Here is the third book in my 5 book Avatar:The Tale of Harry series. Initially this was supposed to be the last book but in the end I had good enough ideas for two more books so Book 3 will serve as a way of closing off the enemies of the first two books in preparation for the advancement of new enemies going forward. The core of the book is based around the plot line of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child though without any time travel, however unlike the other books in this series, Book 3 will have multiple plot lines that play into the overall plot and will not feature a major battle or war as the other books have. While there will be politics in this book, one of the plot lines follows the United Republic Presidential Election, they will not feature as much as the theme of this book is in the subtitle. As with the last two books, the entirety of Book 3 has been drafted at the time of publication and will be a total of 34 chapters including the prologue (Book 5 will have one as well) and the epilogue. A little under half of Book 4 has been drafted and that book will be as long if not longer than Book 1. Also, to those interested, I have begun uploading the first spin-off story in this series that details Regulus' defection and redemption during the First Purity War and the first half has been uploaded under the title 'The Path to Redemption.' Unlike the other books in this series, Book 3 will be rated T as while there is language, a few scenes of violence and implied sexual situations, I do not believe it rises to the level of an M rating like the other books. Enough rambling, without further adieu, here is the third Book in the Avatar: The Tale of Harry series.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from either the Harry Potter or the Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The legend of Korra universes.

Avatar: The Tale of Harry

Book 3: Unity

Prologue

The middle-aged Kyoshi Warrior and Warden of the Avatar Harry Supermax Prison, Ty La, walked down the corridor that was buried half a mile beneath the heart of the inhospitable Si Wong Desert. Her wife, a burly earthbender and fellow warrior called Caxton whom she had met during her first prison assignment almost 28 years ago but had only married 15 years back walked behind her.

Caxton was one of the few earthbenders in the Kyoshi Warriors, having joined the order from the mainland and not Kyoshi Island, and was only present to do the necessary earthbending needed to get down to the sole prisoner they were charged with guarding. The use of earthbending had been one of the many precautions that the Avatar had taken to ensure that the prisoner remained locked up for the rest of her life.

The woman housed in the only cell in the prison, that was at the end of the corridor, was serving a life sentence she had been handed 22 years ago after having a death sentence commuted to life without the possibility of parole. That meant that the woman would die in the cell she was in and while Ty La hated the prisoner, she would make sure that she lived as long as possible so she could pay part of the massive debt that she owed society for her heinous crimes.

The prisoner in question held the dubious honor of having the second most felony convictions, a little over 100 million, in history behind only the first prisoner Ty La had been charged with guarding by the Avatar himself. That particular prisoner, the spymaster to the infamous Lord Voldemort, had been freed on a lifetime parole in exchange for aiding in the apprehension of her current charge.

Ty La was holding a tray with a bowl of rice, a role of stale bread and a bottle of water that constituted the standard meal for the inmate here. It was dinner time and Ty La liked to show her fellow guards that she was willing to do the same jobs as they were so she took shifts guarding the prisoner or the other underground corridor, working in the hot sun on perimeter patrol, cooking, or in this case bringing food to the prisoner and conversing with her for a few moments.

It was the way of the Kyoshi Warriors and it helped unify the girls in their goals and moral because they were all willing to do the same jobs no matter how bad they were. It also helped make Ty La a better leader as her subordinates knew that she could pull her own weight and was willing to do the same jobs as they had to do. You couldn't expect someone to follow your orders if you weren't willing to do the thing yourself after all.

As Ty La reached the door her wife subtly earthbent the small tray flap down into the earth so that Ty La could pass the tray through to the inmate. It was time for Ty La's least favorite job, talking to their prisoner, who among her many crimes, had killed her sister warriors in the process of seizing power that the prisoner had never deserved in the first place.

"Ah I see my dinner and daily conversation has arrived, on time I presume but with no sun it is hard for me to tell the time these days." Came a hoarse feminine voice from inside the cell as Ty La passed the tray through the slot to see it dragged away by the prisoner. "So who's my daily prevention of madness conversationalist today? What's the conversation, what abuse do you brainwashed slaves to tyrants have for me today as you talk with me to prevent the isolation driving me insane?"

