Bab 7: My mother's Identity
Chapter 7) Quirrell's demise… My mother was a what?! And where the hell am I?
In the night, around 12 o'clock, I was still awake talking with Micasa about how I should implement my various plans. We also were discussing how to get rid of Voldemort without much ruckus.
As for why she was with me instead of spying on Professor Quirrell? Well- She had put tiny microphones in his food. It would enable us to hear anything he says.
After checking that everyone was asleep, I closed the curtain around my bed, enacted a ward. It would keep the sound from being heard from outside.
"Micasa, could you show me the teacher's reaction on discovering the carcasses of the trolls?" I requested.
"Sure." She said as she stretched her tiny right hand forward, with her index fingers pointed outward. A green light shot from her index finger. It stopped in the middle and started solidifying into various vivid humanoid figures, which I recognized quite clearly. I created and installed the pensive 3d projecter in Micasa after coming to Hogwarts. There were several books in the library. I got the idea from hologram technology and magical pensive. Micasa was also able to make a new spell to show one's memory to others any time, without requiring any pensive bowl. It was all thanks to a spell-crafting software I designed. The software basically transforms various charms and spells into their fundamental level and then using arithmancy, it combines various parts to form new spells, sometimes even create new spells from scratch.
"Sir, the video will commence in 3... 2...1... 0..."
"Oh my god! What happened here!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed as she rushed toward the two huge bodies that were lying motionless on the stone floor. Following her were Dumbledore, Flitwick, Quirrell and Snape. Snape was staggering with his left foot.
"Did he get bit by Cerberus which was guarding the third floor?" I asked as I paused the hologram.
"Yes, sir. I followed him. He was checking for if there was any intruder in the third floor. But unfortunately he mishandled the Cerberus and got scratched by its paws." Micasa answered.
I resumed the projection.
"Filius! What do you suppose, caused their demise?" Professor McGonagall.
Professor Flitwick casted some diagnostic spells. After getting no response, he checked for any physical wound. He had to walk around to fully check the huge bodies.
"Hmm...there's no magical residue...lets see..." While checking their heads he noticed two piercings wound, "Right! I probably found out the cause of their demise."
"What is it?"
"You see here," He said pointing his fingers at the hole in the troll's glabella,"This looks like a wound made by being pierced by very sharp needle like object. The person who killed the trolls, did a very clean job."
"But who could've done it?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"It's probably the work of some foolish Gryffindor –"
"Severus! Don't always blame my Gryffindors without any evidence!"
While they were arguing, headmaster Dumbledore walked toward the carcasses. He with his elder wand, which I recognised quite clearly, casted some advanced diagnostic spells. One of them was quite dark.
"Hmm... Looks like we have a mystery to solve," He muttered quietly, "They are obviously killed by someone or something. And whoever it was, he didn't use magic."
He looked around and sighed.
"It's getting late. I think we should head to our bed. And don't mention today's unfortunate accident to anyone, it may cause panic among students." Dumbledore said with a thoughtful expression. They all nodded.
[Recording Ending in 3... 2... 1... 0]
Then all solid figures dissolved into a mist and gradually vanished into air.
"So, they are keeping silence about the incident. Well - that's to be expected from Dumbledore, he probably doesn't want any interference in his plans from the ministry's involvement in the school." I remarked.
"I also think so, sir," Micasa added, "He even warded the school mail and placed a subtle compulsion on the students that they won't write to their parents about anything major happening in the school. It's very complicated and requires a lot of power. I think he used the ambient mana gathered by the Hogwarts ward stone."
"That's true. Even though he doesn't have mystic library like me but he has panoply of complex spells."
"Micasa, find out when will Quirrell go to forbidden forest for the unicorn blood?" I said, "I changed the timeline significantly. I need to get rid of him as soon as possible. I don't know if he will harm any students or not."
"Okay, got it, sir." Micasa said as she vanished. With the help of the runes in the Vanishing Cabinet that I found in the room of hidden things. I could now magically teleport to any place I marked earlier. No wards could stop me. Well, I created some new warding scheme that has the capability to stop any kind intrusion even space-time.
My teleportation worked similarly to the Hiraishin jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) of Minato Namikaze [ A/N : Naruto anime. The creator of this space-time jutsu was Senju Tobirama, 2nd Hokage of Konoha]. I just needed to place a runic symbol in the teleporting destination. I could be place it anywhere just by tapping my finger single time.
...
