A/N: ok so I will put the review question things here this time,
The Willing Pen: I sent him a PM, but I will put the jest of what I told him. the sword is a gift only in chapter 1, and only in chapter 3 does he even start to train with it, very basic ability with it, nothing more.
CunningSlytherin: I realize that he may seam powerful, but he really isn't, hes average, maybe slightly higher than average, but that's it, he is REALLY book smart tho, he has a great ability to pick up any subject and learn it with very little difficulty, the reason for this will be explained soon in a chapter, there is a reason for my madness haha, its kinda cliché, but with some twist of my own.
I will try and update as fast as I can, now, please enjoy.

Chapter 4: Adventures Of a Wizard
"I'm going to destroy that thing" harry said as Godric finished his war drum solo.
"That's the spirit my boy" Godric said, again with too much energy THAT early in the morning.
"what do you want dad? I thought I was done training with you guys." he said slowly rising.
"ah yes, your are done training, but now its time for a...practical test." he said choosing his words.
"what do you mean a 'practical test'" harry asked raising an eye brow.
"tell me harry. How fast can you run?" he asked with a grin.
"pretty fast, but your not answering my last question."
"ah, indeed I haven't. Have you ever seen a dragon?" he asked with his grin growing wider.
"no, but ive always wanted too." harry replied.
"great answer harry, now lets go." Godric said pulling him along "make sure you bring your wand and sword, you may need them."
"what are you planning dad?"
"well, I have heard that a dragon sleeps a good distance from the castle, but more than that, ive heard that he guards untold amounts of gold, we are going to take it." Godric said, somehow having an even wider grin.
"do we have too?"
"think of it as a late birthday present, and yes we have too, that gold could help the future of Hogwarts survive, now lets go test our courage." Godric said walking to the door.
"if you say so dad." harry replied lazily
Ten minutes later, they were walking into the Forbidden Forrest.
"Remember harry, there are many dark creatures in the Forrest, so keep your guard up and be ready for anything." Godric said as he suddenly turned around and smacked harry on the head with a stick.
"OW! Dad why did you hit me?" harry asked rubbing his head.
"i told you to keep your guard up, you didn't, that's why your rubbing your head." he said while laughing loudly.
"im rubbing my head because you hit me." harry said.
"and you let me, now lets continue." he said changing the subject.
They continued to walk for a good hour before coming to the other side of the Forrest.
"ahh looks like were here, they said it was up river, where there is a waterfall and a cave next to that." he said pointing to the river.
They walked for about 30 more minutes till they heard the waterfall.
"now harry, dragons are no simple magical creature, I will go in first to see If it is asleep, if it is, I will signal you and we will take as much gold as we can, if it is awake, well...we will know soon enough." Godric said as he walked to the entrance of the huge cave.
After a few minutes, Godric walked out and waved to harry to come into the cave, harry entered the cave and was momentarily shocked, the cave was huge, a little bigger than the great hall, and it had gold, jewels, and other trinkets, scattered all over the cave floor, and there in the middle, was the biggest being he had ever seen, it looked like a Hungarian Horntail, but it was larger than a Ukrainian Ironbelly, harry was again awe struck from the beast, he slowly walked towards the beast for some odd reason and pulled his wand.
"harry what are you doing!" Godric quietly called.
"no idea, I just have this urge..." harry responded.
"what do you mean son?" Godric said as he paced after harry.
"i don't know, I just have this urge...to tickle it..." harry said confused by his own actions.
"what?" Godric replied shocked by the answer.
"no idea, just want to tickle it." harry responded again confused.
Just then harry reached the dragons side, he could hear it breathing slowly and steadily, he then took his wand and slowly poked it in the side, nothing.
He poked a little harder, again nothing, so mustering his courage, he silently fired a very powerful tickling spell at the beast, when it connected, it reflected off the skin and went back to his wand, effectively destroying it, the beast stopped moving for a quick second, before breathing again.
Harry, feeling the urge gone, turned around and started walking back, then suddenly saw fear on Godrics face, wondering why, harry looked to his side, he immediately knew why, the dragons eye was staring right at him.
"oh" was all harry said as the beast let out a loud rawr.
Harry and Godric soon found themselves running for their life's. Just before harry reached the caves entrance, he heard a loud voice.
"WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY SLEEP!" yelled the voice.
Harry turned to see only the dragon, instead of turning and continuing to run, he stopped and looked back at the dragon.
"you can talk?" asked harry.
The dragon fully noticing harry stood upright and strait.
"of course human, the dragon lord can do more than just talk, so why do you wake me?" the dragon asked a little irritated.
