Chapter 15 Dragons
Back to Harry…
Harry was excitedly running to the room that he knew Salm was now occupying, when a thought passed through his mind. Wait a minute. Now that he thought about it. He was behaving too much like a kid. Why was he all huggy dubby with all the people that he just technically met in this dimension. He was acting like a god damn snot-nosed wussy kid. He was a technically adult wizard in his previous dimension. He even kicked Voldemort's ass. But where did all his maturity go? Giving kisses and hugs to almost everyone taller than him. Disgusting! Okay! Calm down, it's time to act like a mature responsible grown adult. Well, not all that responsible. He'd already put up with the responsibility of fulfilling the prophecy. He was entitled to act like anything he wants to now. He is free now. So instead of seeing Salm, although he kinds of miss him. Salm is still kind of overbearing. Getting all protective around Harry, if he remember it correctly. Well, almost everyone Harry knows here, is kind of like that… But moving on…
Okay! It's decided. He was going to enjoy his freedom. It's time to have an adventure. This will be the perfect opportunity. Sirius and Aunt M knows that he's with Salm. And Salm doesn't know that Harry should be with him. So Harry was free with no one out looking for him, till lunch. And that's hours away! Yes! Time to stretch his wings. Time for his long awaited freedom. It's been awhile since he had the time to just fly around and stretch his kickass animagus dragon form. And magical creatures are invisible to muggles. So he was safe. The breed of his dragon form is known for flying out and roaming the sky. They aren't a danger to anyone unless provoked and the wizarding community leaves them alone! Yes! Awesome! This will be perfect. He was going to fly through the skies and scare some wild animals in the forest. Harry remembered that bears and lions and all kinds of predators are scared of his ferocious humongous dragon form. This will be awesome. He need to scare someone right now and feel that he was still big and strong. Yup!
Harry then turned 180 degrees and went to the direction of the exit of the Ward Mansion of Aunt M. When Harry reached the gardens, he transformed into his "ferociously big" dragon form and flew through the skies. Now if Harry would have looked closely at his animagus form, he would see that he was a cute furry white dragon puffing up in the sky. But this was not noticed by our main hero, little Harry. In Harry's mind, he was picturing himself in his previous form in his previous dimension where he was the size of a two-storey house and still growing with a spiky tail with sharp scary looking teeth. Where all the creatures, human or not, tremble at the sight of his ferocious dragon form. So unknowingly, Harry in his baby dragonling form was puffing away in the sky making an adorable cute sight to anyone that would see him, human or not.
Harry then swooped down at Dragon Forest where dragons of all kinds were known to hunt and rest. Now, unknown to Harry, while his knowledge of geography was still relevant in this dimension, there are a lot of differences now. Like how different magical creatures have a culture and a world of their own in this dimension. Exhibit A- the house elves. Now the elves will have to be discussed at another time. Because today we'll be focusing around dragons. So back to the story.
Harry was enjoying his hunt. He was about to scare a big bear that was prowling around the forest. He was silently flying at the bear's back, thinking to make a big roar and startle the poor bear. What he didn't know was that well, he's tiny now. He was only a quarter of the size of the bear. And he was in a magical forest. Therefore that animals living in Dragon Forest have sharper senses. As Harry "roared"…
"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE" was what was supposed to come out. Remember, readers, he's still a little dragonling, and this is the adorable sound they make. But nothing came out, Harry forgot that he was still mute. But then the bear still felt something at his back and defended himself as was natural.
Instincts took over. The big black bear turned around, and made a powerful swipe at the little creature that startled him.
Now normally, to an adult dragon, this would be harmless. But to a little dragonling, this was dangerous. The swipe got Harry's right wing. Harry was not expecting this and was unable to dodge the powerful blow. The little white puffy dragonling tumbled down mid-flight.
Oops! Big mistake for the bear. When the bear saw that what he had hit was a little dragonling. He got scared. Dragons were known to be protective around their young just as bears are. So upon seeing the injured dragonling, the bear turned around again and made a quick escape before other bigger dragons saw what he had done.
