My first Harry Potter Fix!

Dragons and Wizards

Chapter 1: Father knows the best.

During the final blow delivered to Tenroujima by the Dragon of Apocalypse, the Fire Dragon Igneel managed to avoid his son from being trapped in the Fairy Sphere. But due to certain terms that came along with this action, Natsu wasn't allowed to stay in Earthland until the Fairy Sphere has been lifted.

Chapter1 : Farewell for now

Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Happy and the rest of the Fairy Tail held each others hands, they knew what was going to happen. Acnologia loomed over them portraying a dramatic view of inevitable death but the hearts of the wizards stayed strong. Master Makarov's words rung through their minds. 'Death cannot separate us...our bonds won't allow that...'

And then it came, with a loud roar, Acnologia unleashed it's wrath on the wizards mercilessly.

Everyone clenched their eyes shut, but one pink haired Dragon Slayer kept his gaze on the approaching wave of destruction. 'Ha...so this must be it you old lizard. If you are dead, I am going to meet you now...if you are not...I will wait for you there...' Natsu let out a sad smile before closing his eyes slowly.

No pain was felt, 'Eh? Is this also a dramatic death like in the books Lucy wrote? The one where the person gets a few moments to think about his life...oh! I might need to think about my past to be dead! Hmmm...where should I begin? Yeah that's it! Igneel! He wanted to wake me up for training!'

"Natsu..."

"Ah...yes...that's how he woke me up. His gruff arrogant voice, laced with superiority complex and cockiness-"

"Natsu!" This time the Dragon's voice was filled with annoyance

"Wow! Talk about realistic audio... But when did he say that in this memory... It's supposed to come later...maybe my mind got broke...oh no!"

"You damn brat! Open your goddamn eyes!" That got Natsu to jolt his eyes open and what...who he saw in front of him was someone he thought he will never see...no...

Igneel raised his right eye in mild surprise seeing his son not reacting the way he expected. He was almost...thinking...like a mature person...

'My Natsu mature? Has the world come to an end?'

"Oh! So you were dead? Man...and all the searching I did to think were wasted... Ah the past is in the past!" With that, Natsu summoned flames in his arms and charged into the giant beast.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" The attack landed on the tip of the Dragon's nose tip...nothing happened though.

"Oh come on! Even in death you are hard as a rock!" The great red beast growled in annoyance.

"There is nothing thicker than your head you dumb twit!" Igneel slammed his clawed giant fist on the Slayer's head causing an angry red bump to pop out right on the center of the surface of the pinkhead's head.

"Yeah! I have the strongest- wait a sec...hey! That's an insult you big fat overgrown red lizard!" The self bewitched Dragon Slayer protested on his bewitchment.

"Why you insolent... Grrr...Natsu! You are not dead! Acnologia has fired his attack on you and your human companions." Igneel explained to the Dragon Slayer with annoyance.

"What...so my frien-" Natsu didn't want to finish it and he didn't as

"Are safe." Igneel cut him off.

"How?" Natsu asked weakly... Unable to ease his worry.

"Look around you Natsu... And tell me where are we." Igneel commanded softly ignoring the question from his son.

That's when Natsu, for the first time observed where he was... It was dark, not dull black, glowing black with small diamond like stars and huge rocks with vegetation and life were levitating. And when he looked down, he was standing on a beautiful meadow with a variety of glowing fauna and grass that showed through the dark atmosphere.

"..." Natsu couldn't form words at the sight.

"This...Natsu, is the Dragons sanctuary... This realm was created by me...to protect the remaining Dragons from Acnologia..." Igneel paused and Natsu took it.

"So you ran away hiding and abandoned us!" Natsu shouted angrily

"...and humans..." That made the Dragon Slayer stop his rampage

"What! That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard! Humans can't kill Dragons! Dragons kill humans!" Natsu exclaimed angrily.

The mighty red beast sighed tiredly, knowing he doesn't have much time.

"My dear son, you think so lowly of us. We supported the revolution for the human uprising not because of any profit... The humans soon started to hunt their allied Dragons so they can 'cleanse' the earth of 'monsters', they tracked down breeding females and killed them and took the remains for weapons, took their children as souvenirs... But we held back...still trusting humanity... Until...Acnologia came... He slaughtered a million Dragons until he lost his humanity and turned into a mindless monster... That was when we decided to create this realm... Where no human or Acnologia can enter... And during it's creation delay was the day I found that half dead baby, still wet from the human fluids during birth... I forgot my duty as the king, I forgot the people that depended on I. So left..." The Dragon explained calmly.

