a/n:This is my first Harry Potter story. When I saw Azkaban last night it inspired me to write this story. So here you go. Don't flame my stories as you won't live much longer after the comment. (It's a damn joke people) Oh yeah, compliments are appreciated. (obviously) Oh yeah, if you didn't bother, which I hope you didn't-not-bother, reading the summary, this story is kind of an adaptation to the Order of the Phoenix. It's Harry, Hermione and Ron in their fifth year, but it ain't the Order of the Phoenix. It's completely different. You'll catch on, please review.

Harry Potter and the Legendary Dragon Riders

Chapter # 1:The Farsight

"Stop it Ronald!" Hermione screamed as she entered the trio's compartment on the Hogwarts express. "You put that down this instant!" Ron lowered his wand from Crookshanks and slipped it into his robes. On his hand was a line of blood that rolled down his fingers.

"H-he bit me!" Ron argued. "That furball bit me!"

"Well I'd bite you too if you were aiming a wand at me." Hermione said, lowering her voice. She picked up Crookshanks and held him away from Ron.

"He started it." Ron snapped. He folded his arms and stared out the window at the land below them. It was still light out and Hogwarts was still a ways away. "So who's our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher this year?"

"Professor Umbridge." Hermione said as soon as Ron asked his question. "From what I've read, she is supposed to a fabulous teacher. I just hope she lives up to my expectations."

As for Harry, he stared out on to the grassy hills that were a short distance from the bridge they were traveling on at that very moment. He then turned his head so he could look down into the water. Something caught his eye as it seemed to swim along the side of the train. It wasn't a fish, but something maybe a little bit larger. Even though the water the object swam in led to the lake beyond the castle, there wasn't a very large chance that the object would come toward the castle. For all he knew, it could be the giant squid that lives in the castle lake!

He thought of falling asleep but Ron shook him to his senses. "Are we there already?" he asked lazily.

"Hogwarts? No way! The snack cart is here, want anything?" he asked.

"You woke me for this?" Harry sighed. "Well, I guess. Two cauldron cakes, please." Harry told the witch with the snacks. She handed them over as he did two sickles. He ate one of them and wrapped the last one for later. "So, what'd you two do over the summer?"

"Not much, homework, Percy's still working for the Ministry. He actually likes working for those bloody slave drivers!" Ron complained. "If I had a sickle for every compliment he gave the Minister, I'd be living in a mansion right now with leopards guarding the entrance! I'm sick and tired of his stupid job!"

"Calm down, Ron!" Hermione said, "We know you're upset about it, you've been ever since you got the news. But do we really need to hear out your fury?"

"Well it would be nice if you did!" Ron shouted. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I wrote to you but I didn't get any messages back." she said. Harry looked puzzled, surely he would have recieved some of her letters.

"You said you never got any back?" Harry asked, Hermione nodded. Harry thought for several moments before answering. A streak of lightning crashed outside the train and they jumped.

"If I'd have known better, I would've said it was intercepted. But who'd intercept my mail?" Harry said suspiciously.

"Well, how 'bout that stupid, little midget that beat the crap out of you in our second year?" Ron suggested.

"You mean, Dobby." Harry corrected. "Nah, I think he learned his lesson long ago. And besides, he works in the castle, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"Well, anyway," Hermione began, "I was going to tell you aboutour newest teacher and our new password which is "Hinkypunk". Oh yes, I almost forgot." Hermione reached into one of her robe pockets and grabbed an object. She handed it to Harry. It was wrapped in a long roll of parchment that took a while to unwrap. "Your birthday present." Harry smiled and his wonderful friend and held the object in hand. It was a glass sphere. Not a remembral, yet something very similar.

"It's called a farsight." Hermione said proudly. Harry gazed at the beautiful sphere to see what it would hold. "It's very useful for danger actually-" She would've gone on with her desription of the gift she had given Harry, but Ron had interupted her.

"Forget danger! Now we can get back at Malfoy after all those years of hatred!" Ron said, excited. Harry had thought of that as well, the useage of revenge would be much too sweet, but what were the risks of it falling into another's hands?

Hermione glared at Ron and continued. "As I was saying, it's very useful for danger. Whoever holds it can see what life has in store for them. It could come up in a written message or actual footage. Go ahead Harry, try it!" Harry held it carefully but firmly and stared into it.

"Nothing's happening." he told her.

"Silly me," Hermione said. "Close your eyes and then try it." Harry did as he was told and opened them, wide.

"It works!" he exclaimed. "Thanks Hermione!" Hermione just smiled her happy smile.

"Can I have a go?" Ron asked, his tone of voice was still excited. After he asked, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his gift to Harry. It was wrapped in the same kind of parchment, but not so "secure". Inside was another sphereic tool.

"Sorry I didn't remember right away." said Ron. "It's a levetational orb that can hold up the heaviest of objects! If you balance them carefully." Harry let Ron study the Farsight while he channelled the levetational orb. It was orange with a yellow center. He let it go and it stayed in the air. He pressed his hand down on it, but no go. It didn't budge an inch.

"Thanks you two." he smiled.

The train halted at the station and everyone was emerging from their compartments. Harry could see many of his friends. Seamus Finnigan, Justin Finchfletchy, Dean Thomas and some of his enemies as well. Draco Malfoy was three compartments ahead of them. Unfortunately, Harry was happy to see him, considering he had the farsight in his possesion. He would have to wait for that egocentric blonde to pay the price.

a/c:Good chapter, no? I shall return the favor for all who review this tale. Oh yeah, I have some new characters that shall be introduced in this story. One that will fall for Hermione, and another that may be another one of Harry's enemies!
