Can he also deal with the powers he'd somehow developed during the tavel to the past? Honks.
Chapter 3: But OUCH The Summer Nights
Harry couldn't believe what had happened. He was completely ashamed. He held his hands to his head and moaned. He lay back down on the bed with Jaysin watching over him. Oh sure, it had started out a normal day...well a normal day in the life of the BWL...
Flash Back...
Unfortuantly, Harry just learned the number one rule of partying with people you don't know. Never leave your drink unattended. To bad he learned it to late, as his world faded into fuzzyness...
End Flashback.
It was the worst experiance of his life. Even compaired to Dudley's past time of Harry Hunting. He woken up that night next to the blond he'd danced with. In totally unfamiliar surroundings. In bed naked, with a sleeping naked woman. Harry had been so horrified that he hastily put on his cloths and wished as hard as he could to be back at the Leaky Cauldron. Luckily it had been closed when he'd apperated in. Something you weren't supposed to be able to do. Not that Harry had cared. He spotted Jaysin talking to Tom behind the bar and ran straight into the man as hard as he could. He completely broke down, cluching Jaysin's robes sobbing.
Jaysin had immediatly taken him to the Department of Mysteries hospital wing. Harry had been layed down on the bed and put through a dozen tests. It was came to the conclusion that he'd been drugged. It was a muggle drug that was undetectable and completely wiped your mind of the last 7 hours. You have no control whatso ever over your actions. Jaysin somehow persuaded Harry to use a pensive to figure out what had happened. Basically, after drowning the Coke, Harry had jumped back on the dance floor, grinded heavily with 6 different girls, picked 4 fights, and ended up in bed with a very horny blond. Harry shuddered, he drew his legs up to his chest and began to sob again. To his surprise, Jaysin had wrapped his arms around him and rocked him to sleep.
Waking up in a hospital bed the next morning, and after getting cleared by the healers, Harry decided he needed some serious help. He was back 2 weeks barely in this time and he was already screwing up his life. He wouldn't forget that this was a chance for him to turn his life around. He also realized that he desperatly wanted to tell someone. Tell that person everything. About him surviving the Killing Curse, his parents dieing, the Dursleys, Voldermort, even Sirius. Now this. And the first person who came to mind was...
Jaysin. No, he couldn't. Jaysin had said himself that telling him anything that is going to happen will change the future. It was to much of a risk...but then again...Jaysin does know the consequences of acting on information from the future. But if Harry told him and he didn't do anything, then it wouldn't really matter. Would it?
"Awake?" Harry turned to face Jaysin, but quickly averted his eyes and stared at the floor. Jaysin sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling this morning? Up to a little walk?"
Harry shrugged and made and humming noise, standing up, still stareing at the floor. Harry felt a finger underneath his chin. It forced his head to lift up and look Jaysin in the eyes. "It wasn't your fault you know." The man said softly.
"I know.." Harry whispered "But, I still..." Jaysin nodded and took his hand away, motioning for Harry to follow him. "Come on Tanner, you know, it really is a miracle that your megamorphus powers didn't let go. Look on the bright side." Harry considered this and shrugged. Not much of a bright side, but one never the less. He'd take what he could get. He followed Jaysin out of the hospital wing and down a dimly lit hallway.
"We got your letter. That's why I was waiting for you at the Leaky Cauldron." Jaysin said glancing at Harry to see his reaction. He saw Harry's interest peak as the ebony haired boy looked up at him curiously. Jaysin couldn't help but smile. This kid reminded almost too much of himself as his age. It was kinda freaking him out, but in a good way. Ha, like that made any sence.
He lead Harry into his office and sat him down in a chair. "Tanner, I need to ask you a few questions." Harry nodded and motioned Jaysin to continue. "What were you feeling when that wind came up? What were you thinking about?" He saw Harry gulp and fidget. Jaysin knew from that look that Harry didn't want to talk about it, and Jaysin was prepaired to drop the subject. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..." He began but Harry waved him off.
Harry took a deep breath. "No...I...I know I need to get this off my chest. Would you...I mean, can you...er, well if I were to tell you something, I mean about the future that has to do with me...and... er, you didn't do anything to change the future, would it matter...if...if I told you about...what happened to me?"
Jaysin seemed to think for a moment. Then he nodded. "I can tell this is serious, I'm going to make an allowance this time. Maybe it will help me to find a way to help you." Harry nodded and started to tell Jaysin his story. He started off rockily but his voice got steadier. He told Jaysin about his parents, the killing curse, and Voldermort. About the border line abuse he had taken from his relatives. When he got into his Hogwarts years though, his voice started to shake. By the time he got to Sirius's death, he had broken down again.
"I...I..I'm soo...rr...hiccup...y." Harry stuggled to get ahold of himself. "I guess, it's just...that night I was thinking about Sirius, and ...and how it was my fault he was dead. This morning I was thinking that...well, I'm in a whole new time, it's like a second chance. But I'm already starting to screw it up." He looked up at Jaysin, who had kneeled down beside him and had wrapped his arms around him. A fierce determination flared in Harry's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't want to screw up this too, please!?" He was almost begging the unspeakable now. Jaysin looked down at the boy, and his own black eyes glinted.
