I know I should be updating my other stories, but after a reading a sad author's note timeturneruser's best friend wrote, I felt the need to adopt this story. And I've already finished it (cause I was sick and bored O_o)
So yeah, I adopted this story from timeturneruser and on his account it is under the same name. timeturneruser won't be publishing or updating his stories for quite a long time, as recently he tried to commit suicide and is now in a Psychiatric ward recovering. Please keep timturneruser in your thoughts as he recovers.
Title: Was that Supposed to Happen?
Authors: Jappa (Me) and timeturneruser (adopted from (Author ID: 2038284)
Summary: What happens when Harry finds his familiar in the Hungary Horntail's hatchling during the 1st task? His mind is opened up to a new world of lies, manipulation and who is truly the evil one.
Warnings: Manipulative!Dumbledore, rebellious!Good(ish)!Harry, good!Tom Riddle, revenge, slight abuse, manipulation, light blood/gore, this story is a bit like Eragon,
The first chapter is based on timeturneruser's story, I have changed it a bit to suit what I am going to do. This story is going to be short – 3-5 chapters maybe.
There might be a pairing… we'll see what happens while I rewrite the first chapter… which means you'll know by next chapter.
This story is dedicated to timeturneruser who I wish has a good recovery to become the man he wants to be.
"Paseltongue", "Elvin" (Everything in Elvin is made up)
Was this Supposed to Happen?
Part 1:
Harry paced around the tent nervous. But why wouldn't he be? He was about to go out and face the ruthless Hungary Horntail for a Golden Egg in Tournament he didn't even want to be a part of.
Suddenly the cannon went off and it was Harry's turn to face the dragon.
His breath was shaky as he stepped out of the tent and into the stadium. The people in the stands screamed out his name, cheering for him.
So far the dragon hadn't spotted him, but he knew that wasn't going to be for long.
Slowly he walked towards the dragon, his wand out and ready and his eyes darting around.
The dragon roared and Harry ducked behind a rock as flames started coming for him.
Everything went by in a blur. Harry didn't even remember when he called upon the Firebolt or when the dragon (now identified as a female) managed to get free of her chains and was flying after Harry out of the stadium and through the grounds of Hogwarts.
Harry came across a bridge and ducked through one of the small gaps, the dragon following, breaking the bridge and getting caught in the rubble.
Harry was about to fly off but stopped when he heard the pained cry the dragon let out. Feeling sorry for the dragon, he flew back down to it and started to remove the rubble of its wings.
Soon the rubble was removed off one wing and as Harry passed her face to get to the other, he rubbed her snout and, without realising it, apologised to her in Parseltongue.
"I am sorry about this… they forced me to compete and also made you protect an egg that is fake. This isn't right… and the fact that another dragon lost her real eggs because of this tournament is also upsetting… I really am sorry."
It was at this moment that Harry was happy there wasn't a time-limit, though right now, Harry didn't care if he came last or was disqualified! All that matter at the moment was helping the dragon.
The dragon suddenly roared and Harry's eyes widened as he understood what it said.
"It seems like we are both pawns in this tournament… or in the world in general." She said and Harry's eyes widened as memories were bought forwards of when he fought against Quirrell and the basilisk. The Horntail was right though… they both were pawns in the world… the dragon was used for its fire and for potion ingredients and Harry was being used to destroy the Dark Lord.
Smiling at the dragon, he kept removing the rubble until he looked over her and realised her wing was broken.
"You poor girl," he whispered as he placed his hand onto her wing. He knew it would probably be a long shot, but he wanted to see if he could heal her wing with the intent to heal (like what Prof. McGonagall taught them 'Magic is about intent. For instance the Cruciatious Curse. If this spell is aimed at someone will the intent to harm them, it will harm them and cause them great pain. But, if the spell is aimed at someone with the intent to make them feel pleasure, then it is pleasure they will feel, intense pleasure…'.). He hoped it worked without his wand, but if it didn't, he would use his wand.
His eyes widened as his hands glowed an emerald green and the bones started to crack, making the dragon cry out, before the bones started to heal and the wing was back to normal.
"It worked," Harry whispered in awe, having trouble believing in the fact that he just did wand-less magic, and powerful wand-less magic too.
"Thank you… " the dragon whispered.
