Lord of Fate

Chapter 4: Reactions (or the chapter where "Who are you" seems to be said alot)
As Harry waited for a Professor to come, he could feel unconciousness creeping up on him. The edges of his vision were slowly
turning black. Suddenly he heard the front door being opened and a person steadily creeping up the stairs. He could tell it
was one of his Professors, probebly a female judging by the sounds of the steps. Then his door was flung open and a very
worried women walked.
"Oh my god! What happend in here? Where's Harry? Did Voldemort attack? I have to get you to the hospital wing!" "Who are you?
I asked for a Hogwarts professor." "I am the new D.A.D.A.s professor. Did you say you sent the letter? Where's Harry?"
"Professor, I'm Harry. No, Voldemort didn't attack. I'll explain what happened later. I think it would be a good idea to go
to the hospital wing right now. I don't think I can stay concious for much longer."
"Harry? But-you're-I-" "Professor! I am Harry. I need medical attention NOW!" The confused and frightened professor snapped
out of the fog she was in. "Of course. We need to get past the apparation wards, can you walk?" "No. Sorry Professor, I can't.
I can take the apparition wards down though."
Aura stared at Harry for a moment and then just nodded sharply. "Ok, but as soon as they're down you have to get us
out of here. I will be unconcious. Make sure that this trunk doesn't get left behind. It is very importent. If I am out for
more then two hours, enlarge it by saying "Fate Calls" and take care of what's inside. Otherwise, don't open it. I'm taking
the wards down now."
With that the wards were gone and Harry was unconious on the floor. Aura Fade grabbed Harry and the trunk and apparated to
Hogsmead, casting an invisiblity spell over her charge. Once there she flooed to the Hospital wing of Hogwarts and laid
Harry on the bed carefully, setting the trunk on the table as she did so. Then in one fluid motion, the invisiblity spell
was off of Harry and Minerva called Poppy into the room.
"Poppy get in here! Now! It's urgent." The startled nurse hurried in and gasped with shock. "What happened to him!" "I don't
know, but you need to heal him, fast!" The bustling Patron nodded and shooed Aura out of the room. About an hour later
she came out again. "Well, what's wrong with him?" Aura asked at the sight of the nurse's face.
"He was severly beaten. By who I couldn't guess. He took multiple blows to the head, back, and stomach, though there were
deep cuts everywhere. Supprisingly the bleeding was stopped so it was easier to heal though he'll have scars for the rest of
his life. Both legs were broken but I healed them right up. Several ribs were cracked and one was shattered. I was lucky to
find that one, it could have punctured a lung and killed him. That's his major injuries. Now it's my turn to ask a question,
who is he?"
Pomfery was shocked by the look on Fade's face, regret, guilt, sorrow, pain. "Aura?" "That-that's Harry Potter." She
stuttered out. Poppy gasped, that man was Harry Potter? He had changed so much. And not just because of the beating. "Who
would want to hurt that sweet boy?" She asked and was supprised by the voice that answered.
"His Uncle." The voice was deep and music filled dispite the tinge of exhaustion that emitted from it. She spun around and
found herself face to face with a boy would should by all rights be dead, or at the very least flat out on the hospital bed
for at least a week.
"Harry?! Why are you up? /How/ are you up? I cast a sleeping spell on you to keep you asleep for hours." The boy grinned,
"I know. Spells work differently on my body now. Do you have a mirror? I am very anxious to see what I look like." At the
suprised looks from the two older women he explained. "My apperance was supposed to change derastically tonight. I haven't
had a chance to see the new me. I was otherwise occupied obviously"
He looked at the two women who in turn looked at him gravley. "I'm very aware that I have scars all over my face. Don't worry,
I'll be fine and I'll explain as soon as you can get Professor Dumbledore." "He's here." Albus came charging down the hall.
"You are the power source that came in here aren't you? Who are you?"
Harry chuckled at this, "Really professor, I'd have thought you at least would reconize me. I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
"Harry?!" The look of suprise on Albus' face was so rare and comical that Harry burst out laughing. "Yes it's me. Come into
the hospital wing. I need to sit down, I've only just recovered you know."
With that Harry turned and headed into the hospital room and the three adults had no choice but no follow him. "First order
of buisness, I would like to see a mirror please." Poppy shakily got up and lead Harry to a full wall mirror. Harry was so
suprised his almost fell over.
