I made a drawing of Harry! First time ever that I made a digital drawing and I'm pretty proud of it. If you wanna check it out, it's on my Tumblr and on my DeviantArt. Both of them are under the same name as this account.
"THEN I WILL SEE YOU AT THE CASTLE LATER!" Papyrus said, waving at the three.
Frisk grinned brightly and ran back up to the tallest skeleton, hugging him tight for a few moments before walking back to Harry and Sans, who would join them to Asgore's castle. Both skelebros grabbed one of their hands and they opened a shortcut together.
In a bright flash, they appeared in the middle of the Judgement Hall. Harry blinked a few times to get his vision back and looked down to Frisk, who was looking forward stubbornly, their face contorted in fear and nerves. He squeezed their hand gently in a comforting manner, making them look over to him.
"We'll always be right here for you, Frisk," he said softly.
"Yup. We're rooting for ya, buddy," Sans agreed with a wink.
Frisk gave them both a watery smile and pulled them into a hug.
"Thank you… for everything," they mumbled.
"It's not over yet, kiddo," Sans reminded them chuckling.
Harry chuckled and pressed his teeth against the human's cheek softly.
"This will be the beginning of something better," he muttered.
Frisk nodded and let go of them both. There was a little blush on their cheeks as they peeked over at Harry, but they quickly turned away and started walking through the long hall to meet with Asgore on the other side. Harry sighed and dug his hands in his hoodie pocket. He hoped everything would be alright. Sure, Frisk had done this so many times, but there was still so much that could go wrong, especially now that they had moved away from the usual timeline.
"Frisk so likes you~" Sans teased.
A bright green blush appeared in Harry's face and he glared at his smirking brother.
"Says the guy who's got a crush on a voice behind a door," he grumbled.
That shut Sans up instantly and he turned bright blue. Harry laughed loudly as the older skeleton pulled the hood of his jacket over his head. He wanted to keep teasing Sans, but he was stopped when a phone started ringing. Sans quickly dug his hand in his pocket and pulled his cell out, answering the call.
"Sup, Pap?" he asked.
Harry stepped closer immediately, trying to hear what their brother said.
"YOU WERE RIGHT! FLOWEY DID SHOW UP AND SPEAK TO ME!" Papyrus said frantically.
"What did you do?" Sans asked.
"WHAT WE AGREED TO. I TREATED HIM AS A FRIEND!" came the reply.
"HE TOLD ME TO CALL ALL OUR FRIENDS AND URGE THEM TO JOIN FRISK."
Sans and Harry were silent for a few moments before the oldest came to a decision.
"Do it," Sans said.
"Are you sure?" Harry asked softly.
"Frisk can handle whatever the weed throws at them," Sans replied.
"We need to let this happen. We need to believe in the kid. Trust me."
Harry swallowed and nodded his head. He trusted Sans, just like he trusted Frisk. He straightened his back, his hands curling into fists inside his pockets as his face hardened in Determination.
"Alright. Let's do this, one last time," he said.
. . . . .
Harry and Sans were hiding behind a pillar when the first monster came rushing past. Harry's eyes widened in surprise when he recognized Toriel and he gave a soft gasp. Sans looked at him for a short moment, but didn't question his youngest brother's reaction as another set of footsteps could be heard coming down the hall. It was Undyne, who was followed shortly after by Alphys.
Sans and Harry stepped out of their hiding place when Papyrus approached, the oldest waving lazily. Papyrus scowled and stopped in front of them.
"WHY ARE YOU NOT WITH FRISK YET?" he asked.
"We're supposed to arrive last," Harry replied shrugging.
Papyrus gave a loud sigh and walked onwards towards the Barrier, Sans and Harry following him. As they arrived, the others were all already there, talking to each other.
"HEY! NOBODY FIGHT ANYONE!" Papyrus yelled.
"IF ANYONE FIGHTS ANYONE…! THEN I'LL! BE FORCED! TO ASK UNDYNE FOR HELP!"
"And no one would want that," Harry joked chuckling, causing Undyne to glare at him.
"Hello!" Toriel greeted them cheerfully.
"OH! HELLO, YOUR MAJESTY!" Papyrus greeted back.
He scowled for a moment before leaning closer to Frisk.
"PSST! HEY, HUMAN…" he whispered loudly.
"DID ASGORE SHAVE…? AND… CLONE HIMSELF?"
This had Frisk burst out in laughter, making Papyrus only scowl more confused.
"Hey guys… what's up?" Sans greeted.
Unlike Papyrus and Harry, Sans had calmly strolled all the way to the Barrier, which was why he was so late. Harry chuckled a little while the middle skelebros glared at the oldest.
"That voice…!" Toriel spoke, blushing a little.
Her gaze zoomed in on Sans and she walked over quickly, smiling brightly at him.
"Hello, I think we may… Know each other?" she greeted.
"Oh hey… I recognize your voice too," Sans replied.
"I am Toriel. So nice to meet you."
"The name is Sans," Sans greeted back with a wink.
"And, uh, same."
