Harry Potter stood in the woods near Privet Drive and prepared to perform the experimental spell that was supposed to give him the abilities he needed to defeat Voldemort. He concentrated, and cast his spell. From his wand there came a thing that was not a thing, it was light, but it was dark, it was indescribable, what it wasn't? Well, that was easy. What it was? That was the hard part. This beam of light dark or dark light spread and swallowed everything around him. Slowly he began to see shapes, a relatively young man in brown robes, a man dressed in a sort of black cape and bodysuit, and a young woman wearing silvery scale-like armor and a surcoat with a silver key design on a blue field. These four stood looking bewildered and Harry and the young woman leapt a foot in the air when a voice spoke from around them.
"Greetings, Jedi Master Skywalker, Blackcollar Comsquare Lathe, Abhorsen Sabriel, and Harry Potter. An evil has arisen which will need your not inconsiderable talents to defeat. You will each train young Harry Potter in your abilities. After he is trained he will defeat the man known as Lord Voldemort, but where he goes from there will be his decision. After this you will all have the ability to travel between universes, and all of you will have the abilities that the others have. You will not be trained, but you will have them. Now, whatever you need to train Harry Potter you will be able to obtain through your additional ability of conjuring things. You 3 will be given bodies as you have here, and you will obtain jobs at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Until the Hogwarts term begins you will live at a recently vacated house on Privet Dr.. It will be in your possession as soon as you appear. Farewell." With this long and drawn out speech the light that isn't light faded, and the 3 extra-universal visitors stood with Harry in the woods. He looked at them and asked the obvious question
"Who are you?"
"Didn't you hear that.....thing? I am the Abhorsen."
"The what?" asked the other 3 in their own unique ways.
"What????? Where the heck have you been?????"
"I think I know what's happening," said the man in black "My name is Damon Lathe, I am a Blackcollar, not that that probably means anything to you, but to put it simply I'm a chemically augmented soldier. And unless I'm mistaken then what's happening here is that we have been carried into another universe to train the kid right there. It fits in with a theory in my universe called the multiverse theory."
"That sounds likely, but I think it would be prudent of us to get to the house that was mentioned. Do any of you have any idea what house it is?"
"No," said Harry "No one is moving out that I know of. So you better try to hide at my aunt and uncles house." They all agreed, and they began to walk down Privet Dr., however, before they reached #4 they were stopped out front of #5.
"Hey! Mr. Lathe! Where've you been? We can't leave until we turn the house over to you!" the puzzled group walked up to the house and went in. In the kitchen the former owners of #5 signed the deed over to Luke Skye (Skywalker was a little too well known), Damon Lathe, and Abby Sabrel (still unusual, but not as weird as Sabriel and no last name or Abhorsen Sabriel).
"Now," said Harry when the former owners had left "Can you please explain what the hell you are?" the 3 looked at each other
"I'll go first," said Luke "I am Luke Skywalker, I am from the planet Tatooine in my own universe. Recently I have been living on Yavin 4, a moon of a gas giant and training Force sensitive people in the ways of the Force, which is, apparently, what I am supposed to do for you."
"So, the Star Wars movies are really true?" "What?" asked Luke
"Never mind," said Harry "I understand now. What're you?" he asked, looking at Sabriel
"I am the Abhorsen, from the Old Kingdom, it is bordered by another universe, which is made possible by a magical wall. My job is to banish Dead creatures, creatures and people who have come back from Death, back to Death, and to imprison or destroy beings of evil Free Magic. We use a mix of Charter Magic, Necromancery, and Free Magic to do this. These bells," she indicated a bandolier of bells strapped around her, "are what we use to enter death and to fight Dead creatures."
"Why would you want to do that to a person who came back?" asked Harry
"Because, after they die and are in Death then they are mutated by the eternal current of the icy river of Death. It makes them evil even if they weren't before."
"I guess it's my turn now," said Lathe "I am a Blackcollar Comsquare. I am the leader of a commando (a/n don't ask me it's what they called his unit in the Backlash Mission) of Blackcollars. We are chemically augmented soldiers, like I said before. We are highly trained and very good at what we do. We have super-fast reflexes because of a drug called Backlash. Unfortunately I am one of the last Blackcollars because we no longer have the formula or any of the drug. We do, however, have a drug we found at a place called Aegis Mountain on Earth in our universe, that can break loyalty conditioning."
"Huh?" asked Harry "What's loyalty conditioning?"
"Oh, it's this thing that the Ryqril, an alien race temporarily occupying human space and ruling humanity, do that makes even their enemies loyal to them. The people with this done to them are no better than slaves, they can't even think bad things at the Ryq's or get angry at them. Now, what are you?"
"Oh," said Harry "I'm just a normal everyday wizard."
"That just sounds inane." Said Lathe "Being a wizard is not ordinary and everyday. Elaborate."
"Well in this world there are some people with magic and some people without it. The people without it are called Muggles and the people with it are witches and wizards. There can be a person born to a magic family, and not be magic, they're called squibs, and you can be born to a muggle family and be a witch or wizard, they're called muggle-borns. My parents were a witch and wizard who were killed by Voldemort because they fought him. I was sent here to live with my aunt and uncle, who unfortunately hate magic and for the first 10 years of my life tried to beat it out of me. On my 11th birthday I got a letter from a school called Hogwarts telling me that I was a wizard and that I would be going to the school. My 5th year just ended" here he paused at that memory "and my 6th and 2nd to last year begins September 1st. Is that enough? I can't really think of anything else."
"For now it is." Said Luke
"You better go home now Harry," said Sabriel "You'll get in trouble if you don't."
"But, remember your training begins tomorrow." Said Lathe
"You should come here," said Luke, "If we come to get you your aunt and uncle will probably try and stop you. While I could make them forget, it would be imprudent to use my abilities too freely in a world where technically I don't exist. Goodnight Harry,"
(a/n hope you enjoyed it, it's just the 1st chapter. And if anything about Sabriel didn't make sense then read Sabriel, Lirael, or Abhorsen, by Garth Nix, and if anything about Lathe didn't make sense then read the Backlash Mission by Timothy Zahn or maybe the Blackcollar by Timothy Zahn
