It had been a month and Harry was doing well. He was able to gather more
ingredients for himself, from the store during their once a week trip to
Camelot, and now with his new wand he was able to cast complicated spells, and
luckily for him, Jack or Trisha didn't notice about his special abilities.
Everything went well for Harry until the third week of that month. He had gone
fishing with Jack at a river close to Morgana's forest.
"I really don't like to fish here, but this is the river closest to our home,
and you can catch the best fish here," Jack had told him as they settle down to
fish. "Have you done any fishing?" he asked.
"No never had," Harry said, but stopped as he felt something he didn't like.
"Jack, we have to get out of here." An arrow landed between them, quickly
bringing Harry to his feet and moving.
"Get into the cart" Jack said and Harry jumped into the back, as Jack got the
horse moving.
They were riding hard with ten men on horseback chasing them. "Are they the same
ones that attacked you?" Jack yelled
"No, I don't so," Harry said, casting a shield spell he found in a book he
bought at the store. Looking behind him, he knew he had no choice but to try to
stop the riders as they got nearer.
When the first rider got within five feet, Harry shot a leg locking spell at the
horse, and the horse fell, taking his rider with him. Harry fired another. He
had taken out four horses before the others had realized what he was doing.
Harry saw one of them taking aim at him. He quickly stood up and got ready.
Just a second before he shot the arrow, Harry fired the strongest disarming
spell he could use and shot it at the man, exploding in his face, and throwing
him back several yards from his horse, and tumbling on the ground. The remainder
of the riders saw what Harry had just done. They turned their horses around and
rode quickly away.
As the riders rode away, Harry fell to his knees, since he was exhausted from
casting strong spells. He didn't notice the cart had stop and Jack beside him. "
Are you all right?"
Harry nodded, then realized his wand was still out. He tried to put it away, but
Jack stopped him. "It's all right, I know you are a wizard."
Harry nodded. "I saw you coming out of the store the first day, but at the time
I thought you were just curious. Then you went there almost every time we went
to town, so I knew. But I see that you still have a lot to learn."
Harry nodded "We should be going, before they get back," Jack said. Harry laid
down on the floor, he was glad he didn't remove the cushioning spell he place
earlier, as he fell asleep.
Harry awoke in his room. He realized he wasn't alone. "Trisha, how long I was
out?"
She turn to him. "Six hours. Those spells must take a lot out of you." Harry
nodded "I'll get you something to eat, then I will talk to you later after you
rest some more." Harry nodded. Later that evening, Trisha asked if he knew any
potions for headaches, and Harry made her a batch by the next morning.
By that afternoon, Harry was hard at work in the yard. Harry looked up to see a
number of horses heading his way. He quickly called for Jack, and they went to
meet them as they got to the house.
As the riders came, Harry knew they were Arthur's knights. "We are here to
bring the boy to the castle."
Jack stood between Harry and the rider. "Wait he is not a dark wizard."
They nodded. "If we knew he was, we wouldn't be asking nicely. Don't worry, he
is not in trouble."
Jack nodded, then turn to Harry. "It's all right, you can trust them." Harry
nodded, as the lead rider helped Harry up onto his horse, and they rode off.
As always, as the riders rode into town, everyone bowed in respect to them. A
few townspeople noticed Harry seated on the lead horse, but didn't say anything
as they pass through town.
As Harry rode to the castle, it was a sight to behold. This was the first time
he been here, and the first time he seen the castle except in textbooks. The
town almost blocked the entire castle but as he got a good look at it, he
noticed it almost looked like Hogwarts, but unfortunately his sight of the
castle was cut as they got through the outer walls. As they got to the main
doors, they got off their horses and went inside.
It was breath taking inside the castle. The walls were decorated, the floors
were shiny, expressive looking paintings hung on the walls, people wore
beautiful clothing and moved about gracefully. Harry was lead to another large
doors.
In a large room Harry saw the King sitting on a golden throne. They went about
ten feet in front of him, where the knights bowed, and Harry followed suite.
" So you are the one of prophecy," the King said, getting up and taking Harry's
hands to bring him up. "You don't need to be courteous to me. I know you will
help us greatly."
Harry looked at him. "Sir, I not sure I understand, why I'm here?"
He grinned. "Merlin will tell you in due time," as he said that Merlin appeared.
"Welcome, I've been expecting you."
Harry looked at him. "In our time, we had a prophecy, that says when times are
dark, and our lands are threatened, a soul from another time will appear, to
save our land and it's people. I believe you are that soul."
Harry knew he fit that description, but he couldn't understand how he could save
a country. " Sir, are you sure it's me?"
Merlin nodded "You have a power greater then mine, but I see you need help to
use this power." Harry nodded "May I ask your name?"
Harry nodded "My name is Harry Potter, but please call me Harry Evens, just in
case I am placed in the history books."
Merlin gave him bow. "As you wish Harry Evans. Your training will begin tomorrow
at dawn. You will be an apprentice to me." Harry nodded "Arthur, do you have a
room for this young man?" Merlin asked.
Arthur nodded "Yes, indeed." he snapped his fingers, and three girls appeared.
"They will tend to your needs, and what ever you want, will be granted." Harry
thanked him and was led out of the room.
In his room Harry servants were getting his bath ready. When they offer to
scrub his back, he shook his head. "May I have some privacy please? All I would
like is help to get around the castle. Other then that, I can do everything
myself."
The girls nodded. "Then we'll get you when dinner is served." They bowed and
left.
"So this is being treated like royalty," he thought as he got ready for a nice
bath.
After the bath, Harry looked at his clothes. "I guess I better get used to
wearing medieval style clothing," he thought as he put a plan looking shirt and
pants on, and looking at a mirror. "Not bad. I wonder when dinner is."
As if on cue, the there was a knock on the door, and Harry answered it. "Sir,
dinner is ready. " Harry nodded and was led to the great hall.
The great hall was huge. To Harry's surprise, everyone was eating in it, from
knights to guards, from servants to the ground people. Harry was led to the main
table, where the King was seated. "Glad to have you here, please sit," he said
pointing to a chair across the table from him.
As Harry sat, she listen to others talking about Royal events or duties, and he
stayed mostly quiet until Arthur looked at him. "Sorry about ignoring you all
through dinner, could I ask you about our future?"
Harry was about to say something, but Merlin, stopped him. "Your sire, it may
not be appropriate to learn about the future, that does not concern us."
The King nodded. " Yes you are right Merlin, then please if you can, tell us
what you know about being a wizard."
Harry explained about his school, and what he knew. Merlin seemed impressed at
what Harry had said and learned.
Merlin asked him to show him some of potions he was knew, which Harry did
gladly.
All through the night Harry talked about his school and himself, until he
became too tired and had excuse himself. With his servants help, he was taken to
his room, and only to wake up an hour before breakfast the next day.
