First attempt at crossover fic. I thought i might try a new twist to an old favorite plot point. It should be obvious pretty quickly which one though read and reveiw.
He stole a glimpse towards the manor about 3km away but obscured by the forest surroundings. The thoughts of home became unbearable as he remembered how he ended up in this sorry state of torn, muddy clothes and bloodied face. He may have only been 6 but he knew that he was dead to his family all because of the say-so of the berk with the long-white beard.
The bearded-monster was the one who told his parents that he was a danger to his sister. It wasn't long before they allowed his tormenter to take his magic. (It was funny that the snake's offerings of sympathy afterwards proved that they couldn't remove their motive.)
His emotional state fluctuated through him. Each emotion holding a different color that sparked as an aura. Glowing the child held to a hope that his magic was not stolen but as soon gave that up after realising that this new power didn't feel like magic.
He began feeling anger and hatred at first wanting to hurt the weirdo with the beard and his family, a red aura making his appearance sinister. Orange light also joined the red shortly after the desire stirred to conquer everything, call the shots and stop those from hurting him. Finally fear crept in. What was he to do? He couldn't possibly survive long without help. He was going to die out here if he didn't go back and accept his fate.
All of those emotions were hushed by a voice old, wizened, sympathetic and strong.
"Petty things, why sink to their level their expectations of you? These emotions will rule you once they get a hold of you! It is true strength to raise above these… find the middle emotion …. Will Power!"
These words spoke volumes to the child and before his aura dissipated it turned a green color. He would not skulk back to his family to be tossed away like garbage later; he would rise to greatness without his magic. He would grow beyond their limits. The muddy child would not be afraid of fate or what he had or ever will be dealt.
At this point he witnessed a shooting star off in the distance. It dawned on him that it was fast approaching toward him, part of him wanted to run but another part that seemed so strong demanded he stay, told him the object approaching was not a threat.
It crashed several feet away. Leaving a basket-ball sized crater where it landed. It then levitated itself upwards. It revealed itself to be a green ring.
He didn't know how long he stared at the ring floating at shoulder level in front of him. He was a half blood, unlike a lot of the Wizarding World he knew what the ring could do, what it represented. He felt an ounce of pride and determination wash over him as he slowly reach for the ring. He placed it slowly on his right-middle finger. Feeling its energy wash over him.
With just a subconscious thought his injuries healed. His ripped clothes dissolved into a green, black and white uniform. The mud on him vanishing, bits previously covering his eyes giving way to a dark green domino mask.
For the first time that night a smirk crossed the boy's face as he realized the world was against him but with a whole universe this wasn't so bad anymore. Pointing his ring towards the ground he focused an invisible push to send him flying. When there's a whole universe out there, a new home was awaiting.
Seeing footage of the Apollo launches could not compare to really flying into space with just a ring miraculously protecting a human body. However the youngster's ring forced him to detour to the moon. Standing before him on the moons surface was a short blue man no bigger than the child. If the stories were true it was one of the guardians of the universe. Standing next to the guardian was a legend amongst men. The original Green Lantern the one from Coast City. Suspicion entered his mind as he suspected they had seen everything he had gone through tonight, but joy reached him that they choose him to join their corps.
Silence magnified by the vacuum of space seemed to calm the moment until the guardian broke it. "Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps, Harry Potter."
Tried to avoid saying who was the lucky wizard to go from wand-slinger to ring-slinger but hey who didn't see that one coming?
