Sa'd al-bari is Arabic for "lucky star of the excellent one"

Part VIII: To Be a Hero Take 1

"So what do you think?" Cassim's casual question broke through his son's slightly shocked brain.

Aladdin, for the most part, didn't seem to hear the question. He was having trouble processing what his father just said.

He proved this point not five seconds later with, "You want to wish for what?!"

Cassim raised an eyebrow at Aladdin's flabbergasted look. "Exactly what I said. It would make for a truly great adventure for the grandkids…. Don't you agree?"

Aladdin still seemed to be having difficulty processing the conversation, "I think I need to sit down."

He raised a hand to his head and managed to sit on a flat rock behind him without to much trouble, which was probably a good thing considering his mind-set. Cassim sat next to him and put a comforting hand on his son's shoulder, "I realize this is a lot to take in, but Iago and I agree this is a good idea. Think about all the possibilities! The adventure! And, even though I couldn't be there for you growing up, that wouldn't be the case for my grandkids."

Aladdin nodded, it was true. If Sa'd al-bari could grant the wish then there would be no problems with Cassim being around for the future generations of their family. "Iago agrees with this?"

Cassim nodded, "He actually wants in on the wish too. So it would be for the two of us. I would ask you and Jasmine to join us, but that might be pushing the limits for the wish. And with you two starting a family… there might be a bit to much heart break when the kids grow older."

Aladdin nodded. He was pretty happy with the life he and Jasmine had. And wasn't sure he would want to be a part of his father's wish. It would give the pair of them time to grow closer, but Aladdin was pretty happy now, with the knowledge that his dad was alive and not dead like he previously thought. He was to old to be trying to form some kind of father son bond like he would with his own kids. Although, Cassim being around more with this wish would help them grow closer in the time they had together.

And it would give Cassim plenty of time to be a grandfather as well.

The two of them continued working out the details of Cassim's last wish well into the afternoon. They discussed the pro's and con's of the wish and the different things it would mean to Cassim and Iago, all the doors it would open for them.

Before going back into the cave, Aladdin stopped his father, "Dad, about that prank war, it seemed slightly odd for you to be partaking in something like that…."

Cassim hesitated for a moment before answering, "Well, normally you'd be right, I wouldn't take part in something like that. But I kept remembering the look on the boy's face when we first rubbed the lamp…. Iago and I thought it would help get his mind off things like that, which lead to the revenge Iago got against Genie. It was good to see something other than that fear in Sa'd al-bari's eyes when he looked at me…."

Cassim shook his head to clear away the dark thoughts, "Besides, the whole thing probably helped him work on his magic as well! Which might be why Genie declared it in the first place…"

Aladdin chuckled, that was definitely typical Genie behavior. It was good to know his dad was willing to do something like that to help Sa'd al-bari have something to laugh about in this whole mess. By the time they returned to the cave they were both famished and completely unprepared for the insanity that awaited them.

Cassim opened the secret entrance to his hideout and stopped dead in his tracks upon entering it. Aladdin, who wasn't expecting the lack of movement, walked right into his father.

"Hey! Why did y-" Aladdin stopped talking mid-sentence as his jaw hit the ground from the picture in front of them. Cassim was mirroring his look of slack-jawed disbelief as he looked around his once home.

Although, at the moment, it seemed to look more like a zoo.

Literally.

Animals of every shape, size, color, and wildlife habitat were swarming the cave.

Genie and Sa'd al-bari were in the middle of it all, seemingly arguing about something having to do with the animals wandering around them and making new ones appear. Abu and Iago were with the pair of genies stuck somewhere between egging them on, and dodging the more hostile animals appearing out of thin air at a very swift rate.

Carpet seemed to be panicking slightly and trying to get Genie and Sa'd al-bari's attention.

"WHAT IN ALLAH'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?!" Cassim's shout seemed to stop all movement in the cave as everyone (animal, monster, genie and carpet), turned to look at him and Aladdin. Sa'd al-bari, Iago and Abu had the grace to look slightly sheepish at his glare.

"Oh Good!! You guys are back!!" Genie poofed over to the father and son pair, seemingly oblivious to Cassim's glare-o-death, "You can help settle this argument. Which animal here seems to be the most exotic one you've ever seen??"

