Reading Ch 6: A Change in Destiny Part 3
With Pyrrha and Jaune
"I don't think this is it," Pyrrha remarked as she and Jaune walked deeper into a cave.
"Pyrrha, I made the torch," Jaune sighed resignedly. "Could you humor me for about, five more feet?" He tripped soon after saying that, making the torch fall into a puddle.
Weiss, Blake, and Yang facepalm at this while Jaune drop his head in shame. Can this book give him a break? It didn't need to show this part.
Pyrrha again wondered if Jaune was acting this clueless on purpose or was it all an act. Her father had warned her of the Arc's craftiness when it came to seducing women.
Weiss snorted. "Jaune? A seducer? He can't even flirt."
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult."
"Try both." Yang suggested.
She really didn't think Jaune was like that and he was the only other one in the whole school (except Potter) that didn't want to know her because of her fame.
'One of the reasons I like him.' Pyrrha thought in her head, looking at Jaune.
And she was curious as to why his Aura hadn't been unlocked before now. Surely his parents should have unlocked it when he was about nine or ten. Yet his wasn't. Why?
Everyone turn to Jaune, making him groan before admitting it. "My parents didn't wanted me to become a hunter, so they didn't do it." That explains it.
"Then how did they agree to let you come into Beacon?" Weiss asked him. The only answer she got was Jaune turning his head away. "Hey! Answer me!"
"Weiss." Harry said, a certain tone in his voice that made Weiss flinch a little. "I think that is something Jaune don't want to tell. So how about you stop trying to force it out of him?" Weiss got the courage to glare at him, not wanting to back down. The two stare off at one another before Weiss slump in her seat.
Hermione and Ron look at one another. Harry develop the ability to force others to stop an argument during his time as a secret DADA teacher. It's certainly coming in handy. Meanwhile, Jaune gave Harry an appreciative smile, who gave one back to him.
As Jaune picked himself up, Pyrrha noticed something else wrong with this cave. "Do you feel something?" she asked.
"Soul crushing regret?" he asked morbidly.
"No," Pyrrha said. "It feels…warm."
They walked a few more feet and noticed a light. They moved closer and saw it was imitating from a large object hanging above them. Jaune brightened.
"Don't touch it!" Jaune exclaimed, forgetting the other couldn't hear him. How on earth did he think that was a relic at the time?
"That's the relic!" he exclaimed. He carefully reached out to grab it, but instantly lurched out of reach. "Hey!" He tried to grab it, but it kept moving out of reach.
"Um, Jaune?" Pyrrha cautioned, but he didn't listen as he finally grabbed hold of the "relic." Slowly, he was lifted up and came face to face with several beady red eyes.
He screamed.
With Yang and Blake
Yang heard a scream and whirled around. "Some girl's in trouble!"
Jaune blush while everyone laughed, especially Yang. "No way. You were the girl that scream?" Yang laughed out, tears in her eyes.
"You wouldn't in my position?" Jaune said weakly, but it was a weak argument since Yang wouldn't scream in fear of seeing it. Most likely, she would punch the thing in the eye.
With Harry and the others
Harry waved his wand, and instantly the rocks barring his path moved out of his way. Lily was still in awe at his power. She had never imagined some of the things she saw Harry do with his Aura.
"Not aura, magic." Hermione corrected. "And you can do much more than that with it, if utilize correctly."
"I like forward to seeing it." Glynda replied, wondering how much wizards and witches can surpass hunters and huntresses. Or how much Harry can.
She also was worried since his arm wasn't getting any better. Normally, Aura would help stop the bleeding of major wounds and even try to heal the wound. But Harry's wound was still as grizzly as when he forcefully pulled his arm out of a Death Eater's mouth. She was worried that the Death Eater's venom was affecting his Aura healing, but she knew that wasn't the case. Death Eater venom incapacitates the victim within three minutes of biting, anaphylactic shock within five, and finally lung and heart failure in ten.
