Chapter Five: Enter King Dragon
Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his office at Hogwarts, looking over all the notes he had recived from the Order about the missing children. They haven't seen or heard a word from them. He looked at Fawkes and saw that he was sleeping. He was very worried about the children: a short time after Harry had disappeared, Ron and Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger disappeared from the Grimmauld place. Then Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom disappeared that same day from their homes. Molly Weasley saw a white flash of light and so did Neville's grandmother, but other than that no one had seen them, and nobody had even the faintest idea as to where they were. He sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. A black flash appeared in his office: his eyes shot open and he pointed his wand at the person in question. He saw young woman with brown hair: she had on a black dress with a white rose in the middle of it.
"How did you get in here?" he asked her as he got up from his chair.
The young woman's dark green eyes just looked at him, and then before he knew what happening his wand was out of his hand and in hers. The headmaster was dumbstruck.
She just giggled at him.
"As you can see, Mr. Dumbledore, my power outdoes yours, and from what I see in front of me, I can see why Harry wanted to leave you all," she told him in a voice laced with malice.
The headmaster shook his head, then looked up at the young woman in front of him.
"I'm sorry, young lady, but did you just say Harry wanted to leave us"
The young woman, who had been gazing around the headmaster's office, simply nodded her head.
"I see, so you're the one that took him and the others," the headmaster said in a calm voice; he could tell that this woman was a person you wanted on your side, and certainly not someone you would have wanted as an enemy.
The young woman just laughed a little and sat down in a chair facing the old wizard.
"It wasn't me, Mr. Dumbledore, but I know who it was."
The headmaster thought about what she had said, and closed his eyes.
"This young woman mush have some great power to just appear in my school, and then talk about the children with like she know what was going on; I think it would be best for me to find out what information I can about this," he thought
He reopened his eyes and saw that the young woman was petting Fawkes.
"Miss, I just need to know if you have information on where the children are and if they are alright?" He asked her with the nicest voice her could.
"All the information you need is in the note on your desk" she replied without looking at him.
The headmaster looked at his desk and saw a note rolled with a black bow. He picked it up, opened it, and started to read it's contents.
Dear Mr. Dumbledore,
I'm writing this to you to inform you that Harry and his friends are alright, and are getting training that they need. I will say that I'm not very happy with the people of your school or world for putting Harry thought all that, and with no one to help him. As for the other children, I will say that it could have been very bad if they haven't been taken with Harry. For where they are is not much important to you at this time. The Children will be returned to you when school starts. If you wish to meet me in person just tell my daughter, and she will let me know. Thank you for your time, and stop looking for them!
King Dragon
Albus look up from the note, and saw that the young woman was still sitting in the chair in front of his desk again.
"So your father is the one that took them, and from this note I can see that they are alright and will be back with us when school starts, is that about right?" he asked her.
She just smiled at him, and nodded again.
"I think I would like to meet your father, and soon"
The young woman just grinned and closed her eyes.
"Father, the dumb wizard would like to talk to you soon, say in about two hours, and I have a feeling that he will not be alone, hehehehe, this should be fun" she mentally told him. She reopened her eyes and saw a confused looking wizard.
"My father will be here in two hours," she told him while getting up and walking over to the window to wait for her father.
"I see, then would you please wait here; I need to inform some people that their children are alright," The headmaster said, getting up, and disappearated to Grimmauld place.
The young woman just looked out the window, and now knew how Harry and his friends felt. "Well, my children, I say that this school year will be fun, and very different in a lot of different ways, and more so with you my dear Harry," she thought with a grin.
Mrs. Weasley was cooking some lunch for herself when a popping sound came from behind her. She turned around and saw the headmaster standing there.
"Ablus, what are you doing here?" she asked him.
"Molly, get the Order; I have news," he told her with a calming voice.
Molly nodded and hurried off to get everyone. Ablus sat at the head of the table and waited. After a while Severus, Arthur, Remus, Tonks, and the rest of the Weasley family walked in the kitchen and took a seat.