While the black bear made good on his escape, the little dragonling that was Harry felt an immense pain on his right wing and was unable to control his flight. He tumbled down on the hard ground full of little sharp rocks and twigs thereby furthering injuring himself and came at a stop in front of a lake.
Harry was really disoriented when he finally came to a stop. This shouldn't be happening. The bear was supposed to be scared of him. This was supposed to be fun and harmless. How did he end up in this situation bruised and injured. Harry tentatively tried to stand up, and test his wings. Ouch! The dragonling fell down again. Now that action was not going to be repeated again by Harry. In his fall and roll, the fragile bones in his upper right thigh was seriously jarred. And even though in his human form, Harry's upper right thigh was covered with a protective brace, Harry's animagus form was without the benefit of the protective brace. Harry had again injured his upper right thigh. So he couldn't stand up properly.
Okay, calm down. Harry thought. He's tough. He can handle this. Okay! Let's see. His right leg was broken and his right wing was broken. It was in a weird angle and wasn't fit for flight. Okay there's a lake here. Maybe I could properly align my wing again using the water's calm surface to see my reflection.
So Harry half crawled and dragged himself closer to the lake to see his broken wing. Upon reaching the lake and looking at his reflection…
WHAT THE $!***%! What is this! Why was he a little dragonling? He's not supposed to be a little dragon! He was a big dragon! What happened to his scary animagus form. What the hell happened to his spiky tail and tough skin. He was all white and fluffly and CUUUTE! What the crap is this! Okay calm down Harry. This is all just a bad nightmare. SO change back, change back, change back change back. Harry thought. Picture what he used to be. Harry closed his eyes. He has a big spiky tail, He has tough thick skin. He was big! About the size of a two-storey house. When he opens his eyes again. He will be back in his original dragon form. Change back. Change Back. Change back!
Harry opened his eyes again and looked at his reflection. Nothing happened. What was reflected was still the same small white fluffly dragonling as what he saw before. Harry couldn't believe it. This was not happening. This was not happening. Not happening! A nightmare! This was all a bad dream. Not happening. Not real. Not real. Not real!
While Harry was in denial and stuck in his thoughts, a sleek adult green dragon was swooping just above the lake enjoying the sun and calm weather in the Dragon Forest. The green dragon's name was Artemas. This was what he usually did to release some stress. He just had a fight with someone in the clan and was seriously in need to just relax, and he always found the Dragon Forest Lake peaceful and calming. At this time of early morning, there wasn't any dragons and other animals around. So when Artemas saw a little white dragonling. It was strange and he decided to investigate. Maybe scold the little dragonling as to why he was out of bounds and not inside the dragon realm but in the wizard realm, even if it was in the Dragon Forest, where dragons usually frequent in the wizard realm.
When Artemas came down beside the dragonling, he noticed something wrong. The little one was injured. The little ones right wing was in a weird angle and he looked dazed.
Harry was broken out of his thoughts by a gust of wind, that signaled that something landing beside him. It was another dragon. Harry knew that dragons usually leave humans alone, so he shifted back into his little human red-headed form. Harry was hoping that if the dragon saw that he was really a wizard, it would leave him alone. After all dragons aren't interested in dealing with humans. But Harry was sadly mistaken.
The big powerful green dragon that was Artemas landed. Upon seeing that the dragonling shifted to his human form, Artemas also shifted to his human form. Although in Artemas's opinion, their human forms were highly inelegant. It had its uses. It also helped that sometimes it was more convenient with the hands and all. And while in the wizard realm, it was recommended that they shift to human forms or as close as other magical beings could get to human form. So when the little one shifted into its human form, he also shifted seeing that it was more practical in the wizard realm.
When Harry saw the big green dragon shift into a man with glinting green eyes, he was seriously surprised. Wow! So there are other wizards here that can shift into dragons. This dimension is really strange. In his previous dimension, they said that wizards and witches that have dragons as their animagus form were really rare. And it only happened like once in a hundred years to a chosen wizard or witch. This dimension is really different from his previous one.