Abu and Iago slapped a paw or wing to their respective heads, "Oh brother…."

"You said it monkey. Oyi."

Cassim's glare just intensified as he narrowed his eyes at Genie.

He heard a cow moo.

"Are you still sure about that wish you want to make dad?" Aladdin's amused voice spoke up from behind him.

Cassim growled at the lot of them.

(About Six Months Later)

"Come on slow pokes!! We have to go before we're late for Jasmine's giving birth!!" Genie was flying in circles around the cave, waiting for Cassim and Iago to get ready.

Harry was just as excited, but also nervous, because Genie felt he was finally ready to be a "real genie" so to speak. Hence the trip to Agrabah to witness the birth of Cassim's first grand child and Aladdin and Jasmine's first baby. They were also going to stop in on Eden and Dandji as well, so Genie could introduce his protegee to his love interest.

To hide the fact that Cassim and Iago were wanted criminals still, they were using disguises and a little notice-me-not magic that Harry and Genie cooked up from Harry's time as a wizard.

About once a week, over the last few months, Aladdin would come visit the quartet at Cassim's hideout. He would spend the day, bring news on Jasmine's condition and at times, act as interference between the genies and thieves when things got a little crazier than normal. Which happened a lot with Genie's jokester personality.

Over their time together, Cassim and Iago really got to know the pair of genies, and vise versa, which made Cassim's wish that much easier to make. If the four of them couldn't get along, then the wish would be useless.

"We're coming already! Sheesh!" Iago was lounging on Cassim's shoulder as the former King of Thieves clicked at his horse to get it moving.

Genie let out a Wahoo! of joy and the group started off toward Agrabah. Aladdin had wanted to send Carpet out to pick them up, but Cassim refused the offer. While he trusted the rug for the most part, he still liked the feel of riding a horse even more.

"I'll race you Genie!!" Exclaimed Sa'd al-bari, who loved flying even more now that he was free to do it without a broom.

"You're on kiddo!" The two genies were off like a shot. Cassim shook his head at the pair of them. Over the past few months Sa'd al-bari had become more accustom to how he could use the magic now a part of him. The smaller genie seemed to be able to relax around the others and wasn't as tense around Cassim and Iago as some would think. His personality was also much more reserved than Genie's, which was helping Cassim's sanity immensely. He didn't go around telling jokes like Genie did, nor did he use magic to help make the point of said jokes either. The former King of Thieves wasn't sure what he would do if he was stuck with TWO genies like Genie.

Granted, he had yet to meet Eden. But that would be rectified shortly.

Nothing was said yet about Cassim's last wish, but the former king thought the small genie would be able to grant it. It would be a huge task, but hopefully the result would be worth it.

"I can almost taste that wish…" Iago seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Cassim about it. When Aladdin had finally gotten over the shock of the proposed wish, and had time to think on it, the former street rat was all for the slightly unorthodox wish as well.

"Patience, my feathered friend. It'll be done soon." Cassim stepped up the speed of his horse so Genie and Sa'd al-bari didn't come back teasing them about going to slow.

Meanwhile, Genie and Harry were flying circles around Cassim and Iago's position, but kept far enough away that they wouldn't be easily seen.

"Genie, about the wish thing, I know I need to explain the rules of what a master can't wish for, but can I phrase a question into a wish?" Sa'd al-bari was thinking about what would happen in the more distant future and the possibility of Voldemort getting a hold of his lamp.

Genie thought the question over. "Well it depends on how you word the question. And on how strongly the master feels about the answer. If they answer with an emphatic yes, then chances are you could get away with the deceit. But at the same time, you would be pushing the boundaries for what a genie can and can't do… Does that make sense?"

Sa'd al-bari nodded his assent, as he thought over Genie's answer. "But at the same time, you have to be careful a master doesn't try and trick more wishes out of you!"

The genie's chuckled over that as they remembered how Aladdin had tricked Genie into getting them out of the Cave of Wonders. Genie had made sure Sa'd al-bari was aware that it could happen and had been mentioning it constantly in the past couple of months.

"Are we going to see Eden as well?" Genie had told Harry all about his girlfriend, and the newer genie couldn't wait to meet her.