Harry was still alive and kicking. It had been perhaps five minutes since he stupidly stuck his arm out of the giant spider Grimm, but he wasn't even slowing down! "Not like it's the first time I've been bitten by a highly venomous animal," is what he said. Just what bit him that he could have such a high resistance to one of the most venomous monsters in the world?
The hunters and huntresses look at him for answers. "It's probably in the book." He told them. "If it isn't, I'll tell you guys what the animal/monster was the bit me."
The seem to satisfy most of them, though some like Weiss look like they want to insist on the matter. Luckily for Harry, Glynda and Hermione gave them stares that says to be quiet.
Hermione gave Glynda a smile of thanks to Glynda for helping her, to which the professor replied back with a nod.
Harry stopped in the middle of the tunnel and turned to the only source of light in the blacked area. Lily looked as well. The light streaming from the hole they fell through was a Godsend to the redhead. She was forced to cover her eyes as they adjusted to the change in light.
The others walked out of the enclave, alert and ready for anything. Lily looked back to them and saw Summer bringing up the rear, grumbling something inaudibly. She turned hissed at the light. "Damn, that's bright," she complained. "I don't remember light being that bright."
"Happens when you stay in the dark for too long." Nora said. "I should know. I've done it before, sleeping inside a cave with a giant bear for company."
"She'd stay in the blanket for two hours with her teddy bear." Ren corrected Nora for the others. Harry and Hermione look at Ren, silently asking if that was normal. Ren replied by with a nod.
Lily had almost forgotten that the older Huntress had been down here close to eleven years. "Don't worry, ma'am," she assured. "Your eyes will adjust eventually."
"If I don't go blind first," she grumbled. "Why haven't the Death Eaters fixed the hole yet? They usually fix it immediately after someone falls in."
"That's because it's a trap," Harry said aloofly.
"Good instincts." Ozpin said with a nod. Most hunters and huntresses forget that the more ancient Grimms, along with humans and faunus, can set up traps.
The four tensed as they heard the loud footsteps of the Death Eaters resounding through the tunnel. They're eyes widened as they began to make out the unmistakable outlines of Death Eaters in the darkness. Lily abruptly turned to their exit, and saw Death Eaters galore surrounding the circle of light.
Ron didn't even bother to scream. He immediately jump behind the couch, shaking badly. "Is he always like this?" Blake asked while Yang and Ruby have their eyes glued on the screen.
"Ever since he was a kid." Harry and Hermione said simultaneously. They are used to Ron reacting like that when he sees a spider.
Looking up, she saw several more standing on the ceiling, guarding their exit. A glint in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She looked towards it, and her eyes widened. "Harry," she breathed, pointing at the object.
He looked to her and saw her pointing. He followed her gaze and what he saw made him smile. "Perfect," he grinned as the tip of his wand glowed. To the others, he ordered, "Cover your eyes. When I say 'run,' make for where the hole is situated."
"What about you?" Adam asked.
"I'm going to give this things something to remember me by," he said, not breaking his stare with the Death Eater in front of him.
"Those things are dead." Hermione stated, like it was a fact. The only thing those two can agree on is that you do not mess with Harry Potter. You either get a smack down or end up dead.
"Now get ready…"
"Hold it!" Summer called. "I'm going to help you."
Harry turned to glare at her, but she didn't back down. He sighed. "Fine. But when I tell you to bolt, you best be running. We've only got one shot at this."
Ruby and Yang looked worried and conflicted. On one hand, they don't want Harry to handle all those things alone, even if he's strong enough to handle them. But on the other hand, they don't want their mom to risk death when there's a chance that she might come back to the alternate selves' lives.
Summer was wondering how he intended to get them out of this hellhole, but she decided to stay quiet and find out. "Right."
Harry nodded and looked back at the spider Grimm. "Cover your eyes! LUMOS MAXIMA!" he shouted, and light flooded the tunnel, temporarily blinding the Grimm. "RUN!"
Adam, Isabella, and Lily (though she was rather reluctant to leave her partner behind) ran for the circle of light. Harry bolted forward with a cry of "Expelliramus!" followed by several other spells. Summer opened her eyes and charged towards the nearest Death Eater, her scimitar at the ready. She slashed at the Grimm just under its jaw, and sent the beast's head flying up from the force.