The black-haired green-eyed man slowly approached the little boy and crouched down. He put a hand on the little one's broken arm and asked,
"What happened? I'm Artemas, dragonling. Don't be afraid." Artemas was looking at the little one's arm looking at how he could fix it temporarily before taking the little one back to the dragon realm and see a proper healer. Artemas was expecting an answer, so when he received none, he paused in his examination and looked at the little one's face concerned.
Harry was glad that someone was here to help him. Maybe this man could take him back to the Ward Manor which was only a few miles from this forest. So Harry, clumsily took his writing aids around his neck with his left hand and wrote a barely legible message as he was really right-handed.
In the little notebook, a clumsily written message was seen. ("I'm Harry, could you take me back to Ward Manor. I'll point it out to you.")
After barely able to read the message, Artemas glanced back at the little boy who was pointing to the right direction with his left hand with an earnest pleading expression on his face.
"Is your guardian there? He or she shouldn't have left you alone. How about this, I'll leave a message to your guardian while we go back to our home realm and look at that arm of yours with a healer. I'll tell your guardian where we'll be and hell come pick you up there."
Now, Harry was confused. What realm? There are other realms besides the wizard one? What realm is he talking about.
As Harry was about to ask it in his notebook, he unconsciously moved his right arm. It brought out an intense pain, Harry then grabbed his right arm with his left hand and winced. The little pencil was dropped from his left hand in trying to alleviate the pain in his right arm. Harry wasn't feeling so good. He wasn't seriously bleeding from anywhere aside from the few scratches in his tumble, but his right arm really hurts. And it was in a weird angle. His right thigh was also hurting and his vision was fading in and out. Harry felt nauseous and in pain.
Artemas was greatly concerned now at the little boy. The little boy, Harry, was clutching his right arm and his face was scrunched up in pain. The boy was also becoming paler. And judging by how the boy was blinking furiously, Artemas guessed that he wasn't far from loosing his consciousness. The poor boy… Artemas then gently pushed the little boy into a lying position. He noticed also that as he was pushing the boy down, the boy suddenly grabbed his right leg.
"Dragonling, Harry was it?" At Harry's nod, Artemas continued to shift the boy into a more comfortable position, "Okay, that's good Harry. Nod at me, if your right leg is also hurting."
Harry nodded again.
"Okay, let me see. Harry, don't be alarmed okay. I'm just going to look at your leg and see what's wrong. Try not to move. I know some first aid, so I'll try to do what I can."
When Artemas lifted Harry's robe, and looked at his leg. He saw that it was in a protective brace. Meaning that it had already been injured recently. He carefully removed the protective brace. Artemas then blew at his hands emitting blue sparks from his mouth, rubbed his hands together, and placed both hands over the blue and black upper right thigh.
"Harry, its okay. I'm freezing up your leg and arm making it stationary, so that it wouldn't worsen and hurt so much when I move you, okay?" Artemas then again emitted blue sparks from his mouth to his hands and also rubbed it on the right arm.
Harry felt a cooling sensation on his right leg and arm when the man rubbed the blue sparks on his extremities. The man was strange. Harry had never seen magic in this way before. It was strange, but at the same time really fascinating. It was also helping alleviate the pain that he was feeling on his arm and leg. But he was still concerned about the weird angle his right arm was in. Harry knew how to correctly straighten his bones. It was going to be painful, but he knew how to do it as he was a fighter and a budding healer. So after the man did the blue sparks on his right arm, Harry felt up his arm with his left hand to try to fix it into position. He grabbed his right arm with his left, took a deep breath, and gave a great mighty pull.
"Crack!"
Harry's last conscious thoughts were OWWW! But he knew the bones in his right arm wasn't in the wrong position anymore. Then he fell unconscious.
Artemas was startled when he heard the crack. The boy was really brave to do that on his own. How many little dragonlings could straighten their broken bones back into position by themselves? And the boy looked around eight years old. Artemas put the protective brace back on Harry's leg and put both of Harry's arms onto his sides. He shifted back into his dragon form, then he blew light red flames at Harry's body. The flames weren't harmful to little dragonlings and were designed to keep dragonlings warm. He thought to do this so that Harry wouldn't be too cold when they flew back to their home realm. Artemas then placed his hands beneath Harry, carefully lifted the unconscious little boy and put him on his back. Artemas, with a little red-headed boy on his back unconscious, carefully then flew back into the dragon realm. Before entering the dragon realm, he turned to the direction Harry was pointing before and blew a message to the winds to the Ward Manor.
