Chapter 4

Planning The Future

"Anything Charles?" Logan asked while staring at the inside of Cerebro.

"No, it's like he and Jean has vanished from this planet. I can't find them, I can't find anything relating Jean and that man." Charles replied with a big frown on his face.

"Jean is one of the strongest mutant on this planet Charles and from your description that man is as strong if not stronger than even Jean, so how could you not find them?" A man who looked like a blue bear asked, it has Hank McCoy also known as Beast.

Charles took out the helmet of Cerebro and shut down the machine, "I don't know Hank, I don't have any answer for you."

Logan grumbled, everything was now spiralling down to hell. There is a sort of civil war going between the mutants, some in support of cure and some against it and in the midst of it Jean was found to be alive. Logan was always attracted to her but she had already chosen Scott but now her powers were spiralling out of control and even Scott was dead. Logan knew that the man was powerful after all he was able to get inside Charles head, the look on that man's face told him that he wasn't even a bit afraid rather he was amused by them. "Whoever that punk was sounded very British to me, does he have any connection with any government agency like SHIELD?" Logan asked as they stepped out of the Cerebro.

"I don't know, I have met SHIELD director Fury once and it is possible that the man was one of the SHIELD agents. I have contacted him, let's see if he replies or not." Charles while the three of them were going toward his office.

When they reached prof X office Ororo Munroe mostly known as Storm said, "I was coming to get you, Nick Fury is on the line and he wants to talk to you."

Charles nodded and Storm put the phone on speaker, "Hello Mr Fury."

Fury's deep voice answered, "Charles Xavier, you said that someone took Jean Grey one of the most powerful mutant in the planet who was thought to be dead and you think SHIELD has something to do with her abduction."

"No Nick, I just want to confirm that it wasn't the work of SHIELD." Charles clarified.

"No, it wasn't the work of SHIELD. Tell me what happened and maybe I'll be able to help you." Fury said in a no-nonsense tone.

Charles answered, "We found Jean alive and at the same place where we thought she died, the mental block that I placed on Jean to help her in controlling her power were gone. I tried to recreate the barrier but she woke up and left my mansion, I tacked her down to the house of her parents but Magneto was there as well. I tried to talk to her but Erik didn't help in that matter, she lost control of her power and was about to kill me when suddenly a man came from nowhere and did something to cancel Jean's power. I don't know what he did but Jean was back in control and she fell down unconscious, I tried to get into the man's mind but he stopped me."

Charles took a deep breath and continued, "The man was able to invade my mind like my mental defences were nothing ad I don't know what information he got from my mind and after that he vanished."

Fury was silent for some time, "Describe that man to me."

Charles looked at Logan to reply, "The punk looked like he was in mid twenty and thirty, he had a raven black hair and bright green eyes which seemed to be glowing. He was wearing a black long overcoat and he had a pure British accent."

Fury suddenly asked, "When he vanished was there a small pop."

Charles recalled the moment and replied, "Yes there was a small pop sound when he vanished."

"Tell me the exact line he said before he vanished." Fury asked again.

Charles replied, "He said, 'I am sure we will again but till then toddles'."

There was a long silence but Fury finally answered, "The man you saw is a mystery, he is very powerful and dangerous. He breached a very secure SHIELD facility and even my office without any problem, he said that he was an immortal who was away from earth for thousand of years but now he is back. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not but he is very dangerous, there are few other things that he mentioned but I will keep that to myself for now."

Charles frowned, "What is his name?"

"He said that his name is Hadrian James Potter or Harry Potter in short." Fury replied.

"Potter you say, I haven't heard that name word in a long time." Charles commented.

This time Fury sounded really interested, "Where did you heard it before?"

Charles answered, "You know that Raven Darkholme now known as Mystique grew up with me as my foster sibling, she had a very bad childhood and after her mother died her father tried to kill her due to her ability. She told me that her mother name was Andrea Black and her mother told her to find a Potter if she ever needed help, I tried a lot to find anyone with the name or surname of Potter but I never found anyone."

"That is interesting to know, I'll inform you if I find anything." With that Fury ended the call.

"Is it possible to be an immortal?" Storm asked.

Hank answered, "I don't think it is possible, even Logan with his rapid healing abilities will eventually die one day. Logan's will live maybe for about 250 to 300 years if he doesn't die an unnatural death but if Fury is right this man is older than all of us combined."

"We can't be sure until we talk to him ourselves." Charles added.

