Hey people. Thanks for your reviews. Really appreciated. :) I got over 25 but not 40 so here's the chapter I promised. It's not what you'd call very good, because it doesn't really have a meaning. It's mainly just some Siylas/Elmer bonding and information about the two.
I need a new disclaimer due to the fact that I'm using MPD/DID now:
Disclaimer: All Places, Objects, Idea's, Spells, Characters and anything else from the Harry Potter series, belong to the wonderful J K Rowling. I own nothing. I did not invent MPD/DID. MPD/DID is dedicated to a friend who may have this distressing case. It was him I was thinking about when the idea of mixing MPD/DID in Realizations. Names of the Alters come from a name website where I looked up names for personalities. I had the choice of Siylas or Selth so I asked my friends and the majority said Siylas (whilst thinking I was a complete lunatic). I did the same with Elmer and Gerald and the majority decided Elmer.
Please note: I'm really sorry for all this confusion but for certain reasons that I did not expect to arise, I have had to change the name Siylas back to Selth. Trust me; I was not copying anything. My disclaimer explains it all.
On with Chapter 14...
Chapter 14
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Elmer walked out of his room glaring even though he knew Selth couldn't see him because he was still Out.
"That was not what I was about to say. YOU had no right to push me back in!"
"I know that was not what you were about to say and we couldn't afford Harry in that much trouble. You need to understand, that when you are Out you need to keep a low profile to minimize the risks of being found out. I had every right to come Out and push you back in, because you were risking out exposure." Selth sighed, coming back in, hoping Harry wouldn't have too much stick out there.
"I'm here for Harry as well! Stop acting as though you're in charge, 'cos you're not. Harry created me just like he created you, equally. Just as he created Deacon, equally. Just as he created Boy, equally. Just as he created Sam EQUALLY!" he was shouting now, "Even Damian," Elmer finished in a hushed voice. "We may be the only ones able to come into this area, but you can't tell me what I can and can't do."
"WE need someone with maturity to be in charge here! As I said before, and you agree with me, there is no adult to confide into that would not pity us or tell others. So, as you seemed determined to be the immature attention–seeking brat, what we really do not need right now, I'm taking charge." Selth sneered.
Elmer sighed. He was being a bit of a prat. "I'm sorry," he said a little roughly. "I will improve," Selth sniffed at that, "I hope we can both just get over our differences and move on." Elmer secretly wished that one day Selth would come to respect him. "Let's go over the options on what teachers we can tell or not tell."
Selth sighed heavily. "We've been over his already." He was annoyed at Elmer for starting this conversation. He'd much rather be alone on this case. He hated Elmer's constant idea's and opinions. They were unnecessary. Not needed. Selth knew Elmer did have that right but it didn't mean he had to like it. Selth deep down hoped that one day Elmer and he would be able to get along and that Elmer would someday respect him. It was that… or he'd preferably be his own.
Selth was the unsociable type. Quiet, no noise and unfriendly. Truth be told it was more of a defence mechanism. This strategy for protection had been used so many times, it had becomes Selth' Alter personality. Selth didn't mind though. He liked it this way. He preferred it this way. Selth' prime reasoning to existing was to protect Harry. And from Selth' point of view, this was the way about it. Selth was serious, confident and only cared about himself and Harry. He was 15 years old and was extremely clever due to all the reading he did in the library's at night whilst Harry was sleeping when it was his turn in his and Elmer's rota. Selth respected the ones he trusted, but Selth trusted no one but himself at this moment in time and Elmer was desperate for that to change. Selth was Harry's Slytherin side, expanded. He was cunning, wise and always pre-planned before getting into things unlike Elmer. Overall, Selth was a lonely Alter for Harry.
Selth was tall and thin but not lanky. His hair was short and black and his eyes were a pale grey with hints of blue. He had very pale skin. To be honest, Selth looked like Tom Riddle from his school days but he or Elmer would never mention that out loud.
"I know we've been through it. Let's- let's just go over it again." Elmer tried.