Two and a half months passed pretty much uneventfully. I attended classes regularly although they were very boring. In the meantime I also taught Hermione. In two months she Completed first year course including the practical part. She became pretty proficient in casting spell silently. At first she was horrified how much wrongly we were being taught, when I listed all the mistakes the teachers were doing while casting spell or when I pointed out the mistakes in theory they were teaching. She even wanted to directly confront the professors about the mistakes. It was hard to convince her otherwise. I also taught her other things like martial arts and calligraphy. At first she was hesitant. But after I listed all the benefits, she was quite willing. The most funny thing that happened in the past two month was that Professor Snape couldn't find anything to punish me or deduct points from me. I was a perfect student. My potions were even better than what he could brew. I also help other students like Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Lavender Brown and so on. I also tried helping Ron but he was inveighing against any sort of studies. I was getting frustrated with him. He was even more childish and stupid than what shown in the movie. So I gave up on him. Speaking of other students, I also spoke with one other student regularly. There were very little mentions of her in the original Harry Potter book and even less in the movie. It was Sally-Anne Perks. She got sorted into Ravenclaw. Micasa found that she was a loner. It was not because she didn't want to have friends. The reason was the other popular girls like Cho Chang. They ignored her. Even Parvati Patil wasn't any better.
Sally was a hard worker. She studied very hard. Our first encounter wasn't anything special. I helped her with her homework once and after that time we became what can be called friends. She was a plain looking girl with some dimples on her cheeks. But she was charming in her own right if you get to know her. She was blunt and honest. I also noticed that the clothes she wore underneath her robe were pretty worn out and old. I found out that the other Ravenclaw students made fun of her because of this. I was very angry at those students. Even the prefects were bad.
Her family was quite poor. I confirmed it with Micasa. She was connected with the police database. I found out Sally's address and from the CCTV footage in the area, I could guess that her living condition wasn't any better. So I decided to help her with money I earned after patenting my various inventions that were not drastically revolutionary as I didn't want to change the future completely. If I calculated my earnings, It would be in billions. I donated most of them 9 orphanages, various organisations and hospitals that helped poor people. After living for two years in the small home, I had become accustomed to it. I was content with my current lifestyle. I didn't require much for myself.
It was mid October when I introduced Sally to Hermione.
"Hermione, this is -"
"Sally-Anne Perks. Yeah, I know, Ravenclaw first year." Hermione replied sharply.
"So, what is she doing here?" She asked.
The most significant thing that happened in the past two month was the 180 degree change in Hermione's behaviour. In the movie or the book she was a model student who just had problems making friends. Her attitude change might be due my influence. I shouldn't have tried to change her views on authoritative figures like Dumbledore so quickly. It's a fact that when someone suddenly realizes that most of their beliefs are wrong, they are bound to change. I could clearly see signs of craziness in her. She had become very possessive of me.
"Um... Hello. " Sally said awkwardly.
Hermione smiled.
"Hello, I am Hermione, Hermione Granger." Hermione said.
Then the awkwardness slowly diffused as they started conversing with each other. It was a good idea to introduce Hermione to a new friend. It was helping her finding balance. I could clearly see that she was gradually reverting back to her normal self. From then on, we three had a regular one day study session per week. I continued teaching Hermione separately, though.
Christmas arrived. Hermione and Sally had gone home. I had placed teleportation marker on both Hermione and Sally. It would allow me to reach them anytime and anywhere, if necessary. And speaking of Sally, she was very surprised when she reached home. Her parents picked her up from King's Cross Station in a new car. They even bought a new house with the money I donated. Obviously they didn't know it was charity. If they knew they might have refused. So I assigned the money as Sally's scholarship.
I also gave Hermione and Sally an amulet. It was riddled with lot of protection runes. It would stop minor spells and if someone with an ill intent approach them, it would heat up and it also had the teleporting function which would be unaffected by anti-portkey ward. I gave it as necklaces. I also gave Hermione a never-ending notebook.
Ron and some other students remained in Hogwarts. Christmas was an important day as it was the day when Harry got his invisibility cloak in the original timeline.
And surely I got the Invisibility cloak. It had the same note that said:
"Your father left this in my possession before he died.
It is time it was returned to you.
Use it well."
When I analysed it I got the biggest surprise of my life. It was a flawless piece of artefact. There was no rune work. There was nothing except some tracking spells, probably placed by Dumbledore. The book that got compiled after touching the Invisibility cloak said that it had essence of decay or rot. Dumbledore also placed compulsion on it so that I would visit an empty room. The room probably had the Mirror of Erised. So I decided to visit it. I was very curious about the working of the mirror.
...
It was after curfew when I used the invisibility cloak to sneak out of Gryffindor although I could've sneaked out in animagus form that was of a demiguise.
I followed the direction that the compulsion on the cloak intended me to. It was near the library.
When I entered the room. I could sense the presence of another person there. It was Dumbledore. He was surely waiting for me to show up.
I approached the mirror that was in the centre in the room. When I looked at it, a lone tear fell from eye. It showed my mother smiling and talking with me with my father in the back. I quickly composed myself and touched it.
Simultaneously five bold words appeared in my mystic library.
Heaven's mystic path is imperfect!
Then a book got compiled which was title less like all others. It listed all the flaws in the construction of the mirror. Well, I could now make a better version but first I needed to copy advanced alchemy books that Dumbledore had in his own collection.
I then took a closer look at the inscription on the mirror it said "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi".