However, it also caused her scimitar to shatter. Her eyes widened in dismay. "Shit!"
"Run!" Yang and Ruby shouted. Their mom will be toast without her weapon!
Harry turned to her and grimaced. He grabbed Hunter's Moon and threw it at Summer. "Use that!"
She reacted quickly and grabbed the sword out of the air, twirling around and slicing the Death Eater's head in two. She stared at the blade. It felt awkward in her hands, mainly because of the personalized grip, but it would have to do. She let out a battle cry and charged another Grimm.
The two of them sigh in relief at that. Nobody question or told a joke about how they're reacting. If it was someone they cared about fighting on here, they would most likely react the same way.
That, and Ron is too scared to say anything right now..
Harry was slinging spells around at anything that moved and didn't have a sword swinging. He ducked under a Death Eaters leg as it flew towards him and pointed his wand at a Death Eater. "Expluso!" he shouted and the Death Eater exploded in a mess of blood and guts.
"Harry!" Harry turned and saw Lily, Adam, and Isabella were surrounded by Death Eaters and struggling to keep their ground. He turned to Summer and saw her tiring out quickly. He cursed.
Well, now or never. He swung his wand in a wide arc and screamed, "FIENDFYRE!"
The cursed fire sprang from his wand. The blackened flames spread across the expanse between the two groups, immediately setting several Death Eaters ablaze. The flames went full circle and encircled Summer and Harry, igniting more Grimm and illuminating the entire tunnel.
Ron and Hermione's eyes widen at seeing this. "When did you learn that?!" Hermione exclaimed. "And why?! That is dark magic! Something dark wizards use!"
Before Harry could defend himself, Yang decided to defend him. "Well it saved his team and our mom." Yang pointed out. "I don't care if it's dark, as long as it use against our enemy."
But those who uses are dark wizard-"
"So you're telling us that Harry is dark wizard?" Ozpin interjected. Hermione's eyes widen before turning to Harry. She wince at his darkening expression, remembering that Harry was accused of being a dark wizard several times. "A gun or a blade can be as dangerous as the so called, 'dark' magic. It can hurt anyone that is used against. But like any other weapon, it can be use to help or defend someone else."
"But, but…." Hermione stuttered, having a hard time accepting it. She had been taught, albeit for a shorter time than purebloods, that spells like those are dark magic and use by dark wizards. But Harry isn't a dark wizard, far from it.
It might take her a bit of time to accept it. But she wince when Harry turn away from her with a darkened expression. She knew how hard it is for Harry to trust, especially now. She and Ron didn't help that matter back then, with Hermione telling Mcgonagall about the Firebolt without speaking to Harry about it and Ron being against Harry during the triwizard tournament. She just hope he doesn't stay angry with her for the remainder of the book.
Everyone stared in awe at the flames, but then they saw something shocked the hell out them, even Harry.
The flames converged and formed a corporal image of an animal. Harry wasn't surprised, as the knowledge Sirius had passed to him told him that Fiendfyre did form large spirits of fire, but the animal was what surprised him. From Sirius's knowledge of the spell, Fiendfyre usually took the form of snakes mostly. Birds in some cases. This animal was neither.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione's eyes widen when they saw what it was. "Prong." Harry breathed out.
The hunters and huntresses are also amaze, but were confused as to who they're talking about. "Who's prong?" Jaune asked them.
Harry semi-answered. "I'm sure it will be answered in the book."
"Either way, that is amazing." Ruby said in awe, drooling a little. Who know such a little stick could hold that much powerful? It's not a flashy weapon, but it's still powerful.
It was Prongs. His Patronus was now the size of the biggest Death Eater (which stood about the size of a two story house) and made entirely of the curse fire. The massive stag stared at Harry for a moment and nodded his way.
Harry was stunned for a moment. However, his shock wore off and he grinned. This worked out even better for him! He motioned towards the Death Eaters with his head. "Sic 'em!" he commanded.
