Two Wizards, A Physicist, And A Parallel World

Hello, and welcome to my second-ever Harry Potter fanfic. Been a fan ever since the first film, The Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone was released in theaters since 2001, and throughout the years I got to know about the series via the succeeding films, unaware about the fact that the series originated from the books from England.

Having seen all the films that culminated in The Deathly Hallows part 2, I felt that this was the end till I happened to visit a relative who has all the books and I started reading them, where I discovered that some parts of the novels were not included in the films.

When I heard about a new Harry Potter project is being made, it made me curious about what it is until I found out that it was a theatre play that serves as a sequel to the Harry Potter series, which took place nearly a decade after Deathly Hallows. That play, which came in 2017, would turn out to be Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and it ultimately became a direct sequel, taking place 19 years after The Deathly Hallows film.

While it revived my interest in the series as it featured a new generation of Potter characters, which is somewhat similar to the manga series, Boruto, I was clueless as to what to expect and how to follow the flow of the story.

Thanks to Wikipedia, I was able to read the synopsis, yet I was unable to come up with an inspiration to make a fanfic version. After some time, It took a past anime series to give me an inspiration, in which it gave me some ideas in making a new story.

This fic is inspired from the 1999 anime series, Dual: Parallel Trouble Adventure, though I will keep this fic as a strictly Harry Potter story, retaining their magic, but the main characters will face problems later on in succeeding chapters.

Like my other Harry Potter fic, the characters of the Harry Potter universe depicted here is directly based from the film series, since that is how I got familiar with, thus Albus and Scorpius' appearances will be based directly from their first appearance from the epilogue scene of the film, Deathly Hallows part 2 (portrayed by Arthur Bowen and Bertie Gilbert respectively).

Rose Weasley, on the other hand, will be based on her film appearance (portrayed by Helena Barlow).

As to what role will this parallel world would portray, a little patience. You will soon find out once the next chapters come in to play.Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Norowareta Kodomo no Yoha

The Wizarding World. Year 2020.

A world where wizards and witches live, and some work. A world where magic exists, and that world is kept secret from the real world, which is known to the Wizarding World as the MUGGLE world.

The scene shifts at a castle where it is revealed to be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where several individuals appeared, in which they underwent a serious battle, but nevertheless everything seemed to be under control, where Minverva McGonnagal and Ginny Potter stood there awaiting, and the elderly witch gave a nod upon seeing who appeared in front of her.

The individuals who appeared via magic are:

- Harry Potter

- Hermione Granger-Weasley

- Draco Malfoy

- Albus Severus Potter

- Scorpius Malfoy

- Delphini

Ginny rushed and hugged her husband, Harry, then at her son, as she was worried about what the two went through, whilst Draco and Scorpius looked on as a dejected Delphini, who is bound in chains, loses the will and begged Harry to either kill her or use a memory charm to render her amnesiac, but Harry came to sympathize with her, seeing that all she ever wanted is for her blood father, Voldermort, to acknowledge her as his daughter.

He told Delphini that no matter what she does, Voldermort will never acknowledge her as he sees everyone as mere tool and pawn, and that the dark lord is incapable of love, and tells her to accept it and move on, while at the same time face the consequences of her actions.

"I am sorry, Delphini."

"..."

"No matter what you do or intend to do...Voldermort will never acknowledge you as his blood child."

"What...why...?"

"Voldermort is incapable of love. He never cares...he is even willing to kill even his own subordinates. I believe the reason why he allowed to conceive you is to do his bidding in the event he is defeated for good. You are no more than a mere tool to him."

"No...no..."

"I am sorry...but that is the truth. Also, you must face the consequences of your actions."

"..."

Delphini could only stare in dismay and defeat, and she did not offer a rebuttal as she is slowly taken away, but not before giving out a rather ominous warning, telling Harry and Albus that they will regret not killing her, and vowed that she will do anything to bring her blood father back and that he will recognize her as his child and apparent heir.

Harry, however, told her to accept the fact that Voldermort will not acknowledge her, reminding that the dark lord is incapable of love and affection, but Delphini would not back down and promised that she will escspe and get her revenge.

"It's pointless, Delphini."

"Wrong...I will prove you wrong!"

"..."

"I will escape...I will kill you and your off-springs...and go back in time and make HIM acknowledge me as his child!"

"Accept it, Delphini..."

"Never! I will do everything I can!"

"..."

"So swears Delphini...daughter of the dark lord!"

As Delphini is taken away, the rest left, and there Harry brought Albus to a cemetery where Cedric Diggory, Harry's classmate at Hogwarts during his school year over 20 years ago, is buried, and there Harry spoke to Cedric's grave and apologize for what happened.

Albus silently apologized for meddling the past, and the father and son continued to offer prayers before departing, in which they intend to repair their strained relationship brought about by Albus' difficult time at Hogwarts due to being sorted into Slytherin.