"Yes Tanner, or should I say Harry. I think I can help you. But we need to talk." He motioned for Harry to take a seat on the other side of his desk in a very comfortable chair. He took out a piece of parchment and a pen.
"Let's see we've already enrolled you in Hogwarts...yes..." He seemed to think for a moment and looked up at the red eyed boy before him. "Now, from what I've heard from you, it sounds like your not going to get around this prophesy. I've seen a copy of it in our halls. So it is completely real and there's no getting out. So, our only option, is to train you."
Harry looked up in surprise but Jaysin shook his head. "You defeated Voldermort 8 years ago in this time. But Death Eaters are very active still. Attacks are stratigic and brutal. They don't dally with muggles anymore. They take out the important wizarding figures and old families. You would need training either way. Remember that wind you told us about?" Harry nodded.
"Well, we believe that you Mr. Potter, are what we call a Natural wizard. And an extreamly powerful one at that."
"What's a Natural Wizard?"
"Ah, now here's where things get interesting. Consider what you know about Albus Dumbledor and Tom Riddle, hmm?"
"What do they have to do with...ohh! They're Naturals aren't they?"
Jaysin's onyx eyes sparkled with amusment. "Right in one. But I myself believe that you are a True Natural. Neither Tom Riddle nor Albus Dumbledor are related to the one we knew as Merlin. You however...I hope you don't mind but we took some of your blood last night and preformed a spell to tell us your heirarchy. " Jaysin's look tranformed into a sheepish one when Harry sent a half hearted glare at him. "And...?" Harry questioned, rolling his eyes.
Jaysin blinked. "And what? OH! Right. Well you happen to be a direct decendant of Merlin on your mothers side. As a decendent of Merlin, that makes you a true Natural."
Harry's mouth dropped. "Bu...how?" His entire body had gone numb.
"Well it's extreamly long and complicated but you are. I'll let you have a look at the family tree we created when we're done here if you want. Now basically you have a lot less limits on your power then any other wizard."
"So...I could do anything I want?"
"Within certain limitations. You can potentially draw the elements, do wandless and non spoken magic very easily. We should probably introduce you to runes and animagus's...your likely a multi-animagus by the way...and a lot more. Your also very quick with physical stuff. I could show you a move with a sword and you could copy it 10 times stronger and faster most likely. And I'm no weakling."
This time Harry looked sheepish. "By the way what time is it? Cause I signed up for Martial Arts at this gym...twice a day." Jaysin just looked amused and said. "Well unfortunatly for you you'll have to wait for the second lesson. Although I am impressed. That was a very smart move. And it'll save the rest of us some work. Now with the training. You'd better let Tom know you can't help out so much anymore. I and the counsil have come to a conclusion. Harry, we want to know if you'll join the unspeakables."
Harry's eyes got really, really wide. "Seriously?!" Jaysin nodded. "YES YES WOOHOOOO! Wait, what kind of stuff do the Unspeakables actually do?" Jaysin grinned at Harry's acceptance. "I take that as a yes. I can't tell you what we do exactly, because we do a lot of different things. But think about the Americans FBI or CIA. It's like the Wizarding Secret Services."
"That is sooooo cool."
"Harry," Jaysin got serious. "You do realize that things can't be changed to be different from in your time. You can in no way interrfer with the future as I cannot as well. You have the choice to be able to reveil yourself after the timeline catches up with you. But your stuck with this new identity, probably for forever. It's your choice to stay as you were or become a new person."
"I don't know." Harry said truthfully. "I'm going to miss Ron and Hermione, but they are only 8 years old right now. And I don't think they will take me being 8 years older then them well. Besides, we weren't getting along very well...kind of...growing apart if you know what I mean? It'd be nice to be a different person, but not really. I can be the person I always really was, and wanted to be. Can I... you know...date? Make friends? Get married? Have kids? I don't want to be Harry Potter. I want to be Tanner Dimari. I'll beat Voldermort when the time comes, and I'll train as an unspeakable, and help people protect themselves from Death Eaters. But I won't be famous like I was. And if I do, then so be it. But this time it will be on my own terms. And I'll have earned it?"
Jaysin's eyes twinkled again. "Now you've got it. Doesn't mean you have to forget who you are. But you are free to be you and have a normal life like everyone else. Though I doubt you'll get that lucky. And yes, you can get married, date, have kids, and make new friends. Don't lie to them. Tell them your parents died because of death eaters and other half truths. Your not lieing, just not telling all."
"Thanks Jaysin."
"Don't mention it." His eyes twinkled again.
"That is seriously freaky. Stop it. It's so Dumbledore, and really freaky." Jaysin just laughed.

So did you like it this time? Things are going to start speeding up a bit now. And be patient my lovely's. Just at bit longer. I assure you the wait will be worth it. If I don't have Harry sort out his issues the whole point is useless. So there.
About Harry's past and how he got to this time. Be patient. It won't come until later at the turning point when he starts to remember his past.
