AN: Another chapter for all you folks.

I am unsure of whether I have mentioned this before or not, however when reading this story, or any others that I plan to write do not expect a regular update, my muse comes and goes I may go on for months without writing a chapter, this is not because I have abandoned the story as that is one thing I will never do, However I am someone who reads Fanfiction a lot and so ideas come and go quite quickly.

This is also the reason for the short chapters as I am always torn between waiting for inspiration to hit me or to cave in and post this chapter so that you, the people that I continue to write this for are happy.

Anyway, Thanks for reading.

Chapter 4: The Truth.

Winterfell ( Specifically Harry's room ), The North - 298 AC

Harry's head felt as if a giant had been continuously stepping on it again and again just for its own sick amusement, he managed to sit up with a low throaty groan that protested against the movements of his body. At the very least Harry was warm, in fact he had never been warmer which was odd due to the fact that the North was always so bloody cold that if one were not careful, they could easily succumb to the harsh frozen wasteland. It was only when Harry opened his eyes groggily and wiped away the remaining sleep in his eyes that he realized that not only was he very warm but he was also completely naked, a fact that contradicted his current state of warmth. True perhaps if he were in the Summer Isles then if he slept naked he would still be warm, but this was the very heart of the North, it didn't get much colder than this unless you were brave enough to go past the wall.

It was at that point that Harry noticed the second odd thing, it was obvious that he was naked, he did not remember taking his clothes off but he had been very drunk and he could not even remember most of the night. But what Harry had noticed was something that seemed to be logically impossible, or at least it was without magic and seeing how he had cleverly hidden his wand under a loose stone directly under his bed so that his family did not find out about his magic, it was obvious that this was done with no magic needed. For Harry was currently sitting naked in his fireplace with the fire still raging on and He was not being burnt.

This was impossible, he thought as he felt the flames lick his naked body with not much more than a nice warmth that encompassed his body. That is when he felt it, there was something in him. In his very blood that sang out to the fire, calling out to the eternal warmth of the flames, something deep inside of Harry that felt purely magical was crying out as for the first time in Harry's life it was satisfied.

Harry's mind could not properly comprehend this situation that he was in and so in his panic he scurried out of the fireplace, he felt the cold air of the north rush towards his naked unprotected body as the warmth of the fire left and yet for the first time in his life, Harry did not feel cold, in fact he still felt quite warm almost as if he could walk out as he was now into the eternal snow filled lands of the North and still feel warm.

Harry wishing to test something walked towards his bed and then underneath it as he felt for the loose stone that hid his wand, removing the stone and grabbing his wand in his left hand he then did something incredibly stupid that he knew that if she knew Hermione would be screaming at him, as he pointed his wand to his other hand and then incanted the spell.

"Incendio"

And as the bright orange flames of his arcane spell grew slowly from his wand and then leapt into his very hands, a spell that was created fire hot enough it could melt flesh and yet here Harry was somehow without the use of his magic holding flame within his very hand. He knew that it should not be possible, an ordinary fire he could understand as perhaps somehow Harry had stumbled into his fireplace after drinking so much and his mind recognizing the danger somehow cast the flame freezing charm accidentally in order to protect himself. However these flames were different, Harry was awake now and he knew for a fact that he had not unconsciously cast the flame freezing charm and instead somehow his hand that was covered in arcane flames was safe and that this protection seemed to come from his very blood.

Harry dispelled the fire and quickly got dressed as he sought out the only thing that he could think of that would give him the answers to the questions he could think of, The Library where Maester Luwin resided.

The Stark library was actually quite small, this made a lot of sense due to the fact that books were very rare as they had to be written by hand as there existed no such thing as a printing press in Westeros, and as such all books were rare and expensive and not a lot of copies of any books were made. As such it was in fact rather easy to find what he was looking for as Harry scoured what little books existed in Winterfell and found a book that mentioned the Targaryen Family and the unique gift with fire that their family possessed due to the Dragons blood that flowed through their veins.

Somehow the same blood that caused the current king Robert to rebel against the crown flowed through his veins, Harry was of course aware of the great hatred that the king had for the Targaryen family going so far as to allow the murder of two children and the rape and slaughter of their mother with no punishment handed out to those who had committed great crimes. However despite this, there was only one thing on his mind, how on earth could the blood of this ancient family be flowing through his veins.

That the he had the blood of the Targaryens meant either one of two things, either his mother was a Targaryen or his father, the honorable Lord Ned Stark had lied to the world and he was in fact not his son. Of the two options the second seemed far more likely due to the only Targaryen women who were alive during the time of his birth were Queen Rhaelle and the Princess Rhaenys. However for either to have happened it would mean that Lord Ned Stark had been in close proximity to the Queen as the Princess was far too young, however with the war going on it would be highly unlikely that the Kingsguard would have allowed a traitor Lord so close to the Queen.

And while it was possible that he was the son of Queen Rhaelle and some random Lord who had remained loyal to her and the king which was in fact quite likely as it was quite well known that the Queen had hated the king and would do anything that would be seen as resistance to him, Harry knew that at the time of his birth by referencing his Age that the Queen was pregnant, and out of Westeros which ruled out her as a candidate.

The second option however had even worse implications as of the Targaryen men who were alive there were a total of three, The King Aerys, his son Rhaegar or Little Prince Aegon who was immediately discarded due to his young age leaving only two people left, meaning that he was either the Son of Aerys or Rhaegar. Discarding for the moment the horrible betrayal that he felt as the man who he had thought was his father, whom he had grown up calling father was in fact not.

