That ought to satisfy the critics for another day.
Chapter 3- "I Have to WHAT!" (or New Powers)
When Harry woke up he was in a void filled with light and there was a women looking down at him. She seemed to be everywhere
and nowhere at once and Harry didn't know where to look at all. She was beutiful. In fact, she even had the same color hair
as his mother. A lovly auburn red, though her's was slightly brown."Hello my child, you're awake. Good, we don't have all time
you know." She seemed to regard this as a joke but Harry didn't get it.
"Where am I?" His voice, like the woman's had, echoed through the entire chamber and bounced back to him, reminisent of the
way the voice in his room had. "I have to get back to my cousins. I can't leave them alone with the Dursley's! Not even for
five minutes, god only knows what they'll do to them!"
"Relax my son, not even a second has passed since you left them. Time passes diffrently here. You are in Fate's void. It is
where I do all my work and put the lifes of mortals in place. You are here to learn of your heritage and recieve your power
as well as meet two distent reletives of yours. Come on out you two!" Harry looked around not seeing where somebody could
be hiding, and was suprised when two men came to him. One was blind and wizend (old, crippled, bent, whatever...) with a long
white beard similiar to Dumbledore's but longer.
The second man Harry reconized from portraits around the school. "You-you're Godric Gryffindor... and you-" He pointed at the
older man, "You're Merlin!" "Indeed we are Harry. We need to transfer our powers and knowledge to you so that you can take
over your responsiblities as Lord of Fate." "Your the second uh, /person/ to call me that. What do you mean?"
"You didn't tell him?" Merlin asked the woman who shook her head. "I though we should all be here." She turned to Harry, "You
see Harry, there is a prophecy that says that when Fate has a son that is the ancestor of Godric Gryffindor, he will be infused
with the powers of Merlin as well as the powers of his mother and Godric Gryffindor, making him the most powerful wizard ever
to be born. His other half will be the same power level as he is, but he is not to know about him/her untill he finds him/her
so I can't tell you about that. It goes on to say that he will have twin daughters at an early age and they will each be half
as powerful as him and together the girls will be the same power level as him making them the third and fourth most powerful
magical humans in the world's history. The prophecy will be put into play when he is born, but he is not to learn of his
potential until the time he comes of age, at 15."
Harry looked at them, "So what does this have to with me? So I might me related to Gryffindor, I know my mother and you aren't
her. No offense or anything." He added, seeing the sad look on the women's face. "Who are you anyway?" "I am Fate. And I am
your mother. True you were born to Lily Potter, but only because I asked her to bear my child as I cannot. She agreed and
you were born to her, though you do not have any of her blood in you." "But-but- everyone says...my eyes! They are just like
her's!"
Now the women called Fate turned her face to him and Harry saw emerald green eyes just like his staring back at him. "Yes, I
gave them to her. I needed it to be believable that you were her son and all of Fate's line have the green eyes mixed with
gold. You would have come into the gold on your birthday, but I fear it will be diffrent for you."
"What do you mean?" Asked Harry suspiously. "Merlin, do you care you explain?" "Harry, you must understand, you will be getting
an emense amount of power. Even if you are going to be using them for good, there is a price to be paid. You will have to
give up the sight in your eyes."
(a/n I was really tempted to leave it here, but it was way to short to be a chapter so... on I go!)
Harry's face went white. "What!" "I'm sorry. You really don't have a choice though. If you don't the magic will kill you. And
besides, good will come of it. You will have the power to protect the people you care about, Ron, Hermione, Albus, Sirius,
and so on. You know what to do."
Harry sighed, he really couldn't complain. He did know what he had to do. Even if he died, Voldemort would still kill his
friends and so Harry need to be there to help them. Besides, how could he consiter his own well being over that of his friends?
"Will it hurt?" "I'm afraid so. You see,it has to be an outside source that causes you to gain your powers. It will be your
uncle Vernon. Tomorrow night. I went through the same thing except for me it was a fire.
"Your eyes will immedetly heal and you will be changed physically and have all the power and knowlegde that's in your destiny.
Don't worry." Now Merlin stepped back and Godric stepped foward. "I am afraid that you will have to adopt your cousins and
give them some of your blood to make them truly your daughters. They are also children of Fate. Your Aunt was only a vessel
for the babies and the boy is not importent. He is not a child of Fate, only of your Aunt and Uncle. I needed a child
growing in the womb to create your daughters.
"To adopt them all you need to do is get your aunt to insist that she never wants to see the babies again and then you have
to except them as your daughters forever and slit your palms and one of each of theirs. They will appear on all goverment
records as your own with no mother listed."
"Won't people be suspious?" "No, you're file is charmed so that no muggle will ever look at it and the wizards who look at it
won't be suspious because, while not commen, it does happen sometimes that a baby will show up without a mother and only a
father so you're safe."
Harry nodded tiredly. "Alright. I supposed it can't be helped. You said that my physical appearance would be changed, how so?"
Fate exchanged a look with Godric and Merlin, "Well, you'll be taller, much more muscluar, your eyes will be white instead
of the green they are now though you will be able to see, just not through your eyes, through your mind. You will understand
later. You will have to create a staff for your wand wil explode with the power you have and though you will easily be able to
do wandless magic, any magic with a staff will be about three times as powerful.
"You will be able to heal other people totally, though yourself only to an extent. After your change you will need to summon
help. No major magic untill you are healed. Don't let them see your eyes until then either. Other then that we really don't
know. You will be emmensly powerful and you will likly change quite a bit. You have to go now, there is only so long we can
keep you here without your magic."