"Very well," Selth relented, rubbing his forehead. Elmer smiled.
"Professor McGonagall." Elmer stated waiting for Selth to start his disapproval reasoning.
"No. She will go straight to Dumbledore. And I don't trust Dumbledore. Also not to mention the amount of pity we would get from her," Selth said in disgust.
"I don't trust Dumbledore either. He's out of the question."
"Why don't you trust the headmaster?" Selth asked curiously.
"For the same reasons you don't, I guess," Elmer replied shrugging.
"Lupin could have been a possibility…" Elmer continued.
"No." Selth said immediately. "We move on. We've lost an adult, we do not linger on him. We need to think realistically. What's done is done."
"Yeah. Yeah. What about Pomphrey," he continued quickly when Selth opened his mouth for a retort. "She's a nurse, firstly, and she has got a magical contract binding healer and patient. Meaning," he spoke louder when Selth looked as though he was going to interfere, "That she cannot expose out case without permission."
"And at the same time, we would have to endure a hell of a lot of pity. You know how I hate pity! You may soak attention like a biscuit dipped in tea but I'd rather not. Also wouldn't it be strange, from other people's point of view, us going to her every day for this case, you know she won't be off out backs, admit it, out case is fascinating to others. People would get suspicious and knowing Dumbledore he would confront Pomphrey. And even IF she couldn't tell because of the magical bind, Dumbledore, as much as I hate to admit, is a powerful wizard and he would penetrate her mind until he got information." Selth took a breath and continued. "This is the thing about people. What is the most important thing to someone and nothing to anyone else?"
"I dunno."
"It was a rhetorical question Elmer." Selth rolled his eyes. "It's one's mind. It's an ordinary normal thing in life that matters only to the owner of the mind. No one cares about another average mentality. That's why people would be so interested to see such a warped mind. Its true Elmer, out mind is distorted, and nobody would care about out feelings towards it. It's an even bigger deal because this is 'Famous Harry Potter'. We need someone who would not pity us and not care, but help and know how to solve this problem anyway." Selth fell silent and waited for Elmer's explosion on not needing long explanations. It didn't come.
"You're right Selth. But that's where our problem lies. There's no one like that." Elmer couldn't be bothered to get into a petty argument with Selth.
"So we just keep it to ourselves," Selth replied, impressed at Elmer's maturity.
"I guess Trelawney is our last option," Elmer said in a serious tone.
"Oh yes, her constant reminding of the Grim and that we are to die will surely piece our mind back together." Selth said sarcastically, but his eyes told Elmer that he was joking as well.
They both looked at each other and shared a half smile. Elmer felt satisfied inside. He and Selth were making progress.
"Snape. He fits the description we want," Selth said suddenly after a few more moments of silence.
"He'll tell Dumbledore." Elmer said straight away.
"He's Slytherin. If I speak to him…" Selth tried with that evil glint in his eye.
"No," Elmer said shaking his head hard, "I know you don't like the pity and neither do I really, but Snape? That's going a bit far. C'mon Selth. He hates us. Well Harry – he doesn't know us. Let's say we told Snape. Everything. What if he understands and we trust him, but then on a day when he's got a bad temper he, even if it is by accident, uses it against us in class? We're doomed then aren't we?"
Selth kept quiet, thinking deeply, unwilling to accept defeat "Fine. But if there comes a desperate time to tell a teacher, it will be him."
"Maybe," Elmer smiled, "Man, I'm tired. I'm going to bed."
"No. You have to stay awake and keep an eye on Harry just in case he needs you. You started this mess."
"You most certainly did not help!" Elmer cried indignity.
"I hate it out there; unlike you," Selth stated.
"Why?"
"None of your business." Selth snapped. At Elmer's confused expression he sighed. "It's horrible. Loud. Cruel and nasty. I can't see how Harry lives there. I only go Out when I need to. So should you. I'm going to my room – call me if I'm needed." Selth went to his room leaving a very annoyed Elmer sitting on the couch behind. Elmer could tell that was not the whole reason. It would take time for Selth to realise that he could be trusted. Still, he would not give up.
