Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. To answer a few: yes Harry will be powerful but he wont have the experience or knowledge to utilise that power effectively. Don't forget this is AU there will be a few things changed, the Potter wills being one of them.
Harry flying down to India, over a great grass plain when he saw something shimmering in the distance, he did not know what it was yet it had drawn his curiosity, so he turned towards it. When he got a bit closer he saw that is was a giant golden ox, realising that this was a Re'em, a creature that could do great damage to him or even kill him, even in dragon form he turned away and found a sheltered area to sleep for the night as it was getting dark and he needed to sleep.
Much later that night he was awoken to the sounds of a creature in pain and men shouting. Travelling to where he heard and felt the commotion was going on. He was surprised to see the heavily bleeding Re'em surrounded by men who where attacking it. What's more is that they where talking in a language he had not heard in a long time, English. That language brought many bad memories for Harry but it looked like they had been attacked by the Re'em.
"Alright lads, a few more curses and we've got a big payday coming from this stupid beast" One that looked like the leader said.
Another moronic one chuckled "yeah, didn't even know we where gonna kill it before it was too late"
Okay maybe he got it wrong. He had to help this creature out, he knew how rare they where now and how it was being killed for profit. Changing forms into his dragon one, Harry decided the he would go for a more direct approach this time. So rather than quietly creeping or flying up to them, he walked. Or rather he stomped, his colossal weight and strength visibly shaking the ground around him and the vibrations could be felt for hundreds of meters around him.
As the poachers where about to let loose a new barrage of curses at the Re'em, just as they fired, THUMP. The barrage of curses where knocked off course as the men jumped from surprise.
"what the..." THUMP
The men jumped again, looking around them trying to see what was causing the noise. Only to see one of their number already down due to the misfired curses.
THUMP
The men looked rapidly around them try to spot anything that could be causing what was happening. THUMP Really wishing they hadn't decided to attack at night now they came to a circle with their backs together. THUMP
Preparing themselves, steeling their nerves and drawing on every drop of magic in their body. THUMP
The ground began to shake with each thump now, it must be getting close. THUMP
Yep definitely getting closer. THUMP
The night got much darker as the light provided by the moon and stars was lost as they vanished into the blackness of the sky. They could barely see the outline of each other and they where that close to each other they where touching. THUMP
THUMP They nearly stumbled from the force behind that one. It was something big, and it was heading their way. THUMP
"Maybe this trip wasn't such a good idea..." One of the 5 remaining men stated.
"Nonsense..." Said the leader of the group "I'm sure that.. Achhkk" That was the last thing he ever said as the night itself appeared to spear the man in his chest.
"What the...! Derek!" THUMP
"Oh god... oh god" THUMP
"We're all going to die" THUMP
"Yes... yes you are!" A Deep and gravelly voice stated. The now terrified hunters turned to look up into four fiery green eyes that seemed to light up the darkness around them.
"Lumos" The small light provided by the spell was enough to light up a Draconian head large enough to fit a Hungarian horntail in, comfortably.
The men whimpered and a smell of Urea permeated the air around them. The giant dragon open its terrifying maw again, but this time instead of words it was a fiery glow that came out of its mouth.
"This is goodbye humans" and then their vision was enveloped by fire and they knew no more.
The Re'em had a look of fear, yet defiance on its face. It wouldn't take this fate lying down, just as it was about to make a last charge at the great dragon, to his confusion it changed into a young human. As the human came up to him, it wasn't with a threatening posture but one of kindness and wishing to help. With great distrust he allowed the boy to come closer. As the boy came up to him he started to look at the wounds he had received from the other wand waiving wizards. Then to the Re'ems great confusion the boy spoke to him, and he could understand.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to heal your wounds" Said harry to the Re'em "But I can tell they are not going to close unless properly healed."
"It is okay, young child. I am old an had accepted my fate when I was attacked. But you allowed to me great Death on my own terms and not at the hands of others, for that I will be forever grateful. However I also sense the truth to your words, and I know that the last few days of my life would be painful and slow. For this I ask one last favour from you"
The last Potter grew a grave look upon his face as he heard the words of the Old Re'em and he had a feeling he knew what it would be.
"Do not be sad for me young child, I have lived a good life and raised many children in my years of life. I accept that this Is my time to visit the Great Plains Beyond but could you make my passing as painless and fast as possible"
"I will accept your words of wisdom and honour your last wish" with that that another spear of darkness appeared and went straight through into the Re'ems heart killing it near instantly. A glowing orb much larger than any other he had absorbed came out of the carcass.
While it is known that drinking Re'em blood gives immense strength, however rather than give a flat increase in strength as many would expect, it actually gives a 10 times multiplier on the strength of the individual. Thus when Harry absorbed this orb, his human form grew to the strength of that of his dragon form, however in his dragon form it became so strong that he was most likely the strong thing on Earth. His rise to Ascension had just begun.
