harry glares at the two-faced man in front of him. it had taken ron getting a head injury and Hermione giving him a pep-talk but he now stood in front of the man about to steal the philosopher's stone. . . well his double at least. he had wanted to scream at "his" friends for thinking the thief was snape. anyone with a brain would realize that albus would not leave the stone in the school if he had thought it was someone on staff. of course the universe made it so he was right and wrong. it had need someone possessing someone on the staff. both harry's had not bothered to remember the mans name after they saw how stupid he acted and just called him stutters.
as harry watches his double get caught in rope and forced to look in the mirror he takes a glance at all that his magic had done and what they had started. his bones are now pure mythril and to their shock when they had changed parts of his muscles into goblin steel it had taken parts of his real muscles and fused it into itself and started to work like a normal muscle. after that they had carefully turned all muscles that they could into it. they then thought of defence before face-palming. his body was unbreakable and was made of the two metals that the killing curse did not destroy with one shot. testing through history showed it took at least twenty at one time to make them buckle under the pressure.
for offence they had taken something they had seen in one of the vision orbs. in it he had been watching a tv show and this guy with orange hair had fused his hand with his sword. they both said awesome and then spent a mental month making two swords that would work alone or as a pair. the first was as long as his body and was wide enough on the flat side to use as a shield while still being light and small enough that the normal human wizard could use it. its main use was to cleave the enemy in two or block a spell. the second was shorter and skinnier and was ment to stab or slash the enemy while still having the weight to balance out the first. both blades were green like his eyes but that could change if he used them to fire off a spell in the heat of battle.
snapping back to reality. . . he was in the real world. with a quick glance he noticed he was holding a stone that seemed to be allowing him to be free of the bind. oh he could feel the bind trying to force him back under it and becoming tighter as it does. he would not let this opportunity to go to waste. looking up he see's snake-face telling him to hand over the stone, not wanting his freedom gone harry clutches the stone tighter and brings it to his chest. "not happening snake breath" his robe rips open as his chest opens to show a hole that suckes the philosopher's stone into it before closing. "well that happened" both harry and snake face say at the same time. he then glares at the man who had killed his family. "i hope you like shish kabob because im in the mood for snake" harry flicks his wrist and conjures his shorter sword. it fuses to his hand once he grabs it. just in time as well as he takes a spell to the chest and feels the sword jerk in his hand. a feral grin is etched on harry's face as he sidesteps the next spell. "i would say something humorous but that would be lame, kinda like your aim" harry slashes the next spell and to his astonishment he had started a magical ping pong match.
two hours later albus pov
albus walks into the last room expecting to see harry okay and Professor Quirrell less okay. what he found was both people in a fight to the death using magic and swords. both holding a sword and a wand as they either shoot a spell or take a slash at the other as they dodge or block, though only harry is doing so without looking stupid. albus sends a flurry of stunners that drop both of them. with a careful eye he checks everything in the room and then after making sure no trap spells had been placed does he truely enter the battle scared room. with a spell he finds the stone but his eyes widen when it says it rests inside of harry.
albus runs a careful hand on harry as he checks for any broken bones or internal injury having learned long ago that you never use medical charms on a stunned person as it is bad for both of your health. as his fingers run over the sword that is fused to the boys hand he jumps back as the flesh peels off the hilt and the boys hand becomes whole once more. the blade slowly fades showing it had been conjured and not transfigured like albus had first thought.
with the knowledge that something like that could happen again albus carefully passes his hand over harrys ribs counting them and checking if any are broken and which one it would be. after checking that he passes harrys collarbone at which point he pulls back as the boys chest opens up like two doors.
steeling his stomach albus looks and almost feels his jaw drop as instead of organic things a normal person would have harrys internals looked like a person had dipped everything in metal and then changed some things. first of all he could not see lungs or a heart but in the place of his heart was the philosophers stone. albus at first thought harry was being kept alive by the stone but after a few seconds the stone is tossed out of the hole it was in and an orb of green magic takes its place. a flash of light hits albus before harrys chest snaps shut and the ripped skin seals up.
albus feels as if he is forgeting something before picking up the stone and carrying the slightly heavy boy to the hospital wing.
no pov
it would be a few days before harry potter was found to be in a coma that nothing they try will wake him from. snape and Neville start having long conversations over the next two years as harry is left laying on a bed with the only sign of him living being his breathing.
harrys magic pov
harrys magic floats in the void that is harrys mind as it looks at the upgrades the node inside that stone had done. when it had first been held in harrys hand it had fast tracked everything they had planed and then removed some things like with the heart and lungs. it had left the act of breathing alone as that would hide the fact harry is different. it had also left plans for other upgrades that they had thought of but did not think as important enough to actually plan for. the most shocking thing was it had given harrys magic the knowledge on how to make gold. with that they both had changed harrys body as fast as they could in the two hour fight making harry less human and more machine. they had scraped most human things like eating to live and made it so if he has a scrap of magic left he will live. of course they left ageing and dieing to be natural so he can die and is not immortal so not to get in trouble.
the best part was because the node from the stone was one of the few that had to brake the rule of interacting with other nodes. the elixir of life was made from the mixed magic of the drinker and the stone, so everything that happened was within the rules that they must follow.
looking up at the "net" around harrys mind it seems to glare at harry who had been tangled into the net and all but froze mentally. until that bind is removed harry is as good as brain dead.
sorry for the wait as this chapter and the start of the next is not wanting to form in my head. question should harry wake up thinking he is still in the fight or just wake up and be confused? its whats holding up the updates so comment your ideas.
