UnderHarry

AN: If you are going to review, stop cussing me out, if you don't like it don't read it, I'm not forcing you. I do take feedback, reasonable feedback, seriously, and I tend to reply to them if a person gives it under their login name.

If the uncalled for insults from the anonymous reviewers continue, I'll have to block them, which I do not want to do.

Btw, anyone else besides the annoying anonymous reviewer who apparently didn't READ the fic, think I called Frisk and Chara twins?

And no, I'm not going to drop the genders in the fic to make those that cuss me out happy, besides, if I tried I KNOW I'd screw it up.

I'm also going to delete those insulting ones, not the negative thoughtful ones, or just negative, just the ones that deliberately try to be insulting and hurtful. If it just says "This sucks" it'll stay, but actual insults directed at me will be deleted from now on.

IPORTANT AN: Thanks for the support of registered users after I complained about the anons.

IPORTANT AN2: last chapter obtained some minor edits, including the description on how I see Gaster's magic now.

Chapter 9: Revelations and task.

Gaster was sitting at the table of two out of three and a half, human friends. Or who he thought was two of the three and a half.

The revelation that Wily had given, that they were androids, came as a bit of a shock. The fact that he was able to make them have a semi human growth curve was astounding, although the fact that they needed a large amount of metal in their 'diet' to allow it made sense. The man was a genius, on par with the man he once thought of as his rival.

Wily was now of the opinion that he had surpassed his rival, making two androids that not only grew in a semi-realistic manner, but close enough to human that they actually had souls, if odd slightly nonhuman ones. He also was constantly upgrading the two, trying to make a type of android he saw in an anime.

If he could manage that, then he would say that he had reached a point that his rival never would've conceived of.

The scientist was broken from his thoughts when Gaster spoke up, "Well that explains the odd souls, and how I started to become more comfortable around them so 'quickly'. How did you get them to survive in a high magical environment? I would've thought they'd be fried."

The scientist chuckled, and replied, "You're taking this well young man, and to answer your question, it's due to both Alphys helping to protect them, and the fact that they use biological parts for many of their functions."

Gaster grinned and said, "Doesn't change much to me, I understand why you kept it a secret, I imagine that there are many people, and organizations, that would love to get their hands on them, and probably you as their creator."

The old man nodded his head, happy that the boy was so accepting, but he decided to see weather the girls would accept some combat mods, so they could defend themselves better, especially if they would be hanging around the trouble magnet Gaster.

Time passed quickly, with Gaster not changing his routine a single bit despite the first task coming up, mainly because he was going to blow it off. The rules state he has to compete, but nothing says he has to put more than a token effort in.

He, Chara, and Frisk also became closer to the twins, as they gave permission to let them in on the secret of their 'race'.

In return Gaster showed them his mutated body, and assured them that it was neither life threatening, nor contagious.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Meanwhile, sans was doing something he had been putting off for literally years. Something that he felt was unpleasant, but needed to be done if he was going to maintain a good relationship with his son, not that it had affected said relationship at all.

He needed to talk... with the kid.

He would admit that the version that he has been interacting with in this timeline was a great improvement from the previous ones, but old habits die hard, and he knew he was different himself from the last timelines, having a child changes you.

So here he was, sitting in his favorite recliner while Frisk, and presumably Chara were waiting for him to speak up. He was wearing a shirt that Gaster had bought him as a joke, after he was told that he had called sans 'mom' when a toddler.

It said, "Worlds Best Mom."

"so, kid... I asked you here today to try and bury the hatchet, and not in your back. you've done good this timeline, and I'm willing to admit extenuating circumstances due to your frustration of multiple attempts to make the best ending, and being denied," he started gravely. "i think I can work past the memories eventually, but did you know... that the reason your mother and i accepted the engagement despite you all being so young, is that we could tell that it was heading in that direction anyway?" at the shocked look on Frisk's face, he chuckled, and continued, "i'm not saying we'll be the best of friends, but we have to lower the tension a bit, for both our sakes, and Gaster's."

Frisk nodded, and replied, "I can't apologize enough for that sans, it was just so hopeless to me at the time, I fell for Chara's words, not you, the one I originally had, and just wanted it to end, but I kept getting cold feet." at sans nod, as he had noticed it, she continued, "but each time, it was easier to let Chara do her thing, and eventually, that led to the last time, and me being butchered by you."

sans sighed, and nodded, he could tell she was telling the truth, so he stood up and said, "let's head to Grillby's kid, and get something to eat, we can talk more there."

So the two left, and headed to the restaurant/bar that was run by one of his oldest friends.

A foundation, shaky as it was, was started on a new/old friendship.

Three days later a Professor McGonagall approached Gaster and sans's house. she was sent on a mission by her boss.

She knocked on the door and Gaster answered in his customary outfit, which he has a closet full of.

His eyes narrowed as he recognized the woman outside the door so he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Taken aback by the coldness she took a second to get her bearing and then replied, "Dumbledore sent me to help you purchase a wand."

"Not interested, now go away," came Gaster's reply, and he tried shutting the door.

Tried because the professor used a spell to keep it open.

"Mr. Potter, you will come with me!" she declared, then reached for the boy to use her portkey.

She was stopped when Gaster's eye ignited with a blue light, and she was sent flying backwards with a gesture of his arm.

This was followed by several small balls of fire that were shielded against, and a blunt bone from the ground that broke two of her ribs.

All done without a focus.

Then the American aurors arrived, and pointed their wands at both of them.

"What is going on here?" the lead auror asked.

"She was trying to grab me, while I was in my home, probably to try and use one of those portkey things," Gaster explained.

"I was just trying to take him wand shopping on Dumbledore's orders," game the old woman's reply.

