"I'm done Captain Levi" Harry can hear Eren from his place atop of the tower as he mundanely cleans the windowsill, if he's taken hours to do so, that's not his problem.

"Yeah, let go see then" the aforementioned captain states with no faith, Harry stifles his amusement as Levi turns his gaze towards him before following his wayward brother back into their temporary home.

Turning his gaze away, his lip twitching as his brother exclaims in dismay, when the captain berates his skills. His eyes stop upon the bright head of Petra as she seems to be chiding the budget Levi guy from the other day.

He finds them all amusing, these scouts.

Absently tapping his index finger on the window ledge he's leaning on he sends a pulse of magic throughout the room, his magic finding and destroying anything that could be considered filth, he even adds a lavender fragrance for shits and giggles.

With his chore complete - under a reasonably timely manner of four hours- Harry exits the tower before descending down the steps, not realizing that his new power boost had caused his display of magic to spread throughout the whole of the castle, instead of just the room he was assigned.

Luckily, or unluckily only a certain captain noticed.

Said captain has his eyes squinted with his eagle-like vision cataloging all the filth his new lackey has cleaned, the constant filth that surrounds him has always been a bane to his existence.

"Sir, is this good?" The snot has the audacity to think his cleaning is good, turning he goes to reprimand the little shit, before he stalls as his keen eyes catch the speckles of dust the boy missed start to fade from his eyes.

Turning his gaze around the room he watches in fascination as the familiar scene plays out, he thought he told that fucker no special abilities when cleaning, not wanting the government to catch on, just because the man has lucked out with no contact with the King doesn't mean it won't happen.

If only Levi knew of Harry's escapades, since arriving into this strange world.

With an aggravated sigh he gives the younger Yaeger a glare satisfied when he jerks into attention, "clean this shitty room up right" not caring that it's probably spotless.

"Ah-yes! Sir!" Eren squeaks, before relaxing as the scary captain leaves.

——-

Levi catches Harry just as he steps off the last step of the stairs leading to the top of the tower, where their new guest has been stationed. The black haired male before him insisting on having room atop the tower, why? Levi can say.

"Oh, well hello" Harry's ever so jolly voice meets his ears, though he doesn't say anything as he crosses his arms just staring blankly waiting for the man to speak, wary, but trusting that Harry won't do anything that would make him have to take the man down, no matter how much of a necessity Harry could be.

"Idiot" is all he says after a second, spinning on his heels he starts towards the main exit. He turns his head back when he notices there isn't a set of footsteps following.

"Oui! Come on" he says to Harry before continuing on,

"To where?" The wary reply is heard but Levi doesn't bother to respond,

"Aye! Answer me!" The squawk makes a small smile appear on Levi's face as he leads Harry to an open field wanting to truly get this tension out of the way, and the only way he knows is a spar.

Harry watches the form of Levi for a second before he huffs and follows, wondering what the man is up to now.

Their footfalls echo throughout the halls, as they progress through the building Harry can't help but notice that the place is unusually clean, turning to Levi he questions.

"You must have been determined to clean this?" He speaks unknowingly causing a twitch to Levi's eyebrow as the man registers Harry's words.

Harry turns to look at Levi, when he doesn't hear anything from the man, his eyes widen a little at the exacerbated look on his face, a different expression from his solemn blank look.

"What?" Harry asks not knowing why he suddenly feels sheepish under the incredulous look.

"Pretty determined, I'd say, almost like… magic?" Levi says purposely enunciating the last word.

Clearly amused if Harry can tell, Harry doesn't understand why he'd say it's like magic unless he-

'Oh' well Snape did alway say he was a dunderhead.

"Ah…" he trails off, not knowing what to say, he's still adjusting to the power boost, his core is sore, from the influx of magic, he's not surprised his simple spells seem to go overboard. He's not used to this, after all the vigorous training he went into as a Auror. To suddenly be back at base one, having raw power, but no finesse.

"…sorry" he says sheepishly, now knowing why, or assuming that's why the man is leading him around the place.

"Tch, you won't see me complaining about this" Levi mutters into his enhanced ears, making Harry smile at his clean freak of a friend, or whatever they are.

Harry hasn't decided what to do to the man, he hasn't forgotten about his little show, with his brother being the star.

Continuing with his stride as muses one why they are heading outside as he follows Levi as they make towards the main exit, his tred slows as he basks in the warm glow of the sun, shaking his head to clear his mind before he falls to far behind, pushing forward he catches up to the surprisingly fast Captain.