In the Dragon Realm:
When Harry woke up, he was again staring up white ceiling. He guessed that he was again back at St. Mungos. So when he looked around, he was expecting to see the usual St. Mungo one-bed room and a healer waiting for him to wake up. This was not what Harry saw. He was in a big big room. The ceiling was really high up although it was still white, there were several small beds beside his and a curious wide open space with grass on it. It was like a field. Yes, Harry thought disbelievingly, there was big field inside half the white room. And there were dragons inside the room. And the room doesn't have a door. Where was he supposed to exit?
Suddenly, up above, he heard some flapping of powerful leathery wings. When he looked up, the white ceiling disappeared, a big blue dragon then landed on the grassy field space area. The white ceiling then reappeared again when the blue dragon was inside. The blue dragon then turned his glinting gray eyes at Harry and blew green flames at Harry.
Harry as was natural, covered his face with his hands in a defensive position when he saw the green flames approaching him. Harry was expecting to be burned as the green flames engulfed him, but all he felt was tingles over his body, especially around his throat, right arm and thigh. His clothes weren't even singed when the green flames disappeared.
"You're okay now. Harry was it? But you have to stay here in Medhal for a week for further observation. And NO flying for at least a month, you have to let your wings mend naturally. Although your wing is alright now, it is still fragile and not fit for flight. You, little dragonling have some explaining to do." The green dragon spoke.
Harry was yet again startled. The dragons were speaking in English? But wait, if you listen to it closely, it sounded like guttural roars and hissing. Harry knew he was a parselmouth, but this was different. It sounded different. Harry had never heard this kind of language before, yet he understood it. Maybe because he was an animagus dragon?
"Well, aren't you going to answer me? What happened to you? Why were you in the wizard realm. And who is your guardian? Where do you live so I could also explain your status to your parents." The blue dragon sternly asked.
Harry was confused and bewildered. The dragons have their own language? And how was he supposed to answer the dragon, when he was temporarily mute. So Harry, pointed at his throat, and shook his head.
"What kind of excuse is that? You little dragonling have no excuse. You know that you can answer me telepathically." The blue dragon scolded.
"Like this." Harry then heard the blue dragon's voice inside his head.
Harry was becoming more bewildered. Telepathically? Harry thought. Is this like legilimency? But it didn't feel the same, it wasn't as intrusive. What is happening?
At the continued stern look of the dragon directed towards him, Harry tried to talk telepathically.
"I'm sorry?" Harry directed his thoughts to the dragon, hoping that the dragon could hear it.
"What do you mean you're sorry? Now, little dragonling, just answer my question. Again who is your guardian or your parents for that matter? And where do you live?"
Harry knew he was in a lot of trouble. Wait, what time was it? When Harry looked at his wrist watch, it was already 8pm. Uh Oh! He was really in a lot of problem. Uncle Sirius is toast when Mom founds out he lost me.
"Little Dragonling! I am still waiting for your answer."
Oops! Harry forgot that the green dragon was still waiting for his answer. And with that giant green form, Harry felt all the more smaller. The dragon could easily hold Harry in his hands and squeeze him to death. And the dragon had sharp teeth, the dragon could also just kill him with one bite of its jaws.
"Uncle Sirius Black is my guardian for today. And umm, I live at Godric's Hollow at Potter's Place. You could it access it with the floo." Harry timidly answered with his mind.
"Now don't get smart with me. Where is your address here in our home realm. Godric's Hollow is in the wizard realm. Where is your address in the Dragon Realm." The green dragon replied.
Now Harry was feeling like he was in the twilight zone. There's a dragon realm? What? There are various realms besides the wizard one? At the scary look of the dragon, Harry tried to explain.
