Harry entered the common room and noticed all of Gryffindor house waiting for him to arrive. Harry sighed seeing this and frowned a moment. He moved to his favorite over-large armchair and plopped down into it. He looked over everyone and rubbed his face.
"Okay, I know you all want to know how I crossed the great hall with no problem. I will tell you the basics for now. One it was not dark magic but ancient lost magic. Two I will only attempt to teach a couple of people as I do not have the patience to try to teach most. One of those will be Hermione and if she can learn it she may teach it to any she wishes. Three I am not in trouble with most of the staff only our useless Defense teacher. Last the reason I know this ancient magic is I have remembered a past life. It is why I have physically been changing so much." Harry stated causing many of the house to start whispering to each other as Hermione practically pounces Harry in excitement.
"Yes please teach me!" Hermione cried out in pure excitement hugging onto Harry. Harry groaned at her reactions and rubbed his head a bit.
"Hermione calm down. I am going to have to translate my book into modern English first and that may take a bit. You also know my patience is very short. So if I start getting frustrated don't push me." Harry pointed out. Hermione nodded quickly as Harry smiled then looked at Ron and took a deep breath. "You are not upset I don't want to teach you this are you, Ron?"
"Not at all, Mate. I struggle with studying and as you have said you don't really have the patience. Hermione picks stuff up fast so she would be a great person to start teaching." Ron said strategically. Harry smiled at Ron relief flashing across his face.
"Thank you for the understanding, Ron. I really didn't want you to feel like I was leaving you out." Harry admitted as he shut his eyes. Ron laughed and shook his head.
"Just play a game with me once in a while and things will be fine." Ron pointed out with a laugh. Harry grinned and nodded with a chuckle. He shut his eyes then stood and moved towards the dorm room. Hermione watched as he headed up the stairs soon to come back down holding the ancient book and some parchment.
"Hermione, would you rather I start translating now or wait till we can get a notebook and pencils from the muggle world?" Harry asked as he frowned at the roll of parchment. Hermione frowned and was obviously trying to decide which option was best.
"What are the advantages of waiting?" Hermione asked finally causing Harry to frown a bit as he read a bit of the book.
"Any translation errors will be easier to fix and it will be more like reading a book instead of just a long page. This also means it will be easier to mark where you are." Harry pointed out. Hermione frowned then nodded slowly.
"We will wait then. Should only be a week at most. Truthfully I think it more likely to arrive either tomorrow or the next morning." Hermione stated. Harry nodded with a grin then frowned.
"Hopefully Umbridge won't try to confiscate the stuff. I have a feeling she may try." Harry said with a frown. He took a slow breath and shuddered.
"Harry you okay mate?" Ron asked seeing Harry's reaction. Harry nodded then shook his head a bit.
"I want to kill her. I want to see her breathing slowly stop, and I know this hooks directly into my past life." Harry said then stood again. He started to pace drawing the attention of his housemates. His expression darkening before he shook himself off.
"Harry are you sure it's going to be okay for you?" Hermione asked her voice tinting with worry. Harry sighed before plopping into the armchair again.
"I'll be okay Hermione. I just need to control the desires from the past life. It's why the possession was able to control me so much that time around." Harry explained as he attempted to calmly breathe. He stood yet again and began pacing in frustration. Controlling the anger and power that radiated through him was hard and he truly missed his sisters. They had always been a bright spot for him. He shut his yellow eyes with a groan.
"Harry talk to me please." Hermione requested causing Harry to look up in surprise. He then sighed again frowning.
"Remembering my past life. I miss my sisters." Harry said softly as he shook his head. Hermione tilted her head surprised.
"You had sisters in your past life?" Hermione asked. Harry frowned confused hearing the different inflection for the word sister then chuckled and shook his head.
"Not the way you are thinking. The Gerudo were an interesting race. All the Gerudo were female except a single male born every century. I happened to be the only male at that time. When I say sisters I mean it in the sense that everyone I was surrounded by were my family, my subjects but I cared for all of them." Harry tried to explain. Hermione frowned though her mind caught only one thing in his explanation causing her to frown in complete confusion.
"Harry, how could there only be one male? That would mean the race would lose its traits and start looking like those they had children with." Hermione pointed out. Harry started to chuckle his yellow eyes shining a bit in amusement.
"We were the chosen race of Din goddess of power. She ensured that we stayed as we were meant to be. Dark skinned yellow-amber eyes and tall. I mean the shortest Gerudo was around 6 foot or so at full growth. You'll notice I'm already that height. When I last lived I was probably around 7 foot 4 inch or so." Harry explained. Hermione stared at Harry in shock her mouth dropping open. Harry chuckled at her stunned face as Ron stared at Harry his eyes wide.
