So yeah wonderful things, I'm sorry but this story is going to take a little while to set up. Much will happen, but unfortunately only in the near future.

Thank you kindly for reading. I think I may be conveying Harry as a bit of a wuss, so I'm gonna try and change that.

Harry Potter and the Disc.

Nothing over the months leading up to Christmas really happened. Well nothing to write about anyway. Qudditch was going well, they studied hard, and had fun, and it was almost like a normal school year. The day after his meeting with dumbledore, Harry had got up and behaved like nothing had happened. If he told his friends he'd be forced to talk about it, and if he didn't they'd just worry. This way he could pretend it wasn't happening. Though in the pit of his stomach, he knew it was all drawing closer. Though this time gave him an opportunity to talk himself into it. And he'd managed to vaguely convince himself it wasn't so bad.

Although one slight thing had changed. Draco Malfoy. Harry's previous school rival seemed to be having a quiet year; he backed out of conflicts and simply did his work. He was still the git they always knew, just slight more subdued. And Harry found he missed interaction with the blonde boy.

For the Christmas Holidays Harry was aloud to go and stay with Lupin, and on Christmas day He and Remus went to the Weasley household for Christmas lunch. Although his Christmas's at Hogwarts had always been good, this beat them all, he felt like he had a family. Nothing could have bought Harry down that day.

Later in the evening, they all sat round the fire of the Weasleys living room, full of food and contented. Remus and Mrs Weasley were slightly squiffy, and giggling madly. (A/n: Oo Remus giggling…)

When they heard a faint tapping, looking for the source of the noise, they spotted a barn owl fluttering outside. Ron quickly let the owl in; it immediately landed next to Harry and stuck its leg out.

Harry the note read,

You're presence is requested immediately at Hogwarts, only bring all your things with you. And Remus is to accompany you, use floo to my office,

Sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

Harry looked up from the note surprised, and gazed at the expectant faces, in front of him. "Professor Dumbledore wants me back at Hogwarts. Now. Remus he wants you to come with me."

Remus nodded, understanding the importance of the matter. "May we use some floo powder Mr Weasley?"

"Of course Harry."

They said they're good byes and Harry and Remus flooed into Dumbledores office. The headmaster greeted them in his usual cheerful manner, offering tea and cakes, which Harry and Remus both declined. Then Dumbledore became very grave. "I think Harry, you know why you're here." The great man said slowly.

Harry swallowed and nodded, "I'm afraid we cannot wait any longer, you must leave for the Disc tonight."

Harry's stomach lunged; 'tonight?' his mind screamed 'thanks for the notice.'

But instead Harry said, "How do I get there? And how long till I go?"

"I've arranged how you'll get there, but I think it's best if I don't explain right now, but he should be arriving for you within the hour. I'm afraid there is one more thing I must spring on you Harry. You won't be going alone. And I know this may be a bit of a shock to you, but Draco Malfoy will be accompanying you." Harry went to interrupt but dumbledore held up a hand "I have my reasons for this Harry, and I ask you trust me for now. Now get ready to leave, I will meet you at the entrance hall in 30 minutes with young Mr Malfoy."

That was it, no more to be said, Harry dejectedly left the office with Lupin.

Harry didn't really say a lot during the half an hour before leaving, they packed a trunk of clothes and other things he might need. And shrunk it to fit in his pocket.

They then made their way to the entrance hall, where Dumbledore waited with Malfoy, who was looking nervous. And he refused to make eye contact with Harry. Dumbledore lead them silently out onto the grounds, and near to Hagrids hut. They stood quietly, watching they're breath swirling in the cold air. And then he was there, Harry didn't notice him arrive, one minute there was nothing, and then there was a large white horse, with a cloaked rider holding a great scythe, which glinted in the moonlight. The figure got off the great steed, and came to stand in front of them. "DUMBLEDORE." He nodded.

Harry shook his head, he was sure he knew the person spoke but he didn't hear the voice through his ears, it was just in his head. A metallic echo type of a voice. Death lowered his hood. He was over 7ft tall, and was nothing but a skeleton, the smooth bone of his skull glowed brightly in the night. "Death." Said dumbledore "thank you for coming, you of course know of the importance of what we these boys have to do."

Death nodded "IT IS NOT IN MY PLACE TO INTERFERE WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THE LIVING BUT AS YOU ARE OF A DIFFERENT WORLD I SAW NO HARM IN TAKING THEM TO THE DISC."