Godric and Merlin left suddenly. "Harry, when you return to your room there will be a trunk in it. All of your things will
be in it and I advise you to put your daughters in the nursery. Vernon cannot get to them. They will be safe in there even if
you shrink the trunk, which only you can do."
Fate hesitated slightly, "Harry, I hope you can except me as your mother. I love you and want you to love me in return
and trust me. You have time to thing about it. I won't force you into anything, I can't." "Alright, I think that I will be
able to love you, but it will take time, mother." Harry had time to see Fate's happy face before he was back in his bedroom
with his cous-no daughters.
"Alright Lily, Raven, we have a long day ahead of use tomorrow. Get some sleep while you can." With that Harry fell into bed,
getting the first good nights sleep since before the third task.
When Harry woke up in the morning he noticed that the sun was shining down on him and that it was at least noon. After quickly
changing into some semi-clean clothes, Harry changed the babies and headed downstairs where his aunt was feeding Bryan, as they
named the boy.
"Aunt Petunia, did you know that these babies are magic?" He asked casually. As he expected his Aunts face went pure white and
she began to stutter. "Now I can take them away from you forever if you will just say that you never want to see them again
and that I can become their father." His aunt did this quickly and loudly enough for the people in America to hear her.
"I, Harry James Potter, take this girl, Lily Dove Potter to be my daughter forever, past the day that we die and our souls
meet in the land of Fate." He then slit his right palm and Lily's right palm and mingled the blood. Both wounds immedetly
sealed and became long gold scars. Harry then repeated the process with Raven and soon had another gold scar streaching over
his palm, this time over his left hand.
Petunia looked horrified at this display of magic. "Vernon is going to put a stop to you freak! Tonight, as soon as he gets
home!" Harry just looked at her calmly and went upstairs with his two daughters, placing them in the cradles he had bought
and then carrying them into the nursery his mother (when did he start thinking of Fate as his mother?) had told him about
and sat about to wait for Vernon.
Harry got up several times during the course of the day to feed, change, and play with his daughters. He did not want them
to think that he had abandoned them. At about four o'clock they fell asleep and Harry closed up his trunk and shrank it down
and hid it under the go-cart that had served the twins as a bed for the first two weeks they stayed with him. The trunk
was about the size of Harry's palm but Harry was sure that Vernon wouldn't notice it.
Finally at about 5:30 pm Harry heard his Uncle come into the house. Then he heard murmurs that must have been Aunt Petunia
telling Vernon what he did. Sure enough, a bellow of rage filled the house and heavey steps thumped up the stairs and into
his room. 'Mother,' Harry prayed, 'Fate, I know you can hear me. Protect me, please, and protect my daughters.' It was then
that the door to his room splintered open and a man that strongly resembled a bull came charging into his room.
"What do you think you're doing! We take you in and feed you for 14 years and you re-pay us with this /unnatueralness/!"
And he precedded to hit Harry countless times over his entire body, no longer careful not to leave marks that could not
be hidden. Just before he left, Vernon grabbed a poker that must have been hidden behind the door. It was glowing hot. The
man then brought it down to Harry's face.
The last thing Harry saw before the point entered his eyes was the trunk were his daughters were hidden and he hoped that they
would be safe because he didn't know if he would survive. And then all sight was gone. Harry didn't loose conciousness as he
had hoped he would and so he could feel the magic entering his body and changing it. At the same time Harry was aware of the
fact that Vernon had fled the room.
After what must have been hours, thoguh it felt like years to Harry, the magic stopped flowing into him and Harry could feel
that his eyes had healed, though he could not see out of them. Standing up Harry realized that he could in fact see. Not the
way he could before, not through his eyes, but now he could see /everything/. Long distences, through disguses, through walls.
He didn't know where the
sight came from, but at the same time he did. It was impossible to explain, even to himself.
Harry used wandless magic to stop the heavy bleeding but wasn't able to do more then that. He called a piece of parchment to
him and shakily wrote a message to a Hogwarts teacher, any Hogwarts teacher, that he needed help. With that he sent Hedwig,
with the letter to Hogwarts, with the directions of giving the letter to the first teacher she saw.
While he waited for the teacher to come, Harry cast an illusion over his face, there was no reason for the Hogwarts staff to
see just how much damage had been done to his face and eyes. It wasn't pretty. He would heal himself when he woke up. That
done, Harry fashioned a pair of muggle sunglasses. Once they were finished, Harry gently
placed them over his eyes and stuck them there with a strong binding spell.
Next he called the trunk with his daughters in it
and gently stuck it into his pocket. He was suprised by how much he already loved them. But now was not the time to dwell on
it, there would be time for that later. He had to wait for a professor to arrive and not go unconcious from the pain that was
curently coursing through his body.
At Hogwarts
The new defense against the dark arts teacher, Aura Fade was currently waiting for Albus to arrive in his office. She needed
to talk to
him about her class. Deep in thought ,the teacher was startled to say the least, when a snow white owl appeared in the air
above her head. She was even more startled to see that the owl was covered in blood. It looked like somthing from a Voldemort
attack.
The bird saw here and dived to rest on her knee, dropping a letter on her lap. With trembling hands, the young Professor
opened the letter and was shocked at what she saw. The letter read:
Whoever finds this letter needs to help me right away. I am terribly injured and need assistence. I live at 4 private drive
in Surrey England. HP
She knew right away who the letter was from. Without a second though she raced out of Hogwarts and past the borders so
that she could apparate near Harry's house.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Done. Hope you liked it. Reveiw and I'll post the next chapter sooner.

"Alright Lily, Raven, we have a long day ahead of use tomorrow. Get some sleep while you can." With that Harry fell into bed,