Harry then thought on the two men who had the best claim on the Dragon blood that was flowing through his veins, Aerys the Mad was called as such for a very good reason and it was for that exact reason that Harry could discount him as his Father as the man was incredibly paranoid and would only ever sleep with his Sister-wife Rhaelle for fear of attempted assassination while he slept. And seeing as Rhaelle had been pregnant it was possible, however it had been reported that Queen Rhaelle had in fact died giving birth to a daughter named Daenarys out at sea far away from Westeros. Which only left one horrifying possibility, That he was the Son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark.

This was the only possibility left as while he could be the son of Elia Martel, he looked nothing like the Dornish woman as well as the fact that if Elia had given birth to him, he should have died along with her, it would also explain why his fath- No, his uncle had kept him, proclaiming him as his own base born son as a way to protect the only child of his sister.

It was at that moment that Harrys anger had abated, true he was still angry at the Lord of Winterfell for not telling him, however he knew that if he had not taken him in he would be dead, he was a Targaryen and not just any Targaryen either but one born of the man Robert hated the most and the woman that he loved the most. He Harry was a product of the rape that his father committed, if the king ever found out, Harry knew that his death would not be Swift and would be stretched over the years.

It was then that Harry decided to confront his uncle over his knowledge of this and decide what to do with his life, despite coming from the royal line, Harry owed his house nothing and in fact would rather not get involved at all as the crimes his father had committed to his mother absolved him of any debt towards him.

However he thought on his family, both those that lived here in Winterfell and those across the Narrow sea, the last of his father's family innocent and free of his family's cruelty and madness, were they alright? He knew not. Despite his wish to abandon his house and all ties he had with it they were one he did not wish to sever.

Furthermore his family here in Winterfell, his uncle and aunt and his cousins who he had believed to be brothers, his own true brother Jon, was he truly his twin or was that another lie that his uncle had told the world in order to protect his sisters legacy, each of these were questions that he needed the answers to and the only way to get them was to ask his uncle and confront him with what he knew.

And so it was that Harry stepped out of the meager Stark library with a new purpose in his step, adamant to find his uncle and have him properly explain the truth about him.

AN: By the way, yes I do know that Rhaegar did not rape Lyanna, however Harry does not know that and so it was explained as with no mention of any Meta knowledge.

Guest: Thanks.

WinterPacific27: Sorry can't read Spanish, but I do recognise a few words, Thanks.

Guest: Sadly no, while Harry knows how to cast it he himself will not be there until it is too late, the direwolves have indeed been brought home, I had actually and that will be in a flashback next chapter.

Harry will become an Animation but it won't be a Direwolf.

Spiralling Fan 3128: Thanks, I know however my inspiration comes and goes sporadically and as such I tend to write shorter chapters.

Belladu57: Thank you.

Padfootette: Thanks.

Tsumujikaze Yumi: Thanks.

Blaze1992: They will but it will be more off screen than anything else.

DukeSomerset: Thanks and so do I.

Sanbeegoldiewhitey: Lol, true but then this is Fanfiction, since when has realism truly mattered.

Charles Caesar: Thank you

Simflyer: The unburnt is a title he won't have, while it is true flames do not hurt him, Harry does not wish to spread this information out. Perhaps he will, perhaps he will not, you will just have to wait and read on.

Guest: Thank you.

RinnePotter726: Thanks, noted and fixed was not really thinking about that as I wrote it.

TimBarney110: Lol, nice idea, trying to stick to what I believe Harry would really do so no Harem and where did Nyssa come from lol.

Death Wand: it was indeed his Targaryen Heritage, specifically his Dragon blood calling out to the fire.

Bella-swan11: Indeed, though judging by both Harry and Jon's personalities they do not want the throne and have no idea of what I'd coming, yet.

Guest: Thanks.

Kenka: No trouble, though Harry is now aware of his heritage.

Uzushiogakure: Ahh, hello again always nice to reply to one of your reviews.

Thank you, you are correct as Harry grows older and starts experimenting with things he has seen at Hogwarts but not taught due to his young age he will start to try casting silently and wandlessly however it will be much tougher for him as he has no formal instructor to teach him how to do it.

To be honest not sure how the meeting with Dany should go down as while she is his family and it is not something the original Harry would think of, I am running out of people to pair Harry with who aren't trying to kill him, wish to use him or people he had grown up with.

Thanks.

917brat: His Fireplace and all answered in this chapter.

Alec-Potter: Thanks, was unsure of when he should have learned it, but I thought that this was best as it shapes his actions in the future chapters.

Brown5o: Nope sorry.

Help I Have no Social Life: me neither buddy, and you take that back, we kiwis are so much better than you Aussies, this is perfectly demonstrated in our rugby matches. And thanks.

H4lfbl00dprince: Thanks.

Guest: Mwuhahahahaha.

Guest: No idea about a pairing right now.

Ficreader2011: While I love the idea it is my belief that Harry is too humble and kind to think that way thus he wont.

Nysk: Indeed it does.

AvalonRivers: Not a Direwolf, no idea about a Dragon.

Guest: Wow, thanks for the image of Harry with a very very old lady, in all seriousness though it will be very interesting to see their meeting.
