Chapter 18: HARRY POTTER IN WESTEROS AS DOMERIC BOLTON Part-XVIII
* Down in the south, Petyr Baelish finally arrived in Vale. He would have spent some more time in Kings Landing but knew that the North was in a weak and desperate position right now. And if he played his cards right then he'll finally be united with his dear Cat. Not only that through her, he'll also gain the Kingdom of North and through her children, the Riverlands.
So many years of planning and it was finally all coming together.
Now he only needed to marry foolish Lysa and spend a few nights together with her before quite disposing of her.
* Harry was sitting in his guest room in Winterfell at evening and rewriting 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu from his memories when someone knocked on his door.
He opened it and found Sansa Stark waiting for him outside his door wearing a beautiful yet revealing dress.
"May I come in." She asked demurely and a simple use of legilimency told him that she was not really nervous but wanted to give him the illusion of having power over her so that it'll be easier for her to seduce him.
He raised an eyebrow at that, wondering if he should slam the door on her face. After all, he was a married man and she was trying to seduce him despite knowing that.
But then again, he wanted to know what she planned to do and opened the door with a smile "Please Lady Sansa."
He closed the door and turned around to face her and raised his eyebrows when he found that she had already discarded her clothes and was now standing totally naked in his room, looking a little nervous and trying to cover her parts with her hands while trying to bite her lip. All to entice him to take her then and there.
Well, that escalated quickly.
He merely raised an eyebrow at her seduction attempt "I don't think Lady Catelyn would appreciate me fucking her unmarried daughter in her own castle." He said with a chuckle and picked up her clothes and gave them back to her "Please cover yourself Lady Sansa. Then we can talk about this whole… situation."
Sansa's cheeks turned red with embarrassment at his lack of interest in her body. Not that he wasn't interested. He just wasn't going to cheat on his wife behind her back.
After Sansa wore her clothes back once again, he sat down on a chair and told her to sit on the bed in front of him.
And then they talked.
Turned out that her mother Lady Catelyn Stark wanted her to marry Smalljon Umber and was vehimently against the idea of her becoming his mistress. But Sansa was smart enough to know that even if she became his mistress of concubine, she'll held a higher position than if she married Smalljon Umber because of how powerful House Bolton was. Not to mention that by submitting herself to him, she'll be making sure that House Bolton doesn't move against House Stark in the future.
As she continued talking, he realized that he might have underestimated her.
The naive and foolish Sansa Stark that he knew from before she went to Kings Landing was no where to be found. In her place was a confident and smart Sansa Stark who knew about the intricacies of diplomacy and politics and was capable of taking actions on her own to ensure the safety of her house.
He could use someone like her.
But should he take her in his family.
She was smart. She was beautiful. And she was capable. Something that could not be said for most ladies in this world.
Why not?
"You'll come with me to Dreadfort once this War Council has ended." He told her "And then you'll have to convince both Dany and Ygritte of your worthiness to join the family. Because I won't sleep with you if they don't approve of you."
She gave a demure nod and made a show of wearing her seductive clothes while giving him a good look of her assets before she left his room.
He looked down at his pants which had a huge bulge in it. He might have control over his actions but he was still a young man.
He closed the door of his room securely and apparated back to Dreadfort in his room where Dany and Ygritte were resting.
He needed some pussy and he needed it now.
* Loras Tyrell looked at the incoming fleet from his place at the Wall and despite his few years of experience as well as his knowledge that the Tyrell-Lannister alliance slightly outnumbered the Baratheon, he couldn't help but feel a sliver of dread in his heart.
Especially when he looked at the catapults being readied on top of the wall with jars of wildfire kept beside it. Jars of Wildfire that the Lannisters were going to throw at the enemy forces.
He didn't knew why Cersei Lannister came up with the idea of using Wildfire in a battle like this. Didn't she knew how volatile the substance is. And if anything went wrong, it's likely that instead of the enemies, their own forces will burn.
He knew that if Tywin Lannister was alive. Or if even Tyrion Lannister was here, then they would have stopped the mad woman from using Wildfire like this. But now it was too late. The Baratheon forces as well as the Golden Company were already at the gates and they couldn't remove the Wildfire from the walls anymore.
So he donned his helmet, trying to hide the feeling of trepidation in his heart, rallied his soldiers and hoped that the Lannister won't burn themselves.
