Wicked Games
AN: Alright so my mind is blown. 1075 views when I'm writing this. That's crazy, when I started this out I never thought I would get this far, and I'm only on my fourth chapter.
I guess it shows that my hard work is paying off now.
I have a plan for this fic. This is going to be structured like the MCU. This won't just be Harry's story, think of him as Iron-Man, Thor and Captain America rolled into one in terms of importance. (NOT POWER!)
Other characters will have their own stories in this fic. I have the ending almost written, I know so early but don't worry this is not even close to being completed, I have a good idea of where the stories and characters will go.
I will tell you guys at least this however, Harry Character arc from the beginning to the end will be one of learning to accept the role as the hero.
Right now he thinks he is unredeemable and at certain points he will do questionable things like any leader does. I told my friends the whole plot of this fic and they said it was ambitious, very ambitious. However if I got it right It could be great.
So today's chapter after my rambling will be about acceptance.
I love to tease! And yeas every sing le chapter name is from a song, listen to them while reading the chapter I guess. I'm making you guys a playlist too!
False Alarm
"Harry, you can't fight! Your weak on the outside!" Said an annoyed Blaise. Harry replied "I'm not weak, and I can help! If you would just let me try."
Blaise shook his head, and muttered underneath his breath "You always say that, you lost a fight to a guy who is under five foot five."
Harry furiously chucked a vase at him screaming "I SLIPPED!" Blaise just chuckled and nodded.
Harry after regaining tranquillity went over the plan again.
"So we grab the jewel's, deliver them to the biker gang and collect our payment? That's simple enough!"
Blaise snorted "Yeah easy for you, I have to fight security guards because you can't defend yourself. Your sixteen in seven months and you can't fight."
Harry took a stance and put his fists up, Blaise rolled his eyes and did the same thing.
As Harry lunged forward Blaise grabbed him by the shirt and threw him on their table breaking it.
As Harry groaned he got back up and wiped blood of his face before he said "I can do this all day!"
Blaise grinned as he replied "Potter, your nothing like Steve Rogers. Your not a Captain or an honarable person, you are a thief nothing more and nothing less. But come I have something to show you!"
Blaise led Harry into a ritual room, runes everywhere leaving no cubic centimetere left untouched.
"What is this?" Asked Harry, confused by it all. Blaise replied "This will help me and you, in this case you more than me. It helps us pray to the Japanese God of Dragons Ryōjin who will grant us one wish"
Harry's ears perked up at that, "My wish will be to give us both some of its powers. Harry you can do whatever you want." Said Blaise
"It's also not a real God, just a old powerful magical being who loves to be referred to as a God." Harry couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or not.
As they set up the ritual, Harry felt excited as he could have a chance to right the wrongs in his life.
As they started it he heard Blaise chant: 'Oh speak to me great Ryōjin, give us your mighty presence!'
For a split second nothing happened then a white light appeared.
Harry woke up to him lying on the floor. As he sat up he realised he was outside and as he looked upon the night sky he saw a form of Northern lights but red and orange in the dark blue sky.
He was wearing a white tracksuit and had his old childhood glasses, big and cheap.
As he started to walk he saw a gravestone infront of him but it was covered in dust.
Natrually Harry wiped a bit of it to see a name as clear as day
Carol Potter
Harry was confused, he had no sister called Carol or any family member at all.
A soft voice came from behind him, "Wipe of all of it!" As Harry turned around he saw Lily Potter standing there in all her glory.
"Mu-mum?" Said a voice broken Harry, their was his mother who had been dead for many years.
"Yes sweetie, it is me!" At that point Harry's heart boke as he ran to her and sobbed his heart out.
"I'm sorry mum, I 'am so sorry for being like this. Please just give me a chance, I will prove it I sw-" Lily cut in between with tears in her eyes.
"Hush! I understand you did what you have to do, forget about the stone just concentrate on me. Can you do that?"
Harry nodded, tears running down his face.
"Harry, my son. I know your wondering how this is possible but I had a choice, to move on or to watch you. I have been watching you through you ups and downs.