Dumbledore nodded, it all seemed very formal, but Harry could tell death demanded great respect, but his mind buzzed with more questions than he could recognise.

"THIS WAY PLEASE BOYS."

Death lead them back over to the horse. "Bye professor Dumbledore, goodbye Remus." Harry managed to say

"Be careful Harry, come back to me in one piece ok?" Remus smiled with watery eyes

Harry nodded, "Good luck boys" dumbledore chuckled lightly despite the situation, "It'll be an adventure you won't forget."

Death climbed onto the horse, reached down and hauled Draco up in front of him, Draco faces was priceless, and Harry fought the laughter. He knew that he was about to get on a horse with death and go to some different world to get a weapon to kill the most powerful wizard alive, and he was going with absolutely no knowledge of the world and his current school rival. But his fear disappeared, it was going to be fun as well, he was strangely looking forward to it, it would, as Dumbledore said be an adventure. Hey he was a Griffindor after all, we have courage, and aren't afraid of new things. So he pushed the frightening things that waited for him at home aside, and set about his mission.

Death hosted Harry up on to the horse as well, and they set off. Being on deaths horse was not like anything he had ever felt before, the great white animal climbed into the sky as though it was an every day thing, and Harry watched the world just seem to disappear, and they were riding through space, at a speed Harry knew probably couldn't be recorded. Soon they were touching down; the place was like nowhere Harry had ever seen. The landscape was just that of black, grey and purple. There was a black tree with a swing, and in a pond little black skeletal fish swam around. Death dismounted, and helped the boys to do the same. He led them to a small cottage, and led them in. Harry jumped when Draco spoke "excuse me, but where are we?"

Death looked at him "THIS IS MY HOME, TIME DOES NOT PASS HERE SO YOU'RE NOT LOSING ANY TIME DONT WORRY. I HAVE SOMETHING I'M REQUIRED TO GIVE YOU."

"Sorry but…" Draco was cut off

"IM SURE YOU HAVE MANY QUESTIONS, AND I WILL ANSWER THEM BUT FIRST LET US SIT DOWN."

Death opened a door and led them into a study, Harry couldn't put a finger on it, but the room felt wrong. "PLEASE SIT DOWN" Death gestured with a huge skeletal hand

Harry and Draco obeyed and sat, "ASK AWAY."

"What's going on?" it slipped out before he could stop it.

"GOOD QUESTION. YOU POTTER ARE TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF YOURE WORLD. THE WEAPON TO ACHIEVE THIS IS SOMEWHERE IN THE DISCWORLD. I WAS ASKED BY YOUR HEADMASTER TO TAKE YOU THERE BECAUSE AS DEATH I CAN GO ANYWHERE. WE HAVE MADE A SHORT STOP HERE SO CAN MAKE THINGS CLEAR TO YOU. AND GIVE YOU YOUR GUARDIAN."

Harry could not hide his surprise; death read his reaction correctly "YES GUARDIAN POTTER. DID YOU THINK DUMBLEDORE WOULD ALLOW YOU TO WANDER AROUND UNPROTECTED?" the two far away burning blue points that were deaths eyes, bore into his soul.

Draco being far more composed than Harry gathered himself "What's to happen now? Where are you to take us from here?"

"I AM TO TAKE YOU TO THE RAMTOP MOUNTAINS. WHERE THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE DISC. THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS. I WILL HAVE NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH YOU. UNLESS YOU DIE THAT IS." Death grinned, at least he would have, if he had a face, and wasn't just a skull.

Death got up from his desk, and walked to the door of his study, "PAHKET PLEASE JOIN US."

In the door a black panther cub came trotting in, well it would have been a normal panther cub, if it didn't had black feathery wings sprouting out of it's back. The cub jumped on the desk, "THIS IS YOUR GUARDIAN BOYS. MEET PAHKET. PAKHET HARRY POTTER AND DRACO MALFOY."

Harry could have sworn the cat nodded. He and Draco made eye contact for the first time that day, Draco had an eyebrow raised conveying exactly what Harry thought. 'This is our guardian? It's nothing but a baby', the pair refrained from voicing their opinions aloud.

End of chappy 3, I couldn't be bothered to write anymore, and I apologise if it's boring. I really hope it made sense. I have a habit of not.

By the way Pakhet is the name of an Egyptian lion goddess her name roughly translates as 'she who scratches' or 'tearer'. And for the sake of the story it's a panther because I think their cooler.

Go on review, just to tell me it's bad. Thanks for reading.