That prompted cheers from Ron, Jaune, Yang, Ruby, and Nora. "Break their legs!" Nora cheered, pumping her fist. Break all eight of those freaks' legs!"
Prongs nodded and turned to the nearest Grimm. He charged, antlers at the ready. The antlers pierced the large spider, and Prongs thrust his head up, sending the Death Eater into the wall. He bucked at a Death Eater behind him, and pranced around the area, attacking any Grimm unlucky enough to get in his way.
"This is amazing." Glynda breathed in awe. She can see that Harry exceeds the skills of most, if not all, hunters. How on earth didn't he got into Beacon earlier, if Ms. Rose is in Beacon at age fifteen?!
Harry grinned wider. He turned and grabbed Summer's arm and asked rather happily, "Well, I think we overstayed our welcome, don't ya think?!" He pulled her behind him and shouted the others, "Hey! When I give the signal, jump as high as you can!"
The group, who had to fight off Death Eaters from behind him, looked at him simultaneously and shouted, "Huh?!"
"Trust me!" he shouted back. He pointed his wand at some roots that had been displaced when the Death Eaters created the hole. "Accio Firebolt!"
In any other day, Ruby and Yang would've been focused on the broom. But right now, they're focused on their mom. "Come on, come on." The two muttered, eyes closed and both of their hands with crossed fingers. Sisters indeed.
His prized racing broom quickly dislodged from its resting place in the roots and raced to Harry. Harry pulled Summer along as he ran towards it. A Death Eater tried to block their way, but the fiery Prongs rammed into it, sending it off course. The Firebolt rocketed over the cursed flames and flew straight at Harry.
He moved to the side slightly and grabbed the broomstick with his free hand when it flew past him. Using the superior strength he gained as a Faunus and training for two years, he hauled Summer and himself onto the broomstick. Once he was situated and ordered Summer to hold on, he took off.
Summer Rose-Xiao Long considered herself an expert on all things weird. It was why she didn't question a lot of things. Like how Death Eaters could tunnel under the continent of Vale for so long and no one know it. How Harry's attacks seemed to not be Aura, or at least not a pure form of Aura. Or how freaking fire can form itself into a corporal stag. But riding on a broomstick? She would admit: that impressed her.
She didn't see that one coming.
"Neither did we." Pyrrha admitted, and she thought she was use to seeing weird stuff. But seeing a flying broom prove her wrong.
Ozpin turn to the wizards and witches in amusement. "You magic users are amusing."
"You have no idea." Harry and Hermione said dryly, looking at a cowering Ron. He really doesn't have any idea how amusing they magic users can be.
And the ride itself was nothing short of amazing. As soon as her arms locked around Harry's waist, the wind rushed by her. She was in awe at how they sped up so fast. She liked fast.
Harry made a fast U-turn and rushed towards the others. "Now! JUMP!" The three did as they were told and reinforced their legs with Aura and jumped as high as they could. Harry raced towards them and was a few feet from them when he point his wand at them and shouted, "Alarte Ascendare!"
Isabella, Lily, and Adam suddenly felt themselves flying towards the hole, as if they had been thrown. Harry angled upward and soared after them. He reached them, and they all soared towards their exit. They were almost there when two more Death Eaters appeared on either side of the hole, reading to grab them. One even moved to block their path.
They all raised their eyebrows. They were going to crash into the Grimm. Harry, however, growled angrily at the beast. He couldn't use many of his deadlier spells or curses because he risked hurting his friends or knocking them back into the darkness with the other Death Eaters. Even the lighter spells he knew he didn't think would harm the armored Grimm.
But he had to try something! There had to be something he could use! Racking his brain, he could only come up with one spell. One that he was positive wouldn't work in this situation.
Though, he was using it against a soulless monster…
Hermione eyes widen in realization. "You're gonna use the patronus charm!" Hermione said to Harry. The boy didn't look at her, but did nodded. Hermione wince, knowing that he's still a bit angry with her.
"The what charm?" Yang asked in confusion.