The man staring back at him was nothing like the boy he used to be. The man was at least 6'5" and was extremly muscular, but
still suprisingly thin. The messy black hair he used to have reached to the middle of his neck and was wavey with auburn
highlights in it. The features of his face were sharper, more defined and were covered in scars that had been inficked by his
Uncle.
"Oh. She did say I would change I guess." He gingery reached up and felt along the sides of his face. None of the teachers
present knew what to make of that gesture, as those were the two spots that seems almost devoid scars. Harry appeared to be
lost in his own world after that sentance. There was silence in the hospital wing for about ten minutes until Albus coughed
loudly, startling Harry right out of the fog. "Sorry about that you all." Harry glanced around the room and his gaze landed
on the trunk. "How long was I out?" The question was fired at Aura with such intensity she was startled.
"Ah, about an hour and a half. Give or take a bit." Harry nodded and crossed the room to pick up th trunk and lay it gently
on the floor. "If you will excuse me for a second. I have to take care of something. Fate calls!" With the password spoken,
the trunk grew to it's normal size and Harry fliped the lid after turning the key once. "Stay here, I'll only be a moment."
Then Harry disapeared into the trunk. "What happened to him? He's so different. Not just his appearance but his attitude as
well. He's so sure of himself." "I don't know what happened, but I'd love to know what's so importent in that trunk." Just
as the sentance was finished Harry's head poked out of the trunk.
"I will answer all your questions now." He said as he climbed out holding two babies that were dwarfed in his now large hands.
"Well, what do you want to know?" The
room was again silent as the three adults stared at the babies in Harry's arms. "Well?" Harry asked alittle impatiatly,
"You said that you had questions, what are they?"
"Harry, what are you doing with those babies?" Albus finally asked. Harry looked down at the children in his arms in suprise.
"These babies? These are my daughters." Aura gasped in shock, Poppy fell right out of her chair, and Albus gave a strangled
kind of choke that may have been concealing a laugh and then looked up with his eyes twinkling.
"What on earth do you mean Harry! How can these children be yours? You're only what, 15!?" Fade was turning red from
shock and indegnition. "They were not born to me. I adopted them and transfered my blood to them with a spell." All this was
stated matter of factly and strait foward.
Albus suddenly leaned foward, "Harry, how did you do that spell. No underage magic was used at your house over the summer."
Harry laughed, a deep, cheerful sound. "I was wondering if you would catch that Albus. On my fifteenth birthday I came into
my power." "How did you find out about that?" "They visited me." Now it was Albus who was confused, "They?" "Yes of course.
You didn't think that they would only allow Godric to come did you?"
"/Only/ Godric? Just how many did you inherit from." "Three." "Three?!" "Yes. Godric Gryffindor, Merlin, and..." "And who
Harry?" Poppy asked, having gotten up from the floor. "My mother." "Lily? You saw her?" Harry looked at Albus, "Are they
both trustworthy?" Albus nodded.
"Very well. My true mother is not Lily Potter." Gasps were heard from the three listeners but none fell off their seats. "My
mother is Fate. Lily Potter was simply a carrier and she knew it. Her true child would have been still-born. I'm sorry to
put this all so bluntly but it is nessesary."
After a few moments of wild chatter Ablus once again preveiled. "Harry, why don't you take off your sun glasses. There is
truly no need for them in here." "His what, Albus?" "Sun glasses, a muggle inverntion to protect their eyes from the sun."
Harry looked at the three teachers carfully. "I ask you not to be to worried by what you see. It is no big deal. Really it's
not."
His hand slowly creeped up to the glasses and pulled them off. The silence now was even more then ever befor. It would have
gone on for longer but just then Lily and Raven woke up. With big yawns they opened their eyes and gurgled at the sight of
their father. Harry smiled fondly at them and with the slightest wave of his hand a two bottles appeared on the bedside
table.
Crossing over to the table, Harry grabbed the bottles and sat down on a spare bed, giving his professors time to take in all
the new information while he fed the babies. After about fifteen minutes Aura crossed over to the bed where Harry and the
girls sat. "May I help you Harry? They really are sweet." Harry smiled up at her, "Of course you may professor. Here," He
passed one of the girls over to her, "This is Lily, if you would just feed her that would be great."
