A/N: Hey guys, I wanted to thank the numerous of people who reviewed and helped me for the story. I'd also like the people who have helped me. I am planning to make some corrections in my fic. I still wanna thank my reviewers. You guys are the best of the best. I will be continuing this fic and make up for the days I've missed on doing writing, but I had this new idea pop up and the exams are coming close and I don't like failing, and recently some bad things have happened, and some good things… I do too much match making, but anyways. Just wanted to say that I've been creating two new fics and hopefully you'll like them two once I sort out the plot and everything else. Now on with the story after this long rant. Look down there and read. *Blows bubble kisses and winks to readers*
Chapter Three: Discovering A Different World
Harry walked up familiar steps tracing to professor Dumbledore's office. His mind was clouded with thoughts of many things. He kept on trying to convince himself that it was just silly thinking that professor Dumbledor wouldn't have had found out. Soon enough he had reached the gargoyle figure and spoke out the password to it, and the stairs began to appear.
"Harry my dear boy, please do sit. For what I am about to say will be long to bare." Professor Dumbledore said as Harry gulped and noticed that professor Dumbledore hadn't offered any Lemon Drops.
"Yes sir." That was the only reply that came from Harry's now quiet voice. He glanced around the room and silently praying in his mind that the headmaster would not send him to St. Mungo.
"Yes now well Harry, I just wanted to ask you, how have your relatives been treating you lately, and I want the honest truth Harry?" Professor Dumbledore said, with a serious look.
Harry just sat there frozen trying to find something to say, but Harry knew that they probably already found out about what had happened to him over last summer and the summers before. His heat pounded in his chest as if he were to die as if it were a wild maniac on the loose hunting him down. He turned away from the headmaster's gaze and answered. "The way they usually do and I deserved it."
Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry with sadness in his eyes; it seemed like the professor's twinkle left him. "Harry, being beat up, sold out, or raped is nothing to deserve. God Harry you're young and you didn't tell anyone about this to stop them?"
Harry's eyes tried to hold back the tears that wanted to pour a river of pain and sorrow. The old professor came around to him and hugged the boy as if it were his own child he was hugging. "Harry you wont have to stay with them any longer I promise, you have to go to court for this though. You'll be free from this life of pain."
Harry just looked to the old professor that released himself from hugging him. Harry looked him in the eye. "It's not that simple professor. I don't think I'd be able to face them, and I think I deserve half of what they do to me. I caused so much death around myself and other people." Harry said as his tears still flowed, but his voice became steady.
"My boy, Harry, you have to understand we are in war. People die everyday Harry it's not your fault or anyone else's fault. Harry we don't know when we die it's all up to fate and destiny, not us." Professor Dumbledore said as he offered Harry tissue.
"Thank you. I understand sir, but you know I feel like I did it, the pain isn't what I hate, but it's sometimes… something that I need." Harry said as he blew his nose.
"I understand Harry, we will help you to stop that." Professor Dumbledore said, as he gave back Harry the book and a sound was heard from the back round. The gargoyle staircase was opened again, and this time Professor McGonagall came up. "Yes Minerva?"
"It's Severus, Albus I caught a couple of the third years running around the halls saying that Severus was not teaching class. What happened to him Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked in worry for her fellow colleague.
The headmaster looked to her. "Are you sure Minerva?" Professor McGonagall could do was nod. "He hasn't gone to any death eater meeting in a while. I can't understand it, have you checked his rooms?" Professor McGonagall nodded once again.
"You don't think that a death eater found out and dragged him out of the castle to kill him." Professor McGonagall said as she kept on jumping to think of the worse things that could've happened to Professor Snape.
Harry watched as the two talked back and forth, as Harry opened his journal to check if everything was okay and nothing really happened to it. He read through the last couple of pages and his eyes widen. Professor Snape must've said the spell to activate him into going into the world he had been creating. He read back, many of things changed in the book even what he wrote last night. They didn't exist anymore.
He looked up to both his professors and said in a quiet and heard voice. "I think I know where Professor Snape is."
