Lord Itharius was bored out of his mind.

Northrend was not where his Dragonflight was meant to be, he should be home! In his nice cave in the Swamp of Sorrows doing nothing but watching over the little whelplings that hung around outside and sleeping in the lovely humid daylight.

Of course he couldn't do that though. With the corruption of his elder brother, Eranikus, the job of being ambassador had fallen to his shoulders. Now, don't get him wrong, he was happy in anyway to be serving the great Ysera.

That didn't mean he wouldn't complain and groan about the cold and floraless plains though.

Currently he was being forced to hear the complaints of several of the mortal leaders. Something about the Lich King attacking at the Wrathgate and annihilating their forces. Along with some of the defected undead.

Itharius hated the undead. They were a blemish upon what should be a green, alive earth.

The Queen of all Dragons was soothing their ruffled feathers and sending aid quickly to stop the outpouring of new undead. Even offering to go herself along with her consort.

The other dragons were not as keen on helping as she was. Then again the Green Dragon wasn't sure that his acid breath would do any good against Scourge and a created plague of undeath. So he sat back, growing more and more bored as the moments passed.

With a sudden move, the Red Aspect jumped from the side of the tower, her small mortal body quickly disappearing over the side. Only for Alexstrasza to reappear a moment later in her true form. Krasus followed in suit after his mate.

Hastily she lead a battalion of her kin to help. Leaving the ambassadors there to twiddle their thumbs or argue. Which ever came first.

There was no doubt in the Green Dragon's mind that someone would start to argue any moment. Peace was not something very strong between the aspects at the moment.

So instead of listening to the storm of complaints that was sure to spill from Nalice or Chromie (as both females seemed to enjoy complaining more then Itharius thought healthy) he turned to stare out onto the frozen plains and mentally plan what he would do when he got to go home.

Something caught the attention of his False-blue eyes. Something black, fiery and plummeting at an outrageous speed towards him.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he shouted, diving to the side to avoid the meteor like object.

Kalec quickly created a dome of magic around the object. Thankfully containing the explosion that impact made.

Warily Nalice and a few of the guards stepped forward to see the object. Not that much could be seen, the dome was also holding in the smoke so it was impossible to discern.

"Kalecgos, I believe you can drop the shield now" Chromie said with that all knowing twinkle in her eye. She was more then aware the danger was past.

The blue haired one nodded and canceled the dome. Allowing for the cold winds to blow the acrid smoke away.

Everyone of them gaped in wonder at what lay there.

It was a young human child. What gender the Green Dragon was unsure. Covered in soot from their fiery entrance.

The only thing he did know for sure was that they were alive.

At the same moment all of the ambassadors stepped forward. Which stopped all of the them in their tracks.

Something possessive welled in Itharius. "If he's hurt I am best to deal with it while Alexstrasza is away" he said plainly, daring any there to refute his powers.

All of them narrowed their eyes, even Chromie with her usual far away stare seemed to glare.

Uncaring if he had just caused a fight the Green Dragon quickly kneeled at the child's side and place one hand just above the skin. His power over nature did allow him some healing capability. Nothing like what the Life-Binder could do of course, but better then her Guards could probably. He had a good feeling they would just set fire to the child and call it done.

Green magic swirled around the human for a moment before it quickly wrapped around what ailed them. Itharius watched in amazement as his magic was soaked up like a sponge. Most mortals didn't respond so well to magic more tuned to healing plants and animals. Maybe the child was a druid? Unlikely but plausible.

After a moment the soot covered form groaned as consciousness took over. There was a small whimper as the form moved to push up their small body.

Itharius couldn't stop himself and he helped to set the child right. Allowing for them to get used to the sudden vertigo of the new position.

The Green Dragon was rewarded by the sight of the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Emerald eyes, the beauty of the Dream locked within the verdant jewels that looked so curiously at him.

"Hello child." He said softly, unable to tear his glowing blue eyes away from the lovely ones below. It was like trying to leave his swamp all over again.

"Wha...where am I" The boy, the voice was defiantly a boys, whimpered as he shivered from the cold.

"Wyrmrest Temple in Northrend" He said soothingly, noticing out of the corner of his eye that most of the other Flights were bristling at his tone of voice. He desperately want to growl in warning at them but didn't dare.

