Ok, time for some answers.

Will there be some bashing? Not actively, no. But in my opinion, Ron's a wanker, and Dumbledore's just weird. For all I know, his 'Greater Good' is ten men, wearing adult diapers, eating a 30 course buffet, and one dish contains a strong laxative.

Will the story contain slash? Maybe, but not in that way. I plan on pairing Halios with Tonks, and while they will meet in a couple of chapters, they will not become a couple until late book 3 or early book 4. I also plan on give Tonks metamorphmagus abilities a boost after a while, giving her the ability to change her gender for short amounts of time, say, 2-5 hours at the longest.

Halios will NOT meet the Divines. This story takes place about 90 years AFTER the events in TES:Skyrim, so unless the next Elder Scrolls game comes out before the story is finished, Halios will not go anywhere near Tamriel, otherwise things might diverge to much from the Lore. Some of the Daedric Princes may make an appearance later on in the story, though.

I will be using the words hir and sie when describing Halios. Hir is a gender neutral possessive pronoun, a combination of his and her, and sie is a gender neutral personal pronoun.


3. Calling a God

June 30th, 1991, Dumbledores office

"Are you sure, Sirius?", asked Dumbledore with a small frown on his face.

"Yes. I've been researching this for the last 5 years, and last month I finally found a way to contact with whatever entity who took Harry all those years ago", answered Sirius. "According to what I've found, the one who took Harry was either know as Sheogorath or Meridia. As for who we should try and contact, I would suggest Meridia, since she is called the 'Daedric Prince of Life and Lady of Infinite Energies', while Sheogorath is simply known as 'the Mad God'. Meridia is said to be a good deity, so she might be more inclined to listen to us."

"Hmm... Very well. When would you say is the best time to contact her?", asked Dumbledore with a small nod.

"At noon today, when the sun is at its highest. As she is the Daedric Prince of Life, we will use a part of an undead creature as a sacrifice to be able to summon her presence to us. That way, we can talk to her without any major risk involved."

After hearing Sirius explanation, Dumbledore nodded in agreement and they started working on the ritual the would, hopefully, allow them to find Harry.


At the same time, Halios realm

Meridia sat next to the fountain in the courtyard and watched her child train. Half a year ago, Halios had begun showing signs of reaching the point where sie would discover what aspects sie represented. So far, it seemed that sie had an affinity for music and healing, for when sie spoke, hir voice sounded as if instruments were playing in the background. Hir laughter sounded like bells, hir whispers the soothing melody of a flute, and during the rare occasions sie raised hir voice, it sounded like a war horn over a battlefield. And when sie sang, hir voice could speed up the healing of wounds and purge the listeners bodies from minor poisons and curses. Hir songs would most likely grow in strength as sie got older.

As Halios had yet to decide if sie would be a man or a woman, sie shifted between the two depending on hir moods. Right now, sie was in hir female form. Tall for hir age, sie was just shy of 5'1. Hir hair, once golden with silver highlights, was now a reddish gold with golden highlights, and cascaded down to hir mid back. Hir eyes was a luminescent green, like the sun shining through an emerald, which turned dark green when sie was angry. Hir face is fair, yet not fully feminine, and hir skin is healthy pale, smooth and free of all kinds of blemishes. Sie was dressed in a pure white, knee-length dress, held together with a soft leather belt. The dress could just as easily be classified as a tunic, and on hir feet, sie had soft leather sandals.

As Meridia watches her child with a smile on her face, she feels the pull of a magic ritual made to summon her to a place where one of her shrines wasn't present. It had been thousands of years since this ritual was last used, and what more, it didn't originate from Nirn. Her curiosity sparked, she relaxed and let her mind be pulled towards the point where the ritual was being performed.


Hogwarts grounds, noon

Standing near the Black Lake, Sirius and Dumbledore had just finished the ritual and was now waiting for something to happen. As the seconds slowly ticked on, they started to wonder if the ritual had failed. That's when a presence suddenly descends upon them, and they hear a voice from all around them.

~I am Meridia, Daedric Prince of Life, and Lady of Infinite Energies. Who are you, and why have you summoned me?~

Dumbledore swallowed hard before answering. "My name is Albus Dumbledore, and I'm the Headmaster for Hogwarts school of Witchcraft an Wizardry. Beside me is Sirius Black, an old friend and former student. It was his work that gave us the ritual to summon you. As for why we summoned you, we need your help finding a child who disappeared almost ten years ago. The child's name was Harry Potter, but according to the magic of Hogwarts, it's now Halios Meridian Sheoth, and could at one time either be found in the Shivering Isles or the Colored Rooms, but is now in a 'realm unnamed'. Since Sirius research found that you are the ruler of the Colored Rooms, he thought it best to speak to you about Harry, and I agreed, which is why we summoned you."

~And why would you need to find my child?~

At that statement, both Sirius and Dumbledore jumped in shock. "C-c-child..?", stammered Sirius.

~Yes, Halios Meridian Sheoth, child of Meridia and Sheogorath. Now, why do you seek to find him?~

Taking a step forward, Sirius spoke up. "I was a close friend of Harry's parents, and they made me his godfather and legal and magical guardian in case anything happened to them. Ten years ago, a Dark wizard named Voldemort got it into his head that Harry was named his destroyer due to a prophesy, and the last of October that year Harry and his parents, Lily and James Potter, were betrayed and Lily and James killed. I was the first to arrive at their house, only to find them and Voldemort dead, and Harry missing. It took me five years to find any information regarding his location, and another five to find the ritual we used to summon you. As for why we want to find him, I just want to meet him again."