"I show not your face but your heart's desire" I read it backwards.
"So, you have discovered the delight of mirror." I heard a voice from behind.
"I - I didn't see you sir." I acted surprised. I was already prepared for him appearing behind me.
"One doesn't need an Invisibility cloak to remain unseen." He said calmly.
"I expect you have realized by now what the mirror does?" He asked.
"It shows one's most deepest and desperate desire of our heart," I answered, "I see myself with my parents. But it cannot be fulfilled."
"Excellent! What you said is correct." He praised me.
"Professor, would you mind if I ask you a question? It - It's quite personal." I asked.
"It's okay, you may ask me." He nodded affirmative.
"What do you see when you look in the mirror?" I already knew the answer but still it didn't hurt to ask.
"I? I see myself holding a pair of thick woollen socks."
He might be seeing his sister, Ariana Dumbledore in the mirror. According to the original story his sister used to give him socks in Christmas.
...
It was April when Micasa found that Quirrell was planning to hunt for unicorn blood in the forbidden forest. The blood he was buying from Knockturn Alley wasn't enough to sustain Voldemort. He needed fresh unicorn blood.
In the last three months I had a major breakthrough. With the Ravenclaw's diadem that was one of Voldemort's hocrux, I made a radar device which could give me the direction of the location where other hocruxes were hidden. Although I knew where they were but it was better to be sure. And the radar could give me the direction of anything if I could have a sample of the things. It worked like how a point-me charm work except it worked for anything and no ward could fool it except for some complex ones like fidelius charm.
...
"Micasa, are you sure Quirrell will go to forbidden forest tonight?" I asked.
"Yes, I am pretty sure. He is getting weaker. If he doesn't feed on unicorn blood soon the body of Quirrell will be decayed." Micasa answered.
"Okay then, you will create some distraction for me to sneak out during night without being caught."
"Sure, no problem sir." She replied.
During night, I transformed into my demiguise form and turned invisible. As for the distraction, Micasa had cut the leash that kept Fluffy, the Cerberus, bound. She made sure no students were around at that time.
In the meantime I followed behind professor Quirrell. He was covered in dark cloak from head to toe. He almost looked like a dementor. While travelling to the forest, he occasionally looked around him to check whether he was being followed or not. Fortunately he couldn't see our sense me in my demiguise form. After following him for about five minutes, I reached the middle part of the forest where I noticed a herd of Unicorn.
Normal POV (3rd Person Narrator)
Harry in his demiguise form quietly followed behind Quirrell who was floating. Probably Voldemort was in control. His whole body was covered with the black cloak that was fluttering because of the wind resistance. He looked exactly like a dementor floating except he was shorter. He even paused, looked around to check if there was anyone else in the forest. After about five minutes he reached the middle part of the forest with Harry following behind, although he was unaware of Harry's presence. When he noticed a herd of unicorn herd he didn't waste anymore time. He quietly approached one of them. When he was at an optimum distance, he casted a body binding spell on one of the unicorn. Instantaneously the unicorn fell with all the other unicorns fleeing pretty fast.
He floated closer to the unicorn and raised his wand -
"EXPELLIARMUS" A sound came from behind.
Quirrell's wand flew out of his hand.
"Whhooo?" A shrill sound came from the professor. It wasn't his voice, it was Voldemort's. He turned around to see that Harry was standing with the vine wand in his wand pointing toward Voldemort.
"You can't even remember me," He taunted, "The lord Voldemort can't even remember a name - name of someone whose muggleborn mother was the reason behind his demise."
Voldemort summoned his wand. He used wand less magic. He then casted a series of green spells. His casting was very fast, almost looked like green laser. But Harry was faster. No spell came even close to him before he moved. He didn't even looked like he was trying.
"You boy, you don't know what are you talking about?" He yelled angrily, as he increased his spell casting speed. It went on similarly for few seconds.
"You are just like a child throwing a temper tantrum," Harry said while dodging all the spell seamlessly, "Your spell can't even reach me and you call yourself a lord. What a shame!"
The more Harry taunted him the more he kept firing spells. His speed was slowing down a little.
After a while Harry looked around to notice that Voldemort's dark spells were affecting the surroundings pretty badly.
One of Voldemort's spell just phased through Harry. Harry was moving so fast that his after image could be seen.
Harry then vanished from sight and appeared beside Voldemort with his right hand close to Voldemort's face.
"You see, my muggleborn mother is still protecting me." He whispered and grabbed his face and shoved him through a tree.
Quirrell clutched his face tightly while writhing in pain. Noticing that he couldn't possess the body any longer, Voldemort flew out of Quirrell's body in wrath like form. Meanwhile Quirrell gave a loud a shriek and turned to dust.
"Harry Potter, I'll come baaaccckkk..." he said as he tried possessing Harry.
Harry unleashed a little bit of his magic as a shockwave which radiated from him and pushed the wrath out of the way. Voldemort gave another shriek before flying away.