"so, where're we going?" He asks, leaning down the short distance into Levi's ear while speaking softly, watching in amusement as the prickly man jolts away with a withering glare.

"Keep your distance, I've already got enough with you four-eyes and invading my person." Levi hisses, sounding like a cat in Harry's opinion.

He can catch the red flaming Levi's neck that's peaking through his collar, letting out a laugh as he realizes just how much he's missed teasing the uptight shorty.

Neither seeing the dumbfounded faces of those who have never seen their captain express so wildly.

———

"If you can't become a Titan, that your are of no use to Humanity" Captain Levi's words bounces in his head.

With a gulp, Eren looks up from his position deep in the well, his gaze anchoring to Harry who gives him a reassuring smile, though Eren knows Harry disagrees with this, the crazy scientist stuck him in this abandoned well while telling him to transform, he doesn't understand why he needs to be in here to do it, but under the stern glare of Levi he relented.

He knows and trusts Harry would stop them should he be in any real danger.

'Why me!'

Lifting his hand he stares.

'Why am I the one to bear this burden'

Shaking his head he stops himself from going down that route, it's not going to help anyone.

'Just bite it' he tells himself, he's not scared of the pain, but fearful of his power, Mikasa's scar flashing in his eyes.

"Levi will kill me if I lose control', but he can't let fear stop him.

'Do it!' He growls, while he forces himself to pierce his hand using his teeth, his eyes flinch waiting for the familiar sensation.

Opening his eyes, he finds himself still inside the well, not in his Titan form.

Looking up he almost wilts under the intense eyes, some hostile, while others waiting, he meets the familiar Green eyes that have become a comfort for him and tries to steel himself.

"Come on!" He cries out as he tears into his palm again, he doesn't feel anything.

"Now!" he snarls into his palm feeling desperation sitting in as he feels the weight of failing, setting in, if he can't, then everyone will die, he's the only thing that can save them.

He furiously tugs on the flesh in his mouth, feeling the pain as he pulls.

"Eren" the sten, but soft voice of Harry meets his ears, causing him to instinctively pause not knowing why, but feeling the gentle command pulse into his soul.

"Stop, you're not going to get anywhere doing it like that." Eren feels like a child as Harry crouches in front of him to cradle his hand, the calloused hands holding his like he's something precious, the thought alone could break him.

"I thought I could count on them to figure this out, seeing as they have been dealing with these Titan, longer than I" Harry states more so to their audience, than to him.

He doesn't know where Harry stored it, but knowing him he just conjured them, he muses as Harry pulls out a wad of gauze, seemingly from his pocket to expertly wrap his steadily hand.

After he's finished to his satisfaction Harry stands helping Eren, who didn't realize he had fallen on his knees in his distress.

"You go first" Harry says, indicating to the latter they must have given Harry to get down, not knowing they threw it in after the man jumped down.

He only nods his face as he climbs up.

———

Harry stands over by the bowl of stew he's been tending to while listening to the conversation around the table they have set up near the failed experiment.

"So your self-inflicted bite wounds on your hands aren't healing, either?" Harry hears the concern in Levi's voice, having heard it used on Isabel.

"No." Eren's meek reply makes him frown, he needs to find a way to understand these shifter powers, not liking that Eren is in a vulnerable position.

"If you can't transform into a Titan, our main goal of sealing Wall Maria is off the table." Harry doesn't understand why they tend to forget about him, though he understands that when magic isn't a part of your life it doesn't come to mind for a solution.

Also, admittedly neither of them really understand the scope of his abilities, and while he wants to help these people, he is tired of being a civilization's weapon.

The only reason he's allowing them to use Eren is because he knows Eren is choosing to do this.

Pushing in the potatoes with a knife he listens as Levi reassures Eren,"Don't let it get you down, Eren."

"But-" Eren tried to start but Levi continued like he didn't hear the boy.

"-Well, it just means you're more human than I thought. Better than rushing into something and getting killed." Harry feels his irritation with Levi fade as he sees the touching scene, he knows that Levi probably sees Isabel when he listens to Eren.

The red haired girl, 'such a fiery one.' He can't help but think with melancholy.

Nodding to himself Harry sets the wooden spoon actors the pot, before going to sit with his fellows allowing the food to simmer.

As he reaches Eren he notices that the boy is staring off into space.

"Are you okay?" He hears Petra ask him, watching in amusement as Eren jolts before nodding with thanks, the ever so polite boy, when he wants to be.