"no idea, I had the urge to tickle you when I saw you." he answered truthfully.
"...you would dare tickle a sleeping dragon?" the dragon asked shocked.
"yea, I don't know why, I just felt the need too."
"hmm.. you are either very brave or very stupid human." the dragon replied.
The dragon leaned down to harry stopping just in front of him, but harry didn't move.
"do you not fear me boy?" the dragon asked.
"i should be scared, but I don't feel it from you, I don't know how to explain it."
"hmm. You are very interesting boy, tell me your name."
"harry Ambrosius" harry replied.
"Ambrosius you say? Tell me, do you know a man named Merlin?"
"the old man? What about him?" harry asked.
"so you do know him, who is he to you?" asked the dragon.
"well he is my moms uncle, and hes gonna train me in magic in a few more days, im from the future, and he said that I need to fix it from and evil man." harry replied simply.
"the future huh? very strange indeed, do you know my name harry?" the dragon asked.
"no Mr. Dragon, I don't." harry replied.
"my name is Emrys, harrynot Mr.Dragon." the dragon replied sickly at the name harry gave him.
"isnt Merlins last name Emrys?" harry asked.
"very observant harry, i gave merlin his last name many years ago, he walked into the very cave and did the same as you, he tickled me, we still dont know why, but from what you have just done, it must be a sign, those who are destined for greatness, will do something stupid, like tickle a full grown dragon, very odd you humans." the dragon said wondering why it was tickling that was the sign and not somethign else.
"Merlin tickled you too?" harry asked yet again confused.
"yes"
"what did you do after that?" harry asked.
"we talked for awhile, like we are doing now"
"and after that?"
"after that, we had a magical battle,do you wish the same harry?" asked the dragon.
"yes, but i dont have a wand, the spell i fired at you broke my wand."
"hmm, would you like to get a new wand?" asked the dragon.
"yes, i need one thats more compatable with me tho, i wasted too much magic with that wand." he said pointing to the sharded wand fragments.
"then i have a purposal for you, i will give you a few heartstings from my very heart, and tell you how to find a tree thats magic is more compatible to you, but you must do something for me."
"whats that?"
"you must form bond with me magically, i am getting old, and only with a magical bond can i survive, are you willing?" asked the dragon.
"yes" was all harry said.
"good, to start the bonding, hold out your hand."
Harry held out his hand and the dragon held out his front foot, he then bit his foot and cut harrys hand with his claw, and the dragon let his blood fall onto harrys hand, then placed his foot inter harrys hand and harry did the same, there was a flash of white light, and it was done.
"ahh your blood and magic is very powerfull harry." the dragon said.
"um. Thanks i guess," harry replied not knowing how to answer.
"the bonding is done, as long as you live, so shall i." the dragon said as he took his foot and moved it to his chest, he then tore open his chest to see his beating heart, stangly it did not bleed, and the dragon took his claw and pulled three heart strings from his beating heart, handing them to harry whitch brang out a glass container and placed them inside, and sealed them with a stasis charm.
"wow, didnt that hurt?" harry asked.
"no harry, as i am anchored to your life, i will feal no pain." the dragon replied.
"good, that looked like it would be painful."
"it was nothing, now, i belive you need a type of wood for your wand, perhaps something a little more flexible, so it doesent break so easily again." he said looking at the broken wand.
"yea that would be nice."
"well if you gather some magic, and place it around yourself, i can reach out and sence a magically compatible tree for your wand, i can then flame you there."
"flame me? That sounds a little dandgerous, and hot."
"very observant harry, but flaming is basically the same as a wizards apparition."
"so... its not hot?"
"since you are bound to me, you are mostly resistant to fire and heat, as such flameing would feel warm to you at most, this protection is also applied to any who side-flame with you."
"ok ill give it a try." harry said as he began to form his raw magic around him.
the dragon feeling his magic flowing was amazed at how powerful his magic was.
"your magic is quite powerful for a human so young harry, now just give me a moment to search."
after a moment the dragon found a good tree, a very old rare whomping willow tree.
"ahh that is a good tree for a wand, lets go now." he said as harry got ready.
The next thing harry knew, he was on fire and then he was standing in a forest, he imediatly saw the tree, it was very large tree, and it was moving.
"be careful harry, this tree in sentient, that means it can think for itself to a degree." the dragon warned.
Harry walked upto the tree and not knowing what to do, simply talked to the tree.
"um i dont know what im suppost to say, but i need a large branch of wood, i need a new wand, and you are very compatable to my magic." harry said a little unsure.
Then suddenly the tree swang a large branch at harry and almost hit him, luckly to his training, he ducked and rolled out of the way, he focused his magic at the branch and cast a very powerful cutting curse at it, cutting it off completly.
