Chapter 6: Harry returns to Hogwarts
Harry felt a hand upon his shoulder "Master Harry?" The child like voice started to speak "Are you alright?"
Harry looked up into the fair haired boy. "Yes I am Hebron." He said.
"If I might ask Master, what happened to our dragons?"Hebron asked.
"That is a very good question…." Harry responded as he started to look around, as he opened his mind to reach out to find the dragons.
He heard the scream of his dragon /Harry!!!/ Godric had bellowed.
/Be calm Godric. We are fine. We are in the room that I found your egg in. Where are you?/ Harry asked
/I do not know Harry. The room is very large and there is very nice bedding for what looks like all thirteen of us. I see an opening that is large enough for us to go though. I see another building, a tall one with lots of windows and Owls./ Godric said.
/Sounds like you are near the owlery. If you see anyone that is not a rider, let me know. We will attempt to get to you as soon as we can. It might not be safe for you and the other dragons./ Harry told Godric.
/Very well/ Godric projected back to Harry.
Harry stood up as he fought his grief. He looked at his charges. "Do not worry, your dragons are here, open your minds and you will be able to speak to them. Now where we are…." Harry paused as he let the students speak to the other half of their hearts and mind. "We are at Hogwarts, the magical school in my homeland. We are where I come from."
A black haired young woman, who had known fifteen summers, stepped forward. "Master, what are we doing here? Why did we leave our homeland?" She asked.
"Because an evil man killed many of your fellow Dragon Riders. You were only spared because you were training off in the forest." Harry said. "Now I need to figure out how much time…." He was cut off by the booming voice that he heard the first time he was in here.
"It has only been two moons since you last stood in these halls Master Rider."
The students seemed a little shaken up at hearing the voice from nowhere. "Don't worry. In Hogwarts, you get used to things like that. There are paintings that even speak to you. In the non magical world there are many more wonders that seem like magic. As for why I was in Alagaësia for over thirty years but only two months have passed here I do not know. Now, you all have been taught how to shield your minds from outsiders?"
The students nodded. "Shield your minds then, however do not block your dragon. No one in Hogwarts will touch your dragons, at least not for a little bit." He looked at the students, ranging in age from eleven to seventeen. "I wish for all of you separate a few paces from each other and practice a spell for me, it is Kyrdol Mor."
The students nodded. They flicked their right hands out as they cry out "Kyrdol Mor" Glowing orbs of light enveloped the students. "Very good. Now to stop it, say Ael Mor." Once the shield had faded Harry spoke again "Use those words if anyone points a stick that looks like this." He showed them his wand. "If anyone points a Wand at you and the spell starts with Avada, duck, find something to hide behind, but DO NOT stand there. That spell is like one of the twelve words of death and it is unblockable as far as I know."
The students nodded with all of them saying "Yes Master."
Harry smiled at them "Good, now follow me. I have a headmistress to scare." Harry opened the door to the hallways, leading the students out of the chamber.
Elsewhere, Ron and Hermione ran through the gates of Hogwarts. Hermione skidded to a stop. "Ron, what is that building next to the owlery?" She asked.
"No idea… You think it had something to do with the light we saw?" The red head asked.
"Likely. Come on Ron…let's get back inside." She said.
They entered though the large double doors that was the main entrance just as a tall black haired man that had students in odd clothing came up a set of stairs. The man had slightly pointed ears, almost like an elf had, but not quite there. His eyes were slanted like an elf. His face was angled like an elf. But what caught the two friends were his eyes. They were such a rich green, they had only seen eyes like that on one person "Harry?" Hermione asked.
The man smiled at Hermione. "Hermione…Ron…" He said, very softly. He opened his mouth to speak more but a voice came from above him.
"Who are you and how dare you enter it without my permission?!" The voice demanded to know "Who are those children behind you? Detention for not being in school robes!" She declared.
Harry turned to face the short toad like woman when the youngest behind Harry spoke "Who's the toad?" The comment brought soft snickers though out the entrance hall.
