Meeting
Part One
Harry yawned and stretched out as he woke up from his slumber. Oddly, he felt really refreshed. And his body was so relaxed despite sleeping on the hard floor below him. He blinked in confusion. Squinting he looked again and did indeed find he was laying on the floor. "What the heck? Did I fall out of bed?"
A soft giggled prompted him to turn around. He squinted again at the blurry purple figure coming towards him. Suddenly his vision cleared up as his glasses appeared on his face. He blinked and noticed the purple blur was actually a purple unicorn. He squinted again, only in confusion this time. "Tw-Twilight?"
"You got it," she said.
"Wow," Harry said, his eyes scanning her body. "I knew you said you were a pony but I guess a part of me didn't really accept it."
"I can understand," Twilight Sparkle said. "I can't imagine you as you've described yourself either." Her eyes looked him over with curiosity. "Though I do love your current look."
"Huh?" Harry looked down at his body, noticing he, too, was now a pony. He stood up on his hooves and checked his new tan coated body out. "Wow." He flicked his chocolate tail and ears and clopped his hooves on the floor. "This is just crazy. A bit over whelming, too."
"Just relax," Twilight said. "You can take as much time as you need to get use to this. I'm sure it's a lot to take in."
"Okay." Harry nodded, plopping down on his hindquarters. "So I guess the spell worked."
"Obviously," Twilight Sparkle said. She walked away from him and opened a cabinet. "Just relax there. I'll make us some tea and we can talk."
"Tea sounds good," Harry said. He looked around for Hedwig; finding the owl missing.
"If you're looking for Hedwig she's outside with Spike," Twilight Sparkle said.
"Oh," Harry said. "I didn't know she was here."
"Yeah. She came, too." She paused and looked up at the ceiling. "Though I'm not exactly sure why. The spell was only supposed to bring you here. But I guess it doesn't matter. Nothing bad appears to have happened."
"That's good," Harry said, still looking around the library. It was so neat and clean and smelled more like books than a tree considering they were inside of one. It was hard for him to believe a pony could keep a building this clean. "Your, um, home looks really lovely."
"Thank you." Twilight Sparkle, with her horn glowing, lifted up the teapot and teacups along with another small bowl with a lid on it. She walked over to Harry and placed the items down on the floor. "Would you like sugar?"
"Uh, sure," Harry said.
"One or two cubes?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"One," Harry replied. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Twilight Sparkle said placing one cube in his tea.
Harry looked at the cup and then at his hooves.
"Why not try using your horn?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"My horn?" Harry looked up her. When she pointed to his forehead, he lifted his hoof up and found a horn protruding through his head. "What the bloody ale?! Why do I have a horn?!"
"I assume it's because you have magic in your world," Twilight Sparkle said. "You don't appear to have a cutie mark though."
"A cute mark?" Harry blinked. "Oh! That mark on your flank?"
"That's correct." She nodded.
"I almost forgot about that," Harry said. "Do you think I'll get one since I'm not a part of this world?"
"I'm not sure," Twilight Sparkle said. "It might be possible. No one from another world has come here before. Since you have a horn I'm assuming it's possible that you'll get a cute mark and have a special talent coming with it. For now you should be able to do just basic magic like lifting a cup." She lighted her cup with her magic to show him. "Now you try."
"Well, okay," Harry said. Looking back down at his cup he concentrated. Shockingly he felt his magic flowing into his horn. Then his cup lit up in a light orange color and lifted off the ground. He brought it up to his lips. Carefully, he tilted it to his muzzle. Trying to steady it he only bumped it into his large nose, splashing the contents on the floor. Startled he lost control of his magic and the cup clanked on the floor below, spilling out the tea. "I'm so sorry!"
"No worried," Twilight Sparkle said. Placing down her cup she pulled out a towel from a nearby cabinet and dried up the floor before pouring him another glass. "You'll get the hang of it in no time. All you need is practice. And don't worry about any mess. I make plenty of them on my own and with Spike and my friends around."
"Thank you." Harry lowered his mouth down to the cup and took a drink of the tea. "Will I be able to meet your friends? They sound really interesting."
"Of course you will," Twilight Sparkle said. "We can go see them any time you want. Though remember what I said about Pinkie Pie."
"I do," Harry said. "I'm prepared for her party."
"Believe me," Twilight Sparkle said. "There's no way to prepare for your first party with Pinkie."
"Is she really that bad?" Harry asked.