"We never abuse you and we both know that you know that, even if your twisted mind believes that critic is abuse." Ty La sighed as she sat down on the floor and spoke through the flap. "But as you said, we have to do this to prevent you from going mad, not that any would call you mentally stable before your arrest."

Ty La hated this part of the job given the monster that was housed here but the International Association on Human Psychology had determined that solitary confinement for criminals, while necessary for violent and high profile inmates, could lead to complete insanity and suicide if not given some form of human interaction. As such, all prisoners that had been ordered held in solitary confinement, of which this was one of the few such cases, had to be spoken to by the guards for at least 10 minutes a day to stave off madness, not that it was always successful. The problem for Ty La was that the monster she guarded was responsible for her first boss's brutal death, as well killing her first commanding officer, and though she had never admitted it to anyone, her first crush as well.

"Ah my illustrious Warden, the head of my jailers, has graced me with a visit." The prisoner laughed, her voice tinged with insanity that Ty La knew had been present long before her arrest. "Given the fact that I haven't seen the sun in spirits know how long I can't count the days or years I've been down here so I don't know the last time you spoke to me."

"It's been 10 days since I was last on this shift." Ty La said with a resigned sigh, this conversation was going to go the same way it always did. "10 glorious days of not dealing with you and your insanity."

"Perhaps I am not stable but neither is anyone else." The Prisoner said from her cell in a reasoned tone that belied her warped mind. "Especially girls who I fought to free from slavery and restore their rights but who chose to fight and die for the tyrant they served and later to guard me during my false imprisonment. I still think that Druzok should have killed me when Bagnold sentenced me to death but he was a fucking coward. However, it is good you are here, I have been waiting for you to come as I need to speak to you seeing as you are in charge here."

"Bit rich of you to call someone a coward." Ty La scoffed back. "Over a thousand people died because you wouldn't fight the Avatar, an inferior bender to you according to you, when you had the chance. Instead you chose to remain in the Palace and let your citizens die needlessly for you given how your victory only spared you for 8 days. And we both know why you were spared the death sentence, the Firelord and Avatar did not want to make you a martyr for your cause. However, if you are just going to insult us and our honor with your delusional lies then I will leave and it will be another 10 days before I return here."

"Wait!" The prisoner said and for the first time in 22 years Ty La heard a note of pleading and desperation in her charge's voice rather than the usual defiance and arrogance. "Please, don't leave just yet. I have a few questions and a request to make of you Ty La. As to your accusation of cowardice, well I had my reasons for refusing the Avatar's challenge but it all came down to the fact that that I knew I would lose to his cheating ways and my enlightened rule would end and he would restore the tyranny and oppression to my beloved nation that I had fought so hard to end. Alas, as you pointed out, I only delayed the inevitable for 8 days and as a result he illegally violated me by stripping me of Raava's gift of firebending."

"We both know that that's a load of bullshit." Ty La said, her anger rising as it always did whenever she had to talk to their prisoner. "But very well. Seeing as I have to talk to a murderous cunt like yourself, what do you want to ask?"

"To you it may be bullshit but to me I know it as truth for I and I alone speak the truth." The inmate arrogantly before softening her tone slightly. "But seeing as I am locked in this cell the truth lost so I must settle for what I can do. My first question is how long have I been in this shithole that the Avatar threw into after that illegitimate court convicted me of all those false charges that were levied against me?"

"22 years." Ty La said ignoring the shit that was spewed around the question. "A little over 23 if you include the 13 months you were locked up before your trial, not that someone with a sentence who's years, if calculated, stretch into millennia cares about time served. I think a few Harmonic Convergences will pass before all your years in prison expire, excluding the life without parole part."

"Fuck me that's a while." The prisoner said with what sounded to Ty La like genuine shock. "More than half my life wasted in this small cell. What a shame given the fact that I am one of the few Enlightened people in the world. I guess now is as good a time as any then seeing as I have nothing left to loose, after 22 years I am not going to be rescued, nor will the Avatar see the error of his ways and release me and heed my council to the letter as he should have all those years ago. Therefore I would like you to do something for me Ty La."

"What?" Ty La asked coolly. She didn't really want to help this monster any more than she absolutely had too but duty and honor bound her to at least here her prisoner out.