Pure confusion clouded those emeralds. "Where? I don't...are we in Antarctica or something?"

"Ant-are-te-ka? Is that your town?" All off the Dragons looked properly confused, well besides Chromoru. As always it was just calculating and far away.

"No, no, I'm from London England. Umm, where did you say we were? Wyrmrest?"

"Yes, surely you've heard of it?" Most humans knew about this place, it was the place of a war they were participating.

The blackened child shook his head.

Chromie shuffled forward, despite the obvious death glare that the Green Dragon was sending.

"Hello Little one" she said kindly, her far away gaze locked onto him "what is the name of where your from London England"

"Yes, do you know how I got from there to...here?" His lovely eyes suddenly where gone from Itharius, his swamp once more ripped away from his claws.

Chromie shook her small head " May I just ask, is the name of your world, Earth?"

Blinking rapidly, the boy nodded once hesitantly.

"Oh fuck" the Bronze Dragon hissed, gaining the attention of all the dragons.

"What, why? Is something wrong? We are on Earth so what does it matter? WHAT IS GOING ON!" the boy was screaming, obviously near hysterics.

Chromoru backed up a step at the sudden blast of power that exploded from the boy as he wailed. It was Kalec's turn to be interested.

"He has magic" the Blue Dragon breathed. "A lot of Magic, and when I say a lot, I mean it"

Itharius was suddenly a little more wary about the child, Magic was a horrible corrupter of the world. Those eyes though...No one could have such beautiful eyes and harm the forests. He hoped at least.

The Green Dragon patted the Child's head softly, unsure of what else to do, Not like he had mate, or seen a brood-mother since he had grown into a drake. He was lost on the comfort department.

It took a little coaxing but the boy settled down, although he was now clinging to the Green Dragon. Much to his delight and the others growing anger.

Chromie glared at the other Flight member before returning to the boy.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to alarm you. No your world is fine. What I meant was that...well...Your about eight time-lines over from where you should be. I mean, I had to look pretty deep to even find your world."

"So.." the boy sniffled trying to keep his nose from running "I'm not on Earth?"

"No, Your almost as far from it as you can get actually. Welcome to Azeroth Child."

Itharius suddenly found himself holding the full weight of the boy, he had fainted.

"Well handled Chromie" he sneered. Quickly standing up and shifting the boy to a better position to hold. If the Green Dragon was correct it was called Bridal Style or something.

"Like you could have done better trying to tell a mortal child that he was thrown as far out of his time-line as theoretically possible! Really Itharius! You have no idea how complicated what that boy has done is! The sheer POWER that would be necessary to make it two worlds over in staggering! Imagine EIGHT! Nozdormu must be informed" The Gnome prattled on.

Kalec came over to the boy, despite Itharius's attempts to make it obvious he should stay well and far away.

"We should probably get him some clothes, that fire burned most of them to shreds" the Blue Dragon said wisely.

Nalice came over too. Stepping over Chromie as the tiny women ranted over power and time.

"I have a couple of extra robes, If you think the boy won't mind them being a little heavy"

Both men stared at the female dragon like she had just lost her mind. Kindness? To a human? THE WORLD WAS ENDING!

She rolled her eyes "Did you see the way he came in? Covered in black fire yet his skin did not burn? It is obvious he is related to my Flight somehow. So I will care for him until he can be taken to a safer place, like to Brood-Mother Onyxia"

Itharius and Kalec both couldn't stop the hiss of outrage at the women's audacious claim.

"The boy, if he belongs to any Flight, it is Green! His eyes are like the purest of Forest and his body was healed with Nature magic, something that usually affects no one but the Green."

"Both of you are crazy! Do you not see how magical this one is! His blood is magic! It seeps from him. Only someone of the Blue could hope to have that purity of arcane within them!"

"All of you shut up! That boy rightfully belongs to Lord Nozdormu! He is a time-traveler. That means he was OBVIOUSLY summoned here by the Lord of TIME, if that makes any sense to your tiny brains!" Chromie yelled over them all.

That was it. The fight was on. None of them dared fight bodily of course, but the screaming match was in full force. Nalice was even starting to foam magma she was getting so mad.

