Having arrived an hour early Harry began to look up and down the train until he found a brown hair girl with bushy hair and brown eyes looking around her excitedly. Harry notice her because the windows to the compartment she was in was vibrating slightly causing him to raise an eyebrow before he shook his head and knocked on the door to the compartment she was in.
The girl quickly turned toward Harry and Harry said "Hi, you mind if I join you."
The girl's eyes widen and she smiled at Harry and said in an excited voice "Of course you can. Please sit." as she motioned to the seat across from her.
Harry nods and sat down across from her and she said "My name is Hermione Granger." as she held out her hand.
Harry gently grab her hand before turning it and said as he bent down and kissed it "Pleasure to meet you Ms. Granger. My name is Harrison but everyone call's me Harry." as he leaned back.
Hermione blushed a little and said "I'm the first magical in my family. I'm so excited about coming to Hogwart's. I've read all the books for the year and..."
Harry who had pulled out his wand, cast a silencing spell before he lowered his wand.
Hermione stopped talking after she noticed she was not making any noise and Harry said "You need to calm down and take a few breaths. If you haven't notice you are so excited that the windows are vibrating off your accidental magic. If you calm down I'll release the silencing spell I placed on you but I am not sure what kind of protection this train has against accidental magic and I don't want the window's to explode and hurt someone who might be walking by."
Hermione went wide-eyed as she heard this and got a scared look on her face as she glanced at the windows before she took several calming breaths.
Harry saw she had calmed down and the windows were no longer vibrating and Harry waved his wand again and said "There, you can talk again and I am sorry for doing that to you. Forgive me."
Hermione bit her lip and said quietly "I'm sorry. I'm new to all this. I..."
Harry interrupted her and said "I understand. Magic is both a gift and a curse. It can cause truly great miracles and horrific terrible disasters. We each have a responsibility to use it wisely."
Hermione said "I'm still sorry though."
Harry said "There is nothing to say sorry for. You said it yourself, your new to this and didn't know but now you do and will be more careful."
Hermione nods her head and Harry looked out the window and said "You know, with all the excitement that is going to come when we get to Hogwart's to learn about magic you might want try and learn some basic Occlumency before we get to Hogwarts to help you control your accidental magic."
Hermione tilted her head to the side and asked "Occlumency, what's that."
Harry looked at her and said "It's a form of mind magic. Most wizarding children are taught at least a basic form of it in order to help them learn to control their magic, and emotions better and reduce their accidental magic. It also helps you with remembering things as well as protect your mind from someone using Legilimency which is another form of mind magic but let's someone read your mind if they can break through your Occlumency."
Hermione's eyes widen as she heard this and said "People can read other people's minds."
Harry said "Would you like a demonstration." as he looked back out the window.
Hermione bit her lip and said "You can read my mind."
Harry said "I'm not a master Legilimencer but I can do it a little but it need's me either to look into your eyes or to cast a certain spell on you to do so. I don't do it without a very good reason and usually I ask permission first. If you want I can give you a demonstration of both forms of Legilimency I know...Would you like me to."
Hermione looked down and after a moment said "I...I guess...What do I need to do."
Harry said "Legilimency through eye contact makes it where you can only read surface thoughts like what you are thinking now or in the last few minutes. As a demonstration of this I want you to think of something specific that I have no way of knowing. Hmm...do you like to swim or goto the beaches."
Hermione nods her head and Harry said "I want you to think about a bathing suit you have seen or own. I will read your thoughts and then tell you what that suit looked like. Ok."
Hermione nods and looked at Harry who looked at her eyes and Hermione felt that Harry was looking right through her a moment before his face turned bright red and said "You wore a grey and yellow one piece...you also are wearing yellow panties today."
Hermione's eyes widen and she said "I thought that you were only going to look at my memory of my bathing suit." as she blushed.
Harry said "I did but while I was reading your mind you thought that the bathing suit was the same color as the panties your wearing today which is how I know that...Did you get the feeling that I was looking through you."
Hermione bit her lips and nods and Harry said "That is the feeling someone usually get's when dealing with this type of Legilimency...but not always. Sometime's your own guilt or feelings make you believe the same thing. That's why it's a good idea to have basic Occlumency shields in place so that if someone is really using Legilimency to read your mind you would know for sure because you would be able to feel the intrusion in your mind...Do you still want me to use the other form of Legilimency."