"Contact the Avatar and tell him I want a meeting with him." The prisoner said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"The Avatar is a busy man." Ty La replied unable to control her shock at the brazen request her prisoner had made. "And he doesn't want to deal with a cunt like you ever again. I know that when he left you here to rot that he never wanted to see you again."

"True but I would like to speak with him." The prisoner replied calmly. "Given who I am, I have a feeling that the Avatar will make time in his busy schedule to come out here and see me in my cell, it's not like I am going anywhere anytime soon."

"Why?" Ty La asked. She had to admit, she was curious to see what her prisoner wanted with the Avatar.

"Tell him that I want to make a deal." The prisoner said and Ty La couldn't prevent her jaw dropping in shock. This had been the last thing she had been expecting from the prisoner and her shock only grew as the prisoner elaborated more on her request.

"Tell him that if the price is right, and we can negotiate the price, I am willing to give up my fellow conspirators." The prisoner said and through her shock, Ty La could here the resignation in her prisoner's voice as she spoke. "Tell him that if he shows up and we make a deal then I will give him everything. Pyrites level information or there abouts, that ought to get his intolerant, racist, fascist ass down here. After 23 years in prison, all of it in solitary confinement, I have realized that I may have made a few small mistakes and I want to make a few amends, in exchange for a decent deal of course."

"Out of my honor and oath to the Avatar I shall pass on your request to him." Ty La said controlling her shock as best she could but the seasoned warrior knew that some of it had crept into her voice. "But I will also advise him against it given your history. You had better be willing to give up everything."

"For the right price I will." The prisoner said. "And only the right price but the Avatar has to come here personally before I say anything more."

"Very well." Ty La said rising and dusting herself off. "I shall pass on your request Hermione but don't expect him for a while, he is a busy man."

"Well given the fact that he has been hunting the few remaining Enlightened for over 2 decades, you would have told me if they had been caught so don't deny it, he may find my information useful." Hermione laughed as Ty La heard her begin to eat. "Now run along little warrior and tyrant lover and fetch me the Avatar."

"Fuck you cunt." Ty La murmured as she left walking back to the earth elevator exit.

"Honey don't let her get to you." Caxton called from behind her as they walked, honor and professionalism forbade them to have physical contact while on duty so this was the best her wife could do. "She's just being a bitch."

"I know but I can't ignore her request given what she knows." Ty La said as they got onto the platform and Caxton began to raise it with her earthbending. "We have been waiting 23 years for that monster to break and finally she has, or at least she had cracked and at this point I will take anything if it gives us a chance to take the other Enlightened down."

"So what's the plan?" Caxton asked. "It's not like we have a phone here and the radio only reaches as far as King Zhan's palace in Ba Sing Se."

"No but we are going to contact the garrison in Ba Sing Se and request the airship." Ty La said firmly. "And two girls to replace us here temporarily while we are gone. The Deputy Warden will be in command while I am away and we have two other earthbenders so you will be joining me."

"We are going to Ba Sing Se?" Her wife asked.

"No dear we are not." Ty La said as they walked along the first underground corridor of the prison towards the earth platform that would take them to the surface. "We are going to Republic City. I know it is the middle of the Presidential election there and given that Shacklebolt is finally retiring the election is open for the first time since Fudge was elected over 30 years ago. No honey, we are going to bring this news straight to who it has to go to and given its sensitive nature we are delivering it personally. We are going to pay an unannounced visit to the Avatar. We are going to see Avatar Harry."

This is the first prologue I have done in this series so hopefully it has gone well. I chose to use a prologue to show the action that set the ball rolling and put the motions into action that will lead to the events of Book 3 and the alliances and theme of the whole book. Also this was too short to be its own chapter. Hermione will have a story arc in this Book which will also serve to set up a few spin-offs that will involve her, should I ever right them, as well as showing a glimpse at her past and how she became the fanatic that ruled the Fire Nation with an iron fist in Book 2. Also, Caxton's name comes from a list of Hufflepuff students on the Harry Potter wiki (Hufflepuff is the house associated with earth in Harry Potter) and it is those house lists on the wiki that I will be using going forward, especially in Book 4, when I need new minor and at times mid level characters. As always, the next chapter will be released in one week and as always please review this work so I know what is and isn't working and I will answer any questions y'all pose in reviews or PMs at the start of the next chapter. Until next week.