Harry gave it a smile before he grabbed his broom, about to get onto it and fly back to the stadium, but the Horntail kneeled down in front of Harry and lowered her head.
"Sit on my back, I'll fly you back to the others where you can get the fake egg." She said.
Harry carefully climbed onto her back, Firebolt in hand and they flew back to the stadium.
People cries out in shock as the Dragon landed and Harry jumped off his back. Walking over to the nest, he grabbed the Golden Egg, shrunk it and placed it in his pocket. He was about to walk back to the tent when he noticed one of the Horntail's other eggs jolt a little bit.
Crouching down, Harry placed his hand near the egg, waiting baited for what was about to happen. Behind him, the Horntail sat down and placed her head near the nest watching as the egg cracked and a head poked out of the hole.
Suddenly, the egg crack down the middle and the baby Hungary Horntail jumped into Harry's hands.
Harry winced as his head throbbed and his hand burned. Suddenly, he felt power rushing through his body as his head started to burn. He felt the presence of another in his mind and an evil presence being pushed out of his mind. All throughout his body he felt like bonds were shattering and the power he felt started to grow and grow.
Then it all stopped.
Harry opened his eyes and found himself looking into identical emerald green eyes of the baby dragon.
"Food," Echoed through his mind as the baby jumped down and started sniffing his pockets.
Harry then noticed a mark on his hand. It was emerald green and looked strangely like a dragon's eye.
Suddenly everything clicked. The word food echoing through his mind and the mark were all connected to the dragon that had just sneezed, rolled over because of the force of the sneeze and caught his robe on fire. Harry laughed at how cute the dragon looked.
… Wait… his robe was on fire.
"SHIT!" Harry swore as he pulled out his wand and put out the fire. Looking over at the dragon, who was upside and had the grace to look embarrassed.
"She is yours now." The older dragon said. "You are her Master, and she is your Dragon. Treat her well Dragon Rider." The Mother Dragon explained just as the Dragon handler's came running towards them, Charlie in the lead. Harry frowned in confusion at the dragon's words.
They went to take the dragons away, but the younger hatchling snapped at them and curled up in Harry's lap. That was when Charlie noticed the mark on Harry's hand.
His eyes widened and he froze. "You're a dragon rider," he whispered.
The other Dragon Handler's froze as well. Except for one, who smiled at Harry.
"The youngling will be fine, but you must take good care of her. Good luck, Dragon Rider." He said before turning to the Mother Horntail. "We must go now, your family awaits you in Romania." The rider said to her.
Nodding, the Horntail followed the Dragon Handler's towards the cages. She stopped before she was in the cage and turned to Harry.
"Thank you again for healing me."
Harry smiled to her. "It was my pleasure. Also, I know you will miss your hatchling, so I'll take her to visit you sometime."
The Dragon gave Harry a strange dragon like smile. "Thank you… but don't forget, Rider, to find the right path and forgive those who have been manipulated. Because what you are told isn't always right and at the moment, not everything is at it seems." Before Harry had the chance to ask her what she meant, she went into the cage and laid down to nap.
It was then the points were announced but Harry ignored it in favour of watching the Hatchling which was sleeping in his lap.
He stroked the tail and tried to get his mind over the fact that he was a Dragon Rider (he didn't know much about them, so he was going to go to the library tonight) and that the Dragon handler's let him keep the hatchling.
The same Dragon Handler from before, walked over to Harry just as Dumbledore appeared.
"Harry," Dumbledore started and Harry couldn't help but role his eyes, "I know you don't want to give it up, but you must, it belongs to the Dragon Handler's."
Harry grew livid. How dare Dumbledore call the baby Dragon, 'it'! Showing Dumbledore his palm, he sneered at the headmaster.
"No, in fact, it is mine. I have to take care of it." Dumbledore looked at the mark confused.
The Dragon handler sighed. "We can't take care of the dragon, as it is Harry's familiar and Harry is also the new Dragon Rider."
The people in the stands gasped as they heard this. Harry ignored it though and winced as the Dragon awoke and cried out 'food' again, loudly.
"Dobby!" Harry called out and the house elf appeared with a pop. "Can you please get me some raw beef strips small enough for my dragon?" Harry asked Dobby.
