Raised By GLaDOS

GLaDOS

"Ok into the bag!" I was negotiating with the many items Harry needed, the essentials were already packed but there was a few more things I needed to cram in. I was currently in the main chamber with my dormant giant body a few metres to the left, Harry would be leaving us in a few hours and I needed to make sure everything was perfect.

"Will there be space?" Space asked, he had decided to come on a whim and to be honest I was glad to see the back of him, the only reason I kept him was because he was an alarm clock.

"If there is will it get you in the back quicker?" I wondered and the yellow optic widened and the sphere nodded, it jumped into the bag and I looked at what else he was brining, I would need to cut out a few items.

"Ok sentry turret, no, portal device yes," I murmured as my android hands sorted through the stuff

"Well don't worry about me! if that guy's going I am not!" Rick declared not wanting to spend any time with space,

"Fact there is a spherical sized space in the bottom of that bag," the fact core announced, Rick looked at me and Space looked at me. I looked at it

"Fact core while your assistance has been... get out!" I ordered realising it did literally nothing around here, except wind people up and if people were leaving then it could go to the incinerator,

"Fawkes!" I called and the phoenix swooped through the air, grabbed the round ball

"Fact phoenixes are made of fire and the fire below is currently.." the thing announced before being dropped into the chute. Fawkes made a noise as it swooped round and landed on the central chassis.

"Thank God!" Rick sighed as it fell into the unknown fires, it would be dead any second... now.

"So how about getting us a new more... feminine core? I mean it has been getting a little man.." Rick began in that deep seductive voice that wouldn't have worked on a cactus let alone a genius AI like myself.

"Space," Space interrupted suddenly and Rick's green optic narrowed

"Rectified, It's been getting a little to male and spacey around here," he corrected himself looking at the core with distaste. I considered burning them both but that would seriously met up the packing pattern I had going on so I decided against it. At least until I heard a loud cry

"Ohh what smells like burning," A light feminine voice wondered aloud, wait that couldn't be, suddenly the incinerator opened up and an another sphere shot up, this one had a bright pink eye.

"Was that flying, can I fly?" it asked aloud.

"Well hello there pretty lady," Rick grinned "Me and my boy Space here are going on an adventure," Rick introduced

"Space," Space confirmed.

"Curiosity?" I asked aloud, I thought I killed her years ago, she must have been lodged in the incinerator,

"What's an adventure space?" she asked aloud, oh yeah now I remembered why I hated her so much, she was annoying! Well she was going in the bag, Hogwarts could cope with three personality spheres and if it couldn't, well that was their problem not mine,

"I'm going now!" Rick announced seeing as the only female core he had seen in a long time was currently in the bag,

"Where are we going?" she asked

"Space," the answer was supplied to her.

Later- Harry

Do you ever get the feeling something bad is going to happen? well every time GLaDOS smiled at me I got that impression. She kept offering to carry my bag and I was seriously concerned as to what she had put in there, she wouldn't let me check for some reason.

"What is that?" I asked suddenly as a strange red bird landed on her shoulder and nuzzled her neck affectionately, Chell was gaping with her mouth open as GLaDOS didn't shoot it! instead she allowed the little thing to do it

"Oh I have a phoenix now," as if she was talking about nothing more interesting than the weather, Hedwig even chirped from her cage and I assumed that was from surprise. She had to avoid bullets to get close to me and this bird was allowed to perch on the android's shoulder

"Where did you get that?" I wondered but the train that would take us to kings cross pulled up and I never got an answer, something tells me I won't be getting one any time soon as she seemed rather reluctant to answer and jumped on the train immediately to avoid the question. However when we were on the train I noticed a woman staring at me with a wondrous look in her eye, she was pump and red haired and after a few moments I realised it was the same woman who had approached GLaDOS last time we were out, after some research GLaDOS found they were a poor wizarding family and apparently one of them had a love of the non magical world. Now the main issue with them starting at me was the last time we met GLaDOS had threatened to burn their house down

"Oh god," she sighed as the woman walked towards us, she had children not far off and most of them were interchangeable. All had red hair and all but one was male, freckles had invaded their faces but that was about it for similarities, two of them had mischievous smirks while another looked serious and the smallest male of the lot looked smug. The girl looked frightened for some reason and if I had a family like that I suppose I would be too

"Excuse me," the woman asked politely but her voice was laced with suspicion, out two robot companions looked up at her. Again they were dressed to look like a gangster boss and Sherlock Holmes but the woman was not focused on them

"What?" GLaDOS asked looking irritated, the woman smiled falsely and the phoenix twitched possibly he recognised the woman

"I was wondering where you got that bird and why you are still with Harry who was supposed to be returned to his aunt," the woman began sweetly but GLaDOS raised a hand to cut her off.

"The bird is mine, it was sent to me and I decided to keep it, I also sent a letter in response to the Wizengamot and told them exactly where to shove their order, now if you don't mind I really have no interest in speaking to you," GLaDOS answered bluntly and turned to Chell who was watching with slight amusement, Chell signed something to her and GLaDOS nodded. The woman was still there

"That was a note to get lost," GLaDOS informed her not bothering to turn around. The woman moved to say more but she was interrupted by a man who was obviously sick of hearing her

"Excuse me mam, but I would ask you to sit down, this is a train and I don't see what business of yours the activities of this family is," he interrupted looking stern. She looked ready to argue but decided against starting a fight on a crowded train, instead she nodded and turned back.

Platform nine and three quarters

It was time for me to go and Chell looked like she was about to cry, the bots had high fived me and almost fallen into the tracks but the effort was nice. My luggage was away and Chell handed me a few gold coins for sweets on the train, her teary eyes looked at me with wonder and through her eyes I was the little boy GLaDOS had found eleven years ago, she was my mother and she knew it.

"Bye Mum," I whispered into her ear once she pulled me into a tight hug, she made a slight sniffling noise before releasing me. GLaDOS looked down

"I'm going to miss you," she announced in the least emotive voice I had ever heard but it was still a nice thing coming from her , she rarely said something kind and caring but the emotion was always there. I hugged her this time and a for a moment she went as stiff as a board, then she melted into it and actually pulled me tighter. The two robots did fall over this time, in complete shock

"Take care of yourself and you better write," she murmured softly in a low compassionate voice, then she was cold and hard again but I saw something mellow in her eyes. Then the conductor blew his whistle and I was ushered onto the train, then it was moving and with the wind blowing into my face I was waving to the group I called a family. Chell, Blue, Orange and even GLaDOS with some encouragement waved back.

Chell

I'm going to miss him so much, he's been with me eleven years and now he was going off on his own adventure, a world of magic awaited but I was always going to miss him.

"Are you leaking?" GLaDOS asked with a touch of concern, I shook my head with a vengeance and was going to explain what tears were to her, however we were interrupted by the old man with a stern face approaching, oh great Dumbledore was here.

"Fawkes!" he greeted with hopefully eyes but his face fell the moment the bird turned his back on him, then he was annoyed and turned to us both.

"I was told you had to give Harry back to his aunt," he began sternly , GLaDOS let out a long sigh and looked at him.

"I told you once, I told you twice and now for the last time I D-O N-O-T C-A-R-E, I don't care about you, your courts, or anything else for that matter, now if you don't mind I have testing to do and you have Harry and three friends to deal with. Did you know that all Aperture Science personality cores can harness any energy in order to increase movement capability, they can use all energy in the air to float on if they so choose, now I am going to leave while you start wondering what kind of indestructible sphere is going to be plaguing your school very soon...

"Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!"
