The One With the Healer:
Rose came into a new world outside Hogwarts and something felt a bit off. Not in a bad way but in off, like the world was holding it's breath. She smoothed out her outfit, had her wand out and walked up to where a young man in scrubs that were splattered with blood was getting some air outside. She heard a spell behind her and had a shield out that was round and made out of yes, that! The killing spell hit her shield with a clang and she turned around to see AK there looking at her with annoyance. So that was why things had felt off to her, joy AK was here.
"You are clearly brain dead." Rose said, "why were you trying to kill Harry?"
"He is evil." AK said taking out a cigarette and lighting up, "have to."
"And you came to that wonderful conclusion how? Oh yes, he is covered in blood, and in scrubs, that must make him evil." Rose countered walking up to Harry, "nope, not evil he is a healer."
"Lady I have been in this world longer that you, I saw how he grew up and though he was innocent of the crimes that got him Azkaban, what happened to him there turned him evil, the blood should tell you enough."
"What a class act." Harry snapped, "not evil, full healer and yea, I went through hell, but it took me dying at their hands to get them to realize I would never confess, so cut out the act." Harry said and at seeing the shield he went total fan-boy, "oh is that a Captain America shield, they are real, oh gosh wait until I tell Albus."
"Oh hell no!" AK said raising his wand, Rose banished him and his killing curse took out a very surprised Voldemort, "I hate it when she does that!"
Back at Hogwarts Harry was listening to Rose and found the whole thing funny, she was his female counterpart and had made the best of having to destroy Voldemort. AK on the other hand, well his being nicknamed after a killing curse showed he had not taken it as well. Both had lost everything but Rose took that in stride and decided to stick to the light and good. AK on the other hand went far darker and Harry was concerned, oh he was not fully evil, there was still some good in him but he was not a saint at all. More like anti-hero, speaking of which he was back just as Albus Dumbledore with trimmed beard and long hair tied back clad in scrubs came out.
"So is everyone in this world a healer?" AK asked, "if Snape, hell no!" Another killing curse was blocked as Snape did come out in scrubs looking weary. "Stop blocking my curses woman!"
"No, yes I know there are many terrible Severus's out there and yes I have dealt with a few, but this one is very good, still Severus Snape and that personality does not change but a good man, stop throwing killing curses around!"
"I really don't like female versions of myself." AK muttered.
"Well get used to it because I am here to stay." Rose replied, "I think I am around to make sure you stop sliding down into a deep hole."
"Too late doll." AK said getting Rose to roll her eyes.
"Brother of mine I would that you would stop."
"So let me get this straight you are Rose Potter a female version of me." Harry said "and you are a male version of me that likes to AK people."
"Right in one." Rose replied, "now how can I help, Voldemort is dead but I feel my work is not done here."
Harry led Rose into the school and up a flight of stairs to the infirmary which now took up the whole of the first floor of the castle. He walked to the showers for the staff, half for the men and half for the women and in a few minutes returned clad in clean scrubs and clean from a shower. He led them to an ICU unit where a boy lay covered in bandages that looked similar to Harry. Rose knew what was needed and so in a moment flashed out, and was back shortly with a smile that made AK glare at her.
"He will go back, but those who harmed him never can again, and he can get healed here learn what love is and go to a nice family there." Rose said.
"He came to us very broken." Harry said, "but he will go back to his loving parents who are alive?"
"Yes they are, he was taken by Peter and given to the Dursleys who were death eaters, the rest you know."
"That is terrible." Harry said, "they were working for the ministry here, the ministry wanted me gone more than Voldemort, never checked to see if I could go dark. Oh and AK is it?"
"Yea?"
"Can you please wait outside, your darkness, well you are a good warrior and all but you can't be in here, I am sorry."
"Very well, I can see when I am not wanted." AK said.
He walked out and Rose walked up to watch Harry cast healing spells on the boy before her. She could do basic healing and she could cast out dark curses and the like, but nothing like this. This was beautiful and gentle, he had to do so many things to the boy before her. She reached out with her senses and smiled, the bandages were filled with light magic, they felt like love and spring, of renewal and hope. She smiled as she watched Harry the healer do his work, he had been through so much, through hell and hate and had come out with such compassion and love still in him. She was not sure she could have turned out so good and light after all he had been through.
"There, now he just needs to sleep and heal." Harry said, "I will leave him with Severus, you want to see more of this world, it is great, Asia and America are amazing as is Africa and South America, and don't get me started on Australia!" Harry gushed.
"I would like that." Rose said as they walked out to see AK sitting reading a magazine. "You want to come?"
"No, I am leaving." AK said.
"You can, it could be fun." Harry said. "Or would you rather go to Egypt and help out Bill."
"Now you are speaking my language." AK said popping out.
Several demons would flee on hearing his name while Rose went with Harry to explore this world. She had not done this for a long time and found the world was a good place. This world's muggles ran the world green, solar, wind and people power (roads were charged by cars driving over them and sidewalks too, to add to the grid) any manufacturing was done in a clean manner (huge catalytic converters kept the factories from spewing coal dust into the air and scrubbers kept contaminated water from spewing into lakes rivers and the ocean). She saw the great jean factories of China, the vast technical plants in Korea (united here) Japan and India. There were plants in Africa that produced medicine and everywhere trades and people thrived. Rose wondered at this.
"The cold war never ended and when the Soviets started a new tactic we had to change." Harry said, "they started the green war and we realized war was not going to work, so we went green harder and in a better way."
"You say we, but the muggles."
"The whole world, magic is still hidden but we know that the muggles are very advanced, they are going to find out about us soon enough." Harry said, "anyway, back in the late 70s that was when the cold war went green and things got better."
"I see, this world is amazing." Rose said, "so are you, you are doing good here."
"Yea well, the ministry is gone, the only magical left in Great Britain are in the Hogsmeade Valley, all 20,000, 15,000 are gone, so much waste. Azkaban was nuked off the map and the ministry was flooded, it will never rise again. Diagon Alley is still there but that is it, everyone else is here."
Rose found that to be the best for this world and found this Harry a great man. She stayed to learn healing arts from him and was not surprised that AK did not. But he was a warrior and a dark one to boot, the healing arts like this might hurt him. She spent a few months here learning, healing and watching the young Harry healed and sent home to a loving family. Finally, after a few months it was time for her to go and she felt a tug that took her away to a new world.
I love AK, but he is dark, there is no doubt about that. Still he does fight the good fight. Rose is light, very light and that is what keeps her going.
Anyway Review please!