Natsu stood there stunned, never in a million years did he expect human beings to be the part reason for the Dragons to leave...

"I know its a lot to take in, but we don't have much time, a week perhaps..." The Dragon said hastily.

"Eh? Huh? What?" Natsu confusedly.

"Come. Your presence have been covered but it won't last long, if the other Dragons came to know of the presence of a Dragon Slayer, then we will have a war here." Igneel grabbed the pinkhead with his hands and flew off to another area.

"Natsu, I know you are confused, but you will know all the answers by the end of your training!" Igneel didn't hear a reply but saw a smile on the Slayer's face, something that he missed.

Sixth day of training

Natsu stood under a cliff, the area around him was in burnt debris. His shirt was missing, showing his well sculptured body rippling as steam left.

His thick intake of air showed that he was tired but continued to stand. Igneel sat comfortably on top of the cliff gazing down at the Dragon Slayer.

"One hour. Very good Natsu, but that's not enough. Again!" The Dragon commanded

"Ahhhh...ahhh!" Natsu screamed out making a small crater on the already abused ground. Golden yellow and crimson flames covered his whole body as he roared towards the sky before pulling his head slow and forcefully towards the ground, scales started to appear under his eyes and hands. With a final roar the transformation was complete. Dragon Force.

Dragon Force, as Igneel had explained wasn't the ultimate strength of a Slayer, it is the form which allows the user to use advanced and more destructive spells that require a lot of strength. Natsu wasn't a master in it, yet but has been out of the primary stage of utilizing external agents for boost.

"Well well well. Look what lil old Igneel bought for a quick snack?" A cocky metal voice infiltrated the area.

Igneel was standing over the pinkhead, covering him with his wing the next moment and growling at the Iron Dragon that landed on his spot on the cliff he left.

"Metalicana! How dare you barge into my territory?" Igneel roared.

"Relax your ass Highness. I don't like humans... They could get me fat...but the other Dragons won't mind the calories I think." The giant Iron Dragon grinned.

"None will touch him. He is my son." Igneel stated

"Ah...the young prince...so I guess papa couldn't take it anymore without seeing his lil boy?" Metalicana taunted.

"You are Gajeel's father, arent you?" Natsu finally spoke.

"Ah, the human speaks and to answer your question, yes, I am that great Dragon." He boasted.

"But Gajeel says you are an Asshole." Igneel snorted while Metalicana fumed at the disrespectful boys remark.

"That's enough boys. Igneel, quit your attitude of being such a brat, I see you brought your son here." This time a new Dragon landed next to Igneel, Grandeeney.

"Grandeeney..." Igneel growled at the lady Dragon but didn't say anything back other than the name.

"You are Wendy's mom? She told me you are very nice." Natsu spoke a bit suspiciously after seeing her attitude on first hand.

"That i am. Tell me boy, how is Wendy, is she alright?" The Dragon asked Natsu who didn't know what to say and he didn't have to as Igneel interjected

"She is safe, along with Gajeel in a sphere created by the spirit of a human wizard known as Mavis Vermilion. They will awaken seven years later."

"What!"

"What!"

"Shit!"

The three exclaimed at the revelation.

"I will explain to you two after I sent Natsu to a suitable place till the sphere breaks. Natsu, I hope you remember what I said about giving you answers. Good now continue and oh, you two get lost." Igneel ordered and although a bit arrogant, the two newly arrived Dragons left.

After a few seconds of observation, Igneel flew back to his spot.

"Continue!" And the training began once again.

.

The last day...

No training was conducted this day and just like a day off, Natsu slept soundly on the cave floor while Igneel sat at the black sky without a sun.

There seem to be a couple more till the time between them come to an end.

"Mmm." The Dragon heard the sound of a groan behind him, indicating the and awakening of the Dragon Slayer.

'Good...' The Dragon thought as he stood up and stretched his limbs while flapping his wings before walking down from the raised ground.

"Mornin' Igneel..." Natsu greeted with a loud yawn.

"Natsu, go wash yourself in the stream and come." Igneel commanded

A few moments passed as Natsu finally came back clean and dry.

"W'at up?" Natsu asked seeing Igneel was a bit silent.

With a monstrous sigh, "Today is the day."

