Chapter 01
Reviews:
TwinstarDragon: 1) glad you enjoyed the prologue, wait and see. 2) yes, he is. I actually left a hint in the prologue. 3) thank you for not spoiling it for others that haven't seen it, yet. Yes, it will, as he's essentially redoing his childhood at the dursleys, but with less beatings and a larger bedroom. Hmm, shapeshifting magic could work. But the takeover magic is a no-go. I already have a pairing in mind for harry. They likely will be sibling figures. Harry having a mother figure at this point will likely just cause him harm. After all, he's had no mother since lily died. If anything, the one that teaches him his magic will be closer to a mother for him. She won't have any magic, aside from limited shapeshifting magic. She will likely be a holder type. Here's the next chapter.
Previously:
Harry woke up. He felt that his body was a lot smaller than it was. He felt around his body, and saw that he saw six years old, again. Harry then saw what was on his wrists: oddly shaped cuffs, with a large orb on a side of each.
Now:
"Get moving, brat," a guard ordered harry, before harry felt coming from his back. "Argh," harry said, as he knelt to the ground in pain. The routine went like this: wake up, work, feel pain when not moving fast enough for them, lunch around noon, more work, go back into the cage with the others after sunset. Talk a bit with the others, sleep. Repeat the next day.
After a few years of this treatment, harry made a friend in a little girl with red hair, named erza. She didn't have a last name, until jellal gave her the last name of 'scarlet' on account of her hair color. "So, what would you children like to hear of, today?" an elderly man asked the children. Their answer? Fairy tail.
So, the old man, rob, told stories about fairy tail, as well as their never-ending quest to find out the truth about whether or not if fairies actually HAVE tails. The children laughed at that. It was during times like this, that harry made another friend, named simon.
Two years later
Harry was in the cage, away from the other children, as he was particularly sore from the beatings he got this day. Harry noticed a sound near him. He heard a hissing noise. §who's there?§ harry called out. That got the attention of the others in the cell with him, from erza and simon to rob. They heard a hissing outside of the cage. §i'm here, speaker§ a female voice hissed out, before a purple snake came into the cage, causing the other children to freak out a bit, but rob looked on with interest. §hello there, beautiful§ harry complimented the snake. If the snake could blush, it would've. §who are you?§ the snake asked. §my name, before i came to this world, was harry potter. But, seeing as i'm starting anew in THIS world, my name will be cobra§ cobra introduced himself to the snake.
With the others in the cage
They watch the sole kid over there actually speak with a snake, by actually hissing.
"What is that kid doing?" one asked. "Interesting," rob said. The children looked at him. What is, uncle rob?" erza asked. "That child appears to have the oh-so-very-rare magical ability to speak with snakes," rob said. The other children were surprised.
With cobra
§Would you like to be my friend?§ cobra asked the snake. §yes, cobra, i would§ the snake answered. Cobra put his arm down if front of the snake, and the snake curled up his forearm.
With the others
"Well, it looks like the child has a new friend," rob said. Erza smiled, and said "that's nice." "yes, it is," simon said. Rob stood up and walked over to cobra and his new friend.
With cobra
§would you like a name?§ cobra asked his new friend, as he scratched under her chin. §yes, please, cobra§ the snake answered. §how about 'cubelios'?§ cobra asked. §i love it,§ cubelios said, and gave him a lick on the cheek. "Hello, child," a voice said. Cobra and cubelios looked at the source of the voice.
It was rob.
"Why don't you two come and join us?" rob proposed. "Ok," cobra said shyly, as he was never one for crowds. You can blame his childhood with his 'loving' relatives, as well as his years at that damn school. Cobra slowly got up and stumbled over to the rest of the group, before he started to fall, with erza catching him. "Thanks, erza," cobra said, as she slowly put him on the floor.
"You're welcome…" erza realized something. "Erm, what's your name? You still haven't told me or simon, yet," she said. "Ah, right," cobra thumped his forehead at his forgetfulness. "My name is cobra, erza," cobra introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, cobra," erza said, before she gave him a gentle hug. Cobra jumped at the action, as he'd never had a hug before (not that he remembered). Erza noticed, hugged him a bit tighter. Seeing no other option available to him, without breaking the heart of the girl, cobra simply gave a clumsy hug to erza in return.
Erza noticed it was clumsy. Does he not know what a hug is, or does he expect only pain? Erza thought to himself.
A month later
Cobra and erza are now 9 yrs old.
The children decided to perform a rebellion. It was going somewhat well. However, at the end, one of the guards decided to use a lethal magic blast. His targets? Cobra, who was on his knees in exhaustion, and erza, who decided to help him up. Seeing that two of the kids was going to be killed, rob put himself in front of the blast, his back facing them. "Remember, erza, cobra, what this symbol on my back means…
Flashback, about a week ago
"Children, come here," rob called out. The children gathered in front of uncle rob. "Know this, my children: with the rebellion that we'll do, there is a good chance that i may not get out of here alive," rob explained. The children started to have tears in their eyes. "One way or another, we will ALL be free of this hell," rob promised.
Back to now
After the blast was finished, it appeared as though rob was falling apart. "Remember these two things, erza, cobra: first: i will always watch over you." erza and cobra started to cry. "Second: this symbol on my back, is the mark of fairy tail. The one rule above all others in the guild, is that the guild treats each other like friends, and family," rob told them, the cracks on his body getting larger. Rob then smiled. "Goodbye, my children…" with that, uncle rob literally broke apart and crumbled to dust.