Hermione asked "What does it do."
Harry said "I cast a spell while pointing my wand at you and I enter your mind and try to get through your Occlumency shields. If I do then I start to search your memories and every memory that I look at will also be seen by you so it feel's like your life is flashing before your eyes. The only way to defend against this type of Legilimency is to have really strong shields that keep them out or force them out through a battle of will power and magic. If you win the battle of will power and magic then you will push them out of your mind and enter thier's but if you lose then you will be unable to defend your memories from them...most people set up thier minds with different levels of defenses with thier most private memories being the most guarded while things like walking a dog or watching TV or something boring like that would be the least defended...but still under some defenses."
Hermione asked "Why would you place watching TV under some defenses."
Harry said "Because it's a battle of both will power and magic. The longer it takes someone to break in the more magic they have to use and the more tired their mind will be meaning it will be weaker to fight against your stronger defenses that guard your more important memories...Some people even set up fake memories to distract someone so they waste even more energy."
Hermione asked "How do you do that."
Harry said "Well...Each person is different. It's your mind which mean's it's your rules pretty much...but I personally like the Overlord method."
Hermione tilted her head to the side and said "The Overlord method...what's that."
Harry said "Well...when you were a child you had cases of accidental magic where something happened because you were upset. Right."
Hermione nods and Harry said "What you need to understand is that magic is alive. It needs a living thing to live. Plant's, animals, humans, non humans...each thing that has it's own magic has to be alive so the magic inside of those items tries to help protect and care for the item it lives in. That is why when you were upset as a child or wanted something badly as a child it would use it's power to help you...Are you with me so far."
Hermione said "A symbiotic relationship."
Harry smiled and said "Exactly. Many wizards and witches can't grasp that concept as well as those raised in the muggle world...anyways what this has to do with Occlumency is that your magic is like a small child. Just like it tries to protect you and care for you, you need to care and protect it. The first step in this is give your magic life."
Hermione looked confused and said "Give it life...isn't it already alive."
Harry took a deep breath and said "Sorry. I learned this three years ago and I'm not explaining it as good as the person who explained it to me since I haven't ever taught this before...Occlumency is mind magic. It's your mind so you make the rules...you can give your magic a life inside your mind where your magic can talk to you and you talk to it so you can understand how to use magic better and your magic can learn to help you do what you are trying to do."
Hermione said "So what your saying is that I have to give my magic a body."
Harry said "Not just a body. You need to think of your magic as a separate person. You need to give your magic a name so that you don't lose yourself to your magic. Magic is alive but the more you depend on it the more control it has over your life and the less control you have over your life. Many wizards and witches have lost themselves in what we call blood lust after loosing control of their magic. They would forget about their injuries or how tired they were or about others who were with them in what ever it is that caused them to use so much magic at one time that they felt unbeatable and usually either hurt themselves in ways that couldn't be healed or died...that is why you need to learn to separate yourself from your magic in your mind and know your own limits as well as your magic's limits."
Hermione said "I see..." as she bit her lip.
Harry smiled and said "Close your eyes Hermione."
Hermione blinked and looked at Harry and Harry said "You said you see but you don't see. I'm going to teach you how to meet your magic and give it life so that you can actually understand. Now close your eyes and listen to my voice and do what I tell you."
Hermione took a deep breath before closing her eyes and Harry said "Now I want you to imagine a white room with 4 walls and a white roof and a white floor. Don't try to add any details or anything. Just leave everything just basic walls floor and roof...Do you see it."
Hermione who had a look of concentration on her face said in an unsure voice "Yes."
Harry said "Now I want you to imagine on one wall a mirror. One of those mirrors where you can see your entire body from your head to your feet. Can you see the mirror."
Hermione eyes were scrunched together and she said "Yeah."
Harry said "Now I want you to look in the mirror and I want you to see a little girl standing in the mirror reflecting back at you...Make her younger then you...give her cloths and hair and eyes...think about what you looked like when you were younger. Like when you were 5 or 6...can you see a little girl in the mirror looking back at you."
Hermione who was concentrating hard nods her head and Harry said "What's the girls name Hermione."
Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Harry who smiled and said "You broke your concentration Hermione. You need to do it again."
Hermione frowned but closed her eyes and Harry saw she wasn't concentrating as hard now and Harry said "Can you see the little girl again."
Hermione said "Yes."
Harry said "What's her name."
Hermione said "Abby."
Harry smiled and said "I want you to imagine little Abby walking out of the mirror like the mirror is water and have her stand in front of you."
Hermione began to concentrate harder and Harry saw Hermione get a look of shock on her face and she gasped lightly and said "Say hello to Abby Hermione."
Hermione opened her eyes a few moments later and she said "Thats...I...I felt her. I bent down to touch her shoulder and I could actually feel her."
Harry said "Abby's alive now Hermione. She lives inside you and is now inside your mind. You have just taken your first step into a large new world."
Hermione had a look of surprise and joy on her face and Harry said "The Overlord is like a king. He is the ruler of the kingdom he lives. The Overlord has an advisor and assistant who helps the king by taking care of the day to day things while the Overlord can work on increasing his kingdom and making it safer and stronger...You are the Overlord, Abby is your assistant. You create your kingdom and show Abby each new part you create. This will give her a purpose so she won't be bored...create others to help her. If you build a castle and put walls around it to protect what's inside then you need to put guards on the walls and at the gate. For each new thing you create, create someone to take care of that and introduce them to Abby so she can understand them and help them do better then they normally could."
Harry saw Hermione was listening to every word an Harry said "But you need to make sure that you don't over work her Hermione. The more things she does the less she will be able to complete. If you have to, make different levels of helpers. Think of military. You have the grunts, then the officers, then the generals. Abby should only have to meet with the generals while the generals will meet with the officers while the officers will meet with the grunts. The more protection there is between someone entering your mind and Abby the better. Abby should be inside the castle and should be the last defense."
Hermione asked "What happens to Abby if someone enters my mind and gets to her."
Harry said "It depends on if you have only one Abby."
Hermione looked confused an Harry crossed his arms and said "If Abby is destroyed then all the magic and knowledge that was a part of her will be lost. As you are now if someone were to enter your mind now and kill Abby then there is a chance you could lose most of your magic."
Hermione gasped and Harry said "But there is a way to make sure that doesn't happen."
Hermione asked "How."
Harry said "Well there are actually two ways. The first is to imagine a giant crystal where Abby can place some of her knowledge and power. These crystals are called tower hearts. They are usually the most secured item because they have the magic and knowledge that was stored in them the last time Abby touched them. You can make 5 of these tower hearts and separate them in different places to protect them. Each will have 20 percent of Abby total power. Have Abby visit each at least once a day and put some of her power and memories in it so that if you are attacked and she dies you only will lose just a little magic she had after her last save and you can get that back and you can create a new Abby and have her touch one of the tower hearts and get her memories from the last back up."
Hermione looked in thought and Harry said "Abby is a child right now and does not really know anything but just basics. You need to teach her. The first way to teach her is to allow her access to some of your memories. Just like the crystal you are going to make for Abby power, you can also make a crystal for each of your memories and have them hidden somewhere in your mind. Have them where anyone who touches them can see the memory. If you do this then Abby can learn from you by seeing those memories and will be able to understand you better. Once she's seen the memories she can return them to the crystal since it will be like someone watching a tv show and still have the memory of the show even though it's not there anymore."
Hermione nods her head and said "I get that."
Harry said "Those memories are what someone entering your mind will most likely be after. Make the memory crystals like jewelry that you keep safe and hidden. The more secret or special the memory the more defended you want them to be. If you have to then distract someone by making a treasure room with worthless memories like watching TV or walking a dog or something like that, A person will waste time and energy going after what they believe is your most protected memories while the real treasure is hidden somewhere else. Someplace where only you and Abby can get. Understand."
Hermione nods and Harry said "Now this will help you teach Abby and protect your memories but there is more you can do. Every new spell you learn you need to go in your mind and teach Abby and show her what it does. Have her teach the generals who teach the officers who teach the grunts. Also you need to teach her to excercise...but you also need to excercise in the real world. By having a healthier body you and teaching Abby about having a healthier body you can increase the strength and amount of magic in your body...this is also the secret to learning wandless magic."
