Chapter 2: Revelations
With a burst of light Harry, Ashley and Fawkes landed on a patch of soft green grass which was surrounded by tall sycamore trees with luscious green leaves. Small critters danced around playfully while searching for food. They could hear the birds singing a sweet tune that they had not heard in years.
"Here is where I leave you, young ones, follow the path and you will find Evan Knight good luck and maybe someday we may meet again" Fawkes said as he bowed his head
"Fawkes, thank you for everything" Ashley whispered
"It's my pleasure young one" Fawkes said and with a burst of light, Fawkes was gone
"Guess we should get going" Harry said nodding toward the golden path in front of them
"Guess so" Ashley responded as they started to walk
((o))
Ashley was getting restless and impatient as they walked for nearly two hours and not getting anywhere.
"We've been walking for what felt like forever when are we going to get there" Ashley said as they skidded to a halt
Harry shushed her and pointed toward a lake. There in front of them was a boy standing near the edge of the lake. It seemed like he was waiting for something or someone.
"Think that's Evan" Harry whispered as the started of toward the stranger
"I think so we haven't seen any other humans" Ashley reasoned as the stopped in front of the stranger
"Glad you could make it" The stranger said as he turned around and Harry and Ashley had their first look of the stranger. The stranger had chocolate brown hair, which looked almost like Harry's messy hair only neater, with warm ocean blue eyes.
'This guy has to be Evan Knight' Harry thought
"Who are you?" Ashley asked
"Evan Knight, Keeper of Dimensions," Evan said smiling
"Uh…aren't you a bit young? You only look seventeen" Harry asked
"Well you two are only seventeen and you two defeated Voldemort what's your point?" Evan asked as he raised an eyebrow
"He got a point" Ashley said smiling
"Whatever…look if you don't mind we would like to get answers" Harry said sitting down, on the soft grass, Ashley following his lead sat down too.
"What do you two want to know?"
"Why are we here? Where are we? What is the Keeper of Dimensions?" They both asked
Evan took a moment before answering the questions "The fates gave you a second chance at life…you're in a place called the 'middle' where I watch what goes on in different dimensions... The Keeper of Dimensions is me my job is to watch every dimension and technically make sure the dimensions don't 'join together' and become one last time that happened I heard it was chaotic….Evan trailed off
"First of all, I find this all too hard to believe and second, why was it so chaotic when the dimension 'joined together'?" Ashley said curiously
"Well, what would you do when you see about five other Voldemorts more evil and more powerful from different dimensions join together….chaotic" Evan said like it was obvious
"Oh that is chaotic" Harry said shuddering at the thought of so many Voldemorts
"So now that you know what's going you have to stay here until the world that I have chosen for you is developed" Evan finished
"There's a but" Ashley said narrowing her eyes
Evan and Harry look at her like she was insane.
"A butt?" Evan asked looking at her warily
"Not that kind but there's a flaw this is too good to be true so there has to be a flaw" Ashley said
"Oh…yeah there is a but and the but is that'll you'll be 11 years-old again and you'll have to find a way to defeat Voldemort while keeping a low profile because Neville is the Boy-who-lived...and not everyone is who they seem" Evan said looking at the twins to see how they react
They both looked at each other before sighing "We'll take the offer and what are the pros?" Harry asked before adding "They are pros to this…right?"
Evan chuckled and said "Of course….The pros…Everyone you loved are alive, including your parents, you have a second chance at a childhood….um you have siblings and a very large family….trust me I saw them" Evan said looking at them
"How long before we can go this world," Harry asked, trying to hide his eagerness.
"Five millennia give or take two hundred years." Evan replied dismissively
Harry's jaw dropped like a stone. "Five thousand years?"
"Give or take two hundred years," Evan repeated. "You did not expect this world to develop in a day or two, did you?"
"Actually, I did," Ashley replied honestly which gave Evan a laugh. "I thought you were going to teach us how to control our powers and then send us new world."
"Actually that's what I'm going to do but first I have to teach you the spell to bring you to the new world" Evan said amused
"How long will that take?" Ashley asked
"Eighteen hundred years. Oh, and by years, I mean universal years which are equivalent to ten and a half Earth years. That's a ridiculous amount of time, isn't it?" Evan laughed as Harry nodded. "Well, get off the ground. It's time for training." Harry and Ashley complied and followed the Keeper of Dimension through the forest.
((o))
Surprisingly enough, five thousand universal years passed by fairly quickly. There was never a dull moment in Twin's life as they traveled the universe meeting other races, most of which looked down upon humankind, while absorbing the material Evan gave them. The emotions of his life were erased completely allowing Harry and Ashley to review their life as an unbiased historian. Both of them were able to see things they never saw before, like Dumbledore's manipulative self and Snape's kindness. Ron was a bloody git while his view on Hermione remained unchanged. It was Hermione that kept Ron's hidden personality in check.
It saddened the Twins that while they had all this knowledge, they would not be able to access it until their fifteenth birthday. It was determined that the Twin's brain would mature enough to allow this vast knowledge to manifest itself in their mind. Evan stated that normally they would wait until they were seventeen, but by then this knowledge would be far too useless. The plus side was since they had majority of their knowledge sealed, both of them could retain all the knowledge of magic as it was more of a feeling than a memory. Spells, potions, runes and what not, Harry and Ashley could remember them all even if they did not have the power to use it.
When all was said and done, the time for the Twins to return to Earth arrived. Evan knew this day would come and was proud to have taught both of them for so long. The seventeen year old boy and the twins found their way back to the Moon where they watched the Earth rotate. "I guess this is goodbye," Harry and Ashley said weakly.
"No. I will always be watching over you two. Just start talking to yourself and I'll find a way to answer," Evan replied.
"People will think we're mad," Ashley joked as they all laughed.
"Remember, Ashley and Harry, the people of your memories are not the same people as the people you will meet. Some of them will remain the same, but others will change drastically. And do try to keep a low profile," Evan told the twins his last piece of advice.
"We will try, but you know us. We can't seem to stay away from trouble. Or rather trouble can't seem to stay away from us," Harry said with a grin before Ashley stepped forward and gave Evan a kiss on the cheek and hugged him. Harry smirked as he saw Evan blush.
Then Ashley stepped back and held her wand up high as did Harry, as they both began to chant "Portimi ad un mondo il non miei propri... mondo che di A posso denominare il miei propri... in qualche luogo posso iniziare una nuova vita..." The last thing the both of them saw was a smiling Evan waving at them before the darkness over took both of them.
When Ashley and Harry woke up, he found himself lying on the lawn of a house. From what Evan had told the twins, they would arrive back on Earth just after his eleventh birthday. Harry and Ashley stood up and found themselves much shorter than they was use to. Memories of who he was and emotions of this world flooded his body and mind.
His parents were alive and well. Harry had five younger siblings, a nine year-old sister, seven year old twin sisters, a five year old brother and a two and a half baby sister. Harry and Ashley, in this universe, was already a bit of a prankster and had not a single trace of magic within them, but he remembered Evan's warning. Keep a low profile. The twins would definitely try, but they would still have their fun and play pranks. Ones that no one could trace back to them.
They thought all this as Ashley started toward the manor, that was obviously potter manor, Harry right behind her. For in that moment only, Ashley and Harry Potter truly felt alive again.