"You are going to be huge. What the bloody hell mate⦠I mean Merlin's hairy balls if you keep the musculature you've already gotten it will look like you are half-giant!" Ron exclaimed. Harry chuckled at this with a bit of a smirk.
"Oh calm down. I was the largest known Gerudo at that time. I miss the desert I miss Hyrule really. I can't even figure out where it would have been. Its unique landscapes don't match up with anywhere in the world now." Harry admitted before sitting down and almost curling up tightly.
"It's my fault they are gone. If I hadn't of succumbed to that thing. They would have survived. It's not fair... They didn't deserve to die out especially not when Bokoblin and Lynel's actually survived and changed." Harry snarled in anger then stood his eyes smoldering. He began to move towards the door shocking his friends.
"Harry stop what are you doing?" Hermione cried out causing him to turn to face her. His face showed rage and anger and none of the kindness she had known Harry to have.
"If the Gerudo are gone those races that worked for a monster do not deserve to still live as well." Harry snarled and opened the common Room door almost hard enough to break it. Hermione and Ron jump up and prepare to chase after Harry only for Hermione to pause in thought and glance to see if the Fat Lady is in her portrait.
"Excuse me, fat lady, I have a request." Hermione said politely to the portrait. The portrait looked at her a moment.
"What is it, child?" She asked obviously a bit shaken about Harry racing through the opening.
"Can you please go find Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw and tell her someone needs to stop Harry. I have a feeling only she might be able to stop him." Hermione admitted. The portrait nodded and left her portrait quickly.
Harry continued to storm through the hall of Hogwarts heading for the entrance doors his eyes glowing gold with anger. He had a large glowing ball of energy forming in one hand the outside of it flickering with dark energy. His jaw clenched as he continued to move rapidly. One teacher spotted him and began to say something only to stop and cower back at his expression.
He slams open the entrance doors with one hand and starts to float into the air as he turns to look at the Forbidden forest. His glowing gold eyes seeming to seek out a target as a small form runs out the doors in all white.
"Ganondorf stop this now!" the form yells. Harry snarls and turns to face the person his face rage filled. The figure flinches a bit but the back of her hand his glowing as she calls on her portion of the power to buffer herself.
"Give me one reason they have a right to live. To live when everything else is gone!" Harry cries out his voice echoing in pure pain. He starts shaking violently the energy in one hand starting to fade as he releases a scream of anguish. "My sisters, the Gorons, The Zora, Even your Hylians! All gone, yet the Bokoblin, and Lynels live!"
"They are not the same race as they were at that time. Neither of them and Ganondorf they are not as gone as you think, at least most of them. Listen to the heartbeat of magic. Release the anger that is blocking it and listen." Luna stated from her spot and watched as Harry collapsed onto the ground.
"I killed them though. All of them, they died because I allowed something else to influence me instead of actually doing what I wanted and to make life better for my sisters." Harry murmured. Luna slowly moved closer seeing Harry releasing the power he was holding. She shook her head a bit surprised at how deep his emotions ran and realized slowly just how much he had lost to the cycle and how easy it would be for him to lose himself to it again.
"You did not kill them Ganondorf. They or at least the last time I existed still lived. There were no males at that time though." Luna admitted causing Harry to frown a bit.
"But there were none the time with the twilight. I could only find one with signs of the blood." Harry exclaimed looking at her. She scratched at her head a moment then frowned trying to figure something out.
"I think they went away. Left into the deep desert after your first attack failed and you were sealed away. They came back ages later at least that's the only thing I can think of." Luna stated and watched Harry closely praying he was calm enough now not to do something too destructive.
"The other side of the desert, yes that would make sense. I wonder though without Din's blessing our race would have faded still. I miss them all of them." Harry admitted. Luna smiled a bit and turned to return to the castle.
"We all miss the past but we must move forward. I am positive more live from that time than just the monsters. Though look at them and you will see they are no longer just monsters as they were back then." Luna pointed out causing Harry to frown and think. He shut his eyes and breathed slowly as though listening then nodded.
"True at least for the centaurs. If they had still been like the Lynels they would not have saved me in the first year." Harry stated and slowly stood. He looked at the castle as he approached the door slowly.
"Ganondorf, a warning for you. You are opening the door that will let the thing reach out to you again by falling into these rages so easily. Try to find a balance in you or the cycle may restart between the three of us and that will be much worse than just having it get free of its prison." Luna said softly causing Harry to stiffen. Harry shuddered and rubbing at his chest then looked at his right hand and the symbol there.