Aura took the bottle and baby and expertly began to feed the little girl. "But how can you be blind? You used a mirror and
you can obviously see where you're going so.." "I have what is called the second sight, it is not so good as regular sight,
but it is not horrible either, as I can see just not through my eyes.
Merlin had the same abilities and if it weren't for him I would still have green eyes. "Harry, how did you come about the
rest of those those injuries?"
Poppy asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. Harry frowned and it seemed like all the light was being sucked out
of the room. "My uncle is responsible for that. It was nessesary in the end, but..." Harry trailed off.
"What do you mean nessecary?" "My eyes had to be destroyed by an external source. My mother arranged it so that Vernon was
sure to go for my eyes at the end of the beating so that I could get out of that house with my daughters." "Your /mother/
aranged it?" "Yes of course. She is Fate you know." "No, I mean, yes, but, she made it so that your Uncle would make you
blind?"
"Well, kinda. If it wasn't my uncle it could have been a fire, like for Merlin or a flood or knife or mugger or whatever.
This was the best way that would assure that I would live through it." Poppy looked confused, as did Aura but Albus
appeared to understand at least.
"What did your ancestors teach you Harry?" "Many things. Ancient runes magic, Ancient healing magic, all other types of
ancient magic, wandless magic, elvish magic and much more all instently placed in my brain." This
information caused them to stop for a second before asking another question.
"Why didn't you tell anyone what was going on?" Fade asked and when Harry heard the question he frowned deeply. "I did
not want to cause anyone any trouble and I felt that..." His voice grew quiet "I deserved it." The women in the room gasped
and the twinkle in Albus' eyes vanished.
"Harry you never deserved any of this. You deserve a home where you are safe and a family, with parents I mean." Fade said
looking down at his daughter that was still laying in her arms. Harry looked sharply up at her, "I know professor, truly I
do, deep in my heart but what's done is done. I have no parents but I do have a family and I will make sure that my daughters
will not go through what I did in my life so far."
Aura looked like she was going to cry at this statment but held back her tears for the moment. "Harry, you know you can
always come to me if you need help, I'll be there for you." "As will I." Albus and Poppy said in unision, both looking like
they wished they could have said it first.
"Thank you, I may have to take you up on that. Now, I have to ask you about arrangments for my classes. I would like to
drop a class and I will have to take my daughters with me to all of my classes because they aren't even a year old yet and
I can't leave them alone."
Albus nodded, "Of course Harry special arragments can be made later but why do you need to take the classes? If you already
learned everything..." "I didn't professor. I only learned ancient magics. Merlin and Godric do not know recent spells and
Fate couldn't pass her information to me because I can't know everything in the entire universe like she does. All this means
is that I will have to learn the more recent spells. I will only have to try them afew times before I can remember them.
I will remember them as soon as I get them right and I will be able to use a lot of power with them, even without a wand."
"Well then. We'll have to make some very special arragments." Albus said chuckling. "Harry, how did your wounds all heal so
fast?" Poppy asked, just now realizing that her patient was completly healed. "I healed myself after I woke up. That is why
I'm so t-tired." His sentance was split with a jaw craking yawn. As if sensing their father's esaustion, Lily and Raven
began to yawn.
Harry, noticing this, quickly conjured up the cribs that were laying in the trunk. Gently taking Lily from Aura, Harry
brought the two girls to the cribs and laid one in each. He then sat back down on the bed. "Harry you need to go to sleep
to." Aura said, beating even Poppy.
"I can't." Harry said simply. "Why not?" Aura asked again. "Because I'll have nightmares." "Well Harry, we'll just get you
a sleeping potion then." Harry looked at her ruefully, "Won't work." This throughly stunned the women. "I have to make myself
a different potion. I just have to invent it."
"So you intend to stay awake for the possible weeks it could take you until you get the potion invented?" "Yes, the thought
had occured to me." Harry said drily. "Harry, you know you can't do that." Harry nodded, again with a dry sort of humor,
"But you see, I haven't been sleeping almost all summer, aside from when I was unconcious that is."