Itharius hissed and snapped his mortal jaw when any of the dragons would get to close to him. In their current forms there was not much harm they could do to each other. But the Green Dragon was having to be careful to not let any of his acid land on the precious burden in his arms.

All of the Guards looked on in confusion, worried to intervene, but also knowing that they should stop the fight before it got violent. Of course something like this would happen the moment their queen flew away.

Cielstrasza rubbed her temples praying for strength. "WILL YOU FOUR SHUT UP!"

Eight pairs of enraged eyes turned on the Red Dragon women. She gulped and started to back up to the edge of the tower, just in case she had to make a break for it.

Thankfully Alexstrasza choose that moment to return, along with her mate and the Drakes she had taken with her. The dark-skinned Elf raised an eyebrow in confusion at the scene before her. A Green Dragon holding onto a soot covered, sleeping child. Attempting to not drool on him while screaming obscenities at three other equally pissed off Ambassadors.

"What is going on here!" she demanded. She was thankful when the warm hand of Krasus came to rest on her back, otherwise she might have started to set stuff on fire, she was already pretty upset from what she witnessed at the Wrathgate and this was not what she wanted to listen to upon her return.

The screaming thankfully stopped at her voice, but the murderous glares where still be thrown around. No one seemed to want to talk.

Itharius, clutched the boy a little tighter, he was glad it was he who was holding the child. His innate ability make any living creature sleep was the only thing that had kept the boy from waking up during the whole confrontation.

Unfortunately because it was he who held the object of the argument. It also meant that the Green Dragon was the one Alexstrasza was glaring at and demanding an answer.

He was defiantly going home at his earliest convenience.

"Life-Binder, You see...Well...This child, This is going to sound weird now" he cautioned "He fell from the sky in a fire ball onto the tower" he said in a rush.

The queen looked perplexed. But before she could say anything Nalice spoke up.

"Not only that! It was BLACK fireball, and this boy was not harmed by it! Everyone knows that Black Fire is used by Neltharion. It is obvious that this child is special to my Flight and I demand to have him!" she hissed, magma starting to fall from her mouth once more.

Again the Red Aspect tried to speak only to be cut off by Kalec this time.

"Your Black Fire is just the product of the magic this boy was giving off. No doubt he had wrapped himself in a protective barrier of magic to survive the fire. No, this boy is most defiantly Blue Dragon intended. His very blood is seeped in Arcane. He holds more magic in his small body then most of my Flight! If anyone, I should have him! Especially for what your flight has done to mine Nalice!"

Both Ambassadors started hissing and growling at each other, Kalec had stepped on a very sensitive subject with that accusation.

Before someone got hurt the Queen stepped in. "Thats enough you two! What I want to know is where this child came from, and why isn't he awake"

"He passed out from shock and I placed a small sleep spell on him so he would not awaken while we fought, I did not think he would enjoy it" the Green Dragon explained. Shrugging his shoulders as best he could while holding the boy.

Alexstrasza had never pegged Itharius as being that considerate of Mortals. Most of his Flight didn't give a damn about human comforts.

"That explains one part. How did he get here though, a black fire ball doesn't tell much."

"That I can explain" said Chromoru " He is a Time-Traveler, his world is named Earth and is an amazing eight Time-Lines away! The amount of power necessary is staggering to say the least. Only Nozdormu could possibly have pulled him through. There is no one else besides the Titans who could have, and we all know they care not for one or two mortals. Not enough to pull a single one through time!"

Itharius knew that of all of them Chromie had the best reasoning to have the boy. But he'd be damned if he would hand the child over. Those lovely eyes filled with forests and dreams belong to the Green. Their petty claims meant little to him.

The Life-Binder sighed, why was everyone fighting over a Human child? Okay he was a time traveling Mage that fell from the sky in a black fireball. Still though, it was just a Human boy when you looked at him.

"Itharius wake that boy up please, I believe we need to have a talk with him"

For the first time in his life Itharius really wanted to say no. No, No, NO! And then fly back to his swamp. Of course that wasn't an option but oh it was tempting to do, so very tempting.

