Somewhere in Romania

When Harry opened his eyes he found himself in a place he never expected. He was laying in the middle of a pen. But more important then that was what was in the pen with him. There was a dragon as well as 4 or 5 eggs. Harry looked at the dragon, which was almost gold in color. It seemed to have glowing sapphire eyes. The dragon stared at him for a while before speaking. "Tell me human what are you doing with in my enclosure?" the dragon asked in a rather feminine voice.

"You can talk?" Harry asked looking at the dragon not realizing that he had just spoken the same language as dragons. The dragon however did and looked at him oddly.

"Child have you come in to contact with some kind of powerful fire magic or some other ancient elemental magic?" The dragon asked studying the boy who was in front of her.

Harry didn't quite understand what she meant by magic but he guessed that she meant the flames of darkness. He held his right arm up so that the dragon could see the black flame tattoo that wrapped from his wrist up to his shoulder. "Does this count as powerful fire magic?" Harry asked looking at the dragon whose eyes widened in shock.

The dragon took a step back and bowed her head towards Harry. "My lord killer of gods and master of all dragons. It is an honor to be in your presence. The humans that watch over this Dragon preserve have named Acasia and I am at your service." Acasia said keeping her head bowed.

Harry was confused by what Acasia meant. He wasn't a god killer and was pretty sure he wasn't the master of all dragons. "Um god killer? Master of all dragons?" Harry asked looking at Acasia.

"Yes my lord. Those flames are known as the God Eater Flames or the Flames of the King Dragon. The person who wields them can not only understand dragons but can also speak our language and command any dragon. Perhaps I should alert one of the Wizard keepers to your presence so you may show them your extraordinary gift." Acasia said looking up and into Harry's eyes.

Harry thought on this for a minute. "Well I do need to get out of your enclosure. After all I don't want to disturb your sleep since you have to care for your eggs and all. But how would you alert the wizards that watch over you?" Harry asked looking at Acasia who he believed was a being he could trust.

"All it will take my lord is me breathing a blast of fire into the air and some of the wizards will be sure to come." Acasia explained. Harry nodded to her agreeing that it would be for the best. Acasia arched her neck back and let loose a mighty blast of flame into the sky. In no time at all several people came running. A dark skinned man that was quite muscular looked into the pen.

"Some one get that boy out of the cage right now. You three start looking and see if you can find this child's parents." The dark skinned man said indicating the three behind him who took off immediately. A woman with blonde hair opened the pen and was able to get Harry out with no trouble at all. The dark skinned man upon seeing the marks on Harry's arm quickly led him away.

"Um I know I'm probably gonna be in trouble for being in her pen but I don't know how I got there. You won't find my parent's they're dead." Harry said not seeming upset when he mentioned the last part, which was unusual for a seven year old.

"I figured as much. But your not going to get in trouble. What I want to know though is where you got the markings on your right arm and if you know what they mean?" The dark skinned man said.

"I got them when my uncle almost killed me. I went through a strange trial and received them as well as knowledge of how to use them. I didn't know what they meant though until Acasia explained it to me." Harry said looking at the man who nodded at his words.

"My name is Anthony Piketon. May I know your name young Lord of Dragons?" Anthony asked.

"My name is Harry James Potter." Harry said looking at the wizard whose eyes widened before the man seemed to compose himself and smirk.

"Hahaha I see that explains a lot. The Harry Potter right here in Romania and only a day after the Prophet announced that he had disappeared from his guardians and that his guardians were dead. I have to say using the flames to kill your abusive relatives sure had Dumbledore worked up. I'm willing to bet the fact that you completely disappeared is the only reason he went to the ministry about it." Anthony said getting kind of a confused look from Harry.

"Um what's the prophet? And what do you mean by 'The Harry Potter'?" Harry asked looking at Anthony.

"Your famous in the wizarding world Harry. The reason for this is because you defeated the most powerful dark wizard of our time. The Prophet is the Wizarding world's news paper." Anthony explained getting a nod of understanding from Harry.

"So that's what that Prophecy was that I heard in my head after receiving the flames." Harry said. Anthony looked at Harry and smiled.

"Harry how would you like to stay here around your loyal subjects until your 11th birthday when you can go to Hogwarts?" Anthony asked getting a satisfied smirk from Harry that Anthony thought was fitting even though it wouldn't be on any other seven year old.

4 years later

Harry was currently spending time in Acasia's enclosure. Harry was the only person without any wizarding training that was allowed to be in the enclosure with the dragons. Not only that but he was the only non-dragon keeper allowed near them. Harry was currently petting one of Acasia's Hatchlings that for some reason was completely black colored and metallic looking. "So it looks like I'll be leaving you guys soon and won't be coming back till summer. But at least you'll have Charlie to look after you. He's the only competent person in that wizarding family I think. Well accept for Bill but he's not here so he doesn't really count." Harry said. He didn't really like most of the Weasley family since they were so loyal to Dumbledore. He absolutely despised Dumbledore since he found out that the man was the one that had put him with his so-called family.

"Are you sure you want to go to that school my lord? There are plenty of other wizarding schools that you could go to that would actually teach you more." Acasia said remembering how Harry had explained the schools as Anthony had to him. She seemed happy watching Harry play with her dark hatchling.

Harry shook his head as the black hatchling crawled into his lap. "I'm going to Hogwarts in memory of my parents and to make sure Dumbledore is kept in his place. My instincts tell me that I need to watch out for that old goat." Harry said looking down at the hatchling. "The only question now is whether you want to go with me or stay here Nightmare." Harry said to the hatchling.

"I'm your familiar Lord Harry. Wherever you go I go." The little dragon said indignantly.

A/N: Ok and here is the end of chapter 1. Yes Harry is still going to be a parslemouth but he found out about the ability to communicate with Dragons first because it's directly connected to his unique fire magic. Oh and thanks to the Weasleys Dumbles knows that Harry is alive. However Anthony threatened to skin him alive and feed him to the Dragons if he attempted to take Harry away. Next chapter will be Diagon Alley and Hogwarts.
