Harry Potter: I Am a Dragon

Chapter 14: 14



 There was a deathly silence in our compartment. The girls were thinking about what had happened last night. For them, a challenge in the war between the faculties was a very serious event. Such wars can last for generations, a vivid example of this being Gryffindor and Slytherin.

 I was thinking about how to start my main goal in this world. I needed people to carry out my ideas. Dumbledore was a good politician, of course, but even he wasn't all-powerful. I would need to talk to Edward and finally create my own cult.

 With these thoughts in mind, we arrived at the station in London. The girls were met by their fathers, and I was met by Lily, who threw herself into my arms. Then Edward and Luna's father approached us.

"Hello, Edward, I would like to talk to you this week. I have something to discuss with you. 

"Of course, thank you for looking after my daughters. Let's arrange a meeting via owl. Daphne, Astoria, let's go." Edward was his usual self, stern and taciturn in public.

 Now Luna's father approached us. He was a tall blond man with hair down to his back. He was wearing a yellow shirt with palm trees and a brown jacket. On his feet were rabbit slippers and shorts. As far as I could tell, Mr. Lovegood was the chief editor of a fairly young but well-known newspaper called The Quibbler.

"Oh, Mr Potter, we haven't met. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Xenophilius Lovegood. You can always count on me and my newspaper. It is an honour to help the Son of the Three Great Wizards! I spoke to one of your mothers when she first came to our world in my daughter. 

"I'm glad to hear it. I'd like to meet with you for an important discussion. How about tomorrow? If you don't mind, we can meet at your place.

"I'm all for it. Now we have to go. Come on, my little witch." He said, taking Luna by the hand and leaving.

 I was about to teleport home with Lily when I heard screams from the crowd, and several people were already approaching us.

"You did this to my son! You worthless boy! After everything we've done for you! You've hurt Ron!" A woman who looked to be about fifty, with brown eyes and red hair, rushed at me. She was wearing a purple jacket and a green skirt.

"I'll get you! I'll cripple you myself for my Ron!" - With these words, she took her wand out of her pocket, which flew out of her hands in the next second.

"Long time no see, Molly, the years haven't been kind to you," said Lily, pointing her wand at Molly. "If you ever go near my son again..." She said this with a sneer; we hadn't called each other mother and son for a long time. "I'll deal with you myself. And believe me, you won't get away with just a broken arm, like your son did."

"Yes, I... I'll report you to the Auror! They won't let this go!" - That was the last argument from the Weasley matriarch.

"Let's call them right now. I think they'll be interested in the fact that you used amormentia, which you tried so hard to slip me several times through birthday and Christmas presents. I think a couple of years in Azkaban are guaranteed for you.

 At my words, Molly turned pale and hurried away from us. 

 Taking Lily by the hand, I transported us home, where I was embraced in a strong hug. I began to partially transform into a dragon, my shoulders broadening, breaking free from the gentle embrace, now towering over Lily, looking down at her from above. I reached for her lips. My arms gently embraced the girl's waist, moving lower and lower. Horns grew out of my head, one pair pointing upwards, the other touching my shoulders, sharp claws cutting through the fabric of her clothes, freeing the girl from them.

"Maybe you are an incubus after all? You seduced your mother, and now several other girls are chasing after you.

"Don't compare me to those lowly demons. Dragons have a libido hundreds of times higher.

"And when will your... libido kick in? You can't survive on caresses alone.

"Wait another year, and your body will mature." I said, covering Lily's mouth with a kiss...

 The next day, I travelled through the fireplace to the Lovegoods' house, where I was greeted by the owner of the house.

"I am pleased to welcome the Son of Three. What is your request of me? 

"How would you feel about becoming my vassals? I need loyal people who will help me change this world...

"Aldii! You're here!" Luna threw herself at me with hugs and kisses, or rather, it was Fate who sensed me near her disciple.

 Sitting down on a chair with the girl on my lap, I hugged her.

"Mum, don't forget that you're in someone else's body right now, and it looks weird." Contradicting my words, I hugged Destiny tighter, not letting her get away, even though she wasn't trying to.

"Come on, Xenophile doesn't mind... Right, Xenophile?" I struggled to keep from laughing.

"Mistress, I asked you not to call me that." Xenophilus said with a sigh... 

"Why not?" - The girl batted her eyelashes innocently.

"Oh, never mind. I'll leave you two alone." The man said, leaving the room.

"Aldi, we miss you when you're away. When will you come back to us?"

"Another two or three years, and I'll be able to come back to you. I miss you so much," I said, resting my head on the girl's shoulder.

 We sat like that for a few more minutes. I enjoyed having my mother next to me, and Destiny, in the body of Luna, enjoyed having her beloved son next to her.

"Aldi, time is running out. Death and Magic asked me to tell you something..." After these words, she kissed me on the lips, and then the girl's body went limp. Fate left Luna's body, leaving her asleep. 

 I picked up the girl and carried her to her room. When I returned to the living room, Xenophilius was already waiting for me there.

"Is the mistress always like this?

"Fate is blonde, not only in hair colour, but also in nature.

"That explains a lot..." the man said with a sad smile. "Well, anyway, what do you want from me? You mentioned vassalage? 

"Yes, I need people to start changing the world. I need servants of the dragon cult to carry out my will.

"I know that you, Alduin, are the strongest dragon, the god of dragons, so to speak. But what is this dragon cult?

"They are those who carry out my will, and therefore the will of the Three Sisters. I will give you true magic, both human and dragon. I will give you wealth and power. You must help me unite the worlds of mages and ordinary people. You will be obliged to serve me unquestioningly.

 The man rose from his chair and knelt before me on one knee.

"It will be a great honour for me to carry out the will of the Three Great Ones and their Son," said Lovegood.