"She sure is," Twilight Sparkle said with a giggle. "But once you get passed that first party you'll be fine."
"I can't wait." Harry smiled.
"So how long would you like to stay here?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"I…I'm not really sure," Harry said. "I'm a bit surprised at how fast you brought me here."
"Should I have waited and wrote you again?" Twilight Sparkle asked, worried. She grabbed her head with her hooves. "Oh gosh! I didn't even think of that! I was so worried about you! You said you were tired and I just zapped you here! I'm so, so very sorry!"
"No, it's fine," Harry said, shaking his head. "I really didn't feel like participating in the tournament anymore. So I might stay until that's over at least. Since Dumbledore and the others don't know about this place I know they won't come looking for me."
"I'm so glad," Twilight Sparkle said with a sigh. She lowered her hooves to the floor. "I was worried there for a moment that I did something wrong."
"You didn't," Harry said. "I'm glad to be here. Everything you said about this place in your letters has me really curious. And I need a break from all the magic back at school and from my friends anyway."
"You having trouble with your friends still?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Yes." Harry nodded. "Ron is still jealous. I have no idea why. It's not like I asked to be put into the tournament. I still have no idea who put my name in that. It's starting to really bug me, too."
"I'm sure you'll learn one day," Twilight said. "For now, just relax and enjoy your vacation."
"I think I will," Harry said. "And despite being a bit tired of magic, I'm still a bit interested in learning about my horn here." He glanced up at his horn, engulfing it in his orange glow. "I wonder why my glow is orange?"
"I don't think the glow matters," Twilight Sparkle said. "Besides, I think it suits you."
"Oh, um, thank you." Harry looked back at Twilight Sparkle. He felt his heart racing in his chest but didn't understand why. She was pretty. But he technically wasn't a pony so he shouldn't be attracted to her. Maybe he just thought she was cute. Just a bit because he's thought other animals were cute. Yeah, that's all this is.
"Something wrong?" she asked.
Harry shook his head, heat rushed to his cheeks. "No. Nothing's wrong." He took another drink of his tea. "The tea's really good."
"It's herbal," Twilight Sparkle said. "I read a lot and really enjoy having tea to drink. It's one of my favorites. How about you?"
"I like tea enough to drink it," Harry said. "But I don't think I've ever considered it a favorite. I like it better than coffee though. Coffee's too bitter for me, even with milk or cream."
"I'm not a fan of coffee either," Twilight Sparkle said. "Though I really do love this apple smoothie my friend Applejack makes. You must try it while you're here. I think you'll love it."
"Sure. Sounds great," Harry said. "I'd like to get immersed in your culture while I can. And I'd love to see her farm sometime."
"Oh, I guarantee you will," Twilight Sparkle said. "We can go take a tour of it when we go out to meet my friends later. I'm not sure where they all are at the moment. They're probably scattered around right now taking care of business."
"That's all right," Harry said. "I'm sure I'll meet them soon enough."
"You sure will," Twilight Sparkle said. "I'm suppose to meet up with them today for lunch. We're having a picnic. Rainbow Dash is going to keep the sky clear for us."
"A picnic sounds nice," Harry said. "I can't remember the last time I went on one. Well…actually I don't think I've ever been on one."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Well, you're going on one today as my special guest," Twilight Sparkle said.
"Thanks a lot, Twilight Sparkle," Harry said.
"You've welcome," Twilight Sparkle said. "And feel free to just call me Twilight."
Just so ya know, I'm not one for cussing. That's why "hell" was replaced with "ale". It'll probably be the only time I use it. This one would have been longer but I can't decide how to have him meet the others.
Guest: Um…oops? Lol Sorry about that. I'll fix it if my eyes and brain will let me find the mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
Vashthesnake: I'm not sure it'll be good. I'm just bored and playing around. But glad you like it and think it's good so far. They'll talk about their first letter at some point. As for the title, I have no idea what to label this as when I posted it. I think I have a better one that suits the story more. It should rhyme, but I'm terrible at rhyming.
AshesGleamandGlow: Glad you like. I'll update when I can. Like I said, I'm a bit down right now and writings a bit of a pain to do. It flows when it wants to flow.
Sakura Lisel: Well, they're only two types of stallions. Castrated and uncastrated. So he's uncastrated. Lol. Or are you meaning his breed? If you mean that, I'm not sure. They don't really specify breeds in the show. Though it's obvious that Big Mac is a Clydesdale or inspired by the breed at least.
Omniverse's infinity stones: Thanks.