* Stannis held his soldiers back some distance from the mudgate and watched as the Catapults rained down large pots filled with Wildfire on his men.
He gritted his teeth as the moral of his men plummeted down with each hit but held his men back and hoped that Melisandre knew what she was doing.
She had not failed him so far so he was willing to trust her with this siege battle as well. Now if she would just hurry up do her magic.
* In one of the ships in Stannis' fleet, Ser Davos looked at the men being held back for some reason and wondered why King Stannis has not attacked the wall.
He knew that Melisandre and the King had made some plans for the start of the battle which'll give them a huge advantage but he didn't knew what it was.
He looked at Melisandre chanting some kind of spell some distance away from him while burning a few deserters as sacrifice for her blood magic and heard the screams of those as they were burnt alive.
He had hoped that he would be beside King Stannis during the siege but the King gave him the task to make sure that the Red Witch was safe and able to perform her magic without any disturbance.
He heard as the intensity of her chanting reached higher and higher along with the screams of those burning men until it reached an all time high and then…
'BOOOMMM!!!'
* Stannis and his men shielded their eyes from the explosion in front him as the Catapult and the men standing beside it along with the Mud gate, all vaporised within a moment.
The heat was of such intensity that Stannis could feel blisters on his hand even despite being drenched in water and from such a distance.
The explosion raised the temperature of the area to a huge degree and led to the other stacks of wildfire kept on top of the wall explode one by one.
As if someone had set off the fireworks, the whole wall around Kings Landing started burning as the various gates of the City burned down with it along with the soldiers guarding the gates.
"Hold." Stannis ordered as he saw his men looking at the demolished gates hungrily. The wildfire was still burning and if they tried to cross the gates now then they'll burn along with it.
"Hold. Do not attack." He chastised his men "Hold your position."
So they held their position at the beach and watched as the Lannister and Tyrell men burnt down because of the wildfire.
Then as if by an act of god, the wildfire burning at the gates suddenly dimmed in intensity.
He had a suspicion that it had something to do with Melisandre but didn't have time to think at the moment. So he led his men through the gates and the fight against the Lannister/Tyrell forces begin once again.
* Harry sat down near the base of a Weirwood tree and listened as one of the Child of the Forest known as Leaf (who was many times older than himself) taught him about the various magical herbs found in North and the land in the North of the Wall.
Magical plants were a rarity in this world. And he could understand the reason because the magic of the world was at an all time low a few years ago so most of the magical plants or races would have gone extinct (just like the Dragons).
But that didn't meant that all the Magical plants were dead and he was now trying to learn about them from Leaf so that he could try and save as many of them as possible.
He already had a green house that he had dedicated solely to the magical plants that he managed to find in various parts of North.
He hoped that he would be able to save some more magical plants and raise them properly on his own.
After all, he was not a master at making potions but he was sure that if he had the right ingredients then he would be able to create some useful potions with these plants that would come in handy in the future.
So far he had already managed to create a Warming potion from the plants known as Snakewood, Strangling vines and Asper flower.
He was also experiment with dragon blood as he had that in abundance thanks to Dany.
Even the runes created with Dragon Blood held three times more power than those that were created by his own mixture.
As he was learning more and more from Leaf, his Spy Master arrived and handed him a scroll sent by his spies in the South.
He opened it and found that Stannis has won the Siege of Kingslanding. But during the siege, a huge amount of wildfire exploded in various parts of Kingslanding and burnt down a good amount of houses.
Three days has passed since then and Stannis' forces had finally doused all the wildfire and had properly taken over the City.
Stannis has captured King Joffrey Baratheon, his two siblings, Regent Queen Cersei Lannister as well as Margeary Tyrell.
Jamie Lannister, Kevan Lannister, Loras Tyrell among many other high ranking officers in the Lannister/Tyrell army are said to have been burnt by the Wildfire.
After Stannis took care of all the fire in the city, he burnt down the Great Sept of Baelor and burnt down Cersei and her three children along with it.
He has taken Margeary Tyrell as hostage of war and plans to use her for future negotiations against the Tyrells.
Harry frowned when he read how Stannis burnt down the three children. Joffrey might have been an insane kid by his two sibling Marcella and Tommen were sweet kids. He didn't know what to think of Stannis anymore.
He might come up North to help them but he might also burn down the Godswood upon his arrival. And he couldn't let such a thing happen.
So he sat down on the ground and wondered what he should do about the new King Stannis Baratheon.