"very good harry, cut it into a large peice and ill transport you to the wand maker."
harry did just that, and soon found himself on fire again, then he was in front of olivanders, he walked inside and found the old man.
"hello Mr. Olivader, i have the materials for a new wand, can you make it for me?" harry asked the old man.
"ahh Mr. Ambrosius, i had a fealing i would be seeing you again, come here, let me see your materials." he said as harry handed him the large log and the heartstrings along with the crystal hanging from his neck. "Mr. Ambrosius, these look very fresh, mind telling me when you got them?" the old wandmaker asked.
"just a few minutes ago." harry replied.
Accepting the answer, he continued prepairing the process to make the wand. "i have never worked with ingredients that are so fresh, this should make a powerful wand indeed, but im curious, you have 3 heartstrings, and a full log, what do you plan to do with the rest of the materials?"
"im not sure, what can you do with the rest?" harry asked.
With a small grin, the old wandmaker said, "well, if you give me the leftovers of this fine peice of wood, i can fashion you a full set, which is 2 wands and 1 staff, a most powerful set if it is 100% compatable with you, would you agree with those terms?" the old man asked.
"yes, i dont know if i would use those, but i would like to have them, do it plase."
"ahh very well Mr. Ambrosius, i will start imediatly, it should be done in about 5 hours" the wand maker said excitedly, he was happy that he could make such a powerful set, and that he could have the left overs of such a rare log, it could easily craft 10 more wands.
~Harry how is it going?~ came a voice
~ Emrys? How are you talking in my head?~
~it is part of the bond Harry we can talk like this to each other, so how is it going?~
~good, he is making me two wands and a staff for therest of that branch~
~a smart man, do you plan on useing two wands at the same time?~
~i dont know, i just thaught i could use one as a spare.~
~well you should learn to use two at a time, it could help you out in a tight spot, but it takes almost full control of your magic to use them effectivly, and you can use the staff when you are doing more complex spells, as that will give you a better focus area than a wand can give you.~
~i can use two at a time?~
~yes, now i do belive that other human you were with is probably quite worried you have been eaten, shall i flame you to him?~
~i forgot about godric, he must be worried sick, can you take me to him?~
~yes, hold tight~
Harry once again found himself on fire, then he was in the forrest, this time, godric was running for the castle saying something that harry couldent understand.
"Godric" harry yelled after him.
Godric tripped over his own foot and landed face first into the ground. Harry walked up to him holding his sides.
"ahahaha, thats what you get for hitting me on the head dad." harry said while laghing.
"harry? I thaught you were dead, when you didnt come from the cave, i went back in, and you and the dragon were not there, so i ran to get help." he said while getting up and brushing the dirt off his face.
"weird story. aperently Merlin did the same thing to that same dragon, and he taught merlin about magic, he then helped me get new materials for two new wands and a new staff" harry said still chuckling a little bit.
"so... the dragon isnt bad?" godric asked.
"i would say hes quite the opposite, hes very nice, he gave me three of his heartstrings after he bonded with me."
"he bonded with you?" godric asked amazed.
"yea, he said it was to help him survive, so i did it."
"do you know what that means?" godric asked.
"no, what does it mean?" harry asked a little curious.
"harry if you bond with a dragon, you become part dragon." godric said plainly.
"im part dragon?" harry asked.
"yes, when you bond, you gain some of their abilities, while they live longer."
~Emrys, Godric said i would gain some of your abilities, what does he mean?~
~most interesting that another human knows of the dragons bond, but he is correct, with the bonding, i gain imortality while you live, and you gain some of my abilities, such as, you can talk to any and all magical creatures, you can flame, meaning you can travel by fire, and it is not limited by any wards known, then, you gain the mage eye, that lets you see magic in its pure form, but it wont activate untill you are ready to use it, and lastly, you being human, and not dragon, will be able to control the fire element. While most dragons live for very long times, the dragons bond is not needed by most dragons, but i am far older than all other dragons, and i did need it, im sorry i didnt tell you this beforehand, but i was limited on time.~
~wow, how do i learn to use all of those abilites?~
~with time, the knowledge will come to you, but flameing should work for you right now, try and use it, think of the place you be, then focus your magic around you, then, with it surounding you, will it to move you to your destination, it will feel warm, and you should flame there, go ahead and try it, dont worrie about messing up, it either works or it doesent, its not like apperating where something can go wrong, flameing is very safe.~
~ok, i dont know if it will work, but i will try.~
Harry closed his eyes, and focused his magic around his body, he thaught of his destination, and asked his magic, "take me to Hogwarts great hall please", he felt his magic warm up, as if acknowloging his request, he opened his eyes to see he was standing in the great hall.