-x-

An undetermined amount of time has passed, and life at England, as well at the Wizarding World, were evidently peaceful, as the Potter family is enjoying a familial bonding as Harry and Albus have reconciled, while at the same time, Albus opened up to his dad about his struggles at Hogwarts due to being sorted into Slytherin.

Harry then gave him advice on how to handle the pressures and dealing with detractors without resorting to violence, as Harry himself experienced similar situations during his youth as a Hogwarts student.

A later scene (about several months later) shows that Albus is now preparing for his 5th year at Hogwarts, his relationship with his dad improved, added with the fact that Harry finally approved Scorpius as Albus' friend, especially after he and Draco came to an understanding, finally buried the hachet and started a mutual friendship, which Ginny and Hermione accepted, though Ron still remained reluctant.

The scene shifts at Diagon Alley where Albus and Scorpius are off to buy books for their upcoming school year, and along the way they meet up with Rose Weasley, where she is now quite friendly towards Draco's son. The trio are walking the streets when they passed by the Weasley shop where Ron and George are overseeing their business, and there Rose invited Albus and Scorpius to visit there, as she wants to greet her dad and uncle.

Albus and Scorpius accepted, as they want to see what the store is like before deciding to buy the books they intend to buy.

"Sure, I'll go. Want to see what the shop is like. Scorpius, want to tag along?"

"Yeah, it might piqued my interest."

"Good. We're coming, Rose."

"Hey, Al...think your uncles are going to give you discounts?"

"That depends. Want to buy something?"

"We'll see."

"Okay. Let's go."

"Right."

As Rose and Albus entered the shop, George smiled as he greeted his niece and nephew, and immediately offered them some complimentary items free of charge, which the two teens happily accepted and thanked their uncle.

Ron came and hugged his daughter, asking her and Albus if they went to Diagon Alley, in which the two teens said that they will head there after this, and Albus looked around, noticing that Scorpius is missing, and Rose tells her cousin that he'll show up, which Albus joked that Scorpius is probably buying roses for her, causing her to roll her eyes and jokingly said that she might be impressed if Scorpius really intend to do that.

George smirked and whispered to Ron, jokingly stated that Rose got a potential suitor, which Ron sighed and said that he is unsure about this, but is told to let go of the past, stating that Draco is a changed man, as well as he and Harry have already let go of the past and are now friends. George tells Ron to try and befriend Scorpius so as to see what kind of person he is before judging him.

"Are you serious, George?"

"Bloody right I am, Ron. We're not in Hogwarts anymore. Draco's grown up and he's no longer the guy we hate. He even played a role in saving Harry and son."

"Well..."

"Even though Albus is in Slytherin, he never get into trouble at Hogwarts...well save for using the Time Turner and all...but he still behaved himself, thanks to Draco's son. Also, try befriending the kid."

"Eh? You mean..."

"Right. Get to know Scorpius. Personally. If he is as arrogant as his grandpa and grandma Malfoy...or rather Draco's parents...then you can have an issue with Scorps. But I think the kid looks okay. Just give him a chance."

"Oh...fine."

"That's the Weasley way, Ron."

By then Scorpius came in running, panting, and had a worried look, which Albus asked what is wrong, and there Scorpius showed him the latest newspaper, showing that Delphini has escaped Azkaban, which caused Ron to get alarmed, as he is sure that Azkaban is escape-proof and that the guards there are not easy to corrupt.

He approached Scorpius and asked him if he is telling the truth, and if it is, how was he able to find out about it, which the blond-haired boy said that Draco sent it to him via owl, and this made Ron worried, as the first thing that comes to mind is what Harry told him about what Delphini said before being sent and imprisoned: revenge; revival of Voldermort.

Ron tells Albus, Rose and Scorpius to use the Flo powder and head for the Burrow, stating that it is a pre-emptive measure for safety, telling them that he will inform Harry and Draco about it. Ron gave the three teens some Flo powder and instructed them to head for a chimney so that they can initiate the transport to the Burrow.

As Ron left to contact Harry, Albus is ready to do as told, but Draco turn around and saw someone from a distance, sneakily heading to an alley. Draco seemingly recognized the fellow and is tempted to follow that person, prompting Albus to follow suit and asked his friend what is he going to do, and there Draco told him that the person he saw happened to be holding an item that resembled the Time Turner, and that the person he saw, though an elderly man, is still recognizable.

"Scorpius...where are you going?"

"Following that guy."

"Why?"

"I recognize that old man...and he's carrying an item...a very dangerous item."

"What item, Scorpius?"

"The Time Turner. The same item we tinkered before, Al."

"What?"

"I'll explain it on the way."

Scorpius told Albus that the person of interest is Mundungus Fletcher, whom he learned via the research he made when he did some research on Harry Potter during his time as a Hogwarts student. Albus wondered why Fletcher is carrying an item that resembled the Time Turner, and what would he do with it, which Scorpius said that he learned that Fletcher is a thief and has a penchant for selling stolen items of high value, so it is among the possibilities that Fletcher might intend to sell it.