"Well, now that Voldemort's taken care of, I think I should check whether the philosopher's stone is real or not. If it's real I may be able to replicate it." He mumbled as he walked toward Hogwarts.
After walking a little bit, he paused and turned around. He narrowed his eyes probably concentrating on something.
"Who are you? I know you've been following me for quite some time." He yelled as he looked around probably looking for someone.
"So, you've sensed me," A calm female voice came from behind. He quickly turned around and jumped back assuming a defensive stance with his wand pointing toward her. She was fully green. Her dress looked like it was made out of leaves but it looked exotic. She had fresh green vines coiled around her waist. Her hair blueish green. Her eyes were glowing yellow.
"Who are you?" Harry asked calmly but he was little nervous inside. The woman in front of him, was overflowing with magic. He didn't know if his magical reserve could compare with her.
"I? I am what human calls dyrad. My name is Avellana. I am the protector of this forest." She flew toward him. She came very close to his face and started sniffing.
Harry didn't move. He was unsure of how to react.
"You - You smell of that bitch! The traitor!" She yelled angrily. About twenty to thirty sharp pointed roots sped toward Harry from the ground. Fortunately he dodged them in time.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked as he landed on the ground. He was confused who was the dyrad referring to?
"Oh, you don't know - she didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what? And who are you talking about?"
The green woman looked a little surprised.
"Boy, your mother didn't tell you anything about her kin?" She asked him.
"My mother died when I was fifteen months ol-"
"Boy, don't try to fool me, I don't how you did it or it was just an accident but you are not who you appear to be. I can clearly smell magic of three individuals on you, which shouldn't be possible." She said as she sent a wooden spear toward him with great speed. But Harry dodged it by jumping sideways.
"Did she found out about my real Identity? Is she talking about my mother from my previous lifetime?" He mumbled as he kept dodging barrage of wooden spears and pointy vines.
"Are you talking about Suzuki Lilise?" He asked.
"So the traitor didn't change her name." She muttered.
"But how can you know my real mother? She is from completely different reality!" He blurted out.
"Shit! I shouldn't have said that." He cursed himself.
"So, that's how she escaped from my curse and able give birth to you," She said.
Harry calmed himself down.
"Since my secret is out, why don't you tell me the reason behind you calling my mother, a traitor." Harry said.
"Your mother did something, something no dyrad are allowed. She sired a child with a human - you - you are a half dyrad, half human. Your magical capacity is already above norms. Your whole existence is abnormal, an abomination." The dyrad shouted. She sounded both angry and melancholic," I was soft then, I should've directly killed her instead of using sickness curse. Fortunately I can correct my mistake, I'll just have to kill yo -"
She didn't get finish her sentence as she was thrown back by huge Shockwave radiating from Harry. It even shook the whole forest. Harry's whole body was surrounded by green miasma, his hair standing upright shining bright silver with his eyes complete black. He was slowly ascending the air.
Meanwhile, the dyrad steadied herself with the help of vine like structure.
"You are very powerful," She said as she extended both her hands forward. They glowed green and thousands of vines came out of the ground, "If I don't kill you now, you will become way too powerful for me to handle."
All the vines sped toward the floating figure of Harry, the glow around him becoming brighter every seconds.
When the vines were about a meter away from Harry -
Boom!
An explosion shook the ground. There were dust everywhere around them. As the dust settled, Harry's lean figure could be seen floating about a meter above the ground. His hair was completely white, eyes were fully black and his robes were torn. Shredded parts of woods were everywhere.
*half demonic, half human speech*
"It was you - you are the reason my mother died," He said. His voice alternating between hollow and normal tone, "I will kill, I will make you pay for killing my mother."
He flicked his wand as big chunks rocks started flying toward the dyrad. She deflected each of them using thick vines that came out of the ground and even the tree shielded her. She was in complete control of the flora.
"Boy! If you were older and you had better control over your magic, you could've given me a hard time. But unfortunately you're not," She said as her whole body glowed green. Seconds later, a wave of green stream shot from both of her hand and sped toward Harry.
When it was about to collide with the still glowing figure of Harry, it stopped and dissipated.
"You are sadly very mistaken about my full power," Harry's voice could be heard from above,"And just so you know before you cease to exist, I am both mature and in full control of my magic."
His hair was now normal except for its full silvery white colour. His speech pattern returned to normal. He was in full control.
He pointed his finger toward her and whispered "QUOD CEDANT IN NIHILUM". A black sphere shot from his index finger. It got bigger and bigger as it sped toward her. She also gathered energy in both her hand and released it in full force. The moment their magic met, the space started distorting around it due to such high energy. But they didn't cease their assault. Both increased their power output. Sometimes the dyrad's magic came dangerously closer to Harry but the next moment Harry's magic pushed it closer to the dyrad. The same phenomenon went on for quite a while. Both of them were getting frustrated.