~it worked, im at hogwarts~
~very impresive harry not many magical creature capable of flameing can get it on the first try, and as you use it more and concentrait, you will be able to flame faster and use less magic to do it, soon you will be able to just think of where you want to be, and you will flame there.~
~wow~
~yes, its very handy, but for now, i am tired, i want to rest, dont tickle me again.~
with that, the dragon fell asleep, and harry focused again and found himself standing before godric with a gaping mouth.
"what?" harry asked.
"you caught fire and then you were gone." godric replied.
"its called flameing, i just sucessfully traveled for the first time." harry said with a proud look.
"very impressive, i have never seen such a thing."
"it is a little odd, but its not bad, can we go back to the castle?"
"a fine idea harry, but... could we keep this incedent from your mother? I dont want to be on the reciving end of her wand, belive it or not, she can cast some very nasty hex's, and i dont feel up to dieing so young." godric said with a pleading look.
"agreed, i dont want her scolding me for the stupid idea of tickling a dragon." harry added.
"haha tickling a dragon, in all my years, ive never seen such a sight." godric added with a distant look in his eye.
"instead of walking, can i flame us home? I want to see if i can get us both back."
"only if you do it away from the house, i cant think of a good reason to give your mother why we both appear in flames."
"good idea." harry added while focusing his magic around himself and godric.
After he felt his magic surrounding them both, he asked his magic, "can you take us.." but was cut off as he felt his magic comply and he opend his eyes to see them standing just inside the forbidden forrest, they walked quietly into the castle, not mentioning anything about the cave or the dragon.
A few hours later harry went to collect his wands and staff.
0O0o0o0
Harry arrived in front of the wand makers shop, and entered.
"ahh Mr. Ambrosius, perfect timing, i was just finishing up your staff."
"and how is that coming along Mr. Olivander?" harry asked.
"Beautifully, such fine materials have given me the pleasure of crafting some fine peieces here."
"glad they could provide you with such fine working conditions."
"indeed, i am most pleased that they are going to such a fine wizard such as yourself, i do think you will go far whith these." the wandmaker said as he placed the wands and staff on the counter. "now if you will please place your hand over this bowl and provide me with a few drops of your blood.
Harry looking a little confused ask. "what for sir?"
"well most wands i make are standard, and are not made for individuals, so a blood rune would be impractical for all standard wands, but in your case, you have 3 custom peices being made, a rare occurance in my shop, and in this case, i feel its prudent to place this rune on your wands and staff, basically, only you and your desendents would be able to use your wand, as it would be tied to your blood."
harry nodded, "would you also be able to add some other runes? Say, the protection, retraval, and frendly runes?"
"i could, but what for?" the old wand-maker asked a little confused.
"well the protection rune would keep it from ever being destroyed, the retraval would be used if i ever lost one of them, or if they are stolen, they can be returned to me instantly, and the frendly rune would tie into the blood rune and allow any i deam frendly to use my wands or staff." harry stated.
"very ingenious, Mr. Ambrosius, you seam to take into account other factors i do not see, very well i will add those runes as well." the wand-maker said as he wavied his wand at harrys wands and staff and the rune diagram appeared in the air, he then procedded to add the new runes and tie the frendly rune into the blood rune. "now if you will spply a few drops of your blood, i can finish."
Harry cut his hand slightly and let the blood drop into the bowl, the old man waved his wand at the bowl and the blood floated to the blood rune and flashed white in acceptance and he waved his wand again and the diagram began to dissapear into the 3 objects.
"there we are, they are complete, i want to thank you for your bussness ."
"you are welcome, i hope the spare log will provide you with some very outstanding wands."
"indeed, a very rare breed of the willow tree, sentiant as well, should craft some fine wands, good night Mr. Ambrosius." the old wand maker said as he continued to the back of his shop in a very happy mood.
"good night." harry said as he procedded to flame back to hogwarts with his new additions.
Harry arrived back at the castle and quickly went to his room, and promply fell asleep.
End Chapter.
A/N: well thats chapter 4, hope you enjoyed it, just want to thank all to reveiws saying how they like the story so far, that makes me want to write more, i hope you continue reading in the future.
side note, some of you may think these powers are a bit overkill, but they are not, he first has to learn to use them, then he will get better at them, they are not hand-me-outs.
Also, my spell check is refusing to work properly, so sorry if there are blantant mistakes, PM me if you knotice one or two and i will fix them, this also goes for any chapter, i would like my story free of silly mistakes.
Untill next time.