"Oh Mr. Potter that's good, so where is he so I can smack him for making me worry?" Professor McGonagall asked, as she seemed now interested.
"Um, well that's kind of hard to explain, but he's in my journal professor." Harry said weakly as he continued to read the book looking and following what Snape seemed to be doing. "The mysterious unknown figure walked along the outside of Bubble Town reaching to it. The figure noticed the bubble coming out of it and the loud laughter made. The man sighed and said, 'If this is the only place I'll be able to get answer to get back to Hogwarts then so be it, bloody cheerful people.' He made to the opening gates of the town as horns blew out when a small child screamed and ran away. The bubble fairy guards had came…"
The two teacher's looked to Harry, and Harry looked to them. "Could you explain to us what happened Harry, and how he got in there?"
"He must've said my chant, only I enter into there and I'm the only one who can get out of there. I don't understand how he got in, unless..." Harry said as he looked back down to the book. The professor sure was annoyed by what he could tell from reading the book.
"Unless what Mr. Potter?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I charmed my book with many things professor, whatever spells I can get my hands on that seem like a good idea to put it here." Harry said as he watched the both of them cautious into what he would say. "The book has my essence so when I die a part of myself would live in there, I also putted a soul mate charm on it, so if I ever find my soul mate or when my soul mate finds this book and I'm dead they may join me in that world, or just even enter it with me if we are both alive."
"So you're saying, but that's, oh my." Professor McGonagall said as she tried to come up with something to say completely but couldn't.
"Harry, I've read some things in that book that I know I shouldn't have, but I need to know what you do considering that you have also gone during the day while classes go on. You can't do things like that unless you have a time turner, and I know my dear boy you don't have that." Professor Dumbledore said as he was stumped as to how the boy stayed in the book world that Harry had created and still attend classes.
"Well, I duplicate myself I guess you could say sir." Harry said as he smiled sheepishly. "With other added spells to it, a dummy duplicate can do wonders when you know what other spells to put on it."
"Well then Mr. Potter, I guess the only we have to say is that, you be needing to get into that book seeing as we can't get in there." Professor McGonagall said as she looked to the book.
Harry nodded and looked to both of them. "Professors, I just want to tell you before I leave that you can't tell anyone and 'Moine's the only other person who know. She can fill you in on anymore questions if you wish. Just watch the book and make sure it doesn't fall into any ones hands." Harry said as they nodded to him.
"Good luck Mr. Potter." Both Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore said as Harry chanted the spell and his duplicate was left in the room with the professors, while the real Harry was gone.
Harry's duplicate looked to the book now on a stand and read some. "Good lucky Master Harry."
Both professors rose an eye, the duplicate had a mind of it's own. No wonder no one could probably try to tell the two apart. The duplicate looked around its surroundings and looked to the other two professors. "Hello, my names Harold. Harry filled me in and told me that you two know everything, I'm Harry's duplicate and some of his happiness. You can say I'm a part of his loving emotions in flesh."
The two looked at each other then to the Harry look a like. "That's impossible." Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
"Yes well Minerva, there is always something unusual about Mr. Potter and this is one of them." Professor Dumbledore said as he chuckled a bit. "Well, we'll be discussing this with Ms. Granger later on the weekend, with you of course Minerva. Now Harold, you are dismissed." Dumbledore then sat down in his seat and he read what the book revealed after reading things before to catch on what happened.
~*~*~
Severus looked around the surrounds as he was walking through. He had then began to hear laughter somewhere near by and rushed to it, 'People,' he thought, 'Finally I might just get out of the strange place.'
Severus had seen many bubbles come out of the town and hear louder laughter. Severus seemed annoyed, but if this was the closest thing he could get to civilization the so be it. Severus kept on going as he saw a little girl staring at him when she came near the gates. The girl scream loudly and ran away saying some gibberish about one of the queen's dark henchmen and such. Everything went silent as then black and red bubbles blossomed from the town's fountain, then the yellow and light blue that originally was popping up.