"Oh! Wait, then…!" Toriel started slowly, looking over to Harry.
"You're Harry! My poor little Harry Potter! You've grown quite a bit!"
"Good to see you again too, miss Toriel," Harry mumbled blushing.
"I'm really sorry for leaving all of a sudden by the way. I… got really freaked out…"
"I understand, dear child," the caretaker of the Ruins told him smiling.
"I am just very happy you found yourself a good home and a nice family."
"I have. Thanks."
Toriel stepped closer and hugged Harry tightly before she looked over to Papyrus.
"And you must be Papyrus!" she said cheerfully.
"WOWIE! ASGORE'S CLONE KNOWS MY NAME? THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" Papyrus exclaimed, blushing a bit too.
"Hey, Papyrus. What does a skeleton tile his roof with?" Toriel asked.
Sans and Harry looked at each other with wide grins on their faces, already knowing where this would go, but Papyrus looked completely clueless.
"UH… SNOW-PROOF ROOFTILES?" he replied.
"No, silly!" Toriel laughed.
"A skeleton tiles his roof with… shin-gles!"
"I CHANGED MY MIND! THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER!"
Harry and Frisk both howled in laughter while Sans just stared awestruck at Toriel. They all moved to stand opposite from Frisk, all looking at the brightly smiling human child.
"My child, it seems as if you must stay here for a while," Toriel said gently.
"But looking at all the great friends you have made… I think you will be happy here."
"H-hey, that reminds me," Alphys spoke up, looking at Papyrus.
Harry shared a look with Frisk, and saw on their expression that this was indeed the moment Flowey would show up. Harry's jaw hardened and his hands curled in tight fists. He was ready for what would come next.
"Papyrus… you called everyone here, right?" Alphys asked.
"Well, besides, uh, her. Uh, anyway… If I got here before you… How did you know how to call everybody?"
Papyrus tensed for a moment, beads of sweat on his skull and his bones trembling, but he swallowed it all down and plastered a cheerful expression back on his face. A lot of people underestimated him for how naïve and trusting he was, but Harry knew he was much more observant and intelligent than people gave him credit for.
"LET'S JUST SAY… A TINY FLOWER HELPED ME."
. . . . .
Harry blinked a few times, scowling confused. The last thing he remembered was Flowey showing up and grabbing them all in his thorny vines, but this was a whole different scene. Instead of standing near the Barrier, he was standing on a patch of grass surrounded by darkness with in the middle, sunlight pooling from the ceiling. In that circle of light stood two beings, Frisk and a young boss monster Harry was sure had to be Asriel himself. The kid that caused it all.
"Whoa! What in the world is this!" he exclaimed.
The two kids turned their heads and stared at him with wide eyes of bewilderment and confusion. Harry awkwardly stuffed his hands in his hoodie pocket and walked over to them. He was just as surprised as they were, if not more.
"Harry? How did you get in here?" Frisk asked shocked.
Harry looked around himself and shrugged. He guessed it was some mystical thing that had called out to him or something like that. But he did know why he was there.
"I was inside this guy, right?" he asked, pointing at Asriel.
"I guess it was just a cry for help from either of you that called me here."
Frisk and Asriel looked at each other, both looking surprised at the young skeleton's statement.
"C-can you help?" Frisk asked softly.
"I might," Harry replied, shrugging again.
"At least, if Asriel still loves his parents."
"O-of course I love my parents!" the young goat boy said bewildered.
Harry's skeletal grin seemed to widen and his eyes sparked with green magic. He pressed a hand against his own chest end pulled his SOUL out. To Frisk's surprise, it was bright green with a soft pink glow lighting up the surroundings.
"So that's what I felt…" Asriel murmured.
"You're a Halfling, aren't you? I didn't know they still existed."
"And yet here I am," Harry laughed.
"But it's not my SOUL that's going to help you."
Frisk and Asriel watched as the skeleton gently cupped his SOUL, a soft, almost sad look in his brightly glowing eyes.
"I'm sorry, mom," he whispered quietly.
"Thank you for all those years, but someone else needs you more. It's time to let go."
To the other two's surprise, a second SOUL released itself from Harry's. A pale glowing pink monster SOUL floated to the middle of the dark space they were in, pulsing and filling them all with a pleasant warmth.
"What is this?" a new voice asked hoarsely.
Frisk's eyes widened and she looked behind her, finding Chara standing there, looking at their own hands in shock. Red eyes looked up at Frisk, then at Asriel before falling on Harry.
"H-how…" they asked slowly.
"Looks like you love them very much too," Harry replied softly.
The pink SOUL pulsed again, this time covering them all in a bright, blinding light. The four teens closed their eyes to shield themselves from the bright glow, and the next time Harry opened his eyes again, he was back in the castle, sitting propped up against Papyrus's hip while Sans tried to shake him awake.
"Harry, you okay, kid?" Sans asked worried.
Harry chuckled and rubbed his skull.
"Peachy," he replied.
"A bit rattled, but other than that, I'm fine."
"WHAT HAPPENED, BROTHER?" Papyrus.