Hermione eyes widen and said "Wandless magic...how does this teach you to do wandless magic."
Harry smiled and said "If you and your magic both know how to do a spell and work together you can learn that you don't need the wand movements or words to actually cast the spell. The words and wand movements are actually just tools that help others explain and teach how to use their magic since most wizards and witches are actually very lazy. They don't like to take the time to train and work hard to get results when they can take shortcuts that get similar results but they never reach the full potential of the spells. You remember the silencing spell I placed on you earlier."
Hermione nods and Harry said "I used my wand because I don't like to advertise that I can do that same spell wandless and wordless. I learned to do that so if someone captures me and silence me I can break the spell on myself and either call for help or use the words to spells I haven't gotten wordless yet that are wandless. The better you understand your body and magic and the spell you are trying to cast the easier and stronger the spell will be...do you know the real reason why we learn to use wands while other magical creatures can do magic without them."
Hermione shook her head no and Harry said "The ministry wants us to use wands because they can control us better by taking our wands when we don't do what they say making us unable to properly defend ourselves. They say wandless and wordless magic are really advance and difficult as to make people give up trying to learn them until they get so set in their ways they don't want to waste the time and energy to learn them. They say it's difficult and only help you learn around 5 wordless spells by the time you are in your NEWT level years...I have over 20 wandless spell and 30 wordless spells. I am trying to teach myself those 10 that I haven't got wandless yet while working on another 20 that I can do with both the words and wand but not without them."
Hermione said "You know 50 spells already."
Harry said "Yes but their not all that special. Some are just a fresh breath spell, or a simple cleaning spell and things like that...not all of them but most of them are just related to day to day life or hygiene."
Hermione said "That's amazing...but how can you do them. I mean you are underage and can't do magic outside of going to Hogwarts."
Harry said "As much as you want to believe that the magical world can track every spell cast they can't. If they could then the war they had would have been over years earlier since they could have arrived at the first spell being used...the truth is they have a magical detection grid over the country that detects magic being used in each grid. If there is a magical family living in that grid with an adult wizard or witch then odds are the ministry will believe the adult is casting the spell unless they have specific reason to know there is no adult wizard there at the time or other magical creature that is exempt. If the ministry suspects a magical child living with an adult is using magic they can cast a spell on the childs wand to see what the last couple of spells cast out of it are and if the spell matches what was detected they might get in trouble."
Hermione said "But that means that muggleborn children are being discriminated against because we don't have magical parents."
Harry said "Yes but remember the windows Hermione. If you cast a spell and accidentally hurt yourself or others then you or the person who was hurt could die. The ministry thinks that if there is a magical adult in the home then in the event that someone gets hurt the adult can either heal the injury or have the awareness to contact the proper people to get the person whose hurt the care they need while a child will most likely freak out making the situation a lot worse then it already is. How would a child explain they turned themselves into a pig to muggles."
Hermione frowned and said "I...I understand...I don't like it but...I understand."
Harry said "I know...someday the world will learn about us and there won't be a statue of secrecy and the rules will change. Perhaps even in our lifetime." as he looked out the window.
Hermione said "So you live in a magical home."
Harry smiled and said "No. My aunt is muggle as is her family. I didn't even know about magic until my 11th birthday. My aunt hate's the magical world because it caused her and my mother to drift apart after they had a fight and then my parents were killed and my aunt and mother never got a chance to say sorry to each other for the fight...the fact that the magical's who rescued me after my parents were killed abandon me on my aunt's doorstep at night with a note telling them my parents were dead and they had to take me or the people who killed my parents will come after them made her and her family hate magic even more...it wasn't until the day after my eleventh birthday that my aunt realised that I was going to be going into the same world she lost her sister to that she had made me want to leave her behind because of her treatment of me that she changed...we...we had a long talk and we went to read my mothers WILL that was frozen and my aunt found out my mom forgave her and asked her to forgive her...that helped changed my aunt to the better...but it was when she found out I was dying that..."
Hermione screamed "DYING." with a look of horror on her face.