"What do you mean when you said that you caged Jean's power?" Logan asked eyeing Charles.

"When I started this school with Erik we both searched for children's who were unable to control their powers, Jean's parent heard about our school and contacted us. When we first met Jean we both were shocked by her powers, whenever she gets angry or moody her power spirals out of control. I looked into her mind and found that there is something else inside Jean and that thing was very powerful, I tried to get rid of whatever it was but it lashed out at me and nearly killed me. I convinced Jean and her parents to let her join the school and amid Erik's protest I created a barrier inside Jean's head that kept that thing away from Jean and she was able to slowly gain control on her powers." Prof X answered.

"Maybe that was your mistake Charles, maybe you shouldn't have caged the thing inside her." Logan said angrily.

"I did what I could to help her Logan, you yourself saw what happened after the barriers broke. Jean is a danger to herself and everyone around her in her current state, she isn't herself right now otherwise Scott would have been alive today." Charles replied back.

The first thing Harry did after returning to Hogwarts was conducting a ritual that opened up a gate to the dimension of House Elves, Elves were a race of magical creature who were the first one to stay away from humans. They created a pocket dimension of their own like the Dwarves but their arrogance led to their downfall, Elves started to abduct humans and used them as slaves and for breeding purpose. Merlin and Morgana who were the most powerful witch and wizard at that time came to know about the crime of elves, both Merlin and Morgana were enemies but they worked together to call forth mother magic and punish the Elves for their crimes. Mother Magic punished the elves by turning them into house elves and this way the entire population of arrogant elves was converted into house elves who were dependent on a magical human for their survival.

Harry called Elder wand to his hands and then pumped a large amount of magic and moved his wand in a pattern tracing the symbol of infinity, "Aperi ei servi porta." He shouted and thrusted his wand forward. The air shimmered and then a big symbol of infinity glowed and came into view, Harry cut his palm to bleed out a bit. He then thrusted his bleeding palm forward at the infinity symbol and shouted, "Quaero quingentos servos."

Suddenly there were 500 bodies of house elves all over the field covered in a stasis field. "Claudere in porta." The gateway to the portal dimensions closed and the infinity symbol vanished. Harry healed his hand and then pointed at the bodies of the 500 house elves, "Excitare servis suis me et Romam reuerterunt." Slowly the house elves started waking up from the stasis.

When each one of the house elf was up Harry addressed them, "I am Harry potter and from this day forth you all are Potter elves, you will learn various skill and crafts while staying hidden. You are responsible for maintain Hogwarts and its surrounding and you will follow my orders and orders of my guest." The elves nodded and disappeared to inside of Hogwarts to scout out the place they will be working in.

Once done Harry checked on Jean who was still unconscious, Harry instructed a female elf to take care of her and inform him when she wakes up. Afterwards Harry opened up his newly bought Laptop and internet connection and started researching on the happenings of the past that he wasn't aware of, he found many interesting things about the past on the internet. History repeated itself to gave birth to another Adolf Hitler and Nazi's, there were mentions of a super soldier Captain America and his team who helped in defeating the Nazi's. On further research Harry found that Captain America was a normal boy who was given a super serum that converted him into a super soldier, his name was Steve Rogers and he gave his life while preventing the Nazi's from lighting up America with Atom Bombs.

When Harry was studying in Hogwarts he was a protégé in almost all of his subjects but he never ventured much into science but after visiting so many universe Harry was well verse on the concepts of science and technology. It would have been easy for him to stay in Hogwarts and rest in wait of the danger that was Thanos but Harry wasn't someone who liked being ideal, he wanted to make a mark on this world again. Harry wanted to make the name Potter rise again to greatness and for that he needed to play the game that was life, he needed to make a impact on the world and his magic will help him with that.

There were many brilliant minds working on the field of technological advancement and one of them was Tony Stark, even though his air of focus was weapons Harry had a feeling that someone as brilliant and inventive as Tony won't just stay confined to weapons for a long time. Harry had many ideas but he needed a big start to launch himself and for that he needed something that will attract a lot of people, humans magical or non-magical have always looked up to the sky and thought of flying and that's why planes, jets and such things were created. But magic was a wonderful thing that can help every man fly, now a days every human being tends to own a vehicle and if Harry could make the vehicle fly then that would be a wonderful start.