Needless to say I'm not hurt or disappointed but surprised that you have a moral code. You don't trade lives, you are the hero just misguided."
Harry shook his head "Mum, I'm not like you, dad or Dumbledore! I'm no hero, I'm weak, idiotic and have no chance of living to seventeen."
Lily smiled as she replied "Harry, you can't suddenly become a hero, a hero takes time and what you don't understand is that you have a choice. A choice to be better than this and I'm positive when you reach it you will take it."
Lily started to walk away as Harry replied "I'm not as strong as you or dad!"
She turned her head slightly around "No Harry, your stronger!"
Line Break
Harry just witnessed his dead friend, Blaise Zambini burn down his old home and take his daughters teddy bear which he gave to her.
So he wasn't having a good day, Dumbledore certainly didn't help. "I need to do Albus, I need to check something quickly!"
Albus shook his head and replied "I told you no, it's too dangerous for you to go out there, especially when Death Eaters know you and are out to kill you. Plus you still haven't identified the person responsible for the fire!"
Harry sighed as he sat back down on his chair and leaned back. "You got a cigarette at least?" Dumbledore's expression turned sour as he retorted "Those bad muggle ones, no. Magical ones yes as they have no effect on your help. Take the packet it's on me!"
He then threw a packet to Harry which he looked at. Fizzy Cherry flavour, as Harry lit it and put it in his mouth he took a deep breath.
Then he let it all out. Damn it felt and tasted good.
Line Break
"We got you your Jewel's Daryl. Now our payment?" Asked an impatient Blaise.
They were on a cliff in Scotland, Harry looked on as he leaned on his black Ford Mustang. He had a cigarette in his mouth as he looked on the landscape.
He would love to visit here with a family if he ever got one. His thoughts where interrupted by a loud argument.
"I will give you the money when the Jewel's have been validated." Said Daryl and as Blaise reached out to grab the Jewel's back, that's when shit hit the fan.
Daryl pulled out a pistol and shot Blaise in the chest, cuasing him to fall of the cliff.
On an instinct Harry punched Daryl in the head, however when he did this it became glowing red and actually knocked his head clean of his shoulders.
Confused Harry jumped down to check on Blaise and he saw blue light surrounding him.
Blaise groaned as he sat up against a tree "That's the third time I have been shot this year!"
Harry grinned as he said "Yeah well Daryl isn't a problem, his head however is."
Blaise laughed in pain as he looked down and noticed his legs where fading away.
"Harry, what the hell is happening to m-" HE then stopped and started to laugh, and then continued
"It all makes sense. Power comes with a cost, Harry listen to me!"
As Harry turned he saw Blaise had half of his body and was confused, where was it going?
"Harry! Look you have a daughter!" Harry's face dropped, a daughter? "It is with Tracey, she is called Carol!"
The words hit Harry like a ton of bricks, it made sense now. His wish was a family, he got it but his punishment was to make peace with the fact his mother died.
As Blaise coughed one last time he disappeared. "Bravo Blaise, you have pranked me again now come out, we have to sell the Jewel's to someone else. Blaise?"
Line Break
Harry kept on digging into the grave, it should be their. As he reached the casket he broke it open with a shovel and what he saw only cemented the fact that Blaise was alive.
Blaise's bow was gone. Only he had knowledge of this and only he or Harry could enter the grave. Samuel Zambini's grave, his father who passed away when they where thirteen.
Harry threw the shovel down and broke down into tears, his friend was truly alive and well.
Line Break
"Where am i? Harry are you there?" Yelled Blaise, his hands tied to a chair.
A snake like man walked in and said "There is no 'Harry' here, don't worry though. You are not Blaise no more."
Red eyes pierced his soul as he continued "Hades, my heir, my son. Obliviate!"
End Chapter
AN: Yes I know, short chapter and bad I think. So we get what really happened between Harry and Blaise.
Harry thought Blaise was doing a prank when fading, and next chapter will be them on the ride to Hogwarts along with the first night. And there will be a surprise addition.