"Eh? What day... Oh..." Natsu's confusion quickly turned to a sad realization.

"You want answers on your friend whereabouts, don't you?" The Dragon said settling down in front of his son, who in return sat and nodded.

"Do you know Mavis Vermilion?" Again a nod came.

"Her spirit was awakened by you and your comrades...bonds towards each other. And in the end when you were about get attacked, that last second as you stood there united in body and spirit, she united your magic too and casted a spell that was able to shield your friends from the attack. But I pulled you out..." Igneel continued.

"Why? Why did you take me away?" The Dragon Slayer asked confused

"Don't trust humans much..." The Dragon grunted

"Hey!" Natsu protested.

"Shut up." Silenced the Dragon Slayer for a few seconds before...

"...so...they are back in Fairy Tail?"

"No... They will be stuck in that sphere for a period of seven years...and part of your soul is also trapped... That is why you can't go back to Earthland. You will kill the balance of the nature..." He further explained

"So...am I staying with you?" Natsu asked hopefully

"As I told you, the Dragons don't know of your presence, other than the two that came by, and it should remain that way..." His son's face fell

"And where are you going to throw me this time?" Natsu asked, cheering up.

"Somewhere similar to your home but different..."

"My home is with you Igneel." Natsu said softly.

"My dear son, your home is with the ones you love and cherish... And for me...I am always with you Natsu..." Igneel softly brought one of his clawed fingers and lightly pointed towards Natsu's chest.

"...and I will always be watching you..."

It was nighttime and out of the Dragon realm, Igneel with Natsu on his back flew slowly over of a large forest, this was a large dark area, the plant species within the forest were trees such as beech, oak, pine, was filled with yew and knotgrass and thorny undergrowth although the trees didn't reach up to the Dragons arm, which was more than a 150 feet much less near his body they were tall for any other.

The Dragon sent out a small ball of fire on to the dark forest which incinerated a small chunk of the forest, providing a suitable landing space in which the Dragon landed with a small thud which made a burnt but standing tree fall.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu cheered as he got down on to the sooty ground.

"Before I leave Natsu, I will tell you this, this is a world that is divided into two, magical and non magical. Both separated by a wall of prejudices. The non magical beings does not know of the existence of magic and you must not use it there...and try to stay in this side..." The Dragon advised the pinkhead only to have confused look from the latter.

"Why not?"

Igneel knew his time out of the Dragon realm was over. "Look...just do as I say..." Before Natsu could say anymore, the Dragon started to fade away

"Igneel!" Natsu shouted with horror.

"Don't worry! I will come and get you seven years later! Take care my Natsu and remember who's son you are!" With that the Dragon faded away leaving the Dragon Slayer in the brink of tears but rubbed his eyes and pulled his scarf to make it more comfortable for his neck.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" A shrilling loud scream tore through the silent forest...a male human voice. And that marked the start of the young Dragon Slayer's new adventure. Natsu shot through the woods and the thorny undergrowth at speeds humans nor wizards were capable of and towards the source of the screams that now littered the forest's peace.

'A scream means someone's in danger and that means a fight...' A huge fangy grin came over the Dragon Slayer's face as he pushed forward.

"My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid, on my command. But I cannot deny them fresh meat, when it wanders so willingly into our midst. Good-bye, friend of Hagrid." The giant spider Aragog stated as his children clicked at the fresh meat available and ready for consuming, standing right in front of them.

Harry and Ron backed away slowly as the spiders started to move in.

"Uh...Harry? Is this a good time to panic?" Ron asked his friend and suddenly a spider pounced on top of Harry but the latter was quick enough to hit it with his started to move in.

"Arania Exumai!" Harry shot at another spider and then another and another and he knew he couldn't keep this up.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Harry jolted his head to his best friend's direction to see a spider biting on to the redhead's leg.

"Ron! Arania Exumai!" Harry successfully removed the spider from his friend's body.

"Ron are you okay?" Harry said as he held Ron with the latter holding Harry's shoulder for support.

The spiders seem to have form a circle around the two, enjoying their preys anxiety. The moved in together to claim the human flesh.

"Both of the humans shut their eyes tight, expecting the pain to come at any moment... Suddenly they felt the temperature rise at an alarming rate followed by the squeaks of spiders but still didn't open their eyes until they felt an arm wrap around each of their hips and the next thing they knew was that they were on the air.

