Harry's thoughts
Chapter 16: Back and White
The last two tapestries were the ones he avoided to look at trough out the whole process because Harry was scared of what might happen.
Slowly turning his head, Harry looked at the tapestry before him. It was the black one. As soon as he focused on it, Harry felt a chill go down his spine. What is happening? Harry thought as he felt himself loose all control of his body and searing pain rippled through him. The cruciatus is a kiss to the hand compared to this! he thought but still refused to scream. After the pain had dimmed, a voice entered his mind.
*You are a strong one, the only one to go through this without screaming. As a reward you are allowed to see and use my body for anything you find worthy. But first, you must let the dark side of your soul free, you keep it locked in the recess of your mind because you think it will hurt someone if you let it out. It won't, you are the only one who will be able to use it and you are the only one who will be able to control it. Just let it out now, I promise nothing is going to happen to those in the room with you.*
How am I supposed to do this?
*You have to look for it, somewhere in the back of your mind, should be a black power source, take hold of it and pull it into your soul. It won't hurt you. Now try it!*
Ok, here goes nothing!
Taking a deep breath he went into a small trance, just as he had done with the animagus transformation. Looking at the very back of his mind was easier than he thought and what he found him was astounding. There was a whole well of dark energy and every time he pulled some of it away, it would be refilled in a manner of seconds.
*Take the well with you, you won't have to go into a trance every time you need some of your dark magic.*
And Harry did just that. Looking behind the darkness, he found what looked like a hole of nothingness. Pulling on it, he dragged it back into the usable part of his mind and out of the protections he put there to keep it out. What happened next surprised him. That void of black energy started to fill every part of him that had felt so empty all his life. It was as if he burned to ashes and risen from them again, with a sense of fulfillment he had never felt before. Like a long lost part of him had found its way back to him.
*Now the last thing I will give you is my face, so you will see what you will become when facing an enemy.*
With that a shadow came out of the blackness.
(A/N: Nice place to end the chapter, but too short to do so.)
It had the form of a human; a sleek body and well muscled. The creature wore a black tunic and had black long hair falling to the middle of its back. Black wings were prodding out of its shoulder blades and its features were stony. It looked like a fallen angel.
*I am Damien, prince of the darkness. I bind my soul and life to yours, so that you will be able to defeat the threat that plagues your existence. From now on, you are I and I am you. We will be together for eternity, so do not fight your dark side any longer, it will only put a strain on you and me.* With that Damien gave a mighty cry and launched himself at Harry, mingling they're souls and power for the rest of Harry's life.
(A/N: Another nice stop to the story, what I do for my reviewers. *shakes head*)
Harry gasped at the sensation and came back into the real world seconds later, breathing hard and falling to one knee. Shaking his head to rid himself of the dizziness he felt, Harry stood up and walked to the front of the white tapestry. It didn't even hurt his eyes this time, as he focused on it and fell into a room full of warmth and light. Slowly the light dimmed and Harry saw that he was in what looked like the inside of a cloud.
This is nice.
*Yes,* a soft and comforting voice replied. *I did it myself. I am very happy that you like it, there are not many visitors who come to this place.*
Harry turned around and saw the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. It was an elf. The elf smiled as she saw that Harry was gaping at her.
*Close your mouth young one so I can test you.*
The elve smiled and touched Harry's forehead. Phoenix song filled the boys thoughts and Harry felt as if he never wanted to leave. But then he remembered the imperious curse and began to fight the sensation. It was hard but after a while he had pushed it in the back of his mind, behind the walls where he had confined his dark source.
*Very good young one, you passed the test. Not every thing nice and light is good, just as not everything dark and unknown is bad.*
She smiled at him and then spoke again.
*I am Alandria, healer of the elves; from now on you will have the gift of healing. You will also get my staff.*
A beautiful white and silver staff appeared in front of Harry. He took it and felt the power searing through him.
*There are many abilities you will have to discover for your self, but one I will tell you. Thee are many tunnels the human mind has, the cruciatus curse will torture the victim until one of the tunnels collapse. You have the ability to repair these tunnels. Now before you go and help those in need of your help, let me connect my mind with yours.*
A gasp was pulled from Harry as he felt something enter his mind and then vanish to the back of his thoughts. The last thing he saw was black.
(A/N: The spirits, the unicorn, Damien's, and Alandria's, are in those *.* ok? Also to make it easier to know who is who: Damien is calling Harry kid, Alandria is calling him Harry and the unicorn spirit is calling him lightning.)
*Come on Harry wake up!*
*The kid's not going to wake up. He's sleeping can't you see that?*
*Lightning may be asleep now, but not for much longer if you don't stop with all that bickering.*
To late, good morning all! Well, this is something else, having voices in you head who just won't stop talking! My lifelong dream is fulfilled!
*You will just have to get used to it! Oh. and kid? Its 4 in the afternoon, you are supposed to get up and start training you know!*
Ok, ok. don't get you knickers in a twist!
"Ugh." Harry groaned, shutting his eyes tightly, trying to block out the pain in his head and body. A goblet was pressed against his lips.
"Come on Harry, you know the drill. It'll help you, I promise!"
Sighting, Harry opened his mouth and swallowed the cool liquid down. Almost immediately he felt the pain vanish and slowly sat up in his bed. He said his thanks and recognized Salazar's voice as he answered.
"No problem kid. Now, you have two choices," Salazar was suddenly so serious, that Harry blinked, startled.
"Ether you can stay in your room, with that blasted bird behind you," an indignant trill of notes made him notice Serena sitting on the headboard behind him, ruffling her feathers and muttering about insufferable humans, "or you can come with me and pull a prank on Godric."
Harry breathed a sight of relieve at the playful tone that had entered Salazar's voice at the end of his little speech. "Of course I'll help you, I already have a nice idea." He grinned and opened his trunk. Taking out a box, Harry opened it and heard Salazar gasp.
"Where did you get that?
"The twins got me the same one because I gave them the money to make those fine products."
"Twins?"
"Yea, Fred and George Weasley, pranksters galore. They're in Gryffindor and have probably more detentions in a year, than the rest of the whole school put together. Now, what do you want to try on poor Godric?"
"Let me have a look for a moment."
"Ok, I'm gonna change into some robes."
Harry was halfway to the bathroom when he turned around with a smirk on his face.
"Oh and be careful, half of that stuff really is dangerous."
With that, he turned and headed back into the bathroom, thinking about what Salazar would to Godric.
//Salazar's POV//
Man, this is like paradise, and most of this stuff just need a few simple potions or spell to work! This is gonna be fun! Now, how about a canary cream, naw. already did that. Ohhh. what have we here? I know! I'll just use.
//Normal POV//
Changing his clothes and brushing his teeth quickly, Harry stepped back into the bedroom only to discover Salazar sitting in front of the now closed Box of Pranks.
"So? What are you going to do to him?" Harry inquired.
"I found something really good, but I'll need your help with it."
"Sure, just tell me what it is."
Grinning, Salazar stood up and whispered something in Harry's ear.
"Ohh. This is gonna be fun!" giggled Harry as the two made their way towards the dungeons dueling rooms.
//In the dueling room//
"Well Merlin, what are we going to teach Harry today?"
Godric asked the man sitting beside him on the couch.
"Maybe we could show him how to dream hop or send messages to his friends in the future," Remus said before Merlin had a chance to reply.
"Yes, I rather like that idea. And after that, we can have a little dueling contest. What do you think about that?"
"Sounds good!" Both Godric and Remus replied at once.
TBC..
Long enough? Tell me what you think! Hope you liked it.