However, Scorpius stopped as a shocked look on his face made Albus worried, and so is Rose, as she was following the two boys. Albus asked what is wrong, and there Scorpius said that, although a hunch, he has a feeling that Delphini might approach Fletcher, reasoning that she would do anything to avert Voldermort's death and sensed that she might do a different approach to prevent Voldermort's death, and the Time Turner may play a role.

Albus became worried at what Scorpius is implying, sensing that if Delphini intends to go back in time and try to change the past in a different way, it might affect the present, and tells Rose to inform her parents and Albus' dad about it, while he and Scorpius would follow Fletcher and see if he is really carrying a Time Turner.

Rose is worried, yet she nodded, and she went to Scorpius, which she makes him promise to protect Albus, which he nodded and assure that he will do everything to protect his best friend and not let any harm come to him no matter what.

Rose is still worried, and thinking that she is worried about him, Scorpius also said that he will make sure that everything will be okay as he will protect her and ensure that Delphini won't affect anything that would negate her existence, which Rose was quite surprised, which Albus jokingly stated that he is declaring his love for Rose.

Rose rolled her eyes and tells Draco if and should he manage to stop Delphini and return in one piece along with Albus, she will consider taking him to a date, which Scorpius enthusiastically accepted.

"Really, Rose?"

"Well..."

"..."

"If you and Albus managed to come back in one piece, I may consider taking you on a date..."

"Sure! It's a promise!"

"Maybe I exaggerated too much..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, just go and make sure you and my cousin are okay, get it?"

After that, the two Slytherin students left the area to secretly follow Fletcher, intending to find out if he really has the Time Turner, and if he does, the two boys will have to wrestle it away before Delphini shows up, assuming that Scorpius' hunch is correct.

Rose then head back to the shop where George saw her and asked what is she still doing here, and when told about what Albus and Scorpius are planning, her uncle became worried and he brought out his wand and uses a communication spell to contact Harry, and in the midst of their discussion, George and Rose learned from Harry that the Time Turner was stolen, along with Delphini's surprise escape from Azkaban.

Soon Harry became worried when told by Rose about what Albus and Scorpius are intending to do, and a minute later, Harry arrived via the Flo powder through a chimney, and approached his niece and asked if she is sure about Fletcher holding the Time Turner, which Rose said that she only heard it from Scorpius a few minutes ago.

This made Harry feel worried and concerned, since while Fletcher is seemingly not a problem, there are other factors to consider, such as Fletcher meeting up with other potential clients willing to buy the Time Turner, but also remaining Death Eaters wanting to take the device to try altering Voldermort's fate, and this includes Delphini.

He asked Rose where they went, and she tells him where she last saw Albus and Scorpius.

"Rose, do you know where Albus and Scorpius went?"

"They went far north, near an alley."

"And the person of interest...is he alone?"

"Sort of, Uncle Harry."

"I see."

"Uncle..."

"Don't worry. Everything will be okay."

"..."

Not wasting time, Harry uses magic to contact Draco, who arrived moments later, and the two former arch-rivals talked, where Draco agreed to assist Harry in tracking down their sons, and there Harry brought out the Marauder's Map and stated that this will help in finding their sons' locations, and the two adults are ready to move out.

Harry told Rose to stay here with George, and then told George to inform Ron and Hermione of the current situation, and George tells Harry and Draco to be careful, stating that Delphini is quite dangerous despite the fact that she operates solo.

"You be careful, Harry."

"I will."

"The dark lord's daughter is not an easy opponent, just like you told me."

"I know, George."

"And I mean it. According to what Hermione told me, Delphini is dangerous even when operating solo. She might get more dangerous if she were to find suitable allies..."

"I doubt she would. She prefer to go solo since that's what she did a year ago."

"Then make sure you come back safe, Harry. And Draco, you help too. Your son is..."

"I know. Albus would be devastated if my son gets hurt. Harry, we should go."

"Right, Draco. See you later, George."

Nodding, Harry and Draco leaves and intend to find their sons, hoping that trouble has not yet commenced, and even hoped that Fletcher is alone, as the last thing they ever want is to get into an encounter with Delphini, predicting that she has stolen a wand to arm herself.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is no action showed here, the plot details make up for it, as a new adventure awaits the new generation of Potters and Weasley coming your way, and this is sort of an inspiration from the Boruto anime…

Mundungus Fletcher, who is introduced in the film Dealthly Hallows part 1, appeared, and though had a short appearance with no lines, he still plays an important role, so more on him in the next chapter. Its quite a tad that after Deathly hallows part 1, he did not appear in part 2 and there is no word on what became of him, hence it gave me ideas on how to use him.

And despite his advanced age, I had him portray as the same guy as before.

Preview:

Albus and Scorpius trails Fletcher to find out why he has the time turner and who he intend to sell it to, while keeping an eye on Delphini, as they suspect that she may be after the device given her desire to save her blood father and make him acknowledge her.

Harry and Draco are also on the move, where they would soon encounter some OLD ACQUAINTANCES…

See you in March…
