When in Dorne

A/N - non specified pov is third

Sirius looks at Harry and explains, "Harry the reason it feels weird here is because magic is very...limited so to speak, you'll be able to do most things you could do at home but your reserves won't replenish all that fast. I guess this means one thing my family did well should come in handy if these swords tell us anything."

Five minutes later Harry and Sirius are walking into town, only to find that as they approached all the townsfolk started hurrying into their houses. Harry manages to spot one man corralling children into what looks to be a town hall, Harry points to the man and Sirius jogs over to him, arms high in a sign of peace. The man, now that they're close enough to see him clearly, is a little taller than Sirius, maybe 6'2, with black hair, a close cut beard and brown eyes. The man asks harshly, "Who are you? What do you want?" Sirius looks startled as Harry comes up to his left, Sirius replies honestly, "I am Sirius Black III and this is my nephew Harry James Potter and we stumbled upon you town by accident, we have no idea where we are. Could you tell us?" The man studied them suspiciously for a few seconds before responding, "You are in the town of Lightstall, I am Varn Sadlyn. You truly don't know how you got here?" Sirius just sighs while Harry shakes his head and replies sadly, "No, no idea at all. One moment we're fighting with friends, the next we wake up in a desert." Varn looks at them and thinks for a few moments, before saying, "Come, you will meet the town elder, he will decide what to do, be it give you aid or send you to the Martells for further judgment. I hope we grant you aid, you seem to be strong men, and fairly trustworthy." Sirius just smiles and nods exclaiming, "Lead on then friend!"

It took about five minutes of walking to get to the town hall, Sirius and Varn making idle conversation about random things, like sword techniques and stories of their youth. When they get to the hall Vern quickly tells them to wait outside while he confers with the elder, they quickly agree. It takes ten minutes for the Elder and Vern to come back while Harry and Sirius tried to decide what to do, Harry asked Sirius why his magic feels weird, Sirius replies "Mine feels the same, wherever we are, the magic here is weak. Magic will feel strong or weak depending on how much has been used or if there are wards up. At number twelve, your magic would have got a bit of a boost, mine certainly did, same at Hogwarts. However at a place like Malfoy Manor, where the wards don't accept you, your magic may feel normal but most likely it would feel sluggish. If we want to feel normal again we'll have to get a house and the the absolute hell out of it. Though I don't know why the magic here is so weak, a magical cataclysm maybe?" Harry looks startled and says "I didn't know that was how magic worked, why isn't it taught in Hogwarts?" Sirius just sighs and says, "Purebloods don't want muggle-borns to know." Harry huffs and shakes his head.

Vern comes back with an older man who looks to be about fifty, is about 5'7 with shaggy greying hair down to his shoulders, like Vern he is tanned, he also has hazel eyes. The Elder approaches Sirius and introduces himself as Athen Spyre the towns Elder. Athen asks pretty much the same questions and Sirius answers the same as they had before, this time however Athen asks a different question, he asks, "Do you have any skills that are useful? Know how to use those swords?" Harry and Sirius look at each other for a few seconds before asking to have a few minutes to discuss between them, Athen allows it.

Harry asks Sirius, "So what do we say? If magic feels weak here then it's fair to assume it hasn't been actively used here for awhile right?" here Sirius nods and motions for Harry to continue, "So if it hasn't been used for awhile we probably shouldn't go actively broadcasting that we have it, so what do we do and do you actually know how to use a sword?" Sirius just sighs and responds, "No you're right we shouldn't be telling everyone we can use magic, however we may actually need to tell Athan and Vern as to explain a few things we can do. Yes I do know how to use it, so did your dad for that matter. Most Pureblood families who had family fight Grindelwald taught their heirs how to, my grandfather, Lord Arcturus Black fought him alongside your grandfather. I'll have to teach you soon, at least the basics."

During the entire explanation Harry was just looking at Sirius with his mouth slightly agape, he quickly closed it when Sirius said with a smirk, "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies." Harry just rolls his eyes and states, "So we ask Ver and Athen if we can show them some of our skills in the Hall because it would be bad if they got out?" Sirius nods, Harry continues, "We show them some magic, maybe Aguamenti, then explain that you can use the sword but I can't?" Sirius nods and says, "That's the plan."

One and a half hours later

Athen says, "Well boys that was quite the story, magic hasn't been used here actively since The Doom, about four hundred years ago. Don't worry Harry, I'm sure we can get you good with a sword in no time." Vern goes to speak when there's a shout, everyone looks toward the hill that Harry and Sirius came down, atop the hill everyone sees thirty five horsemen, Athen looks at Harry and asks, "Harry I know you don't know our people but can you get everyone who can't fight, is too old or young, into the Town Hall?" Harry nods grimly and runs into the town getting people's attention, helping elderly people and ushering children into the Town Hall.

A/N - most likely fortnightly updates, chapters will gradually get bigger

To the person who asked, no it won't be Harry/Jon snow fem!snow or otherwise, most likely won't have too much romance but if it does Harry will end up as the dragon father.

Yes I can see what people were saying about chap length, I'm adjusting to putting more in
