Chapter 4: Guardian of Hogwarts
Summary: In Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there is a legend. According to the legend, 1000 years ago, during the era of the four founders, an immortal being was said to have been the protector of Hogwarts. Not much of the protector was known except that at the end of the Founders era, said guardian was sealed into the depths of Hogwarts, only in times of dire need that the guardian will appear or so the rumours says. Now a thousand years later in 1996, the frozen wheels of time turn. Meet Harrius, the powerful Guardian of Hogwarts and watch as the Magical world tremble before him…
Explanation: Harrius (pronounced Harry-us but for now lets just call him Harry) is an immortal, meaning that he is eternal and time will not affect him, nor can he die. Born millions of years before the founders, he wandered the world, helping those in need and secretly guided civilization in the shadows. Slowly, Harry began to grow weary of the world and his loneliness grew.
One day, he stumbled onto the grounds of Hogwarts, or rather, what would be Hogwarts as the school was still incomplete at the time. Seeing hundreds, possibly thousands of Muggles (non-magical people) attacking the two wizards and two witches, Harry rushed to the scene to break up the fight by putting the Muggles under a spell that made them forget about the whole fight and the reason they were here. After rescuing the group of four, Harry found out their names were (you probably already know but this is for those who don't) Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff were called the four Founders of Hogwarts in today's history books, listed as one of the most powerful witches and wizards.
After finding out there goal was to build a school that teaches Witchcraft and Wizardry Harry decided to help build the school. When Hogwarts was built, Harry decided to stay and protect the castle after witnessing the multiple sieges that were laid by the Muggles in an attempt to kill witches and wizards and the ground of Hogwarts became a stronghold of sorts because it was guarded by a very powerful being.
Just a few years before four left the world of the living, Harry requested to be sealed into the depths of Hogwarts in hibernation and to be called out only when Hogwarts is in dire need of his protection as he came to treat the school as his home and he knew that the Founders only have a decade or two to live. Reluctantly the Founders agreed as they knew they will miss the person they came to love as brother.
Centuries pass after the sealing of Harry and the founder's death and the story of Harrius was passed down from mother to daughter, father to son, aunt to niece and uncle to nephew, but like all legends, the stories of Harrius was slowly forgotten and the Guardian of Hogwarts faded into the background only to resurface a thousand years later…
1. Harry was not the only immortal being in the beginning of his creation, there were others but slowly there began to fade away into nothingness because they gave up their will to live and just sat there, slowly becoming petrified or permanently transfigured themselves to trees, losing there sentients and consciousness but retained their magical powers. Some of these magical trees were used by powerful wand makers to make staffs and wands, the stones used to lay the foundation of Hogwarts and strengthen the wards of Hogwarts which were created by Harry.
2. Harry is the last immortal being on Earth left since all the others lost the will to live after wandering the world for so long. Harry almost followed the fate of his other immortal friends (its not like he was a loner after all!) had he not found the four founders and befriended them thus slowly rediscovering the wonders of the world (like food, delicious pearl milk tea and chips!).
3. In this story Neville Longbottom is the Boy-who-lived, you can pick for him to be arrogant all for him to have low self-esteem. Ron Weasly is still a prejudiced idiot who can't keep his mouth shut, says the wrong things at the wrong time and is Neville's best friend. Hermione Granger is a bookworm and know-it-all (*sighs happily* some things never change) and because of that she is often bullied and made fun of by the Gryffindors and Slytherins while the Hufflepuffs just try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, the Ravenclaws get annoyed by her because she is always than they are. By the way, all of the characters are in the houses they were in like the real story.
4. Harry Potter was never born in this story but the Potters were still killed because they always hindered Voldemort's plans by capturing his Death eaters and to get back and to weaken the Order of Phoenix's force. Because Harry wasn't in first, second, third, fourth or fifth year, here are the following explanation: in first year, instead of chasing after Voldemort like idiots, after they were shooed away by Professor McGonagall, they went tell Professor Flitwick who then flooed Dumbledore and Quirrel was caught red-handed by the teachers who went to check on the stones.
In second year: Ginny, who after losing the Horcrux diary confessed to the Headmaster who immediately took action and got rid of it, after the students stopped getting petrified and the Chamber of Secrets was forgotten, to avoid mass panic, the Headmaster simply said that the Chamber of Secrets has closed and the danger has passed. Just a reminder Neville is not a Parseltongue and he grew up with his Gran.