"I will explain in a moment Kosona. Now stay here." Harry said. He lifted his head, his scar showing as he took a step forward. "I am Master Dragon Rider Harry James Potter. Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Dragon Riding. I claim the duty of Headmaster of the Dragon Riders by the treaty of Stonehenge under article 47, paragraph one as duly signed by Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and the leader of the Dragon Riders, Nimbin the wise." Harry said in a commanding tone. There was a slight glow around him and along the floors as there formed another hour glass full of multi colored gems that shined like Dragon Scales.
"I am Headmistress of this School Potter. You are nothing but a liar and apparently a power hungry Dark LORD!" Umbridge declared. "There is no such treaty! Surly not signed by Slytherin."
"Oh but I am sure you do not understand that treaty Umbridge. Under Article 47, Paragraph 23, only those with a pure heart and soul may be the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Dragon Riding. As the magic did not strike me down, that alone proves that I am no Dark Lord." Harry said with a smile.
"The Aurors will arrest you Potter! You have been killing muggles and Wizards since you left us two months ago! Your mark has been found above their houses. You with that murderer Sirius Black." Umbridge declared.
Harry shook his head "I am Sorry Madam Umbridge, but no such thing will happen. I have not been in county for the last two months. I have been occupied elsewhere." Harry said as he took another step closer to Umbridge. "I also claim acting Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under Section 50, Paragraph 43. It states that should the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry become incapacitated for any reason to include medicinal or the unjust removal from the school that the head of Hogwarts School of Dragon Riding shall become acting Headmaster or Headmistress." Harry said, his eyes twinkling as he spoke.
"Umbridge, you have no idea how to treat children, you are a bigot and you are a cruel woman. Perhaps if you got laid…Oh wait, no one would touch a toad save for MUGGLE fairy tales… With that said, I dismiss you from this school and these grounds. You shall not cross these gates ever again!" With that said, Harry lifted his hand above his head. With a flick of his wrist he brought it down.
Umbridge looked like she was about to laugh when she felt her feet lift the ground. She flew out of the main hall, though the doors and landed with a hard thump outside the main gates. She screamed in outrage as she stood up and attempted to enter the grounds once more, only to find herself knocked to the ground. "The Minister will have your head Potter." She screamed before she disappeared, to the Ministry of Magic Harry assumed.
The main hall was silent as Harry turned to McGonagall "Professor, there is much we have to talk about now that that bigot has been removed from my school. The Minister will be here shortly and I must speak to him. We will talk after that." Harry smiled at the shocked old witch. "Don't worry Professor, I am not Dark. I only wish to protect my students and the students of Hogwarts. Now, where is Hagrid. There is something I must do to prepare for the Minister and I think he would like to watch."
McGonagall seemed to find her voice "Ha..Harry, I think we all would like to watch."
Harry nodded "Very well. Only the professors, Ron and Hermione may come with us. Oh and my students." He said as he pointed behind him. "Would you call Hagrid to the main entrance Minerva?"
Hermione looked shocked that Harry would speak to her like that, but she was still in even more shock over what Harry had done to Umbridge. However McGonagall pulled her wand and sent off a spell that shot out of the Hall. Harry walked out of the entrance and waited for his large friend to come. Behind him, the group of professors and his two friends stood behind him. Moments later, the half giant of a man came bounding up the path.
A/N…Forget me writing Hagrid's voice right…
"Harry!" Hagrid cried out, his arms gripping the boy-who-lived in a bone crunching hug "I was so worried about you!"
"Hagrid….need to…breath!" Harry said.
The half-giant let go of Harry. "Where have you been Harry?" He asked.
"It is a long story Hagrid, but first, I need to show you something." With that, Harry turned and walked to the new building that had formed out of thin air.
As Harry entered, the large green Dragon bounded forward /Harry!/ He cried out.
The Dragon Rider students rushed forward to their own Dragons, cries of delight leaving their mouths. "It's beautiful Harry! I never thought I'd see so many Dragons and look, that green one knows you!" Hagrid said, a smile on his face that reached his ears it would seem.
