The Wizard and the Furyan

Harry was seated at the bar, down on his luck. He had wasted every last bit of welcome in the wizarding world. He had one too many benders and had gone completely bonkers according to Ron's standards. Ginny had left Harry long ago and for none other than Draco Malfoy and he had left his wife too. They were playing house together at Malfoy Manor and Malfoy was now raising his kids and and now Ginny now had two kids by her second husband. He was the joke of the wizarding world and no longer a hero.

Even in the muggle world he was considered strange, a raving mad man uttering names like Voldemort, Dumbledore and Snape and other strange gibberish and he was that person that mothers would tear their hair out if he approached their child within 5 metres. Even if he mentioned Ginny's name everyone at the bar would take it as a joke too, that he missed his gin and tonics and would laugh at him.

It was one stormy night in Oban, waves were crashing in at the dock and spilling onto the causeways and creating a frightful atmosphere. Just as luck would have it, he miscalculated again and would have to spend the night outside not being able to afford a bed. The local constabulary would even avoid him and the hospital would not accept him in the waiting room as he had warn out their charity too many times. He found himself on the steps of St Columba's church to settle in for a rough night in the cold. He heard the howling of the wind but heard something strange come down in the far distance. He got up from the steps and walked across the road and saw something strange land on the Island of Kerrera.

He rushed around the bay and took off with a small boat and decided to investigate the landing. He braved the rough sea and in what takes a few minutes ordinarily by calm seas took forever according to Harry. He then got out and surveyed the area and he saw a strange glimmer a few metres away and boom he was thrown to the ground and suddenly a hand held him down. He had not time to reach for his wand ordinarily because he had traded it for a butter beer.

"Don't move, just talk" The man said

"Ok" Harry, not willing to risk it, replied.

"What is this planet?"

"What?"

"What is this planet?"

"Earth"

"Earth?"

"Yes Earth, you know Milky way galaxy, sun, moon, stars"

"Shut up"

"Ok"

"So you're not a merc?"

"No"

"Good, I am going to release you"

"What are you?"

"I am a man"

"Yeah but you're not, a man does not own something like that here, it is a space craft, you'd better hide that thing before morning otherwise you'll have the corps that are stationed over that hill calling for troops"

"I don't intend to stay long"

"Why did you land here?"

"Enough with the questions"

"How long do you intend to stay for"

"Enough for my ship to recharge and refuel and get on the way"

"How long?"

"According to your time, I need 100hrs."

"It's daylight in 5 hours, you're going to be seen in a major way, where I came from is a whole town across those waters. If you landed heavily people are going to know."

"You're going to help me"

"What?"

"You're going to help me because I will end you, right here"

"Ok, ok. Before I do, what is your name?"

"They call me Riddick"

"I am Harry, Harry Potter"

"Ok then Harry"

The odd couple headed on the boat Harry stole back to the mainland, Harry needed to hide that thing. Luckily for Riddick, he had just the perfect help at hand and for Riddick's sake he needed to get him going. Harry took a while to get to his senses again and had to make amends to a local witch, Jenna McGonagall whose chimney stack had a direct link to Diagon Alley, a place he swore he'd never go back to. Jenna McGonagall was a second cousin to Minerva McGonagall, she was a younger version of Minerva and would have looked like at age 35. Harry had to steal some confidence and trudge up that Hill with Riddick and face her. With a trepidation Harry knocked and he heard a muttering

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Harry Potter"

"Go away, I told you not to bother me again"

Harry heard a chuckle in the street, it was Riddick

"You have a lovely way, with the ladies, let me handle this, excuse me lovely lady, I need your help"

"Are you with that horrid man, Harry Potter?"

"Yes"

"Then go away, I am calling the police"

"Ok, Ok, I know it is strange but I really need your help, Harry knew this was the right place, he told me how lovely you were and how he was an asshole and he is a complete jerk face"

"Yeah he is a jerk face, spineless bastard"

"Hear that Harry, you're a spineless bastard! Ha, now apologise to the lady and let us go where you need to go"

Harry went to the door again.

"I'm sorry Jenna"

"For what Harry, you spineless bastard" chortled Riddick

"I'm sorry for being a spineless bastard"

"Ok, Harry, just this once I'll help you out, then you're on your own."

Jenna opened her door and let Harry in and a strange man in all black clothing and strange glasses on his bald head. She did not ask further questions, the least she knew about the whole thing the better and she was tired and wanting to go back to bed.

"You know what to do, the powder is in the fridge next to the cat food, please use discretion this time, I don't want a howler or a visit from the ministry this time, I am off to bed"

"Ok, Jenna, thanks so much"

"See you Jerk face" Jenna smiled.

Harry looked at Riddick and he was touching things, he had never seen a home like this before, he saw a little ball of fluff sitting by the fire"

"Riddick, no. Don't touch anything. Leave the ball of fluff, it is an animal called a cat, it will scratch you. I'll be a minute"

Sure enough the cat woke up and saw a strange man and hissed and meowed and ran up the stairs

Harry heard it all and got the powder from the fridge. He took a swig of milk and a chocolate biscuit from the fridge and closed it. He headed out from the kitchen and saw Riddick standing there, trying to brush the fur off his pants.

"You touched the cat, didn't you"

"What can I say, I love animals"

"Ok, stand back, when I throw the powder into the fire that is burning, I want you to run into it. When you do get on the other side stop and wait for me"

"You want me to kill myself?"

"No, just trust me, I am the only person who will help you get off this planet"

"Ok"

Harry took a spoonful of powder and threw it in the fire and Riddick ran into it and sure enough he had gone to the other side quite successfully and now for his turn, he was rusty and so he grabbed a little more and sure enough he found himself back into Diagon Alley with Riddick.