Severus walked in through the bubble gates as everything was still and quiet and all you could hear were tiny trumpets and busy buzzing sounds. "Attack!" A small voice was heard. Severus looked behind himself to see the tiny fairy being, it was so different then the ones he saw. Severus glared at it as small bubbles that flew at him, and for some odd reason the bubbles seemed to be able to be as powerful as a pinch.
He looked to the multiple of bubble fairies that surrounded him. "Insufferable beings. Would you stop that, I just wanted to ask a question."
"Liar, you wanted to take over and make us do that queen's dirty work. No more." A fairy said that wore a crown over its head.
"And who are you to call me a liar?" Serverus asked, as he was ready to squeeze the air out of the little cute critter.
"I, Prince Pop the III and captain of this fairy bubble army say that you is a liar." The young fairy said as he shot a bubble at Severus' left check.
"Well you spoiled brat, I am not a liar. In fact I don't even belong here." Severus said as he tried to snatch the creature in his hands.
"Your right you don't belong here, you belong in Prince Harlem's dungeons." The fairy said as he got in position with the other fairies. Severus just raised a brow as to what they would do. The fairies took out a blow bubble tool and blew at the same time, as each bubble grew bigger the combined together to trapped Severus into a huge solid bubble that he tried to get out of. Even with his wand and the spell was absorbed.
"Puffs!" The prince called out and then a flying lion cub came to the call of her master. "Take him to prince Harlem, tell him it's a gift from me."
The lion nodded and telepathically spoke to him. "Of course Pop-Pop." And the lion left as the town's people showed in happiness after the bubble fairies told them it was all right to come out. The young lion took him into one of the windows of Prince Harlem's private chambers. The lion meowed a small roar as the prince heard it he looked to the lion.
"Ah, a present from the bubble fairy prince. His second capture." Harlem said as he smiled wickedly and took the knife above the bubble. Severus hid his fear as he hoped that his life wouldn't end yet. Harlem stabbed the bubble but the sharp knife broke. "Still as tough hold as ever, to bad we can't leave him in there and let him die, but we need him don't we Puffs. To tell me how I can get revenge against my stepmother now don't we." The lion only nodded to the prince.
Severus just looked to the young male before him. Severus just thought him to be a lunatic. "Let me out of this contraption." Severus said as he readied his wand.
"No I think not, well until you get down to the dungeons. Go ahead Puffs, just tell my guards to put him in, let's say a private cell." Prince Harlem said as the cat nodded to him and left and telepathically sent her own regards to the prince. The lion went downstairs and got the cell throwing in the bubble then popping it. The lion growled before leaving.
Severus took out his wand as a person from the next cell said something to him, "That won't be working anytime soon boy. The spell will only repel back on you or diminish; the bars were made right after the prince found out how we were escaping by. He had a special wizard do a job from keeping us all in."
Severus grunted and saw how hopeless it was; he sighed inwardly, now for sure he wouldn't complain if he had got back home. He wouldn't mind if he got out of this and that if Professor Dumbledore ever decides to offer Severus a Lemon Drop, he'd take it instantly. He sat on the bed, and closed his eyes and wished that this was only a dream.
~*~*~
Harry had woken up a few minutes later to be coming here, his safe haven. He quickly said as spell to see him self in a mirror and changed out of his dark robes to the deep green forest ones he wore here. He looked around his surroundings and quickly summoned a horse near by, a horse, black cobalt colored one appeared in the mist of nothing as it neared Harry and bowed down to him. It rose and Harry got on to the back of the horse, and they rode off quickly for Bubble Town, he was hoping that the fairy prince hadn't yet sent Severus to Prince Harlem's castle.
He silently hoped that his Professor was okay as he raced towards the town, he got the feeling that nothing was okay and that this was more then a rescue mission then ever. He felt as if something wrong had just happened and he stopped the horse, as his mind was concentrated on something. He isn't here just to save Severus anymore; he has to also help in the defeat in the evil queen. He had felt destiny pull that to his attention as he had a future flash. This was going to be a very long adventure.