"Thank you for all coming. You see I have some news, and yes it about the children"
Everyone apart from Severus started to talk with one-another. Thehead master put his hands up to stop the talking.
Remus was the first to ask. "Headmaster, are they alright"
The headmaster just looked at everyone and nods.
"Yes, Remus, the children are alright, at least from what I can tell. I was given this note by someone called 'King Dragon'," he told them and passed the note around the table.
"But why would the person take the children? What training do they need that they can't get at Hogworts?" asks Arthur hold a crying Molly.
"That is very good question, and I hope to get that answer and mean more when I meet with him in an hour"
The Head Master looks around the table and saw a collection of very worried faces.
"Well I for one am going to give this 'King Dragon' person a piece of my mind for taking my children away with out asking," said Molly, getting upset.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"Now, Molly, we can't just walk up to him and start yelling at him. From the way his daughter acted when I met with her, I would say that he is just as powerful as I am, if not more so, and I would rather have him on our side than Voldemort's"
"I would have to agree, headmaster; I believe that we need to know more and then act. As for the Dark Lord, he is getting angrier by the day because he can not feel Mr. Potter's presence anymore," Severus spoke for the first time in along time.
"Well it's about time: we should all get back to the castle," the headmaster said to them.
They all nod and disapperate tojust outside of the Hogwarts grounds.
As they walked along the grounds, the wind started to pick up, and dark clouds began to form. Everyone looked up and saw that a thunderstorm had formed above them. Lighting hit the ground near them: someone screamed, though no one could tell who.
"No one move!" yelled a woman's voice.
Everyone looked over to the castle and saw the young woman that had been in the headmaster's office earlier that day. They just stood still as she walked over to them.
"We should get inside; it's not safe out here," Mr.Weasley said to everyone.
The brown haired lady just looked at them: the expression on her face showed that they were not going anywhere.
"You are going to stay where you are if you want to live," she told them with an icy edge to her voice.
Severus looked at this young woman and grinned; she looked looked right back at him and laughed.
"Little girl, who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?" he sneered and started to walk to the castle. He walked right past her and as he did he could hear her voice.
"Mr. Snape, my father is not happy about this," she told him.
Serverus stopped and looked at her back. The wind was making her hair fly around.
"I don't care who your father is, a child does not talk to me like that" he snapped and continued walking.
A big thunder-clap came from the storm: everyone but the brown haired woman and Severus looked up and saw the clouds move apart. Severus didn't care about what was going on, but then he ran into something hard and fell over.
Everyone was in shock, well other than the young lady, who was just grinning and seemed on the verge of laughter.
Snape looked up ready to kill who ever was in his way, but what he saw was not a person. He saw two red glowing eyes and a very sharp set of teeth. He started to move back: whatever it was, the thing was a massive, whith black scales and red eyes… it was a dragon.
The dragon stayed where it was, still glaring down at Snape, who had enough arrogance to glare straight back at it. The brown-haired woman ran over to the dragon and, to everyone else's utter shock, hugged it.
"Father, I'm so happy that you made it; these people were just coming back, and this man said I was a child," she told.
"I hear every word my daughter, but this is the same man that was supposed to help Harry with his occlumency so that he could shield himself from Voldemort," the Dragon said.
Everyone was still in shock, no one moved. The father and daughter looked at all of them and stated to laugh.
"Father, I would say that you need to turn into a human, but before you do could you make shure that he never calls me a child again" the brown hair lady asked sweetly, pointing over at Snape.
The dragons just laughed at his daughter's face, nodded its head, moved it very long tail around Severus and threw the unsuspecting man into the black lake. Then a black flame starts to come from the dragon, and changes in to a tall man with a long black hair, who was dressed in a wizard's robe that was covered in symbols of ancient writing: there was what looked like a black dragon within the writing. He walked over to them, and smiled slightly, though it didn't reach his eyes.
"So this is the Order of the Phoenix; I must say that I'm not impressed," he sneered as his faux smile melted away.
Dumbledore was the first to speak. He walked over to the man and offered him his hand.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, I'm the headmaster of this school, Albus Dumbledore"
The black haired man took the man hand and shook it.