The auror turned toward the woman and asked, "Did you get his guardians permission? Or his?"

"Well no, but..."

"Then you're under arrest for attempted kidnapping, and boy?" he paused and waited until Gaster's attention was on him, "I don't normally say this when things get to a confrontation like this, but good work, you held her off while causing minimal injury until we arrived. With the difference in your ages, and presumably experience that's pretty good. I'll leave the contact info for a good warder for you, so if you think more intrusions like this are likely, you can get some protections. I will also tell them to keep a place open at the academy for you if you show any interest in joining the aurors."

"Thank you," Gaster replied politely. "and as for the recommendation, but I'm happy in the mundane world."

The auror shrugged and replied, "Feels like a waste to not develop that talent, but it's your choice, it's there if you want it."

with that last comment the group of aurors stunned the old woman and took her to the station, and the lead auror popped back three minutes later with the contacts, then departed. (EN)

A day later in Great Briton an old man was raging, his deputy headmistress and transfiguration teacher was in an American jail, and was looking at a long jail sentence if he couldn't get the charges drop.

He then decided to tempt fate with a sentence nobody in their right mind would use, "This can't get any worse.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

It was the day of the first task, and the champions were waiting for it to start, and Gaster was pulled aside by one of the judges.

"Hello Gaster, do you have a plan for this challenge? I'm Ludo Bagman by the way," he said slyly, or an attempted to do it slyly.

"Yup, loose as badly as possible. I have no intention of trying to win this," came the reply, which caused Bagman's eyes to widen in fear.

Ignoring the man Gaster went back into the tent, and waited. Soon enough the official came in and explained the trial, and Gaster's eyes narrowed.

Two of the champions had no surprise what so ever, so Gaster, in the interest of fairness, and noticing that The principle of his school was there, walked over to her, and quietly said, "Did you notice? For a 'surprise' task, two of the champions seem to have known what was going to happen."

at the look Mia sent him Gaster nodded, and went to choose his dragon, thankful he wasn't in it to win it.

Mia on the other hand started leafing through the rule book, and grinning evilly she pulled out a pen and underlined some passages.

Gaster ignored the comings and going of the other champions, including the badly burned but still breathing form of the Hogwarts champion.(EN2)

Then it was his turn, and he walked to the cave, and saw the big mean Hungarian Horntail Dragon, and sighed.

It had come down to this, Mutated boy VS one of the meanest dragons to exist, it would be a epic battle that... wait, did the boy just conjure a small bone, and throw it?

The bone bounced and was incinerated by the dragon. Gaster turned towards the crowd and shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Welp, I tried." and walked out of the artificial cave.

The stands started booing. Three champions had risked their lives for the victory, and their hero had coped out. This shouldn't be allowed to stand... but it did.

Then the champions, the ones that were able to stand at least, stood before the judges to be scored.

"First up is Cedric Diggory, whom while he obtained the egg, was badly injured in the process, we have..." Bagman started.

And the scoring ranged from two, to seven, giving him a total score of twenty-one.

Next up was Fluer, and they were about to start when Mia stood up.

Before we get to the scores of Mrs Delacour, and Mr. Krum, I have to ask something," she started pulling the attention to herself, "Who helped you cheat to know what the task was?"

Silence, it engulfed the stadium. One of the Judges had just accused half of the champions of cheating, and they, due to the contract forcing them to perform couldn't lie about it once confronted.

"How dare..." Karkaroff started, when Krum responded, "My headmaster."

Fluer indicated that it was also her head of school that gave her the info, and so Mia gave an evil smirk, and responded, "then, by the rules, both of you receive a zero for this task, and I would like to say something before we move onto Gaster. He has requested that we give him the same score, as he is trying to deliberately fail the tournament."

The Headmaster/mistress of the cheaters, were annoyed at their champions being tied for last, jumped at the opportunity.

Dumbledore also gave a zero, for the lack of effort.

Bagman, he gave a 10, much to the disgust of his fellow judges.

Crouch ... he gave a ten as well, which made everybody whom knew him look suspiciously at him. He seemed to shake his head vigorously, and with a motion of his wand, took the one out of the ten.

This gave Gaster the second place with a total of ten points... wait, Bagman gave into peer pressure, and dropped it to two points, giving Harry the lowest second place, for the first task, in the history of the tournament when there was more than one survivor.

And so, the first task ended, with the lowest cumulative score of the surviving champions, in the history of the tournament, at twenty-three points.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

EN: this originally was going to be a completely different scene with Harry heading to the wand shop, and finding that his magic incompatible.

EN2: in this story there was no Harry to tell Cedric that there would be dragons, so he was caught completely flat footed.

READER OPININS WANTED BELOW!

I have a few ideas that I want to float that I want opinions on.

1.I have an idea for frisks origins that would be a bit complicated, and perhaps having complications in the future. The idea is that she's a lab experiment, one that escaped, to give a human the ability to alter time, and the DNA for it came from a certain cannon 'chara'cter. The fun thing about this is that it would explain why the two look so much like bloody identical twins, dispite NOT being related. Partial insparation from a 2 paragraph post from divient art.

2. I have three ideas for the second task, and would like opinions on them.

2a. Gaster and Frisk/Chara hide in a place the judges can't find, with the help of Mia, and one of two options happen.

2a1. Gaster gets a lot of points for managing to foil the officials, as they decide that it's impressive they did so.

2a2. They choose someone Gaster doesn't care about and he flubs the task like he does the first one.

2b. Gaster hides one of his floating hands on Frisk, and drags her to serface using it before task begins.

2c. Chara takes over, breaking the stasis spell and slaughters her way to the serface.