The problem was that Harry didn't have much finance to start his work and he didn't want to ask anyone to invest in his ideas, the problem of magical manpower was solved with the number of house elves he now owned but he also needed normal man force to mass produce his creation. Witches and wizards of old always underestimated house elves but they forgot that before getting converted to house elves they were elves, elves were purely magical creatures that were more talented and in touch with their magic. Elves were always better at enchanting and inventing than humans and thankfully for Harry they didn't loose their talent when they became house elves, that's why Harry instructed his elves to learn about every modern technology and machinery.

"I have heard many humans say that Money isn't key to success or happiness but I always thought if you have enough money you can have a key made." Harry turned around to find Death sitting on a chair behind him.

"Hello Death, it's good to see you." Harry said with a smile on her face.

Death smiled in reply, "You as well master, I was here to visit you when I found you thinking about your money problems."

Harry laughed, "You said it yourself Death, it may be true that money isn't everything but it is also true that with money you can buy almost anything. Still, is there a purpose of your visit?"

"Not really, I was getting bored so I decided to visit the one who is always cooking up something interesting and I found you thinking of opening a company. By the way I forgot to mention one thing to you, there aren't any wizards alive but there are people who can do magic." Death said getting the interest Harry.

"Really, who are these people?" Harry asked with curiosity.

"There are human beings that use universal and dimensional energies or life force to do magical feat, they are not as versatile as you but they can perform quite a few things. There is a Sorcerer Supreme who teaches sorcery in a few places on earth to people who have a strong connection to the universal energy, she calls herself the Ancient One and she is near immortal by using some Dark Dimension magic. The place where she teaches is called Kamar-Taj which is in Kathmandu, it is connected to three other Sanctum in Hong Kong, New York and London. They call themselves the Master of the Mystic Arts and are responsible for keeping this world safe from mystical threats, there are also beings who are capable of doing magic in other planets." Death relayed the information to Harry.

Harry sat in silence for a long time thinking about what he should do with this new information provided by death, "That is very interesting, I would love to investigate this Ancient One and the one who call themselves Master of the Mystic Arts. Earth is still not ready to go into space and other planets but I am sure with enough time I can remedy that. Do you have any solution for my financial problems?" Harry asked Death.

Death gave a small smile, "I think you already know the answer master but still I'll give you a hint, what are the creatures that hated humans and elves but then started to love gold?"

Harry's eyes widened as he recognized what Death referring to, "Damn the Goblins, how could I forget that? They retreated on the first sign of war between magical and non-magical taking all the money with them, they brought down the wizarding world economy in a single day and even when the last goblin died they never revealed where they hid all the things that was kept in many branches of Gringotts."

Death nodded, "Yes, goblins found a way to open up a small pocket dimension of their own and dumped everything in it. The goblin king who did this was named Gurkin and he died just after dumping everything in that pocket dimension, he took the knowledge of opening the portal to his grave and no one was able to open that pocket dimension again."

Harry laughed, "Incredible, the amount of gold and valuable items in possession of Gringotts is more than enough for my purpose. Goblins took away all the money belonging to my family and only that money will be enough for my work, with a bit of documents forgery and tampering I will be good to go. But I have one doubt, without the help of Mother Magic they could never stabilize the pocket dimension then how come the pocket dimension lasted?" He asked the last part to Death.

"The same way the pocket dimension of elves lasted after Magic withdrew her power from it, for a pocket dimension to be stable and stay at a single place they need the support of magic but without that the pocket dimension will be accessible anywhere in any dimension." Death answered.

Harry nodded, "Good to know." Harry got up and said, "Why don't you join me for a meeting with the Goblin king Gurkin, he will be helping me to open the portal and getting back the wealth the goblins stole."

Death shrugged as she got up as well, "Sure."

Harry led Death to a big bunker in Hogwarts which used to be the Chamber Of Secrets at one time, the entrance to the chamber was a big painting of the moment when Harry slayed the Basilisk king of the serpents as a 12 year old. "Nice picture." Death commented."

Harry smiled and replied, "It was one of the first crazy things that I have done. $Open The Chamber$." Harry said the parseltounge password that made the painting vanish to reveal a small space inside, Harry and Death stepped inside as the painting closed itself and the place lit up. "$Down$." Harry again gave the parseltounge command and the tile beneath them started going down, when they were down on the basement Harry used his Resurrection Stone to call the spirit of the Goblin king Gurkin.