"You're gonna see soon." Hermione replied. "Just know that it might be an effective move against the Grimm." Everyone pay attention wondering how it will be effective.
He concentrated hard on his spell, gathering his magic energy for it. He would only get one shot at this, so he wanted it to count. A memory came to the forefront of his mind, and he smiled happily before he turned to glare at the Death Eater.
Only he didn't see a giant armored spider. He saw something else. One of the many monsters he had faced in his extremely long and excessively short life. The only one that truly scared him…
'Dementors.' Harry and Hermione thought at the same time. The only thing he feared was fear itself. Nothing else compared to those soul sucking monsters.
Jaune turn to Harry in a bit of shock. "What could be worse than these things?" Everyone turn to them, wondering the same thing as well, but Harry shook his head at them. They are lucky dementors doesn't exist in their world, he don't want to even talk about those things if he can help it.
With a shout that his four companions would not soon forget, Harry thrust his wand forward (not bothering with the proper wand motion), and screamed:
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
With Ozpin and Glynda
As they waited for the remaining students, a loud explosion caught Ozpin's and Glynda's attention. They looked to see a large dust cloud in the southwest portion of the forest. Their eyes widened as a large, silvery stag burst from the cloud, an equally large Grimm flailing on its antlers. The stag swung its head and the Grimm slid off its horns and hovered above the massive stag.
All of the hunters' and huntresses' eyes widen, with Harry and Hermione shocked as well. "Wow." Ruby whispered, in awe of the stag. It's like something out of a story book.
'How much power does that boy hold?' Ozpin and Glynda at the same time, shocked beyond all belief. Ozpin drop his coffee onto the ground while Glynda's glasses nearly slid off her face.
'Harry is stronger than any other wizard!' Hermione thought in shock in her head. If Harry can make a Patronus that big at age seventeen, then that shows how powerful he really is. Or can be.
'Fight, fight, fight.' Was the ongoing thought of Yang, Nora, and surprisingly, Pyrrha. They really want to test their skills against Harry.
With Yang and Blake
Yang and Blake were wondering what to do about the "girl" that they assumed was in trouble when the explosion rocked the ground. They looked around and their eyes widened when a silvery stag shot out of a dust cloud with a Grimm on its antlers. Yang looked at Blake in astonishment.
"What the hell is that?!" she asked loudly.
"I…" Blake was at a loss for words. "I don't know…"
"A powerful hunter." Blake murmured, looking at Harry. She's really starting to admire Harry, with all the power he holds. He can face off the against even the strongest of hunters and huntresses.
"Also, another weird thing added in the initiation." Yang added with fake cheerfulness, knowing that her other is going to freak out even more with this added weirdness.
Well, unless mom comes right before her other freaks out.
Ron slowly crawl up from his spot behind the seat before sitting back down with a sigh in relief. Harry and Hermione look at his friend in amusement. Even now, Ron didn't got over his fear of spiders.
With Ruby and Weiss
"Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!"
"We're fine! Stop worrying!"
"I'm so beyond worrying!"
"…In a good way?!"
Blake, Yang, Hermione, Ren, and Pyrrha look at Ruby in disbelief. Said girl is hiding in her cloak with an embarrassed blush on her face. "You really thought it was in a good way sis?" Yang deadpanned.
"Well, I wanted to find a bright side." Ruby muttered. Glynda shook her head, especially at the fact that this girl and Ms. Schnee rode a Nevermore, while Ozpin chuckled.
Weiss was about to retort angrily when something caught her attention. Her eyes widened as a silver stag shot into the air with a large Grimm stuck on its antlers. 'Prongs!' she thought in amazement.
"What's that?!" Ruby exclaimed.
Weiss turned and grinned at Ruby. "Harry."
"So my other seen it before?" Weiss asked, mainly to herself. She got to admit, it's really is beautiful. Though the grin on her other self's face looks very foreign, even to her.
Back with Ozpin and Glynda
Ozpin and Glynda were in shock at the display, so shocked that they couldn't form any words. Ozpin dropped his coffee mug, spilling its contents across the ground. Glynda's glasses almost slipped off her head, but she quickly realized this and pushed her glasses back up.