Harry smiled and said "When my parents were killed some of the magic that killed my parents had entered my body and was poisoning me...The Goblins and members of the International Magical Police or IMP's were there that day since they were investigating the break in and attempted theft of a very valuable magical object along with the creator of the object that was nearly stolen...They thought I might have seen someone that day at the bank and questioned me. The creator of the object offered to help me with some eye problems I have as payment for the help. I'm wearing contacts right now but when he ran the scan on my eyes he detected the poison in my body and told my aunt and me. He knew a way to treat the poison but the treatment was a purifying ritual that can only happens once every 10 years when the stars align correctly."
Harry took a deep breath and said "The stars were aligned correctly on the summer solstice of this year and would not be aligned again for another 10 years by which time I would have died."
Hermione covered her mouth as tears were falling on her face and Harry handed her a handkerchief and said "Don't cry Hermione. Your about to learn that there was a way to save me and we did do it so the poison is gone. Just let me explain how so then the only tears you cry will be tears of happiness. A beautiful young lady should only cry tears of joy and happiness."
Hermione shoulders slumped slightly while her cheeks blushed a little as she dabbed her eyes.
Harry said "I also needed to be at least 14 years old to do the ritual. There is a magical item known as a time tuner that allows a person to go back in time but it does not put you in your same body. There would actually be two of you at the same point in time but the rules of time travel say you can not be seen by your younger self. The IMP's and my aunt both agreed to let Nick, the creator of the item that was nearly stolen, his wife Penny, and me all 3 went back in time with a time tuner to August 1st of 1988 and we went to Nick and Penny's homeland that they hadn't been to in years. They began to teach me about magic and other things as first their apprentice but later they blood adopted me since they are really old and all their family died out years ago...They don't want to replace my parents memory so they became my new grandparents. We spent two years in their homeland and then a year in France where we did the ritual that removed the poison. I returned to my aunts on August 2nd of this year and thanks to a special magical ability I have I can change my looks to make it appear that I was still 11 and I slowly started to change myself by adding an inch in height a week and slowly change my appearance to what I really look like."
Hermione looked at Harry and said "Is this what you really look like or are you still hiding your real looks."
Harry said "I was asked by the IMP's to keep the info about me helping in the investigation a secret for now. If I show my real look after someone from school saw me on July 31st they would become curious about how I changed so much so shortly and possibly accidentally tip off the person the IMP's are currently investigating. They asked me to keep it quite until the first of the year so I'll just keep changing myself slowly every week until the new year by which time I should be my real self...If you don't mind, can you keep it quite."
Hermione nods and Harry said "Now remember I told you that you need to be training in the real world to help Abby. You should also learn to defend yourself without magic in order to teach Abby who can teach the others. If you want I can teach you a thing or two."
Hermione said "I would like that...but why are you telling me all this. Why tell me your secrets...you don't know me...you never met me."
Harry looked at Hermione and said "You have met the goblins, right."
Hermione said "Yes, when my family went to diagon Ally to get my school supplies we had to change our money into wizard money...why."
Harry said "Human's don't always have children with other humans. One of our teachers at Hogwarts is a half human, half goblin. The man who took me to diagon ally was a half human, half giant...several generations back one of my ancestors was a non human...she was an angel."
Hermione eyes widen and said "Angel...as in God and his angels."
Harry said "Something like that...I don't really understand it myself...what I do know is that there are 13 realms...depending on the season on the calender we are either the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th realm. Spring is 8th realm, summer is 7th, fall is 6th, and winter is 5th. Those are based on where we are in the universe at those time...She was from the 11th realm."
Hermione said "Realms are other worlds."
Harry said "Not exactly...you see, if you are putting something on a 3D map you have to know 7 points to accurately put it on the map. You need to know two points to know where it is on the up and down. You have to know two points to know where it is on the left and right and you have to know two points to know the front and back. Where each of those points meet tells you almost where the item is...but you need the 7th point to define where it exactly is. The 7th point is the place you start from. I could start of placing Hogwarts location from King Cross station...but if I used the same numbers for the 6 points but started at the Leaky Cauldron would I still be at Hogwarts."
Hermione thought a moment and said "No. It would be off by the distance from the Leaky Cauldron and King Cross."