"Harry Potter! Get back from that Dragon!" McGonagall cried out, as the professors reached for their own wand's, thinking they had to protect everyone from the Dragons.
Harry turned to face the teachers of the school. "There is no need to protect us Minerva. These are our Dragons and we are their Riders. We are bound heart, soul and mind to them as they are to us. We are the protectors of the peace. Keepers of the land."
/This one should have been a Rider. He has been touched by a Dragon but has not been linked to her./ Godric said as he lowered his snout to Hagrid.
/It could be that he is only half human?/ Harry asked.
/It could be…It is likely that what his other half is confused the Dragon that hatched for him. They have bonded but not fully. Perhaps it is not too late to complete with your help Harry/ Godric told Harry.
Harry smiled at Hagrid before turning to the godsmacked professors and his friends who were standing there with their mouths open. "This is Godric, my Dragon. I have been with him for over thirty years." Harry said as he rubbed Godric's right leg.
"How have you been with him for that long Harry? You've only been gone for two months." Hermione said.
"I assume it had something to do with the magic of the Portal that took me to his land…" Harry tilted his head slightly. "Students, do you sense that?" He asked.
"Yes Master. Who that is holds great ill will to you. It feels different then the toad woman that you kicked out of this school." Said the oldest rider student.
Ron snorted. "She did look like a toad."
Harry looked at the dark skinned female rider. "Yes Falilana. I am sure that is the Minister. Shall we go meet him along with our other halves?" Harry asked but did not let them answer as he walked out of the Dragon Hold. He walked down to the paths that winded up from the main gate. "Fudge! How is the most corrupt and incompetent Minister of Magic of all time today?"
The portly man froze as he spun around to speak "How dare you sp..sp…spe……" He lost his voice as he saw the thirteen dragons behind Harry as they walked down to him. He swallowed hard before he found it again, "Aurors, kill those Dragons!"
Harry held up his hand as he spoke "letta." The spell froze the small company of Aurors. "Now now Fudge, how would you like it if I just met you and gave an order to kill you?" Harry said as Godric lowered his face to Fudge's own before letting out a deep throated growl. The Ministers green bowler hat fell from his head. "I assume you are here because your toad came to you and whined about how the bad Harry Potter kicked her out." Harry smiled. "Unless you wish land on your backside like her, I suggest that you calm down and ask your historians about the Treaty of Stonehenge. Until you are reasonable, accept the proof before your eyes, get off school grounds."
"You can't order the Minister like that!" Fudge declared. "You cannot kick me off Ministry grounds!"
Harry smiled again "Oh I am sorry Fudge…but you are not on Ministry grounds. You see, the Ministry does not own this land that Hogwarts sits on. It is owned by the Heirs of the Founders. In the absence of the direct line, it falls to the Headmaster of the Dragon Riders and the Headmaster of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He took a step forward. "Oh and Tom Riddle can no longer lay stake to his claim to the school. As I defeated him, not once but four times, he no longer is the heir of Salazar Slytherin. I am Salazar Slytherin's magical heir, holding all rights to ALL of his holdings."
Fudge sputtered again but Harry was not done speaking "Now get off my ground Fudge. No one from the Ministry of Magic shall be permitted on these grounds unless they have my direct permission. Now do something useful, like find Tom Riddle, or otherwise known as Voldemort." Harry said ashis hand started to flick. He paused before looking at Fudge in the eyes "Oh and do stop taking money from Malfoy. He is a bloody death eater." He finished his hand movement and banished the Ministry group from the grounds.
Harry turned to Ron. "Could you ask Charlie to fly Norbert here? Hagrid and I have something to discuss with him."
All Ron could do was nod dumbly. "Now about that talk Minerva? Perhaps over some tea? I have not had proper British tea in a very long time." Harry said as he walked forward, taking the deputy headmistress by the arm, tucking his own under hers.