Naturally, this upset the children, but none more so than erza and cobra. Erza and cobra wailed in despair. In their despair, they unlocked their magic. Erza had telekinesis, which she used to pick up all loose inorganic items: cuffs, loose rubble, shovels, you name it. If it was there, she brought it to her. Cobra began leaking a dark, fluid miasma.
One of the guards decided to try his luck and picked cobra up. That was a ba~d mistake. Cobra grabbed the wrist of the guard, and the guard began to spasm, dropping cobra. The guard had a deep purple discoloration running rather quickly up his arm, before it reached his heart. The guard was dead in moments.
Erza killed a bunch of the guards with the items that she launched, until one of the guards tried to shoot her from range. Cobra quickly tackled her out of the way, but she was still hit. Thankfully, she only lost her left eye. "Thanks, cobra," erza thanked one of her only friends.
"No problem, erza," cobra said. "Get the other children out of here, i'll stall them until you get them out, then i'll unleash my magic," cobra ordered erza. "No, i'm staying here," erza protested. Cobra grabbed her shoulders and looked into her remaining eye. "Erza! Two things. First: we ARE going to escape, like uncle rob wanted us to, so the two of us can go to fairy tail," cobra said. Erza nodded at that. "Second, do you want THAT to happen to either you or the other children?" cobra pointed at the guard he killed with his poison.
Erza paled at that. She realized that cobra was trying to protect her and the other children. "Alright, but you better make it out alive, you hear me?!" erza practically ordered cobra. "*chuckle*, yes ma'am," cobra said.
Erza had an urge to do something, so she decided to do it. She kissed his cheek, shocking cobra. Erza turned around, so he wouldn't see her red face. "For luck," she said. She then ran off to gather the children, to get them out of there.
Cobra then put his years at that damn school to use, mostly taunting, throwing stuff at the guards, and dodging the magic blasts. Once cobra noticed that the other children were gone, he unleashed his magic in full, poisoning everyone in most of the tower. He then went to the core of the tower, and rigged it to blow (he became slightly handy with electronics whenever his cousin decided to break things. He figured that it was the same way, here).
He was nearly out of the tower, when it blew, sending him flying, knocking him unconscious once he hit the water. He was alone, once again (he'd practically ordered cubelios to go with erza a week before the rebellion started, as his way to protect her).
After a day of floating in the ocean, he hit land. A person noticed his arrival. They then picked cobra up and took him to their base.
With erza, after she left the tower, but was still at the docks
Erza was impatiently waiting for her best friend to come out of the building. After waiting for what felt like hours, the building exploded, scaring all of us. Cubelios had to hold her back from going back in there, with tears in her eyes, in a futile attempt to save one of the only friends she'd ever had. Seeing it was futile, erza simply turned and hugged cubelios, crying her eye out.
My friend was gone.
With cobra
Cocobra groaned in pain. His chest was hurting and wrapped in bandages, for some reason. "Ah, good, you're awake, young man," a voice said. Cobra weakly turned to the voice, and saw a doctor. "Good, it looks like you survived the implementation," the dr said.
"Implementation?" cobra asked.
"Indeed. I decided to put a lacrima into your body. But not just any lacrima. It is a lacrima of poison dragon slayer magic," the dr exclaimed with a gleeful look on his face. Seeing his face like that scared cobra, so he unleashed his natural poison magic, killing the dr, then cobra ran.
After days of running, i end up going into a cave. After going inside and collapsing against the wall, i started to catch my breath. §well, now, this is a surprise§ a female voice said. Cobra weakly stood up, in order to attempt to defend himself. However, what shocked him was that the source of the voice was a dragon with deep purple scales.
§who are you?§ cobra asked. §i am shinor, young human. And i am a poison dragon,§ shinor introduced herself.
§a poison dragon?§ cobra asked in wonder. §can you please help me master my magic?§ cobra asked shinor. §hmm, i never thought about taking on a student, but i will do so. I will help you master both my magic, even if it's artificially obtained, and your natural magic. With my help, your artificially obtained magic will become your real magic, in addition to your natural magic§ shinor said.
§thank you, shinor§ cobra said. §you are welcome, youngling. Now, you must rest and heal. For tomorrow, we will begin your training§.
Two years later
Healing from what that quack did to cobra was EXTREMELY painful. However, the pain was gone in the morning. The morning after he healed, shinor began to teach him. The FIRST thing she taught cobra was how to make his magic non-lethal. After all, it wouldn't do to kill a friend in a friendly spar. After that, the REAL training hell began. Cobra was panting on the ground, exhausted. §what are you doing, cobra? It's not time for you to rest, yet§ shinor lectured him.
§yes, ma§ cobra complained.
That was another thing that happened over the two years after stumbling (literally) into her cave: he started to see shinor as a mother, and shinor thought the same of cobra. She thought of him as her son. §come on, cobra, one more time§ shinor coaxed cobra.
"Poison dragon's ROAR!" cobra roared poison, and it was stronger than the last one (imagine natsu's roar, just replace the fire with poison). §good job, son. You finally managed to get the basic roar down§.
§thanks, ma§ cobra said, before he collapsed on the floor of the sighed. §well, he mastered most of the basic dragon slayer magic,§ shinor said. Seeing as it was almost time to leave her child like igneel, metalicanna and grandeeny, she decided to leave her son two gifts made of her own scales.
