Harry Potter: Son of Darth Vader

Chapter 10: The screeching egg

When the people in the arena could see again, the first thing they did was look down. What they saw was Harry, on his knees, as if in pain before his shirt vanished. Harry then started growing, black scales appeared at the base of his neck and spread down his spine. The fourth champion then roared as they crowd watched in horror. Fleur watched as her friend writhed in pain as he transformed into, whatever he was transforming into.

"Harry, we have to help him!" Penelope said as she grabbed Fleurs arm and the two ran from the stands and towards the medical tent. Harry at this point had his arms change into wings of a Hungarian Horntail but they were completely black. Back with the girls, Fleur and Penny barged into the med tent and said "Harry/ 'Arry is in trouble!" Cedric and Viktor stared at them before they grabbed their wands and all four of them ran for the Champion entrance.

"Whats wrong with Harry?" Viktor asked as they ran, Fleur answered, panic starting at creep into her voice " 'Arry is transforming into a massive black Hungarian Horntail." Cedric had a look of shock on his face, "Harry is changing into a dragon!?" "Yes and we need to help him." Penny said at they reached the entrance.

When they got there, they stopped as they saw Dragon catchers firing spells at the completely transformed Harry. "Stop shooting at 'Arry!" Fleur shouted at the catchers, who only gave her a glance before firing with more vigor. Then Harry opened his mouth and green flames shot out, turning pebbles and small boulders to ash and blackening larger rocks. "That's greek fire! Look out!" Someone shouted to from the right side of the arena, but Fleur charged at the massive beast with only the thought of saving Harry from this form before it's too late.

Harry roared at the people that had started attacking him before he tried burning them. He was about to do it again until a voice caught his attention, " Stop it, Right now!" Harry looked down and saw a beautiful woman standing only a few feet away from him. Then something in his mind clicked and the real Harry destroyed the draconic instinct before he took control of the body as well.

"Fleur? What happened to me?" Harry said with force telepathy to Fleur, as he lay on his belly to allow his Veela friend closer. "I don't know how, 'Arry. But you need to calm down." Fleur soothed as she walked up and started petting his cheek. Harry purred as Fleur caressed his scaled cheek before he saw the other champions and Penelope walk up to him. "Ok, on my signal, we'll stun the dragon will he is distracted." Harry lifted his scaled head and maneuvered his wings around his friends before he snarled a low dangerous sound.

"Stand down!" Someone shouted and every dragon catcher lowered their wand, Harry slowly opened his wings from around the people he was protecting. Then a red-headed man walked up with his hands up to show he was unarmed. "Sorry about that, names Charlie Weasley, head dragon catcher." Charlie introduced himself before he lowered his arms. "Boss, what are you doing?" A dragon catcher shouted from behind a boulder, Charlie ignored the question and smiled "I think I know what happened."

"Harry, I need you to think of yourself before you changed, ok?" Harry nodded slowly, confused, how was this going to help him? Harry then imagined himself before he entered the arena and then felt pain shoot through his body. "GRAAAAAahhhh!" Harry's roar turned into a shout of pain as his body shifted from the massive black Horntail to his human body. After he had fully shifted back, Harry was covered in sweat and gasping for air. " 'Arry, are you alright?" Fleur asked, Harry looked up from the ground and said "Did you get the number of that bus that hit me?" before he blacked out.

Harry woke up in the Hospital wing on his front and was without a shirt. " Harry, you're awake!" Harry turn his head to the right and smiled as Penny pulled him into a hug. "Ow, Ow, OW! Why is my back on fire?!" Harry hissed as Penny lifted him a bit, making her lower him back. "Sorry, I forgot," Penny said sadly making Harry give her a mock anger look "Forgot what?" Penny played along and said in the same sad tone "You have a second familiar mark on your back." "And no one knows how to make the heat coming from it stop." Nurse Pomfrey said as she bustled towards them.

Harry then felt the mark on his back start to flare up, pain making him clench his mouth to stop himself from screaming. Then the pain vanished as soon as it started when Harry heard a long line of profanities stream from his back. "Goodness me!" Madame Pomfrey yelped as Harry pushed himself onto his back. Landing on his naked torso was a hawk sized Hungarian Horntail, but its scales were completely black. "Will you stop cursing for a minute?" Harry snapped at the Horntail, who stopped cursing and stared blankly back at him.