 After his words, I entered his mind to verify his words. Surprisingly, he was sincere in his words; he was ready to serve me and my mothers.

 I took the poker that was standing by the fireplace, squeezed it, turning it into a ball of metal, which I enveloped in a purple sphere, so that a minute later, the metal mask of Hev The Burrowk flew out of it. It occasionally glowed red, and in some places there were traces of rust caused by its power.

 HevThe Burrowk is a mask of health, strength, and youth. It takes all the illnesses from its owner and transforms magic into life energy. Why do you need a philosopher's stone when you have this mask? 

"Stand up, Xenophilius, take the priest's mask and serve me faithfully!

 Lovegood reaches out his trembling hands to the mask, takes it and puts it on. A few seconds later, a portal opens near us, and a ghost wearing the same mask emerges.

"Master! I have come to train the new priest!" - said the ghost who had been the owner of this mask before Lovegood.

"Fulfill your duty. Pass on all your knowledge to the new priest and teach him the magic of dragons.

"As you command, master," said the ghost, kneeling down.

"Xenophilius, study hard, and when the time comes, you will know." With these words, I teleported home. Now I had to prepare for my conversation with Edward.

 Why did I immediately choose Lovegood as a priest? It's simple: Fate trusts and approves of him, and I have tested his mind. In essence, Lovegood is a fanatic who believes in the Three Sisters. A new day and a new journey through the fireplace network. I appear in the large hall of a sturdy house. I am greeted by the entire Green Grass family. The master of the house and his wife invite me to the table. The girls stand up as usual and follow me.

POV Astoria Green Grass

 Now we were standing by the fireplace at the appointed time, waiting for Alduin. No matter how much I think about him, I cannot understand who he is and what kind of wizard he is. He helped my family, for which we are all grateful to him. In some unknown way, he helped my sister and me get into his faculty, protecting us from Slytherin's attacks. He gave us expensive artefacts to protect us. 

 Looking at my sister, I saw her clenching her fists in impatience. My father and mother were pleased that she had become close to Alduin. They know about his condition and the power we have been able to share. The only thing that worries me is that I constantly feel that Daphne is hiding important information about Alduin from us.

 A flash of green flame emerged, revealing a tall, ash-haired man with red irises. He was dressed in ordinary walking clothes.

 My parents smiled and invited him to join us for dinner, which Alduin accepted. Daphne and I waited for him to go ahead and followed him.

 During dinner, my father and Alduin discussed politics, matters of the magical and Muggle worlds, while I thought about Alduin. No, I don't love him, but he draws me to him, he's like an older brother who can protect and help me if I need it. I already knew he was a great wizard, but I didn't understand why someone with such knowledge had ended up in school...

"Edward, I would like to take a walk with you and talk in private, preferably without any outsiders," said Alduin. At these words, Daphne stopped smiling and looked at her father in alarm. I saw Alduin nod to Daphne and turn away from her.

"Of course, Aldwin. Shall we go to the gardens?"

"Yes, that would be fine." With that, they left the table.

"We should probably go to our room," said Daphne, taking me by the hand and pulling me along. Oh well, no dessert for us.

"Astoria, hurry up and get the amulet, I'll wait for you here. It's very important."

 Hearing my sister's excited voice, I ran to get the amulet without asking any questions. When I returned with it and put it on, I followed Daphne to find my father and Aldwin. We caught up with them in the garden just in time. Hiding in the bushes, we listened.

"The first thing I wanted to discuss is my engagement to Daphne. I want to ask for her hand in marriage.

"Hmm, you know, Al, a year ago, I proposed to her myself. You could say I was ready to sell my daughter, which I am ashamed of now. Now you come and ask for her hand like a normal guy, but I want to punch you in the face. Strange, don't you think?

 Alduin just remained silent, and I looked at my blushing sister. Those who wear these amulets can see each other, which is a very convenient feature.

"But I don't mind, I know you care about her, and she's told me a lot. I can't say I approve of everything, but polygamy has existed before. The main thing is that Daphne is happy.

 My sister relaxed, but her expression didn't change. It was clear that she was pleased with my father's decision. 

"That's not all, I wanted to offer you a position serving me," said Aldwin. I saw my father's mood change. Now he looked like a battle mage, all he needed was armour, a magic wand in one hand and a sword in the other.

"Mr. Potter, are you trying to insult me? I thought we were talking about our family history. We only gave allegiance to kings.

"I'm not talking about vassalage, I'm saying you will obey me. And who said I'm not equal to a king? Perhaps... I am above kings? 

 His father tensed, his hand trembling, ready to grab the wand from his pocket. 

"Let me show you something first? 

 After these words, Alduin looked his father in the eyes, and then Dad fell to his knees, pressing his hands into the ground.

"So, you're a dragon? And not just any dragon. Does Daphne know about this?

"Of course.

"Damn her, she didn't tell me anything.

"By doing so, she saved all of you...

 A dragon? What does that mean? I must find out everything from my sister! How intriguing!

End of Astoria Green Grass's POV

 Why did I start this circus? I need Edward, and Astoria needs to know who I am. Now Daphne can tell her.

"Daphne, you can explain everything to your sister. I think she'll be very interested." I heard a rustling in the bushes, then felt the girls walking away.

"What will your answer be?" I asked Edward.

"Believe me... I gave my daughter to a dragon! I had no choice...

"Even if you had forbidden it, she would still be mine. But I asked about something else.

"You mean becoming a priest? That's hard to believe... Do I have time to think about it?

"Yes, it's not necessary, but I'd be glad if you were on my side.

 I spent the rest of my time at the Green Grasses' house discussing the terms of the engagement with Mrs. Green Grass, who was happy for her daughter. Meanwhile, the head of the family thought about my words and the prospects for this world...