The hairs on the back of Harry's neck rise as the familiar static-like charge fills the area, he notices that Levi was the first to notice as he immediately shift out of the way, the same time a bright flash, andresulting boom invades the area as Steam billows in the aftermath.

Harry blinks as the steam clears.

"Hey!"

"What the fuck!" He hears the Levi impersonater speak

"Why now!?" The scared voice of Eren keeps his attention, as he shifts in front of the giant partial body, housing Eren, not caring of the multitude of sharp swords aimed at his person.

"Calm down." The stern voice of Levi makes him relax knowing the man can sense the situation. Levi wouldn't have tried to defuse the situation if he didn't think there was a misunderstanding.

"Captain Levi!" Petra screams out, making him be reminded of the Weasley matriarch.

"This is…" the Hershey's kiss starts but is quicky shot down.

"I said to calm down!" Levi raises his voice, which is filled with irritation.

"All of you." But again he is ignored.

"Eren... What's the meaning of this?!" Olou? Harry can't remember shouts.

"Sir?" Petra states in confusion, but is slowly coming back from her fright.

"Why now?" The blonde spits out viciously.

"Without permission? Answer me!" The man spittle practically spraying into Harry's face.

Harry is just one second away from spelling them all to sleep.

"Eldo, wait!" Levi tries, but is interrupted by the Hershey's Kiss man.

"Answer him, Eren! What are you thinking?"

"No, that can wait... Prove you're not our enemy, humanity's enemy!" He snarls

"Prove it!" Everyone shouting is grating on Harry's Nerves.

"Now!"

"That is your responsibility!"

"I dare you to make a single move with that arm! I'll cut off your head! I can do it... I'm serious!" Olou, speaks with false vibrato.

"Want to try me?" He says taking a step forward, making Harry's finger twitch.

"Oluo, I said to calm down!"

"Captain, get away from Eren! You're too close!" Petra tries again, worried for her Captain Harry is commendable on that, still.

"No, you're the ones who should get back." Harry says simply, but isn't heard.

, as Levi shouts

"Get back!"

" Why?!" The blonde one, eldo? Asks finally tying to listen for once.

"My intuition." Levi states simply his tone showing his conviction.

"What's wrong, Eren?" Levi asks more solfty to Eren.

"Say something!" Harry is so tempted to silence these fools, but doesn't want to escalate the situation.

"Like I said... No sudden movements!"

"Prove it to me, Eren!"

"Answer us! You think we can't kill you?"

I'd like to see you try Harry says darkly, his temper finally getting fed up, he will let them kill Eren over his dead body, and it stands to reason that is a very hard thing to accomplish.

"I'm serious!" He doesn't care to know who stated that he just knows he's tired of the yelling.

"Do it now!"

"Are you even listening!"

"Okay, let's do this!" Harry lets his Aura flash as they shift into a springing position.

A-Are you humanity's" Olou tries to speak but the sudden scary feeling makes him stutter.

"Please shut up for a second!" Eren screams, Harry shivers at the power in the boy's voice, he unknowingly uses it.

"Eren!" The excited Hange can be seen, and heard in the distance as they run fanatically, while shouting.

"touch that arm?!" They ask, like a puppy for a bone, in Harry's opinion, thankful for the distraction from his slip up.

"It's okay, right? Right?" They bounce in place before reaching towards the fleshless arm.

"Just let me touch it!" They practically salivate.

Harry has half a mind to stop them, but decides to tend to Eren instead.

"Hanji... Wait a second-" The ever so loyal assistant tried to dissuade the scientist, Harry huffs in amusement as hange yelps from the heat of the titans form.

-It's... hot!" The assistant finishes lamely.

"Yeouch!" Hange says as they flap their hands trying to alleviate the burning sensation.

"Without the skin, it's really damned hot!"

"Unbelievably hot!" They say, leaning closer before pulling back in dismay as it starts to disintegrate.

"Noo! I wanted to pla-experiment on it"

Yeah remind Harry to never allow Hange to find out he can't die.

If a boggart morphs into a cackling Hange, with a scalpel. only he'll know.

A/n:

Sorry for the inconsistency in updating.

Harry seeing Levi stand up for Eren is some good brownie points.

I wanted to pull what aot did with the Annie, Vs. Mikasa fight. leave it to your imagination(totally not cause fight scenes are my weakness).

It's hard trying to keep track of characters names especially when they are gonna die, so if the dialogue I pulled from the show isn't who said it sorry.
