Ok I'm new to all this so please be kind Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or any of the characters In J K Rowling's books and I am not making any money from Writing this

Well now that's out the way lets see how I do

The Dragon's Eye

The air blew in his face as he soared through the sky on the shoulders of his new friend, the dense clouds on either side giving away nothing as to his location, then suddenly, below him he saw it, his home away from 'home' Hogwarts, but there was something wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but something felt wrong. Then suddenly a voice spoke straight into his mind,

"You have been chosen Child OF Hope, now face your destiny" He clutched his head in agony before finally blacking out.





"Harry"

'What happened?' he thought,

"Harry, come on wake up"

Finally he opened his eyes and was met by the worried face of his best friend. He looked at Ron a moment before he realised 'something's strange here' he thought.

"Ron" he said "Why am I on the floor"

"Because, you idiot, you passed out"

Ron looked down at his friend with concern in his eyes. Harry was on his back on the floor of his divination class with a wide-eyed face that said he had suddenly realised where he was.

"Oh hell Ron, help me up"

"No can do buddy" Ron frowned and glanced at Harry's arm, only now did Harry notice how much pain he was in, he winced and tried to get up.

"Hold it" Ron said with a smile "Madam Pomfrey said you weren't to move until she got here. What happened?"

"You tell me!" was Harry's only response.

"Well" Ron started "one minute you where pouring the tea for today's class then you just, collapsed"

"But why does my arm hurt?"

"Because" said a voice from behind Harry that could only belong to Madam Trelawney "As you fell you pulled the tea pot with you and it smashed on your arm (and it was one my best)" she grumbled obviously upset that once again Harry had refused to die as per her premonitions. But before Harry could respond Madam Pomfrey appeared, checked his arm and ordered him to the hospital wing, at which Ron started to help Harry but was told he had to finish his lesson. Harry shot Ron an apologetic look as Madam Pomfrey led him out of the tower and up to the infirmary.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Harry sat on the bed in the ward and glanced around him at the now familiar hospital wing, he was now in his sixth year at Hogwarts and much had changed over the years. He had long ago left the skinny wide-eyed boy he had been behind and begun his ascension into adulthood, he now stood a good six foot tall his body toned from year of Quiditch training which had picked up the pace recently since he was now trying his best to become captain of his house team before he left next year, he was also training hard in the hopes of turning professional (possibly he still wasn't sure). The only visible signs that this was the same boy that Hagrid had collected all those years ago were the scar on his head and his startling green eyes beneath a shock of unruly black hair.

It had been two years since Voldemort's resurrection and yet the world was still surprisingly quiet, although Harry thought that was due to a ministry cover up. Though there was nothing he could about that now.

He was just getting off the bed to search for the mediwitch when there was a shriek from the doorway which caused him to glance up, but he was to slow as something crashed into his chest forcing back down onto the bed, he was about to panic when he heard a sound that caught his undivided attention, someone was crying.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry noticed the crying seemed to be coming from his chest, cautiously he glanced down and a small smile played across his lips and his face softened as he recognised what had hit him (although now he thought about it he had known what was happening the moment the door opened). There in his arms was a sight that could stop his heart in an instant, a beautiful fifth year Griffindor with bright red locks which Harry was now carefully stroking, calming her simply with the contact and tenderness he was now showing.

After a while the crying stopped and Harry reached down and gently raised her chin so he could gaze into her sparkling blue eyes.

"Hey Ginny" he smiled

Her eyes seemed to sparkle at his words, and then suddenly darkened as she took note of Harry's arm

"Harry, what happened?"

"Huh? Oh I just spilt some hot tea that's all" he reassured her

"Then why are you still in here?"

"Oh, Madam Pomfrey just wanted to keep an eye on me, it's nothing really" He saw that she still wasn't sure so he bent forward slightly and gently kissed her.

"I'm fine, I swear" he smiled at her as he pulled away from the kiss and she seemed to totally relax and pulled him into her arms snuggling deeply into his chest.