Very much against his will he allowed the sleep to fade from the boys face, Impatiently he waited for those eyes to open. Not so he could hand the boy over, but for his own pleasure.

It took a few moments, but the soot covered child's eyelids fluttered open, he gave a loud yawn and looked around. Seeming disappointed.

"I just had the best dream" he whispered "why'd I have to wake up"

Itharius slowly walked forward to the Red Aspect, but his eyes never left the boy.

"What did you dream of" he asked kindly, but very interested. Maybe his claim was as good as the others if the boy's magic induced dream was..

"Oh the world was beautiful and green, Flowers and animals everywhere! I've never seen such a beautiful place...but it was only a dream..."

All the dragons had heard, the boy could access the Emerald dream. Itharius's claim on the boy was as valid as all the others now.

Softly he set the boy on his feet, but didn't let go completely, one hand was still on his shoulder, to keep him balanced and if need be to sweep him back up and fly off.

The Queen of all Dragons looked at the boy for a few moments in silence. It was odd, meeting a mortal that she did not know had come into being. For she was the queen of life, all those who lived she knew, except this boy.

"What is your name young one" she asked kindly.

Those green eyes blinked for a moment like he didn't understand the question. Then slowly, very slowly, a smile of pure happiness came across his face.

Even covered in soot and ash that smile was something to behold.

"My name...you really don't know it?" the child asked happily.

For a moment Alexstrasza almost got mad, thinking this boy was happy to have gotten one over on her. His smile though held no malice, but pure joy. He was happy to not be known.

"I am Harry Potter, It's nice to meet you"

"Hello Harry Potter, I am Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, Queen of the Dragons. It is nice to meet you too"

Harry's jaw dropped open and he stared now. "Queen of the...Dra...Dragons?" He asked, more then a little surprised.

"Yes," she chuckled at the boys mental plight "I am the Red Dragon Aspect, Guardian of Life"

"But you look, normal-ish I mean not to sound mean your tall and have horns, but Dragons in my world are fire-breathing well...giant lizards."

The Queen threw her head back and laughed. That was the first time she had ever been called a lizard for sure!

"I understand your hesitation to believe I am a Dragon. But where we stand is not big enough for me to show my true form, but if you turn around you can see some of my kin."

The boy whipped around so fast she was surprised he kept his footing, although Itharius's steadying hand probably had something to do with that.

Harry stared at the variable legion of dragons that had been behind him the whole time. His verdant eyes seemed enraptured to Torastrasza, who was standing in her full Dragon form on the ledge protruding from the tower. She shook her head nervously causing the scales on her neck to clink together.

The black haired child's stare suddenly came to Itharius "Your a Dragon to, arn't you"

The false-high elf chuckled and nodded, "My name is Itharius, I am the Ambassador of the Green Dragonflight."

The child looked around wide eyed "Are all of you dragons?" he squeaked, sounding a little frightened.

Chromie, Kalec, and Nalice hesitantly nodded at him.

Itharius groaned, was the boy about to faint again. He looked like he was.

"Settle down Harry Potter, None of use will harm you if that is your fear, we stand on holy ground for us. Bloodshed is not allowed."

"No, no..I'm fine...Just the last time I was face to face with a dragon, it tried to set me on fire and swallow me whole..."

Kalec snorted "Maybe it was Nalice"

Nalice glared back "Maybe you should watch your mouth, little traitor"

Kalec tensed up, a fight was on coming.

The boy did something very, very, stupid but brave.

He ran over to Nalice and Kalec, and rapidly hugged each one then ran back to Itharius.

Both dumbfounded dragons stared incredulously at the child who was busy peeking from behind the High Elf. It was obvious Harry was grinning like a loon to.

"What was that!" Nalice demanded.

"A hug" came the muffled voice "I found that when people are going to fight if you do something randomly nice the steam goes away"

He was right to, neither Nalice or Kalec could bring themselves to murder one another after that.

Alexstrasza was very interested now. How many times had she tried and failed to stop the fight between those two and failed miserably. The child was special, and like any Dragon, it was in her nature to covet special objects. He should belong to her brood no doubt.

"Harry Potter do you have any idea how you came to this world?" Asked Chromie from below, well not that far below, Harry was still far to short for his age. Of course that was his aunt and uncles fault. Still he stepped out from behind the large man that had been hiding him.