Genie did a couple of twists, hearts flying all around him, "Oh yes!! Eden will be at the palace as well!! She's wonderful!! You're going to love her!! She's funny and cute and smart and funny…."

Harry was also slightly worried Eden wouldn't like him, but Genie assured him they would get along famously.

As Agrabah slowly came into view, Harry and Genie began to reduce their speed so Cassim and Iago could catch up to them. Originally, Harry and Genie were going to travel through the city via lamps, in case someone got the bright idea to try to steal Sa'd al-bari's lamp from Cassim.

However, after much discussion, slight arguments, and finally massive amounts of puppy dog eyes and "fake" tears, Harry got his way and the two genies would be able to pretend to be a human as they trekked through the city. Harry morphed into what he looked like prior to the ritual, only dressed like Aladdin used to, and conjured up a horse to ride. He left off the glasses and added a turban to hide his ears.

Genie twirled into his usual human outfit of white and blue pants, a white vest and hat. His ears were also hidden under the head wear. He conjured up a horse of his own and the two of them waited for Cassim and Iago to catch up with them.

"Now remember, no magic until we reach the palace!! And stick close to Cassim and I!! I don't want you getting caught by the palace guards and thrown in the dungeon or something…." Genie gave Harry a wary look.

"I know Genie!! You've said that at least fifty times in the past 6 hours. We're just a couple guys riding camels through the city on our way to the palace! We'll be fine! I'll be fine!" Harry looked back and saw Cassim and Iago catching up with them. The duo slowed to a stop when they came even with the disguised genies.

Cassim turned to Harry, "Now remember, no magic until we get to the palace!! And stick close to Genie and I. I don't want you drawing unnecessary attention to us from the palace guards or doing something that lands us in the dungeons…."

Cassim then turned to Genie, "And that goes for you too!"

Harry and Genie blinked at each other as Cassim and Iago started riding ahead of them. Genie pulled out some tour guide pamphlets and began explaining about different things about the city's history and some of the adventures Aladdin had gotten them into through the years.

Harry, for his part was in awe of everything around him as they reached the front doors of the city and proceeded through them. The sounds reminded him a little of Diagon Alley, but the sights were all completely new and fascinating. He was looking all around him at an alarming rate taking in as much detail as he could. The fire eater, the man who was enchanting a rope and climbing it, the different stands trying to sell goods so they could feed their own families, the strong man, the animals…. The man sneaking up on a girl and pulling her back into an alley as she struggled against him….

Harry stopped his horse. He had to do something to help that girl! But Genie and Cassim had said no magic… He looked around and noticed the others were much farther up the street then him, as he was looking all around him at the strange sights and walking slower than them.

Gryffindor's Golden boy made a split second decision. Calling out would probably be noticed by the man. Harry quickly dismounted his horse and sent it ahead, hoping the others would see it and come back looking for him in time to help. He edged his way towards the alley's entrance and heard some noises coming from behind some carriages. It was like someone was struggling, but couldn't call out because their voice was muffled.

Harry edged his way down the narrow path, careful to avoid the barrels and other small things around him. He peeked behind the large carriage and saw a girl tied up with her hands behind her back and a cloth in her mouth. She was struggling futilely with the ropes, but unable to break them. A large man with a dark cloak and turban was rummaging through a small bag, occasionally looking over at the girl and then glancing down at something in his hand. He'd shake his head and put the object back again.

While the man's attention was focused on the bag, Harry made another split second decision. He knew Genie and Cassim said not to use magic, but there was no way he was going to let this guy kidnap a girl!! He wiggled his fingers a bit and a carbon copy of the girl appeared right next to the real one.

The girl made a startled sound and glanced around the area, her eyes catching Harry's. Harry quickly put a finger to his lips as he wiggled his fingers again, which pulled the girl towards him. The fake child was still struggling just as the real one had.

Just as the girl was behind the wagon with Harry, the man turned again towards the fake girl. He again shook his head and returned to rummaging in the bag.

Harry un-tensed a little as the man didn't seem to notice any differences with his duplicate. He turned his attention to the girl who was looking at him with astonishment in her eyes. Harry put a finger to his lips again, and made a motion that looked like he wanted to remove the gag.