"Looks like I've no choice but to go all out." Harry muttered as black miasma started gathering around his hand. His surroundings, grass, trees and so on, were turning black and withered as if life was being sucked out of the plants. The meeting point of their magic gradually got closer to the dyrad.
The dyrad's eyes widened. She unleashed her full power but it was futile. Harry's magic was slowly eating away her magic.
"I might die but I will take you with me, Ahhh" The dyrad yelled, as her whole body started glowing red.
The distortion in space got worse, now a tear could be seen. And then suddenly the body of the dyrad exploded. The space started collapsing on itself. A wormhole formed in the centre.
"Oh! Shit!" Harry casted a cocoon like around him before he got sucked into the wormhole with all the debris.
When the dust got settled, a large crater could be seen with no sign of life. Even the trees around the crater looked dead. There was no sign of either Harry or the dyrad. Only bits of body parts of the dyrad could be seen lying around.
After few moments, a creature that looked like a horse with upper human body came galloping from the deeper part of the forest. It was a Centaur.
"The dyrad is no longer alive, a new one will be born soon... But who's powerful enough to kill a dyrad?" He muttered to himself.
He then looked above.
"Mars' is bright today... war is near... great change is coming..." He kept mumbling as he disappeared into the deep forest.
...
In an empty alleyway in Hogsmeade, a blue cocoon like structure simmered into existence.
"Ouch!" A pain cry came from inside, when it landed on the ground with a thud. A small crack appeared on its surface which throughout the whole surface every second. From within, Harry came out. His body was covered in slime.
"I should've created a better spell that didn't cover me in slime." He said while cleaning himself.
"Let's see, where am I?" He walked out of the alleyway. The street was empty and covered in snow.
"How the he the weather changed so suddenly?" He cursed under his breath.
Then he heard shouting. It was coming from a shop about 100 meters away. It looked like two students were being attacked by a dark wizard.
"She looks familiar..." He muttered as he rushed toward them.
A few minutes earlier...
At the moment when Evan closed the shop's door, Hermione looked as if she almost him forever.
She held the Evan tightly in her arms and dared not to let go of him. She feared she would lose him if her arms were ever loosened.
Seeing Hermione's sad face, Evan wanted to reach out and wipe off her tears, but he didn't have enough strength for that, he didn't have strength to breathe. He could only lie quietly in Hermione's warm arms.
Her tears flowed across her cheeks to fall into his mouth. They were salty, but to him they were so sweet.
If there wasn't a dark wizard and a werewolf in range, Evan would've been at his happiest.
"Get up and bite them, hurry up!" In front of them, the anxious man with the black mask began to urge, "We have wasted too much time. We must get out of here fast."
Greyback roared and rushed back at them again.
Because of the corrosion curse, the flesh on his face was all exposed.
That, along with his reckless madness and ferocious nature, made him look more horrible than he ever was!
"Go, Hermione, leave me alone!" Evan shouted anxiously.
"I won't leave. So far, you've been protecting me. Now it's my turn!" Hermione made up her mind and said softly, "I'll protect you, Evan!"
"Don't do something stupid. You're no opponent for that guy!" Evan had an ominous hunch hearing Hermione's words.
He struggled to stand up, but he had no strength.
But then, his eyes widened as he saw Hermione standing in front of him. She held her wand against the approaching Greyback. Her face was full of panic, but her eyes were so determined. She was ready to block the werewolf with her feeble body.
Hermione knew that she was no opponent of Greyback, but there was only one thought going across her head, and that was giving her all to protect Evan!
"No!" Evan wanted to stop her.
To Greyback's strong body, hers was like that of a rag doll. Evan could not imagine what was going to happen next
But before Greyback could reach her, a hand grabbed him by his face and threw him backwards.
"You shouldn't threaten children, you know," Harold (Harry) said, "Are you two okay?"
Both Evans and Hermione slowly opened their eyes.
"Wh-who are you?" Hermione managed to croak out. Her adrenaline still high.
Evan managed to stand up with Hermione's help. He also looked at Harold confused.
"I am you friendly neighbourhood Magic Man," Harold said while doing a comical pose. Seeing no reaction from the Hermione and Evans, he composed himself and "Er- it was just a joke, I am Harold. I was just passing -"
Greyback jumped at Harold but again got thrown by Harold's round horse kick directly on his face.
"- so as I was saying before this nuisance thought it would be wise to interrupt, you see, I was just passing by when I saw adults bullying children I decided to intervene." He kept talking with them.
Evan and Hermione were both caught off guard by the Harold's aloofness.
Greyback again rose from the ground. This time he looked extremely pissed. He was being thrown just like ragdoll by a little kid. He lunged forward with full force, his already battered body could muster. This time it looked like the werewolf would reach Harold. But when his claws were about an inch from Harold's back -
"SPLICH!" An impaling sound rang out.
Greyback was impaled on a sharp spear that shot out from the ground. The spear pierced through right through his heart. He died right on the spot. His visage clearly showed the shock and pain at the last moment of his life.