"But I live in the wizard realm. I'm a wizard! See look human, me wizard." Harry then pointed at himself.
"You young dragonling are not funny." The blue dragon then shifted into a white clad woman with long black hair and glinting blue eyes. (Dragons have metallic color themed eyes)
"All dragons can shift into human forms! Now where is your house? What's the address?" The woman now scolded Harry in English.
"But, But its true! I'm a wizard and my animagus form is a dragon." Harry mentally explained.
"Yes, Yes! And I'm chopped liver! Young Dragonling, you know that there's no wizard that can shift into magical beings. You are a Dragonling, now where do you live?" The woman informed Harry.
"But! I'm honestly a wizard. See, my parents are James and Lily Potter. They're also wizards. You could check with the Britain MOM. They're legally registered with the Ministry of Magic(MOM). Honest. And I'm Harry Lillian Potter. See." Harry then showed the woman his gold bracelet with his full name on it.
"Okay dragonling, calm down. But you know, that only dragons can enter the dragon realm. Wizards cannot enter in our home realm. And that is a fact! You are a dragonling." The woman reasoned out.
"I know! You could get, umm… Arte Arte Arte-something! The dragon that brought me here. He told me that he'll tell my guardian at Ward Manor where I am. Uncle Sirius is there and so is Aunt M and they know me since birth. They could tell you." Harry determinedly sent through his mind.
In the middle of Harry and the woman's argument, a green dragon landed beside the woman.
The woman looked at the green dragon and said, "Artemas! Maybe you could explain to me, what is happening. Have you met the guardians of Harry?"
Artemas then replied in dragon language, "Well, yes I met this Sirius Black person. And he is definitely not a dragon. The wizard was demanding to see Harry. And when I told the wizard that he was in our realm. He couldn't believe it. Apparently, he had no knowledge that Harry is a dragonling and is adamant that Harry is a wizard and cannot be in the Dragon Realm. Then this witch, Morgana Ward told us that she had pictures that could prove that Harry is a wizard. The pictures were then brought out by their son, Salm Black. It showed Harry here when he was still a baby right after birth in St. Mungos. Then the wizards called in Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter. Then the parents wanted Harry back. Lily, the witch mother was even pleading with me. I am confused myself at what is happening. I have already brought this information up to the clan heads and they are deliberating as we speak. The clan heads wanted me to bring Harry to them, because apparently the wizard MOM had proof that Harry is a wizard."
As Harry listened to Artemas, he grew nervous. He was going to meet a bunch of dragon clan heads. Just how many clan heads exactly are there? One dragon was intimidating enough!
The white clad woman then shifted back into a blue dragon, and proclaimed in dragon language, "I, Calandra of Astra clan, am also going with you. The dragonling is still not well and is not fit to fly. I will carry him on my back. You lead the way, Artemas."
The blue dragon then turned to Harry. "Come dragonling and climb on my back. I will accompany you to the clan heads."
As Harry climbed on Calandra, the blue dragon's back, he had a sinking feeling that this meeting with clan heads will not go well. Just what is happening? Harry thought to himself, things in this dimension is definitely weird. First he had parents, then he had siblings. Uncle Sirus got busy, Snape was married. House elves are big. The dragons apparently can all turn into humans. There was a dragon realm. Just what the hell is happening? When Harry, Calandra and Artemas was outside the white room. They exited by flying out, where the ceiling disappeared and reappeared again when they were outside, if you must know. Harry felt even more bewildered as he saw the outside. The white room was situated over a mountain, where there were also a dozen more white rooms of similar design on various other mountains. Each white room had Medhal and a relative number written on the roof. The mountains formed the Medhal Mountain Range. And when Harry and company was beyond Medhal, the land beyond was mostly composed of more and more mountains with caves and various big houses on it where the only flat lands were the small valleys in between the mountains. The trees were all taller than the mountains reaching towards the skies. And if you look closely, there were dragons perched on the humongous trees' branches. All kinds of dragons of different sizes and colors were also flying around the sky. This was the first time that Harry had seen so many dragons in one place. Dorothy was definitely not in Kansas anymore.