"Yes, that would how we would react." Ozpin said with an amuse chuckle, knowing that they did the same thing.
Ozpin shook off his shock quickly and opened his Scroll. "Get me feed from the area now!" he ordered over the speaker. Something was happening from that sector; the very sector his four missing students had been. He wanted to know what was going on now.
Luckily, Professor Peach was able to turn the cameras to the location. Ozpin and Glynda watched as five silhouettes flew from the ground and out of the dust cloud.
Everyone is on their toes, especially Ruby and Yang. Are they all going to get of their? Or is something gonna block their escape once again?
With Harry and the others
Adam exited the hole first.
He reacted quickly and motioned himself towards solid ground, falling into a roll as he made contact. Lily shot out next. She was disoriented for a second, but quickly corrected and motioned herself towards the ground. She landed on her hands and quickly flipped onto her feet. Isabella shot out a little after Lily. She was a bit further from the edge, but Adam was able to grab her and pull her away from the hole.
"Got ya," he told her.
She landed next to Adam. "Thank you," she thanked him as Harry and Summer shot out of the hole. Harry angled his broomstick for the forest and shot towards it. However, it seemed his last attack wore him out slightly, and he and Summer crashed to the ground, the broomstick rolling towards Lily as Summer and Harry rolled across the ground.
Harry hit a tree and groaned as it impacted his back. "Harry!" Lily called out and ran to help him.
Harry wince and groan, holding his back, causing Hermione and Ron to look at him in concern. "You okay there mate?" Ron asked him.
The boy nodded, though he still look a bit pained. "I'm fine Ron. Let just get back to the story." The two nodded and pay attention to the story.
"I'm fine," he grunted. He picked himself and stood up, holding his head. Crap, that last attack had drained him quite a bit. He hadn't felt magically drained in a long time. It was mainly because he had not been using his magic for such an extended period of time, but it was mute at the point.
"Oh come on." Harry groaned, feeling the magic drain out of them. Did they have to mention how exhausted his other is? Well, at least he isn't completely drained.
Honestly, he felt great, despite everything. He had forgotten what it was like to use magic. It felt amazing to call upon it again. Not to mention it was worth it to see Prongs again.
Meanwhile, Summer was groaning in pain. The light of the sun had been unbearable when she was still in the Death Eaters' tunnels, migraine inducing when she was flying up out of the hole Harry and his friends made, and now…it was drop dead painful. Everything was an unidentifiable blur. Black spots flooded her vision and seemed to pulse, furthering her pain.
Blake, Weiss, and everyone else look at Ruby and Yang, wondering what their reaction will be. However, the two just seem frozen, like they aren't seeing what is being shown.
"Do you think the two will be okay?" Glynda murmured in concern. Who know how those two are feeling, with their alternate selves' mother being alive while theirs are still dead.
"I believe so." Ozpin said, not showing any kind of concern. "They might feel a bit of envy or jealousy, but in the end, the two will be happy for their others." Ruby and Yang, especially Ruby, are just those kind of people.
"Hey, you okay?" Harry's voice broke through her pain. "Hold on. I think I can help." He began to murmur something, and Summer felt her headache ease. Her vision began clearing up, and she found herself looking at something green. Grass?
She looked up and saw Harry looking at her in concern. For the first time, it struck her at how green his eyes were. Like pools of crystalized green flames. He was a Faunus, that much she had gathered in the tunnels; but now that her vision had cleared, she was shocked at how handsome he really was.
Weiss and Blake were both surprise and yet not surprise that Yang didn't make a joke about it. It's surprising since Yang always makes a joke, but not that surprising since she's frozen right now.
Weiss and Blake look at one another, silently agreeing to one thing. Harry better prepare himself for a tight hug when they unfreeze.
Suddenly, it hit her all at once. She stood slowly, looking at the tall trees of the Emerald Forest. The sounds of birds singing and crickets chirping was a welcoming contrast to the horribly silent tunnels she had been forced to live in for eleven years. She turned her gaze upward and watched as white, fluffy clouds glided lazily across a beautiful blue sky.