"Oops! Sorry, I didn't see you there... nah, I was just kidding," Harold voice changed from normal flippant tone to hollow demonic tone, "Two things I hate most, rapist and killer, who kills for fun and you belong to the second category-"
He then sent a withering curse to the wizard who accompanied Greyback, who was about to send a curse toward Harold. The moment it hit the wizard in the mask, his body turned to dust in an instant.
"- that includes you."
"That was very brave of you Miss- "
"Hermione, Hermione Granger." Now that she calmed down, she could reply clearly.
"Ah yes, miss Hermione, it takes a lot of courage to defend another's life your own life that's in risk," He said, "(sigh) I wish, I had a girlfriend like you. You are very luck, boy."
"No, we are no- " before Evan and Hermione finish their sentence, Harold simmered out of existence.
"What the hell just happened! Just who was he?" They both exclaimed out loud in unison. But their shock turned into
horror when they finally realised what just happened. They went from being prey to a werewolf to them being saved by a stranger but the werewolf being impaled in the chest.
...
In a room that was full of random things. They were covered in thick layer of dust.
"F*ck!" a cursing voice came from thin air, as a figure simmered into existence. It was Harold.
"Well, at least the co-ordinate of Room of Requirements didn't change," He muttered.
"I should've just used my full power from the start. No... I had to show off my power and look! What it got me into. I am now in a f*cking new dimension," He complained loudly to himself, "I have to find a way to return to my home dimension."
He then conjured a chair and sat down.
"At least I know some bits of this reality, it was probably named Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures. I should've read the whole story, I don't know what happened after fifth year." He muttered, "hmm... Evan and Hermione were almost bitten by Greyback, that means I am currently at end of Harry's third year and that also means Ron is still in Pettigrew's control. Well - I just need to catch the rat. But first I need to find a way to contact Micasa, otherwise she may turn the whole castle upside down just to find me."
...
Harold's POV
After constantly thinking and experimenting for about thirteen hours, I had found a method to contact Micasa. The device I made worked on the principle of Quantum entanglement. It was shaped like simple mobile phone. I didn't know it'll work properly or not. The mystic library had said it had no imperfections but what I was worried was the difference in time of both dimensions. My home dimension was in the past compared to my current dimension.
"Well, no harm in trying," I muttered as I switched on the device, "Hello, helloo, helllooo, can you hear me Micasa."
It was silent for a moment.
"Hello, hello-"
"Yes sir, I can hear you and where are you sir? Just what happened in the forest? There was this big crater in the middle of the forest." I heard Micasa voice, it sounded relieved.
"Well, I am currently in an alternate dimension-"
"How did you end up in- oh! That means the huge magical surge in the forest was yours, it must have created some kind of wormhole and sucked you in it," She muttered to herself, "What exactly happened in the forest, sir?"
"Well, in simple words, I found out my mom's real identity. She was a dyrad, but she broke taboo by conceiving me with a human she fell in love, so this another dyrad cursed my mom with the intention of killing. It may sound crazy, but mom crossed over to another reality. I don't how she did it. Well... yes, as I was saying the dyrad who cursed my mom tried to kill me and then the fight broke out. I underestimated her and her I am now," I paused," and yes, that's the gist of it."
"I see."
"Ah! Yes, how long it had been since my disappearance?"
"It's about 15 hrs."
"So that means there's not much difference in flow of time." I was relieved.
"Sir, what did you find out about dimension you're currently in?"
"Well, luckily, I know the storyline of what happened in the near future in this reality," I said, "You know, the fanfiction Harry Potter and the secret treasures, you probably have information on it in your database. I have uploaded everything I knew."
"Yes sir, I have it."
"Well, let Hermione and Sally know that I am okay. Just use letter or something and be sure that no one catch wind of it that they know my wellbeing. Their connection to me may cause unnecessary troubles."
"Okay, I'll let them know."
"Ah! One last thing! Kill whoever tries to harm the girls," I paused, "and make sure that no one make the connection between the two."
"It'll be done, sir"
"Bye then, I'll talk to you later"
...
I took out the marauder map I made. I improved its function a lot. It not only showed a person's position in Hogwarts, but also live feed if I touched on the name of the person. It was like a crystal ball scrying.
When I looked for Peter Pettigrew, it showed that he was currently in an unused room in his animagus form i.e., of a rat. He was probably hiding.
I transformed into demiguise and turned invisible. It was a convenient ability.
...
I entered the room in which Pettigrew was hiding. I phased through the wall, as I didn't want to alert him of my arrival and also to bypass the Boggart without any problem. Phasing was a variation of my teleportation spell that I invented.
I looked around a bit to notice a movement in the dark corner of a shelf that was mostly empty. I walked toward the self without making any noise. It was a rat.
I recognized the rat. It's toe was missing and that's all I needed to make a connection between it and Peter Pettigrew.
"Well, well, well. Looks like I have the traitor in my grasp." I said as I pointed my wand toward the rat. It tried to run but I conjured cage around it. The rat then started getting bigger and gradually transformed into a human.