"Ah-Hem"

Harry sighed; he didn't need to look to know who that was. It seemed that ever since Ginny and he had finally admitted their feelings for each other, and started going out, Ron had developed a nasty habit of turning up when he was not wanted.

Harry reluctantly pulled away from Ginny's embrace and shot Ron a look that promised death, Ron didn't seem to notice.

"Ginny" he said "Neville's been looking for you, something about helping him with his potions work?"

"Oh my god! I forgot!" At that she kissed Harry and shot out of the room nearly knocking Ron over in the process.

"Hey! Watch it Ginny" Ron yelled after her

"Well, it would serve you right"

"What do you mean?" Ron snapped as he turned to Harry

"I mean I'm sure you follow Ginny and I around just to....."Harry trailed off

"Harry! You know I wouldn't"

Harry glanced at his friend and nearly collapsed in laughter at the pout on his face "Alright Ron" Harry gasped "Just try to give Ginny and me some room OK!"

"Sure thing Harry, now are you going to tell me what happened this morning or what?" Ron asked

"It's nothing, honest I guess it was just the heat up there"

"It was not nothing Harry the last time that happened" Ron glanced at Harry's head before he caught on

"No Ron, it wasn't Voldemort, but there was some thing strange"

"Well, what?" But before Harry could answer Madam Pomfrey walked in and forced Ron out while she did a final check on Harry. Ron made his way back to the Griffindor common room and collapsed in a chair by the fire "It's awfully quiet in here" he thought out loud

"That's because everyone's gone down to the great hall for dinner" Ron span around on hearing the voice but relaxed as soon as he saw who it was.

"Hey Mione" Ron smiled at the young woman who had been his and Harry's best friend since the first year at Hogwarts. Although she still had her bushy hair around her head that was the only thing about her that was the same, she had grown and filled out to be a beautiful young woman who for some strange reason had a soft spot for Ron but a major crush on Harry (of cause no one knew this) as she looked at Ron she remarked at how little he seemed to have changed.

"Well some of us get our growth spurts late" he defended. Hermione stifled a giggle then got a serious look on her face

"Well never mind that, how about you tell me what happened to Harry. I've already had two different versions, one of which had Harry's scar actually glowing on his head".

"What! Rubbish, look he just passed out from the heat that's all"

"I would agree if Harry was ill but he's not, so why did he."

"Collapse?" They spun to face Harry a serious look on his face.

"Hi Harry" Hermione called

"So, ready to talk Harry?" Ron asked

"I suppose, but I'm not sure what there is to tell, I passed out, had a dream and woke up that's it"

"Wait a minute, what dream" Hermione inquired

"Well that's the strange thing you see it was like I was flying but, not on a broom but some sort of animal? Then a voice said something about a child of hope and about facing my destiny then I woke up, Ron over me" he shuddered involuntarily "now that was scary"

"Hey"

"Well it was, Anyway I'm going to get some dinner then I got practice see you guys later " and with that left the common room and its occupants with a slightly glazed look on there faces.

"He's taking this very calmly" Hermione stated "Usually if this sort of thing happens he either bottles it up and doesn't say anything or freaks, he's never been this calm"

"Maybe because it wasn't anything to with you-know-who he just figures it will pass?"

"Yeh maybe but I'm going to have a read up on that child of hope thing!"

"Aw Mione can't you just let it lie, Harry said he was fine"

"So did Ginny in second year, remember?"

"Cheap shot Mione!!"

"I'm still going to check"

"Fine, well I'm going to eat" Rom stomped out of the room, Hermione just shook her head and made her way to the library where she found Ginny and Neville going over books on potions. Hermione smiled as Ginny looked up.

"Have you seen Harry yet?" Hermione asked

"In the hospital wing, but I had to leave to meat Neville"

"Well if Neville's done with you" she glanced at Neville who nodded "He's in the great ha....." but before she could finish Ginny was gone, all Hermione could do was smile.