The girl, still star struck, nodded. Slowly Harry removed the gag and began untying the girl. The moment her arms were free she quickly grabbed Harry around the neck, into a huge hug. The new genie wasn't quite expecting the move and caught himself on the wagon next to them.

It moved forward slightly.

Harry silently cursed his luck as the man turned his full attention on the wagon, expecting someone to jump out at him at any time. He pulled out a small dagger and looked around taking everything in. The fake girl, also didn't stop her struggling, which didn't give the man any more confidence that there was nothing there.

The new genie put on arm around the girl, firmly attached to his chest and began edging the pair of them away from the wagon and alley way. The man also began working his way towards Harry's old position.

The little girl in Harry's arms sneezed, giving them away to the man. Harry began running towards the alley's exit, just as the man came into view behind them. He saw Harry running with someone attached to him and glanced back at the girl, but she had mysteriously disappeared.

The man took off after them.

Just as Harry reached the end of the alley, he turned his attention back for only a moment to see how far away the man was from them.

That proved to be a bad move as he ran straight into a large immoveable object right in front of him.

"Ooph!" Harry went sprawling backwards, landing on his back. The girl, who'd been caught between Harry and the object, gasped for breath and had let go of Harry upon impact, falling next to him on all fours.

"Well, well… What do we have here boys? A couple of street mice maybe?" The voice was non other than the head of Agrabah's guards, Razuel.

Although, Harry didn't yet realize that bit of information. He looked up at the guard, and was about to say something but was cut off as another shadow fell over him and the girl, "Ah!! Guards!! You were in the right place at the right time!! I thank you for your timing! This boy was trying to steal my daughter away from me!! I had them cornered in this alley, but he threatened her and made me move out of the way, least he hurt her too!!"

The man who had tried to kidnap the girl, had put away his dagger and was coming out of the alley. He had the look of a distraught father, eagerly awaiting the return of his daughter. He grabbed the girl by the arms, and pulled her up. She tried to struggle, but he moved his hold from her arm to the back of her neck, stopping her movement and promising pain if she said anything.

The girl seemed to catch onto the new threat and didn't say anything verbally. There was, however, a lot of fear in her eyes.

"Is that so?" Razuel glared down at Harry and pulled him up by the front of the shirt, to a standing position. Harry's arms automatically went to the bigger man's arms to try to get him away, but knew magic would be a bad thing at the moment.

He tried pleading his case instead, "Please sir! It's not what yo-"

Razuel stopped him mid-sentence by shaking him rather roughly, "Quiet street mouse. It's off to the dungeon for you! The Sultan will decide whether you die or live minus one paw for this!"

The large guard turned his attention to the man, who was still holding the girl firmly in place, "Come to the palace and plead your case to the Sultan, to see that this boy gets what he deserves."

The man looked unease for a moment, "Surely that's not necessary. I mean you seem to have this well in hand… My daughter has had quite a fright today. It might be best for me to bring her home right away."

Razuel shook his head, "No, I insist. The Sultan will want to hear first hand how this happened. It would be best for you to join us."

The man seemed caught. He nodded his head and motioned for Razuel, Harry in toe, to proceed them.

Razuel flung Harry at the two guards with him, who caught him by an arm each and began dragging him towards the palace. Razuel waited for the man to begin walking before bringing up the rear. A small smile was on the large guards face. He caught another piece of trash from dirtying the streets of this fair city.

Harry gave up trying to explain the situation, when every time he tried to say something the guards would tighten their hold on his arms, and one would smack him upside the head rather harshly.

Had Harry still been human, it would've smarted quite a bit. But as it was, he pretended it hurt and kept silent. /Genie is so going to kill me!! …. That is, if he wouldn't let me defend myself!!/

He was also trying to get a glimpse of the girl, who, as far as Harry knew, was still being held by the guy trying to take her. But all his efforts at that were being stopped by the man who took her in the first place, moving the pair of them right out of his line of sight.

The doors of the palace came into view and the guards on duty opened it up for the entourage at a nod from Razuel. The captain made sure everyone was in before having the guards shut the doors behind them. He gave the guards a look that said, 'Lock these and be wary.'

The pair seemed to understand and nodded ever so slightly, then proceeded to ignore the group.

"Come. The Sultan is in the throne room and will see you shortly." Razuel lead them through the gardens and up the stairs. He had the guard on duty announce them to the Sultan, and a moment later a large door was opened.