Harry said "Exactly. Now my ancestor...her 7th point was different then we know about. When you are talking about realms you are actually talking about the location of the 7th point...Take me for example. I was born July 31, 1980 and according to that point I should be 11 years old right now but I am actually 14. Because I used a means of travel that changed my starting point from being 11 in 1991, to 11 in 1988, I am now 14 years old. My ancestor came to the time she met her husband from a different starting point then the one she should have. She could have been a time traveler or a world traveler or a dimensional traveler...I couldn't honestly tell you because I don't know...All I know is that she was from what was called the 11th realm and that she was an angel."
Hermione bit her lip and Harry said "Now to answer your question, because of her being one of my ancestors a little of her magic flows through me and because of this my magic, Gibbs, is able to tell things about people and he told me that if I am honest with you, help you, and trust you that you will be honest with me and trust me and that we could become great friends at least. I've learned to trust him...but you know what the funny thing is."
Hermione asked "What."
Harry said "Grandpa Nick has these movies that are entire seasons of a TV show on them. His future self sends them back in time with a time tuner. He says it's because he hates wasting time on commercials. Remember what I said about witches and wizards being lazy."
Hermione giggled at that and Harry said "One of those shows is a show called NCIS. It's a criminal investigation show built around the navy police. The main star is named Gibbs where I got the name for my magic...the main lab tech who is this really cool brainy chick whose into these wierd but cool things. Her name is Abby."
Hermione's eyes widen and said "But...I just thought of that name randomly."
Harry said "Perhaps...Perhaps somewhere in the future where ever that show came from the people who wrote it heard the name from us in the future and then I heard it from them to give them it in the future. A real time paradox if you actually think about it...but it's possible that when I entered your mind earlier that Gibbs met your magic and left the suggestion of Abby name for your magic since right now you are looking up to me because of my knowledge and skills of things like Abby did Gibbs in the show. Maybe Gibbs showed Abby some of his knowledge of the show and Abby chose the name herself and gave the name to you...in the end it doesn't really matter but it's one hell of a brain teaser if you ever want to get frustrated and confused."
Hermione who seemed to think a moment sighed and said "Tell me about it...so what now."
Harry said "Well...I told you there was two ways to protect Abby. One is the crystal idea but the other is a more extreme way."
Hermione asked "What do you mean extreme."
Harry said "If you trusted someone and I mean truly trusted someone or had some place that you knew was safe and protected you could also send your magic into another person mind or into an object and create a tower heart inside the person's mind or inside the object. The heads of the ancient houses actually do this in order to help the next head of house. They place a tower heart in the head of house ring so that when the next head of house takes the ring they can see the memories of the previous head of house at their last update as well as a little of their magic. The problem is that who ever you placed the tower heart in could just as easily look at your memories or take your magic in the tower heart for themselves. The same for if they took the object that you placed the tower heart in. The head of house rings are charmed so that only the head of house can wear them and there is only one head of house at a time."
Hermione said "I see...I don't think I could do that."
Harry said "Until you learned more about Occlumency I wouldn't even attempt it."
Harry bit his lip and said "I don't know if I should do this but...I think that I should try and help you get your mindscape built as quickly as possible...I do trust you but there are things that I promised that I would only teach my family so I can't give you a tower heart...but If you would let me I can create a copy of Gibbs who can teach both you and Abby at the same time how to build up your mindscape...I can do that while we are here on the train but I would have to take him back before we got to Hogwarts since there is a chance we won't be in the same house and I can't let the chance someone else can get into your mind and get him...do you want to meet Gibbs."
Hermione looked at Harry and said "Are you sure Harry."
Harry looked at her and said "Friends help and protect each other...I want to be friends with you, even if we are in separate houses...I want to know that if I'm not there to help and protect you that at least you can protect yourself...will you let me help you."
Hermione said "I...yes."
Harry nods and pulled out his wand and pointed it at Hermione and said "Legilimency."
Hermione found herself standing in front of Abby and saw Harry standing there and Harry was concentrating and a mirror appeared with a silver-haired Harry in the mirror who stepped out of the mirror. Harry walked to the figure and Hermione saw a ring glowing on Harry's hand that he touched the silver-haired figure with and the silver haired figure green eyes glowed and blinked a moment before he turned and said "Hello Hermione, Abby. I'm Gibbs."
Harry disappeared and Gibbs said "Harry's gone to relax and watch over us while we stay here in your mind to work on your defenses. The first thing we should do is..." as he began to explain what to do.
