AN: Hi!
A figure sat in the carriage silently, fingering a small pendent he had been passed by somebody that had passed him, it was a cancer symbol, a 69, memories he preferred not to think of… He gave a sigh as he cut his palm with a small blade, examining the candy red blood that came out, quite common on this planet, if only the others could see it… Damara, Rufioh, Mituna, Porrim, Latula, Aranea, Horuss, Kurloz, Cronus, Meenah… God he missed Meulin… Or, the second Meulin… His Disciple to be precise… He gave another sigh as the small cut healed quickly. "I'm s9 s9rry…" He muttered to himself. "If I had just 6een faster… Maybe I c9uld have changed this." He gave a sigh, what was done was done, and he couldn't change the past… He could only suffer… Heh, almost ironic, that the thing he died doing became his title, well… Other thing, not swearing a lot, that was just a lot of anger… Seeing everyone like that, with no memory of Beforus… Just trusting him and following blindly… He was unable to hold it in…
He looked as a figure walked past, before looking away quickly as someone entered.
"Excuse me, have you lost a toad? Neville's lost one." A girl with bushy hair asked annoyingly.
"N9 I haven't… Just leave me t9 suffer…" He muttered sadly.
"… k4nk? 1s th4t you?" The girl asked, her voice changing without warning.
"L-Latula?" He asked confused, full of both fear and hope.
"k4nkr1! 1 thought 1t w4s you!" She said happily.
"D-D9 y9u kn9w if…?" He asked hopefully.
"no, but… 4r3 you ok4y? you'r3 4ct1ng w31rdly." She asked.
"Well y9u weren't the on9 that was killed with an arr9w were y9u?" He said in a sarcastic joking manner that he didn't usually show.
"… wh4t? you m34n… you 4nd th3…"
"Sufferer…"
"you'r3 th3 s4m3 p3rson?"
He nodded. "I remem6ered my life 6ef9re the scratch… 6eforus… Thanks t9 P9rrim I lived t9 6e the sufferer… The signless…" He explained, holding up the little pendant. "At least 9ne 9f us is here as well." He pointed out.
"y34h…" Latula muttered, before turning. "1 gott4 go, 1 prom1s3d som3on3 1'd h3lp h1m out." She said. "b3 b4ck soon! hugs 4nd k1sses, 4ll th4t stuff!" She called out to him as she left the compartment.
The figure, Kankri Vantas, reborn as Harry Potter, gave a smile, happy to know his friends were alive, hopefully…
Hours later
Kankri stepped into the hall silently, fingering the pendant still, before placing it around his neck under the cloak hiding his appearance.
He looked up as white people, like greyish white and see through, floated through the hall, before the students entered…
"h3y k4nkz!" Latula said as she walked over to him.
"Hey Latula." He said with a smile.
"so wh4t's up?"
"My suffering and pain acr9ss the entire multiverse." He said without any humour. "And the sky."
"s3r1ously?"
"Yes, I d9n't j9ke a6out that kind 9f stuff." He said before looking around for any of the others, then noticing that Latula wasn't wearing her glasses. "Where are y9ur glasses?" He asked her.
"oh y34h! 1 forgot 4ctu4lly!" She said as she put them on. "1 don't r34lly n33d th3m, n3v3r h4v3 but th3y 4r3 so comfort4bl3." She explained.
"S9 what's the chances that the 9thers are wearing the stuff they used t9 wear?" He asked.
"3h, no clu3. but 1 th1nk m4yb3 y3s."
"Great, exactly what I didn't want t9 hear."
"sorry to d1s4ppo1nt."
Kankri gave a sigh, looking around. "D9 yo9 think they still hate me?" He asked Latula.
"w3ll 1t 4ll d3p3nds on 1f th3y r3m3mb3r b3forus 4nd 4lt3rn14." She pointed out.
"I guess…" He sighed again, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"w41t you'r3 not w34r1ng th3m up to your n1ppl3s?"
"9f c9urse n9t, it c9uld p9tentially trigger s9me9ne." He said with a smirk.
"… oh my god… s3riously k4nks?"
"Hey, I was an idi9t 6ack then, 6ut n9w I d9 actually care a69ut it." He explained.
"4s long 4s you don't f1ll 4 w4ll w1th thos3 stup1d tr1gg3r w4rn1ngs."
"What a69ut a page 9n a n9teb99k?"
"to much."
"Just checking." He gave a smirk.
"1 th1nk 1 pr3f3r th1s n3w k4nkr1 b3tt3r." Latula decided.
"Ah yes, t9rture d9es change a pers9n." He agreed… "What a69ut a p9st-it?"
"k4nkr1?"
"Yes?"
"shut up."
"As you wish."
"Potter, Harry!"
Kankri gave a sigh, shedding the cloak and sitting under the stool.
"Well, this quite an interesting mind, three separate lives… Where to put you… Where indeed…" A voice said in Kankri's head.
"Get 9ut." He demanded mentally.
"Now, now, I still need to sort you."
"GET 9UT!" He shouted out loud as he started to cry red tears, thousands of memories slamming into him, sending him off of the stool and onto the floor in pain.
"Mr Potter?!" An old woman asked worried.
"k4nk!" Latula shouted as she ran over to him, sitting next to him on the floor. "com3 on k4nkr1… you'r3 tr1gg3r1ng m3." She told him, trying to get something out of him. "pl34se k4nkl3z… g3t up." She said quietly, worried.
"N9… St9p… D9n't d9 this, please…" He moaned in pain, to the confusion of most of the school.
"k4nkr1 v4nt4s, 1f you don't g3t up r1ght now 1 sw34r 1 w1ll sl4p you!" Latula shouted at him, really worried.
Kankri's eyes opened slightly, wet with candy red tears. "L-Latula?"
"1t's m3 k4nkl3z, 1t's ok… just focus on m3, ok?" She told him, getting a small nod. "good, now just st4y c4lm, c4n you do th4t?" She asked him.
"I… I think s9…" He mumbled quietly.
"good…"
"Well that decides it." The voice said, coming from the hat. "Hufflepuff for both of them!"
Latula carefully helped Kankri up and lead him to the table, with Kankri too upset and traumatised to do anything other than whisper and cry. "com3 on k4nkl3z, th1s w4y…" She whispered to him, guiding him and helping him sit down as choked sobs burst out of his mouth.
"T-Thanks L-Latula…" He whispered as those candy red tears poured out of his eyes.
"1t's f1n3." She told him, giving him a smile, knowing he just needed to be comforted at the moment.
"vwhat's with the names?" A kid asked a little rudely but clearly trying to be polite.
"you wouldn't und3rst4nd, 1t's 4 p3rson4l th1ng." She said, not elaborating, before frowning and taking another look at the kid.
"C-Cr9nus?" Kankri whispered hopefully, lifting his head slightly in hope.
"vwell, I vwasn't expecting this, i must say." The boy said with a big grin, sticking a stick that seemed to be from a lollypop into his mouth and biting it.