Before Harry could answer, a soft groan had him look over to where the others were all crowded together. His eye sockets widened in shock at what he saw there.
"What the hell?" he asked, scrambling to his feet.
Frisk was lying on the ground, with Asriel curled into their side. On their other side lay another figure, but it wasn't Chara like he expected. Instead, it was another very furry kid boss monster. The only difference he could see was that this one had light brown spots in their fur and their green shirt had only one yellow stripe over their chest instead of two like with Asriel.
Asriel groaned again and sat up, blinking his jade green eyes open, which widened at seeing the other young goat monster. Frisk was slowly waking up too, just as the second goat.
"Ch-Chara?!" Asriel gasped.
The spotted monster's bright red eyes flew open instantly and they looked over to Asriel, looking just as shocked as the young prince. For a moment, they looked at their own paws, seemingly unable to comprehend what had happened before they jumped up and grabbed Asriel in a hug.
"Asriel… Chara…" Asgore mumbled, tears in his eyes.
Toriel sobbed in happiness and fell to her knees, pulling the three kids in her arms. Asgore followed shortly after. Frisk looked to be a bit bewildered at first, but soon enough, they started to smile happily and hugged back. There were a lot of tears involved, making the bystanders smile fondly.
"I-I don't understand," Toriel cried softly.
"H-Harry b-brought us back, mom," Chara replied, sobbing too.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were on Harry, who blushed light green and looked down. Sans and Papyrus both put their hands on Harry's shoulders, squeezing softly in approval and pride.
"Thank you, Harry," Toriel said sincerely.
"It's the least I could do," Harry said sheepishly.
"You all deserved to be happy. Though I honestly have no idea what happened with Chara…"
"Perhaps I could shed light on that," a new, deep voice said calmly.
All heads snapped over to the tall skeleton standing at the entrance to the barrier. Next to Harry, Sans's eye sockets widened in shock and Papyrus gasped loudly.
"D-dad?" Sans asked quietly.
"Hello Sans, Papyrus," the man greeted softly, before focusing back on Harry.
"I believe it was unintentional that you brought me back as well. That is for the same reason as why Chara is now a monster."
"How did that happen?" Harry asked curiously.
"Lily Potter's Love didn't actually 'bring us back'," Gaster started his explanation.
"Instead, she gave those who lost a loved one the power to wish them back to life. You'll find that much more monsters have returned than just us."
"B-but… Dr. G-Gaster… t-that doesn't explain why Ch-Chara i-is a m-monster now…" Alphys stuttered out.
"The King and Queen considered Chara their own child, so Lily's magic acted on this and recreated their body with your genetics, your majesties. Chara is now your child by blood."
Chara gave a watery laugh and hugged Asriel again, their smile wider and brighter than ever before.
"This is the happiest day of my life," they sobbed.
"Harry," Gaster spoke up, making Harry's head snap up to him again.
"We may have just met, but I could see everything in every timeline from the Void. I know how deeply my sons care about you. They truly see you as their younger brother and I hope that one day, you could consider me your father."
Tears slowly beaded in Harry's eyes at those words. He'd never had a father before, yet here was a man offering to take that position and love him like real family. He nodded his head and gave a quiet laugh.
"I'd love that," he admitted.
"How adorable," Flowey's high pitched voice hissed venomously.
"Let's all be happy and forget about the damn flower! I'll kill you all!"
Instantly, Undyne had her spear at the ready and Sans's left eye was glowing bright blue. Before anyone could do anything, however, Frisk jumped forward and shielded the flower, much to everyone's shock and horror. Sans calmed down almost instantaneously and chuckled.
"You weren't joking when you said you'd save everyone, did ya, kid?" he asked.
"I think Flowey's just grumpy anyway," Harry shrugged lazily.
"I bet that a lot of sunlight will be exactly what he needs to feel better."
This had Chara, Frisk and Asriel laugh amused while Flowey hissed curses at everyone. Sans grinned widely and snapped his fingers. A flowerpot appeared in his hand and he stepped forward, handing it over to Frisk, who accepted it with a bright smile of their own.
"If you think I'm going to go in that thing willingly, you have another thing coming, you idiot!"
"Who said you needed to come willingly?" Sans asked darkly.
Welp! That's all folks! Thank you for reading this story. It was a lot of fun to write. Please like and comment and I'll see you in the next one!
Just kidding. We're not even halfway. I do hope you guys are enjoying this story so far though.
Anyway, quick question about whether you guys want to see Toriel/Asgore or Toriel/Sans. Both work for me, but it would definitely change how this story continues.
Some of those changes is that with Asgore, they'll all be one happy family, with Frisk, Flowey, Asriel and Chara being siblings like any others and the skelebros will be close family friends. They'll all hang out a lot with Harry and he'll be coming over daily to help them with homework.
With Sans, Toriel, Frisk and Flowey will live with the skelebros and Gaster while Asriel and Chara live a week with them and a week with Asgore. Since Harry is still a teen according to Monsters, he will mostly see Asriel and Chara at school and there will be PTA Sans.
