Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Riviera: The Promised Land. This was written for fun, and I am making no profit from this. Besides, if I did own either one, do you honestly think I would publish this online? (BTW, if I did own Riviera: The Promised Land, Ledah wouldn't have died. So there! blows raspberry LOL)
Harry walked onto the Hogwarts Express slowly. He was tired of masking his true feelings. He had hidden his true self from the Wizarding World ever since he had arrived two years ago. While he wished he could drop his façade, he knew he couldn't. Not now. His carefully thought out plans would be ruined if anyone had even the slightest idea that he was not, in fact a Gryffindor, but a Slytherin in the robes of a Gryffindor.
He sat down in one of the very back compartments, nearly empty except for a man that appeared to be sleeping. A quick glance at the luggage told Harry the man's name: Remus J. Lupin. He's obviously here for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. Harry took a look at Lupin's aura. It seems that this man is a werewolf. Interesting.
Harry sat down, took out a book on Advanced Potions from his trunk, and started to read.
Moments later, he sensed Ron and Hermione near the compartment he was in. Not wanting them to know of his intelligence, he put the Potions book away, and got one out on Quidditch. As soon as they grew closer to the compartment, he could hear them bickering about some trivial matter. When they walked in, Ron saw Harry sitting there, and said, "There you are, Harry. We've been looking all over for you! Now, Hermione…Who's that?" Almost simultaneously, Harry and Hermione said, "Remus J. Lupin, Ronald." Ron stared at them both for a second, then said, "Bloody hell! That was creepy! …How did you know that anyways?" They both pointed to Lupin's luggage. Ron stared at them both again. "Err, anyone up for Exploding Snap?"
The trio did play Exploding Snap (much to Harry's hidden annoyance), then talked of trivial matters that Harry's Gryffindor persona would usually discuss. Then, all of a sudden, the windows started to freeze. The atmosphere grew cold, colder than anything any of them had felt. Harry's very worst memory trickled to the front of his mind. "Dementors…" was all he was able to say before he was sucked into the memory.
Ein and Seth-Rah were fighting. Ein swung his Einherjar at Seth-Rah, but missed. Seth-Rah aimed a ball of energy at Ledah (Harry). Seth-Rah had frozen his shadow; he couldn't move! Ledah (Harry) closed his eyes and prepared to die. Seconds later, he heard a choking sound, and the sound of Seth-Rah laughing. Opening his eyes, he was horrified to see Ein on the ground, dead, from a wound through his heart. "Ein always was too selfless for his own good, wasn't he, Ledah?" Seth-Rah cackled. Ledah (Harry) was furious. "You will PAY! Lost Seraph!"
Harry heard Lupin cast a spell: "Expecto Patronum!" A silvery mist emerge from Lupin's wand, driving away the Dementor. Once it was gone, Lupin took out some chocolate, handing some to each of them while saying, "Here, eat it. This will help counteract the effects of the Dementors." The trio ate the chocolate, then Lupin told them, "I'm going to see the driver." He walked out of the compartment. Once she were sure he was gone, Hermione turned to him and asked, "Harry? Who's Ein?"