"Wh-who are you?" He stuttered. I knew he was pretending to be weak and scared, looking for a way to escape.
"I? I am just a responsible citizen of the universe who is going to teach you a lesson, you should've learned earlier," After that, I cursed him with a dementia spell. It would make him face his worst nightmare.
He started screaming and thrashing on the ground. He looked like he was trying to run from someone or something. I had to cast silencing spell just to stop his voice from being heard from outside.
After few he looked exhausted, so I decided to undo the curse.
"Well, it's time for you go to Azkaban."
"No, please don't, I don't to go near dementors, please spare me..." He begged. I ignored his plea. When my back was turned toward him, he tried to tackle me. But before he could reach me, I turned him back to his animagus form. It was a reverse animagus spell and like all the other spell I used, it was created by me.
I put him inside a cage that had magic dampening effect. It was also unbreakable.
I was going to give it to Evans. He would turn him to the authorities. Sirius's name would cleared that way.
And then I realised something, something very important.
"Oh! F*ck! How could I be so careless? I had completely forgotten about Sirius Black of my home dimension! I need to contact Micasa soon." I cursed loudly.
…
I then remembered something very important. While Greyback was attacking Hogsmeade, other werewolves who were supporters of Voldemort was going to attack a muggle village.
I was feeling guilty, if I had remembered, I could've stopped so many people from dying. But suddenly a brilliant idea struck my mind.
'Why not use a Time Turner? But where would I get one? Ah! Yes! I might get it from the room of requirements.' I thought.
I then quickly teleported in front of the wall located in the left corridor of seventh floor. I had put Pettigrew in stasis and placed him in my infinite capacity pouch. I then wished three times, for a room that had time turners inside it. A huge door appeared. I pushed the door open to see a long corridor with huge shelves on either side of it. But the things that caught my eye were the little bibelots, that were on each shelf secured inside glassed case. They were time turners.
I was literally in a room with thousands of Time Turner.
I opened one of the case which was made out of quartz crystal. Inside it was the Time Turner. It looked like a small stop watch that was fitted in a gyroscope. The frame was entirely made of gold. It looked delicate but beautiful.
I then teleported in one of abondoned buildings in Hogsmeade. It was a rundown place, I then turned the clock hand of the time turner nine times, my surroundings changed a little but there was no major change. I knew that turning back time using a time turner more than 3 hours might be dangerous, so I had used the concept of space-time continuum to stabilize the passageway of time. In simple terms I had placed myself out of timestream and then reenter it nine hours back. It's maximum turning time limit is 15 hours.
...
I was searching for werewolves who were in Knockturn Alley. I wanted to know which village they would be targeting. And as I was hoping I noticed a werewolf. I decided to use the most efficient way to gain information from him. So I approached him and used full force legilimens. I had placed or notice-me-not ward around us earlier, a very strong one at that. I was disgusted from what I found in his mind. He had killed several people including children. So I decided to use my favourite curse, self-reflecting curse. It induces life-like hallucinations and makes you relive all those crimes you crime you committed, in your victims perspective. It was really complex but an effective one. The only way to break the curse is to feel extreme regret and a burning desire to become good.
He started screaming and thrashing around the ground, the moment my curse hit him.
I then canceled the notice-me-not ward and simmered out of existence.
...
I appeared near Addington. It was beautiful village located in Croydon, 11.2 miles from Charing Cross. After rummaging through his head, I found out that this village was their target.
The village was in chaos. I rushed in full speed. I then floated above the village and casted a wide area body bind spell. The spell was handy. It basically stops the movement of any living organism that has a brain except for the caster. It's range is 2 miles radially.
The moment I casted the spell, I knew that soon the ministry official would be here due to the huge surge of magical energy, my spell caused. So I had to hurry. So what I did was to put every werewolves, who were involved in the attack, in dementia curse (nightmare inducing curse). And the other things I did was to heal the injured villagers. They were unconscious. I even cured the ones of lycanthropy who were bitten in the attacks. It requires a lot of power to overpower and completely erase the werewolves side. It only works on people who were recently bitten by werewolf.
I was finished within minutes. I then tied up all the werewolves with a thick rope I conjured and then fasten rope around a piller. They were still unconscious. The dementia spell would start its effect only after they were conscious.
After taking care of all that, I teleported to the rooftop of an abandoned building that I had marked earlier.
...
I had about £10 million muggle money. I converted half of it to wizard currency i.e., Galleons.
I was going to take both my O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s exam under ICW. It didn't require me to study under any school. I only needed to be of a certain minimum age, which could be arranged using blood magic. I would be opening a apothecary shop in Hogsmeade. It would make it easier for me remain close to Hogwarts all the time, where all the major events were centered in.