"My name is Dahaka, and you have already met my daughter Kaida. Don't bother with the introductions either; I know who you all are.
"Now what would you like to talk to me about?" he said getting right to the point.
"Yes, it would seem that we do not feel right with the fact you have our children," the headmaster told him.
The dragon king looked around all the others that where present, and then back to the headmaster.
"I'm sorry that you all feel that way, but your children made up their minds to stay with us. They will be return to you the day school starts"
"I want my children back right now! And for Heaven's sake, you will bring them back now," yelled a red haired woman, who had walked up to him with a fire in her eyes.
"Listen here lady, my father knows what he is doing, unlike you guys; he is going to help Harry the right way, and his friends too," said Kaida, stepping up to Mrs.Weasley.
"What do you know about children; you are just a child yourself," Molly was almost yelling at the girl.
"I have children and I know more about them then you could ever hope to with your own children"
"I gave birth to two of them, and I feel that Harry and Hermione are one of my own even if I didn't give birth to them, so they are my children"
"If you know them so well then why didn't you see that Harry's mind was going the wrong way? Why didn't you see that your children's magic was changing? If you're so good at being a mother then why didn't you see that Harry is not a toy you play with; he need to trust people, and you didn't do a good job at that did you, any of you"
This hit home, Molly didn't say a word for a while. "What do you mean Harry's mind was going the wrong way, and what about my children's magic changing?" she asked, a little shocked at this news. Her husband walked over to her and moves her aside.
"Well, those are good questions; maybe you could answer those, Mr.Bahamut?" asked Remus as he walked up to him and held out his hand.
"Oh, you must be Remus Lupin. As for your questions, I'm sorry but I can not give you answers you like; I'm here to tell you that your children are alright and will return to you when school starts, and don't be scared if they act or seem different," he told Remus as he shook the other man's hand.
"Well, it seems to me that there is nothing we could say to change you mind," Dumbledore sighed.
Dahaka shock his head and looked at everyone.
"I'm very sorry, but I have to look out of those young people" he told him.
"Before I go, could I have word Mr. Lupin?" he asked as he walked away from all of them.
Lupin just nodded and followed him to the other side of the grounds away from everyone, though his daughter was just behind them. They stopped next to the gates, where the king turned and faced Remus.
"Mr. Lupin, I'm sorry to say this but with the children training and everything, I feel that they will all feel alone when the return, Harry moreso than anyone else"
"What are you trying to say?" asked Remus.
"I need you to come back with us in a month's time, to help them, and to also train with them and understand what they are going through."
Remus didn't know what to say. Finally he closed his eyes and then reopened them.
"Why me?" he replied.
The dragon king laughed a little at the man and then looked him in the eyes.
"The children trust you, and from what I hear Harry liked you as teacher, as did his friends, all you have to say is yes or no"
Remus thought about it and knew that if he could help Harry then there was know way he was going to let him down.
"Alright; I'll do it," he replied.
"Thank you, we will see you in one month," Dahaka said and disappeared along with his daughter.
Remus just looked back at the school then walked back to everyone else. When he got back to them, he told then what had happened. After he told them this he disapperated back to the Grimmauld place and fell asleep.
The others did the same and waited for there children to return to them. Everyone was worried, but they all knew that there was nothing that they could do but to wait it out.
Harry woke up the next morning when the sun started to rise. He got up and looked out of the window. He was to begin his training that day, and he could only hope that he was doing the right thing. As he looked out the window, his friends were doing and thinking pretty much the same thing as he was.
Dahaka and his daughter appeared and walk towards the ancient looking castle.
"Father, are they going to be alright?" she asked with a worried voice.
He looked down at her and smiled.
"It will be hard on all of them, more on Harry then anyone, but with time and help they will understand, and I have a feeling that she will help Harry the most, even if he doesn't know it," he told her.
She just nodded and looked towards the sunrise, thoughts swimming through her mind.
"My children, I will be looking out for all of you. I pray that you will be safe when training and know that I love you"