"I remember...I was at my school. Where I come from I am very famous, and people are constantly following me or hounding me for stories, I hate being famous though, and no one would leave me alone. So one day I kind of..snapped..." Harry looked down "I just couldn't stop my magic, It just came out and did what it wanted. I know a hurt a lot of people too"

Alexstrasza was relieved to note the boy sounded extremely remorseful for that.

"They just wouldn't leave though" The soot covered one continued. Starting to sound agitated "Even after I hurt them and said stay away I had no peace." Itharius paced his pale hand on the boys shoulder as a grounding presence, Harry smiled at him for a moment before returning to Chromoru.

"So I hid away in a secret area of the school that only I could get to. In there was this huge statue, I thought it was of an old teacher but I read on it that it was an alter to a man named Aman'Thul or something like that."

All the Dragons looked surprised at the name. Especially Chromie who had her jaw hanging open.

"Ummm whats that look for" he asked the Bronze Dragon nervously.

"Lord Aman'Thul...I will explain...please..finish your story first" she said after a moment as she recomposed herself.

Harry nodded and went on with it "Well I became really interested with the statue once I found out it wasn't what I thought. At first I thought it was meant to be another Wizard, but as I discovered more, It was to a Titan! Or well, thats at least what they believed him to be back in the Teachers day. He was the leader of the Titans too, and he was the wisest of beings."

All the Dragons nodded at that. The High Father was defiantly the wisest of beings.

"So I umm, I was never very religious before I came to school. So I thought what the heck, I kind of well, started to worship Aman'Thul and suddenly I had a reason to do stuff, not to run away from fame, but a new dedication." He smiled kind-of, not one of the happy smiles, but one that spoke volumes of being uncomfortable. "I left gifts of candles, my texts books from years before, anything kind of related to knowledge and magic"

"Then I started to notice, the books I left were disappearing, and the candles that I always blew out before leaving had become nothing more then wax on the floor. At first I was afraid someone had found my alter, so I set traps to catch anyone sneaking down there. I never caught anyone."

"Still my books would be taken though, and when they were returned some had become blank or the words would have bleed together. I became convinced that Aman'Thul was real, or at least some being was posing as him and reading my stuff"

"Of course my friends, not that I should still call them that after what happened, noticed my sudden compulsion to buy books and how I disappeared for hours at a time. They followed me down to where they shouldn't have been able to go. I was to trusting of my traps. They found me lighting my candles and reading the books to the statue. They thought I had gone crazy, so they tried to stun me"

There was an equal growl of outrage the went around the tower.

"I heard the spell though and got out of the way before it hit. It was two on one with me as the one. I am a good fighter under normal circumstance, but being unarmed and facing my friends was not the best of terms" he sighed sadly "So, I let my magic out again. I figured if they wanted to attack me then they should have prepared to face it. Of course they hadn't and they were flung against the wall and knocked out, or dead, I really don't know."

"Suddenly the mouth of the statue opened and everything was white. I heard this voice, It was old and strange, but he sounded so wise...He asked me if I would like to be free of those who would do me harm."

Harry chuckled "I really thought I had died the way he said that"

"But I said yes anyways. Even if It was death it couldn't be worse then what I had been living through. As soon as I agreed I felt like I was on fire. I think I screamed but I'm not sure, but the burning went away and everything was warm. The voice told me that where he was sending me I should be immune to fire. I guess thats what he did, of course though when I wake up I'm in the middle of a frozen waste land..."

Once it became apparent that that was the end of the story Chromie's enraptured look was quickly hidden. She gave a soft cough "Ah well, I guess that means that It wasn't Nozdormu who sent you here." she grumbled something so soft no one could hear it then turned back to the boy "Aman'Thul is one of the creators of all worlds, ours, yours and all in between. He is the leader of all Titans, and is the one to give power to the leader of my kind of Dragons. The Bronze Dragonflight keepers of Time. He...he has never shown interest in a single person before, which is why It is hard to believe your story"

Harry shrugged his shoulders "Maybe he's never taken and interest cause no one has ever worshiped him not hoping to get something? That seems to be the point of many religions"

Chromie had to admit the boy had a good point.