Dobby nodded, his Blue eyes shining. "Dobby will also get some milk for Master Harry Potter's pet dragon hatchling." Dobby said and vanished. When he appeared again, he had a plate of raw beef and a bottle of warm milk.
"Thank you Dobby,"
Slowly Harry fed the Horntail the beef and she slowly drank the milk until she was asleep again.
"Harry," Dumbledore started but Harry ignored him, picked up his dragon and walked over to the Green Welsh dragon which was crying over the two eggs she had stepped on.
Harry felt sorry for her, as it could cost a dragon her life because of her depression.
He placed his dragon down and knelt down by the mess. As he scanned over them, he realised it would cost him his magic to bring them back, but he felt a tingling in his mind as Mother Nature fed him magic from different sources and helped not just bring the eggs back but bring back the dragon's as hatchlings.
He opened his eyes and found the Mother Green Welsh fussing over her two babies before turning to Harry.
"Thank you Dragon Rider," she said before turning back to her babies.
Harry smiled and stood up, picking his dragon up. He was about to go back to Hogwarts when he felt a pull toward the forest. Ignoring the cry of his friends who were running towards him he followed the pull into the forest and soon found himself in a clearing which housed the presence of three elves.
The first elf had pale skin with bright violet eyes, black stripes down her cheeks and long wavy black hair. Her ears were pointed and part of her hair was pulled back into a small braid with a purple piece of cloth. She was wearing a purple and black dress with a silver robe over the top, she was also shoeless.
To her left was a male elf whom also had pale skin. His eyes were silver and red and his hair was long, straight and white. He had a red swirl on his forehead and he was wearing white and silver clothing consisting of a white robe and a silver robe over the top. On his waist also sat a silver sword with a ruby on its hilt and Elvin words engraved on its hilt.
The other elf was also female. She had deep black eyes, short spiky coal black hair, two black earrings at the tips of her pointed ears and two black spikes running down her cheeks from her eyes. She was wearing a black dress and a silver robe over that. She, like the male, also had a sword attached to her hip. The only difference was her hilt had obsidian instead of a ruby.
"You have done well Leysa (Youngling)." The purple eyed elf said. "We are proud of you." Her voice was soft but powerful and Harry couldn't help but feel like he would do anything for her.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
She smiled. "My name is Aurora (Precious); I am the Queen of the Elvin land. This is Haylen (Brave-One)," she said as she pointed to the male, "And this is Veya (White-One)," She explained. "I have been looking over you for a while, Leysa and I would like to bless you with this gift."
She walked up to him and held his face in her hands. Her mouth opened and she started chanting in Elvin.
"Nomara dex Jayez vische ne sya Leysa bey swireh du bey Elvin si naya je jos qet pax ka dea hwe cu bey teta nov Gessa." (Mother of Nature please give this Youngling the power of the Elvin so that he can use it to save us from the clutches of evil.)
Harry felt ancient magic was over his body and felt like his body was warping and changing. Soon the magic soaked into his body and he felt it fuse with his core.
Aurora stepped back and smiled, showing her slightly pointed canine teeth. She pulled out a mirror and handed it to Harry.
Everything was blurry, so Harry took his glasses off and looked in the mirror. He nearly dropped the mirror in surprise. His face was now pale and he had emerald green eyes running up his neck and over his cheek. His eyes were a brighter emerald green ad his hair was longer, now down to his back, and was also midnight black. What shocked him the most though, was the two pointed Elvin ears the poked out of his hair and the slightly pointed canine teeth he had.
Looking up at Aurora he smiled. "Herya thi (Thank you)." He said before his eyes widened as he spoke the Elvin language.
"Thi oya faya, Leysa. (You are welcome, Youngling.)" The queen replied before she picked up his hand and pressed a package into it.
"This is for you. You can use it anytime to contact me and you can also use it to visit us." Aurora then stepped back in line with Veya and Haylen who grabbed her arms. Before the disappeared Aurora gave him a piercing look.
"Leysa, A new prophecy has been made and it is your duty to fulfil it.
Manipulated by White,
Accepted by Black,
Loved by Red.
He will become ones nightmare,
ones defender,
and ones lover.
And with the help of the unexpected
He will concur the real evil
and save us."