In Third year: Sirius Black was cleared of all charges because Severus Snape did not interfere and instead helped Neville catch Peter Pettigrew because he was Remus Lupin's friend during his time at Hogwarts and he trusted him. Neville does NOT have an extremely bad reaction to Dementors like Harry does in the original story and also Sirius Black is not Neville Longbottom's Godfather and never will be so there!
Fourth Year: similar to the original story except Neville replaces Harry and Cedric doesn't die, he was merely full body bound so he saw the whole Voldemort resurrection thing.
Fifth Year: same thing as the original story except Sirius didn't die.
5. Let me make this clear, Harry will not appear at Hogwarts, declare war on the Death Eaters, go and kill Voldemort, he does not do that! He is the Guardian of Hogwarts, because of that he doesn't want to, won't have to kill Voldemort, let the eyes that looked away pay the price and bare the consequences, allow the Wizarding population realise the results of their ignorance and stupidity. After all Harry didn't spend all his time sleeping, while his physical body sleeps, his mind wonders over the world, watching the advancements and actions the Muggle and Magical World makes, because of that he can keep up with the news history and fashion of the present time. Also Harry will attend the classes in the school to learn and catch up on the modern spells, but he is not sorted into any house and has access to all areas of the school.
6. Because Harry is the Guardian of Hogwarts, he mustn't let anger or love cloud his judgement and decisions. So that means no romance between Harry and other characters. But Harry can have best friends and all that sort of stuff. In this story, Dumbledore and Harry become friends and Harry is introduced to the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Because Harry is not a Potter, Snape does not hate him, and speaks civilly with him and they might even become friends! Because Harry is not blinded by prejudice he befriends students of every house, such is the reason why Ron first thought that Harry is evil and does not trust him because he befriends the 'evil' Slytherins. Harry also knows how to speak Parseltongue, courtesy of a ability transfer spell that Salazar Slytherin cast on Harry.
. This scene where Harry appears in Hogwarts is just an example: after the sorting Ceremony was completed and Dumbledore finished his speech, the students were just about to pick up their forks and eats, one was already stuffing food in his mouth (you can guess that who that one is *wink* *wink*) when a tremor was felt and I'm not talking about those extreme tremble-till-the-ceiling-collapsed-on-you kind, I'm talking about small-tremors-that-make-the-drink-in-your-cups-wobble-around kind of tremor. Cracks started forming in the aisle between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables and were rapidly spreading like a gigantic spider web (the cracks stopped spreading when it was about 2 meters wide and long).
Stopping suddenly the cracks formed a prefect circle, then the floor that within the circle began to softly glow a white colour and slowly coming out of the portal-like circle and hovering a few inches above the ground was a gigantic crystal that was whiter than the purest snow until it came completely out of the portal, looking at the crystal, the awed observers could easily see that the entire crystal measured 2 meters tall and 1 meter wide and was roughly oval-shaped.
*Crack…Crack, Crack, Crack* the crystal was beginning to have large cracks spreading all over the entire surface of the beautiful object and in some parts it was already falling apart. With a final *Crack* the crystal broke apart into many small pieces varying in size, some were the size of a adults palm, others the size of a baby's thumb, glittering and shining the shards of white danced in an imaginary wind before disintegrating into dust and quickly faded out of existence before a curious Ravenclaw was even able to collect a sample.
Before transfixed by the shards of snow white crystals, the students tore their eyes away from the now empty air before fixing their gazes at the spot where the giant crystal was only moments ago and gasped. Floating a few inches above the floor of the Great Hall was a teenager that looked around 15-17 years old with messy, raven-black hair that was just a few inches above short of shoulder length, pale but not sickly white skin, long black eyelashes that extended from closed eyelids so you can't see the eye colour, clothed with simple black robes that reached passed his ankles and covered his feet, long, wide sleeves that can hide his hands into and then the teenage boy opened his eyes, surprising many with his Avada Kedavra green eyes that seemed to just glow with power, then the boy opened his mouth and spoke a single sentence that shook the entire castle to its foundations.
"I am the Guardian of Hogwarts"