Harry peered around, taking in the throne room. He saw Aladdin and Abu standing near the Sultan's chair.

Movement caught his eye and he glanced over to his left out of the corner of his eye. Cassim and Iago were there, the former of which was glaring at him rather angrily with his arms crossed.

Genie seemed to be no where to be found, which seemed unusual to Harry. /Where would he be??/

Any thoughts on that were cut off as the guards holding him made him bow to the Sultan, head forced down.

"Sire," He heard the captain say, "This boy was found wondering the streets with this young girl and ran into us. The man with us claims to be her father and says the boy was trying to kidnap her. He had them cornered in an alley way but he threatened her and the man had to let them out, least she get hurt. Where we ran into them."

The Sultan, a small man with a white beard, rubbed his chin, "I see. Thank you Razuel, you have done well in bringing them here to our attention."

He turned towards Harry, "Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Harry felt the guards let his head up, but kept hold of his arms. "Yes sir. The man is lying! That's not his daughter, he grabbed her and I followed them into the alley to try and get her out safely!! She was tied up by him!"

He glanced over at Aladdin, but the young Sultan to be wasn't giving anything away. The man spoke up, "Sire! That's a lie! Don't listen to him! He's just a lowly street rat and would say anything to sway you from the truth!"

He tightened his hold on the girl, who whimpered slightly. Aladdin stepped forward, "Your daughter is she?"

He walked over to the man and girl, seemingly studying the two of them closely to see some kind of similarity between the two. "I"m not sure I see a family resemblance…. And you seem to be holding onto her a little tightly… don't you think?"

Aladdin raised an eyebrow at him. The man reluctantly released his hold on the girl, who took a few steps away from him towards Aladdin. "It's true! That boy was trying to save me!! Honest!! That man grabbed my at one of the market stands and I was too startled to cry out!!"

"I know Dandji, it's alright. Really, Eden's been going crazy trying to find you!" The man narrowed his eyes at them and stepped back. Aladdin pulled Dandji behind his own body and turned towards the man. "Guards!! Seize him!"

Razuel and a few of the guards made a run at the man, but he was to fast for them and twisted out of the way. He ran towards the balcony, knowing the door would be guarded from the outside as well.

He didn't make it very far when, "Try to steal MY master will you mortal?!"

A dark looming figure seemed to be materializing out of thin air and smoke seemed to be surrounding the man. The being had glowing black eyes and a dark green complexion. Lightning was crackling from her fingers as she bore down on the now trapped kidnapper.

Magical lightning hit the ground around him and he was caught up in the blasts. He screamed and disappeared before anyone could blink.

Smoke cleared, the sky brightened, and the dark green looming figure bore down on Harry next, "You! You are the one who tried to rescue my master… are you not?"

"uhh… yes?" Harry wasn't quite sure how to react to this. The guards had let him go when the green being had turned her attention on him, stepping back out of the line of fire. The Gryffindor Golden boy didn't dare take his eyes off of the figure.

"Then I have just one thing to say to you." She got even closer and Harry fought an urge to step back.

He was suddenly engulfed in a bone cracking hug, as it was his eyes bulged out slightly, "Thank you!! Thank you thank you!!"

"Eden!! Let him go before he passes out from oxygen loss!!" The girl, Dandji, came up to the pair. Eden let go of Harry and turned towards the girl, engulfing her in a hug as well. "And YOU!! What were you thinking leaving me behind here at the palace while you were collecting things from the market?!"

Harry's jaw dropped as he registered who the other being was, "YOU'RE Eden?!… what in the world is going on?!"

-End Part VIII-

Author's Notes Take 1: Mistress Ashley made a great picture of Harry as a genie for me!! As soon as I figure out how to upload it, or something similar, I'll put a link in and let everyone see it! (As I am not the most computer savvy) XD

Author's Notes Take 2: This will probably be one of the last chapters in the Aladdin time period. Cassim's going to make his wish in the next chapter and we'll have some more interactions between Harry and Eden. PLUS… some other things as well… ;p

Author's Notes Take 3: CK, please let me know if I was able to address your concerns about the last chapter with this one. I hope it helped fill that missing link we were talking about! :)
