, names, words, faces, spells. Good thing that the power of magic he still felt coursing through his blood. The human side of him embraced it while his dragon side reveled on it. Dragons are magical creatures, the more powerful the magic, the stronger and faster they are.
A year and a half later
On the abandoned ruins of Valyria, a shadow could be seen flying on the night. The ones small welp the size of a man's shoe is not so small anymore with his size now that of a galleon ship as he flew over the skies where his kind once flew in freedom. He had finally left the bones of the old dragon corpse which sustained him to honor his sacrifice even death that nourished him until he is old enough and large enough to escape the confines of the cave and take to the skies.
Brilliant amber eyes with streaks of green wandered everywhere as he took in the destruction of the Dragonlords of Valyria as they called themselves that he had read on one of the tomes that are left from the carnage on one of the houses. Yes, he can read (with great effort though, mostly involved a lot of squinting).
He mentally scoffed at the arrogance of these people, feeling both annoyed and pissed with his fury still mounting. They are the rulers of the sky, the apex predator. How dare these insects call themselves Dragonlords?! Thankfully they are now gone else he would have burned them to ashes or simply played with them with the Words of Power that unleashed his magic for such insult to his kind.
Part of him wanted to go out to the world and find others, other dragons like him. However he kept his peace. But something tells him both the human side of him and the draconic one that his time is not yet come and he would need to grow more in strength and stature before he helps on lifting his kind from the ashes of the sand once more.
