Tahlkiss Firedancer strode into Castle Azkaban, brushing past the pathetic guards. His neck-spikes up and his cape billowing in a very Snape-like manner, he was halfway down the main entry corridor when Lucious Malfoy caught him.

"Honored Ambassador, I am at you disposal, and my Lord wishes to speak with you in the…" his voice cut off as Tahlkiss opened the door to where the Dark Lord waited and glared at him.

"Next time I need someone to babble on and on, I'll be sure to call you. Now get out of my sight, mortal vermin!"

He whirled and entered the room, slamming the door on a disgruntled and thoroughly annoyed Malfoy, Sr.

"Greetings, Tahlkiss. I trust that you know of the reason I called you here? No? As you know, I have successfully, taken control of the world- the muggle and the Wizarding, but I am not, contrary to what some think, all powerful. I need allies. And the most obvious choice would be the incredibly powerful Draconian race. You, Wizard and Dragon, and your kin, the Dragons, are the most powerful races upon this earth, and I request your alliance."

Tahlkiss looked appraisingly at Voldemort, then turned and walked out the door. From every possible angle, Death Eaters appeared and began blasting curses at him, but he merely held up a scaly, clawed hand and the curses 'bounced' off of the air around him. The Death Eaters screamed as their own Crucio curses rebounded upon themselves. Tahlkiss swept through the mass of writhing bodies and out the doors. Suddenly, Voldemort Apparated before him, looking furious, but before he could say a word, the Draconian ripped off his cloak and extended his wings. Powering into the sky, he looked down and grinned maliciously. To bad for Malfoy, Sr. As Lucious snuck out the door, the Draconian's parting gift caught him full on. He was enveloped in searing black flames that ate away his skin, devouring him before he realized that he knew how to conjure water. The blaze was soon extinguished, but the Death Eaters' appearance would never be the same. Tahlkiss roared, just to see the huddle that was Lucious cower, and, tiring of this game, he soared off to find…someone who would be…useful to him.

Harry Potter sighed. He was sitting on a rock on the side of a hill, watching the sunset. He let his mind roam as he stared at the brilliant blues, purples, reds, oranges and yellows on the clouds. Lestolth was curled on the sun-warmed ground next to him, sleeping.

How could this happen to me,

I've made my mistakes,

got nowhere to run,

but life goes on

as I'm fadin away.

I'm sick of this life,

I just wanna scream,

How could this happen to me…

Harry closed his eyes as he remembered.

:Flashback: It was the Final Battle, the one everyone had worked so hard for. But he, Harry had failed them. When action was needed, he held them back, unsure, and because of that, everyone was dead.

As curses soared over them and around them, Harry created a trench with a well-used Dugra spell, something once used on battlefields to quickly make ditches. Everyone scrambled in and rested, glad for the reprieve. But when the spells thinned, Harry held back, suspecting a trap. But of only he had known…the only reason the spells had stopped was because of an unimaginable sacrifice on the part of Dumbledore and many students, in order to buy time for Harry. And he had wasted it, sitting there, suspecting a trap. :end Flashback:

Lestolth raised her dark head and licked her master's hand. He jumped and just about fell off the stone, but recovered in time to see what the serpent had- a large, winged shape coming towards him.

Tahlkiss Firedancer saw his target long before it saw him. Good…he is still safe…

Tahlkiss landed softly a ways away from Harry, walking slowly up the hill.

"Harry Potter!"

Harry visibly started, then replied "Yes, that is I. What do you want?"

Tahlkiss felt an intrusion in his mind and knew that the boy was looking for his name and intent. A moment later he was alone in his mind again.

"Tahlkiss Firedacer, are you? Fresh come from Lord Volie, too! Well, look at this."

Tahlkiss narrowed his eyes. "I just came from there because I decided to leave- he sickened me. And you should be glad I have found you…I come bearing an important message."

Harry's eyes widened and he looked at Tahlkiss curiously.

"What can you tell me that would be important?"

"What if I told you that, if you were to storm Castle Azkaban and attempt again to destroy Lord Voldemort," Harry realized with a note of interest that the lizard-man had no problem saying 'Voldemort'.

"What if I told you that you would have the full backing and power of the Draconians and Dragons behind you?"

Hi everyone!

As you can see, I've got it updated! YES! HAPPY! I know it's short, but it's been hell around here for the past couple of weeks. Next one will be longer. I promise. Please, you know you want to…