When Sirius had finished speaking, Dumbledore took over. "As I said, I'm the headmaster for a school that teaches magic to youngsters, and young Harry was signed up to enter the school at his birth. And now Halios name is in the school ledger, having taken Harry's place. Normally, we would send a letter to the possible student, informing them about their acceptance to the school, along with a list of the materials needed for the school year and the date the school begins. And if the student is muggleborn – their parents not being part of the magical community, that is – we also have one of the schools teacher meet them and introduce them to the magical world, along with the information on how to reach the school. The materials needed can be bought in the Diagon Alley in London, which entrance lies behind a pub by the name 'The Leaky Cauldron'. Since we have no way of sending said letter to Halios, we needed to make contact with someone who could."

When he had finished explaining why they had summoned her, there was a silence for a little while, before they could sense a massive gathering of magic around them. Suddenly, the ground started to shake before splitting open, and a statue of a woman with her hands raised towards the sky emerged.

~Place the letter at the foot of my shrine, and I will make sure my child reads it. And you, Sirius Black, if my child decides to enter this school, you will find us at this... Leaky Cauldron, at noon two weeks before the school starts. But remember, it is his choice whether or not he'll allow you into her life.~

Dumbledore drew his wand and summoned the letter, before laying it at the foot of the statue. A flash of light blinded them for a moment, and when they could see again, the letter was gone.

~Fare thee well, mortals.~

And with those words, the presence disappeared. Silently, they both turned around and slowly made their way towards the headmasters office, deep in thoughts. Sirius was happy. His godson was alive and well, yet he felt a slight feeling of dread. What if Harry decided not to attend Hogwarts, and felt no need to meet his godfather? He decided to speak with his wife and daughter when he got home, and ask them if they wanted to join him at the Leaky Cauldron the day Harry might return.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, was feeling conflicted feelings. On one hand, Harry was safe and loved, while on the other hand, he was no longer just a child, who Dumbledore could mould into a perfect champion of the Light in order to fight Voldemort once he returned. But, if Harry opted to come to Hogwarts, maybe he could be nudged in the right direction..?

Once they had reached the office, Sirius said goodbye to the old headmaster, before flooing home, leaving Dumbledore sitting at his desk, trying to figure out how to make Harry help him defeat Voldemort.


As soon as he had returned home, Sirius went to find his wife and daughter. He found them in the library, where his daughter was practising first year spells under the watchful eyes of her mother. When he entered the library, they both looked towards him, and with a huge smile on her face, his daughter ran up to him, with his wife slowly walking behind her.

"DADDY!", Seren shouted as she jumped up into her fathers arms, giving him a large hug. His wife came up next to him with a smile on her face. But said smile turned into a frown as she saw the look in his eyes.

"What's wrong, dear? Has something happened?", she asked.

Sighing, he set his daughter down and motioned them to sit on the nearby couch.

"You both know about the death of the Potter family almost ten years ago, and the disappearance of Harry Potter, my godson. Over the years I've been researching where he could be and how to contact him. Earlier today, Dumbledore and I were able to perform a ritual that summoned the presence of a deity with connections to Harry. Dumbledore gave the deity the Hogwarts acceptance letter, and I explained the situation about Harry. She said that if Harry were to accept going to Hogwarts, they would be at the Leaky Cauldron at noon, two weeks before the school starts."

Sinking deeper into the couch, he continues; "And I don't know how to feel about it. The joy of being able to meet my godson again battles with the dread of him choosing not to return here."

Knowing how close he had been to Harry's father, his wife and daughter simply hugged him, not wanting him to feel sad.

"Dear", his wife said. "When the day comes, we will be there with you, waiting for Harry, who could have been our son and Seren's brother."

"Yes, dad", Seren said, nodding vigorously. "I would love to meet Harry and have him as a friend!"

Smiling at the two women in his life, he hugged them close.


Meanwhile, Halios realm

Meridia rose to her feet, holding a letter in her hand. Calling her child over, she gave hir the letter.

"Halios, this letter comes from the same world as you once did, and is an invitation to a school that teaches magic. I also have a message from a man named Sirius Black. He is supposedly your godfather, and would very much like to meet you. It is your choice if you want to attend the school or meet this Sirius. Just know that your father and I will support your decision, whatever it may be."

Nodding, Halios took the letter from hir mother and opened it. After reading it through, sie turned towards hir mother.

"Mother, I believe that I shall attend this school. As you said, I'm originally from that world, and it would only be prudent to have knowledge about ones origin. Besides, since I'm yet unknown on Nirn, any chance to get some followers that can't be seen by the Aedra, would only be good in the long run. And the chance to get some friends that won't bow to my every whim is a minor dream that I have."

Hir mother smiled at hir. "Very well. I'll inform your father so that we can begin the preparations for the ritual that will take us there. At noon, two weeks before the school starts, we will transport to a pub by the name 'Leaky Cauldron' in the city called London. There we will most likely meet Sirius Black, and then we will gather the supplies for your first school-year."

Halios smiled back at her. "Thank you, mother."


I haven't been able to write as much lately, as I've been sick AND gotten a new job. But anyway, I will be continuing the story, but I don't know how regularly I will be able to update, so don't worry if there's no new chapters being uploaded in a while, I just need to re-read the books, since its been almost 8 years since I last red them.

Next chapter: Meeting the Black family, shopping, and the trip to Hogwarts (hopefully).