Aura seemed horrified and the twinkle again disapeared from Albus' eyes before returning again. "Well, we'll have to find
a way to get you to sleep then won't we?" "I'll stay with you while you sleep Harry." Aura suggested quietly. When three
suprised gazes she replied, "Well I am his godmother you know. I'll wake him up if he has nightmares."
"You're my godmother?" Asked Harry, suddenly seeming young and vernerible again. "Yes I am, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before
but I couldn't. When your parents died I tried to gain custody of you but Albus," Here she turned to glare at the older man,
"Said that you would be safer with your reletives, which, as we now know, did not offer you any protection anyway as they are
not your blood relevtives!" She ended triumphently.
"Then how come the wards all worked?" Albus asked, directing his question at Harry. "My mother made them work." Albus
nodded, it all was making sense. Now Aura Fade spoke up again, "I am very sorry Harry, you shouldn't have had to suffer all
those years at that place, can you forgive me?"
Harry suprised her by tentively reaching up and hugging her. When she realized what was happening Aura leaned into the
hug and returned it. "It's ok Professor. I forgive you, thank you for telling me." They stayed like that for quite a while
before Poppy interupped saying that Harry needed to get to sleep. Harry went into the lavertory and changed into the hospital
gown that Pomfery handed to him.
When he got back Albus was gone and Aura was sitting on a chair by the cribs holding the sleeping Lily and Raven. "Time
for bed Harry." She said and got up to help him into bed and pull the sheets up over him. "Goodnight." "Goodnight Professor."
"Harry, you can call me Aura." "Oh, alright then, goodnight Aura."
"Sweet dreams." Harry laughed, "Yeah, right." And with that, Harry sank into a deep sleep hoping to have one night without
nightmares.
TO BE CONTINUED...

Hermione fans but I think that they're not meant to be. Little Ron in this story, I don't much like him and you saw how I

As Harry waited for a Professor to come, he could feel unconciousness creeping up on him. The edges of his vision were slowly

I will remember them as soon as I get them right and I will be able to use a lot of power with them, even without a wand."
"Well then. We'll have to make some very special arragments." Albus said chuckling. "Harry, how did your wounds all heal so

I'm so t-tired." His sentance was split with a jaw craking yawn. As if sensing their father's esaustion, Lily and Raven
began to yawn.

Aura seemed horrified and the twinkle again disapeared from Albus' eyes before returning again. "Well, we'll have to find
a way to get you to sleep then won't we?" "I'll stay with you while you sleep Harry." Aura suggested quietly. When three
suprised gazes she replied, "Well I am his godmother you know. I'll wake him up if he has nightmares."
"You're my godmother?" Asked Harry, suddenly seeming young and vernerible again. "Yes I am, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before
but I couldn't. When your parents died I tried to gain custody of you but Albus," Here she turned to glare at the older man,
"Said that you would be safer with your reletives, which, as we now know, did not offer you any protection anyway as they are
not your blood relevtives!" She ended triumphently.
"Then how come the wards all worked?" Albus asked, directing his question at Harry. "My mother made them work." Albus
nodded, it all was making sense. Now Aura Fade spoke up again, "I am very sorry Harry, you shouldn't have had to suffer all
those years at that place, can you forgive me?"
Harry suprised her by tentively reaching up and hugging her. When she realized what was happening Aura leaned into the
hug and returned it. "It's ok Professor. I forgive you, thank you for telling me." They stayed like that for quite a while
before Poppy interupped saying that Harry needed to get to sleep. Harry went into the lavertory and changed into the hospital
gown that Pomfery handed to him.
When he got back Albus was gone and Aura was sitting on a chair by the cribs holding the sleeping Lily and Raven. "Time
for bed Harry." She said and got up to help him into bed and pull the sheets up over him. "Goodnight." "Goodnight Professor."
"Harry, you can call me Aura." "Oh, alright then, goodnight Aura."
"Sweet dreams." Harry laughed, "Yeah, right." And with that, Harry sank into a deep sleep hoping to have one night without
nightmares.
TO BE CONTINUED...
What did ya think? More Harry-Aura bonding in later chapters. Will be a Harry-Hermione romance, sorry for all you Ron
Hermione fans but I think that they're not meant to be. Little Ron in this story, I don't much like him and you saw how I
treat the characters I like......REVIEW!