"I…" Summer whispered. "I…I'm out. I'm out." Looking back to the hole again for a moment, she said, "I'm…I got out."
A scoff reached her ears. "Of course you're out of that hellhole," a sarcastic voice said. "What? Did you expect me to lie?" She whirled around and saw Harry smirking at her. Her lips trembled as a true, genuine smile (one she had not smiled in many years) made its way across her face and she jumped forward and tackled/hugged Harry.
"Ack!"
"THANK YOU!" she shouted happily. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She continued shouting this for a while. She was out of Hell! She had escaped Hell! And it was all because of a stubborn little idiot!
That broke the two out of their frozen spells. In an instant, Ruby speed over to Harry with and tackle him in a bear hug, surprising the boy. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ruby squealed, tears of happiness in her eyes. Sure, her mom isn't alive in her dimension, but let her other self have a mother once again.
Harry, after getting out of his shock, laughed a little. "I didn't really do anything. My other did."
"But you and the other Harry are exactly the same! So I need to say thank you!" Ruby squealed once again. Several people smile at the girl, understanding why she's happy. Though they all wonder if she feels a bit of envy for her other.
Yang smile was the biggest. Once they get a break from the story, she will also thank herself. She and her sis may be alike in some things, but tackling people in a hug isn't her style. Especially since she might crush someone with that tackle.
"This boy is a miracle worker." Glynda muttered in awe. "Not only did he change the Schnee Dust Company's views on faunus, but he saved Summer from one of the most vicious Grimms known in legends."
Ozpin nodded, folding his hands together in thought. "Which makes me wonder, what else will he achieve?"
Hermione, meanwhile, shook her head with a small smile. 'Only you Harry.' Only he can stir up this much drama around him.
"Come on sis, let's get back to reading." Yang called out to her sister. Ruby look reluctant to leave the hug she's giving the boy, but she did so and sat back down with her team.
"Hey! Ow! Stop that! You're crushing me!" he complained, but his laughing showed he wasn't in distress. He was glad he could help her out. No one should live in darkness for so long with only spiders as company (though the ones she roomed with were larger and way more vicious than the ones he shared a cupboard with).
That wiped out any amusement Hermione felt and was replaced with rage. "What?!" Hermione shouted, furious. She quickly turn to Harry with an angry expression. "Your relatives makes you go inside a cupboard?!"
Harry, momentarily forgetting that he was angry at Hermione, look away. "Harry…." Hermione growled, wanting answers from him. Everyone else want answers as well.
"...It was my room before I turn eleven." Harry admitted quietly. "And they didn't gave me a bigger room out of the kindness of their hearts." That cause several reactions.
Hermione turn red in anger, a few plates of food flying out of the table due to accidental magic. Those bastards! First they make him cook for them and now they had gave him a cupboard for a room?!
Ron is also angry as well, mix in with a little guilt. He always suspected that Harry gets the good things in life, and sometimes get jealous, but hearing that he had to sleep in someplace that wasn't even the room made him that small sliver of guilt. Hopefully, it doesn't get as bad as that. Right?
Team RWBY, JNPR, and the professors are shock, as well as angry. How can somebody put their own blood in those kinds of conditions?
"Can we please go back to reading?" Harry pleaded, not wanting to talk about this more. Glynda, out of respect for the boy, agreed and continue reading to get attention off of him.
The others were laughing with them, clearing enjoying life. Why wouldn't they? They just survived a horde of Death Eaters, the most scarcely seen and one of the most deadly Grimm on the planet! They might as well be legends now!
'Agreed.' Was the thoughts of all the hunters and huntresses, though most of them are still focus on what Harry revealed about his past. Some thought about asking him, but even Ruby know not to ask about something that clearly discomfort someone. And that info discomforts Harry.
Their celebration was cut short, however, when the ground around the hole began breaking up! Adam, Lily, and Isabella, being the closest to the hole, reacted quickly and rolled to safety, running towards Summer and Harry to regroup.