"It is already attempting to do so. Right now the part that is free is within Voldemort so please be careful when you go home. It would not do well for him to get ahold of you." Harry warned Luna softly. Luna smiled softly and nodded.
"I will make sure daddy improves the wards around our home. Thank you for the warning." Luna stated then walked away. Harry watched her until she was back within the walls of the castle. He then looked back to the forest taking a few deep breaths before standing with a deep frown. Nothing in the area would help calm him. It was all too moist and life filled.
Harry turned and walked back into the castle eyes mostly shut as he steadied his breath. He walked back into the castle moving slowly towards the stairs praying none of the teachers bother him while his control is as shaky as it presently is. He kept breathing as he headed towards the Gryffindor common room continuing to steadily get his emotions under better control.
"Mr. Potter you should not be out in the halls. Why ever are you out here past curfew? Or do you like detention so much that you seek it out?" A sickeningly sweet voice asks from behind him making him stiffen and growl. He could feel the little bit of control he had regained start to fray immediately.
"No professor I do not it just was not wise for me to stay in my common room and blow up in anger as I did not want to risk anyone should my magic go haywire." Harry said and turned to face the toad behind him a completely false smile on his lips.
"Do not lie to me, Mr. Potter. You do not have the power to harm an entire common room. Let even another person." She said to him. Harry could feel the rage building again as his yellow eyes started to shimmer a bit.
"I see no reason to lie to a little toad like you. You do not have the power to make me bend Toad." Harry growled causing the woman's face to go deep red in rage. He kept staring taking many deep breaths.
"Detention with me for the entire week Mr. Potter." Umbridge growled making Harry snort and nod.
"Fine toad I'll see you tomorrow after dinner." Harry snarled and stalked towards the common room shaking in rage. He knew he had to get control of himself. He moved quickly and soon entered the common room. Immediately without looking at anyone raced up to the dorm room and bathroom. He grabbed his bathroom gear then went to shower and hopefully get control of himself.
He went under the water and tilted his head back feeling the water trailing down him. He would rather be laying in dry sand but for now, this would work though. He kept his breathing steady feeling the adrenaline still racing through his body as he attempted to rain himself in. He listened to his heart and the falling water to help calm himself.
"Harry are you okay?" Ron's voice came from the bathroom's door surprising Harry out of his attempt to calm. He looked out of the shower stall he was in and nodded a moment.
"I'm okay just working on getting full control back. Thank you for getting Luna to come after me. If she hadn't I think the forbidden forest wouldn't exist anymore." Harry admitted sadly. Ron winced hearing what Harry had said then frowned.
"You were still really upset when you got back here though." Ron pointed out making Harry groan and place his forehead on the siding of the shower stall.
"Ran into the toad while I was still working on calming down. She riled me back up a bit." Harry admitted softly. Ron winced where he was standing then groaned.
"She is going to cause you to flip out fully at this rate. We have to get her out of this school before that or you may end up in Azkaban." Ron stated with a frown. Harry frowned and tilted his head. Really Dementors were odd. There was no creature he knew of that fit what those things were. In many ways, they were very unique and different.
"Yeah, but there is nothing we can do directly. I have to learn control. I've been told that enough to know it's true. Each time I come close to losing it I am opening myself up to be taken by the thing again." Harry admitted. Ron winced with Harry's words then shut his eyes a bit.
"Like your life wasn't tough enough before all this started." Ron muttered obviously upset for Harry's situation Harry chuckled a moment as he turned off the water having enough control to relax a bit more.
"Could be worse. I could be the one reborn with the hero's soul. Oh, when he wakes up it's going to be hilarious." Harry chuckles thinking about the spoiled brat Malfoy and what the boy's reaction will be to his present life.
"What are you talking about Harry?" Ron asked as Harry started to dry off and prepare for bed. Harry glanced over at Ron and frowned trying to decide how to tell the boy what he was laughing at.
"The boy who had stopped the evil I was every time before this. He is not yet awake in this time, but everything he now is is the opposite of what he has ever been. So when his past self wakes up he's going to be very upset at his present self, and I find it amusing." Harry stated. Ron snickered at this right away seeing why this might amuse Harry since this person had apparently previously killed Harry.
"Okay, I can see why you might find that amusing. Are you in control enough to head to bed now though?" Ron asked still a bit worried as Harry walked towards the door dressed in his night stuff. Harry nodded slowly before allowing a small smile onto his lips.
"Yeah hopefully after a nights sleep I will be back in full control of myself." Harry murmured heading to sleep.