"Your that wizard from the arena!" The miniature Horntail squeaked in parseltongue, making Harry realize that this was the same Horntail from the first task. "Harry," Penny asked as she got a closer look at the dragon on his chest, "Is this the Horntail from the first task?" Harry nodded but didn't take his eyes of the female dragon. The Doors to the Hospital wing then bursted open as Dumbledore, Darth Vader, Fleur and Madame Maxime, Viktor and Igor, and Cedric, and then Rita Skeeter.

"Why is she here?!" Harry pointed at Rita as he asked. Vader turned and stepped in front of the reporter, before he hissed "Get out, Champions and Family only, Skeeter." Rita Skeeter then spun on her heels and left the Hospital. "Are you alright, 'Arry?" Fleur asked as she got on Harry's other side. "Whats with the crowd?" Harry glanced around the gathered people and his father said "After the...explosion of light...you changed into a dragon. But you already know, the question is why did you change in the first place." Harry knew his dad was angry (understatement of the day, Harry thought) because of the goblet fiasko. "I think I know what happened to Mr. Potter." Igor spoke, making everyone turn and look at him. "Mr. Potter, do you have a familiar?" Harry nodded then Ishmael slithered out of her mark. "Then I think I have an answer." Igor then pulled a chair towards him and sat in it.

"Most wizards usually have only one familiar and that bond usually happens when a student buys an owl, rat, or other animal before they start school. Mr. Potter, you didn't have a animal to bond with when you started correct?" Again Harry nodded "Then you met your first, um…" "Ishmael" The Basilisk said and Igor nodded his thanks. "Ishmael and you bonded with her. When a familiar bond is complete, if the animal is magical, the familiar will add its own magic to the wizards or witches own, increasing the magic."

Igor paused before he continued, "Mr. Potter has, from what I've learned from Lord Vader, another power called 'The Force' and when he bonded the first time, both increased dramatically. But, when he bonded the second time, his powers were blocked by something, thus the transformation from human to dragon. Mr. Potter is, I believe, one of only a handful to have two familiars and not go insane from the power boost of both." Igor concluded his explanation making everyone but Harry, Dumbledore and Darth Vader looked stunned at the information.

Dumbledore then said in the silence that followed, "I think that it's been a tiring day for all of us. We should all head to our beds and sleep on what we have learned." Harry and Darth Vader glared at the old headmaster, who ignored them, Harry said "I want Fleur and Penelope to stay." This made Dumbledore shake his head "No, it would be better if they-" "If they stay here and keep my son from having another transformation in the hospital." Vader stopped Dumbledore from saying more and turned to Pomfrey, "Is that acceptable?" Pomfrey nodded "They can stay and help me heal Mr. Potter."

Harry left 3 days later, thanks to Pomfrey, Fleur, and Penny, fully healed.

Harry looked at the golden egg and sighed. He, Fleur, and Penny were in the Prefects bathroom, thanks to Cedric telling them the password. Fleur and Penny were wearing two piece bathing suits and Harry was still dressed in his robes. "This egg is probably the number one cause of headaches." Harry said as he put the egg down and got undressed. " 'Arry bring the egg with you, ok." Fleur called from the massive bath and Harry nodded.

Harry finished undressing and stood in some swimming trunks. Grabbing the egg, he got into the warm bath. "Fleur, where is your egg?" Fleur blushed " I forgot it back at the carriage." Harry rolled his eye's before he asked "You ready?" Penny and Fleur nodded and then all three took a breath before going under the water. Harry opened the egg and they heard a beautiful voice sing this.

Come seek us where our voices sound,

We cannot sing above the ground,

And while you're searching ponder this;

We've taken what you'll sorely miss,

An hour long you'll have to look,

And to recover what we took,

But past an hour, the prospect's black,

Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.

The trio then emerged from the water, gasping for air. "Mermaids," Harry said "The second task is in the black lake. Fleur had a look that said she didn't look forward to the task. "Fleur, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Penny said, Fleur looked between the two before she said "Veela are beings of fire and water makes use weaker. Veela and Mermaids also hate each other and when a mermaid see's a veela, the mermaid will probably torture, then kill her." Harry's blood boiled at that. "Fleur, when the second task comes, I will not let anything do happen. I promise."

And that is another chapter done. I hope you enjoy it and please review.