"Oh come on!" Was the shouts of all the teenagers. Seriously, can't those things give up?!
Ozpin sighed. "I should've known that would've been too easy." Glynda nodded in agreement to that. Grimms don't give up that easily, especially when sensing a large amount of negative emotion. And especially when angered.
A large Death Eater, much, MUCH bigger than the others they faced forced itself out of the earth. The four Huntsmen-in-training stared at the behemoth, scared out of their wits. It was on old Grimm, they could tell. Most of its body was covered think bone armor, with only the underbelly and its joints being uncovered. The Grimm's bones were scratched up badly, giving the beast an even more ferocious look to it. And the most usual thing that Adam noticed was a rusty scimitar was sticking out of one of its eight eyes.
Ron didn't jump behind the seat this time. This time, he yelped and then fainted on the floor. Nobody notices him right now, too focus on the giant Grimm in front of the team.
"Oh….shit." Well said Yang. Well said.
Harry groan, facepalming. "Not even my other can get a break." Harry muttered with a muffled voice. Hermione nodded in agreement, pale in worry for the both Harrys. Cause any damage the other Harry takes will be transferred to Harry himself.
"...Run for your fucking lives!" Jaune and Nora screamed at the same time.
Summer blinked at the massive Grimm and grinned slightly. "Oh, hey! It's Sparky!" she said cheerfully.
"Sparky?!" Everyone screamed at the same time. Who the fuck name a creature, especially something like this, SPARKY?!
Weiss turn to Ruby and Yang with a blank look. "Please tell me you don't name the monster face."
"No!"
"I'm a thrill seeker, not crazy!"
"Good." Weiss said with a satisfactory nod. At least they didn't inherit that from their mother. Harry and Hermione, meanwhile, calmed down, seeing that the woman is hiding her fear. They've been hanging out with a guy who has arachnophobia for five years, you don't do that and recognize the signs.
Still, they can't blame anyone if they faint at the site of this, even if that someone has a fear of spiders. They're scared too. It's bigger than Aragog, in Harry's opinion.
The four teens looked at her in horror. "Sparky?!" they screamed. She NAMED this beast SPARKY?!
"I know!" Jaune cried out, pulling his hair. "Not even Nora would do that!"
"Damn straight!" Nora said with a firm nod. She didn't went that psycho yet. Key word, yet.
"Yeah! He's the first Death Eater I met when I fell into the tunnels! Can't you tell?! My scimitar is stuck in his eye!" she continued, still sounding very cheerful, though Harry could tell she was hiding unbridled fear. Just like back in the tunnels. You didn't become good friends with a guy who was terribly afraid of spiders and not recognize the signs.
That cause everyone turn to the redhead, who is slightly frothing in the mouth. "Um, is he gonna be okay?" Pyrrha asked, slightly concerned for the boy.
"Yeah. Just give a couple minutes. Maybe half an hour." Harry and Hermione said with a sigh. They saw this happen when the Weasley twins pranked Ron by showing him a picture of a giant acromantula on the Hogwarts Hall. Several first years and second years, also Ron, fainted that day.
Still, he was terrified too. This thing was bigger than Aragog! "So, uh, what do we do?" Harry asked.
"The only thing we can do, silly boy!" Summer giggled. She turned and raced through the forest. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"Don't need to tell me twice!" Isabella screamed and bolted after Summer.
Lily, Adam, and Harry looked at each other. They nodded in synchronization and ran after Summer and Isabella. Sparky had finally pulled its body free of the earth and raced after them, intent on killing its perceived prey.
"Run faster!" Jaune, Nora, Yang, Ruby, and surprisingly Blake, screamed at the screen.
"So, this initiation got a lot more interesting for our other selves." Ozpin sighed as he grabbed his mug from the floor, pouring another cup of coffee. He have to thank Spirit for getting the special brand he usually buys.
"Indeed." Glynda said with a nod. She and Ozpin saw the two teams in this room fight a Death Stalker and Nevermore. Not only will they see that, but they'll also see Harry's team fight a Death Eater, a powerful Grimm known in legends.