"So your not here because of the Bronze Dragons" came Nalice's voice "And the Titan sent you flying here in a ball of black fire, see! My claim is legitimate, he is here to be away from those who would harm him and who better to protect then the Black Dragonflight!"

"Ha!" Kalec laughed tersely "The Great-father was wise to send him here, he is a magical child. He is here to be safe with the Guardians of MAGIC, it is obvious"

The fight over Harry had started anew, only know the boy had some idea what the hell was going on.

Everyone was making claims on him now. Even the queen seemed to have gained some interest in him now that she had heard his speech. Harry was worried, back at Hogwarts Hagird had always told him that Dragons hoarded objects they found curious or special. Harry didn't want to be a treasure that these Dragons fought over.

They wouldn't stop though, nothing stopped them. Nalice started to spit out chunks of obsidian and magma as she raved on her claim of him. Itharius was growling and green acid was leaking from between his clenched jaws. Even Chromie was having to stop to cough up what looked like gobs of sand before retuning to her yelling.

Harry watched them all slightly horrified, but enraptured. They were fighting to have him, to protect him, who would be best for this, who was it meant to be. It was the first time he had every been fought over for something so...wonderful.

But still It was fighting, and dragons fighting over you is unnerving.

"QUIT IT" he finally yelled, catching all of their attention. "Your yelling and fighting is getting no where!"

There was an very deep silence as all of the Dragons stared at him. Harry stared to turn red from embarrassment. Okay, maybe yelling at the leaders of a bunch of dragons wasn't his brightest idea ever.

"I mean, why not, I dunno...let me choose instead of your fighting, I am unbiased from all of you as I've never even been to this world. So my choice wouldn't reflect any of your views right?"

The Queen looked at the boy for a moment. He was quite wise, he would make a very good Red Dragon indeed.

"How about" Harry continued now that they seemed intrigued "I spend some time with each of you alone, You can tell me all the good stuff about your people and show me some of the places you stay, it would be fair that way."

One after another each of the Ambassadors thought it over and agreed, it seemed a fair decision. Of course everyone of them just knew that Harry would join their Flight.

"I agree this is the fairest way." Alexstrasza said after getting confirmation from Krasus that he was willing to go along with this. "So Harry Potter who do you choose to go with first"

Suddenly pinned by many eyes it took a lot of will power to not run away, not that there was anywhere to go he saw no stairs.

"Uh...How about alphabetical order"

The Red Queen smirked.

"Of your kind"

The smirk was gone as quick as it had come.

Nalice cheered out loud.

Despite being last Alexstrasza sucked it up. Because she was last that would mean her impression would be the most remembered she told herself. This would give her the best advantage.

"That will do, It is only fair. Black, Blue, Bronze, Green, Red. This is acceptable to us all?"

Itharius wanted to yell no again. The thought of those eyes going with the corrupted Black Dragons nearly sent him into a tizzy. What could he do though, nothing thats what. So he forced himself to nod in acceptance.

"We are all in agreement then. How long shall we have Harry Potter?"

"Have? OH! You mean how long to stay together...Well...is a week reasonable?"

"That seems fine by us. We are immortal Harry Potter, You could have asked for years"

Three weeks! He wouldn't see those Emerald's for THREE WEEKS! On the flip though, he would have Harry Potter all to himself for one week. Not to mention that the boy had asked to visit places they inhabited, his swamp would defiantly count. Going home to his cave with the boy, what a wonderful vacation.

"Very well, Nalice. You may leave the Shrine as you wish with the boy, but know. If he doesn't come back something very bad will happen. Understood."

"Of course, I have no fear of returning him. I will be chosen in the end, obviously." she flipped her black hair over her shoulders before turning to Harry, her usual cruel face having melted away for a moment. "Come child. Lets get you clean up and properly clothed for this wretched weather"

Harry shivered as he was reminded of the bitter cold, and forced himself away from Itharius who had been siphoning body heat from. Quickly he caught up with the Black Dragon and without pause took her hand.

She looked down at connection between them both. Grinned and said nothing.

This child who fell from the sky in Black Fire would come to understand that the Black Dragonflight was the only one for him.

She would make sure.