A translucent shape of a goblin became visible and it was the spirit of Gurkin, a fact about the Resurrection Stone was that the owner of the stone could command the spirit called and the spirit would have to follow the command of the owner. "Gurkin, you stole the possession of the wizarding world that they entrusted with the goblins in the Gringotts banks. Open the pocket dimension where you kept all the stolen items, now." Gurkin couldn't do anything else other than following the commands of the Master Of Death, he chanted some spells in Gobblydonk and the gateway to the dimension opened up. Harry wasted no time in calling everything out of the portal outside in the bunker, the amount of gold galleons, jewelries, gems and many valuable things started pouring out. It was so much that Harry had to enchant the bunker quickly so that it could enlarge according to the need.

"Goblins were really greedy bastards, this is hundred times more than the entire Potter Fortune." Harry said staring at the mountain of gold and other valuable items, Harry banished the spirit of Gurkin back and called for 10 house elves. "I want you to separate everything in this treasure, I want every different thing kept separately. There is no hurry so take your time."

The elves nodded and chorused together, "Yes master Harry."

The Elves started their work as Harry turned to Death who vanished the pocket dimension from existence, "An empty dimension is not god for the balance. You have your hands full for now master, I'll come again or you can call me if you need me."

"See you later Death." Harry said, Death gave a small nod and vanished. "Well my money problem is solved, now a bit of document forgery and I'll be all set to go."

Harry first bought a small apartment in Southampton and tampered the documents such that it would show that Harry has been living I that apartment for over a decade. In a single day a Hadrian James Potter came into existence on the United Kingdom citizenship list, documents were forged telling a faux history about him. An orphan Hadrian James Potter who was twenty-three years old popped up as a citizen of England who recently found out about his parents and inheritance, Harry tampered with all the historical records to add Pooter name to the list of old and wealthy families. In the Bank Of England an old vault came into existence belonging to the Potter family who were thought to be extinct and a new hire was found with the name of Hadrian James Potter.

Harry made a legal Driving License, Passport and he enrolled himself in University of Southampton Research Centre with forged education documents that showed that he had been working in the Research Facility for almost seven years and recently gave his resignation. Harry did all of this happened in a matter of week by Obliviating, Confounding and conjuring forge documents at every place, Harry know that what he did was morally wrong but after living for a such a long time your moral compass tends to be a lot more flexible as all that mattered to Harry was that no innocent was hurt in anyway with his work.

It took two complete weeks for Jean to recover her strength and for the power of Phoenix which recently got unbounded to settle down completely within Jean, when Jean opened her eyes she found herself in a big bed and a luxurious room which looked like a five-star hotel room. Jean was still weak as she hasn't eaten anything in two weeks but she gathered her strength to sit up on the bed, just then she remembered everything that happened after she woke up from her sleep in Alklai Lake. The revelation that she killed her love Scott and nearly killed her mentor Charles Xavier hit her like a high speeding truck and she broke down in tears.

Suddenly something burst into the room and started singing in a lovely voice that made Jean calm down, she looked and saw a Phoenix which look exactly like the one she saw in her mind. "Am I still inside my mind?" She asked to the Phoenix but the majestic bird continued singing in a soothing voice and circle around room, before she could say anything there was a sudden pop sound and a humanoid creature with long ears and a pointy nose stood in front of her. Jean was surprised and reeled back in shock, "What are you? Where am I?"

The creature replied in a faulty English, "I be Mipsy Miss Jean, I am a House Elf and you be sleeping in master Harry guest room for two weeks. I'll inform master Harry that you is awake, please freshen up and I'll prepare food for you." Before Jean could say anything, Misty popped away followed by the Phoenix who vanished in a burst of flames.

Jean got up from the bed and found the bathroom, once she was done she found a dress lying on the bed and she put it on and headed out of the room. Jean wasn't sure what this place was because from the looks of it this place looked like a beautiful dream palace from some fictional story, she found a staircase and went down on it to find the same man who saw in her mind sitting on a dining table feeding grapes to the Phoenix see saw back in the room. Jean went to the man and asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

Harry looked up to see a fully awake and showered Jean, he smiled and replied. "I told you my name before but to refresh your mind I'll say it again, I am Hadrian James Potter or you may call me Harry Potter. You are currently in my home or manor in a manner of speaking, this place is Hogwarts and I bought you here after the Phoenix force inside you finished her temper tantrum. Come sit, I'll explain once you have enough energy in your bone to stand still."