And also I was bored with all that hide and seek. I also wanted to access all the magical knowledge present in this dimension. The magical theories were pretty advanced in this dimension. There were more knowledge on soul magic, time magic, blood based magic, ritual magic and so on. And there were also other beings that were connected to this realm, like Cthulhu, Titans, Egyptian gods etc. I knew they were not real gods but truly powerful. If I wanted to compete with them I needed to gather more knowledge and power. I also needed to find a way to return to my he dimension.
I was also intrigued by the Slytherine's locket. According to the Web novel it had the ability to increase one's magical capacity. I wanted to analyse it. With my mystic library I could reverse engineer it and build a more sophisticated and perfected version of it.
...
After the nine hour passed, I again teleported inside Hogwarts. I wanted to see Lucius's reaction when he hears that the werewolf attack he had planned had been a complete failure. And the minister might pee his pants hearing the news that a single person was able subdue a pack of werewolves easily.
I transformed into my demiguise form and went into the hospital wing. Hermione and Evans were being chided by Madam Pomfrey, the matron of Hogwarts. Headmaster Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, Professor Mcgonagall and Hagrid were present. I entered the room quietly. Malfoy senior was also there.
"There's something wrong, there must be something I don't know about."
He hurriedly looked at Dumbledore beside him, who looked calm. Evan couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Those things really happened, but what does this have to do with you?" Dumbledore's blue eyes kept staring at Lucius.
"It has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with this unpleasant news that I'm bringing." Malfoy said with a plummy accent. "It's so terrible. You may not have realized what happened."
"What happened?" Fudge asked subconsciously. He twisted his body and felt a little uneasy.
"A werewolf riot!" Lucius said slowly, and his tone was too calm for the words he was saying. "While Hogsmeade was being attacked by that werewolf, there were many other attacks in Muggle cities. On this unfortunate full-moon night, the werewolves spontaneously gathered and attacked the Muggles."
"What?!" Fudge's eyes widened and his face turned pale. "You are kidding, Lucius, how could there be werewolf attacks? No one has told me of this thing until now!"
"These are my personal sources of intelligence, Minister!" Lucius said with a wink and continued, "My sources are very reliable. I don't think it will take long before the Ministry reports details to you."
"This is not possible. All werewolves are under the control of the Werewolf Registry. They cannot be…"
Fudge stopped suddenly. Just an hour ago, under his nose, a werewolf attack had occurred.
When Evan and Hermione mentioned this matter, he thought that it was just the rambling of two children, and was instinctively unwilling to believe that this would ever happen.
But now that Lucius Malfoy had also reported this to him, what Evan and Hermione were talking about was no longer just a conspiracy, the attack actually happened!
Just as Evan was about to say something, a large gray owl suddenly flew in through the window. It was a messenger of the Ministry of Magic. It went straight to Fudge.
He hurriedly took the letter out from the owl's mouth. He took the envelope apart and read it carefully. His face showed well just how bad it was.
"Dear Lucius, what you said was true. There really was a massive werewolf riot. But attack didn't succeed. It happened in a small village in South London. All the werewolves who attacked were mysteriously found tied up and unconscious. When they returned to consciousness, they started screaming. Even the medi-witches and -wizards in St. Mungo's can't find the reason behind it." Fudge's voice was not loud, but it rang through the quiet room. He turned and looked at Dumbledore, saying in panic "I'm sorry, Albus! I must get back to the Ministry as soon as possible to deal with this unexpected incident. If you can, I hope you would…"
Lucius face looked like he had just swallowed a pickle. I really wanted to laugh out loud. Fortunately my occlumency shield helped me calm myself. When Everyone left except for Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey.
Evan heaved a sigh of relief. He then turned toward Dumbledore.
"Professor, can I and Hermione talk to you alone after after dinner. We might be able give you a detailed explanation of what happened in Hogsmeade," He said as he looked toward Hermione who was fidgeting with her hands, "We have seen the face of the person who killed Greyback. We wanted to discuss it with you before telling anything to the authorities." He said.
"Of course, my boy. No problem. And you did a very good job." Dumbledore said.
"That's enough both of you, you both need rest."
"Okay, okay." Both Evan and Hermione said simultaneously.
"I might need to change my face during my stay in Hogsmeade." I muttered.
to be continued...
A/N : I am very sorry guys. The last chapter took a lot more time than expected. You see, I am currently doing a bachelor degree in Physics. So I don't have that much time for writing and proofreading my stories.
But I'll try to be on time next. So don't worry.
And if you're wondering in which dimension did Harold got transported, you read the story in any web novel site. It goes by the name, "Harry Potter and the Secret treasure". It's about a person who is reborn in Harry Potter Universe as Evans Mason. He is in constant struggle against a other worldly entity by the name "Cthulhu" who wants rule over the world. Its actually from Cthulhu Mythos. As the book is named Potter verse, so I will be doing crossover in various Harry Potter dimensions that includes some famous fanfiction available here which might include crossovers with other reality. So it's a crossover within crossover. That's all guys.
And how was the chapter guys? Please let me know in the comments.
Stay tuned for more chapter.
