Harry Potter and the Return of the Dragonlords Chapter 2
June 20th, 1996
4 Private Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England
Harry and Tonks appeared in the middle of the night. "Quickly, Dumbledore would something monitoring the place. We have to get out of here. Now."
"Right you are Harry." Tonks nodded, waving her wand to return the room to its normal state. Harry used his fingers to build a Rune in the air to pack all of his things. He knew that Firnen would be asleep, and so he was quick to cast the magic that would bring him and Tonks to her. Most people would assume that Firnen was a male name, and if it was a name in the human tongue it would be, but it's actually a female name, in the dragon and elven tongues. Quickly moving around the now shrunken room he pulled Tonks to him and grabbed their things. He cast an enchantment and they were quickly taken to the Fortress Bid'Daum (Props if you can tell me where I got the name). There Harry was greeted in a manner consistent with the Arrival of a long awaited King or returning war Hero. Which he basically was. He was their leader and their protector. It was his magic which allowed them to do the things that they had done. Stepping up onto an impromptu platform, he gave a short speech. "Many of you, of the long lived beings, will recognize me. Others of you have heard of me. For more than two thousand years, you have been here. Your families have settled, and the city fortress has grown. Now, I have returned. The crops have been good these past thousands of years, the land bountiful. Riches and prosperity have ruled in my absence. Peace has reigned, and many of you are beginning to question the need to maintain your skills with the weapons of war of your ancestors. I come to tell you that those weapons will be used once again. For once we take down the Dark Lord, the corruption of the Ministry will end! I will personally using my bare hands if needs must, tear down every last brick and crack the foundations upon which the farce of a government resides! We have Independence, and there are those who seek to take it from us! NO MORE! Will the forces of Bid'Daum be hidden in the shadows as darkness takes root. No More will we allow our brethren, the Goblins, The Dwarves, the Centaurs, the Merfolk, and other creatures of magic be subjugated. NO MORE, will we allow it. From henceforth and forevermore, we celebrate today, as the beginning of change! The Beginning of freedom!" cheers rang out from the crowd as Harry and Tonks kissed. Little did they know, that everything had changed.

Hermione Granger prided herself on knowing everything. Or as much as one her age could be expected to know and then some. Which is why when she learned that Harry had disappeared with nothing more than a symbol left behind and his room cleared out, immediately after extremely powerful magic had occurred twice and then some unfamiliar spell (she hadn't meant to overhear the order, she'd just not objected to using the Extendable ear to locate Ron who coincidentally was also in the house)"
Fortunately for the young teens attempting to spy on the Order, the burrow was a lot less secure then Grimmauld Place had been. Immediately after the meeting had concluded, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins retreated to Ron's room where they then immediately came down from acting like they hadn't been listening in. After eating lunch, they all went outside where they turned to Hermione. "Okay, so they mentioned a symbol. The symbol of the Order of the Dragon Lords?"
Hermione nodded and pulled out, unsurprisingly, a book. Opening it up, she showed them a symbol. It was a spiral with a dragon roaring in the background, and emblazed upon a shield, with a sword and staff crossed and the words Semper Fidelis, semper protegentibus inscribed above and below. "This is the ancient symbol of the Dragon Lords. Unfortunately, the International Confederation restricts just about all knowledge of them. They are said to have been self-serving, and only putting themselves ahead of the others. They were said to have slain innocents and guilty alike without a fair trial and that their dragons burned people in the thousands. Which means that they did a better job than the ministry and wizards themselves did since we all know what Wizards and Witches of like to think of non-magical and those who are supportive of them. So it is entirely possible that the Dragon Lords-"
"Were hunted to extinction along with their dragons during before the Roman's ever even invaded Great Britain. Yes. It is entirely possible and it is true, Miss Granger." Professor Dumbledore came from around the corner. "If you all would like, I could tell you what I know, taught to me by the Flamels, before the ban on the information regarding them was placed." At their nod he continued. "To know the history of the Dragon Lords you must first understand the time. Pre-Roman Invasion of Britain, there was no longer any great Kingdoms of that stretched across the land. Before the Ministry was the Wizarding Council created by Merlin. Before the Wizarding Council was the Wizarding Clans under the jurisdiction of the King of the country. Before the Wizarding Clans, was the Dragon Lords, and before