The final words faded with the wind as Aurora, Veya and Haylen disappeared leaving Harry shocked, confused and… happy?
Looking down at his dragon; who was now running around the clearing trying to fly.
Knowing he had a lot to think over, Harry placed a glamour over himself, put the mirror and package in his pocket with the egg, and picked up his dragon, walking back to the castle.
When he arrived, he found Dumbledore waiting for him.
"Harry my boy, where have you been?" Dumbledore asked.
Harry had to hold back a glare. I am not "your boy".
Shrugging, Harry shifted the dragon in his arm, as his arms were starting to feel numb.
"I went for a walk while I thought everything over."
Dumbledore nodded. "Look, Harry, I can't let you keep that creature inside." He said.
Harry saw red. "Fine then, I will have to stay outside with it then." He turned to leave but Dumbledore stopped him.
"Harry, I'm sorry, but school rules state that you have to be inside, for safety. So you can't go outside, and it will have to be by itself." Dumbledore said.
Harry growled. "NO! YOU WANT IT TO DIE! IT CAN'T LIVE OUTSIDE! I CAN'T PROTECT IT OUTSIDE. SCHOOL RULES ALSO STATE THAT I MAY KEEP A FAMILIAR IN THE CASTLE AND THAT IS WHAT SHE IS." He yelled.
Dumbledore was taken aback. He didn't expect Harry to now the school rules.
McGonagall, who had come running down earlier to see what the commotion was, continued watching wide eyed from the shadows.
"I am sorry that may be true, but it is a danger and I must protect the school." Dumbledore went to grab the young dragon but Harry stepped back and sent the headmaster a glare that was worse than Snape's on one of his bad days.
"Touch my dragon and I will hurt you worse than you can ever imagine. This is your only warning."
Dumbledore was not going to be scared by a kid. He pulled out his wand and was uttering a curse. Harry moved fast and blasted the headmaster back with fire and he ran and picked him up by his robes. Throwing the headmaster against the wall, he held him there will a spell and yelled.
"DON'T EVER TOUCH ME OR TRY TO CURSE ME AGAIN OR YOU WILL DIE NEXT TIME."
Harry let him slide down the wall as McGonagall, who had stepped out of the shadows, helped him up. "Albus what is your problem with Harry and his familiar?" she asked.
He pushed her aside and fired off multiple curses aimed at Harry's back (McGonagall was sure some of them were Avada Kedavra green). Harry quickly moved out of the way, set his dragon down (who was watching everything with wide eyes and occasionally growling at Dumbledore) and ran at the headmaster, dodging all the spells fired at him until he knocked him back with another blast of fire.
McGonagall slowly moved over to the headmaster who wasn't moving and was covered in black and smelt burnt. After doing a quick scan, she noticed that Dumbledore was alive, his wand was ruined and there was definitely something going on with him.
After sending a Patronis of to get Madame Pomfrey, McGonagall turned around to see Harry sitting on the stairs, rubbing the stomach of his dragon, who was almost asleep again.
Pomfrey sent the Headmaster to the infirmary as McGonagall turned to Harry. "I'm sorry about the headmaster's actions. I don't know what has gotten into him lately. But you aren't in trouble for what you did. I was self defence." She said with a sigh. "If only it didn't have to come down to that."
Harry shrugged. "Did you notice that Fawkes didn't show up both times I burnt him. It is a known thing that phoenix's don't show up to protect their master if they don't deem them good or they fought and broke a false bond." Harry sighed.
McGonagall shook her head. "That thought had entered my mind. But at the moment, I don't know what to think. And I am honestly beginning to wonder what he is up to."
She sat down next to Harry and for once let her guard down. Harry smiled sadly as he watched his professor's weary face.
Suddenly, his eyes widened. He realised what the Prophecy mean and what the dragon was talking about.
"Professor, we need to bind Dumbledore immediately." He said as he stood up.
McGonagall blinked. "Whatever do you mean?" she asked confused.
"Dumbledore isn't who we think he is. I don't think he is the 'Light's Leader'. In fact, I think he has planned this all out! Me, Voldemort even Grindelwald!"
McGonagall just stared at Harry. "Pardon?" she asked.