Jean would have protested but she was extremely weak and hungry and suddenly the house elf Mipsy popped up and filled the table with plates of Bacon, Sausages and boiled eggs. Jean needed no invitation as she extremely hungry and she nearly jumped on the food, once she finished up Mipsy again popped up with Juice for her and coffee for Harry. Once she was done Jean looked at Harry for answers.

Harry took a sip of the hot strong coffee and looked at Jean, "You see Jean Phoenix are extremely rare and immortal creatures and I am sure you must have only heard or read about them in some fiction works or some mythology." Harry petted the Phoenix who was now looking at Jean, "This here is Fawkes, one of my very old friend and I haven't seen him for a long time but he came to me recently because you are his next partner."

Jean was more confused than before, what was the purpose of telling her about Phoenix and partnership. "I don't understand."

Harry smiled and continued his explanation, "Jean you remember what you saw in your mind don't you?" Jean nodded as Harry continued, "The Phoenix that is inside you isn't like Fawkes, that Phoenix is a powerful celestial being of the universe and she choose you to be a vessel of her essence. You are that much powerful because of the essence of Phoenix inside you."

"Why did the Phoenix choose me? How could I use my power when Prof Xavier blocked the power of Phoenix inside me?" Jean asked since she needed to get some answers and she needed it badly.

Harry took another sip of his coffee and replied, "Why the Phoenix choose you I can't say, Celestial beings are lot different and most of their actions isn't governed by normal human emotions. Your prof X tried to bind the essence of Phoenix inside you because as a child you were not in full control of your powers, you nearly killed him in a fit of anger as a child that's why he bounded the power of Phoenix inside you. You were still able to use your powers because it is nearly impossible to contain and bind the power of Phoenix completely, you were using a small fraction of your full power and when the bindings broke the Phoenix was angry for being bound for so long and she lashed out."

Jean nodded but she wasn't convinced that it wasn't her fault in any way, no matter what she does the face of Scott was always on her mind. Jean was about to broke into tears again but Fawkes stopped her with her song, "I said it before Jean, what happened was not your fault. True you will miss Scott and you should but that doesn't mean you should punish yourself for that accident, you have to move on Jean."

Jean composed herself and nodded, "Are you a mutant?"

"No Jean, I am not a mutant. I am an immortal being from the time before mutants, there used to people with powers like me but now they are extinct and once they were completely gone from this world mutants started to take birth in this world. My history is not something that you need to worry about, what you do need to worry about is getting your powers under control again." Harry said to Jean.

"I should go back to prof Xavier, he can help me with getting my powers under control." Jean said to Harry as she really wanted to go back to X Mansion and meet her friends again under better circumstance.

Harry finished his coffee and put the cup down, "Sorry Jean, I have no problem with you going back but you need to learn a bit of control over your powers." Jean glared angrily at Harry but he didn't deter, "If you don't control your powers you will be a threat to everyone around you Jean, I know about your X Mansion and how Charles Xavier help mutants learn to control their power but you are different Jean. If you lost control for even a fraction of seconds you could bring down the whole X Mansion while killing everyone in it." Now that really scared Jean, "I have a place inside here where you work to control your powers, Fawkes here will help you in your task."

"How will she help me?" Jean asked looking at Fawkes but Fawkes glared at her.

Harry laughed, "Fawkes is a he Jean not she." Jean bit her tongue and said sorry to Fawkes who nodded and accepted Jean's apology, "You have seen first hand the power of the voice of a Phoenix, Fawkes can't do what you do but her voice will keep your powers under check."

Jean looked at Fawkes and asked, "What can Fawkes do then?"

"A Phoenix tears can help most fatal wounds and can counter the most potent and vicious poison, they can carry immense load and they can teleport with it to almost anywhere in the world." Harry answered and then called the house elf Mipsy, "Mipsy, take Jean to the ROR."

"What is ROR?" Jean asked Harry.

Harry replied, "ROR stands for Room Of Requirement, it is a room that will change to any room as per the users wish. Right now, I have made it to be fixed on a heavily warded hall where you can work on your powers without bringing down this manor." Jean was stunned by Harry's reply; the prospect of such room wasn't lost on her. "One more thing Jean, don't go outside the manor otherwise I won't be responsible for your safety." Before Jean could ask why Mipsy with her small hands took hold of Jean and dragged her towards the ROR while her new Phoenix friend and trainer Fawkes followed her.
