Harry Potter was once again running from Dudley’s gang. Most days he would have given the gang a run around for a bit, then let Dudley get a few hits in. At worst he would usually suffer a few bruises, it made it easier for Dudley to explain it away.

Today wasn’t like the other days, Dudley instead of having his shit eating grin he had an ugly malicious scowl. Harry’s legs were burning with the exertion. As he looked back, he didn’t notice the stick on the ground and tripped over. He rolled over only to see Dudley standing above him, a malicious glare.

Dudley slammed into his boot into Harry’s stomach over and over again. He screamed in pain, the assault ceased as he felt himself being lifted up from the ground. Dudley slammed him into the ground head first, he then proceeded to jump onto his chest. Harry gritted his teeth as he felt one of his ribs break. Dudley then began wailing on his head repeated.

Harry felt his vision fading, the last thing he heard was the sound of arguing before darkness swallowed him. A voice pierced the darkness “Harry Potter, you have succumb to a terrible fate. Still this is not the end for you, you still have a role to play in the fate of this world but for now it is not your concern.”

As soon as the silence settled in, he felt something hard around him. He couldn't move much, Harry couldn’t tell what was happening until he felt something pushing on him. Then that power surged, he winced as the light from the sun blinded his eyes. He shook himself only to see dozens of tiny equines staring at him in awe, he was sitting in a room. His head sticking out of the roof, he saw an equine far smaller than the rest with eyes glowing white. Her face contorting in pain as tears flowed down her face.

Harry closed his eyes and focused, after a minute he opened his eyes. He was now about the same size as the little pony rather than taller than the room. He tried to pull himself to his feet, only to fall flat on his face. He shook his head and crawled towards the little pony, wrapping her with his body. He felt the energy start surging into him as the little pony eyes returned to normal and she seemed to fall asleep. The sudden shift of wight caused him to fall backwards, her weight pinning him to the floor.

Harry laid there as several ponies galloped over, they tired pulled the filly off of him and glared at when him he belched flame at them “Give her to us, you monster!”

A tall pristine white pony then trotted over behind them, her aurora like mane flowing as if in the wind. She looked down at the other ponies with disappointment “The young drake meant no harm, the filly there hatched his egg.”

As the tall pony approached Harry hissed, a purple barrier surrounded the two. The pony smiled “I’m Princess Celestia, I wish to return the filly to her parents.”

Harry was interrupted as the little pony slowly woke up, the little pony tried to leave but he pulled her back. She looked at him with a smile “It’s okay, that the Princess. She’s friendly, I promise.”

Harry let go of her, the barrier he created vanishing. She trotted over to the Princess, he crawled closely behind eyeing the Princess.

Celestia smiled “Come over here, little drake.”

Harry was confused, what did she mean by drake. He crawled over, she smiled “Thank for helping Twilight.” He looked at the little pony, no filly. She must have been the Twilight that Celestia mentioned.

Twilight trotted over and gave him a hug “I’m gonna call you Spike, because of your spikes.” Harry thought for a moment, as Harry Potter he was miserable. Maybe Spike could be a new life for him. Two ponies then approached, a grey pony and a grayish blue one. Spike hissed, Twilight smiled at him “Those are my parents Night Light and Twilight Velvet, they won’t hurt you.”

Spike eyed them with suspicion for a moment before nodding. One of those other ponies frowned “Princess, a baby dragon has no place with a filly of that age. We should take care of him.”

Celestia turned to them with a raised eyebrow “That dragon created a very powerful magical shield that I doubt any of you could break. His natural pool of magic is quite large, do you honestly believe you can contain him. Beside he seems rather protective of Twilight.”

Spike held onto Twilight's leg. Celestia smiled “I was planning on taking Twilight on as my personal student. This will means she will be sleeping in a specially prepared room in the castle.”

Spike blinked in confusion as Twilight danced around him “YES! YES! YES!” Spike was lifted onto Twilight's back by a purple glow. He blinked in confusion, was that this magic everyone was talking about. It sounded like the weird stuff he did back home. Was this why he was mistreated.

Twilight Velvet looked up “Princess, please take care of our daughter.”

Celestia nodded “I will make sure she is safe. I wish I could stay longer but I have quite a bit of work to do. I’m sorry.”

Wit that Twilight followed Celestia, Spike laid there as he looked around. Ponies eyed him with a mix of fear and curiosity. The books he had managed to snatch from Dudley’s room did portray dragons as fearsome creatures and know he was one. At least when he met Dudley again he could give him a real scare. He looked up at the grand castle, that was in front of them.

The guard regarded Spike with curiosity but didn’t seem to be bothered by his presence, the inside of castle had banners of the night and day in an alternating pattern. Soon they headed up a set of stairs to a tower room with several bookshelves and a bed in it. Twilight yawned and she laid down on the bed, he curled up beside her. Eventually falling into slumber himself.

Author's Note