Harry started pacing, his dragon staring up at him confused from the stairs. "What if, just what if Dumbledore is the real reason Grindelwald went evil and Voldemort is trying to take over the world? What if Dumbledore has manipulated them into his own little game where he is the good guy who defeated the bad guy, when in fact he is the bad guy?"
Everything clicked in McGonagall's mind and she shot up. The explained everything. The strange books on darks ritual's ranging from mind manipulation to demon's taking over innocent people's bodies. (Not that Dumbledore knew she had seen them, she had just assumed he was researching about things that Voldemort might do).
"We need to bind him now." McGonagall said and soon they were both running down towards the infirmary, a confused dragon chasing after them.
As soon as they arrived, they found Dumbledore being treated in a private room by Pomfrey.
"Stop!" McGonagall yelled. "Don't heal him, out him into a magical induced coma and help us bind him!"
Confused, Pomfrey did as asked and put him into a coma before turning a glare onto the two Gryffindor's. "You better have reason for this."
Harry proceeded to tell Pomfrey of his epiphany as he helped McGonagall place multiple ward around the room and bind the headmaster to his bed.
Pomfrey blinked in shock before sitting down in the chair next to Dumbledore's bed.
"… Okay…" she whispered before turning around and casting a spell on the headmaster. "This spell will block his magic. It is often used during operations, so us Healer's have to learn it." She explained.
Harry nodded and sighed. "I better go to the tower. Later tonight, after dinner should we meet up and discuss everything?" he asked as he picked up his dragon again.
McGonagall and Pomfrey nodded before heading off in their own directions. Harry headed off to the tower and when he arrived, he was pulled into a bone crushing hug by Hermione.
"Don't you ever do that again!" she growled. "You scared the crap out of me!"
Harry blinked as well as the others. Hermione never swore!
"What? Can't I let loose sometimes?" she asked rolling her eyes. Harry laughed before pulling out the egg.
"Come on!" Fred and George yelled. "Open it!"
Harry handed his dragon to a shocked Hermione and opened it.
Only to cringe as a high pitched squealing was heard. Harry quickly shut it and placed it in his pocket.
"Okay… next task is to find out how to open the egg." He sighed. "Task 1 point 5."
After everyone got over nearly becoming deaf, they each held the dragon and played with her. Harry sighed as he watched his familiar get spoilt with affection.
"Lay off with the patting, she'll become arrogant with the way you guys are spoiling her." He joked.
Everyone laughed with him as he was handed back his dragon and slowly they headed down to the Great Hall for dinner.
They sat down and started to whisper to each other when they noticed that the headmaster wasn't at the table. McGonagall then stood up and everyone fell silent.
"Due to an incident after the first task today, Professor Dumbledore has had to step down as Headmaster for the time being, and I will be taking over until further notice." She explained.
Chatter broke out throughout the school and even Durmstrang and Beuxbaton's started talking in shock. The talking stopped as the food appeared and Harry's dragon started prowling around the tables, jumping up and pinching food from wherever making students cry out in shock or laugh.
Harry watched his familiar and sighed. I really need to get a name for her…
Dinner soon finished and after telling Ron and Hermione that he's got something he needed to do, he headed up to the teacher's table to McGonagall.
"Um… Professor… can I please talk to you and Madame Pomfrey… um… alone?" he asked pretending he had something urgent to tell them.
Nodding, Madame Pomfrey and McGonagall lead Harry to the Headmaster's office, where they could talk about their findings.
Okay, that is the first chapter. I'm Pretty please with it and it would be great if you could tell me what you think!
Not everything timeturneruser wrote is in this chapter, some of it will be covered in later chapters as I go into more detail.
Next chapter: They go through Dumbledore's office and uncover things worse them what they had thought. Harry goes away for a week to visit a previous Dark Lord and the ministry also get involved.
Also, I've decided that Harry is going to be pair with someone, but I can't choose who, so I want you guys to choose.
Either:
A) Bellatrix Black (never married Lestrange)
B) Tom Riddle
C) Pansy Parkinson (I've always wanted to try this pairing)
D) A Malfoy
a. Lucius
b. Draco
c. Abraxas (choose him and I'll add some sort of time travel twist into the story, probably to do with the elves)
E) Severus Snape
or
F) Luna Lovegood (gotta love Luna :P)
Thanks, Jaedon.
