The dragon King

2

'Ron look! He's opening his eyes!' The bed sunk a little on Harry's left side. Harry groaned and pushed himself on his elbows. He inhaled sharply. 'Ow!' My back hurts, he thought. His elbows wobbled and he quickly sat up on his knees. He grabbed his head, spinning a little from sitting up too fast.

'Slowly Harry. Here, drink some water,' Hermione said and handed him a glass of water. Harry took the glass and drank it empty in one go. 'More.' Ron took the glass from his hands and exclaimed 'Yes, sir,' and snickered as he walked to the tap. That starteled something in Harry and he rose. 'Excuse you?' Harry said in a cold voice, his eyes lighting up bright green with purple sparks. Ron turned back to Harry, and dropped to the ground, confusion written all over his face. Wow, did I just do that? Harry asked himself in the back of his head. 'My deepest apologies, Sire. Forgive me,' Ron stuttered. Harry's eyes turned normal again and he sat down. Hermione had watched it all with big eyes.

'Sire?' Hermione said questioning. Harry turned his head slowly towards her and answered 'Yes. You shall adress me with Harry, but any outsiders or traitors will adress me with Sire, Hermione. You see, I have inherited the Name of King of Normandy of the Bordeaux family, now that dragon blood flows through me.' He looked around the room cautiously and sat up straight. 'Now, could you tell me where we are and what the hell happened last night?'

'Well, all I could do was guess, Harry,' Hermione began. When she saw the unamused look on Harry's face she quickly continued: 'Alright, we're at Grimmauld place 12, house of the Black family, Sirius' house that is. Uhm, let's see.. You slept for a week, actually, and in the meantime we all took turns watching over you, so Ron and I, Ginny, the twins, Sirius, Remus. Even Snape sat here one day. Uhm... You have grown a lot while you were out, I think you're about two meters tall now. Your eyes are super green now, like newly sprouted grass. Oh, and I see some purple and blue spots in there too. And two nights you were screaming quite loud, so of course everyone rushed over here to see what was going on, and you were growing wings and claws I think. You ripped up the bed and the sheeds, but we repaired them. Even though they're retracted right now, your claws and wings, Harry... Your wings are soo pretty! Blue and grey and so shiny!'

During Hermione's explaination Ron carefully and slowly joined them on the bed and handed Harry the glass of water. The last part of Hermione's explaination made Harry smirk. 'Are they really that pretty, you think? Then it should do the trick for my mates as well.' My mates, Harry thought, I have to find them.

'Harry, what do you mean, mates? All creatures with inheritance only have one mate,' Hermione asked with confusion. Harry looked her decisive in her eyes and said, 'Two souls, I can feel them. They're content right now. I want them happy. I want them.'

Hermione looked at Harry in awe and felt touched. 'That's so sweet Harry.' Harry smiled again and his stomache rumbeled. 'I think we should get you some food, Sire,' Ron said with his head low. Harry noticed that Ron was being very carefull and told Ron 'Call me Harry, but don't anger me again. Let's go get some food.'

The three of them walked down the stairs and Harry picked up a sweet scent. 'Is your mother baking again, Ron?' He sniffed the air. 'Mm bacon, eggs, toast, muffins, fresh roses on the table, Doxy's in the curtains on the fifth floor, Hermione's new perfume, Ron's morning breath. Ew Ron, brush your teeth.' Hermione laughed and Ron stormed upstairs, his ears going red. He also picked up some other scent, but he couldn't make up what it was.

Once they settled themselves at the table, they were greeted by Mrs. Weasley with a big smile on her face. 'Oh Harry, how good to see you well again. How is that back of yours now dear?' Miss Weasley said as she put two plates filled with food in front of Harry and Hermione. 'Good morning Miss Weasley. My back is a little sore, but it'll pass, thank you.' Harry and hermione started eating and Harry finished his plate within minutes. 'Miss Weasley, could I have some more of those muffins,' Harry asked. A 'of course dear' floated out of the kitchen, with six more muffins on a plate, which landed in front of Harry and Hermione. Then Ron joined them and also took a plate filled with food from his mother.

'So, when will we go to Diagon ally?' Harry asked. Hermione exchanged a look with Ron before saying, 'We already went, Harry. We bought you your supplies as well because Dumbledore asked us to come two weeks before school starts, they're in my room. There was a tiny problem, though. When we asked to take some money from your vault, the goblins said that your vault didn't exist anymore, so I bought your supplies with my money, but no worries. Though, I don't understand, you don't have a vault anymore?'

'Hermione, I will pay you back so tell me how much. And secondly, I have the vault of the Bordeaux family now, I inherited it along with the blood and the name,' Harry explained as he finished the last one of the muffins. 'If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to take a shower. My back is very itchy.'

Harry went upstairs to his room, and wondered what he would look like, now that he got his inheritance. He would at least be a bit taller than his mates, and have more masculine features. Once in his room, he went to the bathroom and got undressed. He turned on the shower and let the water get warm. Then, he turned to the mirror to examine his looks. Wow, he thought. His eyes were indeed bright green, like an explosion of colour with little spots of blue and purple here and there. His jawline was very sharp, and he looked a bit more royal now. He smiled at himself, and saw that his teeth had gotten more sharp as well. It looked like.. like he had, fangs? Then he looked down at his body. It had gotten more muscular, his shoulders were wide. So I can better protect my mates. His mates. Mine.

He stepped under the hot beam of water, and washed all the dirt from the wing growing off his body and relaxed as he tought of his mates.

Mine.