Elmer was 15 years old and was Harry's main Gryffindor side. He was brave, loyal, not very easy going, trustworthy and appreciated friendship unlike Selth. Elmer always lashed into things without thinking twice. He was loud and confident but he always felt he had to prove himself to people deep down, which boosted his danger prone self. Not that he didn't like it. Elmer loved getting into troublesome situations. Elmer was clever due to all the reading he did in the library at night whilst Harry was sleeping when it was his turn in his and Selth' rota. He had a thirst for learning new things.
Elmer was at a medium height and he was fit and healthy. His face was around the same as Harry's but it was slightly longer. Elmer had olive skin and darkish sparkling brown eyes with burgundy hair that was the same length as Harry's but lay flat and draped over his face. He had a sense of cool around him, but really Elmer felt quite tensed up inside. Selth didn't help that matter. Overall, Elmer was an Alter set out to prove himself and save others. He was the one, who took over when Harry's fame became a bit much. He likes attention, but he does not appreciate pity.
The area where the Alters stayed was very simple. There were seven rooms with closed doors and one large room in the middle with a large couch two big comfy chairs. The place was completely white, resembling innocence and purity. Selth and Elmer were the only two who came into the living room, just to watch from the large screen in front of the couch and chairs what was going on out in the reality of the world. The other Alters would come Out only when they were desperately needed, but apart from that, they would stay in their rooms. Elmer and Selth didn't quite understand why only they could come out into this central room. Whenever Harry would come back in, he would use the seventh room. He wasn't aware of this of course. Harry didn't' know anything about this case.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Harry was shocked by the amount of glares he was receiving by the Gryffindors and the weird glances from the Slytherins throughout Transfiguration. What had happened!? Harry felt like screaming. It seemed as though every time something important happened, his memory would rub out, leaving him on a blank page, all information gone, just the creases, the after effects, proving that something actually happened.
"Potter? Potter?!" McGonagall half yelled, concerned.
"Sorry... um... yes Professor?" Harry looked up meekly. It was when he looked around, and realised the whole class had already left the classroom.
"Are you alright?" You seem a little confused," she asked.
'You're telling me'. Harry sighed tiredly. "I... I'm fine Professor."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Honest."
"Very well. Do see Madam Pomphrey if you feel off colour," she sniffed.
"Yes Professor," Harry said automatically, walking out of the classroom.
The morning past fairly quickly for Harry, but he hadn't felt alone like this for over three years. It felt weird, walking up and down the corridors of Hogwarts, because it didn't feel like the home he used to feel. All the third year Gryffindors were completely ignoring him now. He had somehow managed to break ties with his friends. His memory blanks were truly worrying. What was he doing in between those periods? What if he was doing something dangerous?! What if he was unintentionally harming people?! By lunch time, Harry couldn't handle it anymore. He decided to take his housemistress' advice and go and see Madame Pomphrey.
Draco saw Harry walking on his own so he followed to see what the Gryffindor was up to. Harry walked towards the infirmary but then he stopped. Draco quickly hid behind the wall.
"Selth! He's going to see Pomphrey!" Elmer called out to Selth.
Selth came Out immediately and walked towards the Great Hall. Harry opened his eyes. How did he get here?? Frowning, Harry walked back towards the Infirmary.
"Selth!" Elmer called.
Selth, annoyed came Out again and moved back towards the Great Hall.
"What...the hell?" Draco whispered completely baffled. It was as though two people were inside Potter, alternating their destination. But that was absurd.
Someone didn't want him there; he knew it. Someone didn't want him to go to the Infirmary and get treated. But before Harry reached the Infirmary doors, a seriously annoyed Selth took over. Elmer decided to push Selth back in and come Out to let him calm down.
A brave, fiercer face seemed to take over, different to the confused one or the annoyed one. Potter strode into the Great Hall and had lunch. Draco decided to do the same. He would give Severus an update though on what he saw. It was most interesting. And most disturbing.