them was the Elves. Not House Elves, but true elves, the kind you see in your muggle fairy tales. The Elves ruled for so long that their beginning is lost to history, but we do know that before them, each species, Humans, Dwarves, Goblins and Centaurs and so forth ruled themselves. A young elf, seeking power however, forced the Kings to combine their kingdoms to prevent their total annihilation. Meeting in a terrible battle, only the King of the Elves survived, and so, he ruled the land. However in 7549 BC, the first Dragon Lord came into power. You must understand that at this time Dragons were a common menace to the people. Burning entire Kingdom's to the ground. The Elves, seeking to protect their kingdoms, assembled their warriors, and began a war with the dragons. The devastation can still be seen today in some places of Ireland and Scotland. Eventually, a young elf, by the name of Eragon, found an abandoned dragon egg. We do not know why the egg was abandoned, only that it was. When the egg hatched, Eragon raised the egg, and then traveled across the land and brought peace. To ensure that Peace would remain, the Elves and the Dragons agreed that an order must be created to maintain peace. The Elves, to appease the Humans who were threating rebellion, something they couldn't afford to deal with after Du Fryn Skulblacka, which is the name of the war in the Elven Tounge. So Humans, and Elves entered into a magical deal with the Dragons. The Lords would appease and keep the peace. Using the combined effort of the Elves magic's, they cast an enchantment that had never before been done, and would never be done again. The effort diminished them. Though Elves are immortal in terms of lifespan, they can fall to poison and things of this world just as the rest of us, though they are less likely to do so. Fewer children were born and eventually, they could no longer keep up the Empire they had created. Eragon, seeing a chance to move out of the shadows of his diminished parents, for he was a Prince, with the 13 other members of the Order, attacked and Seized parts of Ireland. The elves were unable to contain them. As the order grew, the Elves fell, until eventually, the Elven King surrender and the elves began to blend. Defeated, shamed and homeless, the elves retreated deep into the forest of the Britain, and the world-some even say they left the world. The Elven King swore that when the time was right, they would return to take that which was rightfully theirs. And so came the birth of the Order of the Dragon Lords.
"They had worn, not because of their numbers but because of the subjugation the Elves had done to all other creatures of Magic. From the lowest Goblin to the Highest Centaur, revolts spread and allowed the Dragon Lords to take over. They brought with them a peace and prosperity, not seen before or since. Humans, and creatures of magic lived side by side with Muggles all ruled by the Dragon Lords, which was ruled by a council of 50 Elders, which was ruled by 1 rider. The Dragon Lords became Immortal. Humans would eventually acquire the strength, speed, reflexes and more of the elves, and their magic was twice a potent. With thousands of year on their hands they became Warriors, and Healers, Teachers and Scholars. For 7 thousand years they ruled and not once was there a situation that they could not deal with. But it could not last. In 6th Century BC, they began to be hunted down by Wizards. Their numbers never having been extremely large, the order broke up when Eragon was killed. And as each Lord was killed, their dragons died, and often it was Vice Versa as well. Finally only one Dragon Lord remained. No one knows his name, but he was young. He seemingly did not age, even more than what he should've. His dragon was named Firnen, one of the few Dragon and Elvish names that matched. It means, "Empress of the Sky" if I'm not mistaken. He gathered an Army to him made up of the strongest of the Elves, the Smartest of the Humans, Goblins, Dwarves, and many other creatures of Magic. And together he cast a spell to hide the Fortress he had built, before disappearing with nothing more than his parting wards carved into a rock by magic. "Long have my brethren, the Lords, labored for your protection. Now you believe that we are not needed any longer. So me and mine will disappear. And when you need us most, when all hope seems lost, and those you thought dead are not, and your government fails to protect you-I will return. I will return and restore what was lost." Those words said, he and a young woman, who was a Metamorphamagus, the only none dragon lords who were known to carry a Dragon Lords Child to term and both survive instead of one or the other, disappeared into a vortex. It just so happens that where he appeared, where he left-"
"Is the Dursley's house is it not?" Hermione asked.
"Indeed Miss. Granger. It is indeed."
"Professor, I think that the Dragon Lord returned. Think about it, all hope is lost, and no one has any faith in the Government. Voldemort, the one thought dead, isn't dead. And strange magical occurring where he had disappeared from?" Dumbledore's eyes widened as he came to the same conclusion. Making his excuses he quickly left. He could only hope that she was wrong.