Ron had already fainted but Harry tried and successfully opened his eyes slightly and saw a sharp face with pink locks flapping with the wind and when the wizard look down he saw no soil under...they were on the air...flying?

"Ohhhaaaaahhhha" Harry screamed out, they were leaping and that too passing great distance and height between each leap. Harry wanted to ask who the mystery person was but couldn't as he screamed during each terrifying leap. Of course he wasn't afraid of height or speed after all he has a nimbus with him and a star player in the air too, but that didn't strike of the fact that he was going through the woods and the guy holding him could let go any moment and he will fall on to the thorny undergrowth.

"Yo kid calm down!" The stranger said with a humorous laugh.

"CALM DOWN? WILL YOU PUT US DOWN!" Harry contradicted.

The next time Natsu touched the ground he didn't leap back up instead reduced to a run before coming to a halt and gently...or rather Harry squirmed out. The salmon haired man placed the unconscious gently on the roots of a giant oak along with the dog.

"Who are you?" Harry asked while pointing his wand at the stranger, who completely ignored and was looking down at the unconscious boy.

"Your friend got bitten?" That simple question made the boy lower his wand and jump towards Ron's side.

"Oh no! He's getting colder! We need to get him to the infirmary! Please!" Harry now pleaded towards the 'threat'.

"Ah don't worry, I can take care of an injury of this much small caliber..." Natsu said goofily causing Harry to look confused.

And then it happened, golden flames started to form on the stranger's fists, ""Hold his knee up." Natsu asked the boy who reluctantly complied.

"This is gonna hurt him a bit..." Natsu whispered before placing his flaming hands on the black infected wound.

It hurt alright, maybe a little bit more as Ron jolted awake with a bloodcurdling scream, much like the previous one.

"What the bloody hell!" Ron shouted but couldn't continue as he was embraced by his friend.

"Ron! You are alright!" Harry's words brought up the speed in Ron's head and he quickly along with Harry looked at the wound...or where the wound at least was before and instead found soft skin on his leg.

"How... did you...you do it Harry?" Ron asked shocked and also not realizing the presence of the Dragon Slayer.

"Uh..Ron... He...he saved you." Harry slowly pointed behind Ron who turned rapidly to the stranger and the first thing that came to his mind was

"You got pink hair!" Ron exclaimed

"Its not pink you dumb kid! It's salmon!" Natsu retorted and folded his hands with a frown.

"No way. It's pink". Ron emphasized

"No, it's salmon " Natsu rejected

"Pink!"

"Salmon!"

"Pink!"

"Salmon!"

"Pin-" Ron was cut off though.

"Enough Ron! It's his hair, let him decide!" Harry cut through.

"Yeah! Boo! You lose!" Natsu started doing his wiggle dance while saying wiggle wiggle.

Harry didn't know what to make of this "Who are you?" He asked Natsu, who stopped and said.

"Natsu Dragneel. What's yours?" He answered cheerfully and asked.

"Harry Potter."

"Ronald Weasly."

They were confused as the stranger didn't show any knowledge of Harry.

"What are you kids doing here at night? Go home and sleep!" He tried to command but was not successful in sound.

"We...we are from Hogwarts." This time they knew he was a stranger here and started to explain how magic and school are related excluding the secrets.

Natsu didn't know what to say, on one hand school reminded him of Erza, and the feast made him drool "So..whats..your story?" Harry finally asked.

Breaking out of his thoughts, Natsu said. "Uh...what? Oh...my dad dropped me here and said he would come after seven years." The two young wizards were dumbfounded.

"What kinda person abandons his son in the middle of this bloody forest?" Ron exclaimed.

"Hehehe..actually he abandoned me when I was eight or something and he found me a week ago." This only shocked them further.

"He's not a good human being..." Ron said angrily at how their new ally's life was.

"Ah that's because he's not human, he is the Fire Dragon King!" Natsu proudly announced.

The two wanted to laugh but a voice pierced

"Goodness, Harry, Ron, children are you okay?" Professor Dumbledore said as he came forth.

"Professor!" The boys said in union.

"Come, we need to sneak you back in before somebody finds you." He said with his usual twinkle in the eyes and before the boys could say anything further about Natsu,

"Prince Dragneel, if you would like to have something to eat and refresh yourself, please follow me, sir. We will discuss in the morning."

The children were dumbfounded yet again. Natsu being a go lucky guy didn't care about what he said after the mention of food.

"Alright! Food!"
